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.

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. Triner, 1333-1339

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.
The pleasures of the evening were
further augmented when all were In-
Ited to the dining room, where all
rat down to a sumpteous banquet,
which had been prepared by a com
mittee of the order which had been
selected for that purpose. It Is
quite needless to say aught of the
"fpread" Itself, as the daintiest of
viands had been prepared and which
were fully up to the standard of this
splendid organization. It was a de
lightful occasion in every particular
and thoroughly enjoyed.

It had grown so sore that he con

will have to make further trips to
the specialist before his eye Is nor

there had been two other large
lemons on the same twig. The lemon
weighed two pounds and one ounce,
and measured at Its shorter circum
