"I am glad to be able to said Supt. C. M. Miller of the county schools today, 'that there are enough teachers in tfae county now holding certificates to fill all the' schools of the county. "I have been desirous of reducing the number of permits issued to the minimum and this year it is much less than in sometime before.

There, are some teachers who have been unable to get certificates who have engaged schools but I think that this year there will be very few teaching who will not' have certificates." The schools the county over are beginning for the fall term quite generally now and with this Tnealthy condition of affairs noted by the superintendent existing there should be much better work done in the rural schools of Johnson county the coming nine months than ever before.

Nelson, of Naples, Maine, says in a recent letter: "I have used Dr. King's New Discovery many years, for coughs and colds, and I think it saved my life. I have found it a reliable remedy for throat and lung complaints, and would no more be without a bottle than I would without food." For nearly forty years New Discovery has at the head of throat and lung remedies. As a preventive of pneumonia, and healer of weak lungs it has no equal. Sold under guarantee atJ.H.

C. RENO PASSED AWAY Died in Washington State--Burial in Marengo. Col, B. C. Reno, a cousin of- C.

M. Reno of this city, and a brother of Major General Reno of the Civil War, will be buried in Marengo tomorrow afternoon from the Episcopal church at that place. Rev. D. Williams of Trinity church in this city will be in charge of the funeral.

Col. Reno was a member of the staff of Governor Carpenter and is remembered here by many old residents. This was the home of the father for a time and the deceased himself was once employed in the bank of Culbertson Reno. He was a prominent business man of Marengo formerly but for some lime tiast he has lived with his children in Nedro Woolley, Wash. Mrs.

Peters of Los Angeles, is in the citv for a few having accompanied her mother, Mrs. Davis of Columbus Junction, to this city for treatment at a local hospital. Is very careful about her churn. She scalds it thoroughly after using, and gives it a sun bath to sweeten it. She knows that if her churn is sour It will taint the butter that is made in it The stomach is a churn.

In the, stomach and digestive and nutritive tracts are performed processes which are almost exactly like the churning of butter. Is it not apparent then that if this stomach-churn is foul it makes foul air which is put into it? The evil of a foul stomach is not alone the bad taste in the mouth and the foul breath caused by it, but the corruption of the pure current of blood and the dissemination of disease throughout the body. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery makes the sour and foul stomach sweet. It does for the stomach what the washing and sun bath do for the churn-- absolutely removes every tainting or corrupting element.

In this way it cures blotches, pimples, eruptions, scrofulous swellings, sores, or open eating ulcers and all humors or diseases arising from bad blood. If you have bitter, nasty, foul taste in your mouth, coated tongue, foul breath, are weak and easily tired, feel depressed and despondent, have frequent headaches, dizzy attacks, gnawing or distress in stomach, constipated or irregular bowels, sour or bitter risings after eating and poor appetite, these symptoms, or any considerable number of them, indicate that you are suffering from biliousness, torpid or Jazv liver with the usual accompanying indigestion, or dyspepsia and their attendant derangements. The best agents known to medical scl- ents for the cure of the above symptoms and conditions, as attested by the writings of leading teachers and practitioners of all the several schools of medical practice, have been skillfully and harmoniously combined in Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. That this is absolutely true will be readily proven to your satisfaction if you will but mail a postal card request to Dr.

K. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. for a free copy of his booklet of extracts from the standard medical authorities, giving the names of all the ingredients entering into his world-famed medicines and showing what the most eminent. mcdiL-al iiien of the age say of them.

REUBEN JONES DEAD Pleasant Passed Away Yesterday. Reuben Jones died at his home in Pleasant Valley township yesterday.

He was a member of the Des Moines Lodge of Redmen for seventeen years and the remains will be shipped to Des Moines for interment. The members of the family surviving are the wife and four daughters, Mrs.

Hopwood and Miss Grace Jones, both in Kearney, and Miss Beneatta and an infant daughter at home- THE TREE PARLIAMENT The Park Bridge Again. Editor Citizen: I see by the last issue of the Citizen that the contractor the park bridge is soon to commence some preliminary work upon the park bridge. Can it be possible that the tax payers of Johnson county are to sit idle and see this get rich quick contract go through without a redeeming feature to commend it. If the contract price were right the bridge itself is all out of joint with any thing spanning the river and is illy planned for the place it is to go. As pointed out heretofore, it is unnecessarily long; the roadway too narrow even with walks on.

When this bridge was first planned it was to be two spans of 175 feet each with steel joists and side walks. This was upset at the letting as being too high and the board then entered into a contract for two spans of 165 feet each, leaving off the walks and steel joists for no competition. Then came a running fire that lasted nearly a year to change the plans and the contract to three spans and to increase the lengths from 165 feet to 175 feet to each span, added on one whole span and twenty feet to the other two spans. There were weekly and monthly meetings by' the board and the contractor. At who's request The contractor of course.

He and he aione was the one to be benefitted by this change. These constant meetings were continued the better part of a year while these changes sought for by the conrtactor were in stew. It took some hypnotizing and hot air upon the part of the contractor to produce such frenzied financiering upon the board's part. For never in the aistory of Johnson county was such high financiering been attained by any board of supervisors and all this without competition. In years past we had boards that were old fashioned They did not go rainbow chasing and therefore never rose very high as frenzied financiers.

But they seemed to get along cretty well in competition as the figures for the following five bridges built by them across the river shows: Oxford spans 150 ft tressel 164 ft Dupont spans 200 ft tressel 100 ft Roberts spans 265 ft Mehafrys spans 300 ft tressl 200 ft Butlers spans 360 ft tressel 140 PROFESSIONAL CARDS 1275ft 604ft Total feet of both 1879 ft. The total cost of these contracts by bridge are as follows: Oxford, 3800.00 Dupont, 3700.00 Roberts, 3235.00 Mehaffys 5435.00' Butlers, 8800.00 Total cost five bridges, $24,970.00 There competition with all these bridges and the hauls were long cei.t the Butlers bridge. Tbr; writer built all of these bridges except the first here named and was beaten in competition upon this bridge and therefore lost. Everything was fair and above board and the result of these lettings indicated a clear idea by each and every member of what they were there for. A representative for the people and not any bridge man and the result shows five bridges of 1879 feet cosing J24.970.00 while this park bridge is to cost and a short haul.

That is for three pans only; no filler tressel work. Where will you be when that is in. Better put oft another year still as you will need it to complete the bridge. The whole thing indicates the worst brain storm that ever struck this county in the way of a bridge contract. Why you can build a Milan concrete steel ribs that will last as long as the pyramids for about this contract price.

Yours, J. E. Jayne. STREET CAR CONVERSATION. While riding on street car recently, Mr.

Geo. H. Day, an insurance man of Milford, was pleased to learn that a fellow passenger was from Des Moines, Iowa, as it brought back to him an incident which he has every reason to remember. In the conversation which followed, Mr. Day said: "Your city is to me the most famous of any in the west.

Several years ago', I was completely cured of a bad case of colic by Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, which is made in Des Moines.
