COPPER THIEVES
AT WORK AGAIN
Booty Found Hidden in End of Sewer
by Citizens Who Notify Company,
Who Recover Stolen Goods.
Tnis morning while coming to town
James McKinney and Nelson Jones ob
served something sticking in the end of
the sewer, near the junction of Third
street and Lincoln avenue, and getting
out of their wagon to examine it, found
it to be copper, a portion of a consign
ment which the Burlington railway
company had just received from the
east. They immediately notified Mas
ter Mechanic H. J. Helps and Store
keeper Joselyn, who, with some work
men accompanied by the parties
who found the stolen property, wnt
and removed the same to the shops.
The copper had not been missed and
had it not been discovered, would have
been taken away when night came
again in all probability, if the parties
has not been frightened away from it
before. The coppers are sixteen pounds
in weight and were seventeen in num
ber, making two hundred and seventy
two pounds. At the price of twenty
cents per pound, as that is the price of
it in that shape, makes the amount of
the stolen property $54.40.
Parts With His Cash
Clarence Ford of Carlinville, 111.,
arrived here Thursday morning and will
work for his uncle George Ford. Mr.
Ford had an experience in coming out
here that he will not soon forget. This
was his first trip away from home and
he had a little money, which he un
thoughtedly exhibited on the train, and
some of the lightfingered gentry got
$50 of it. Then he bought a book from
a train newsboy, giving him a $10 bill
from which to make the change. This
class of fellows are noted short change
artists, and in the hands of this fellow
it only proved a $1 bill. He is sixty
short but a much wiser fellow. It al
ways pays while traveling to keep your
money out of sight and to make your
own change. Nehawka Register.

WAS A HOTLY
CONTESTED GAME
The Lovers of Basket Ball Were
Treated to a Fine Game Last
Evening at Coates' Hall.
With a deterimination that they would
play basket ball as it should be played,
and win out in the end, the Nebraska
City High school team came up last
evening. When the game opened they
demonstrated that their belief in good
playing was what they were relying up
on for victory. In the first half the
home team was out-played at almost
every point. In the second half the
home team demonstrated their ability
by some remarkably fast work, and
met the boys from down the river at
every point, and many and exciting
were the plays which fairly made the
onlookers howl with delight. The star
player of the game was Clarence Beal,
whose work was fine. The game from
the beginning to the time when the last
pass had been made was one well worth
looking at and while the visitors carried
off the victory, the home team can well
be satisfied with the game put up. The
score was Nebraska City, 32; Platts
mouth, 24.
Mr. and Mrs. P. E. Ruffner Return

fner returned form Omaha where they

has improved enough that she retnrned
with her parents for a visit.
RAILROADS WIN
IN CONTEST
In the Discussion Yesterday
The Private Ownership
Won Out
In the contest held at the high school
building yesterday afternoon to deter
mine who should take part in the inter
high school contest, the ones support
ing the negative were given the honors.
The ones striving for the honors were
Bennie Windham and Mattie Larson
on the affirmative, and Josephine Hall
and Marie Douglas on the negative. All
acquitted themselves very creditably.
In the absence of C. A. Rawls and W.
C. Ramsey, who were detained by
court business, E. II. Wescott was sub
stituted, making the judges only two
instead of three.
The honors easily went to Misses
Hall and Douglas, who have devoted
much time and study to the subject.
They cited many authorities in a con
vincing manner that won the day.
We look for these young ladies to
make a splendid showing in the inter
high school contest which is to take
place in the near future.
We expect our girls to win and have
good reason for the belief.
Our Worst Tyrant.
We hardly notice what a tyrant our
unsatiable desire for too much and too
rich food is. Many assured us that
they tried hard to overcome this desire,
but did not succeed. If this is true, we
have to look for something that would
make our digestive apparatus so strong
that it would easily stand the hard
work without damages. Such a remedy,
that is, such a tonic, is Triner's Ameri
can Elixir of Bitter Wine. Take a dose
of it before each meal, even if you do
not feel real sick, and notice the
strengthening effect it will have on
your body. If you have some difficul
ties after meals like heaviness, eructa
tions, nausea, diarrhoea, or if your ap
petite is not right, if you cannot eat,
although feeling hungry, if your diges
tion is not complete, Triner's American
Elixir of Bitter Wine will cure you.

WholCan Beat This
This freak may be nothing new or
strange to some people, but it is a new
one to the rabbit editor, and lest
some may jump to a conclusion that
this is a "dream" we will state that
the scalp of a six-eared rabbit is at this
office for inspection. The rabbit was
killed Monday morning by Chas. Mc
Kean and Wes Woodard between here
and Nehawka.
The rabbit has all the appearance of
a common "cotton tail" in size and color
about the only difference being the
surplus ears. One pair of ears show
nothing unusual, but on the right side
there are two additional ears behind the
first one, while on the left side the two
"extras" are in front, and the surplus
have no fur covering but are as long as
as the others. Our freak is not as fe
rocious as the famous "dog killer" of
Mt. Pleasant was said to be, but will
bear some closer inspection Union

Says His Record is Not
Organized Labor, Actions Antagonistic
to Vorhingman, But the Close
Friend to the Trusts
Because his record on injunction mat
ters is bad.
Because he is antagonistic to the
workingman.
Because he has shown himself a foe
to organized labor.
Because of his proclivities for trusts.
For these reasons, embodied in a
short resolution, the Central Labor
union of Omaha last night, at its
regular meeting, went on record as being
unalterably opposed to the candidacy of
William H. Taft.
The resolutions were introduced by
Charles McDonald of the carpenters'
union. They were read and immediate
action called for. One or two men made
short talks, a member of the socialist
party desiring to amend the resolution

The resolution was put to a vote,
however, without amendment, and it
passed without a dissenting voice.
President Donahoe of the Central
Labor union, states that the resolution
is simply the crystallization of the
sentiment of organized labor in Omaha.
"The labor unions are opposed to
Taft," says Mr. Donahoe. "This
resolution is the expression of the atti
tude which organized labor in Omaha,
as well as all over the country, will
bear toward Mr. Taft in the campaign.
His record on injunction questions, and
his entire attitude toward organized
labor, is such that no member of a
labor union can consistently support
