When Buying Jewelry
It is better to buy from a reputable dealer whom you
know, and pay him a fair profit than to buy from a ped-
ler or by mail goods at attractive prices, and which may
prove to be worthless. Our line of jewelry contains no
trashy or cheap pieces. We guarantee every article we
sell and our reputation for fair and honest dealing back
it up. A piece of good jewelry is a token of esteem
which is seldom underestimated. A gold watch or ring
is a gift that will serve as a constant reminder for years.

A PIONEER LADY
PASSES AWAY
Mrs. Elizabeth Straub Died in Lincoln
at the Home of Her Son Saturday.
This community was shocked last Sat
urday afternoon when a telegram
reached here announcing the death of
Mrs. Elizabeth Straub,. which occurred
at the home of son, W. E. Straub, in
Lincoln, with whom she had been living
for several months, at the advanced
age of seventy-five years.
Miss Elizabeth Hanlon was born in
Ireland on the 11th day of November,
1833, and came to this country when
quite young. On arriving in America
she made her home at Galena, 111., for
several years, and then removed to the
territory of Nebraska. Here in 1862,
she was united in marriage to Thomas
Straub, when they located upon the
farm which was their home up to the
date of their demise and where they
reared their family, consisting of four
boys and one girl Miss Elizabeth, who
passed away in 1901. The boys, who
are all grown to sturdy manhood, are
among the best men in Otoe and Cass
counties, consist of the following named:
W.E. Straub, president of the Farmers'
Mutual Insurance Company, of Lincolr ;
Max M., Hon. V.. W David and Thos.
H., W. E. being the youngest.
The mother had been ailing for some
time, and it was thought her removal to
Lincoln would greatly benefit her. But
her complicated ailment seemed to be
beyond the skill of the very best medi
cal aid that could be secured. Her age
also seemed to be against her. The re
mains were brought from Lincoln Mon
day evening and taken to the old home
stead in Berlin precinct in Otoe county,
where the funeral occurred Tuesday af
ternoon, in the Catholic church nearby,
of which the good old mother was a de
vout member. Interment was made in
the cemetery in the church yard, the
funeral and services being conducted by
Rev. Father Hahn in charge of the
parish.
The last sad tribute to a noble and
loving mother was attended by a large
concourse of neighbors and friends, who
had known this excellent lady for many
years. The good woman was laid at
rest in the vacant lot left for her be
tween her husband and mother-in-law,
where she will sleep the long sleep that

knows no awakening. The father of
the bereaved family died in 1S91, leav
ing his remaining children all well pro
vided for, and it is needless for The
Journal to remark that all the gentle
men, who will revere the memory of
father and mother for all time to come,
will follow the teachings of their loving
parings, whose pathways through life
lead to honesty of heart and noble char
acteristics that made them among the
best people in Otoe county. The Jour
nal deeply sympathizes with the be
reaved in the loss of a loving mother,
whose pride was her boys she has left
behind. Peace to her ashes.
Those who attended the funeral from
a distance were Thomas Hanlon, of
Omaha, a brother of the deceased, P.
J. Murphy.also of Omaha, Miss Katie
Conner of Council Bluffs, Iowa, Miss
Mary Smith, of St. Louis, Mo., besides
a large number from Nebraska City and
other points. Those attending from
Avoca were Jacob Opp, Mrs. J. H.
Smith and mother, Dr. Brendell, Joe
Zimminer, Louie Dunkak, B. C. Mar
quardt, John Bush, Gus Moore, Gus
Buss and F. A. Schaffer.
Card of Thanks
We desire to return our most sincere
thanks to those kind neighbors and
friends for their valuable assistance
during the funeral of our dear mother.
Their kindness will certainly not be
forgotten by us.

An Old Man's Word
While youth enjoys energy, strength
and vitality, old age must be respected
for experience and conservatism. This
experience is often more valuable than
schooling, it behooves to young men al
ways to consider the advice of old peo
ple. Let us consider what Mr. Julian
Perznski, 1417 Germantownave., Phila
delphia, Pa. says: "I am past 63 years
old and keep myself in good health only
by using from six to eight bottles of
Triner's American Elixir of Bitter Wine
every year. It is a very good tonic
which I conjeonscientiously recommend, '
The old gentleman speaks the truth,
because this remedy is the best tonic in
sll periods of life, where a decline of
bodily strength and vitality is noticed.
It makes the body able to accept
enough nourishment and to build of it
enough pure blood to maintain the nec
essary strength. It cures diseases of
the stomach and bowels, strengthens
the nerves and muscles and gives new
energy and ambition. At drug stores.
