would no more be without a bottle than
I would be without food." For nearly j
forty years New Discovery has stood at '

As a preventive of pneumonia, and

ANOTHER OLD
SETTLER GONE
He Passes Away After a Long
Seige of Sickness.
Andrew B. Taylor passed away this
morning at about three o'clock at his
late home in the third ward, after a
lingering illness of many months, ex
tending up almost to a year. Andrew
B. Taylor was born at Red Sulphur
Springs, Monroe county, West Vir
ginia, May 10th, 1829, and at the time
of his death was past 79 years of age.
During his childhood he lived on the
farm of his parents, and worked upon
farms of the neighbors, and after be
coming of age, he moved to Iowa,
settling at Walnut Grove, a small town
near Davenport, and about fifteen miles
from that city. Here he remained
working for various farmers until the
year 1S57, when he came to this county
and for two years worked on farms,
when he purchased a farm west of this
city, the one now owned by C. H. War
ner. Mr. Taylor in 1861 was united in
marriage with Miss Adeline Mur
ray, at Rock Bluffs, and moved upon
the farm west of this place. Of this
union three children were born two
boys, John and William, the former
making his home in Washington, and
the latter in Oklahoma. William has
been with his father for the past three
weeks. For the past three months Mr.
Taylor has been very low all the time
and for a long time he was not ex
pected to live but for a short time. He
has stuck to life even in the face of
very adverse conditions, and the long
time which he has been confined to his
bed has wasted him away until he had
became very much emaciated. During
the whole time he has been a very
patient sufferer. In 1864 Mr. Taylor
was elected sheriff of this county which
office he filled for four years. During
the early days, and even later, he was
one ot the moving spirits which helped
make the country we have today. With
his passing goes one of the history
makers of this country, having lived
here when the times were strenuous
and still until the times which we see
today. Through good and bad report
of the country he has stuck to Platts
mouth, and had a competancy, for the
later years cf his life.
The funeral will be conducted from
the the late residence op Friday after
noon at 2 o'clock, Rev. J. T. Baird
officiating, and will be assisted by Rev.
Salsbury, should he return home in
time. The interment will be made at
Oak Hill cemetery.
Mr. J. Reible, Plattsmouth Neb.,
Dear Sir: Mr. , president
of a cotton-mill at Union, S. C, he
don't want to see his name in print
had two offers of 500 gallons of paint:
$1.30 and $1.25. Took the $1.25 and go
skinned. He'd have get three-qua: ters
skinned if he'd taken the other.
The $1.30 was full gallon; the $1.25
was 18 per cent short. The full-measure
paint was adulterated 40 per cent; the
short-measure paint was adulterated 45
per cent, besides benzine in the oil,
don't know how much.
Devoe lead-and-zink wasn't sold in
the town then.
It don't pay to monkey with paint.
Devoe costs less than any of 'em; not
by the gallon, of course; by the house
and year. That's how to reckon it. Go
by the name. Yours truly
New York, Chicago and Kansas City.

Brings Daughter Home Today.
This afternoon Rev. A. Allen Randall
departed for Omaha, where he went to
bring his daughter, Miss Ina, home from
the hospital, where she has been for
some time past. Miss Ina has been
making very satisfactory progress since
the operation, which was performed
some time since, and while still very far
from complete recovery, she is so far
improved as to be able to return to her
home. This will be received with much
pleasure by her many friends.
A Vicious Squirrel
Mrs. Gottlieb Neumeister lives south
east of Weeping Water, and we learn
of a little scrap she had with a squirrel.
The animal attacted her, bitting her
on the arms, body and face, until her
cries brought her granddaughter. The
squirrel attacked the girl and
then the dog was called and the
squirrel attacked it. If our pets get too
friskey under protection, it will be
neccessary to go armed in self defence.

"How will members of the prese; t
congress explain their cowardice?"asks
the St. Louis Star. They won't explain.
They'll try the same old bluff and "point
with pride."
If there was any way of knowing the
amount of republican boodle sent into
Nebraska in 1004, the sum would be so
large that the $15,000 sent by the dem
ocratic national committee would sink
into insignificance.
Governor Sheldon has promised to
come to Plattsmouth and orate for us
on the Forth of July. The governor
being a product of Cass county and hav
ing lived here the most of his life, every
body will be glad to see him on thatdate.

More complete returns from the Iowa
primaries indicate that Senator Allison
has been nominated for re-election. The
old man is 80 years of age, and does not
intend that any other man shall suc
ceed him in the United States Senate as
long as he is able to waddle.
That $15,000 sent to Nebraska in 1904
by the democratic national committee,
seems to be worrying some of our re
publican contemporaries. But it is not
worrying them half as much as the bil
lion dollar congress will before the Nov
ber election. Mark that.
There are a few republicans left who
believe that a presidential candidate
shows bad taste when he stands on the
steps of a dead president's tomb and
calls him a drunkard. If Mr. Taft
wanted to discuss Ulysses S. Grant's
alleged failings, he should have se
lected some more favorable spot for his
spaech.
The man who would defame the char
acter of as great a so'.dier as General
Grant, and who for two terms was el
ected president of the United State?,
as a tribute to his heroism, should never
receive a vote from the old veterans.
Taft is guilty of this charge at the Grant
monument on Decoration Day in New
York.
Great Record of the Bosses.
Among the doings of the Sixtieth Con
gress to which republican organs are
pointing with pride, there is no em
phatic mention of the more than $1,000,
000,000 of the people's money, measur
ing by weight ninety-two carloads in
gold which congress has voted away in
a season of financial depression a sea
son of hard times and of suffering for
many thousands of honest and indust
rious American workers.

There is a hurrah for the Inland
Waterways commission and another for
the currency commission, but the
fact is not dwelt upon that of the $1,
000, 000, 000 appropriated not a doll ar goes
to the great inland waterway to which
western commerce looks for relief from
freight congestion and heavy freight
charges.
There is profound silence when pub
licity of contributions to campaign funds
ii mentioned. No condolences are even
offered to Secretary Taft upon the fact
that his recommendations for such pub
licity, heartily seconded by Bryan, have
been saddled with an impossible rider
and sent galloping over the recess until
after the election.
The fortitude with which Secretary
Taft and President Roosevelt hear this
disappointment is deserving of profound
sympathy. But this is denied them by
the "practical men" who are to guide
the footsteps of the republican party in
the coming presidential race. Owing to
the perversity of Mr. Taft's wicked
partner?, publicity of the sources
whence comes the money which helps
the party to elect presidents goes over
for four years. The "interests" may
contribute as freely as they please to
the Taft fund and violate no law.
"On the whole the republican party
has reason to be pleased with the work
of the session." Of course it has for
the present at least. The congress has
dodged every issue that promised to
make trouble for the party. Every re
publican member who threatened to
talk indiscreetly in tie interests of his
constituents has been rigidly suppressed,
and the session c'.oses in a happy atmos
phere of unanimity among members of
the majority.
It is a glorioud record for the bosses

have yet to pass upon it.
