Fort to Leave Overland.

Gerrit Fort, assistant general pas
senger agent of the Union Pacific, is
to leave Omaha June 1 and at that
time will sever his connection with the
Union Pacific railroad, with which he
has been connected for the last six
years, says the Omaha Bee. During
his stay in Omaha Mr.. Fort has made
a host of friends both in railroad cir
cles and in the commercial and social
life, and it is with deep regret his
friends will hear of his decision to
leave for the east. A man of recog-
nized ability in the railroad world and
a prince among his fellow men, his loss
to this community will be keenly felt,
for he has been for Omaha in all
things. Mr.. Fort leaves to accept SER
vice with the New York Central road
and will be located in New York.

There was plenty of guns, bells and tin
pans in evidence, with more noise than

band on a still day. Mr.. Kortes was
finally brought out of his dreams and
made to realize that there were others
in town. J. S. Evans, or better known
as the professor, was appointed as
spokesman for the boys, acquitting
himself in grand style by a speech con-
graduating the bride and groom, wish
ing them a long, happy and prosperous
welded life. After repeated hints
from the boys that the charivari rails
ed more or less dust and caused dry
threats, Mr.. Kortes finally tumbled
that the boys were from Texas and act
ed accordingly. Well, Mr.. Kortes, we
wish that you live forever and we never
die. May your pathway be strewn with
roses and may you never know a care,
is the sincere wish of your friends.

Beware Of ointments for catarrh That
Contains Mercury

as mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering it through
the mucous surfaces. Such articles
should be used except on pre-

to the good you a possibly derive
from them. Halls Catarrh Cure, manu-
