H. Melton, a construction foreman for the Western .Union Tele graph Co., Omaha, Neb. Mr. Mel ten's home is at 3336 Tracy avenue, Kansas City, Missouri, and it was while he was in Kansas City one week-end on business for his com pany that he made this statement to the Tanlac representative. . "For 20 years before I started tak ing Tanlac I suffered from stomach trouble and nervous indigestion." he continued, "and my condition kept getting worse until about five years ago I was in such awful shape that recrly everything I ate caused me tcrribls suffering. I had bursting headaches, and gas would form on riy stomach at times that I could hardly breathe, and felt heavy ind riuffy at the time. I suffered from constipation and got so weak and run i'owii that I could hardly drag about :ind iHimctimes it looked like I would lust have to give up my work en tirely. "A friend of mine, who had tried Tanlac, recommended it to me so strongly that I began taking It. Well, rir. in three days' time I could tell that I had at last struck the right medicine, for my appetite began to improve, my stomach got better and I vas feeling built up in every way. I have now taken five bottles of Tan lac. eat anything I want, have gained II pounds in weight, and never have a pain in my stomach. I have almost forgotten that I ever had a headache and I am not constipated any more, and in short. I'm not the same man and was never in better health In my life. Yes, sir, of course, I can recom mend Tanlac and I am glad when ever I get the opportunity to say a good word for it." Tanlac is sold in Plattsrnouth by F. G.

From Saturday's Dally. . Despite the cold and snowy weath er a number of the Plattsrnouth mem bers of the Nobles of th Mystic Shrine made the journey to the oasis of Lincoln where the members cf the rhrine have prepared the sands of the desert with unusual heat and tho candidates will receive their full benefit. The announcement of the ceremonial states that the spirit (not. spirits) of joyous jollification is again predominant within this noble DOINGS IN COUNTY COURT. From Saturday' Dally. This morning a hearing was had on determination of heirship in the Agnes Root estate on the petition of Jesse A. Rjot, husband of the de ceased, to determine the number of heirs of the estate.

The young people will be married at the home of the bride in Weeping Water. 'Tis a curiou3 plight in which Ne braska republicans find themselves. They have a governor, elected last year by a majority truly magnificent, ar.d yet they want no more of him. Nor, looking about, do they appear to find promising substitute mater ial. Not in recent year has Nebraska seen a governor facing o contest for a second term nomination agai:i.st such odds as appear today. Half of the republican state representatives have participated in an anti-MeKel-vie conference. An overwhelming majority of the republican state com mittee is reported opposed to McKel vie's renomination. State officers, whose own re-election fortunes are inseparable from the head of the ticket, conceal scarcely at all their hope that some man other than the present incumbent be the republican candidate next year. Meanwhile, there is a galaxy of prospective candidates: R. B. How ell and A. L. Sutton of Omaha, Don Love of Lincoln and others. But of all, only Sutton and Love are quoted as being in a receptive mood. And who are they? Love was mayor of Lincoln a number of years ago, un known to the state at large. Sutton was the republican nominee in 19t5, when he ran 40.000 odd votes be hind state prohibition, although pro hibition was the head, tail and the body of his campaign nag.

With farm lands selling at three hundred dollars per acre and wheat bringing $2.07, and corn following closely, why have some of this valuable domain loafing and not producing anything?

We know the present costs of things make it hard for a man with a family to buy ahead, but if you possibly can, come in and pick you out a suit and lay it away uutil you need it. Wc have seen all our clothing lines forj spring they are higher than ever. Many suits will retail at from $75 to $100.
