"I have found a cure for the misery malaria jois-on produces, " says Ii. M. James, of Ixniellen, S. C. '"It's called Electric Bitters, and comes in 50 cent !ottles. It breaks up a case of chills or a bilious attack in almost no time; and it puts yellow jaundice clean out of commission."

Mr. Potts expects to move to Texas soon, where he has purchased land. Mrs. Herzberg was called over near Greenwood Wednesday morning, where she found a new pair of twin grandchil dren waiting to greet her. The new arrivals belong to Mr. and Mrs. Eiker man. A little girl barely two years old, was beaten shamefully by her enraged step father, all because she would not mind. If the sympathizing pulse of the Leader Echo beats in unison with public senti ment, our fears are not great when we announce our utter hatred of such a brute. The foul act was committed one day last week. Complaint was filed with Justice McCaig, who after giving the guilty one a sound lecture, and with the permission of the complaining wit nesses, released him with his promise and the understanding that he would never lay angry hands on the little child again. He was also advised that this complaint was still in force and a like offense would subject him to more stringent enforcement of the law. The good people of Elmwood will not per mit any such low down, mean and con temptible doings as the heartrending sight that has come to the observation of some of our citizens. Bad Stomach Trouble Cured. Having been sick for the past two years with a bad stomach stomach trou ble, a friend gave me a dose of Cham berlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets.

He came down from Bethany and will visit with his brothers until after the holi days. Dr. Wilcox removed a tumor from the hip of Mrs. Jacob Wessel last Sat urday that has been troubling her for years. The operation was a success and she is improving very rapidly. Governor Sheldon came down Tues day evening and in company with the family of F. P., spent Christmas day with their sister, Mrs. B. Wolph at her home in the country. We have heard it hinted that the first of the year may see the merry-go-round train put back again. There has been a big decrease in the passenger receipts since it was taken off. Mrs. Curtis Greenlee of Fremont, who is an old pioneer in Cass county, hav ing lived here in an early day, came down to spend Christmas with her sis ter, Mrs. H. August, who is here on a visit. Mr. and Mrs. W. II . Porter and Letha went to York to spend the holi days with the family of Walt Pittman and to see Grandma. Will came back today but Mrs. Porter will remain for some time. It is reported that an old pioneer in this county whose wife has been dead for a couple of years has taken unto himself a wife near where his son lives in Kansas. He is long past the sixties and the bride we understand is 18. We are unable to verify the rumor, so we withhold the names. Wolves in the vicinity of Hugh War den's had a feast for the holidays. They took thirteen fine Pekin ducks that Miss Nannie had raised with the expectation of having a new feather bed. There is a lady and two boys at least in that family who are heartily in favor of the bounty on wild animals. A Former Cass County Man. Hugh Ramsey and his attorney, O. B. Polk, departed this morning for Sioux City, where they are looking aftee some business matters. Mr. Ramsey is a nephew of B. S. Ramsey of this city and a son of the late John Ramsey, formerly living in Eight Mile Grove near Glendale school, where he settled in 1S58. Hugh, his son, has made his residence in Colorado for the past 27 years, where he is extensively engaged in contracting for and con structing irrigating canals. Mr. Ramsey has a large ranch about 45 miles from Loveland, Colorada, where he makes his home. ! It fills the arteries with rich, red ! blood, makes new flesh, and healthy men, women and children. Nothing can take its place; no remedy has done so much good as Hollister's Rocky Mountain Tea. 35c, Tea or Tablets. Gering & Co. THERE WAS HO Lion in the way But the Apprehension cf the People The Hew Law in Regard to the Col Were Aroused from Other Sources. j lection of Back Taxes Works The people around Fremont have been ! having troubles for some time past. j with the report that a lion and whelp ! had escaped from a carnival company j which was traveling in the country last j summer and was lurking around the vicinity of that otherwise peacelul town, seeking whom they might devour, Many of the citizens at Fremont have gotten along with less sleep than na ture demands, on account of the rumor, while others have added many a streak of gray to their hair, in deadly fear that at some unearthly hour they would awake to see a lion looking in at their chamber window or having its claws tearing their flesh. Not long since a party of Fremonters were out in the woods along the Burlington track and were startled, by hearing what they supposed was a wild beast, howling. With blanched faces, they started to run for the town along the railroad track, but had not proceeded far when they thought they were about to be overtaken, and looking back, discovered that the object pursuing them was the Plattsmouth-Sioux City fast freight, pulled by II. C. Hurt, otherwise known as "Red Hurt," and that the unearthly schreeching was nothing but the whistle of his engine. "Red" is an expert on an engine whistle and can tune one to perfection, and those who are in author ity to know, can distinguish in the blasts that come from his whistle, "Old Lang Syne"or Johnnie Get Your Gun," as easily as falling off a log.

