Heart Strength

Heart Strength, or Heart Weakness, means Nerve
Strength or Nerve Understanding more. Pos
ftively not one weak heart in hundred is. in it

hidden tiny little nerve that really is all at fault
This obscure nerve-the Cardiac or Heart Nerve
simply needs and must have, more power. more
stability, more controlling. more governing
strength. Without that the Heart must continue
to fail, and the stomach and kidneys also have
these same controlling nerves.

A BENEFIT TO WORKERS.

Indianapolis, Nov. 1S.-The first IL

the direction OF the Indiana Public
Library commission will be held at
Peru on Wednesday. This institute

Carrie B. Scott, of the Public Library
commission and Miss Lovina knowl
ton. Miss Knowlton will take up a
subject which is of unusual interest
just now to library workers. She will
discuss Methods of Bookbinding'
There would be a great saving
among the libraries of the state" said
Chalmers Hadley. secretary of the Lii
brary commission, 'if the librarians
understood just fully when they may
repair the books and how this repair
work may be done. 1t would save
huch money that is expended now for
bookbinding." 1t is likely that five IL
brary institutes will be held in the
state this year.

COUNTY JA|LS ARE
NATIONAL DISGRACE
Secretary Amos Butler of the
State Charity Board Makes
A Stirring Address.
REFORM is NOW NEEDED.
OF JAIL SYS-
TENS MOST DIFFICULT PROB
LEM OF ALL, HE SAID SOME
SHERIFFS DO GOOD WORK..

Wayne county officers and citizens in
general, who are aware of poor jail
conditions that exist here and else
where over the state, will find food for
thought in the stirring address deliv-
cred yesterday at indianapolis by
Amos w. Butler, secretary Of the
state board of charities. Mr.. Butler
told of the investigation of the Jail
system of the entire country, as car
ried on by the National Prison asso-
citation. AS a rule, throughout the
length and breadth of the United
States, the Jail system is deplorable,
Mr. Butler said, and there must be a
general reform along that line. In
part, Mr. Butler said:
"One Of the most difficult things to
obtain is the right kind Of an admin
istration in our jails. The sheriff is
elected because of his political belief
and not on account Of his ability. We
find some who are we'll qualified and
who take pleasure in caring for those
committed to their charge as well as
conditions will permit. On the other
hand there are some who leave the en-
tire administration to a deputy or jail
En- who knows little and cares less
about the care of the building or the
treatment of it's inmates. A few rules
of simple character. applicable to the
officers and inmates. if properly en-
forced. would greatly improve condi-
tons; but that which will be the most
practical help at the present time will
be the assistance given by the men,
bers of the county boards Of visitors,
who. in their regular visits, should
carefully investigate conditions and
make reports, fearlessly critcising with
a desire to be helpful.
Our sheriffs usually .ollow the line
OF least resistance. They take the way
that is the easy way. The easy way
&Jearly always the wrong way. We
can build our jails on such plan that
the easy way will be the right way.
When we do that we shall have taken
a long step in the right direction"

NEW DEVISE TESTED.

Thorough tests are being made by
the Pennsylvania lines Of an invention
for establishing temporary telegraph
stations along the railroads when
wrecks occur. The new device has
been patented by Charles Maynard, a
Baltimore and Ohio telegraph oper-
ator, and the tests are being made by
G. A. Cellar, superintendent of tele-
graph of the Pennsylvania lines. The
only mechanism used in connection
with the invention consists of the us
ual instrument having two wires lead
ing from it. To each Of these wires
is connected a hooked contact En-
easement with the line wires may be
made by raising the contacts on the
ends of jointed pole or in any other
manner.

THE BABY POST.
A Curious Institution That Once
Fiourished In England.

Although few people are probably
now aware Of 1t, the fact remains that
there once fiourished in England a reg
ular "baby post" the rates of postage
being fixed on a strictly business basis,
according to distances traversed.
The curious institution came into ex-
tstence in connection with the found
ling hospital in Guilford street. When
this charity was first established, it
was understood that it's operations
would be confined to London and it's
environs. But the people of the coun-
try towns and villages heard OF II and
showed a decided disposition to share
In its advantages: hence the baby
post!"
All over the country there were men
and women who entered vigorously
into the business of carrying chill
dren to London and depositing them
at the gates OF the founding hospital.
The charge was 8 guineas from distant
localities like York and Monmouth,
down to guinea from places situated
within thirty to fifty miles OF the me-
tropolis. The unfortunate infants were
borne on horseback in panniers, two to
each pannier, or In wagons lined with
straw, for which the charge was some
what less.
Naturally abuses grew up in con
nection with the traffic. But even
apart from them, the mortality among
the posted" babies was terrible. Thus,
out of 1884 received at the hospital
In four years. only 400 lived TO be
"apprenticed out being a mortality OF
more than 20 per cent.
Eventually parliament passed g
measure abolishing the practice. and
the baby post" ceased.-London An

TRIALS OF THE RICH.

