MARRIED AT
SHERIDAN
One of Plattsmouih's Fairest
Daughters Weds in the
Great Northwest.
From the Sheridan Post we clip the
following: "Thursday at 3 o'clock, p.
. ...a r j 1 . A. i. 1
m.t by Kicnara wnucnouse ai me
Episcopal rectory, Mr.Wm. C. Ford and
Miss Marguerite E. Walters, both of
Gillette, Wyoming, were united in mar
riage. They will reside in Thermopolis,
Wyoming, where Mr. Ford will engage
in the banking business."
The bride is a daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Emil Walters, of this city and has
been making her home for the past
year with her sister, Mrs. Ray Tarrant,
of Gillette, where she became ac
quainted with her husband. Mr. Ford
has long been a resident of Gillette, and
is the son of Mr. C. W. Ford, who is
owner of the bank at Thermopolis, of
which Wm. C. Ford is the manager.
The newly married couple will make
their home at Thermopolis. The
Journal joins with the many friends of j
the bride at this place in wishing the
young people much joy in their new
estate, and that their troubles may be
few.
Will Operate Upon Foot.
Little Fred Mittlemeyer, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Louis Mittlemeyer who has
been having trouble with one of his feet
near the ankle, was taken to the Em
manuel hospital at Omaha yesterday,
by his parents, where an operation will
be made upon his foot, for tubercolosis
of the bone, by Dr. Davis, of that insti
tution. The little fellow has been
troubled with the ailment for some time,
everything being done that could with
out the operation. As a last resort,
this is being clone in order to save the
foot and restore him to health again.
The operation is to be performed today,
and it is hoped that it will prove success
ful. A similar operation was a short
time since performed upon John Halmes,
son of Peter Halmes, at a sanitarium
in Lincoln, and who is recovering nicely
at last reports.
But Finds Friends and a Good
Home a! the End
Uertie Kyle, a youth of 11 years, who
had lost both father and mother, and
has been making his home with a
grandmother in Raton, New Mexico,
since the father's death five years ago,
made the trip to this city, arriving last
evening on the Uurlington. Master
Bertie stepped off the train here with
out a friend or an acquaintance to meet
him.
As the train pulled out and a crowd
of utter strangers were the only ones
he could see, with the unfriendly river
filled with floating ice, and the cold
brown bluff frowning down upon him,
it seemed to this young man that he
had not a friend left, and notwithstand
he had braved the trip in order to find
a home here, the tears welled up in the
eyes of the little hero, as he viewed the
place of his destination, without a
friendly word of greeting or a smile
from anyone.
As he looked for some familiar face,
or someone to recognize him, he was
observed by O. C. Dovey, who soon
made friends with him and ascertained
his destination, his wishes and his story
Master Bert told the story of his life,
of losing both father and mother, and
of his home with his grandmother. He
told of his father's having been an en
gineer on the Cotton Belt railway, and
a member of the Masonic lodge of this
state, and of his coming here to make
his home at the institution which that
order has provided at this place. Mr.
Dovey who is a member of the order
kindly saw to the little fellow's wants
and conducted him to the home. How
the smile of reassurance sprang to the
little chap's face and a glad light shone
in his eyes, when he had found a
friend.
To have seen this incident and the
pleasure it gave both Mr. Dovey to
assist and the little traveler to receive
with gratitude the proffered help, was
more argument in favor of the order
than ten men could offer against it in
a week.
LETTERS TO
SANTA GLAUS
As-
Postmaster General Mayer Will
sume Liberal Attitude.
Washington, Dec. 14. In past years
many communications have been re
ceived by the postoffice department, re
questiag delivery of so-called "Santa
Claus letters" to philanthropic societies
and others in various parts of the coun
try, but the requests have always been
denied, the department taking he stand
that letters of importance would be
classed with Santa Claus letters through
error; that it would be exposing to pri
vate parties confidential correspondence;
that the letters might contain valuable
enclosures, and that such a practic
would not be in keeping with the prin
ciple of the sanctity of the mails.
Now, however, Postmaster General
Mayer has adopted a more liberal atti
tude toward the children, as indicated
by his action to day in issuing an order
to postmasters all over the country (to
whom letters full of trust and pleading
are coming in such numbers from the
little ones to let the people of their
cities know throughthe5newspapers that
mail addressed to Santa Claus will be
delivered to any responsible parties who
will undertake to act as Santa Claus'
agents in the matter. The order fol
lows: "Ordered that hereafter and until the
close of the first day of January, 1908,
postmasters are directed to deliver all
letters arriving at their respective post
offices addressed plainly and unmistaka
bly to 'Santa Claus' without any other
terms of expression identifying the per
son for whom such letters are intended,
to any regularly organized charitable
society in the city or town of address,
to be used exclusively for charitable
purposes. In event that claim should
be made by more than one such society
for letters so addressed, such letters
will be equally divided, according to
number, between or among the socie
ties making such claim."
As it was found that the name "Kris
Kringle" appears in various city direc
tories, it was decided, in order to avoid
confusion and loss of letters intended
for persons of that name, that the new
regelation should apply only to Santa
Claus, who appears to have no namesake.

