West and Mr. and Kierntloa of Will Mettled la Otoe County Twrnty-evea Years x Ago and Xetv Conten tion Arises. Hedwig Hermann, Matilda Gregar, Eliza Lipskl, Hermlne, Rudolph, Philliplna, Emil ! Blehl and Helen and Lucy Slchl, minors, ail j of Edgar, Bohemia, and Hugo Slchl, a citizen i of Missouri, have brought suit In the United States circuit court against Jacob Slchl of Otoe county. Neb., for accounting as ad ministrator and executor of the estate of Marcus Slchl. who' died In Otoe county February 12. 1SS0. The complainants are children of one, j Solomon Slchl, except, Fhilliplna Slchl, who I is the widow of Solomon Slchl. Solomon ! Sirhl, died intestate In Bohemia a few years ago and his estate In, Austria has j been administered and closed. j Marcus Sichl, who died In 1SS0 In Otoe : county, was a brother of Solomon Slchl and he bequeathed to Solomon the sum of $8,000. Jncob Slchl was made administrator i of the estate of Marcus, who died solvent and no part of the $8,000 cash was needed to pay any debts of Marcus' estate. Estate Finally Settled. The estate was finally settled and the executor discharged by the probate court of Otoe county and In May, 10. Jacob Sichl remitted 14,000 to Solomon Sichl In Austria. He claimed that the other $4,000 had been Unvested In good Interest bearing securities and sent a blank receipt to Solomon to sign In order that the estate might be closed. ' Solomon believed In Jacobs' asser tions and signed the receipts. Jacob occa sionally sent Solomon small sums of money, claiming that they were interest payments on the investment of the H.onn. Finally these payments of alleged Interest ceased and Solomon made repeated demands for the Interest or principal, to which demands Jacob paid no attention. Finally Solomon Slchl died and his heirs set about to In vestigate "Jacob's story of the Investment of the $4,000 and found that no such Invest ments had been made, but that Jacob had originally absorbed the $4,000 and the pre tended Interest payments were simply a subterfuge and that Jacob had sought to defraud the heirs absolutely out of the $4,000. Suit is now brought to compel Jacob Slchl to make a full accounting of his ex ecutorshlp and to reveal where the alleged Investment of the $4,000 wet made. If made at all, and to pay over to the heirs of Solo mon Slchl ths $4,000 wrongfully and fraud ulently withheld from them by him. Gone, bnt Not Forgotten. A man who through the courtesy of a high railroad official traveled for yean all over the country wherever pleasure oi his business took him on a pass carriej a neat gold-edged case, one side of which J was arranged to hold his "annual." Thlt could be seen through a piece of trans parent celluloid, and handling by the con ductor was thus avoided. The man still carries the card case, but there Is no pass In the place where there was one for a long time. Instead there Is a white card bearing the picture of a massive tomb stone, on which Is Inscribed: ' o ,.o PASS. Gone but Fondly Remembered.

WLNSLOW'S SOOTULNQ tti'Rl'F Found that at Least One Thousand Dollars ot Pledves Hade Last Year Cannot Be Redeemed. A gain of $1,582 for the Young Women's Christian association building fund since Thursday noon Is the gratifying accom plishment of the soliciting teams, but only a little over half of the necessary 116,000 has been pledged and only three more days of the campaign remain. The announce ment that $15,000, in addition to the $85,000 pledged last spring, would be required to complete the $100,000 necessary for the at- soclatlon building has been confusing to ; many, but the women will have to raise , this amount to cover shrinkage. It Js known that at least $1,000 of the pledges made last year cannot be paid. While the main headquarters are still In the association rouns In the Paxton block, the five teams have opened head quarters In different stores and are work ing hard.

The refuse and waste matter of tha body is. not carried out a3 nature intends, but is left to ferment and sour and generate uric acid, which is absorbed into the blood. The first evidence of Rheumatism is usually little wandering pains in the muscles and joints, or a tender, sensitive place on the flesh. These are often so slight that nothing is thought of them and they pass away; but with each recurrence the trouble becomes more severe, and from slight wandering pains and excited nerves. Rheumatism grows to be a painful and almost costant trouble. The longer the poison remains in the blood the firmer hold the trouble gets on the sys tem. Each day the acid deposit is increasing and the disease grows worse from year to year. After awhile the joints become coated with a corrosive substance which seriously interferes with their working and movements and sometimes they become permanently stiff and useless. S. S. S. cures Rheumatism by going down into the blood and attacking the disease at its head. It neutralizes the'poisons and acids and dissolves the salts and irritating deposits, making the blood stream pure, fresh and healthy. S. S. S is made entirely of roots, herbs and barks, and is therefore a safe remedy. When the blood has been purified by S. S. S.. the oains and aches pass awsiy, and the cure is permanent.
