I can strongly recommend Ilerbine
as a medicine of remarkable efficiency
for indigestion loss of appetite sour
tasto in the mouth palpitation head
ache drowsiness after meals with dis
tressing mental depressions and low

aration for cases such as mine for a few
doses entirely removed my complaint I
wonder at people going on suffering or
spending their money on worthless
things when Herbine is procurable and
so cheap 50c a bottle at A McMillans

Sept 10th 1901 I had been suffering
several years with a cancer on my face
which gave me great annoyance and un
bearable itching I was using Ballards
Snow Liniment for a sore leg and
through an accident I rubbed some of
the liniment on the cancer and it gave
mo almost instant relief I decided to
continue to use the liniment on the can

PUBLIC FREE LIBRARY NOTES
An invoice of new books will probably
arrive for tho library this week It will
include some of the btfstand most popu
lar productions of tho last few months
and will comprise books for all classes
of readers There will bo the usual
proportion of books for the children
several of the latest novels for readers of
fiction reference books and works on
history and science for the lovers of
more serious literature
Jewel by Miss Burnham is one of the
books ordered The authors last years
story The Right Princess will be re
membered by nil who read it One of
the most successful books of tho season
measured by tho standard of largo sales
it was spoken of by one of tho critics as
the antithesis of Mr Spearmans Dr
Brysou The reviewers say Jewel is
quite as moritorious as the former book
All Nebraslrans should read Mr Salt
not only for its own sake and if wo may
rely upon the verdict of those who have
read it it is well woith reading but be
cause Will Payne was once a fellow citi
zen of ours Thi3 author has written
some of tho best short stories that have
appeared of late years Tho successful
short story writer does not always suc
ceed in a broader field for the exercise of
his talents Tho writing of short stories
is by no means an apprenticeship to the
writing of iioro sustained fiction If
Will Pnjne has written a great novel it
will add materially to his renown
Miss Sewells The Fortunes of Fifi has
received wide and favorable mention
One who is familiar with Miss SewelFs
work will look forward with pleasurable
anticipations to reading this book which
needs no recommendation to those who
have read any of the authors earlier
books
The ORuddy will be read with pathe
tic interest by admirers of Stephen
Crane It will be remembered with
what varied sentiments Tho Red Badge
of Courage was received While the
criticisms of this book werefor the most
part adverse not to say savage much of
Cranes later work was hailed with en
thusiastic praise The ORuddy was
not ct mplete at the time of tho authors
death but was finished by Robert Barr
It is to be hoped he has attained a
higher measure of success than did
Quiller Couch with Robert Louis Steven
sons St Ives If any man has com
mitted a literary felony that man is
Quiller Couch and if such offenses were
punishable by hanging he is deserving
of the severest penalty
Tho Forest Hearth by Charles Majors
Judith of the Plains by Mary Manning
Gordon Keith by Thomas Nelson Page
Cherry by Booth TarkingtonMy Friend
Prospero by Henry Harland The Prince
of India by Lew Wallace and The
Eagles Heart by Hamlin Garland are
others in the list concerning which lack
of space forbids more extended mention
A book that will be of interest to ad
mirerers of that poet is The Bible in
Browning and a work that should be
read by every resident of the region once
called the Louisiana Purchase is
Merriweather Williams edition of the
Lewis and Clark Expedition
Watches For The Boys
The Lincoln Daily Star is making it
possible for any in Nebraska to be the
owner of a handsome American watch
The watches are open face stem wind
and stem set and are guaranteed by the

Many boys throughout the state have
already secured one of the watches and
they are invariably well pleased
Fred Robinson Tekamah writes us
as follows I am very much pleased
with the watch I got It keeps very
good time Thank you A M Lin
ner Holdrege writes after getting his
watch as follows
I think it is a good little watch you
sent me We could give the names of
many more Nebraska boys who have se
cured the watches and are more than
pleased
Any boy in Nebraska who will write
to us we will tell him how he may ob
tain one of these watches We do not
ask you to send us money for them
You can do as well as the other boys
who have already obtained their watches
Write us a postal card or a letter now
asking for particulars

Millionaires Poor Stomachs
The worn out stomach of the over fed
millionaire is often paraded in the public
prints as a horrible example of the evils
attendant on the possession of great
wealth But millionaires are not the
only ones who are afflicted with bad
stomachs The proportion is far greater
among the toilers Dyspepsia and in
digestion are rampant among these peo
ple and they suffer far worse tortures
than the millionaire unless they avail
themselves of a standard medicine like
Greens August Flower which has been
a favorite household remedy for all
stomach troubles for over 35 years
August Flower rouses the torpid liver
thus creating appetite and insuring per
fect digestion It tones and vitalizes
the entire system and makes life worth
living no matter what your station
