Hlekson, Oak St., Platts mouth, Neb., says: 'i will never cease to praise Doan's Kidney Pills, as they proved of such great benefit to me several years ago. For some time I was caused much suffering by attacks of lumbago that came on without the least warning. The simp lest movement was painful and I was also annoyed by irregular passages of tlfb kidney secretions. I read so much about Doan's Kidney Pills that I finally procured a box from Gering & Co's drug store. I was so gratified with the results of their use that 1 publicly recommended them in 1906 and at this time, I willingly verify that statement.

Woods and James Allo way, two of Louisville's best citizens, were in the city today looking af 'ter business matters. Mr. Vood3 recently returned from an extended trip to the Beaver River valley in Montana where he is interested in a vast tract of land, and for which he has been acting as agent. Mr. Wood was accompanied by a party consisting of Isaac Tennant, Herman Dening, L. J. Mayficld, Charles A. Rlchey of Louisville and Emmons J. Richey of this city. Of this party the Messrs. Rlchey" own 9,600 acres in the velley, Herman Dehning pur chased 640 acres and Isaac Tennant purchased one quarter or 160 acres. The land ranges from $20 to $30 per acre and those who have 'seen it have been amazed at Its productiveness and the great crops which it can produce. Mr. Wood, who has had a lot of experience in the land business, states that he has never seen property which was of the same value with this In all his time. The soil is of the best and is very productive, es pecially in forage plants, although every crop which the middle and east ern states can produce Is grown there. It has an elegant climate superior to that of this section, and while the thermometer drops to a low mark, the dry air makes It fine and bracing. There is a copious amount of rainfall insuring against drouth and, In fact, the conditions are ideal. Mr. Wood will take out another party to see this wonderful land on next Wednes day, Feb. 2, and he guarantees that to see It is to buy and locate. His guarantee is backed up by all who have been on the lands as the writer knows from talk with them. At Lincoln on February 14 th, The Pogram Later. The Journal is in receipt of the following call Issued by the Democra tic central committee for a great mass meeting and dollar banquet at Lin coln on Monday, Feb. 14th. This will be one of the greatest political gath ering In the west and the Democracy should turn out and make it a rous er. The call in full Is appended: To the Democrats of the State of Ne braska. We, the undersigned officers of your state committee hereby call a mass meeting of the Democracy of Nebraska to gather in Lincoln on Monday, February 14th, as partici pants in a dollar banquet. We do this in conformity with a precedent followed for many years In the holding of such meetings at the capital city for the benefit of the Democratic organization and the pro pagation of Democratic doctrine. And we feel that this year especially the advisability of such a gathering Is apparent, since conditions more than ever demand a vigorous campaign in every state in this union to assert anew the gospel that principles and not money should be the basis of the government at Washington. There has never been a time in recent years when the great mass of the people were so heartily In favor of Democratic doctrines as now. There has never been a time when the ne cessity for the establishment of those doctrines was as plain. A Republican administration finds Itself repudiated and condemned by multitudes of Republicans because it has departed still further from Democratic prlncl pels than did the preceding admin istration, and because such Democra tic policies as the preceding adminis tration in part espoused the present administration is deserting. The coun try is hungry for Democracy Demo cracy in the house of representatives, In the senate and in the white house. And the country is sick at heart over the spectacle of false pretense under which a Republican administration What Ms You?

Vallery for the sum of 114,400, or $90 per acre. Today a transfer was filed frcm C. F. Val lery to James W. Sage of the same property at the rate of $100 per acre or a total of $16,000, and at the same time another transfer of the property from Jas. W. Sage and wife to W. E. Rosencraus and D. C. Mor gan at the rate of $110 per acre, or $17,000. This looks like real estate in Cass county was hitting the high spots but in reality it is not true. This farm at $110 per acre was dirt cheap as prices are now standing in this county. It is worth according to good judges of land not a cent less than $125 per acre anu :ny figure it even, higher. It i ere of the best farms in this section and has a most excellent location. Messrs. Rosen crans and Morgan are well satisfied with their bargain while Mr. Sage feels that he made good interest on his money considering the brief time he held the property. The land which comprises this farm is as fertile as any in the county and as productive. It is not known what the last pur chasers intend to do with the farm but It is sure they secured a fine bar gain at the price they bought it at. It is expected to bring at least $20, 000 within a very limited space of time. And it is worth every cent of that and then some. Caiulleinus Day. - On Candlemas day throw candles and sucks away.

