How to Bankrupt the Doctors.
A prominent New York physician
says, "If ' it were not for the thin
stockings and thin soled shoes worn
by women the doctors would probably
be bankrupt."" When you contract a

pneumonia, but treat it at once. Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is intended
especially for coughs and colds, and
has ' won a wide reputation by its
cures of these' diseases. It is most
effectual ' and Is -pleasant and safe to
take. For salt by all dealtrs.
Thomsen, Dentist, Gund Bldg.
At last we are to have the long-expected
and much-needed new bridge
across the Weoping Water west of
town, to replace the old one that has
been damned and condemned for sev
eral years. The bridge men have been
working in earnest this week and are
rapidly pushing it along. The new
bridge will be a short distance below
the old one, being on a direct line
with the road running west from
town.
This bridge will be a 90-foot span
constructed of steel and concrete, the
piling at the piers being 28-foot steel
driven down about 24 feet and set in
concrete. The driveway (or deck)
will be 16 feet wide and made of steel
and concrete. This will be one of the
largest and best bridges in Cass
county, and placing it or the section
line takes out the only "kink" in the
road from here to Lincoln. Union

Hunt out the little lame girl,
The poor boy who is blind;
Hunt out the weary widow
Who thinks the world un
kind; Search down among the hovels
Where gladness seldom
strays,
And teach the doubting people
There still are Christmas
days.
You have been busy planning
To spread your gifts afar,
To add your fair love-tokens
Where joys and comforts are,
But have you in your gladness
bestowed one kindly thought
On those who sit in darkness,
With crusts so dearly
bought ?
Your heart is full of kindness,
You hear the anthems sung
And gaze up at the windows
Where pretty wreaths are
hung.
You've heard the sweet old
story
With reverence retold
But there are hungry children
Where all is dark and cold.
Hunt out the little lame girl,
The poor boy who is blind;
Hunt out the weary widow
Who thinks the world un
kind; Go do among the victims
Of chance and greed and
crime
And cause them to remember
That this is Christmas time. J
SPECIAL SESSION
OF THE COUNCIL
SATURDAY NIGHT
The Light Question to Be Submitted
to a Mass Meeting of the
People of the City.
From Thursday's Daily.
The city council Saturday evening
he'd a short special session to try and
get a grasp on the light situation and
to endeavor to get things lined up
where there could be some definite un
derstanding arrived at in regard to
the proposed rates for lights in the
city, both to the city for street light
ing and the private consumer.
The threatened advent of the Mc
Kinley interests here has caused the
offering of a reduction by the pres
ent company, which reduces the rate
to a very low figure for the electric
current. The meeting decided that it
would be the best plan for the ap
pointment of a committee of the coun
cil and Commercial club, which could
visit the Nebraska Lighting company
and secure their final figures on what
they would furnish the curent to the
city for, and then to submit it to the
people at a mass meeting, where the
general sentiment of the citizens
could be secured. The committee ap
pointed consisted of Mayor Sattler,
the lighting committee of the council,
MesFrs. Hallstrom, Bestor and John
son, and President Richey and Sec
retary Falter of the Commercial club,
who will take up the question with the
representatives of the lighting in
terests and fix it in a manner that
their propositions can be submitted to
the people for judgment.
The light question is agitating the
minds of those who take electric serv
ice, as the prospects for the reduction
in rates certainly looks good, especial
ly as we have a very high rate at
present nad it is understood that the
proposed cut will reduce it half in two
and place the electric service within
the reach of all who are at present
compelled to do without. The com
mittee will have their hands full in
trying to adjust the matter, but can
be relied upon to look after the best
interests of the citizens in general.
Fit His Case Exactly.
"When fatner was sick about six
years ago he read an advertisement
of Chamberlain's Tablets in the pa
pers that fit his case exactly," writes
Miss Margaret Campbell of Ft.
Smith, Ark. "He purchased a box of
them and he has not been sick since.
My sister had stomach trouble and
was also benefited by them." For sale
by all dealers.
