Emll Droege departed this after
noon for Murphy, Idaho, where he
has accepted a good position with the
Murphy Lumber Co. This company
is under the able management of a
Plattsmouth-made young man, and a
mighty good one, too, in the person
of Mr. Chas. Guthman, and is pros
perous in every particular. Emll
Droege is also a mighty fine young
man, the kind that Plattsmouth re
grets to lose, but at the same time
the many friends wish him abundant
success in his far away western
home. If early training counts for
the future of Emll Droege, he will
surely reach the top round of the
ladder, for all his years at home he
has been one of the most steady and
energetic young men of this city, and
we venture the assertion if he fol
lows the guiding hand of Mr. Guth
man he will continue on the road to
success. Success to Emll is the wish
of all.

Notice to Public.
There seems to be some misunder
standing in the Are alarms given and
for the information of the public
and citizens generally, the following
rules will be observed in giving the
alarm by whistle: An alarm for fire
on Main street will be all long blasts.
In the Burlington shops, by all
short blasts.
Fire in the First ward, one long
blast and many short ones. And so
on for the remaining wards, as many
long blasts as correspond with the
number of the ward, and many short
ones following.
For Burlington shop practice, three
short blasts.
In case of lost child the Are bell
will ring by taps of three in succes
sion. Anton H. Koubek,
Chief of Fire Department.
Punctuality.
Napoleon often referred to the fact
that with only 25 horseman he sur
prised the hostile army and won a
great victory. You can see such at
tacks on yourselves. A few microbes
make an attack on you in unprotect
ed, weak spots and, if you are not on
your guard, will win their battle; If
you will watch your body you will
win. Should you notice some irre
gularity, do not postpone the treat
ment. Be punctnal! If the irregu
larity is in your appetite or digestion,
Triner's American Elixir of Hitter
Wine will speedily cure It, because it
gives you strength to the digestive
organs. It has a decidedly good ef
fect In nervousness, povrty of blood,

biliousness is due to a disordered
