OF a mile east Of Tanks, and about three
miles northwest Of the place on the Davis
land where coal was first found. The farm
lies on the ridge Of the bluffs, between
the Maple Creek and the Platte valley.
The land between the two streams is roll
ing and cut up considerable by ridges and
~ravines, most OF them running towards the
Platte. Up to last week the land was held
at SIS per acre and 10 as good as can be
found in Nebraska
Looks Like Paying Mine.
The Indications are that Mr.. Remedies
~ten-foot vein is in such a formation as Is
found in good paying mines in Iowa and
Kansas. tn fact that It lies below a
black slate rock and the borings from the
drill indicate that its upper line is clearly
defined, are regarded by those familiar
with coal mines as exceptionally good in
dieations. When Brown quit work Satur-
day the drill was down about ten feet
below the coal, and in a hard rock clay
formation. He will go down some dis
lance further In the hopes OF striking an
other vein. He uses the usual two-inch
tubular well auger, so that the borings are
pretty fine when they reach the sur
face, the largest pieces Of coal being about
the size OF a walnut.
The finding Of ccal was not a surprise.
Some distance above. the borings had fine
fragments of coal for a few inches, fol-
lowed by the usual gravel. Next came
eight inches OF black slaty rock. which Mr..
Brown says ciogged the drill and made
them considerable trouble. When the
borinss showed more coal Mr.. Brown
thought IL was a third stringer. but az
the borings continued to come out solid
coal dust and pieces he and Mr.. RemeIe
had visions OF the $4,000 state bounty. They
estimated the width Of the vein and were
confident they had It sure.
Mr.. Brown expects TO sink other holes
In the vicinity and thinks that soon he
will be able to md out the probable limits
and trend Of the big vein. II is thought
by many that the entire strip OF country
between the Maple Greek valley and the
Platte bottoms for a distance OF several
miles Is underlaid with coal. The small
veins extend over a space Of three miles
in length and a mile and a half in width,
as has been found in boring for wells.

they have saved me many an anxious
night with my little ones"
Mr.. A. r. Fernbank of Columbus, Ohio,
says: 81 suffered so many winters from
Catarrh that l took it as a matter of course, |
and that nothing would cure it except a
change of climate, which my business affairs
would not permit me to take.
my nostrils were almost always clogged
up, and / had to breathe through the mouth,
causing an iuhamed, irritated throat. Tn
thought of eating breakfast often nauseated
me and the catarrh gradually getting into my
stomach, took way my appetite and digestion.
my druggist advised me to try a so cent
box of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, because he
said he had so many customers who had been
cured of catarrh by the use of these tablets,
ald he felt he could honestly recommend
them. 1 took his advice and used several
boxes with results that surprised and de-
lighted me.
II always keep a box of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets in the house and the whole family
use them freely on the FIRST appearance of a
cough or cold in the head.
with our children we think there is moth
ing so safe and reliable as Stusrt's Catarh
Tablets to ward of Group and colds, and with
older people I have known of cases where
the hearing had been seriously impaired by
chronic catarrh cured entirely by this new
remedy"
People who have used sprays, inhalers,
salves, and washes for catarrh and have found
how useless they are, will be agreeably sur
prised at the results following the use of a
pleasant internal remedy in tablet form.
Druggists everywhere admit that Stuart's
Tablets, which they sell at so cents per pack
age, is the safest, most effective and popular
of all catarrh remedies.

For the

Many analyses of cheap cough mixtures
and cough and throat lozenges have
clearly proven that a large proportion of
them contain opiates.
The temporary relief which these cheap
medicines often give in coughs and colds,
especially with the little children, is because
tina opiate, by destroying the nerve sensation,
the irritation in the throat, which causes the
cough, il temporarily removed, but the real
cause of the cold Is not in any way removed
by the opiate and will promptly return.
The best thing to use to remove the cat
arThal secretion which causes the cold, the
hoarseness and irritating cough, is a new
PREPARATION composed of antiseptics like Eu-
calyptol, Red Gum of Eucalyptus tree, Blood
Root, ETC., under name of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets, which contain no opiate, cocaine or
poisonous drug of any sort.
A mother living in Charleston, Mass, the
happy possessor of four children, writes:
EVERY fall and winter / have laid in a stock
OF cough medicines, Group mixtures, and
throat remedies for my little children, for
somehow or other they never seemed ito be
free from colds, Group or sore throat.
seThis fail I made a change in the usual
program. 1 had myself been cured of an OBJ
stfnate catarrh, from which I had suffered for
years, by Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, and as
they were pleasant to take I determined to
try them with my children. Our family ply
sician told me he knew them to be perfectly
safe and nothing better could be taken. So
1 gave them to the children and have con-
tiuued TO do so ever since, whenever there is
the least sign of Group or sore throat, and I
no longer dread the approach of cold weather
as I once did.

armer In the vicinity OF jamestown, and
Fremont people generally are much inter-
ested over the reported find Of a good vein
OF coal last week on Z. Remedies farm.
Everyone around there Is living in hopes
that his property is underiaid by coal. and
all are valuing their lands up in the un-
dreds OF dollars per acre.
II has been known for years that coal ex-
listed in the vicinity. The FIRST discovery
was made about twenty years ago by
George p. Davis on his farm, fourteen miles
northwest Of the city. He noticed black
particles on a steep bank on his place and
after digging only . foot and a half struck
q three-inch vein OF q poor quality Of
slaty coal. Underneath 1t was the usual
g~ravelly formation which underlays tia sur
face soil In the Vicinity.
Other farmers along the bluffs began pros
pecting and the hillsides were well spotted
with holes. In several other places similar
veins were found and in the most favor
able location parties began to sink q shaft.
A fourSor nve-inch vein was struck near
the surface. Underneath Il was the usual
coarse gravel, which was plainly of a
more recent geological formation than that
in which coal is usually found. and after
