Tuesday a gentleman who acts in the
sapacity of "country salesman" for
some tea and coffee house, drove into
town a day or two since, and while mak
ing his way through Main street,- drove
smack dab beside the street sprinkler.

and his goods received a good drenching.
He became very grogy, but soon cooled
off when he was told that there was
plenty room on the other side of the
street for "country salesmen" who paid
no license to sell goods. Moral - Keep
away from the spinkler or you will get
"cold wet feet."
The Limit of Life.
The most eminent medical scientists
are unaminous in the conclusion that
the generally accepted limitation of
human life is many years below the at
tainment ssibly with the advanced
knowledge of which the race is now
possessed. The critical period, that de
termines its duration, seems to be be
tween r0 and fi; the proper care of the
body during this decade cannot be too
strongly urged; carelessness then being
fatal to longevity. Nature's best help

in reference to the meeting of himself
and Mr. Schlater, after a separation of
twenty years, says: "When the editor
af this paper suggested the name of
Frank E. Schlater as democratic candi
date for treasurer he did so from an
estimate of him given us by a number
of men, many of them influential repub
licans, and with no thought that he was
the same Frank we knew twenty years
ago as a clerk in Zink & Kelly's law
office. It was a happy coincidence,
and we enjoyed the renewal of the old
friendship very much. And here we
want to serve notice on the rest of the
world that Frank can have anything
we can help him get. We have no idea
that we will ever forget the goose
Frank killed the night we got lost
while hunting in the sand hills south of
Alliance. We ate fried goose without
pepper or salt - it tasted good too."

Nicholas Todd Dies
Saturday at 11:15 at the home of
his brother, A. L. Todd, west of this
city, Nicholas Ephriam Todd, passed
away, surrounded by his immediate
relatives. Nick, as he is familiarly
called was born January 19, 1831, and
was twenty-six years old the nineteenth
of last January. He has lived in this
county all his life, and is well known by
everybody, having grown to manhood
here. About a year and a half ago he
was married to Miss Bertha Adamson.
He has not been strong for some
time, but for the past two years had
been getting weaker, and for about five
or six weeks has been confined to his
bed, and about two weeks since, was
taken to Omaha, where he was operated
opon for "Plural Effusion" an affection
of the plura or covering of the lungs.
After the operation, the patient seem
ed to rally and was brought home dur
ing the forepart of the week.
Do Suckers Bite?
There was a watch peddler doing a
land-office business in town Saturday,
and as a result there are a number of
citizens wearing "20-year guaranteed
gold-filled cases, with movements that
have as many as five jewels" for which
they traded good watches and "gave
up" good money. A gold filled watch
for $7 must be a dandy; but they are
guaranteed by a man 300 miles away.
Wonder what next? A gold brick will
sell quicker than dollar bills, and fake
mining stock quicker than a gilt-edge
block of stock in any home enterprise.
When you buy goods at home you help
build uy your home town. But when
it is given to itinerant "sheenys" and
catalogue houses it goes old Nick
only knows where. But suckers will
bite. Nehawka Register.

Mrs. Claude Butler of 613 So. Tenth
street, Plattsmouth, Nebraska, says:
"My two little boys were troubled with
a weakness of the kidneys and auxiMary
organs. The older child complained so
much of backache and headache. We
were kept busy in trying remedies, hop
ing to find something that would over
come the difficulties, but with little suc
cess until I got Doan's Kidney Pills at
Gering & Co. 's drug store. The use of
this preparation soon made a marked
improvement in both cases. It is need
less to say that our appreciation of
Doan's Kidney Pills which brought such
positive results is exceedingly great. "

Will Move to Plainview
Peter Spader has just returned from
a trip to Plainview where he went some
days ago to look at the lands in Pierce
county for sale, with a view to making
a purchase if he could find anything that
would suit him. But not finding any
thing for sale which appealed to him, as
to quality and price, though there were
many nice farms for sale, he leased a
half section of fine land and will move
on it either this fall or early in the spring.
Mr. Spader reports that the crops are
in fine condition and promises a bounti
ful harvest, and the lands are fine, pro
ducing a landscape which is pleasant to
behold.
Wishes to Locate Here
David Mason came in this morning
from Greenwood, where he has been
visiting with a brother. He will look
around heie during the day for a .place
to purchase, and if he can find one to
suit him he will return to Plattsmouth
and make it his home. Mr. Mason is a
brother of Jacob Mason, and lived here
years ago, moving to Missouri about
twelve years ago, where he has been
engaged in farming. The high waters
of the Missouri river bottoms has caused
him considerable loss. This year he
lost over a hundred acres of corn and
last year something over 105. These
losses do not come easy, and he desires
to get somewhere that they may be
avoided in the future.

BEATS CHARLIE ROSS
But Nevertheless Says The
Story is True
A strange story of atxluction by a tor
nado when a mere child and only re
cently restored to his brothers and sis
ters, one of whom, a brother, is said to
reside at Fairfield, Neb., comes from
Villisca, Iowa.
Charles Bennet, the man in the story
tells this remarkable tale: I'icked up
and carried a long distance by a tornado
when a child, now a man of years, he
was only recently, through a quarrel
with his supposed father, made aware
of the facts. The people who he says
found him lying on the prairie after the
storm had passed, took him with them
to Louisiana, where he rose to manhood
knowing no other parents.
Less than a week ago he says he and
his foster father quarreled when Bennet
says he was told his life story and was
given $700 in money and directions as
to how he could best fined his relatives.
The search, he says, led him to Fairfield,
Neb., and to Villisca, in the former
place finding a brother and in the latter
place a sister living.
At the time of the tornado the family
was living in Harrison county, Missouri.
Bennet was then six years of age. The
name of the family with whom he says
he has been living since being carried
away is Hudson. The sisters name at
Villisca is Mrs. Benjamin Richard
son. State Journal.
FUNERAL OF
NICHOLAS E. TODD
Laid at Rest Monday After
noon at the Oak Hill
Cemetery
Nicholas Ephriam Todd was born Jan
uary 19, 1881, at the old homestead of
his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Ed
Todd north of town and where he lived
until May 24, 1906, at which time he
married Miss Bertha May Adamson and
moved to Plattsmouth. He had been a
sufferer for some months which finally
culminated in an operation, after which
he continued to grow worse until on
August 3d he closed his eyes to all that
is mortal. The deceased leaves a wife,
father, mother and six brothers to mourn
his demise.
The services were conducted from the
home of his brother, Allie Todd, where
he died. The pastor of the Christian
church, assisted by the choir, had charge
of the services. The choir consisted of
Mrs. Mae Morgan, Mr. and Mrs. G. M.
Porter, E. M. Godwin and Jesse Perry.
Miss Gertrude Stenner presided at the
piano. The six brothers, Allie, Lonnie,
George, Eddie, Timothy and Russell act
ed as pallbearers.
Rev. Zink paid a fitting tribute to the
young life so suddenly cut short and in
part said, ' 'The occasion suggests three
things the mutability of all that is earth
ly; the beauty in a life given and devot
ed to the teachings of the word of God ;
and the extatic emotion experienced by
a soul saved in heaven." Interment
was made in Oak Hill cemetery.