Accident at Louisville.
Yesterday at Louisville happened one
of those freaks in the world of accident
which it is difficult to account for, but
is never-the-less stranger than the
work of fiction.
John Thomas, a prosperous farmer,
came to Louisville, and having some
business to look after at the Burlington
station, drove down to the depot and
tied his team, a rather fractious pair,
to the guy pole of the telegraph line,
fastening them secmely.
His wife remained seated in the
wagon awaiting his return. Along came
a Burlington freight train going cast,
at which the horses became frightened,
and as the train was not going very
fast was brought to a standstill a short
distance beyond where the team had
been tied. The team uprooted the guy
pole when they became frightened and
making a break for liberty had pulled
across the track with the pole and guy
wire, but not far enough to clear the
rear portion of the wagon.
The engine struck the wagon amid
ships and completely demolished it.
The strangest part of the occurrence
now happened, for Mrs. Thomas,
who was sitting in the wagon when the
engine struck, was transferred to the
pilot of the engine, still sitting com
fortably in the spring seat, though con
siderably frightened. That such an
accident could have happened is beyond
the credence of any one who has had
any experience with being struck by
an engine in motion, but such are the
facts.
Engineer Fekt, who was doing all in
his power to stop the engine in order to
save the unfortunate lady, did not re
ceive such good treatment at the hand
of fortune. The guy wire which the
horses had carried over the track, came
over the smokestack of the engine and
the bell pulling lose from the guy pole
and dragging along the side of the en
gine, inflicted a severe gash in the face
of the engineer just under his eye,
which barely missed taking the eye out
of its socket. Taking it all in all the
termination of the accident was most
fortunate.
Lew. Ingwerscn Burned Out.
Saturday eveniNg Lew. Ingwerson,
whose wife is visiting at Carleton in
Thayer county, returned home from
Weeping Water, and being cold he
built a big fire in his air-tight heater,
and then went down to the barn to do
his chores. On his return to the house
he felt sure that something was wrong
and in going to the bed room and open
ing the door the whole room burst in
flame. He made hast to save what he
could of his household goods, and
carried about half of them to a safe
place. But all the neighbors being
away it was impossible to save the
house and it was burned to the ground.
It was located about a mile west of
Jim Delesdernies and owned jointly be
tween him and Mr. Ingweroen. There
was insurance on the goods, but none
on the house. They will probably not
rebuild. Nehawka Register.

