Mr. and Mrs. William Murdoch have announced the engagement of their daughter, Mabel Marie, to Mr. James Madison DeLezene, the marriage to take place at the family residence on Thursday, December 26. The little five-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Ahl, while at play in the barnyard with his pet dog, fell and broke his left fore arm last Saturday. A local physician was called and set the broken member without difficulty and the little fellow is now getting along nicely. Little Theodore Stander carried off the belt as "being the first boy in t.OWn to meet with an accident while coasting this seasou. Wednesday morning he was coming down the hill in front of C. A. Richey's residence when the sled flew the track and landed him against a fence post. An ugly gash on his fore head which took several stitches by the family physician was the result. J. A. Ellers, of Dunbar, took charge of the Speaker Hotel Monday. Mr. Eller is an experienced hotel man and will have the interior of the hotel thoroughly renovated and put in first- i class condition.

His advertisement will appear in the Courier with the first is- sue of the new year. A Real Wonderland. South Dakota, with its rich silver mines, bonanza farms, wide ranges and strange natural formations, is a verit able wonderland. At Mound City, in the home of Mrs. E. D. Clapp, a won derful case of healing has lately occur red. Her son seemed near death with lung ar.d throat trouble. "Exhausting coughing spells occ urred every five min ures," writes Mrs. Clapp, "when I be gan giving Dr. King's New Discovery, the great medicine, that saved his life and completely cured him."

Ray Denson from riattsinouth was a guest of Mrs. Hanson this week. Frank Trotter has returned from Iiurlingtou Junction Springs, and says that he feels completely cured of his rheumatism. Dr. Slattery of Lincoln came in on Sunday morning's train, being called hither to see Mrs. Straub, mother of the Straub boys, living southwest of town in Otoe county. He asked the price of land here, and seemed surprised when he was told $100, but we imagine he changed his mind before he had driven far. Ralph Opp, who went to be assistant at the depot while the regular helper i was absent, followed the Missouri Pa-! cific custom and had a wreck the first thing. Friday morning he had some express on the large truck and put on too much steam and it tipped over. Peter Opp lost three gallons of oysters and a broken truck was the damage done. Mr. Bullock, of the Nehawka Stone company, has been threatening to get out an injunction against Cunningham BeHl from bringing over loaded '"jags" eir boarding house.

James Stander Meets Rev. Jung. While in Texas James Stander visited at the home of Rev. and Mrs. G. Jung, who live near Taylor, Texas, where thev have a trood church and a German school. He reports them well and get ting along nicely, but not particularly pleased with the south and still have a warm place in their hearts for all their old friends in and around Louisville. They have a good home in a country where the soil is very productive, but in met weather the mud interfers with all farm work, many of the farmers being unable to get into the fields to gather their corn, nor can they haul it to mar ket for the condition of the roads, but better times are coming and the people have plenty, so there is no suffering. Many of Mr. Jung's neighbor's went to Texas direct from Germany and Rev. Jung finds his hands full in instructing them in the ways of the United States, which he appears to be doing very ac ceptably. To all Rev. and Mrs. Jung send their best wishes, and especially to the people with whom they lived for so long. Louisville Courier. Badly Mixed Up. Abraham Brown, of Winterton, N. Y.. had a' very remarkable experience; he says: "Doctors got badly mixed up over me; one said heart disease; two called it kidney trouble; the fourth, blood poison, and the fifth stomach and liver trouble; but none of them helped me; so my wife advised trying Electric Bitters, which are restoring me to per fect health. One bottle did me more good than all the five doctors prescrib ed." Guaranteed to cure blood poison, weakness and all stomach, liver and kid ney complaints, sold by F. G. Frick & Co., druggists, 50c. Malt Extract Not an Intoxicant. Just because beer which is made from malt is judiciously recognized as being an intoxicant is no ground for a judge assuming that malt extract con tains the same enlivening properties. That is what the supreme court says in the case of John A. Luther, a Harlan county druggist, who was fined in the court below on the theory that the malt he was selling was intoxicating. The trial judge instructed the jury that the fact that the man offered malt for sale was sufficient to justify a con viction. The supreme judges say that the defendant has a right to prove, if he can, that the fluid he was actually selling under the name of malt extract is harmless. It is all a matter of emphasis anyway, ! says the supreme court. The law makes it an offense for anyone to sell "malt, spirituous and vinuous liquors or any intoxicating drinks," without a license.

