The public who are users of elec tric current in their places of busi ness and houses were greatly incon venienced Saturday night -when the electric current was cut off shortly after 1 o'clock and remained olf un til late yesterday afternoon, when it was once more pfaced in service. One of the larire transformers at the n v.ver house in this city was burned out during the evening, causing the delay and putting the lights out of commission all over the city and just at a time when thev were needed the most. This is the second time in two weeks that the current has been shut o:i" owing to the transformers and it is very annoying to the patrons of th-..' comrr.nv, ar.d especially to the business men, as both times the mis hap has occurred on Saturday even- bar, when the shoppers are busy in trading, and it certainly was most inconvenient and made necessary the use of candles or lamps" to illuminate the stores that were not provided j u Jn this citv an,j lo witness trie The Eagles, at Coatos' hall, drew an The services have done a great deal exceptionally large crowd to c njy the toward th? upbuilding of the church in d imisic of the branch orehestta f the city. t South Omaha. an organization of members of the Eagles, and 'luring the dance th:' ra"oms of the order, ad joining the dance hall, were placed at the disposal of the guests ar.d as-i-te.i in making the occa.-ion one that wa- HALL GIVES BOHEMIAN PLAY AT T.

Readers of the Journal have been told again and again of the merits of that reliable, time-proved kidney rem edy Doan's Kidney Pills. The ex periences told are not tho.; of un known persons, living far away. The cases are Plattsmouth cases, told by Plattsmouth people. Theb. Staikjohan, retired farmer, Locust and Ninth streets, Plattsmouth, says: "Eor several years Dean's Kid it-v Pills have been used in our fan! ilv for backache and other symptoms of kidney trouble, and they have al ways proved to be all that is claimed of them. Whenever my back ieels a little lame and my kidneys are not acting as they should, I take Doan's Kidney Pills a few days and they never fail to do me good. Doan's can't be equaled, and anyone having kidney trouble should use them, for they are reliable.'- Price 50c. at all dealers. Don't sim ply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Tills the same that Mr. Staikjohan uses. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. C. E.
