FLEA IN THE PLEIADES.
Indian Legend About Five Maidcns
 Who Would Marry For Love.

A curious explanation of the origin of the Pleiades is given by writer in Out West, who secured it, among oth- CT myths, from a tribe of Calif1rnia Indians.
 According to this piece of tradition a great chief was the father of five daughters so beautiful that they at tracted many suitors But they daclar- ed they would remain single unless they could marry for love.
 They were very cold and critical and quite ignored the young men who came to court them. One day whom they were playing and singing, Baakil, the Flea" heard them and followed the sound until he came In sight of them. He was so captivated that he prayed the Great Spirit 10 transform him into a handsome man.
 No sooner said than done. When tie five daughters stopped dancing, there among them was so beauteous a mas culine being that they fell in love without further ado When the Flea had decided on his choice, he wens [ 1; the chief and asked for her and was happily surprised to find that all five of the girls pined to be his.
 So he married them ali. one after the other, and they lived m peace and happiness through the winter. But with the late spring and anmmer a change took place. The heat affected the Flea and every time he embraced any of his wives he began to itch Their rosy cheeks vanished, the buoy i ancy became languor, and one took l pity on the other and said,
 You must leave him to save your beauty"
 When all five had been told ths same thing from each other they le- cided that something must De done l So at midnight the five sisters met and each proposed way of escape, vel none was available save that >f ;be youngest Her plan was that they leave him for good and all.
 To accomplish this end they gave him a sleeping draught when he awoke at the usual hour for his drink for Flea was very light sleeper anC the hurrying and bustling of the five women would have awakened hin had he not been drugged, When hC was in his soundest sleep the womes departed
 When the Flea awOke many hour later and got up he thought, "Wher, are my wives 2" Looking about h' realized that they had fled. He wen eastward and had journeyed inanl days when, just about to rest ,n thu sandy shore of the ocean. he caugh sight of them and excitedly exc;a' med
 "I will catch you yet"
 They heard him and the 'Durges turned to see how far behind ht Nas She called to her sisters: "Let us has ten: he is gaining on us rapidly. L riosity caused the others to tura; .hc, lost time until again the younges cried: He is very near" Then wit one voice they cried We will go u into the air. There he cannot com with us"
 Slowly and gracefully they ros' until they reached the places they noV occupy in the sky. Baakil again ,n voked the aid of the Great Chief, an through him was also allowed to ris to the sky. But before he was abl to embrace any of his wives he to was turned into a star

 But before Greece, dental art four ished in Assyria, in Egypt, and in Phoenica, and from there the art reached Etruscans Benzoni asserts that he found artificial teeth of syca- more wood attached by gold wire to the sound teeth of mummies, and also in mummies from Thehes decayed teeth filled with gold so well that the metal adhered perfectly to the ivory.

For weak, worn-out, over-worked wom. en-no matter what has caused the breakdown, rFavorite Prescription will be found most effective in building up the strength, regulating tho womanly functions, subduing pain and bringing about healthy, strong, vigorous con dition of the whole system.
 Dr. Pierce believes that our American forests abound in most valuable medi. cinal roots for the cure of most of our obstinate and most fatal diseases, if we would properly investigate them; and. in confirmation of this firm conviction. he points with pride to the almost mar velous cures effected by his rGolden Medical Discovery" which has proven itself to be the most efficient stomach tonic, liver invigorator, heart tonic and regulator, and blood cleanser known to medical science. Not less marvellous, in the unparalleled cures it is constantly making of womah's many peculiar affec- tions, weakness and distressing derange- ments, is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip- tion, as is amply attested by thousands of unsolicited testimonials contributed by grateful patients who have been, cured by it of leucorrhea, painful periods, irregularities, prolapsus and other displacements, ulceration of uterus and kindred affections, often after many other advertised medicines had failed.
 Both these world-famed medicines are wholly made up from the glyceric extracts of native, medicinal roots, found in our American forests. The processes employed in their manu- facture were original with Dr. Pierce. and they are carried on by skilled chem-l ists and pharmacists with the aid of apparatus and appliances speciality designed and built for this purpose. Both medicines are entirely free from alcohol and all other harmful, habit- forming drugs. What is said of their power to cure the several diseases for which they are advised may be easily learned by sending your name and address to Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo. N. Y., for little booklet which he has compiled, containing copious extracts fromnumerous standard medical books, which are consulted as authorities by physicians of the several schools Of practice for their guidance in prescrib1 ing. It is FREE TO ALL. A postal card request will bring it.
 Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure constipation. Constipation is the cause of many diseases. Cure the cause and you cure the disease. One cPelletn is a gentle laxative, and two mild ca, thartic. Druggists sell them, and nothing is rjust as good" They are the original Little Liver Pills first put up by old Dr. Pierce, over 70 years ago. Much initiated, but never equaled. They are tiny sugar-coated granules- easy to take az candy.