Frank Carpenter of Omaha Shoots Himself Fatally Omaha, Neb., Dec. 23. J. Frank Carpenter, secretary of the Carpenter Paper company, in a fit of despondency over ill health, and following a period of seven weeks of acute insomnia, shot himself at his home after supper this evening and died in less than an hour. Mr. Carpenter . was the third of four brothers who have in about twenty years built up a large wholesale paper business in the west. During the past summer and fall he devoted a large amount of time to superintending the construction of a large eight-story ware house for the company and a beautiful residence for himself and wife. This entailed a iarge amount of extra work, and about seven weeks ago his physician ordered him to take a rest. He quit business for a time and in a very few days felt better. Then he went with his wife on a quail hunt in Oklahoma and more recently left on a trip to Wyo ming. He returned from Wyoming a week ago much fatigued from the long rail- j road journey and had been confined to his room since. j Farmer Pollard. Ernest M. Pollard, representative of the First congressional district of No- ; braska, is a member of the agricultural : committee a position whic h it is said he : much coveted. j The Ilerdld is glad. If this very im- ; portant committee means anything, it j means that men with essential quali- j fications should comprise it. Mr. Pol- j lard is not regarded as the strongest member of the Nebraska delegation in j congress, but there are few members I of that body who know more thoroughly' and scientifically what members of the 1 agricultural committee should know than the gentleman from the First. It has been a life study with him. Inasmuch therefore, as Nebraska is not very strong on committee places in the sixtieth congress, the particularly important position assigned to Mr. Fol lard should gratify us all who want to see the best things come to Nebraska and Nebraskans. Fremont Ilerold. AKRON COLORADO And Arrive Home Last Even ing Much f o the Surprise of f he Home Folks. Last evening Newton Will, with his bride of one day, walked in on the folks at home, much to their surprise. The newly married couple were mar ried at Akron, where the former Miss Lena Gilcrest, the milliner of the place, ,and Newton Will both made their home. Mr. Will, with his father and brother, have been interested in the western country for a number of years, and a short time since sold their ranch, and have been disposing of all their interests there, which they had in partnership, although Newton still held a very valuable interest, the one which he has just now claimed. The folks at home, when they saw the new couple coming, were like the father of the 'Prodigal Son," they hustled up a sumptious supper and made merry with. them. Newton and wife will remain at Akron this winter, where Mrs. Will has a millinery store, and after that is disposed of they will de cide as to what they will do for the future. The Journal extends the most sincere congratulation. Will Attend Wedding. Mrs. J. M. Young and daughter, Mrs. Ralph Godwin, departed this morning for Albia, Iowa, where they will be present tomorrow at the wedding of Mrs. Young's youngest sister, Miss Maude Ethel Eastlake and Wm. Peter sen of that place. They will be absent for some three or four days. Cuts His Thumb. T. J. Bates who has just finished building a scenery dock at the Parmele Theatre, which is a great convenience to those who have the matter in charge of unloading the scenery, has had the misfortune to cut his thumb very badly, which will keep him from work for some time. II P Irregularity is bad In every department of life, in meals, in sleeping hours, but especially when it is a question of womanly habit. Not only is it a sign of female disease, but. unless cured, it will cause dangerous troubles, because of the poisons thus allowed to remain in the system.

At Wimie WRITE US A LETTER MISSOURI PACIFIC recOriday j Twelve Freight Cars Were Ditched Near Auburn. j A special from Auburn, under date of December 21, gives the following par ticulars of the wreck that occurred at Howe on Friday afternoon last. "A bad wreck occurred on the Missouri Pacific railway about 2 o'clock yester day afternoon near Howe, the first sta tion south of this place. A special freight which left here shortly before the time the north bound passenger train was due to arrive, was running at a high rate of speed in order to get to the sidetrack at Howe and thereby not delay the passenger. When nearing Howe, a defective rail broke alter the engine had passed over it. Twelve cars, eleven of which were loaded with com pany coal, piled up in the ditch. For tunately the engine had passed over and the waycar remained on the track, con- j sequently no one was hurt. The pas- i senger pulled into Howe and was unable ' to get through and was forced to back ! down to Falls City and use the Burling- ! ton track to Nebraska City. A train of j two waycars and an engine was fitted j up here and conveyed the mail and pas- i sengers to Nebraska City, where they j met the passenger. " j Funerd of John A. Donelan. The funeral of the late John A, Don elan was held from the residence of A. W. White at 2 o'clock this after noon, Rev. Canon Burgess delivering the address. The funeral was made as j quiet as possible on account of the con- J dition of Mrs. Donelan, who is pros- j trated with grief over the loss of her husband. It is all that the heartbroken wife can do to bear up under the loss i she has sustained, and it was feared 1 that she would not stand the strain of a public funeral. A large number of , " ; friends came from Weeping Water on a j special train to attend the funeral, ', Among those present were H. D. 1 Reed, F. A. Reed, J. W. Calvert, A. G. Wellense.ik, S. D. Switzer and wife, j Orlando TeiTt, C. E. Te.Tt, C. W. ; Bish. W. D. Eish, II. J. Davis, Mrs. I J. B. Hungate, E. T. Marshall and wife, V. S. Barnes, J. R. Sherman and wife, E. S. Rexfoid, J. W. Teegarden, Floyd ! Wolcott, II. B. Wolcott, J. W. Wood- ' ford, I. M. Woodford, C. E. Day and ' wife, J. H. Andrus, J. I. Corly and j : wife, S. F. Gerondit. ! 1 John A. Donelan was born in the fall j ! of 1872, and was a few months past 35 ' ' years of age. He grew to manhood in j this city, marrying Miss Edith White, ; j and for a number of years resided at i Weeping Water, where he was engag- j ' ed in the banking business until this i ! last fall, when he sold his interest and ; removed to Lincoln. j While in Weeping Water he was iden- j tified with the business interests of the j city more than any one who has lived ! in the city. Since going to Lincoln his ! health, which has not been the most ro- I bust for a number of years, has troubled j him considerably, having had repeated attacks of appendicitis, until he con cluded to seek relief through an opera tion, with the results as chronicled by this paper. The remains were laid to rest in Oak j Hill cemetery. Kicked By Horse. This morning at the home of Charles j Jean, three miles southwest of this city, j Chas. Barnerd had a horse fall on him j and dislocate his left shoulder, and stepping on his head and face with the j sharp calks, cutting great gashes in his i forehead and face. Mr. Barnard is in j the employ of Will Jean, who lives just i south of where the accident happened, ' and they were butchering at he home j of his father. There were engaged at ! the butchering three families Chas. j Jean, Frank Jean and Will Jean and ! had finished the hogs and were just j beginning on some cattle, and were J ready for a steer, which was at the ! place of Will Jean. Mr. Barnard was '. sent after the animal, and straddling , his own horse which he kept for driving and had been recently sharp shod. Starting down the road the horse, which over-reached, caught the shoe of its fore foot with its hinder one, locking them together and throwing the horse with Mr. Barnard under the animal, dislocating the left shoulder, and in arising stepping on the face of Charlie, as above stated. Dr. J. S. Livingston dressed the wounds and reduced the dislocation. While in a great deal of pain he feels thankful that the accident had no worse termination.

