which Is a fall of .4 of a foot since last

crisis Is passed.
President Klllough of the 8t. Francis le
vee board this afternoon succeeded In send
ing a large bsrge through the crevasse at
Trice's Landing for the rescue of stock

Hugo was dispatched to the crevasse later
with a commission to enter the flooded ter
ritory and render assistance.

tlons of an Irregular nature having carried
It as high as 20 feet during the day. All
indications now point to the fact that the

Next week promises to be a busy one with
the Scottish Rite Masons of the orient of
Omaha, for the annual reunion will take
place beginning Tuesday morning and clos
ing with a banquet Friday night. The sec
retary has received from all parts of the
state a large number of petitions and the
class will be one of the largest ones In the
history of the rite In Nebraska. The pro
gram for the week Is as follows:
Mount Merlah lodge of Perfection will
assemble at 9:30 o'clock Tuesday morning,
and beginning at 10 o'clock will confer or
communicate the degrees from the fourth
to the fourteenth Inclusive. This wlU take

charge of L. P. Funkhouser, who will pre
side. The first part of the speaking will of
necessity be extemporaneous, as the first
toast will be "The Novitiates Our Impres
sions." There are a number of ellver
tongued orators who are to pass through
the rella which cover the mysteries of the
Scottish Rite degrees this week for the
first time and It Is expected that, as a num
ber of thess self-confessed orators are of
a very sensitive disposition, thst their Im
pressions will be told with more than aver
age ability, after being received witn mucn
more than average Intensity.
Following these Impressions W. 8. Sum
mers will essay to tell of "Our Duties as

Gentlemen Some two years ago I was so rnn down that I lacked strength, had no appe
tite and could not sleep nights. Honietimes it seemed as though my back would break in two
after stooping. I had to get up many times during the night to urinate and go often during
the day. After having the best physicians prescribe for me without relief, 1 decided from my
symptoms that the medicine I needed was Dr. Kilmer's Kwauip-Koot, the great kidney, liver
and bladder remedy. After trying a sample bottle with good results, I purchased six bottles
of the regular size, and after taking them was entirely cured. twamp-Koot is a wonderful
remedy when a man is not feeling well, after exposure or loss of sleep and irregular meals. It
I is also a great medicine to tone up a mau's system. Other members of the police force are
using and recommending Swamp-Uoot. They, like myself, cannot say too much in praise of
this great remedy.
The officers (whose signatures accompany this letter), as well as myself, thank you for the
good you have accomplished in the compounding of Swamp-Koot.

If you are sick or "feel badly," begin taking the famous
new discovery. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Boot, because as soon as
your kidneys are well they will help all the other organs to
health. A trial will convince anyone.
Weak and unhealthy kidneys are responsible for more sick
ness and suffering than any other disease, therefore, when
through neglect or other causes, kidney trouble is permitted to
continue, fatal results are sure to follow. Kidney trouble Ir
ritates the nerves, makes you dizzy, restless, sleepless and ir
ritable. Makes you pass water orten during the day and
obliges you to get up many times during the night. Unhealthy
kidneys cause rheumatism, gravel, catarrh of the bladder, pain
or dull ache in the back, Joints and muacles; makes your bead
ache and back ache, causes Indigestion, stomach and liver
trouble; you get a sallow, yellow complexion, makes you feel as
though you had hoart troable; you may have plenty of ambi
tion, but no strength: get weak and waste awsy.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is used in the leading
hospitals, recommended by physicians in their private practice
and is taken by doctors themselves, becsuse they recognize In
it the greatest and most tuccesBful remedy that science hai
ever been able to compound.
EDITORIAL NOTICE Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy, is so remarkably successful that a
speal arrangement ha. been made by which all ut our readers who have not already tried It may have

A prominent manufacturer has offered a
prize of one thousand dollars tor the best
essay on preventive medicine, "believing
tnat a proper exercise of preventive raedl
cine is of Incalculable benefit to the human
race." The tendency of medical science Is
toward preventive measures. The best
thought cf the world Is being given to the
subject. It Is sasler and better to prevent
than to cure. It has been fully demon
strated that pneumonia, oae of the moat
dangerous diseases that medical men have
to contend with, can be prevented by the
use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
Pneumonia always results from a cold or
from an attack of Influenza (grip), and It'
has been observed that this remedy counter'
acts any tendency of these diseases towsrd
pneumonia. This has been fully proven In
many thousands et eases In which this
remedy has been used during ths great pre
valence of colds and grip in recent years,
and It can be relied upon with Implicit con-
ers. The first prizes were won by Mrs.
Catherine Leader and Mr. Ralph Tut tie;
