August Colds
Do people catch cold In August? They
certainly do. Colds are of frequent oc
currence, even though August Is a hot
and dry month.
But oolds and catarrh of tha head,
throat and lungs are not ao frequent In
August as during the winter months.
The catarrh of August la more apt to
attack tha stomach, bowela and kidneys.
Each one of these organs la lined with
mucous membrane, subject 'to catarrh
the same as the nose and throat.
Tha wise thing to do la to keep Ka-tar-no
In tha house, and uaa It at tha first
appearance of etomach or bowel symp
toms. Only a doe or two la necessary
at tha very beginning of these attacks.
Such derangements as colic, cholera mor
bus, dysentery. Diarrhea, are very quickly
relieved If Ka-tar-no la taken before they
become seated.
It la a prndentlaL as well as economical
thing to fortify tha homo agatna. such

"ever Storm at Cairo.
CAIRO. Neb., Aug. , (Special. )-Thts
rectlon of the country was late yesterday
afternoon visited by one of the worst
storms for several years. The first Indi
cation of the storm was a very hea y
wind, accompanied by great clouds of dust,
the ground being very dry. This was fol
lowed by one of the hardest rains ever
witnessed here, though lasting only about
half an hour, but It Is estimated that
nearly two Inches of water fell. The ruin
was accompanied by hall, which fell In
great quantities, and though small, did
some damage to the com, driven as It
was by the heavy wind. At the placa of
Mrs. John Dcrgani. half a mllo from town,
the wind assumed the form of a smntl
twister, demolishing a large barn 4x"0,
and twisting out of shapo a small r barn
close by. Lumber from the larger l-arn
was hurled for a illstanrc of several hun
dred feet. Several smaller buildings In
town "were blown down. At the elevator
of Oscar Wells A Co. the ra'ollne rouss
was picked up and hurled about forty
feet, landing on the railroad track. The
wont of the storm seems t have been
here at town and close by, as people living
out In all directions report only a small
rainfall and no hall to speak of. Corn will .
bo greatly bene filed by the rain, where It
was not too badly cut by the hail.

stay with an aunt. Owing to conditions tho
child was taken away from the aunt by

given to Mrs. A. J. Love, through whom
It was placed In the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Leonard at Lincoln. Mr. and Mrs. Leon
ard became greatly attached to the little
one and declared If tho father would re
linquish .his claims they would adopt her
and make her their heir, giving her all
tire rights she would have If she were
their own child. The father was kept In
Ignorance of the child's whereabouts while
the negotiations wero being carried on, but
he refused to sanction the proposal.
After what ho says was a long search
he located the girl and Immediately began
habeas corpus proceedings to get posses
sion of her. The case was to have come
up before Judge Troup Tuesday, but the
parties notified him there would be no
fight and the child would be allowed, to go
back to her father. She will be placed In