THE BRANTNER DAMAGE CASE ! j Matter j j i Lawyers in a Wrangle Over of Attorney's Fees. Although there was no court in ses-j Mr. Smith took advantage of the holi sion at Glenwood Saturday there was i day recess of the legislature to visit his certainly something doing among a j sister's family and many other old and bunch of lawyers that day at the office j new friends in Cass county, of Clerk Davis.

Against this judgment two liens for attorneys fees had been filed, one by Genung & Genung and the other by Gilliland & Logan. The claim of Gilliland & Logan was for $1350 for work in the Brantner case. The other claim was a joint one of the two Glenwood law firms for services in the Wm. Webb bridge case for $150. This latter sum was a personal claim against Attorney Matt Gering of Platts mouth. Gering was pretty mad when he ar rived in Glenwood Saturday. He was accompanied by Brantner and they came across the river to carry home with them Jim Hill's gold. The Webb case was an old score between the law yers in question. It was settled after some heated remarks, Gering not seri ously disputing the claim. The principal trouble was over the claim of Gilliland & Logan for $1350. Gering asserted the contract with them was for $200. The way the matter now stands, is that Clerk Davis is holding a check for $1200. He is waiting for an order or decision of court to say where it shall go, Gering serving notice on Mr. Davis not to pay the money to the Glenwood Arm. It is said that Gering received as his fees one-third of the judgment. In this connection it should be stated that a claim of $45 for costs on the part of Mills county has gone glimmering. There should have been a bond for costs put up by the parties in the suit. Glen wood Tribune. John "What kind of tea do you like best?" Priscilla "Go-tees, some, but Rocky Mountain Tea best."

Pure and harmless, does the greatest good. 35c, Tea or Tablets. Gering & Co. jDOLLEGTION OF i back taxes Many people, no doubt, who have allowed their taxes to run from year to vear without makinir an effort to meet ,' them, seemingly caring little whether they were paid or not, will wake up within the next few days to the fact that they will have to pay the back per- j sonal tax, surrender the ownership of the property on which the tax was levied, or show that they are paupers, and are object of charity, and ones whom the county should support. The county treasurer is charged with all these taxes, and he must return the money for them as per their collection, the property on which the taxes were levied, or good evidence that the per son is a subject for the support of the county. Heretofore the matter of the payment has dragged along, but as the time that Treasurer Wheeler has to serve is now short, he expects to make good use of it, and those who are back with personal taxes, whether friend or foe, may look for a visit from the sheriff, for it is a matter of the ac counting for the taxes which is owed by the individual, which the treasurer is held, and it would be impossible for him to put up for anyone, even if he were disposed to do so. Those owing taxes will do well to get a hustle on themselves, as it will save costs, publicity and being placed in an unenvi able situation. A Former Pioneer Citizen. ! Hon. Howell Smith, of Custer county, j Oklahoma, is in the city, the guest of i his brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and i Mrs. Ivan S. White. Mr. Smith for many years was a resident of Fremont county, la., and was well known to many pioneer settlers of Cass county, particularly those residing in the vicini- ty of Rock Bluffs. About fifteen years j ago he located in Oklahoma, where he j has since resided and where he became : a large land owner and is at present en- j ; gaged in the hardware business. ', He was elected on the democratic , ticket a member of the Oklahoma house j lot representatives Irom Luster county, a strong republican county, and only a few clays ago had the honor of voting for the election of Oklahoma's first United States Senators, one of whom is Senator Gore, the now famous blind United States Senator. - ' " "fc . j ing off thousands of hogs in the vicinity Qf Ru N(?b j instance m of a f j- , 0 cl. a snort time.

Frank Morton of the Clarinda Poul try company, accompanied by his wife, came yesterday to receive poultry at this place, and will also receive today. Yesterday they got about 4,500 pounds. The fowls averaged about five pounds each, making thirty coops of thirty fowls each, aggregating 900 chickens. They expect to receive as many today or nearly 2,000 in all. With the shipping of these fowls by this single company which amounts in a year to from $12,000 o $15,000, and other avenues through which the pro ducts from the poultry yard find their way to market, justifies the belief that there is marketed from this place more than $30,000 worth annually of these products. The stuff bought yesterday - Mrs. Roy Cline Sick. Mrs. Roy Cline went to Omaha some time since, where she secured employ ment in the Yeast Works at that place, and has since been emploj-ed there. A short time since she was taken sick with a very severe cold, which termi nated in a case of the grippe, making her case a rather severe one. The people where she has been stopping, telephoned to her father, S. D. Smith, of her sickness. He' departed this morning for Omaha. f 1 MUCH FAMlfTWl IN THE FINEST CLIMATE IN AMERICA 50,000 acres now being offered by The United Land Co., at button price.

The freshness, the charm, the brilliance vanish like the bloom from a (lower 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 deal with the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak nesses which too often 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.
