He did not remain long In vigorous at that time despite the weight of years which has rested upofl tia Bhoulders.

In his life- j havlnS commenced the practice of time deceased was a most popular man. He was kindly and most genial. One of his great characteristics was a large-hearted ness which could not but warm everyone to him. Through out his nature there ran a vein of humor which made him a most pleas ant companion and one whose op timistic nature cheered all with whom he met. There are many stories told of this inimitable character of early Nebraska life. He had lived in the state when there were hardships to be endured yet their presece was only an additional Inducement for the de velopment of a vein of natural humor which saw the bright side of the hard est problem. Mr. Smith was a successful man aa things are Judged In this world. His thrift inherited largely from his Yan kee ancestors, had resulted In the ac cumulation of much property which hla business Judgment and acumen enabled him to reap the advaiuage of many golden opportunities. et with al, few men have lived among a peo ple so long and had so many business dealings with them and still retained the high standing for commercial ln tergrity and uprightness which he -IT'S YOUR OWN- F&ULT if you haven't taken advantage of our season end "cleanup."

In the fall of 1869, Mr. Smith en tered the service of the Burlington railroad as a member of its engineer ing corps and for many years he fol olwed this line of work, being Identi fied in a great measure with the town sites which now dot that system throughout the west. His many abili ties In hla profession were quickly recognized by the men in charge of the Burlington system and appreciat ed and as a special mark of their appreciation a town Ansclmo was named In his honor. One of the larg est pieceB of work which fell to his lot whs the planting of the city of Lincoln, which he did In the year 1867, the work being done for the new State of Nebraska.

JOHN BAUER. i 1 Patent Applied for . mat: New York Medical Authorities Claim Dyspepsia to be a Pre Disposing Cause of Consumption. The post mortem statistics of the big New 'York hospitals show that some cases of consumption are due, at least indirectly, to unchecked dyspep sia, especially when the victim was predisposed to tuberculosis. Dyspepsia wears out the body and brain. The weakened, irritable stom ach being unable to digest food, the body does not receive the required nourishment, and the victim becomes thin, weak and haggard. As a result, the body becomes a fertile field In which the germs of disease may lodge and flourish. Therefore, the person who permits dyspepsia to progress unhindered is guilty of contributing toward the de- In -sickness, if a certain hidden nerve goes wrong, then the organ that this nerve controls will also sure ly fail.. It may be a Stomach nerve, or It may have given strength an1 support to the Heart or Kidneys. It was Dr. Shoop that first pointed to this vital truth. Dr. Snoop's Restorat ive was not made to dose the Stomach or Kidneys. That old-fashion method ivelpoment of one of the most insld is all wrong.

This land lies In one of the richest parts of Cass county and the price at which it sold Is considered remarkably cheap. It lies between Murdock and Greenwood and Is in the richest and most fer tilo part of the county. Th8 other deal Is the sale of the farm of William Volk near Louis ville to Thos. E. Parmele. This is one of the finest farms In the county and brought the princely price of $150 per acre or a total of $24,000 for the quarter section.
