thousands of cases of inflamma

Deab Mbs Pinkham Gradual
loss of strength and nerve force told
me something was radically wrong
with me I had severe shooting pains
through the pelvic organs cramps and
extreme irritation compelled me to
seek medical advice The doctor said
that I had ovarian trouble and ulcera
tion and advised an operation I
strongly objected to this and decided
to try iiydia E Pinkhams Vege
table Compound I soon found that
my judgment was correct and that all
the good things said about this medi
cine were true and day by day I felt
less pain and increased appetite The
ulceration soon healed and the other
complications disappeared and in
eleven weeks I was once more strong
and vigorous and perfectly well
My heartiest thanks are sent to
you for the great good you have done

CELEBRATE NEBRASKA DAY
Governor Mlckev Issues Proclamation
ii
to ine rcopie ot inc oiaie
Tuesday May 31 has been set apart
by Governor Mickey upon which to
celebrate the signing of the bill that
made Nebraska and Kansas a
ry Upon Friday preceding this day
Governor Mickey requests that
priato exercises be held in all the
school houses of the state and that
on the Sunday preceding Nebraska
I ministers tell Nebraskans of the
j growth of the state The proclama
tion setting apart the day follows
On the 30th day of May 1854 Presi
dent Pierco affixed his signature to
one of the most important enactments
which has passed congress during the
existence of these United States The
incidents leading up to the introduc
tion and final passage of the Kansas
Nebraska rbill wfere history malting
in their character and have indelibly
stamped their impress upon our na
tional life The succeeding events
were even more decisive and tragic in
their results ultimately plunging the
north and south into factional war and
testing in the balance of sanguinary
conflict the mooted question of the
times affecting human liberty Such
stirring scenes as these marked the
enactment of the Kansas Nebraska
bill by the terms of which the future
state of Nebraska then in territorial
form first emerged fnm the wilder
ness lying west of the Missouri and
assumed its initial civic responsibili
ties Owing to the intensity of the
times the eyes of the nation were
fixed upon Nebraska then and be
cause of our spectacular growth and
development the attention thus at
tracted has never been withdrawn
Much was expected of Nebraska but
not more than it has been able to
deliver Its early settlements of God
fearing liberty loving school-fostering
citizens exerted a wholesome in
fluence upon the trend of national
events from the very first and laid the
foundations for the magnificent state
hood which is our heritage today
In the hurry and bustle of life it is
profitable at times to briefly pause for
retrospective view In harmony with
this idea many of our citizens have
thought it wise to properly celebrate
the semi centennial anniversary of
the signing of the Kansas Nebraska
bill and the plan meets with my
hearty approval As the date occurs
on the 30th of May a day conse
crated to the memory of our soldier
dead a delay of one day is fitting
and proper
Therefore I John H Mickey gov
ernor of the state of Nebraska do
hereby appoint and set apart Tues
day May 31 1C04 as a day of com
memoration of the signing of the
bill an event of the
utmost importance to this people I
suggest that on the Friday preceding
the schools of the state take cog
nizance of the matter and by appro
priate exercises challenge attention
to the progress of the half century the
hLory attending the birth of the
territory and seek to inculcate such
lessons of patriotism as befit the oc
casion It also seems proper that on
the Sabbath preceding the anniver
sary the pastors of tho state should
make reference to the event from
the sacred desk and give to their con
gregations some thoughts on the
giowth and development of our com
monwealth and the blessings of Prov
idence that havo been vouchsaed to
us I recommend that the people
generally recognize the anniversary
and assist in its observance in any
manner that seems most convenient
It is said that distance lends en
chantment to the view but the theory
falls down when applied to a mans
view of pay day
