ably filled last night with tboae who came
to expreas their disapproval of the action
taken agalnat Sunday bass ball by the

talked a subscription was called for and
In a few minutes nearly f$00 bad been
paid In or pledged.
The committee appointed at that meet

to the fund. It la said that the managers

HASTINGS, Neb., July 15. (Special Tele
gram.) A couple of counterfeiters struck
Hastings yesterday and succeeded In ex
changing several spurious coins for the
genuine article.
One of them entered C. A. Shlrey's res
taurant during the absence of the proprietor
and aaked for change for a $10 gold piece.
The little girl behind the counter gave him
the correct change and was handed what ap
peared to be a $10 gold piece. When the
proprietor returned and noticed the coin In
the draw ho tested tt and found It to be
counterfeit. The police were notified, but
the counterfetera had made their escape.
It seems that thero are two or three In
the gang and that they make it a point to
pass off their spurious coins on women
and little girls. Ths coin Is Just the
weight of a $5 dollar gold piece and Is
dated 1898. ...

NEBRASKA CITT, Neb., July 15. (Spe

and the building marred and bedaubed by
bottles of Ink that were thrown at random
about the rooms. The principal's office
was torn all to pieces and the furniture
broken. So far aa can be learned nothing
waa taken. It la thought that It Is ths
work of boys who bad a grudge against
someone connected with the school.

ONLY SERVE AS A MASK FOR
CONTAGIOUS BLOOD POISON
They hide its repulsive form, and this serpent disease,
Stupefied by these drugs, lies dormant until the effects have
worn off or treatment is discontinued, when it breaks down
tne mask and becomes as full of life and venom ns ever. Mercury and Fotash
may dry ttptlie Fores and eruptions, but at the same time they drive th
poison back into the blood and system, where it feeds tipon the tender tissues,
membranes and nerves, finally breaking out in most disgusting sores ana
even destroying the flesh and bones.
Mercury and Totash cannot accomplish a radical and permanent cure.
They have a palliative but not curative effect upon this treacherous snake
like disease. These drugs prodvee mercurial Rheumatism, destroy the teeth
and corrode the membranes of the stomach and bowel3, causing inflammation
and dyspepsia, nervousness and general derangement of the system.
