POPULAR TEACHER DEAD.
Bert Butler of Neigh Succumbs to Op-
Grafton for Appendicitis.

Neigh, Neb, Feb. 25-Special to
The News: Mr.. Bert Butler, who was
operated on last Wednesday in this
city for appendicitis, died Saturday af-
ternoon. Several attacks during the
past year were evident that an opera
ton at the earliest possible moment
was necessary, but not until Wednes-
day was it performed.
Mr.. Butler was teacher in the gram
mar room of Neigh for nearly two
years. The pupils of the room met
yesterday at the school building in the
afternoon and marched in a body to
the M. E. church, where impressive
funeral services were conducted by
Rev. c. o. Trump. That Mr. Butler
was held in high esteem in this city
was demonstrated by the crowded con-
dition Of the church. The body was
taken last evening to Ewing the old
home of the deceased, where it will
be buried this afternoon. He is sur
vived by young wife, having been
married six months ago. The Neigh
public schools are closed today on &C.

The Right Kind Of a Friend.

Advice is cheap; almost anyone is
willing to give it gratis, but when a
man backs 1t up with hard earned dol
lars then you may count him as a real
friend. Lucy Suddreth, of Lenoir, n.
c., had been troubled with a very bad
cough for over year. She says: "A
friend told me about Chamberlain
Cough Remedy, but as had tried sew
eral cough medicines and none of them
did me any good, | had no faith in it,
did not get II and went on coughing.
Later on my friend bought bottle Of
IT, brought II to me and insisted that
| should take IT, | did so and to my
surprise it helped me. Four bottles of
it cured me of my cough" For sale

RAILWAY BUILDING EXPENSIVE
Yankton & Southwestern Selects Queer
Time IL in Earnest.

One OF the most potent reasons for
believing that the Yankton & South
western railroad will not materialize
in the near future is the present diff
Guilty with which all railroads are bor-
rowing money for their improvements.
Good stiff rates are being paid as in
terest and, under present conditions,
railroad managers are not announcing
many extensions of trackage. For this
reason there is some belief that the
Yankton & Southwestern does not
mean to lay rails, 1t is said that the
promoters TO date have about 100000
to work on, but it is recognized that
to borrow very large amount of mon.
Twill not be so easy.
One suggestion made as to the rea.
son for the present agitation is the
fact that the time limit for the bridge
across the Missouri had run out. With
the new survey started, 1t was an easy
matter to get congress to pass the
new bill, giving another lease OF life
to the bridge project and thus holding
that right in the proposed railroads
promoters hands.

Der of the senate or house has gone
ON record as iavoring Mr. Bryan's

An analysis Of the replies. which
have been received from the democrats
reveals the fact that they agree with
the policy of the republican admins
tration In the control of railways.
Very few of the democrats would adj.
NIT even that the contingency might
arise by which 1t would be necessary
for the government to own the rail

That the present law should be tried
and If found insufficient that II should

good sense gives out statement in
which he declares that the people will
always be able to control the railways
OF the country. He says that he will
not believe that the intelligence of the
American people Is not equal to the
task of protecting themselves against
the domination of the railways.
These statements are clearly chal.
lengc to Mr.. Bryan. In n very polite
way the democratic leaders tell Mr.
Bryan that he was not advocating dem
ocratic principles in his Madison
Square Garden speech. The democrat
ic leaders have refused absolutely to
accept Mr. Bryan's philosophy that
government control may not prove n
success and that the country may be
forced to buy its railways
with all of the democratic leaders
on record In this manner II is difficult
to sec how Mr.. Bryan can become the
nominee of the party in 1908 with the
expectation of receiving the united
support of the democratic party.
