THURSDAY WEEKLY
WOMEN'S SENSITIVENESS.
The stomach of many women is' so
sensative that it is often a hard task
for the chemist to prepare the rem
edy in such a way that it would le
acceptable for every, woman. If he
succeeds, surely nobody will hesi
tate to praise his efforts. Triner's
Bitter Wine is a remedy of that kind.
It acts surely, it cleans the stomach
and removes all poisonous waste mat
ter from the intestines, but it does
not hurt even the most sensitive
stomach. That is why Triner's Bit
ter Wine has always been in great
est favor with women. Mrs. Louise
Goratowska wrote us for instance on
August 7, 1921: "Pawtucket, R. I.
Triner's Bitter Wine helps me re
markably. No other remedy gave
me such a relief in my sickness. I
express you my most sincere thanks.
Try also Triner's Liniment, which in
these days of autumnal attacks of
rheumatism, neuralgia and lumbago
is a real benefaction. Your druggist
or dealer in medicines will serve you
with all Triner's remedies.
CEDAR CREEK WINS
Sunday afternoon the team of
John E. Wolff of this city, known
as the "Cubs" journeyed out to our

and staged a good game of ball
along the banks of the placid Platte

Cedar Creek team that R. M. Stivers
had arranged for the occasion,
skinned the Cubs by a score of 11

"EVERYBODY'S STORE'
SAYS TRUE STORY
NOT GIVEN OF CASE
Nebraska Lighting Co., Not Wholly
to Blame for Discontinuaaice
of Service to Patron
from Wednesday's Dally.
Relative to statements made at
the council meeting on Monday even
ing as to the discontinuance of the
electric lignt service to a party re
siding in the former home of John
Beeson near Lincoln avenue. Mana
ger Kuykendall yesterday afternoon
stated the ciscumstances of the case
as they reoccurred to his mind to
the Journal representative. It seems
said Mr. Kuykendall that sometime
before he assumed the management
of the lighting company here, the
manager of the Lincoln Telephone
& Telegraph line had allowed an
electric line to be strung in on their
lines to the residence of Mr. Beeson
and to this line ' thte 'Nebraska Gas
& Electric Co., were requested to
supply current, which they did, now
when Mr. Beeson 6old his residence
property, Mr. Kuykendall states, the
telephone company promptly notified
the light company that they would
not tolerate the electric light wires
on their poles and for the lighting
company to discontinue the . current
along that line. This was complied
with, the current shut off, and the
wires removed. The line carried four
or five blocks of wire and had the
lighting company put them in on a
copper circuit, Mr. Kuykendall states
that the service would cost the con
sumer something like $1 per kilo
watt. This ia the reason for the service
being discontinued and not the fact
that the man in question declined
to purchase any stock of the light
ing company. If the consumer is will
ing to stand the cost the company
will put the line in for him.

MIGHT HAVE BEEN ELSEWHERE
From Tuesday's Dally.
The account of the robbery of Joe
Smith which appeared in last even

enour, the owner of the livery barn
to state that while the robbery
might have occurred there is a mat
ter of doubt as to whether or not
Mr. Smith might not have got touch
ed up while out calling that night
before returning to the barn for the
night. Mr. Smith did not, however,
desire to cast any reflections on the
employes of the barn at any time
and was in the belief that someone
entered the barn and made away
with the coin that he claims to have
missed from his purse.
