Harris, was quite ser lously Injured last Monday from horse kicking him In the breast. The The Lincoln Evening News Is pretty Independent sometimes In speaking out in meeting, and hits the nail squarely on the head In the fob lowing: In the rush of finishing up legislative work, sight should not be lost of the recommendations of the house committee for a business-like system of accounting at the state In stitutlons. The various state officers have had their own way about spend ing the appropriations, and while there are no known cases of ex travagance or graft, the fact that In many Instances one man controls the expenditures and auditing stamps it I? most unbusinesslike. Tax money tomes pretty hard only when the people who pay It feel that they are not getting the worth of their con tributions. If It can be shown that money raised for public purposes is disbursed wisely and according to tho appropriating ad, only a very few will object to paying their share of governmental expenses. In truth, there Is nothing one gets that costs less than good government, and complete system of gathering all money's collected Into the treasury and of distributing It only upon au thority Is sadly needed. Aug. Hush & Son. This change has been made in the title of the new general merchandise firm In Murray since the close of the doors last Saturday evening. Of course there are numerous clauses In the contract which forms the new company, one of which Is that Mr. Hans, sr., will do all the purchasing and selling of the goods handled by the firm, but the new partner will have full control and management of all affairs, both at the store and at the family residence, for a period of twenty-one years, at which time should both parties agree and be entirely satisfied with the business and the way they have handled the same, they will enter Into a new con tract that will only be severed by the death of one or th other. The new partner says he will not unload flour, handle barrel sugar, or pack strong butter for at least the first ten years of their business career, as his strength will not permit. This new partner arrived at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hass at Wilcox, Neb., on last Sunday, and Is the first boy of the family, although they have three mighty fine little girls. The message received by Mr. Hass simply states that It Is a boy, and all are doing nicely. He Is the hap piest man In Murray, he can hardly believe that the message speaks the truth, and Is going to Wilcox Friday evening to get acquainted with his new partner. lloiiraMhcfda. A medical Journal devoted to the treatment of nervous disorders claims that about seventy-five thou sand people die In the United States annually from such diseases. Still we find very few who regard them as seriously as pome less serious maladies. The treatment is, in many cases, perfectly wrong, because, for weak and exhausted nerves, instead of good tonics, sedative medicines are given. We wish to advise you to to use Trlner's American Elixir of Bitter Wine, which is a reliable ncrve-tonie. It will, in the first place, regulate the work of the di gestlve organs, which assures the formation of new, rich blood. This blood will nourish the nerves and will give them new strength. As long as your digestion Is perfect you will not suffer from nervousness or exhaustion. In all disorders of the digestion you can rely on Triner s American Elixir of Bitter Wine. At druggists. Jos.

ZUCKWEILER & LUTZ EASTERN STAR LODGE ENJOYS SOCIAL TIME One of the most delightful social meetings held for some time was that given by the members of the Order of the Eastern Star at their lodge rooms last evening and which was largely attended by members of the organization, who turned out to have a thoroughly enjoyable evening, and all those who were fortunate enough to have the privilege of taking in the affair join In saying that it was one of the best social meetings they have ever had the honor to participate in. The early hours were taken up with the Initiatory ceremonies, Mrs. Hass being the new member who was In itiated Into the mysteries of this order, and following the Initiatory ceremonies all joined In having a good social time.
