PLOYES IN TRIBUTE
TO PRES. HARDING
There are periods in our individual and business
lives when we have to call for HELP and CO-OPERATION
and that period has come to me.
I have decided to incorporate my business under
a State Charter. In order to do this, i must close all
my outstanding bills and start anew. And it is now
that I announce to my friends that I will certainly ap
preciate their immediate assistance in this matter and
ask them to call at the store and arrange a full set
tlement of their old accounts in order that I may ful
fill the requirements to obtain a State Charter.
This announcement does not mean that we will
not grant credit under the new firm, but it is simply
to arrange a settlement of the old and start a new.
Assuring you all that the same service and ac
comodations will be granted in the future that has
been in the past, I am
Very Truly Yours,

RESIDENT MEETS AC
CIDENTAL DEATH
James Williams. Once Resident Near
Louisville. Found Dead from
Sliotjun Explosion.
Fiom Saturday's Dally.
In our issue of last week we an
nounced the sudden death of James
Williams at his home in Renfrew,
Oklahoma, but the message which
was received by his brother, M. L.
Williams of this place, did not state
any of the particulars. His death oc
curred on Tuesday of last week, July
CI 1923.
His brother left at once for Okla
homa to attend the funeral and re
turned home last Sunday. He states
that his brother had teen In his
usual health which was not the best,
but much improved in later months.
He had milked the cows that morn
ing and had exchanged' conversation
with his wife and son Floyd, who
was there to help with putting some
hay in the barn. He himself was
not able to help with the hay and
recover very soon. The funeral oc
curred on last Thursday and was at
tended by all the brothers and one
sisttr. The elder sister. Mrs. Flor
ence Powell, cf Fairmont, West Vir
ginia, was not able to attend. This
is the first death in a family of sev--n
grown children, the youngest,
Charles, being 4 9 years old. Deceased
was 5S years, 9 months and 17 days
old.
Mr. Williams' wife was a former
Cass county lady and her maiden
name was Lena Shelhorn, daughter
of Mrs. Anna Shelhorn of Louisville.
Both he and his wife come from
two cf the oldest and most highly re
spected pioneer families of this vi
cinity. They moved to Oklahoma
over twenty years ago, their three
children all being born In Nebraska.
He leaves, besides his widqw, one
son and two daughters. They are
Floyd, who farms about twenty miles
from the home place; Mrs. Charles
Cole of Wellington, Kansas, and Miss
Marie Williams, living at home. Be
sides the immediate family, he is
survived by two sisters and four
brothers. They are Mrs. Florence
Fifteen Minute Service at Shops Yes
terday Afternoon One Full of
Impressiveness.
From Saturday's Dally.
Yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock
every machine in the Burlington
shops here ceased their activity for
a fifteen minute period and every
employe joined in a tribute to the
memory of President Warren G. Har
ding. The exercises were held just
east of the mill where there is a large
open yard space and here the seven
hundred employs ot the shops were
assembled a few. minutes after 2
o'clock and a very impressive service
held.
The Masonic quartet that sang at
the city services in. Garfield park al
so was present at this service and
gave "Leadly Kindly Light," the
song selected by Mrs. Harding for the
funeral services of her husband.
Rev. H. G. McClusky was asked
to give a few remarks on the life of
the 4ate president and his clearness
and concise manner of paying tribute
to the qualities of the deceased ex
ecutive were much appreciated and
showed a deep thought on the part of
the speaker of the problems that
have been with the late president
since his induction into office.
The services were of a nature that
are seldom given a national figure
and was the laboring man's tribute
to the life and services of Warren G.
Harding both as a statesman and a
man.

house to get a drink and to tell Mr
Williams they had succeeded and to
have a laugh over their doing what
he had said they could not do.
His wife entered the kitchen and
walked through to a hall adjoining
where her husband was lying on

caliber shot gun beside his body.
The bullet had entered hi3 mouth

Because of no motive, the coroner's

Yesterday H. N. Dovey, president
of the First National Bank was again
taken to the Immanuel hospital in
Omaha as the result of the auto ac
cident here som two months ago and
in which he sustained a broken limb.
Mr. Dovey was at the hospital for
several weeks while the broken leg
was healing and was brought home
two weeks ago, it being thought that
he was in the best of shape, but the
injured leg does not seem to have
healed as rapidly as might be wish
ed for and after an X-ray picture of
the leg it was decided to have him
returned to the hospital for treat
ment and consultation as to the in
jured leg.
It is to be hoped that Mr. Dovey .
may have a short stay at the hos-,
pital and once more be able to re-'
turn to the family circle here and;
resume his place in the activities of
the community where he has lived for
so many years.

Cause of Appendicitis
,, When the bowel3 are constipated,
the lower bowels or large intestines
become packed with refuse matter
that is made up largely of germs.
These germs enter the vermiform ap
pendix and set up inflamation which
is commonly known as appendicitis.
Take Chamberlain's Tablets when
needed and keep your bowels regular
and you have little to fear from ap
pendicitis. Weyrich & Hadraba.
