The Russian has been identified as
the Grand Duke Constantine. younger
brother Of the Car Alexander l.. and
the incident occurred about 1910.
The Yankee wont out for Il walk In
March, when the snow was melting
after sudden rain. The street was
maze of puddles, divided into sections
by narrow lodges Of snow at the cross
ings. over which pedestrians carefully
felt their way.
The Yankee was just in the middle
of such Il snow bridge when he recog-
nized tic Grand Duke Constantine APP
preaching in the opposite direction.
The path being too narrow for two
persons to pass, the grand duke being
accustomed to every one getting out OF
his way, the Yankee being too courte'
GUS to turn his back on a brother oil
the car to return whence he came
and too proud to step servilely into the
slush for a mere prince of the roya
blood-such was the contretemps.

Help For Hoarseness,

Hoarseness may often be cured by
letting a piece of borax three times
the size of a pea dissolve In the
mouth. Repeat every three or four
bonrs until relief is obtained. In ordi-
nary cases of hoarseness this methou
will be found effective.
Chronic hoarseness may often De
cured by this method. Boil a large
handful of wheat bran in a quart OF
wafer. Strain and sweeten with
honey. Sip little Of this mixture ire
ouently whenever the hoarsenes'
bothers.

one foot. No tree bears more than TWO
leaves. and these attain a length OF SIX
and a breadth of two feet. The flowers

RAY KENNARD IS PARDONED
Has Typhoid Fever-Was Serving a
Year for a Norfolk Offense.

Raymond r. Kennard of Plainview
sentenced to year in the penitentiary
after admitting his guilt in connection
with the passing of forged Northwest
ern paychecks in this city, was, ac-
cording to advices from Lincoln, condi-
tionally pardoned by Governor Sheldon
Saturday.
Kennard now has typhoid fever and
the governor has ordered him to be
taken to a hospital in University
Place near Lincoln, there to remain
until he RECEIVERS.
Kennard, according to the COVER
nor's orders then will be taken to the
home of his parents at Plainview
where he must be employed in some
useful occupation. He must also make

w. A. Witzigman, vice president OF
the Nebraska National bank, who re-
turned Saturday from Lincoln, where
he attended the bankers state conven.

the scheme one of the amusing fea.
lures was that a Mr. Fleming, a bank.
or from Oklahoma, who spoke in favor

Oklahoma banks, one of which recent
ly failed MIR. Wit2igman states that
if the bank guaranty plan should ever
come To pass there is no likelihood
that the national banks of Nebraska
would throw up their charters, like
many in Oklahoma have done, and
rc.organize as state banks. He says
that the Nebraska national banks
would follow the course of the remain
