Shoemaker, who us a representative in the last ses sion of the legislature, was the author of the, Shoemaker law making the carrying of concealed weapons a penitentiary offense, calls attention to the fact that misapprehension exists in many quarters concerning scope, since the law went into effect the past week. It is not designed to pre sent honest men from carrying weapons necessary for protection I of self and property, or family, J but is designed to make Ihej punishment so drastic that I hey .will not be carried for illegitimate purposes. This is Ihe new section of the law governing Ihe matter: "Whoever shall carry a weapon or weapons concealed on or about his person such as a revolver, pistol, bowieknife, dirk, or knife with a dirk blade attachment, brass or iron knuckles, or any other dangerous weapon, shall, on conviction, be fined in any sum not exceeding $1,000 or imprison ed in the slate penitentiary not exceeding two years, provided, however, if it shall be proved from the testimony on the trial, .or at a preliminary hearing of jBUCh case that the Accused was, at the lime of carrying any weapon as aforesaid, engaged in any lawful business, calling or employment and the circum stances in which such person was placed at the-lime aforesaid was such as lo justify a prudent per son in carrying the weapon or weapons aforesaid, for the de fense of his person, properly or family, the accused shall be ac quilled or discharged as the case may be. Taken to State's Prison. From Monday's Pally. Sheriff (.minion left for Lincoln on the early train today, going lo the penitentiary with William Becker and Simon Meiers, Ihe former going for five and Ihe lat ter for four years. Becker was convicted at the last term of court of receiving stolen properly, and Meiers of robbery from Ihe per son. Both young men are natives of Hie county, and their parents have the svmpalhy of the com munity. The law is a stern master when it lays its hand on an of fender, and those who violate may expect lo be properly punished. Dr. Donelan of Glenwood called here by the death of his aunt, Mrs. Margaret Schulhof. returned to his home Ibis morning. F leaves one sister, Mrs. Conrad Schlater of this city. . Mrs. Schulhof will be greatly missed from her large circle of relatives and friends, who will mourn the loss of this most estimable woman. She was a kind neighbor, loving mother and a .constant friend, and was regarded with the greatest respect by all who cume within the circle of her acquaintance. Mrs. Schulhof had not bet'n very well for some time, although not complaining, the heat of the past two weeks seemed to tell on her strength and at times she suffered, doubtless from a weak heart, as she complained of dif ficulty in breathing. She was in her garden Saturday, as usual, and looked after her ordinary household duties, and death came to her very suddenly Sunday morning. She was a consistent member of the Catholic church, and her funeral will occur from t. John's church Tuesday morn ing at 10 o'clock and will be con ducted by Father Shine. King Hill Picnic.

SGHUUIO CONGRESSMAN iiGUIRE WRITES G.A.R.IN Explaining the Pension Situation in Congress at the Present Time. In "response lo a letter written to Congressman John A. Maguire following the adoption of resolu tions in regard to pension mat ters, at a meeting of local mem bers of Ihe Grand Army organiza tion of Lincoln, J. H. Mocket, sr., of that city, has been written a communication which reads as follows: Washington, D. C, July 5, 1911. My Dear Sir: I am in receipt of your letter dated June 30, with resolutions from the old soldiers requesting information on pen sion matters in congress. I am very glad to give you this in formation as I have given it lo many others since Ihe sperial tariff session began. On May 23, 1911. the committee on invalid pensions, after full and careful consideration of Ihe many bills before the committee, voted upon and adopted Ihe Sherwood "dollar a, day" general pension bill with but one opposing vole. The chairman' of the committee, Congressman Sherwood of Ohio, who is also author of the bill, was instructed to report the bill to the house as soon as the house was ready to consider general legislation. It was agreed by the committee members that Ihe bill would be reported late in the special session or at the begin ning of the regular session. The author of the bill, Gen eral Sherwood, was a brave and distinguished general of the civil war, is an experienced legislator, a true friend of the veterans and known by meniberss of congress In he favorable to liberal pensions. All members of this committee are also considered favorable lo liberal pension legislation and their attitude has never been questioned here. On June 19, Mr. Anderson, aft er adverse action by Ihe com mittee on his hill, and favorable action on Ihe Sherwood bill, nf lempled to take his bill away from the committee nad have Ihe same taken up directly by Ihe house. Mr. Anderson's hill was consinereu eareiuiiy ny me com mittee along with the many other bills, but received only one vote in the committee. No pension legislation was con sidered in the special session I wo years ago, and T am advised by officers and clerks of the pension committee and the house that no general pension legislation has ever been considered in special sessions. I shall be glad, as slated fo others before, lo vole for anywell considered, liberal general pen sion bill. I voted for Ihe Sulloway penison bill last session, but it was defeated in Ihe senate. II, is well known that should a pension bill come before the senate now, it would refuse lo consider it, for the senate has laken no final ac tion on any important matter of general legislation yet I his ses sion. I need not, here, refer lo my record in congressional service on pension or oilier legislation, lhat is available lo Ihose who de sire lo examine it. Very truly yours, John A. Maguire. Cleans Up Binder Trade. August Gorder, the agricultural implement aeaier, closed out his last binder Saturday to Messrs. Kaffenberger, who got the fortieth binder sold by this popular im plement house this season. This is double the average number sold in one season, which would indicate how important Ihe, small grain crop is in I his end of the county. The method of pulling in the wheal, crop with pressed drill has resulted in an increase in acreage of wheat sown each sea son, and the idea of rotating the crops on Ihe farm to keep (be noil built up is practiced more than formerly, so lhat farming has grown to be a -rienlille business.

A SURE PREVENTIVE OF HOG CHOLERA Dr. Hermsn Greeder of Platts mouth Manufacturers Serum That Secures Results. Early this spring several of our farmers had a great deal of cholera among their hogs, and among this number was George W. Snyder, residing west of My nard. No sooner had Mr. Snyder discovered this fact than he notified Dr. Herman Greeder of Plattsmouth, who immediately called at the farm home of Mr. Snyder and found that he had two very sick animals among his herd. At this lime Dr. Greeder vaccinated the sixteen head then in Mr. Snyder's herd, fourteen of which were well and continued in this healthy condition; Ihe two sick ones died, as Dr. Greeder in formed Mr. Snyder they would. Mr. Greeder does not claim Unit his serum will cure hog cholera nor make sick hogs well; it is simply a preventive, immunizes them for liTo. This Mr. Snyder Jells us has been his experience beyond any doubt. Later in the season Mr. Snyder bought 20 head of shoals and placed them in Ihe same bunch of hogs, firs! having them vaccinated by Dr. Greeder. .The cholera was slid on his place, but Ihe new hogs continued lo do well, eat heartily and put on llcsh very rapidly, so the idea lhat some farmers have lhat the vac cination process stunts or retards the growth of an animal is all a mistake. From Ihe fourteen old sows lhat. Mr. Snyder saved of the original sixteen, he has fifty fine young pigs that are nil doing well, and he is today entirely free from cholera. This article is written from a personal interview with Mr. Sny der, and is merely published thai olher farmers may learn of his cholera experience and prolll by .the same if they so chooses F. H. Dunbar, of Ihe city of Platts mouth, has had about Ihe same experience with the same results, through the merits of Dr. Greed er's serum. FUNERAL OF MRS.

This was made clear in a letter received Saturday by Senator Hitchcock from First Assistant Postmaster Granlleld Mr. Granfleld calls attention to the fact lhat congress intended to shorten the hours of postoffice employes, but failed to increase the appropriation.

' If this was done it would be necessary to dis tribute all the mail in the oillce and Ihe contemplated relief could not be given the employes."
