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.

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.

Pacific Junction in 1903. 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

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.

Women Who
It is astonishing how great a change
a few years of married life often make
in the appearance and disposition of
many women. 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. 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 notent 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.
