Harvey Mast Pay Tip.
Ceclle Ross Harvey secured a verdict In
the supreme court against William H. Har
vey, Mary B. Harvey and Arthur P. Har
vey for alienating the affections of her
husband, George D. Harvey. The court af
firmed the decision of the lower court.
The woman was an employe of the Har
veys and all lived together on the Harvey
ranch In Keya Paha county. She claimed'
George Harvey was tha father of her child
slon of the Insurance tax money due them.
J. C. Elliott of West Point stated that
this matter had been settled at a meeting
five years ago. He said that the law
specifically stated that this money should
go to the benefit of Are departments and
not city councils.
Quite a number of delegates from various
towns and villages reported that Insurance
agents paid the money to the city coun
cils all right, but they refused to turn It
over to the firemen. The duty of the fire
men In that case, Mr. Elliott said, was to
mandamus the city council or village
board, and compel them to turn the money
over'. On the other hand, if a fire insur
ance company refuses to pay the tax, the
matter can be brought before the state
auditor, and the oompany speedily brought
to time, as Its license to do business could
be revoked.
After roll call the convention adjourned

Morrison will be transferred to some other
point and the building removed. The clos

BEWARE OF BOGUS GOODS!
Unscrupulous dealers, mindful only of profit and caring
nothing for the health of their customers, are offering for sale
low-Krade, impure whiskey, which they call Duffy's Malt
Whiskey. - ,
It Is a bogus whiskey and a fraud, intended to decelT
the people.
Of course, when a remedy has lieen before the public so
long, has been prescribed and used by the best doctors and
In all the prominent hospitals, and ha carried the blessing
of health Into so many thousands of homes as DUFFY'S PURH
MALT WHISKEY haa. Imitations are bound to arise. Butthty
can imitate th bottle and label only no one can imitatt the content.
DUFFY'S PURE MALT WHISKEY
is a formula worked out fifty yeara ago by one of the greatest
chemists the world has ever known, and while It haa cured
millions of people during the last half century, the secret haa
never been discovered.
Any firm that will sell imitation goods will sell Impure
drugs. The Arm that is dishonest in one thing would not hes
itate to be dishonest in another. Whenever you see Imitation
goods with the Arm's name on, beware of anything and every
thing put up by that firm. You endanger your own life and
the lives of your family and friends by dealing with them.
Noted Chicago Physician and Chemist
Commends Duffy's.
Dr. E. M. Eidherr, after severe and exhaustive tests of
samples of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, reports It to be per
fectly pure, free of coloring matter, wood spirits and fusel oil,
and recommends It in all cases for youug and old whera aa
effective tonic is required.
In his original report he says:
"The samples of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey submitted to my
laboratory for chemical examination were found perfectly pure and en
tirely free of amyl and methyl alchohols (fusel oil and wood spirits),
and also devoid of coloring matter. Comparative tests have been made
with samples of Duffy's Malt Whiskey, bought from different drug
stores in this city, with the same result. On basis of these examina
tions. I pronounce your preparation as an excellent tonlo-stlmulant,
tissue builder and Invlgorator, which can be used by young and old
for wasting diseases, nervous debility, loss of appetite and. In short. In
all cases where an effective tonic is required."

Farmer Fools Straagers.
PLATTSMOUTH. Neb., Jan. lS.-(Spe.

of a weulthy farmer in Mount Pleasant
precinct, In this county, and one asked
ot the farmer many questions concerning
the number ot his family and their ages.
his crops, the number of cattle, horses.
hogs, sheep nnd agricultural implements
he owned. They Informed him that they
were taking the census for the govern
ment. The shrewd old farmer noticed that
there were two sheets of paper, one under
the other, on which one had written down
the answers to the questions, and he
could not quite understand why It should
require three men to do the work ot one,
so he became fully convinced that they
I were trying to "work" him, and would
kot sign the paper as requested. The
strangers then took their departure. The
farmer, who declined to allow his name
to appear In print, learned that the
strangers did not visit any other farmer In
that neighborhood. One farmer in each
vicinity whose note Is aa good as gold In
any bank was all they cared to visit.