Dr. Pierce's medicines, however, form a single and therefore striking exception to the above rule. Their claim to the confidence of invalids does not rest solely upon their owners and makers say-so or praise. Their ingredients are matters of public knowledge, being printed on each separate bottle-wrap- per. Thus invalid sufferers are taken into Dr. Pierce's full confidence. Scores of leading medical men have written enough to fill volumes in praise of the curative value of the several ingredients entering into these well known med icines.
 In favor of Dr. P;orce's medicines is tho frank, confding, open, honest state- ment of their full composition, giving every ingredient in plain English, with out fear of successful criticism and with confidence that the good sense of the afflicted will lead them to appreciate this honorable manner of confding to them what they are taking into their etomachs when making use of these medicines.
 WHAT THEY CURE. People often ask rWhat do Dr. Pierce's two leading mericines-'Golden Medical Discovery and Favorite Prescription cure?"
 Briefly. the answer is that vGolden Medical Discoveryp is a most potent al- teratIve. or pIood-pnrifier, and tonic, or inylgorator. and acts especially favor aDiy in a curative way upon all the mucous lining surfaces, as of the nasal passages, throat, bronchial tubes, stom- ach, bowels and bladder curing a large percentage of catarrhal cases whether the disease affects the nasal passages, the throat, larynx, bronchia, stomach Gas catarrhal dyspepsia), bowels las mucous diarrhea), bladder, uterus or other pelvic organs. Even in the chronic or ulcerative stages of these affections, 1t is generally successful in affecting cures. In fact the eGolden Medical Discovery" is without doubt, the most successful constitutional remedy for all forms of catarrhal diseases known to modern medical science. In Chronic Nasal Catarrh Dr. Sage's Catarrh Rem edy fluid should be used for washing and cleansing out the nasal passages while taking the "DiscoveryD for its blood cleansing and specific, healing effects upon the mucous lining mem branes. This combined local and gen. eral treatment will cure a very large percentage of the worst cases of chronic nasal catarrh, no matter of how many years standing they may be.
 As to the nFavorite Prescription,n it is advised for the cure of one class of diseases only-those weaknesses, de- engagements and irregularities peculiar to women. It is a powerful, yet gently Sctipg. .invigorating tonic and nervine.

Whose Say=so Is Best?

Cicero First to Mention the Extraction
 of Teeth,

The first mentioning of tooth ex- tracting in literature seems to be by Cicero. who names Aesculapius (the third) as the inventor of purges and the art of extracting teeth, some 1900 years before Christ. Hippocrates. four centuries before Christ, wrote much about the care of the teeth, and tomb at Tanagra, of about that peri

