A Wonderful News Service.

Have you ever paused to think
what marvellous organization must
be necessary to lay before you each
day an accurate account of the hap
penings of yesterday in Europe,
Asia. Africa, South America, Aus
tralia, the islands of the sea and the
whole expanse of our own continent,
all in single newspaper? The in
tricate network of cables and tele-
graph lines, the complicated chain
of news-gathering agencies stretch
ing across continents and oceans, the
innumerable reporters working daily
for you under tropic suns and over
romantic thrill of it all in reading a
great modern newspaper such as The
Chicago Record-Herald? We men
ton this paper especially because
of the completeness Of its domestic
and foreign news service. 1t has a
correspondent in every town or city
of Importance in the United States, a
veritable army Of them in all. In ad-
dition it has the benefit of the for
eign news service of the New York
Herald, famous for it's worldwide
cable system and for the reliability
of its foreign news; also that of the
New York World and the New York
Journal of Commerce, besides that
of the great cooperative newsgath'
ering organization, the Associated
Press. With such vast and com
plete news service it is not strange
that The Record-Herald so easily
holds it's own as one of the great
newspapers of the world.

GIRLS STORY PROVES TRUE
Former Accused of Murder Confesses
to Crime,


York. Pa, Jan. 15.-Harry Keener,
a York county farmer, confessed that
the story told by a girl of this city
that he had killed a man on his farm
last July is true. The identity of the
victim is still unknown. The girl ac-
cused Keener while she was lying on
what was believed to be her death
bed.
The cir! in the case is Miss Loren
"a Tawser, aged eighteen years. Last
summer she was employed on Keen
GERS farm near Seven Valleys. Last
week she attended the murder trial
in this city Of one-armed negro and
was taken sick while listening to the
testimony After being taken home
she was seized with spasms and fear
ing she would die gave detailed &C
count of Keener's alleged: crime to
her mother. Her reason for not tell
ing of the killing sooner, she said,
was that she had been sworn to Sc.
crecy by Keener. Keener was taken
into custody last Sunday, but denied
the accusation.
The girl said the body was buried
! in Keener's orchard and while search
was being made for it Keener con
tessed. He said his victim was a
| stranger who came to his house in
| the night and who, without apparent
provocation, threatened to kill him
! He said he shot through the glass II
the door of his home and killed him
He then buried the body, he said.

THE CAUSE OF COLDS
Good Advice Regarding The Prevention
of Couuhs and Colds.

If people would only properly
fortify and strengthen their system,
about 90 per cerlt of coughs, colds
and pneumonia might be avoided.
These troubles are simply the result
of weakness, which produces
catarrhal condition of the mucous
membrane, which is as an interna
skin of the body. When this skin
is weakened, it becomes infected
with germs which are carried
through the system by the blood.
These parasites attack and break
these delicate tissues and set up
soreness which produces what is in
reality an external scrofula.
The only thing that will cure
coughs and colds and prevent pneu-
monia is a medication which is
absorbed and carried by the blood
so that the diseased membrane is
disinfected, cleaned, soothed and
healed.
We have remedy which we
honestly believe invaluable and I'm.
surpassable for the prevention and
cure of coughs, colds and all
catarrhal conditions. It is, the
prescription of a famous physician,
who has an enviable reputation of
80 years of cures gained through the
use of this medicine. We promise
to either effect a cure in every case
or make no charge for the medicine.
We urge everybody in Bemidj
who has need of such medicine tc
try Rexall Mucu-T Tone.
| It stands to reason that we could
not afford to make such statements
and give our own personal guarantee
Ito this remedy if we were not
absolutely positive that we coulc
substantiate our claim in every par.
ticular, and we see no reason why
: anyone should hesitate to accept
our offer and try it. We have two
sizes of Rexall Mucu-Tone. Price:
soc and $1.OO. Sometimes a 5Ot
bottle is sufficient for cure. AS {
general thing, the most chronic case
is cured with an average of three
large bottles. Remember, the medi
cine will cost you nothing if you are
not satisfied in every particular

RESULT OF HOLDUP
OF OMAHA RESORT
Officer Dead, Detective and Rob-.
Der Fatally Wounded.

Omaha, Jan. 15.-Patro1man L. A.
Smith is dead, Detective w. G. Dew
ereese is probably fatally injured, Al
bert Clarke is fatally hurt and Betsy
Smith is dangerously shot as the re-
suit of an attempt by Clarke to hold
up Anna Wilson'S place on Ninth
street.
Clarke entered the Wilson place
and at the point Of a revolver COM
manded the inmates to hold up their
hands. A moment later he snatched
diamond necklace from the neck OF
the Wilson woman and escaped to the
street. Betsy Smith followed him and
Clarke fired shot into her shoulder,
inaicting dangerous wound. Her
screams brought Patrolman Smith to
the scene and Clarke at once began
shooting at him, firing two bullets
into his body. Smith returned the
fire, one bullet taking effect in
Clarke's leg, but he escaped to the
Douglass street bridge across the Mis-
souri, river.
The shooting, which occurred two
blocks from the police station, brought
a squad of police and the patrol to the
| scene. Smith was dead when they
arrived. An hour later the robber
was located on the bridge by Detec
tives Devereese and Heitfeldt. As
the officers came up to the robber he
began firing, one bullet hitting Dew
ereese in the stomach. Heitfeldt shot
the robber twice In the stomach.

Should Secure Accommodations.

Veterans and other visitors who expect to attend the reunion at Memphis June 8Io, should ar range for their accommodations at once, according to Adjutant R. A.. Reynolds who is looking after the interests of those going from this county. MT. Reynolds has se- cured places for 20 veterans in the barracks and 50 in the private homes, but must have the names to send in by June l, or the accom- modations will be forfeited. All veterans who desire will be given free board and lodging at the bar racks, and the veterans and others who so desire can be cared for elsewhere at very low rates. Those, however, who fail to give their names to Mir. Reynolds by June I will have to take chances on finding accommodations after they reach Memphis.

MAY EMPLOY
 NEW TEACHER

At the next meeting of the Con way school board, which will be held next Saturday night, the question of adding new teacher to the public school faculty will be considered. Supt. $. s. Waters states that the addition of new teacher will be almost a necessity when the new building is used, as there will be one more class room to take care of, and the work in the high school has grown too heavy to be carried by the present number of teachers. The boys of the school are hoping that young college man who can di- rect the athletics of the school will be elected.
 President Jo Frauenthal of the school board said this morning that the board would examine the financial condition of the district carefully and if it is thought that the schools finances will permit, another teacher would doubtless be elected.
 Members of the board are grat- flied over securing Miss Caroline Muth as one of the new teachers for the next session. Miss Muth, after graduating from high school, took three years teachers course in one of the Pennsylvania state normal schools, graduating from that institution and afterwards teaching English and Latin in the same school for four years.

POSTOFF|CE TO BE
 ON WEST SIDE?

Although it is impossible to confirm the report, it is being cur rently rumored that the Conway postoffice will be located in a new building to be erected on the west side of the public square. Assist ant Superintendent Guy T. Gould was here Tuesday of last week to receive bids for the postcttlce site and look over the available loCa- tions. He declined to state what place he would recommend, but since his departure the report has gained currency that the west side of the public square would be the location of the ost office. Post master Owen, however, states that he has received no advice from the department and will not know un- til he hears from the authorities at Washington where the office will be situated. It is rumored i'll this connection that Charles w. Cox, form erly of this city and now Of Lit tie Rock, has purchased some of the vacant lots lying between the new brick blocks and the Hines hotel and that the lease for the new location would go to him, bur this rumor also could not be confirmed.
