Perhaps You Wonder
if the tormenting cold that made last
winter one long misery will bo as bad
this year. Certainly not , if you take
Allen's Lung Balsam when tickling and
rawness in the throat announce the
presence of the old enemy. Do not expect
the cold to wear itself out. Take the
right remedy in time. Allens Lung
Balsam is free from opium.
Women and Jewels.
Jewels , candy , flowers , man that is
the order of a woman's preferences.
Jewels form n magnet of mighty power
to the average woman. Even that
greatest of all jewels , health , is often
ruined In the strenuous efforts to make
or save the money to purchase thorn.
If n woman will risk her health to get a
coveted gem , then lot her fortify herself
against the insidious consequences of
coughs , colds and bronchial affections
by the regular use of Dr. Boscheo's
German Syrup. It will promptly arrest
consumption in its early stages and heal
the affected lungs and bronchial tubes
and drive the dread disease from the
system. It is not n cure-all , but it is n
certain euro for coughs , colds and all
bronchial troubles. You can get Dr. G.
G. Green's reliable remedies at Asa K.
Leonard's.
Get Green's special almanac.
Welcome as Sunshine
after a long storm is a feeling of relief
when an obstinate , pitiless cold has been
driven nwny by Allen's Lung Balsam.
Only people who have been cured of
throat-ache and sore lungs by this rem
edy can quite realize what the fooling is.
There is no opium in the balsam ; its
good effect is radical and lasting. Take
a bottle homo today.

The smallpox scare on the Winnelmgo
reservation was brought to the attention
of the authorities at Washington and an
investigation showed that there was
more of n scare than the facts warranted.
It appears that there are but few cases
on the reservation and a Homer mer
chant makes the assertion that the
traders and merchants in the northern
part of the reservation resorted to a trick
to prevent the Indiansamong whom the
government had just distributed $15,000 ,
from spending their money among the
m rchants of Homer.
One of the important cases brought
before the district court of Madison
county at this term is a suit for damages

Lewis who fell from his wagon in Au

Mrs. Lewis received a judgement for
$2,250 Saturday. Ex-Senator W. V.
Allen and W. E. Reed were attorneys
for the defense and Congressman John
S. Robinson and S. O. Campbell ap
peared for the plaintiff.
Lincoln people are soon to receive
their heat from a central plant the same
as they do their water , gas and other
comforts and necessities now. The
Lincoln Traction company has asked for
a franchise to use the streets and alleys
of the city for laying steam pipes. The
traction company uses a large amount
of steam and it is figured that if they
can save the steam wasted from the ex
haust and reenforco it with other steam
for heating purposes it will add consid
erable to their income. The next
scheme will probably bo to distribute
cold air for cooling purposes and the
modern house or business place will be
come a place of comfort , summer and
winter , for a cash consideration.
A horse , attached to n buggy and
being driven by the son of S. G. Satter-
lee of South Norfolk , ran away Satur
day afternoon and created considerable
havoo on Main street. In crossing the
bump left over the ditch in front of E.
J. Schorreggo's place of business the
shafts of the vehicle got on top of the
horse's back the belly-band being un
fastened. The horse from there made n
lively dash to Uraasch & Zuolow's store
ou the corner and broke loose from the
buggy a few feet east. The momentum
acquired sent the buggy crashing into the
delivery timm of Hrimsoh Asuelow ,
breaking the leg of one of the IIOISCH
which belonged to Mr Hnmsoh , nndjlhn
boy wan thrown out , striking the wheel
on his head and chouldor and receiving
a bad out and Homo HO veto biulses. Mr.
HraaNoh found it nccoHmvry to shoot
his horse and there win mourning In
his family that evening UH the animal
w is a great pot. The actual value of
the animal was probably not more tlum
$ : ir > orflO , but Mr. BraiiHoh states that
ho would sooner have lout $100 than had
the accident happen. After breaking
IOOHU from the buggy the Sattorloo
horse made n dash noroHH the brick pave
ment In front of the Htoro and landed
between a team hitched west of the
store , breaking the wagon tongiio. It
wan captured before it got untangled
from UH predicament. There were a
number of women in front of the Htoro
before and after the accident uiul if the
runaway had occurred earlier or later
than it did someone would have been
killed or badly hurt. Mr. Hattorloo
offered to make good Mr. BraaHoh'H IOMH.

"C'rele. " wild the president to hiH
brave little wife about II on that
Thursday morning an the ringing
strokes from the belfry of the Hplnco-
pal church almost acrosH from the cot
tage icached lil.s earn , "what are they
ringing that bell for ? "
"That ? " said MI-H. Carlleld , who had
been waiting for the surprise. "Twit's
the church where we were when you
first came down. They're all going to
pray for yon to get well. " and , falling
on her knees , she said , "And I'm going
to pray , too , James , that It may be
Hoon , for 1 know already that the other
prayer has been heard. "
From where lie lay ( arlleld could HOC
the carriages draw up and gronp after
group go In. lie could even hear the
mibduod refrain of "Je.siiH , Lover of My
Soul , " a.s It wriH borne by on Its heaven
ward way. Thrilled with emotion , a
tear trlekd ! down the president's face.
Then he closed his eyes and turned his
face as a sweet WOIWIII'M voice arose
singing from one of Sir Michael Costa's
oratorios. "Turn ( lion unto me and
have mercy upon me , " sang ( lie voice ,
"for I nm desolate 1 am desolate mid
nllllcled ; the troubles of my heart are
enlarged. Oh , bring then me out of my
distresses out of my distresses my
Ood. "
The people In the church sat almost
spellbound under the voice , for the
singer was affected deeply and made It
seem to all , what It must have been to
her , a prayer In music.
To DMiirf TIM-CM.
To dwarf trees as the Chinese do you
miiHt follow their methods. They take
a young plant , say a seedling or a cut
ting of cedar when two or three Inches
high , cut off Its taproot ns soon as It
has enough other rootlets to live upon
and replant It In a shallow pot or pan ,
allowing the end of the taproot to rest
upon the bottom of the pan. Alluvial
clay molded to the sl/.c of beans and
just sufliclcnt In quantity to furnish a
scanty nonrlshmunt Is then put Into
the pot. Water , heat and light are per
mitted on the same basis.
The Chinese aljjo use various me
chanical contrivances to promote sym
metry of growth. As , owing to the
shallow pots , both top and roots are
easily accessible , the gardener uses the
pruning knife and the searing Iron
freely , BO that the little tree , hemmed
on qvery bide , eventually gives tip the
unequal struggle and , contenting Itself
with the little life left , grows Just
enough to live and look well.

Otto Schultze. a stenographer , wrote
la the Brandenburg Kclmlblntt that
Bismarck had a wonderful memory.
"When he had delivered a two hours'
speech and looked over our shorthand
reports tlie next day , he remembered
every expression he hnd used exactly
and did not forget them for years. "
The novelist Splelhngen once told
Schultze that he could recall vividly
every one of the thousands of persons
he hnd met In his life and every word
spoken by casual acquaintances , to
gether with their gestures and the cut
of their hair and clothes.