Financial Prosperity and Its Worries
and PerPlexites.
Once upon a time a young man and
girl loved each other fondly. He
was poor, but bright. energetic and
persevering. She was pretty. cheerful
and amiable. They married. Their
friends thought they might have wait
ed until their prospects were better.
but they laughed prudence to scorn.
Two years after the marriage the
wife met one Of her friends.
How are you getting along?" asked
the friend
every nicely" said the wife, beaming.
"My husband is so good. and | have
such u lovely baby. And, just think.
We have $1,000 in the bank. and we
don't owe a cent to anybody"
Five years later the friend met her
again.
II hear you are doing very WE'LL
she said Some one told me your
husband had $4,000 invested in real
estate"
why, yes" said the wife, "but it's
such a worry. There are repairs and
taxes and interest on mortgages. and
one of the tenants has just moved out
owing us a whole months rent. Isn't
It shame?"
Five years more elapsed, and again
the friend met her.
"They tell me you're growing rich"
she said.
"Ye-es, but I'm anxious about the
stock market. My husband has $4,000
In stocks. and he thinks they're going
up, but I'm not so sure about it In
deed, didn't sleep a wink last night"
Five years later-another meeting.
From what l hear your husband
will soon be a millionaire"
"Oh. l don't know" said the wife.
"He hasn't more than half million
yet And it Is so tied up in all sorts
of investments-onen never knows how
they will turn out. l just wish we
had enough to put the money in gov
eminent bonds so that we wouldn
have to worry. But Of course the In
come from half a million IN govern
ment bonds wouldn't be enough to
mae both ends meet. And yet, do
you know. some people have such
absurd notions about the amount Of
money we have! One crank has even
sent Il letter to my husband threaten
ing to shoot him just because he is
rich. 1 declare. sometimes I'm so wor-
ried don't know what to do
1t would be pleasant to give this
story a happy ending, but that isn't
the kind 1t had. This lady's wealth
continued to increase as long as she
lived, and she never ceased to be un-
easy except in those brief intervals
when she forgot all about it.-Bohe'

Firmly believing that the Grand
Rapids and Indiana railroad would
pay their employees in Richmond on
the check-cash basis as did the reg
ular Pennsylvania car reaching this
city Saturday, local G. r. & I. en-
ployes were surprised when they were
paid in full by the cash system. First
reports reaching Richmond were that
the northern roads pay car was using
the check system on the northern di-
vision. The surprise was welcome

The "PeerIess One" Reached
Lafayette Yesterday and
Had Busy Time of 1t.
SLAM AT TAINTED COIN.
EFELLER-. THE NEBRASk A N
TO SPEAK AT THE BANQUET
TONIGHT.

Lafayette, Nov. 1S.-William Jen-
nings Bryan is in town. He came Sun
day and the day was not one of rest
by any means. From the minute of
his arrival until late last night, the
candidate for the democratic nomin-
alton was besieged. In the afternoon
he addressed a monster mass meet
ing conducted under the auspices of
the Y. M. c. A. He took a stand
against tainted money, and evident
ly was hitting blindly at John D. Rock
efeller.
Mr.. Bryan took as his subject,
Prince of Peace and was greeted
the large auditorium. If the warmth
of the greeting paid the Nebraskan
Sunday is in any way indicative of
what is to come when the escape
valve of political enthusiasm is TUNED
wide open this evening at the Jack
son club banquet he will be given an
ovation that will compare with those
accorded him on his first visit to this
city after being nominated for presi-
dent in 1896.
1t came from one Of Mr.. Bryan's
closest friends that he will discuss in
detail at the banquet this evening the
statement he made several days ago
regarding his candidacy for the demo
cratic presidential nomination. By
more than one democratic leader he
has been importuned to do SO.
After his address last night Mr..
Bryan went to the Hotel Lair to write
letter to Mrs. Bryan, but he was
forced to make it very brief, being
surrounded by friends and admirers
who wished to shake his hand.
In all. 5000 people heard Mr.. Bryan
Sunday. AS the afternoon meeting
was under the auspices of the Young
Mems Christian Association, only men
were permitted in the hall. In exact
ly eighteen minutes 5000 of them had
crowded and jammed into the building
and standing room was was at prem
line of ticket holders extended for
nearly two squares. four abreast, and
squad OF policemen was necessary
to prevent accidents.
When he took occasion to take a
slap at tainted money, he was speak
ing of the lengths to which some peo
pie will so to seek peace of mind and
soul. Every heart that BEATS he
said, has been in search of peace
Many have been the methods employ
| ed to secure it. Some have thought
/ # they could just get money enough
/ to buy everything thew want to buy
! that that would produce peace, but
/ the great majority of those who lave
tried to get money in the hope Of buy
| ing peace with it have failed 10 sc
as much money as they thought neces
sary TO their peace. Talk 10 taost
who have been eminentiy successful
in finance, and they will tell YOU tina
| they spent the first part of their live;
| trying to get the money from other!
! and the last part trying TO keep 9Th
ers from getting their money. and tina
| they uldn have peace in either case
