the interest going.
The playorn who have always main
tained the court nt the corner of Nor
folk aviinuo and Eleventh street nro
planning for their best season yot. Tim
oourt will likely bo raised a hit with
Kovornl lo.\dn of olny so that a game
may bo h d within nn hour after n
fliimmor rain storm. The racquet
wioldorflof thnt locality are piling the
strings now and within n week or M >
will bo out every evening to battle ever
the not. They now consider thoniHclven
quite the loaders nnd will work hard to
defend tlnlr titles.

Men in thnt section who have been out
of the playing for several seasons huvo
determined to renew the exorcise and

the best tennis in Norfolk. This year
they will endeavor to re-establish their

There worn ouoo n dozen tennis
courts in Norfolk kept busy constantly
through the sum nor. Thou for n time
the interest lagged until it has been ,

up n sot of doubles. The tournament
Inat full created no little old time spirit ,

A north Nebraska tournament is not nt

Rovornl mammoth holes in his trousers
mnko them unfit for further wear ; n
rubber slicker In completely ruined and
a blanket on the box dldn'tlnstn ininuta
the bonfire that caught it.
A couple of tiny tablets made .of
'Otassium ' chlorate aud nestling peace-
ully in the Inft hand vest pocket , were
10 cause of it nil. Mihill had bought
iiom for n cold hut when ho rounded
lie oornor of First street into Norfolk
Tonuo , they made things a bit hotter
or him than ho oared to have them ,
Mihill was driving his cnb from South
Norfolk to the business portion of the
ity. At South Norfolk ho had bought
few of those potassium ohlorato tab
ets nnd laid thorn nwny to take every
.our. . It wan n brand now vest ho says ,
nd had nothing in it. As his cnrringo
wnng around the corner Mihill loaned.
When ho straighsonod up again ho wns

With a strenuous pull the cab man

Potassium ohlorato is an explosive ,
t it is considered by exports that it

VIr. Mlhlll insists , with regard to that
don of the vest , that there was nothing

SENATOR ALDEN'S ' WORK ,
Got Hospital Bill Through Senate
Without a Dissenting Vote.
'
'Tho following letter from the
assistant secretary of the senate explains - ,
plains itself. Being on the ground ho
has au opportunity to witness what is
going on in the legislature , and his
opinion of Senator Aldeu has boon
formed from personal observation.
Lincoln , April 1. Norfolk Daily
News : House Roll No. 28 , appropriates
the sum of $100,000 to rebuild the hos
pital for the iusatio at Norfolk , which
appropriation hns been agreed to by the
senate , and having boeu passed with
tbo emergency clause , will bo immedi
ately available. The city of Norfolk
and the people of the state at large are
to be congratulated on the passage of
this bill. It provides the way for the
restoration of the burned buildiug , iu
the end hotter than before the calamity
occurred.
No little credit for this result is duo
to the nble senator from the Eleventh
district , Dr. J. M. Alden of Pierce.
Senator Aldeu never lost sight of the
measure , and it is largely due to his
good maunuement thnt the nnnrnnri-
ation did not have a dissenting vote in
the senate when the bill came up iu
that body for passage.
The senator from the Eleventh dis- i i
trict has certainly earned the common- - r \
dntion of his constituents. 1 i

RHEUMATISM CURED AT LAST
Good News to All who Suffer With -X
Rheumatism Free.
To all who suffer with rheumatism I
will gladly send free the wonderful
story of how my mother was cured
after years of suffering , together with
the most elaborate treatise on rheuma
tism ever published ,
No matter what your form , of rheu
matism is , whether acute , chronic ,
mnscnlnr , inflammatory , doforinant ,
scintio , neuralgia , gout , lumbago , etc
no matter how many so-called "sure
cures" you have tried I want you to
write to me and let me toll yon how
mother was cured.
I am neither a doctor nor a professor i
simply a plain man of business but
I have a euro for rheumatism , and I
want to tell everyone who suffers with
rheumatism all about it. I wish to bo
clearly understood , and trust that all
who are suffering with this terrible
disease , however , apparently beyond
the reach of euro , will write to mo this
day aud I will send you by return mail
this work of mine. I appeal especially j
to the "chronically ill" who are wearied >
and discouraged with "doctoring" aud
to those who have boon cast aside as !
"incurable. " All yon have thought
about rheumatism may bo wrong. Let ' j
mo tell you our experience. Surely , if
yon have a suffering friend , it will pay
yon to investigate my offer , anyway , j
aud prove for yourself these claims I
make.
Send me your address today a postal
card will do and I will mail you this '
wouderfnl story. If yon have any i :
friends suffering with rheumatism no '
matter where located , send mo their
address , aud I will mail them a copy.
My address is Victor Rainbolt , Bloomfield -
