While in Murray yesterday a Journal reporter visited the new cottage that Glen Boedeker, the genial cashier of the Murray State bank, is to occupy for a home in the neai future. We can say, without fear of successful contra diction, that it will prove one of the most convenient residences in this sec tion of Cass cour.ty. The flooring is of hard pine and the finish is as smooth as glass. The rooms are all connected with folding doors and heated by a furnace. The painting inside and out is tastily finished, the outside being of a dark brown color with white trimmings. The inside is the same as the floors a hardwood finish. The house when finished will be one of the most modern in this sec tion, equipped with bathroom, etc. The painting was done by Andy P. Campbell, the plastering by John Kin ser, and the wood work by Tom Isner, all Plattsmouth mechanics, and to say that their work is neat in every partic ular but half expresses it. And espec ially does the painting need more than passing notice, as it is one of the neat jobs of work we have ever seen in Cass county. Everyone who has seen the work commends it for its neatness in workmanship. Plcasan! Surprise Parly.

Last Sunday all that was mortal of Jakie Beckman was deposited in the grave at the Horning cemetery amid the sorrowing tears of a multitude of friends. The funeral took place from the home some four miles south, the body being taken to the United Breth ren church where Rev. Brink preached a sermon which told in simple language the many virtues this model young man had. In his life he had exemplified the glories of a pure, spotless life and the shining example which he had set, fur nished the minister with a noble ex ample for the young men of his congre gation to emulate. Born less than twenty-three years ago, to be exact upon October 30, 1885, the young man had always lived in this community where his whole life was an open book, where there was none to call the attention of ;he world to one single bad spot in his entire life. In its purity it was as that of the innocent babe. In one way nature had been un kind to him. Where many had enjoyed strong, lusty bodies and health never troubled by sickness he had been the victim of a sickly r. ..ure which wore out his young life all too soon. At the church in addition to the beautiful sermon, the choir sang sev eral selections being led by Chas. Jean while Miss Props t accompanied with the organ. The pall hearers were all old friends of Jakie, those who had been raised he side hirn and who loved him in his life. They were Will Plumb, Joe Wheeler, Frank Reed. Guy Stokes, Everett Wiles and Will Wiles. " At the cemetery the body was placed in repose beside that of his sainted mother who had crossed the great divide jus- eight weeks before and upon the heavenly shore these two souls, sepa rated by so brief a space are now once more united. Card of Thanks. To the many kind friends who sought to sooth our sorrow in the loss of our son and brother, Jakie Beckman, we tender our most sincere thanks, realiz ing that they, as we, felt his loss deeply. Ben Beckman, John Beckman, Mrs. Fannie Augustin, Mrs. Anna Lindner. Parental Example. Nothing has a more pronounced in fluence on the children than the paren tal example. They always try to imi tate the parents in everything and this fact shonld always be borne in mind. The child will soon notice that, in case of sickness, the parents are treating it at the very start and that they never neglect it. This will become a habit with the child. It will learn how to treat the first symptoms. What are they usually? Loss of appetite and of strength. And what is the remedy? Triner's American Elixir of Bitter Wine. It will restore the organs of digestion to their natural activity, will make the blood pure and the body strong. It not only is useful during the first symptoms, but in all phases of diseases of the digestive system. You can use it whenever you do not feel well. At drugstores. Jos.
