garding original investigation Of ir-
regularities which led 10 the whole

The witness was William NJ. Riten-
oer. deputy under County Clerk Al
len. Defense Attorney Sullivan asked
tho witness II he conducted an inves-
tigation in the office of the county
clerk last November while Mr.. Allen
was in a hospital for an operation.
He answered that he did. denying.

ton.

In answer 10 the question he de-
MED having received $500 from A. p.
Kelly. publisher of the North Platte
Telegraph. for conducting the inves.
agation or for any other purpose.
Special Prosecutor George Gibbs
then took up the cudgel aud succeed
ed in having entered much evidence
and testimony bearing directly on the
case.
Mr. Rltenour said his inyestiga-
tion was prompted by receipt of a
letter from an Omaha printing COM
pany. inquiring TO what items three
warrants. sent the company by Mr..
Allen. should be applied. lnvestiga-
tion by Mr.. Ri,eneur revealed irreg-
nlarities which led to the county

indictment of Allen and Goucher. 1t
was brought out. He told Of CORES
pondence he had with NJ. d. Tark.

f You Need a Medicine Y0uStOu|d Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why it is that so many products that are extensively advertised, all at once drop out of sight and are soon for gotten? The reason is plain-the arti- cle did not fulfil the promises if the manufacturer. This applies more par ticularly to medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain system the remedy is recommended by those who have been benefited, to those who are in need of it.
 A prominent druggist says ''Take for example Dr. xilmer's Swamp Root, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to rec ommend, for in almost every case it shows excellent results as many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy has so large sale."
 According to sworn statement and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the suc- cess of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact, so many people claim, that 1t fulfils almost every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments corrects urinary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism.
 You may receive a simple bottle of Swamp-Root by Parcel Post. Address pr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. r., and enclose ten cents; also mention this paper Large and rnadiun, s;,o bottles for sale at all drug stores.

BERGHARD STEINER

The pioneers and those also who knew him in later years have learned with sorrow and regret that Berghard Steiner, the "B. Steiner" of early Birmingham history and progress, is no more, having died at his residence in New York City. B. Steiner was a born civic leader. He was once president of the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce and a prominent figure in every movement that had Birmingham's good at heart. He was of that small group of buoyant pioneers who never consented to see the dark side and never failed to do their part in bring ing out the brighter one. MT. Steiner was pcturesquely eloquent and no local speaker was more forceful when talking for his city and his community. In his later years he devoted much time to an art collection pro- nounced one of the finest in America. AL though not residing in Birmingham for years, he never failed to show his faith and regard for the city and her people, who have not forgotten the services rendered and the de- votion given the cause of early Birmingham by B. Steiner.

war and the smoke which the former sena- tor seems to discern may be only vapor from the super-heated struggles for peace, but if the clash does come it will not be for us long to occupy the role of the spectator.
 Though we may remain aloof from en- tangling alliances in peace times, the ex- perience of the recent war shows that we could not escape the embodiment of another great upheaval in Europe. On the con- trary, so great is the force of precedent, we should probably be unable to hold aloof from participation for more than few weeks after hostilites became general. Such is the belief, at least, of many who have given their best thought to the changed and precariously balanced affairs of the world as they exist today Among them is MT. McAdoo. He recently gave it as his opinion that strong as we are we would find our selves still not superior to such forces as would be turned loose by another European war. As remote as we are, we are not ire proof. nor could we long stand by and watch the rest of the world burn up without attempting to put out the conflagration. Our interest, therefore, in the tense stua- ton in the Near East may be selfish, but 1t cannot be academic.
