A War Upon Tuberculosis.
The state of Kansas is endeavoring
to collect statistics on all tubercular
cases within its borders, and has in
auguratcd a vlgorouscampalgn against
tuberculosis, says the St. Joe News.
Dr. S. J. Crumblne, secretary cf the
state board of health, has prepared
some pamphlets on this subject, call'
Ing attention to the nature of the dl8
ease and giving advice as to how to
prevent Infection.
As the chief conditions necessary for
successful treatment, ho gives early
recognition of the disease, fresh air In
the greatest abundance day and night,
plenty of the most nutritious food,
absolute rest In bed until the fever
has ceased, and carefully regulated
exercise. Much attention is given to
disinfecting and the pamphlet con
tains a number of formulas for dlsln
fectants. These pamphlets are to be
distributed in the schools of Kansas
and through the medical fraternity
Circulars are to be sent to every phy
slclan in the state asking them to re
port each case of turberculosls. The
whole is part of a campaign to stamp
out the "white-plague." The result
will be watched with interest by the
government medical authorities, and
other states may gain valuable Infor
mation for use In the great alTort
which must be made to check the
disease.

In Otoe, D. W. Livingston.
A special from Nebraska City, Kays:
"A pretty romance culminated last
evening In the marriage of Hon. D.
W. Livingston and Miss Emma Schaf-
f ers at the homo of the bride's mother,
by Bev. J. A. Koser, pastor of the
Lutheran church. The young people
nave oecn seeping company lor some
time, the groom being one of the
leading young attorneys of the Otoe
county bar and city attorney for two
years, and since ho has been a resident
of this city he made the race several
times for office, but each time failed
in getting the required number of
votes to securo htm the cilice. The
young lady finally agreed that, If he
could be elected to ollice she would bo
come his wife, lie was given tho
nomination for county attorney on
the democratic ticket In August and
since that time has devoted all of his
spare time from his practice to cam
palgning and Tuesday lie was chosen

jorlty and last evening the happy
couple were united In marriage and
left for the east on their wedding trip
The young lady Is very popular, be
ing a leader in society ana the groom

ding was a quiet affair, nouc but the

SUCCESS IS NOW ASSURED
ManyOrders Received for Plattsmouth Gloves
For Which Merchants Find Ready Sale.
The Plattsmouth Glove company
have demonstrated to the people of
this vlclnityhat they can establsh a
profitable factory In Plattsmouth.
The manager or the plant informs us
that orders for gloves are accumulat
ing very fast, merchants of Sheridan,
Wyo., Council Bluffs and Omaha send
ing orders for the Plattsmouth glove,
which tbey declare gives the best
satisfaction for the money and for
which they readily find purchasers
Some of the people of this vicinity
found fault with the gloves on ac
count of the seam ripping open, but
this defect was in the thread and not
in the workmanship. Another thread
was secured to fasten the gloves to
gether, and this has overcome that
fault. At present II. M. Craig, the
manager of the company, has a force
of five at work, but the factory is
equipped with enough machinery to
run fifteen cutters, of whom they have
enly three who are experienced in this
particular part of making the gloves.
The factory has been turning out
working gloves thus far, but as soon
as the apprenctlces become skillful
workmen, the dress glove will be made
A new driving glove recently turned
out by Mr. Craig is of rough material
but shows the workmanship that
done in factory. The orders of which
tbey have fifteen, are being delayed at
present on account of not having
material, which Is expected in a few
days.

he Man Who Shot Conductor "Stubby"
Walters Was There Only Two Days.
The Omaha Bee In speaking of the
death of Carl Kramer, the man win
shot Conductor Walters, says:
"The body of Carl Kramer, who
died at 10 p. m. Wednesday at the
hnaha General hospital from Injuries
received by shooting himself In the
mouth on Burlington train No. 4,
Wcduesday morning, near Gretna, was
taken In charge by I'ndertaker Bur
kct. Inquiries made at Memphis,
Neb., where Kramer boarded a train
for Omaha, have elicited the informa
tion that Kramer was not a resident
of that piece, had only been there two
days and had no relatives In the
vicinity.
' Mayor Peters of Gretna arrived In
Omaha, Thursday morning:, and took
the body to Gretna, where tho khoot
Ing occurred but it lias not been de
cided if an inquest will be held."
The brakeman who was with
'Shorty" Walters at the time of the
shooting passed through this city on
No. 4, and again on No. 7 today,
While In Lincoln last evening ho saw
tho victim of the shooting allray and
found him resting comparatively well
considering tho fact that he had been
shot twice through the back and once
through the right shoulder. The
wounds arc not as serious as w as at
first supposed, and Conductor Walters
will doubtlessly recover with good
treatment and care.

