Some Fine Capital. J. L. Young of Soleridue, Neb., was in South Omaha this week on Wednesday with 71 head of his cattle that he fed the oast winter. and when we say that John' has proven a successful feeder we be lieve that we are stating the facts very mildly. The 7 1 head . of steers that he sold Wednesday averaged 1,400 pounds and he re ceived 8.25 per 100 for them, the neat sum of $115.50 each. These eers were fed for Ave months. and made a gain of ion pounds to the head. They were fed on corn and alfalfa hay. One cow in the bunch weighed 1,500 pounds, for which he received $7 iter 100. or 08 for her; another one weighing 1,200, Mr. Young received $0.25 for. lie si ill has about ready for the market 120 head thai will be sold within the next thirty days. Ile has about 00 head more that, will be fed during the summer. All of these cattle were Herefords and Shorthorns. He also has about 200 head of hogs that he expects to make as good returns for him. Mr. Young had a first investment of 25.000 in this entire bunch of stock and can readily see thai he will come out in fine shape. Charles Boedeker of Murray was up to see the bunch of 71 head and himself and many other cat tlemen claim they have never seen such fine slock on a five-months' feed. Spirella Corsets.

AIIWc Ask is a Trial to Be Fair With You L'oostert for a Rural High School .. At. a niee'ling of the citizens of Murray ami vicinity the question oi -establishing a. High school at Murray was discussed. James Loughridae, as, director of the : Murray district school, "presided over the meeting. . 0. Ai Davis acted as secretary and delivered a t alkjm the necessary .legal steps to (he organization of a rural High school, the amount of as sessable property'; in the various districts, .. the cost of a building and the possible expense for the maintenance of such a school. According to the Nebraska school laws, a rural High school may be established when "any two or more adjoining districts in any county of this state which are not able or do not deem it expedient to maintain a school of more than eight grades may unite for the purpose of forming one High school district and maintaining i ne High school as hereinafter provided." To such an organiza- lion i reiiuires the majority oi the voters present at the scboo n ting in each district. The officers of a rural High school shall be the directors of the various districts known as trustees. It shall be their duty to manage the entire affairs of the High school, except ttie sale of properly and the levying of taxes. The expense for the main tenance of a district High school shall be borne equally by each dis trict, according to the amount of assessable property. The majority of people in the various districts are enthusiastic over this enterprise and if the question is properly brought be fore the people a High school al Murray will be assured. A com mittee of nine was appointed to canvass the outlying districts and explain to the voters the or ganization of such a school. W hen one visits the Missouri Paicflc depot on a Sunday even ing and sees Ihe great number of yountr people leaving for Platts mouth and Weeping Water to at tend High school they will be im pressed with the necessity of a local High school. Such Proof as This Should Con vince Any Plattsmouth Citizen. The public endorsement of a local citizen is the best proof that can be produced. None better, none stronger can be had. When . a man comes forward and testifies to his fellow-citizens, addresses his friends and neighbors,, you may be sure he is thoroughly con vinced or. he Would not do so. Telling one's experience when it is for the public good is an act of kindness that should be ap preciated.

M., Barclay, proprietor , of restaurant, Main street, Platts mouth, Neb., says: "I have' not had a single symptom of kidney complaint since Doan's Kidney Pills cured me several years ago.
