Every citizen of Nebraska can point
with pride to the record of the state
institutions during the past two years.
They hav * . been economically con
ducted , and every institution has been
kept within the legislative appropria
tions. A change in the admisistra-
tjpn would mean a change in the state
institutions , and would , undoubtly
prove u very expensive experiment.
Hastings Tribune.
Never since the city uf Lincoln was
founded has there bi-en such a scene
of activity among the democrats as
could be witnessed at all hours of tin-
day yesterday in front of the Lincoln ,
hotel. The party not only seemed to
be well organixed but well heeled.
That display of activity cost money
and lots of it. If the same sort of
show was made elsewhere people will
begin to wonder about the full public
ity of campaign contributions. Jt is
well known , however , that Mr. Bryan j
was extremely anxious to carry his
home city this time , and it is probable ,
that an extra wad of money was spent
here in deference to that ambition. '

When election is over you will bu

though if your side did not win it
would bu an almost fatal blow , but
you will live it through. You know
we had ten cent corn and forty cent
wheat and got through all right. Mr.
Bryan is more than a quarter right

only consideration. With most of us ,
however , they are the greatest. York

Now the ca\e is visited by compar

Last Saturday afternoon while
M. Ralph Johnson was unloading
potatoes in the cellar , his eldest
daughter met with an accident ,
that was just a miracle that ' she
escaped with her life. Harriet ,
the younger child was in the front
of the wagon holding the reins ,
while Adaline was at the back
helping her father to pull the po
tatoes back into the basket. The
team had drawn the wagon a
little too much forward and Mr.
Johnson told Harriet to back
them a little. Harriet did as her
father rsquested , but the horses
backed to far and pinioned little
Adeline between the wagon and
the house. The noise brought
the parents hurriedly. The team
was driven forward and the little
girl fell to the ground uncon
scious. She was taken to the
house where she remained in that
condition for about thirty min
utes. A phone message brought
Dr. Pennington promptly , but
before he arrived the little girl
had rallied , giving a hard scream
as she regained consciousness.
An examination was made but
nothing was found to be hurt in
ternally. The Doctor says by her
stomach being empty at the time
is the only cause of her life being-
saved.

One of the leading medical
specialists is to spend two days of
each month here. Word has just

by special request pay a visit to
Broken Bow , November 9 and 10 ,
and while here we will stop at the
Grand Central hotel where he
will receive patients.
Dr. Gordon will make examina
tions and give consultation free
of charge and free treatment ex
cept for the bare cost of medicine
used.

all such diseases as : Catarrh ,
Constipation , Rheumatism. Asth
ma , Gall Stones , Indigestion ,
chronic and deep seated diseases
of the Nerves , Blood , Heart ,
Lungs , Bowels , Kidneys and
Skin including diseases of wo
men.
men.Dr. . Gordon has cured a number
of patients in this communityand
in other parts of this and other
states where other physicians
have failed , to whom he would
be glad to refer you.
His system of home treatment
is used in your honied without
any inconvience , publicity or an
noyance and without detaining
the patient from his or her usual
occupation.
"Opportunity is defined by
Webster as a fit or convenient
time. "A time favorable for the
purpose. "
Are you sick and ailing ? Here
is the "opportunity" to &et well.
The doctors do not treat all dis
eases but cure all they treat.
If your case it found to be incur
able you will be frankly told so
and you will not be accepted for
treatment at any price or under
any conditions as Dr. Gordon ab
solutely refuses to accept an in
curable case for treatment.
Dr. Gordon has had over ten
years experience as a specialist in
treating chronic ailments and iu
the past has been consulting phy
sician to the Hot Springs doctors
but now has an office of his own ,
permanently located in Lincoln ,
and will spend two days every
oiu s 01 uomsiocK was in

Central hotel is his next visit.
He never promises more than
he can do. He invites all afflict
ed who really desire a cure , to
honestly investigate his oiginal
and strictly modern methods ,
A private consultation , careful
personal examination will be ab
solutely free whether you take
tre.v.ment or not.
If you have any chronic or long
staning trouble call on him and
take advantage of his free offer.
Dr. Gordon has associated with
him on this trip Dr. Trowbridge ,
of Denver , Colorado , one of the
leading specialists in the treat
ment of chronic diseases , who
will assist Dr. Gordon in giving
free examinations and consulta
tions to all who call.
Dr , Trowbridge has few exuals
and no superiors in the treatment
of chronic diseases of men and
women. They will give a care
ful and scientffic examination
and honest opinion as to your
condition and tin : possiblities of
a cure.
This treatment is endorsed by
the world's leading financiers
and business men , clerymen ,
newspapers , and above all by the
thousands who were made well
and strong by Dr. Gordon's fam
ous treatment.
lie does not publish testrnon-
iala , but if you are skeptical he
does not ask you to take his word
alone , but will furnish you with
a list of names of curen patients
to whom you may write and you
will be furnished with as many
testimonials as you may desire to
investigate.
Dr. Gordon docs not claim to
cure all cases , but absolutely re
fuses to accept an incurable case
for treatment , so that when he
does accept a case the patient
may be assured of a cure of his
money.
Remember the dates that Dr.
Gordon and Dr Trowbridge will
be here Monday and Tuesday at
the Grand Central hotel , and re
turning every four weeks , also
that consultation and examina
tion are absolutely free- whether
you take treatment or not
