MoRTON's CONDITION FAVORABLE
Physicians Hopeful of Recovery of
Patient.

NEBRASKA CITY. Neb., Dec. 2s.-(Spe-
cial Telegram.) -Reports today from Arbor
Lodge indicate improvement to as great a
degree as might be expected in the con-
dition of Joy Morton, who was injured
yesterday by fall from a horse while
riding about the estate. The physicians
were favorably impressed with their pa
TENTS progress, and while not predicting
immediate recovery until the period of un-
favorable development is passed on tomor-
row. they are quite satisfied with the prog
ress made and are evidently anticipating
no serious results.
The skull, the doctors are satisfied, has
not been fractured and no operation will
be necessary, the blood cots being alb
sorbed by natural processes. Mr.. Morton
is conscious. His recovery will be slow
at best and the doctors say he cannot leave
his bed for weeks. Neither Paul Morton
nor Mark Morton will be sent for unless
there is a change for the worse.

Laps Off Five Hours Between Omaha and
Ogden from aail Train.
FIGHT FOR CONTRACT ON IN EARNEST
Central Lines Determined to Beat
Santa Fe TO Los AngeIes-Bur-
Iington Makes Important
Changes.
FIGHT FOR CONTRACT ON IN EARNEST

The fight for the contract OF carrying
United States mail across the continent Is
on in earnest between the transcontinental
lines. The first move in that direction
which has been made public is the an
nouncement that the Union Pacific will
shorten the running time of it's fast mail
train between Omaha and Ogden nearly
fve hours. The train now leaves Omaha at
$3.50 a. M and reaches Green River at $40.
and under the new schedule, which will be
effective January !, the train will leave
Omaha at ! 55 p. m. and reach Green River
at 955 thus leaving Omaha four hours and
torty-tve minutes later than formerly and
arriving at Green River one hour and thirty
minutes later than now. The rest of the
time will be made up between Green River
and Ogden, so that a saving of nearly five
hours will be made between Omaha and
Ogden.
1t is thought this difference in time will
be able to take the Los Angeles mail away
from the Santa Fe, although the fight is
being manipulated from Chicago and not
much is known about II in Omaha. The
change in the time of the mail east on the
Burlington was made so the Los Angeles
mall which is to be brought in on the Los
Angeles Limited, can be hurried on across
Iowa. The fight is now on and the Bur-
lington and Union Pacific officials will leave
no stone unturned TO utilize the excellent
tracks which these roads possess to hurry
the mail across the continent.

GUARD AGAINST GERMS.
Keep Well by Strengthening the Stom-
ach IN Summer With Mi o-na.

Everyone with weak digestion
should use Mi-o-na at this sea-
son and so strengthen the stom-
ach that diseased germs can have
no effect whatever. This remark :
able remedy puts the whole di-
gestive system in so healthy,
clean and sweet condition, a state
that fermentation of the food
cannot exist, that any disease
germs which may enter the
stomach will be so readily assim-
ilated that a rapid and healthy
increase in flesh will result.
Nervousness and sleeplessness
come more often from a weak
stomach than from any other
cause; head ache, back ache,
and rheumatic pains are directly
caused by an acid condition of
the stomach. Mi-o-na corrects
all this, prevents the formation of
acids, and nervousness, kidney
trouble, or rheumatism, is quick
ly cured.
Ask Mayo e Weaver to show
you the guarantee under which
they sell Mi-o-na. Price so cents.
1t costs nothing unless it cures.
