HORSE FALLS IN cISTERN.
for Life-Rescued by Bremen.

A horse belonging to William Scales. of Kansas City, Kan, fell in an unused cistern the other day. The animal was almost submerged, nothing but his head and neck remaining above the water When the hose company from fire head quarters arrived large water moccasin about five feet long had wrapped itself about the horses neck and had bitten the animal several times.
 The snake was an ugly looking reptile, and for few moments the firemen hesi- tated about going down in the well. Vol unteers were called for, and some of the men, more venturesome than the rest, climbed down on ladder and with a large stick killed the snake. The horse was then lifted from the cistern and a veterinary surgeon applied antidotes for the snakes bite. Although the horse suffered considerably from the com bined effects of the fall and the snake bites, it will recover.

FRIGHT RESTORES SPEECH
Flames in Room of Dumb and Par. alyzed Man So Scare Him
 That He Begins to Talk.

Thomas Herring, dumb and par. alyzed old man living with his son-in- law. E. Moss, in London, was so over come with fright when fire broke out in his bedroom recently that he sud- denly began to speak.
 Herring, who is 71 years old, was robust man, and up to short time ago was enjoying gooo health, even work ing at small blacksmith's forge. Ono day he suffered stroke of paralysis, which also left him speeches..
 The other evening two men rushed in shouting that one of the upper rooms was on fire. Running up stairs to the chamber of his father-in-law Moss saw that the window curtains were ablaze and the woodwork was alight. The wind had blown open the window and this had knocked over lamps> causing the fire
 The paralyzed man lay on the bed helpless, unable to stir hand or foot or raise a cry of alarm. The agonized look on his face showed, however, that he realized the terrible nature of his position. The flames were smothered before they had made much progress. and the patient escaped unhurt.
 Shortly after the family were sur prised to hear the voice of the par alyzed father. He was able to speak distinctly few words and his speech was coherent. The next days his pow CTS of speech were still further restored and he regained the complete use of his voice and was able easily to converse with the family.
 The restoration of the lost faculty was evidently the outcome of the shock which his system experienced on the outbreak of the fire.
 Although the paralysis of the limbs remains, MT. Herring's health has im- proved so much that he has been re- moved from the house to hospital, where it is the opinion that he may live long time.

EXTOLS MARTIAL SPIRIT.
Gen. Sickles Declares War Was Or. dained by God and We Will
 Always Have It.

The cornerstone of a monument to Cypress Hills, L. l., in honor of Jews who lost their lives in defense of the union was laid recently. Nathan Straus, chairman of the auxiliary committee of the Hebrew Union Veteran association, presided. In the course of his remarks MT. Straus referred to "A time when war will be reckoned survival of bar barism" This brought protest from Maj. Gen. Daniel E. Sickles, retired, who lost leg at Gettysburg.
 Although we are assembled in a cemetery" said Gen. Sickles, "this is not funeral occasion. No death Is more glorious than death for ones country. know many think that wars are dreadful, but we have had our wars since the world began, and we shall always have wars. In the provi- dence of God war was ordained, and the human race will always fight for what it loves. This nation was found- ed through war. Would George III. have agreed to arbitration to let us found an independent government? No. We have liberty because our fathers fought seven years for independence. and we will always have to fight to maintain our freedom.
 "I hope the time will never come when we shall cease to be a martial people, or be unwilling to take up al ms in defense of our country. In the day we are unwilling to fight for our lib- critics we shall surely lose the respect of the world"

THE EVILS OF
 CONSTIPATION.
Everyone Knows When He is Consti- pated and Everyone Should Know the Risk He is Running When He Fails to Promptly
 Correct it.
Any Disease Epidemic or Otherwise to Which He or She May be Exposed
 is Sure to Result Seriously.

There are two ways to remove consti- patton; the wrong way is to drench the bowels with powerful, griping, drastic cathartic that injures the coating of the bowel channels and produces an early return of the trouble in a more chronic form. The right way is to use natural, easy and mild laxative that tones up and strengthens the bowels and leaves hea1thful influence behind it. Prickly Ash Bitters will empty the bowels just as thoroughly as the harsher cathartics, and combines all the tonic and strength ening properties necessary to perma- nently cure the habit.
 Accept no substitute. Insist on having
 the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the
 large figure in red on the front label.

A GROWING HOME INDUSTRY
Manufacture of Building Blocks is In
creasing in Importance.

A coming industry in Norfolk and
northern Nebraska - or one, indeed,
which may be said to have already
fairly arrived-is the manufacturing
of cement building blocks for use in
both foundations, walls and partitions
of homes and business structures. Al.
ready the process of manufacturing
these blocks in Norfolk, under the
direction of NJ. Endres, who founded
the industry here and who has been
increasing its importance month by
month, has come to be a factor in
the commercial being of the town and
a half dozen workmen, employed ev-
cry day at good wages, attest the
field that it has begun to fill.
At his home on South Eighth street
and that home, a two story struc.
ture, is a model of the building blocks
MIR. Endres has erected two large
buildings, in one of which the blocks
are made and in the other of which
they are laid for a week to dry thor
oughly before going on the market.
The process of making the blocks
is an interesting one, from the mo-
ment the Portland cement-and TWEEN.

CLUB WILL NOT D|SBAND.
WILL REoRGANIZE ALONG DIFF.
FERENT LINES.
MEETING NEXT FRIDAY EVENING

At That Time New Constitution viii
be Presented and an Effort Made to
Secure the Interest Of All Business
Men.
The meeting Of the Commercial
club last night at the city hall was
well attended and everyone of those
present Is a representative business
man. 1t was the most enthusiastic
and practical meeting that has been
held in recent years, and the thought
that the club should he disbanded was
very promptly frowned down. 1t was
decided to reorganize the club on
somewhat different lines raise the
membership fee and place its affairs
upon a business basis by giving the
officers something to work with in
financial way, instead of expecting
them to do n large amount of person
al labor and at the same time largely
foot the bills for advancing the inter-
ests of the town. TO this end anoth
er meeting will be held next Friday
evening, when lunch will be served
and the occasion made a social meet
ing of business men and property own
ers.
After calling the meeting to order,
President Robertson rendered his res
ignation as head of the club. This
brought on a discussion. in which ev-
cry member present expressed regret
that the Judge should contemplate re-
firing from the active management of
the organization. An attempt was
made to induce him to withdraw the
resignation, and the matter was fl
nally disposed Of by a motion that
the resignation be not accepted, which
received the unanimous vote Of all
present.
On motion a committee of three
was appointed to revise the constitu
tion and that meeting be called next
Friday evening to listen to the report
of the committee. The chair named
on this committee Messrs. Hazen,
Durland and Burnham.
1t was decided to serve refresh
ments at the meeting Friday evening
and W. r. Hoffman was selected to
take charge of this feature of the oc
casion, with power to appoint assist
ants.
1t was the sense of the club that the
coming meeting be thoroughly adver-
tised and Mr.. Hoffman was instructed
to issue personal invitations to busi-
ness men and property owners, the
object being to have a gathering of all
those interested in the welfare of the
city, to the end that projects for the
betterment of conditions might be
thoroughly discussed and the club
given an impetus that should insure
the active harmony in their accom-
plishment. 1t is well for all business
men to meet in a social way and talk
things over occasionally and no more
opportune time than next Friday even
ing at the city hall will ever be pre-
sentcd.
Under instruction from the club,
Hon. John r. Hays was invited by
President Robertson to make an ad-
dress on that evening, defining the ne
cessity of maintaining the club and
outlining its purposes.
