Unregistered Rond Presentea
A Pennsylvania bank has bought a $1,000
bond issued by the city of Beatrice In 1900,
bearing t per cent Interest, which has not
been registered in the office of the auditor,
The bond was sent to the First National
bank of this city for registration and was
brought to the auditor's office this morn
ing. The bond was one of an Issue of
nlnty-seven bonds, fifty-five of which were
for $1,000 each, twenty-two $100 each, one
$97 and one $248. This is shown by the bond,
Some of the coupons had been clipped from
the bond and It bore the appearance of
having been legally signed by the mayor
and the city clerk of Beatrice. None of
the bonds, however, had ever been regis
tered in the office of the auditor and there
Is fear that the bond is a forgery. The
bank has. taken the matter up with the
officials of Beatrice.
Honara Are Costly.
James Allen, who until recently was
freight agent of the Missouri Pacific at
this place. Is finding out an honorary mem
bershlp In the Lumber Dealers' association
comes high. Mr. Allen with others organ
ised a cement and builders' material asso
ciation and a lawyer was busy at work
drawing up articles of Incorporation pre
paratory to the company launching Into
business. Before the articles had been filed
Mr. Allen received a notice from the Btate
Lumber Dealers' association that he had
been elected to honorary membership. On
the same mall came a notice that the at'
torney general had named him as one of
the defendants In the lumber dealers' case,
Mr. Allen's attorneys do not expect the
legal department to push the case against
him and In the meantime have suggested to
Mr. Allen that he can refuse to accept the
honor of being an honorary member of
the association.

FROM SPANISH PRISON COMES PLEA
Widow Rets Letter Asking Passage
Money for Alleged Heiress. .
YORK, Neb., May 6. (Special.) A let
ter addressed to the late William L. Mor
gan of this city was recently received by
his widow, who has forwarded the letter
to a brother of Mr. Morgan who is In tho
employ of the Bank of England. The let
ter recites that the writer is In prison
in the Castle of ' Barracas, having been
condemned to eighteen years penal servi
tude for soma trumped-up political crime
and that he is kept in the darkest dun
geons In the subterranean depths of that
famous prison. The writer is . Emlllo
Laporte, who claims to be a distant rela
tive of L. L. Morgan. He writes that he
had salted down a big fortune In Europe
for the benefit of a daughter, a pure Cas
tilllan. In speaking of his arrest he says that
after the war In Cuba he went to Spain
to see this lovely daughter, when Weyler
sent him to a dungeon with two crusti
of bread and a jug of dirty water 'to live
on. and but for the kindness of the prlsou
chaplain he would pot be alive to write
about himself. His baggage. In which is
his deposit book, is held by the Spanish
authorities as security for hla prison ex?
penaes and he Is trying to secure the
services of the chaplain to obtain posses
sion of the pass book, so that he can buy
a ticket for tbe daughter to America
and to Nebraska. His only object Is to
get the daughter to York, where he knows
she will be taken care of, and leave her
and Mr. Morgan his great fortune. It
will be necessary to buy the daughter
suitable clothea In which to travel, and
If the Morgans here will send $1,000 or
more he can arrange with the chaplain
NO MAN .5 STRONdER THAN

Let the greatest athlete have dyspepsia
and his muscles would soon fail. Physi
cal strength is derived from food. If a
man ha insnftoient food be lose strength.
II he bas no food he dies, good Is con
verted Into nutrition through the stom
ach and bowela. It depends on the
strength of the stomach to what extent
food eaten Is digested and assimilated.
People cao die of starvation who have
abundant food to eat when tbe stomach
and Its associate org sn of digestion and
nutrition do not perform their duty.
Thus the stomach 1b realty the vital or-
?an of the body. If the stomach is "weak
ho body will be weak also, because It is
upon the stomach the body reliex for its
Umigth. And aa the body, oonttiiieretl us
a whole. Is made up of It several mem
bers and organs, so the weakness of the
body as a consequence of "weak" stom
ach will be distributed among the or
gans which compose the body. If the
body is weak because it Is ill-nonrlshed
that physical weakness will be found tu
all the organs heart, liver, kidneys, etc.
The liver will be wrpld and inactive,
giving rise to biliousness, loss of appetite,
weak nerves, feeble or Irregular action of
heart, palpitation, dizziness, headache,
backache and kindred disturbances ica
weaknesses.
