THE BEE: OMAHA. TUESDAY. OECRMBR VI. 1910. 3 Nebraska CHAMBER PROPPED UP READY FOR SESSION House Quarters Is Filed With Poles and Huge Timbers to Provide for Safety. APPROPRIATION APPEALS (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, Dec. 11. (Special.) The work of strengthening the walls of representative hall so that the rever berations bforatory in the com'.ng ses sion will not shake down the old wing, is finished and it will now be safe for Colonel Henry Clay Richmond to hibernate this winter at the state house, thanks to the work of his fel low co-laborer, Jim Craddock and State Engineer Johnson and his as- slstants. I From the speakers' throne around to the left and across the south end of the chamber arise hugh timbers placed so that their end go through ' the ceiling and rest under the roof $ timbers, holding up the roof. In case 't the south wall should fall or the I southeast corner drop out, the floors Laaaa of the building and the roof will still r stand and there will be no damage done to devoted heads who have come to the legislature to make a record. While it does not look handsome, it will stand an expressive testimonial of how much Nebraska needs a state , house and the legislator who is so hard hearted as not to be moved to ' tears when he looks upon it, and opens up for a fine appropriation for a new one, will probably be in a minority position.

The mere drinking a cup of hot water each 'morning, plenty of pure water all day, and a little Anuric before every meal has been found the most effective means of overcoming kidney trouble. Death would occur if the kidneys did not work day and night in separating poisons and uric acid from the blood. The danger signals are backache, depressions, aches, pains, heaviness, drowsiness, irritability, headaches, chilliness, rheumatic twinges, swollen joints, gout. It is such a simple matter to step into your favorite drug store and ob tain Anuric, which was first discov ered by Dr. Pierce of the Surgical In stitute, Buffalo, N. Y. Every drug gist dispenses it. All people in America, and es pecially those who are past middle age, are prone to eat too much meat and in consequence deposit uric acid (uratic salts) in their tissues and joints. They often suffer from twinges of rheumatism or lumbago, sometimes from gout, swollen hands or feet. Such people arc not always able to exercise sufficiently in the out door air in order to sweat freely and excrete impurities through the skin. Anuric will overcome such conditions as rheumatism, dropsical swellings, cold extremities, scalding and burn ing urjne and sleeplessness due to constant need of getting out of bed at night, by carrying off the uric acid poison.

Tom Colcord and Albert Louis Assman, in the county jail here on the charge of robbing the Wins low State bank at Winslow, Friday afternoon, pleaded not guilty to the charge in Justice Kidder's court here today, waived preliminary hearing and were bound over to the district court.

When asked by a newspaper man if they were not at Hooper for dinner the day of the rob bery, Colcord replied that he had never been in that part of the country. After telling County Attorney-elect J.