Catarrh and Deafness.
Mra. K. I. Ijiwjou, Navasota, Tex.,
writes :
"It Is with great pleasure that I write
to tell you that my little daughter Is
entirely cured of catarrh and deafness
and ia in bettor health than she has been
for the past two years. I'eruna is truly
a great medicine and I cannot nay too
much in praise of it. Ithasdone for n.y
little girl whatdoctors have failed to do.
Khe has taken not quite three bottles."
IF the practical women of the world
who use family medicines, were
asked which is the most reliable family
medicine in use today, a great majority
of them would reply, without hesita
tion, Peruna.
Peruna is especially praised by the
women because they have abundant op
portunity to note its prompt effects in
relieving the various ills to which the
family is liable.
Coughs, colds, indigestion, colic, kid
ney and bladder trouble, nervous weak
ness, loss of appetite, irregular circula
tion all these and many other ailments
dependent upon tho exifrencief of cli
mate are promptly relieved by I'eruna.
IVruna has been prescribed for the
family by 1r. 1 1 art man for over forty
years. It lias become a standard ined
l in--! throughout t ! i j greater part of
the civilized world.
Weak Lungs and Catarrh.
Miss Hculah It. Itroome, 4W I'.Mli Kt
N. K., Washington, I. V.., writes:
"I haveKuffered from weak lung ami.
catarrhal troubles for four yr
brought on by many neglected colds,
but on tho recommendation of a friend
I gave Peruna an honest trial and I am
pleased to slate Hint It restored me tn
perfect health. There is not the slight
est trace of catarrh in my pystein ami
my Jungs are perfectly sound. I un
hesitatingly give this testimonial.''
Catarrh of the Worst Torm.
Mrs. Amanda Long, 7:17 Seeley Ave.,
Chicago, 111., writes :
'I believe that I am cured of catarrh
of the worst form and of long standing.
I was almost a total wreck. 1 tried al
most every thing, and doctored with a
number of doctors, but they did mo no
good. I tried Peruna us a last resort,,
and by the time I had taken one txttl
I could nee that it was helping me, ho I
continued taking it. I can now Hay I
have not felt the slightest symptoms
for three months, and 1 think th'-iei
nothing like I'eruna. I cannot iraise
it too highly."
Headache and Neuralgia.
Mrs. M. Kliner,,JH K. :X street, S. K.t
Cleveland, Ohio, writes:
"I srn enjoying good ix-allli since I
have taken your ir.-'dicine. I had suf
fered f-r a good many years previous to
takiii'-r Periina, arid ever since I can nay
; I do not know what lic;idic.u or hat

When to Go Home.
From the BlufTton, Ind,, Banner:
When tired out go home. When you
want consolation, go home. When you
want fun, go home. When you want
to show others that you have reformed
go home and let your family get ac
quainted with the fact. When sou want
ta show yourself at your best go home
and do the act there. When you feel
like being extra liberal go home and
practice on your wife and children first.
When you want to shine with extra
brilliancy go home and light up the
whole household." To which would
add when you have a bad cold go home
and take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
and a quick cure is certain. For sale

Nature Faker in Nehawka.
Ir. Julian A. Pollard, while appre
ciating the fact that he is liable to be
called a "faker," tells us this story:
He says that he has forty chickens that
he has taught to eat at all times, day
or night. He can go where they are
any time after dark, throw down some
corn, and the chickens will jump down
from the roost, eat the corn, and then
like proper fowls go to bed again im
mediately. They were taught to do
this hy being fed at six every evening,
and as six o'clock now comes after
dark, when they hear the rattle of corn
on the ground they go "after" it. .Any
one who doubts this story will be shown
if they call at the doctor's any time
after dark. Nehawka Register.
A Case of Scarletina.
Vance Todd, who is spending the
winter with his grandmother and at
tending school here, became sick in the
school room last week, and a few days !
later it developed that he had scarletina.
He has now passed the dangerous stage ,
of this illness and is getting along very
nicely. Dr. McLeod informed us that
he notified the town board of the case
last Saturday morning and that quaran
tine was established Monday afternoon.
but notwithstanding that delay, it is
said that no persons have been exposed
to the disease, and it is thought there
will be no other cases of it here. The
supposition is that the young man con
tracted the ailment while at a social in
in the vicinity of Murray, at least that i
is the information given to the Ledger
reporter. Union Ledger.

Danger in Asking Advioe.
When you have a cough or cold d
not ask someone what is good for it, as
there is danger in taking some un