Women Who It is astonishiii; how great a change a few years of married life often make in the appearance and disposition of man' women. The freshness, the charm, the brilliance vanish like the bloom from a flower which is rudely handled. The matron is only a dim shadow, a faint echo of the charming maiden. Few young women appreciate the shock of the system through the change which comes with marriage and motherhood. Many neglect to de al with the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak nesses wincn too otten come with mar riage and motherhood, not understand ing that this secret drain is robbing the cheek of its freshness and the form of its fairness As surely as the general health suffers when there is derangement of the health of the delicate womanly organs, so surely when these organs are established in health the face and form at once witness to the fact in renewed comeliness. More than a million women have found health and happiness in the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It makes weak women strong and sick women well. Ingredients on label contains no alcohol or harmful habit-forming drugs. It is made wholly of those native, American, medicinal roots most highly recommended by leading med ical authorities of all the several schools of practice for the cure of woman's peculiar ailments. For nursing mothers, or for those broken-down in health by too frequent bearing of children, also for the expect ant mothers, to prepare the system for the coming of baby and make its ad vent easy and almost painless, there is no medicine quite so good as "Favorite Prescription." It can do no barm in any condition of the system. It is a most potent invigorating tonic and strengthening nervine, nicely adapted to woman's delicate system "by a phy sician of large experience in the treat ment of woman's peculiar ailments. Bad Symptoms.

The Improved Order of Red Men have been making some great exertions for the past month for an increased membership, which has been meeting with great success, they have repeat edly taken in a large class of members, and have been having a steady growth. Last evening they had degrees, mak ing them all "Big Indians." Those to take the degrees were Thomas Walling, Emil Walters, Adolph Wesch, A. G. Bach, Walter Gochenour, Perry Utter bach, W. Kruger, Chas. Richards, H. ! G. Batton, John Corey, Henry Grennil, i A. P. Barnes, Ted Scarborough, John J Hiber and Antone Kobeck. The team and other members from South Omaha ; came down last evening and assisted in conferring the degrees. Those to assist from that place, and to break i bread with them in the refreshments which were served, were F. II. Wheat worth, W. F. Williams, W. Turner, John Ivian, Chas. Ireland, Joseph Pryle, G.

In any condition of the female system Dr Pierce's Favorite Prescription can" do onlv 'good never harm. Its wliole effect is to strengthen, invigorate and regulate the whole female system and especially the pelvic organs. When these are deranged in fu net ion or affect ed by disease, the stomach and other organs of digestion become sympatheti cally deranged, the nerves are weak ened, and a long list of bad, unpleasant symptoms follow. Too much must not be expected of the " Favorite Prescrip tion." It will not perform miracles; w ill not cure tumors no medicine will. It will often jrevent them, if taken in time, and thus the operating table and the surgeon's knife may be avoided. Doctor's All Agree. The most emi nent writers on Materia Aledica, whose works are consulted as authorities by physicians of all the different schools of practice, extol, in the most positive terms, the curative virtues of each and every ingredient entering into Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. In fact it is the only medicine, put up for sale through druggists for the cure of all diseases of the mucous surfaces, as nasal catarrh, throat, laryngeal, and bronchial affections attended by linger ing, or hang-on-coughs that has any such professional endorsement worth more than any amount of lay or non professional testimonials. Do not expect too much from the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery. It will not work miracles. It will not cure consumption in its ad vanced stages. No medicine will.
