You had bet ter get in the clear while the getting is good, for if you don't, it will not bo long until the officer will be knocking at your door. Need Water Service Also. A few of the more progressive cit izens of Murdock have been behind the electric lighting proposition, and truly they have a vision of a better city in the future. This was demon strated by the fact that if the elec tric lights had been burning in the home of Mr. and Mrs. McHugh, the gas lamp would not have been taken to look for a book which was wanted and the fire would have not occurred. Again had Murdock had a water sys tem the fire could have been extin guished in its incipiency and the subsequent loss been averted. It seems a strange thing that after the boosting for the lights, that Mr. McHugh and family should suffer their loss just on the evening of the installation of the long desired ser vice. departed, wishing this young man many more such happy events.

DRASTIC BOOTLEG GER LAW PROPOSED Stills and Material May Be Confis cated and Extracts Cannot Be Scid in Soft Drink Places. Senator Randall of Cedar intro duced a voluminous bill Thursday in form of a revision of the entire pro hibitory law of Nebraska. The bill was prepared by the anti-saloon I 1 i . A 1 league ana is supposeu to oe exactly what the law enforcement workers want. The measure is S. F. 1S5. If it becomes a law it will be unlawful for arKv one to advertise stills or for mulas for the making of intoxicating liquors. Stills appear to be one of thA principal targets of the bill. It is unlawful to have a still or any of the materials far making whisky in the house. It further provides that any place where liquors are unlaw fully made may be closed by order of a court. Provision is made to curb the unlawful sale of lemon or other ex tracts, compounds or perfumes to per sons who might have such a depraved taste that he would drink such pre parations for the purpose of becoming intoxicated. So the bill fixes it so that if a man is sent up town to buy d little of lemon extract or a bottle of perfume he will not rush into his avorite bowling alley, pool hall, place of amusement or soft drink parlor It is declared unlawful to sell such compounds in these places. Another provision relates to costs in prosecutions for possession of in toxicants. It makes it possible for the courts to charge up to the de fendant the price, which an officer of the law paid for a sample of the wet goods in question, also costs for drayageand like expenses in the ease. In the matter of the manufacture and sale of ethyl alcohol some new- provisions are incorporated by the terms of the bill. A druggist may not sell such stuff unless it is first rendered unfit for use as a beverage It is also provided that a physician may not prescribe alcohol for his patients. Another bill introduced by Itick ard provides that soft drink parlors must first obtain a license for leave to sell their wares. The license must come from the state depart ment of agriculture.

"During the past two years I had a world of trouble from indigestion. Everything I ate seemed to lodge right in the pit of my stomach, where it fermented and formed gas that bloated me up till it actually hurt to fasten my belt. Any little exertion in doing my work around the hotel caused my heart to palpi tate so violently I felt like my breath would be cut off. "My nerves were in such a state the least noise would wake me up, and I never got any sound sleep. My back hurt almost constantly, my ap petite left me, I was falling off in weight and couldn't find any medi cine thai would do me a bit of good. "Well. I finally decided to try Tan lac, and since taking it I feel like a new man. I have a splendid appetite and never suffer from indigestion. nervousness, or aches or pains of any , kind. I have already gotten back ten pounds of my lost weight and am , still gaining. I sleep fine every night and feel good all the time." Tanlac is sold in Plattsmouth by F. G.

Prom Saturday's Dally. The Plattsmouth high school bas ket ball team that journey up to Ben son yesterday afternoon to meet the team of the schooy of that city last nigt h.returned home minus the vic tory and with reports of the manner in which the referee had trampled on their rights and privileges in a more ruthless manner than even the 8th amendment. The score was 41 to 21 when the final whistle was blown and was marked throughout with more or les3 trouble between the players and the official of the game. In the early portion of the contest the referee made his sympathies clear when he hung three foul3 on Schneider, one of the effective players of the locals and put the player out of the game and forcing the use of a substitute in the battle which was waging be tween the two teams. From the reports the Plattsmouth boys were well able to deal with the Bensonites, but their support from the official enabled them to get the best of ,the final argument and our warriors of the baskets returned home in defeat and in not the best of humor over the treatment, received in the Omaha suburb.