Now Is the Time to Subscribe.
A man who was too economical to
subscribe for his home paper sent his
little boy to borrow the copy taken by
bis neighbor.
In his haste the boy ran over a l .00
stand of bees, and In ten minutes look
ed like a warty summer squash.
His cries reached his father, who
ran to his assistance, and failing to no
tice a barbed wire fence, ran Into it,
breaking It down and cutting a hand
ful of llcsh from his anatomy, besides
ruining a $" pair of pants.
The family cow took advantage of
the gap in the fence and got into the
corn field and killed herself eating
green corn.
Hearing the racket, the wife ran
out, upset a four gallon churn of rich
cream into a basket of kittens, drown
ing the whole flock.
Io her hurry she dropped a $25 set of
false teeth.
The baby.lef t alonc.crawled through
the spilled cream and Into the parlor,
ruining a $20 carpet.
During the excitement the oldest
daughter ran away with the hired man,
the dog broke up eleven sitting hens,
and the calves got out and chewed the
hems off four fine skirts.

The Telephone as a Watchman
Many an isolated community finds
the telephone the chief safeguard of
its property. Just as in cities the tel
cphone system used by the police dc
partment keeps the patrolmen In con
stant touch with the station house, In
the country where there Is no regular
patrol, the neighbors along a tele'
phone line can watch each other's in
te rests. In many places for example
the Instruments are used to catch
borsethieves. Whenever a robbery Is
reported tbe sheriff telephones the
farmers on every road of the surround
ing territory. After the description
of the stolen animal has been given to
the whole country It is very difflcult
for the thief to escape, for he must
get away over some traveled thorough
fare and one of the farmers who has
had telephone notification of his ap
pearance Is certain to apprehend him
It there is an accident, or sudden
illness comes, a word from a doctor
may save a life which could not wait
unaided for him to take a long drive
If fire threatens, the whole country
side Is summoned In a few moments
tramps and thieves notoriously avoid
places to which the telephone wires
lead.

Jl 50 Dnss Goods at 87 cents
at closing out sale of Ilerold's stock.
The people of this city again had
the pleasure of witnessing the excel
lent little entertainer, Miss Ethel
Dovey, when she appeared last even
Ing at the Parmcle In the musical
play, "His Highness, the Bey." That
she still possesses the ability to please
her home folks beyond their greatest
expectations was fully demonstrated
by the hearty reception that was
manifested In continuous rounds of
applause, from the first moment, when
she appeared upon the stage, up to the
final drop of the curtain.
In the role of Doris, daughter of Sir
Arthur Burlingamc, the military gov
ernor of Egypt, Miss Dovey far excelled
the other members of the company,
and it was about this little lady, who
ustly deserves the sobriquet "The
Pride of Plattsmouth," that the In
terest of the nine hundred people pre
sent was centered.
When she appeared for the first
time In the musical number, "Waltz
Me Around Again, Willie," she cap
turcd the hearts of the entire audi
ence, who did not realize that the
sweet little fairy before them was
Miss Ethel, until she broke forth In a
song that could not be equalled by any
others. At the conclusion of this
number encores were repcate iy called
for by the enraptured audience. Miss
Dovey was also highly applauded when
she sang, "Can You Keep a Secret?"
with sweet intonations, and In a win
some manner.
Although the play lasted until a late
hour the audience was loath to see
Miss Dovey appear io the final act,
for her graceful movements and wel
come little figure, had been watched
with the greatest enjoyment through'
out the evening. The management
of this troupe are to be congratulated
In securing such a favorite and supe
rlor little actress.
