There is poetic justice in the fact that Cervera

The youngest and most bustling city
in the United States
Founded last April, Lincoln boasts
sewerage system, electric lights, macad-
amizsd roads, trolley cars, telephone
franchise and n water plant.
From a hamlet to u town-to city, in
this incredibly short time. Lincoln has
grown with the wonderful progressive
ness looked for only In the west-a
splendid example OF the indomitable per-
tinacity of one strong man.
Like most forceful men, Mayor Drake
must gee results before giving his ap-
proval; but when convinced he speaks
out his mind without fear or favor of
anv one
There is no hesitation among Mayor
brakes friends In say ing that Paine's
celery compound has been of tue utmost
help in enabling MIN TO do prodigious
amount Of work and to get rid of that
insomnia that at one time resulted from
every prolonged effort oiayor Drake
himself says: t.

SILAS ID. DRAKE.
Nothing dem oralizes tho health sooner
or mora completely than even the occa-
siopAl loss bf sleep. 10 start new day
with the brain unrefreshed Is like trying
To keep u worn OUT horse up TO his work
with she whip instead Of by feeding. he
incessant brain activity is as III the skull
were laid bare and the surface OF the
brain were struck lightly every few sec
onds and withouJ n sign of "let up.
Thus sleeplessness imperceptibly, but
no less surely, destroys the brsin cells
that are the sources of mental power and
the health OF overy organ Of the body.
paine's celery compound gets the Der'
vous system out of this dangerous rut of
sleeplessness. 1t supplies nourisnment to
the nervous tissues faster than they are
worn out, and does not let the nutrition
of these delicate parts get low enough To
bring on insomnia.
One OF the earliest evidences OF the
final success of Paine's celery compound
in curing debility, nervousness, sleepless-
ness and arrangements of liver and kid
neys Is the increased appetite the cl carer

OF health, n feeling OF ''weIl being" that

The first reminder OF thu controversy
between two big corporations came when
Councilman Sheahans from the committee
on lamps reported a resolution to con-
tract for furnishing lights for Francis
street and the approaches To the new pas
senger station. The resolution encun-
bered the cles of the committees, and the
new membe OF the committee, wishing
10 get rid Of 10, recommended its In
definite postponement and the passage OF
a substitute one. -
Councilman Bullock moved that the
whole matter be referred to the COM
mittes on train sheds, and the motion
Was seconded.
Councilman Sheahan thought the train
shed committee had business enough on
it's hands, and said n petition for the
oreping of Francis street ut once would
be presented during the meeting which
petition was signed by many heavy tax :
payers. and II the street was opened 1t
must bo lighted.
Councilman Bullock said be saw no
reason why the matter should not be re-
ferred to the committee no had suggested.
Counoilmen Gardiner. Davis. Cooke and
Burdick supported Councilman Shea
hans contention, and Councilman Bull
lock withdrew his motion of reference.
Councilman Sisson opposed the resolU-
tion because he said II was fact that
the city WAS paying 40 per cent too
much Tor its electric lights, aud hs
thought it bad policy TO contract for q
term OF years at the present rate. Coun-
Gilman Cooke asked II there was any OBJ
lection to limiting the term to that Of
the present contract
necessary as no contract would be- made
Tor new lights to extend beyond the time
of the present contract The resolution
was passed by vote OF 80 to 3.

ford Railroad COMPANY, 10 confer with
them in relation to the train shed prob.
lem, and when he accepted this invita-
tion tho committee had strong hopes that
something would he accomplished. but
they were verv much disappointed at the
result of this conference. The president
OF tbe Con olidated road was asked II he
would actept the city plan for train sheds
or any modification thereof, and he do
clined not only To consider said plau or
mod itication of it, but also TO consider
with tho committee any plans for the
solution OF this vexatious question. His
attitude was opposition TO any plan that
embraced the single span idea OF con-
struction, thus avoiding forest OF posts
in so large structure. Indeed, after u
spirited discussion, the committees
ELECTED from him the positive statement
that he would not accept any plan OF the
single arch style.
The president Of this company also led
your COMMITTEES to believe that there was
no hope Of "a settlement OF this contro.
Versy except bv n further recourse To the
supreme Court. and that he would moi
accept anything except the old style OF
platform shelters which he mad preyi.

ell had unanimously relected. MIR. Clark
also said that he would build whatever he
was ordered ~ huild-presumsbly mCan-
