Fine Shipment of Cattle.
Our excellent farmer and
stockman friend, Will Philpot,
living west, of Murray, topped the
South Omaha market one day last
week with his 38 head of western
horn cattle. They were a very
line bunch and he received the
high price of 8. (Hi for them. Ho
realized a gain of 510 pounds on
each head and I hoy w ere fed hard
ly six months. They were fed on
alfalfa, clover bay and corn. At
the time Ihe cattle were bought six
months ago Mr. Philpot paid $1.35
for Ihein, so one can easily figure
from the gain and Ihe increase in
price that Mr. Philpot has made
a very neat sum of money, also
deinoiisi rat ing that be knows his
business when it comes to feeding
cattle. Will Philpot, is one of the
most successful farmers and
stockmen of this county, a good
judge of stock, and from the
above sure knows bow to put on
the Mesh. Adam Scbafer, one of
Mr. Philpot's neighbors, was on
the market with him at the time
the cattle were sold.
A Pleasant Afternoon.
Last Saturday, May 25, the
pleasant farm home of Mr. and
Mrs. Henry Creamer, east of Mur
ray, presented a scene of genuine
merriment and pleasure for the
young folks. Quite a number of
the young triends of their son,
Raymond, were invited in to spend
a few hours before Ravmond was
to return lo the hospital. The
afternoon was spent in various
kinds of games and excellent re
freshments were served. Wo were
unable to get all the names of
those present, so will not publish
any of them. Raymond has boon
Buffering some lime with a spinal
trouble and has spent several
weeks in the hospital, and will bo
compelled to return at certain
periods during the next year for
treatment. He is gaining
strength slowly and Ihe physi
cians are of the opinion that he
will be cured permanently, but it
will take some time to accom
plish the desired result.
Modern Residence.
While in Murray Tuesday the
Journal man visited the now
residence being constructed by
Dr. J. F. Mrendel, and found the
oundation all completed, ready
to begin work proper, which
will be rushed through lo
completion. The foundation is of
concrete blocks and one of Ihe
most substantial we ever saw. Tho
now home of Ihe Dr. and his ex
cellent wife will be modern in
every particular, and if tho bal
ance of the work compares with
I ho foundation in substantiality
and good workmanship, Mr. and
Mrs. Mrendel will soon ho pos
sessors of one of t he most beaut i-
ful and comfortable homes in Cass
county.
A Good Light.
S. O. Pitman has certainly a
fortune within his grasp if we
don't miss our guess. He cer
tainly has a system of lighting
that when properly installed in
Ihe home or slore will outshine
any lighting of Ihe age. Mr. Pil
man will soon have agents on the
road demonstrating and selling
those plants and ho claims that it
will undoubtedly find ready sale
wherever (here is a demand for
Ihe most brilliant light, and one
that is safe to handle and at one
half the cost of any other gas
light. Mr. Pitman thinks he will
have plants ready lo in si nl I about
the 15th of June.
Millinery In Murray.
Mrs. Julia Dwyer of Plaits
mouth has decided to open a mil
linery store in Murray, and wil
be hero two days, Tuesday
and Wednesday of this
week. The lino will bo located at
the homo of Mrs. Joseph Cook on
lower Main street. All ladies of
Ihe community are invited lo call
and see her.
THE value of telephone service depends upon the
number of people that can be reached. Two ex
changes in the same community devide the service
and require a subscriber to pay for two telephones in
order to reach all subscribers or to pay for one tele
phone and receive only one half the service.
We are consolidating the exchanges and toll line
service as fast as possible. As soon as thess consoli
dations are completed you will be able to reach all
the subscribers and have all possible toll line con
nections with one telephone and for one price. At
points where change of rate is necessary the rate ad
vanced will be much lower than the proportionate
increase in service and in each case the State Rail
way Commission must approve all changes in rates
and service. Our aim is to connect together all ex
changes and toll line systems so that one universal
service may be given.

Expensive Illness.
The treatment of diosases is
more expensive from year to year.
The old-lime house remedies have
to give room lo expensive and
often unreliable preparations. We
firmly believe that the time is
near when more attention will be
paid to the prevention than to the
treatment of diseases. It is a
good deal cheaper. One of the
best old family remedies, com
posed entirely of herbs and
natural wine, is Trinor's Ameri
can Elixir of Milter Wine. If
you will use it at tho first symp
tom of an illness you will find it
Ihe best preventive medicine. It
will drive from' the intestines
everything that does not belong
there, that is harmful, that is
poisonous, that is a common
source of sickness. It will heal
the in II a n it'll organs of diges
tion, create a good appetite, re
lieve headache, nervousness,
colds, constipation. At drug
stores. Jos. Triner, 1333-133'.)
