But as she glanced up she noticed a pe culiar look on Uucle Henry Clark's face, and then happened to think that it was the first day of April, so concluded she had been the victim of an April fool joke, and instead of rushing off for a doc tor and sending for the sheriff, she simply asked Aunt Pat for another cup of coffee that? was not medicated, and went ahead with her dinner. Pay the Costs. Plattsmputh, Neb., March 2. List spring Ben Cares of Dun bar presented to the council a pe tition with the required number of signers and asked for a saloon license. A remonstrance was filed and the license held up. The case was bitterly fought through the district court, and the remon strators won out, the costs being $432. The clerk of the district court sent a notice to each of the signers of the petition to come and pay the costs into the court the $432, or suit would be entered against them. There is now weeping and wailing among the signers, as they did not count on such a strenuous defense at the time they signed the peti tion." What happened in Dunbar might happen in Shubert, or any other town in the state. -Shubert Citizen. That languid, lifeless feeling thst comes with spring aud early summer, can be quickly changed to a fooling of buoyancy and euergy by the judicious use of Dr. Shoop's Restorative. The Restorative is a genuino tonic to tired, rundown nerves, and but a few doses is needed to satisfy the user that Dr. Shoop's Restorative is actually reaching that tired spot. The indoor life of win ter nearly always leads to sluenrish bowels, and to sluggish circulation in general. The customary lack of ex ercise and outdoor air ties up the liver, stagnates the kidneys, and oft-times weakens the Heart's action. Use Dr. Kings Restorative a few weeks and all will be changed. A few days test will tell you that you are using the right remedy. You will easily and surely note the change from duy to day. Sold by Dr. W. W. Keeling. Nemaha Bank Checks Good in Japan. The Bank of Nemaha on Wed nesday received back two checks on that bank that had been a long ways from home. Last April Andrew Aynes sent a check for $2.50 to William J. Bishop, a missionary in Japan, and January 1st of this year sent an other check for $2.75 to the same man. These checks came back the same day, although one was sent almost eight months after the other one. Both had been cashed, apparently without ques tion, by the "One Hundredth Bank of Specie" of Japan, H. or N. Takato, president, and by this bank sent to correspondent banks in New York City. Mr. rAynes didn't know whether a check would be accepted or not, but sent them as an experiment, and found a check on the Bank of Nemaha was good in any part of the world.
