Thy iot Fourteen Months.
Nebraska City News.
Friday morning the three men, Thos.
Martin, Frank Kelly and Christ Ilar
man, who broke into the residence of
S. II. Hunter, north of the city some
time since and were arrested after a
long chase, were taken into district
court and allowed to plead guilty.
Judge Chapman read them a long lec
ture on the evil of their ways and
asked if they would tell where the
jewelry was that they took from the
residence, it being understood that if
they would tell, their sentences would
be about eight months, but they re
fused to disclose its whereabouts, so
the judge sentenced them to fourteen
months each in the penitentiary, at
hard labor. There was not a very
strong case against the men,but rather
than stay in the county jail until No
vember and then be sentenced, they
informed their attorney, W. M. Clary,
that they would rather plead guilty
and begin their sentence at once. If
the men will tell the whereabouts of
the stolen goods, the jndge will modify
their sentences.

bowel which increased and became
very distressing. I made inquiry as
to the nature of the disease and learned
that I bad a somewhat aggravated case
of Hemorrhoids or Piles. Was told of
several remedies and used them as di
rected, obtaining thereby some tem
porary relief. Not being satisfied with
such slight relief I cast about for a per
manent cure; when a friend directed
the use of the famous Magxex Pile
Killer. I used it. Immediate relief
from pain followed, and soon a com
plete cure was affected.
