FRANK STEPPAT
LOSES SIX HEAD OF
FINE YOUNG CATTLE
Frank Steppatt, who purchased a
car of feeders a few days ago in Oma
ha is mourning the loss of six of the
cattle, who made their escape before
he was able to drive them out to his
home, west of this city. The cattle ar
rived last night over the Burlington
and were taken to the stk yards
near the old elevator and unloaded to
allow them to be delivered to Mr.
Steppatt. In some way it would seem
cne of the gates was opened and this
morning six head of the cuttle were
found to be missing, and a thorough
search is being made by Mr. Steppatt,
as well as the railroad employes, in
the hopes of locating the missing ani
mals. The loss of the six head of cat
tie will amount to considerable, as
they were of good stock and were to
have been fattened at the Steppatt
home for the market. A search will
be continued in the hopes that the
missing stock may be round ad up and
restored to the owner in this city.
FARMERS TAKING AD
VANTAGE OF PRE
SENT FINE WEATHER
Yesterday and today have been
taken advantage of to the fullest ex
tent by the farmers in this locality in
an endeavor to secure some measure
of success in handling the wheat crop
before another rainy season visits
this locality. Everyone is br.sy in dry
ing out the wheat and those that can
are getting busy in threshii.g out the
wheat and oats. A great deal of the
wheat has suffered front the wet
weather, despite denials, an I this has
caused an advance in the price of flour,
as well as the old wheat, as this year's
crop does not look good to tirn out as
well as had been expected, as the
dampness has, despite all efforts of
the farmers, made a marked difference
in the wheat, and the flour made from
the wheat this year will not test as
high as that of last year did, and the
advance in flour may be looked for.
BIG DANCE AT THE GERMAN
HOME NEXT SATURDAY NIGHT
One of the pleasant features of the
dancing season will be th dance to
be given at the German Home on Sat
urday evening, when the lovers of
good dancing will be given the fullest
opportunity of enjoying themselves in
a nice, clean social dance. The music
for the event will be furnished by the
riattsmouth orchestra of five pieces,
under the direction of Tom Svoboda.
Everyone invited to attend and a good
time and good order assurtd.
Could Not Eat.
Sometimes an unexpected collapse
overtakes us, making us unable to
work and to eat. Our strength soon
disappears. Mr. Bol. Stelronis wrote
us about it as follows: "Eest thanks
for your remedy, which restored my
health. I could neither eat nor work,
but as soon as I started using Trin
er's American Elixir of Bitter Wine
my appetite returned and with it my
strength. Before this I ne er believed
that your medicine had such a
curative power, but now I am con
vinced of it. Bol. Stelnonis, Peacock,
Mich." Many people doubted our
statements about Triner'f; American
Elixir of Bitter Wine, until they tried
it on themselves. It is an excellent
preparation for the stomach and the
bowels, especially in constipation and
its complications, loss of appetite and
flatulence. Price $1.00. At drug
stores. Jos. Triner, Manufacturer,

Cut the Weeds.
Ihe time for which the laws of
Nebraska provide for the cutting of
weeds along the public highways is
from July 15 to August 15, and the
time is drawing to a close very rap
idly, all persons in Eight Mile Grove
precinct are urged to cut the weeds
along their property at once in com
pliance with the law. In case of fail
ure of the property owner to perform
this work it becomes the duty of the
supervisor to cut them and the costs
charged up to the property. Let all
get after them and cut them at once.

ATTORNEY AND COM
MISSIONERS INSPECT
BRIDGE AT UNION
The board of county commissioners
and County Attorney A. G. Cole were
down at Union yesterday afternoon
inspecting the .new bridge and the
proposed fill that will be necessary to
make before the bridge can be put in
to use. The residents of Union and
vicinity are very urgent in having the
work of making the fill completed, as
the bridge will give them a complete
highway from Lincoln clear to the
Missouri river and will do away with
the present bridge, which for several
years has practically been ready for
the discard. This road will be quite
extensively traveled during the com
ing week, as the Old Settlers' Re
union will be held at Union on Friday
and Saturday, August 13th and 14th,
and the people of Union feel that they
should have the bridge in readiness
for use.

FREIGHT TRAFIC
SOMEWHAT ON THE
SLUMPING ORDER
While a small amount of new wheat
is moving and the prospect for a fair
movement a little later on is fairly
good, the main business of Nebraska
roads is in getting Pacific coast trav
elers through to their destinations
and returning them safely. The back
ward flow has started and a number
of parties that went west some weeks
ago have been handled on the way
home. Special trains for the west are
still coming regularly and the traffic
bids fair to hold up well until late in
the fall.
One year ago a strenuous effort was
made by Nebraska road3 to get grain
cars ready for the big rush. This year
this effort has not been so pronounced
for the reason that there were no in
dications of a heavy, early rush. Many
grain firms have advised their farmer
friends to hold grain for awhile, and
above all to avoid threshing from the
shock and adding to a rather delicate
market situation the factor of low
grade offerings.
For a few days freight traffic
lumped and many thought an un
isually dull season was at hand. The
change came, however, and a fair
traffic is being handled, although the
business is not what operating of
ficials call heavy. They would like to
see freight moving in all directions in
greater volume. That may come
later on. State Journal.
W. B. Porter of Mynard was in the
city today for a few hours en route to
Omaha. Mr. Porter has just returned
home from .Missouri Valley and
Logan, Iowa, where he had been look
ing after some matters of business.
Frank Blotzer, jr., from near Cul-
lom. was in the city today for a few
hours looking after some trading with
the merchants. Frank is getting along
in fine shape with his broken arm and
hopes to be able to use it in a short
time.
