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.

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

quarters In different stores and are work

MEUMATISM
WORSE FROM YEAR TO YEARl
The cause of Rheumatism is an excess of uric acid in the blood, brought
on by indigestion, chronic constipation, weak kidneys and a general slug
gish condition of the entire system. 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. ' liook on Rheumatism, and
