12 THE BEE: OMAHA. TUESDAY. DECEMBCR 1916. 3 } — / \ ] Nebraska l 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 oforatory in the comng 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- sistants. 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 the south wall should fall or the southeast corner drop out, the floors of the building and the roof will still stand and there will be no damage done to devoted heads who have come to the legislaturec 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. State Normal Board Makes Its Estimates (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, Dec. 11.—(Special.)—The State Normal board is holding its last session of the year this afternoon, with Frank Pilger, the new member, present. In the report of the board it is shown that the following assignment of funds were made to each school from the appropriation for mainte- nance. Chadron, $85,000: Peru, $180,000; Kearney, $160,000, and Wayne, $120,- 000; a total of $545,000. According to the report it will re- quire a material increase for man- tenance for the coming biennium, due to care of increased enrollment at each school and increased cost of up-keep and repairs. The present levy of eighty-five one hundredths of a mill, should be retained is the opinion of the board. fonvict Draws Portrait; Looks Like Governor (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, Dec. 11.—(Special.)—Re- posing upon a desk in the exccutive offices is a picture of Governor More- head, a pen sktech, made by one of the prisoners at the state peniten- tiary. It is well done and indicates that there is a lot of talent lying around out at the state institution for unfortunates who happened to get caught. eyl The picture looks like the governor and has a sort of United States sen- ate expression that at once gives the impression that it was done at the penitentiary. However, the picture is well executed and indicates that the artist is of some class. = e A Ogallala Sioux Indian Couple Weds at Chadron Chadron, Neb., Dec.. 11.—(Special.) —Two full-blood Ogallala Sioux In- dians from Allen, S. D., were married by County Judge Ernest M. Slattery in his office Saturday afternoon, in the prsence of many interested wit- nesses. They were Joe Whirl Wind Horse and Bertha Bissonette. Ap- parently they appreciated the solemn- ity of the occasion and behaved with a decorum that might well be emu- lated by.their white meighbors. This was particularly noticeable in their responses to congratulations. Aurora Man Dies Suddenly. -Aurora, Neb., Dec. 11.—(Special.)— Amos Lamson, who left Aurora sev- eral months ago to take a claim in Colorado, was buried at Seward this morning. Short funeral services were held here at the home of a sister. Mr. Lamson was taken suddenly ill Awith pneumonia and died Thursday vight. Barn Burned Near Lyons. Lyons, Neb., Dec. 11.—(Special.)— ‘The barn of Victor Nelson, who re- sides several miles southeast of here, was destroyed by fire. Six horses, several cattle a=d hogs and a quantity of grain were burned. The loss was partly covered by insurance. Resinol Soap cleared mine completely Many and many a girl has a clear, healthy complexion today because some friend came to her with that sound ad- vice. Resinol Soap not only is delight- fully cleansing and refreshing, but its daily use reduces the tendency to pim- ples, offsets many ill-effects of cosmetics, and gives naturethe chance she needsto make red, rough skins white and soft. Tf the skin is in bad shape, through neglect or im- proper treatment, a little Resinol Ointment should atfirst be used with the Resinol Soap, to hasten the return to normal conditions. Resinol Soap and Res- inol Ointment are sold by all druggists. For free samples, write to Dept. 3-N, Resinol, Baltimore, Md, Notes from Beatrice And Gage County Beatrice, Neb., Dee. 11.—(Special.) —Mrs. Lydia Buck, for the last seven years a resident of Beatrice, died Sat- urday at her home here, aged 73 years. She is survived by her husband, E. C. Buck, and seven children, four sons and three daughters, Ethel Richards instituted suit for di- vorce from Walter Richards of this city Saturday. In her petition she charges the defendant with cruel treatment. Richards bas been em- ployed at the Union Pacific roupd- house for some time, and a few years ago won quite a reputation as a boxer.

Johnson County will i Retain County Assessor | Tecumseh, Neb, Dec. 11.—Spe-| cial.)—According to an opinion given by Attorney General Willis E. Reed the office of county assessor was not legally abolished at the recent elec-| tion in Johnson county. County At-| torney J. C. Moore held the same way, but asked the opinion of Mr. Reed. Not a sufficient majority vote of all ballots cast was received. Thomas Goodman, republican, was elected to the place and will quglify, Cook Boy Accidentally Shot. Tecumseh, Neb., Dec. 11.—(Spe- cial.)—Elmer Wiebke, a 14-year-old boy, living in the neighborhood of Cook, was shot in the side by a| shotgun which another boy, Earl Al- bers, was carrying. The boys were hunting when the accident happened, the gun being accidentally dis- charged in some way. Not a suffi- cient amount of the charge struck the boy to cause a fatal result.

Tt runs twenty years, and the town has the option of buying the plant every five years. Mr. Hill is to have streets well lighted. The plant is to be running on or about the first of June.

The mere drinking a cup of hot water each ‘morning, plenty of pure wa(:rlA RAWl soRE THROAI 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 }'uur_l} 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 duc to constant need of getting out of bed at night, by carrying off the uric acid i ertisement.

PLANT SOME MONEY WELL Fremont, Neb.,, Dec. 11.—(Special Telegram.)—Tom Colcord and Albert i 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. Their bonds were placed at $10,000 each. Neither of the men will talk re- ;gar(ling the crime. When asked by a newspaper man if they were not at where they ran following their escape from the marshal at Winnebago, Col- cord intimated today that it has been “planted” and that all search would prove futile. When told that 700 persons spent Sunday searching for the money, Col- cord laughed and said: “No, and 7,000 persons could not find it. Moha and Dillon Matched.

It began in pimples and the skin was red and sore, and crusted and scaled. The pimples got white and itched causing constant pain, and looked awful bad. *‘I began to treat it and it spread over half my wrist and the side of my hand. It had been on my hand about three months when I com- menced touse Cuticura Soap and Oint- ment, and in a few days it was better, and in thirty days 1 was healed sound and well.” (Signed) Chas. O. Baker, Shoals, Ind., April 22, 1916. Cuticura Soap and Cintment are not only most valuable for the treatment of pimples, blackheads, redness and rough- ness, dandruff and irritated scalps, but their great mission is to prevent such conditions. Cuticura Soap used exclu- sively for the toilet and Cuticura Oint- ment occasionally as needed guard the skin and scalp in most cases against any troubles of this kind. or Trial Free by Return Mail ad- dress post-card: ‘‘Cuticura, Dept.

It pene- trates to the sore spot with a gentle tingle, loosens the congestion and draws out the soreness and pain. Muste.role is a clean, white ointment made with oil of mustard. It is fine for quick relief for sore throat, bronchitis, tonsilitis, croup, stiff neck, asthma, neu- ralgia, headache, congestion, pleurisy, rheumatism, lumbago, pains and aches of !he_back or ioi‘nts, sprains, sore muscles, bruises, ch:]blzms, frosted feet, colds on the chest (it often prevents pneumonia). Nothing like Musterole for croupy chil- dren. Keep it handy for instant use, Tf the skin be colorless, sallow, muddy, over-red, blotchy, chapped or freckled, nothing will so surely overcome the con- dition as ordinary mercolized wax. It lit- erally takes off a bad complexion—ab- sorbs the dead and near-dead particies of cately soft and beautiful. One ounce of this wax, procurable at any drug store, will rejuvenate even the worst complex- fon. It is used like cold cream.—Adv.
