COUNTY TREASURER FOX AT THE STATE MEETING The program for the meeting of the state association of county treas urers, whieh will be held at Hasting on Tuesday and Wednesday, February It and 10, has been issued, and among the various speakers on the program for the opening day appears the name of County Treasurer V. K. Fox of Cass county, who will address the meeting on the subject, "Should As sessments in Nebraska Be Made on a Cash Basis?" County Treasurer Fox, on account of his long experience in ihe oi'iice of the treasurer, is well oualiiid to speak on this interesting question and should be able to afford to the members of the state associa tion many interesting facts in sup port of the question he has been as signed. The meetings of the state association are largely attended and ;he county treasurers from almost every county in the state will be pres ent to assist in the interchange of ideas that may prove of great help-fa-ne-s to the general good. The peo j.ie of Hastings are making many preparations to entertain the visitors while there at the convention. THE COUNTY CGrffiS SiONERS FAVOR IMPROVE- The county commissioners, at their meeting this morning, had before them the proposition of placing a new concrete fiocr in the toilet rooms in the basement of the court house, as a proposition to do the work at a very- low price was offered by Mr. Jamej Burnie and his company. This floor is quite badly in need of repairs am the opportunity afforded the commis sinners is so cheap that they cannot well afford to pass it up. The re placing of the floor at this time will result in the saving of a neat sum to the county, for if it is put over it will i-cjuire a great deal more wor't and expense to get it in shape for service. Sick SincV May. Mr. Theodor Bereska, 1020 W Ohio street, Chicago, came to our of fice and sai I that since the month of May he was suffering from fullness in the stomach, dizziness and heavi ness on the chest. He had no appetite and was always constipated. As soon as he besran using Triner's American Elixir of Bitter Wine, his condition improved. He can now eat well and feels nerfectlv healthy. We kno-v that many people are suffering like wise ami they, no doubt, will welcome this letter. Triner's American Elixir of Bitter Wine is a reliable remedy in such cases, as it usually gives a quick relief. In constipation and its com plications it is to be recommended. Price $1.00. Jos.