Sensational Event at Mui'dock. A sensational event took place last Saturday afternoon at Murdock where O. P. Stewart and his wife and the wife's sister pulled oft a llttlei em bryon kidnapping stunt. Stewart and his wife have been divorced for some time but were both on the Rock Is land train when it pulled into Mur dock. Mrs. Stewart's sister was at the train with a small Bon of the parties and when the train stopped Stewart got off and snaked the young ster into a car where he hid him. The GrilTin-lIospcnthal. County Judge Beeson this morn ing was called upon to perform a marriage before he reached the office, the contracting parties being S. C. Griffin of this city, aged 38, and Mrs. Frances Hospenthal, also of this city, aged 40. The couple were accom panied by Mrs. Laura Gradevll and Mr. W. A. Griffin who stood up with them. Immediately- following the ceremony, the happy couple departed for Havelock, where they will visit relatives for several days, being at home in this city by the end of the week. The groom Is a well known farmer of this vicinity and Is an In dustrious, hard working man of many excellent traits. He has a great many friends throughout this section who unite in congratulations upon his ven Ing the purification of the Virgin. The observance of the day Is that to which it owes Its name, viz: the light ing of candles, and, in the Roman Catholic church, the consecration of the candles which are to be used dur ing the year for eccllatical purposes. This is said to have an emblematical reference to the prophecy of Simeon that the child Jesus should become "a light to lighten the Gentiles." The feast dates probably from the time of Justinian and about the year 542, and Is supposed to have grown out of the four heathen festivals held in February. In this city the consecration of the candles in the Roman Catholic church took place today In accordance with the observances of the church. assemble in force at Lincoln on the day mentioned to take up In earnest the work of advancing the welfare of the party and the principles for which It stands.

Hall, Treasurer. Mrs. J. B. Hungate of Weeping Water Entertains. Last week Mrs. Dr. J. B. Hungate of Weeping Water held a week-end party at her delightful home in that city to a largo number of Invited guests Including several from this city. The party lasted over Beveral days and was a period of unalloyed enjoyment for all. An especially in teresting and enjoyable feature of the party was given on Friday evening when the hostess had her handsome parlors handsomely decorated and gave a mock marriage to which invi tations had been issued' to a great number of the young folks of Weep ing Water and vicinity. The decora tions for the occasion were of the usual order for wedding;, handsome festoons of holly draping the parlors while wedding bells were conspicuous throughout the house. The ceremony itself was almost as impressive as if the marriage were real. Rev. Canon Bundy officiating as the minister and his rendition of the ceremony was most Impressive. The only trouble which ' he experienced was in distinguishing the groom from the bride and even after the ceremony he was heard to remark that he was not sure as to whether he had used the proper questions for the groom. The groom was Reavls Waldo Gist of Falls City while the charming bride was Miss Hallle Adele Parmele of this city and a most charming and hand some bride she proved to be. Im mediately following the ceremony a reception "was tendered the newly wedded , couple at which many of tho young people of the community were present. Folowing this the happy couple vanished for parts unknown. Another especially enjoyable feature of the party was a luncheon tendored the guests by Mrs. Thos, Murtey on Saturday afternoon. This was very delightful and highly appreciated by the guests. On the whole, the week end was one of the most enjoyable the guests have ever had. the fortune to experience. Those In the party Included Misses Ruth Reavls of Falls City, Miss Ma bel Harrison of Hastings, and Misses Helen Clark, Hallle Parmele of this city, and Messrs. Reavls Gist of Falls City, Harry and Carl Boubour of Appreciates Article.

Seldom do business men realize that a newspaper is seeking to do what it can for their material advancement and that It knows ia their welfare lies that of the paper but Mr Nemetz seems to be an ex ception and the Journal Is proud to know that Its work is noticed and commended.

One day last week Bert Philpot, one of Weeping Water's en terprising autolsts received a large shipment of the celebrated Maxwell machines, he being the agent for that make for this county.
