HE IS THEN BADLY CUT UP
Telegraph Operator Martin of the
Missouri Pacific at Strausville, a flag
(tation three miles this side of Falls
tity, was badlyJaten up at 2 o'clock
Friday morning by two unknown men.
The presumption is that the men in
tended to hold up passenger train No.
JOS, due to pass Strausville at about
ifclS o'clock.
Strausville is just a semaphore sta
tion, only an operator being kept
there and he occupying a box car set
off beside the tracks. Just before 2
o'clock, looking out ot the window
of the box car, Martin noticed two
men working with the north end of
.1 : U C.i . K k I rr lantern hp
U1C owinu. uiouuihb ...........
went out wnere tftey were, as ne ap-
roached one of them struck hun
over tne ncaa wuh uh ui ,
knocking him down. His lantern was
taken away from him. and with this
he was struck in the face several
times, inflicting some painful flesh
wounds. The men then ran off into a
field to the east, leaving Martin nearly
unconscious.
Weak from loss of blood and suffer
ing intense pain, Martin crawled back
to his-car and commenced working
the wires, notifying agents along the
line of what had happened. He
stopped No. 105 when it came along
and was taken aboard and brought to
Nebraska City.
The Strausville siding is one of the
most lonely places along the river
line of the Missouri Pacific. It is on
the edge of the woods and is nearly
a half mile from any house, there be
ing nothing there but the dismounted
box car that houses the telegraph
operator.

PIMPLY? WELL, DON'T BE!
People Notice It Drive Them Off
with Dr. Edwards' w
Olive Tablets ,
A pimply face will not embarrass yon
much longer if you get a package of Dr.
Edwards' Olive Tablets. The skin
should begin to clear after you have
taken the tablets a few nights.
Cleanse the blood, the bowels and die
liver with Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets,
the successful substitute for calomel
there's never any sickness or pain after
taking them.
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets do that
which calomel does, and just ai effec
tively, but their action is gentle and
safe instead of severe and irritating.
No one who takes Olive Tablets is
ever cursed with "a dark brown taste,"
a bad breath, a dull, listless, "no good"
feeling, constipation, torpid liver, bad
disposition or pimply race.
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets are a
purely vegetable compound mixed with
olive oil; you will know them by their
olive color. '
Dr. Edwards spent years among pa
tients afflicted with liver and bowel
complaints, and Olive Tablets are the
immensely enective result.