A MODEL ROAD WANTED
COMMERCIAL CLUB WANTS FED.
ERAL EXPERT SENT HERE.
FOR GOOD ROAD DEMONSTRATION

C. 7. sprecher Enlists Commercial
Club in Effort to Have the Govern.
ment Conduct Demonstration in
Good Road Making in This Vicinity
The Norfolk Commercial club will
try TO have the federal government
send a good roads expert to Norfolk
to give a practical demonstration of
good road making
Mcssrs. $. G. Mayer and c. r.
Sprecher were appointed as a special
good roads committee by the club d..
rectors yesterday afternoon.
The subject OF good roads was
brought before the directors by Mr..
Sprecher, who has been a good roads
enthusiast for many years. Mr..
Sprecher pointed out the value of sys-
tematic road making and the poor re-
suits that had been obtained in the
past through haphazard methods and
temporary repairs. He thought that
Norfolk should try to get the govern
ment to give a demonstration of good
road making in this vicinity. Where
the government takes up this work 1t
sends an expert and meets all of the
expense of the sample road. The di-
rectOrs agreed with Mr.. Sprecher and
instructed him in conjunction with Mr..
Mayer to enter into the necessary cor
respondence.
Norfolk has already shown her in
terest in better roads. Before Mr..
Sprecher appeared before the club the
directors had appropriated $3.50 to be
used in cooperating with the county
in putting in better condition the
country roads leading into Norfolk.
The money will be expended under the
direction of County Commissioner
Burr Taft.
The Commercial Club Auxiliary is
studying the King road drag and has
voted to have new drag built
The Sturgeon administration is go
ing to give general attention to all
Norfolk streets. The city council has
agreed to keep the small street grad
er working wherever it is needed.

DRY, PENDING An APPEAL
WINSIDE SALOON LICENSE CASE
TO DISTRICT COURT.
THEN GO TO SUPREME COURT
Many Witnesses Were Examined at
the Winside Saloon Case Hearing
Not as Much Bitterness Came Out
as Was Anticipated.

Winside, Neb., May 27.-For two
weeks more at least Winside will be
dry" At the hearing, while the anti
saloon people failed to prove their
contentious to the satisfaction of the
village council, and they were over
ruled, notice of appeal to the district
court was served, which prevents the
two saloons from opening until that
court decides the matter. This it is
expected will be in two weeks.
Many witnesses were examined and
much testimony taken at the hearing,
and the attorneys on both sides OBJ
jected to most of each others ques.
tons to witnesses. The validity Of
several ordinances is questioned,
which the district court will have to
decide. Whatever may be the deci-
sion OF the district court it is almost
sure that the case will be taken to
the supreme court. However, if the
district court decides in favor of the
saloon men, they may open up pend
ing the action Of the higher court.
There was not as much bitter feel
ing aroused as was expected. 1t is the
almost unanimous opinion of Winside
people that the saloon question be
settled by popular vote, and such a
method will be adopted next year.

AN ALL NIGHT SESSION
CITY COUNCIL ADJOURNS AT 4
THIS MORNING.
NEW SEWER ENGINEER

A Merry Row over the Sewer Scrap
Kept Councilmen in Council Cham
Der All Nght-New Saloon License
officer Fraser at junction.
Just before O'Clock this morning
the Norfolk city council adjourned
few minutes before the sun climbed
up over the hill the last weary coun.
Gilman slammed the door of his home
and vowed not to run next time. 1t
was council meeting that broke all
time records.
There is nothing so productive of
lengthy council session as a merry
row. There were hot words last
night and this morning between the
mayor and the city engineer, the net
result being that the latter's resigna
ton as sewer engineer was again ten
dered. The resignation was accepted
by the council, that body instructing
the mayor to engage a new sewer en-
gineer with the understanding that
County Engineer Thatch of Madison
should be secured If possible. The
city engineer rendered his resignation
as sewer engineer because Of a dis
pute between him and the sewer con
tractor as to the way the loose dirt
should be put back in the trenches
The council found enough sides to the
story to keep them up all night.
The council did things last night,
however. Here are some:
Saloon license granted to Ed Grant
in old farmer location, making twelve
retail saloons.
Pool hall license fixed at SIS a year.
Sewer district No. 5, a one block
extension on South Tenth street,
started on its legal course.
