Mow weak
the soap and water seems when you begin
your washing ! You don't get any strength
out of it till the work is about done.
Plenty of hard work and rubbing
and wear and tear , even then but
more of it at the beginning ; when
the water is weakest.
Now with Pearline , the water is just as
strong at the beginning as at the end.
This is one of the reasons ( only one ) why
Pearline acts so much better than soap , in all
washing and cleaning. Use no soap with it.

11 and 1.1 years old , .went Into the woods
to hunt for game In' Macon county. The
boys carried n gun aplcco and wandered
away so far that they could not find the
w Ron again. Tliclr parents searched the
neighborhood for them and waited there
sovtral weeks , hut the lost children could
not be found. When the Conkmans returned
to Indiana without the children the report
soon spread that they had mtmlcrcl the
boys. The parents were almost crazed
by prlcf and advertised far and
wldo for them. Several weeks
ago they started bnck to Macon county ,
where they had lost their children , and about
the time they started an advertisement sent
out by Cookmnn fell Into the hands cf Farmer
SkagRS and ho sent a letter to them at Ander
son. The letter was opened there and Conk-

but could never find It again. At night they
stopped at farm houses and told thiv'r Etory.
At many places they were looked upon n.i
runaway boys , and one farmer detained them
several days while ho searched ths neighbor

Now Union Depot.
The manufacturers of Omaha , and for that
matter of the whole state , as the manufac
turers of Nebraska are all banded together ,
are preparing to bring forward very strong
arguments In favor of building the proposed
Omaha depot of brick Instead of stono. i
Those people who prefer stone to brick , or
Imvo an Idea that a utono building la moro
Imposing , are talking that nothing will "bo
good enough for the now depot but Dtone.
The manufacturers take the ground that
brick Is better than stone for several reasons.
The strong argument of the manufacturers
lo that by ni'lng Omaha brick nine-tenths
of the money expended for the new depot
would remain In this city.
The manufacturers siy further that the
tlmo Is passed whnn Omaha can afford to
throw any money over Itu shoulder and the
laboring men cf Omaha need work too badly
to allow Mich a large building to bo con
structed out of any other than Nebraska
material.
