The increased vote put burden upon the
election officers which very few if any, will
care to carry again. This was especially the
case in the Third, Fourth and Fifth wards,
where the boards actually worked all day and
all night. The Fourth ward board posted its
returns at about O'Clock this morning, the
Third followed mt $3.50 and the Fifth at $
o'cloce. The second ward balletin made its
appearance at lllO and the First ward
figures were posted shortly before 2. a. m.
There has never been morning following an
election, previous to to-day when the miners
could not get the entire vote of the borough
before going to their work. A great cry has
again gone up for more voting precincts.

COSpER COUNTY'S HEAVY Loss
Treasurer Aldrich's Shortage Connected
with the Court House Fire.
DISAPPEARS AND LEAVES THE SAFE LOCKED
vaults when Opened Found TO
Contain but Five Dollars
of the County
Funds.

ELwooD. Neb.. Jan. 14.-(special)-on the
night of November IA the Gosper county court
house was burned, and suspicion at that time
attached to County Treasurer w. +. Aldrich
Some thought he was short in his accounts.
G.. A. McCloud the state examiner Of county
treasurers books, arrived on the morning of
November IA and commenced to check him
up. That night the court house was burned
and five of the treasurer's books, including
his cash book. were missing. and a large
number OF the stubs Of tax receipts that had
been issued by him. Suspicion almost be-
came a certainty. but Aldrich was allowed to
continue his duties until December Is, when
the commissioners became satisfied he was
short in his accounts and requested that he
nres gn McCloud checked him UP from the
date OF the fire and found that he had a
balance in his hands of something over $500,
which Aldrich said was in the treasurer 5
safe. He refused to open the safe, claim
ing to have forgotten the combination. The
next day he was reported crazy and was
taken before the board. which, after a full
examination, decided he was sane. He was
turned loose. and after lingering for few
days, disappeared. The safe was opened on
January 9, and was found to contain less than
$500 of county money. 1t is impossible to
tell at the present time Just how much the
defacation will be, but those who are In a
position to judge say it will not be less than
$1,000, and may reach $4,000. Among other
things missing Is the treasurer's bond, which
can nowhere be found. William e. Aldrich

night after the,i2 O'Clock train came IN

To combat this growing evil Prof. Edward
r. Phelps, NJ D.. LII. d., of Dartmouth col
iege, made nervous diseases his special study.
The fruitful outcome of his long years of pro-
fessional Investigation was Paines celery
compound Difficult nervous disorders that
had persisted despite long treatment at once
yielded to it, Men and women who had
suffered for years from broken and unre-
freshing sleep, from headaches, rheumatism
and neuralgia found that Paines celery COM
pound not only speedily cured these troubles,
but that they worked better ard felt more
encouraged than had been possible to them
for years.
AS a practical instance of what this re-
markable remedy is doing all over thte coun-
try, the following from Rev. DR.. VIM. A.
Smith, one of the best known divines in
southern New England, deserves careful
reading. DR.. Smith is today Sc years of
age. yet enjoys better health than ever in
his life, and never losees single good
nights sleep. He writes:
Dear Sirs-In my early days. by great
and prolonged mental suffering. l broke
down in health and became dyspeptic, be-
ing oblgad at one time to give up my work
IN the ministry on account of ill-health. l
am now SO years of age, and during my long
life have suffered greatly from dyspepsia,
torpid liver, constipation and insomnia, at
want of balmy sleep, and it is
alive today with all that l have been
through. am a wonder to myself and to
those who witness my habits and know my
age. l tell them that / try to obey the
laws Of nature and that / take Paine's celery
compound whenever | need 1t.
"By the use If several bottles of Paines
celery compound l have so far recovered my
health as to consider myself well man for
my age. 1t regulates the liver, stomach
and bowels without any question. My ap-
petite is now good. my sleep is refreshing,
my liver active and bowels regular. and my
crutches not needed, as | can walk without
staff People are surprised at my i'm
proved appearance and activity. Crate
fully yours,
"WAI. A. SMITH"
Paine'a celery compound does not stop its
restoring work till new healthy tissues have
taken the place of the old, shattered por-
tions. There Is not the deepest, the most
minute portion OF the body, whether 1t be
nerve or brain or some vital organ, that es-
capes the rejuvenating, strengthening power
of Paine's celery compound. In cases OF
severe neuralgia rheumatism, heart palpi-
tation, dyspepsia and nervous feebleness
Paine's celery compound 10 the only remedy
that goes to the root Of the trouble, foftife9
the weakened system against these disorders
