DEBATE AND LECTURE TONIGHT
The Loyal Sons' class of the Christ-
jan cnurcn win meet this evening
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. M. S.
Briggs and enjoy a debate and a very
interesting lecture that will be given
by Mr. Richard Avard who will take
terdam, but had barely escaped de
struction in the harbor of Falmouth
by a mine.
Baron said it was the belief that
Germany has perfected a submarine,
fitted with an air chamber through
which a diver can ascend and lay
mines. He expressed a belief that
mines of this sort have been laid in
all English harbors, even in the
mouth of the Thames.
Baron said he had received daily
Lincoln, Jan. .3. (Correspondence
of the Omaha Daily News.) The pro
posed sale of school lands in Nebraska
will be one of the leading questions
to lie thrashed out by the legislature.
Representative Christ" Andresen of
Bristow will introduce a bill pro
viding for the sale of all school lands
it their fair appraised value.
This bill will be supported by Sena
tor Robertson of Holt county in the
senate. Many other senators and
representatives will fall in line.
Senator Robertson declares the time
has come to sell the lands.
Withdrawn in 1897.
"In 1S97 school lands were with
drawn from the market by act of
the legislature," said Senator Rob
ertson. "In Holt county are two quar
ter sections side by side, one owned
y private persons, the other leased
school lands.
'Since 1897 the privately owned
and has paid $2,300 in taxes to the
ounty and state and school fund.
The school land has paid simply a
small rental.
"If that quarter section of land is
sold and the money invested at 5
per cent, the income will be much
more than at present and besides the
school district, county and state will
have the taxes.
"The state school superintendent
tates that school lands are worth
$20,000,000. That amount invested
at 5 per cent would bring an annual
income to the schools of $1,000,000 a
year aside from taxes."
RETURNS FROM THE HOSPITAL.
as his subject, "Africa, India and
Burma." Mr. Avard was for seven warnings from the Cape Race wireless
years in India with the British armv station, telling him to be on the look-
and also served in South Africa and out for a German commerce raider.
Burma in the service of England, and
is therefore in a position to give a
very interesting talk on this subject.
The debate will be between the Loyal
Sons and Loyal Daughters on "Wom
an Suffrage" and the affirmative will
be led by Miss Ruby Winscott and the
negative by Rev. C. E. PerLee.

REALIZE THE CAUSE.
A well known Latin saying says:
"When the cause is removed, the ef
fect ceases. If you suffer from con
stipation, headache, nervousness, stom
ach troubles connected with change of
life, with mining, etc., you must rea
lize the couse; the uncleanliness of
the stomach. Remove the cause, clean
out the stomach with the aid of Tri
ner's American Elixir of Bitter Wine
and your troubles will be over. Tri
ner's remedy cleans and strengthens.
It restores appetite, aids digestion, in
vigorates the nerves and entire body.
But don't accept any cheap imitation.
Only Triner's American Elixir of Bit
ter Wine will give the desired relief.
Price $1.00, at drug stores. Great
weather changes of this winter are
responsible for sufferings of many
people. For rheumatism, neuralgia,
chilblains, etc., use Triner's Liniment.
For colds and coughs, sore throat,
bronchitis, take Triner's Cough Seda
tive. The price of these two excellent
remedies is the same, .lc and 50c at
drug stores; by mail, 35c and GOc. Jos.

COMMISSIONERS WILL NOT
NOW INCREASE SALARIES
The board of county commissioners
at their' session today decided that
they would not act at once on the
matter of declaring the population of
the county to be 25,000 as had been
indicated by the vote cast at the last
election. The board decided that
they would seek further to aseer
tain the correct figures on the popu
lation and accordingly will order a
census taken of the county so that
they will have the figures to work
upon. If the census indicates that
Cass county has more than 2.r,000
population the county officials with
the exception of the clerk of the dis
trict court and county assessor will
be given an increase in their salar
ies, but there will le nothing doing
in the increased salaries until the
census iigures are in belore the com
missioners. It is expected that the
census will he completed by the lust
of February.

UNCLE TOM'S CABIN
AT THE PARMELE
The Parmele theater will have on
Monday, January 8, Wm. H. Kibble's
mammoth production of the immortal
American drama, "Uncle Tom's Cab
in," the most correct and impressive
scenic production of the late Harriet
Beecher Stowe's everlasting legacy to
posterity ever seen in America, the
only version that has been accepted
by the pulpit as a moral instructor.
No such amount of money as Mr. Wm.
Kibble has spent on this play has ever
before been expended on this neglect
ed and much abused American drama.
They have taken great pains in the
selection of the cast and have engaged
actors for their special fitness for
their various parts, rather than for
their ability to play some instrument
in the band, which has been the rule
with managers of like attractions. The
company which Mr. Kibble will bring
to our city is said to number over
fifty people, including negroes to add
to the pictures and sing and dance
in the levee and other scenes. A spe
cial train of Pullman Palace cars is
required to transport this famous
monarch of them all.
