Harriet b, wife of Albert B Per
singer.
No woman in Western Nebras-
Sa stood higher in the estimation

Ofcheerful, unselfish disposition,
her one aim seemed to be that of
making the lives of those around
her brighter and better. Her
warmest friends were those who
knew her best, and to each one the
shock of her sudden death was
like personal loss.
BY her death the community
loses one of it's brightest aud
most public-spirited members.
Since her arrival here as a bride
over ten years ago, she has taken
an active part in all that tended
toward the improvement and up
lifting of the people, while in
school aud other educational
movements sho was always on the
side of advancement. The Public
Library is one enduring monu-
ment of her ability, as it is large

port that it has been kept up un-
til today it is one of the best Ii
braries in this part of the state.

AS a school girl here, Miss
Burkhardt had often expressed
the wish to her intimate girl

she passed to her eternal home.

Itseems that the above aftida.

members of the city council
should settle the question Of the
enforcement Of mulct law il The
petition is carried. Every maj
signing the affidavit is man o1
good standing and reliable il
every respect in this community
and every one will now know tha
the law will be enforced.
The best interests of Missouri
Valley demand that the petition
carry, and it stands every man il
hand, who believes in the prosper
ity of this city, to sign the petit
ion and help see that the law ii
enforced. Under the old methot
of boot-legging in this city, ther
was no control of the liquor bust
ness, but now, the people believ
that the business should be pu
under the regulations of the mule
law, the city receives the licens
and the eternal row that has bee
kept up in this city stopped. I
you want the saloons regulate'
according to law put your nam
to the petition: and the above aft
davit assures you that the la,
will be enforced. Sign the pe
tition.
AS moral question, the ope
saloon is better than the bootleg
ger. When the saloon is opera
ted under the provisions of til
mulct law, it is bound by safe
guards that the boot-legger know
nothing Of. In many temperate
counties in the state the petitio
has been carried and the saloo

the cause, a little germ--and that is
Newbro's IIeIpicide. This germ eats
its way into the scalp, down to the
hair root, where it ssps that vitality,
causing dandrutf as it digs up the
scalp into little white scales. Unless
it is destroyed there's no permanent
