PROF. PERRY'S ADDRESS,
A Good Document to Circulate.

In cur WEEKLY of this week will be
found, complete, the admirable address of
Prof. Perry, at the Nebraska State Fair.
No better document can be found to cir
cuate among the people. 1t is not party
address or delivered with a view to any
party interest, but no one can read it with
out coming to the conclusion that the In
dependent Reform party candidates in this
state come nearer to its requirements than
any other-unless it be on the candidate for
treasurer. For that office Mr.. Carroll holds
the more correct views upon the one ques-
ton of finance
Our readers will do we'll to circulate it
among their Republican neighbors. Extra
copies can be had at this Office.

The Graves Of Early Settlers.

Last evening, among the arrivals by
Capt. T. G.. Martindale's Western Union
train, were Mr.. d. L. Sterling, of Phila.
delphia, and Mrs. Whaling, Of Milwaukee,
wife of the auditor of the Milwaukee g.
st. Paul. Western Union, and other roads
in that interest. Mr.. Sterling and his SIS
ter Mrs Whaling) were in search of the
graves of their father and uncle, who died
here in 1889, and they asked Conductor
Martindale about his knowledge of the
place and its early settlers. Capt. Martin
dale referred them to either Judge Spen-
Ger or DIR. Gregg as the most likely per-
sons to give them correct information. On
their arrival they stopped at the Harper
House, and, through Mr.. Harper, they
made the acquaintance of DR.. Gregg who
informed them that he was by the bedside
of both gentlemen when they died, and
that the bodies we're burned in the little
burying ground just back Of the late Wm
Dickson's residence. on the Milan road
To-day Mr.. Sterling and his sister went
to Milan, and Col. Dickson went with them
and showed them the graves.
Maj. Daniel Sterling THE father of Mr..
D. i. and Mrs. Whaling, was contractor
on the government canal then being built
on Vandruff's Island and died, in 1899, in
a shanty on that island. where he had a
large force of men at work Dr. Gregg
attended him, as also his brother Isaac,
who died month or two before him, at
the same place. Maj, Sterling was the
original owner of the town of Sterling, in
county, and for whom the town
was named
1t is probable that the remains of both
brothers will be removed to Philadelphia.

Reasons why they Only
should be Used!

THEIR REPUTATION is ESTABLISHED.
Thousands of testimonials have been received
showing that these POWDERS have performed
miracles In curing cases of long standing, many
them considered hopeless.
THERE is NO RISK IN TAKING THEM.
They contain nothing injurious, and, therefore
cause none of the lingering diseases so often the
result OF the many nostrurns of the day. Physicians
recommended them superior to Quinine or any
other known remedy, for they leave the system in a
healthy state, and the patient beyond the probable
ity OF q relapse.
