A Tender-Hearted Tram.

PIERCE, Neb., Dec. 2L-(Speclal.)-A
touching little incident took place on the
streets OF Pierce today worth recording.
The mild weather has delayed the migra-
ton of the hobo and one was standing on
the street as the city marshal was leading
a good looking, but worthless ownerless
dog. His intention was to go to the out
skirts of the town and shoot the animal.
The hobo (whose only earthly possessions,
except his ragged clothes. was IS cents)
stopped the marshal and asked II he could
nave the dog. and the deal was made
whereby the tramp took the dog and chain
for rs cents. Going to the nearest meat
market, the hobo bought 10 cents worth of
meat and fed to the dog. At this instant a
farmer dropped into the place and learning
the facts said he was after just such a dog,
and the tramp turned his late purchase
over. saying to the dog: II have fed you
and found you a home and that, instead OF
your getting shot. is my Christmas present
to you.

FACTS ABOUT
THE GROUP
THE FIRST SYMPTOMS AND
TREATMENT.
Some Interesting Information for
Young Mothers---Ho to
Guard Against the
Disease.

The great danger from Group is fully re-
allied BY most mothers Of young children.
There are many, however, who do not know
that an attack Of Group may be prevented by
proper treatment as soon as the first symp-
toms appear. The first indication Of an
attack of Group is hoarseness. The child
becomes quite hoarse; this is followed by a
rough cough that has something Of a metal
lie sound and has been compared TO the
Growing Of a cock. Give Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy according to the printed
directions with each bottle as soon - he
child becomes hoArse, or even after he
croupy cough appears, and it will prevent
the attack. Il is, in fact, a certain cure for
Group, and has never been known to fail, but
it is better and safer to give the remedy be-
fore the attack Of Group is fully developed
IL then saves suffering for the child and anx-
iety for its parents. There is no danger in
giving this remedy freely, as II contains no
opium or other narcotic. IL is the standby
and sole reliance in many thousands OF
homes and never disappoints those who de-
pend upon it. There are women who took
this remedy in childhood, now giving II to
their grandchildren, and with the same uni
form success. Il always cures and Is plsas-

LINCOLN, Dec. Disqualification
was Instituted in the district court this
afternoon to have the franchise of the

and that the corporation be ousted from
the streets OF that municipality.
The suit IL In the nature of quo war
ranto. with Samuel Hinkle, mayor of the
village OF Havelock. named as relator. 1t
is alleged that the franchise under which
the Traction company operates in Havelook
is void and several grounds for this asser-
tion are assigned. In the first place it is
commended that the respondent company
never did nave any right to operate an
interurban company, II being limited by
the terms OF it's charter and articles of in
corporation to a local business. Neither is
Il entitled to do a commercial or express
business such as It has been carrying on.
Itfls asserted that the election when the
pretended franchise was granted was void

required by law.

NEW YORK, Dec. A.-Half a million
dollars VIII be offered in memory of Abra-
ham Lincoln by the people of this country
between Christmas and the hundredth an
niversary of his birth, according to the
leaders of a national memorial movement
which was started in this city today, To
permanently endow the Lincoln hospital
and home, where thousands of colored and
white patients have been treated, edu-
Gated and housed here for the last sixty
nine years, is the object for which Ameri-
can citizens in every section Of the land
are to be invited to devote their individual
tribute TO the' martyred president. Seven
ty-five thousand dollars has today been
promptly subscribed in this city to start
this fund and its completion in time for
the centenary celebration is declared to be
assured when the people of other cities
and states learn Of the project.
In crumpled dollar bills and stamps, as
we'll as substantial checks, the working
committee of this new Lincoln memorial
movement are preparing to receive the re-
Spouse of the people from end to end Of
the country to their Christmas call for a
living monument to Lincoln. Thousands Of
white and colored persons, who nave alike
received free treatment, care and relief Of
the institution since long before the civil
war, are today e~nlisting in the movement
to perpetuate It in Lincoln's name. From
the infirm old people who are weaving
baskets for the fund in the nome wards to
the corps of a hundred graduate trained
nurses who are spreading its relief work
in every part OF the country, a volunteer
army of beneficiaries will work to secure
the future OF this unique hospital in the
name OF the great emancipation.
Medical and surgical leaders in this city

sion throughout the country that the edu-
cational influence Of the institution which is
to be a perpetual memorial to Lincoln, is
becoming a factor In the problem Of national
health. A score Of scientifically educated
colored nurses are graduated from its train
ing school each year and sent to every
section Of the land to cope in%telligently
with the spread OF disease in the highest
professional circles as well as among their
own people. The continuation and extension
OF this work would prove a considerable
