IP ALL the men and women who have used Peruna nd found it beneficial
should write testimonials giving the plain facts, we would bo overwhelmed
with certificates.
Rut only now and then one who has ten benefited !y lVruna atop to give any
pul.lic acknowledgement of a cure.
Various consideration prevent people from writing testimonials for publica
tion. Inordinate modesty, oversenaitiveneu and business considerations forbid
many people from writing testimonials who otherwise would le glad to do so.
All Classes Represented.
Rut in spite of all these considerations, thousands of people without any solici
tation whatever do write testimonials for Peruna.
We receive these from men of high degree and low degree, from the army and
the navy, from the hall of congress, from the colleges, from high othcials in the
church, from the society belle and the washerwoman, from the military man
and the civilian.
We have never put into print but a small per cent, of those actually received.
Sincere Testimony.
In presenting-the testimonial' of Admiral Hiohlxjrn we appreciate the high
rank of our testifier.
We feel sure that his testimonial will appeal to others as it does to us, that
nothing but a genuine wish to do others good would have impelled a man in such
honorable rank to give public testimony to any remedy, however valuable.
The Admiral is altogether too busy a man to answer letters of inquiry, but the
reader can rest assured that his testimony is given in his exact words, over his
signature.
Genuine Endorsements.
Our testimonials are and always have been given in the exact language of the
testifier, with which we take no liberties whatever in adding toorchanging them.
In the use of testimonials we have always received them properly signed, in
good faith, have published them in good faith, and if there has arisen a slight
misunderstanding concerning them, it has been some unavoidable complication
occurring after the testimonial has been furnished us.

"Having the fullest confidence in the efficacy of Peruna, both as a tonic and as
a remedy for catarrhal trouble, I commend its use in the strongest possible terms.
It -bould be in every household."
DUG UP THE POT OF GOLD
The Savings of Former Burlington Sec
tion Boss Who is Now Dead.
The Nebraska City News tells the
following story: John Olson, who was
for many years section foreman for
the Burlington railroad and who had
charge of the saction south of the city,
was a frugal man and he and his wife
saved all of their money, which they
received from work on the road and
the boarding of thesection men. They
had little faith in banks and places of
deposit of that nature and instead of
placing their money in the banks they
chanced it into gold pieces and saved
it. Fearing that they might be visit
ed by robbers or others who would
take away their hoardings they
are supposed to have buried it in a
cave which they bad near the bouse.
Mr. Olson was stricken with paraly
sis and for a long time was unable to
move. His son Gus came here from
Minnesota and was with him consid
erable prior to his death. After the
funeral the son and daughter left for
the north and last week the son re
turned again and going to the old
home begun digging in the cave,
which was in the side of the bank and
after digging down nine feet found
the iron pot with a lot of gold therein.
The reason for the pot being down so
deep was owing to the fact that the
bill kept caving Id and the cellar floor
tilled up. The son refused to say how
much money there was in the pot, but
it is thought, by those who profess to
know, there were several thousand
dollars worth of the yellow metal and
the father had hoarded it up so as to
enable him to purchase a farm and
going thereon and take life easy with
his children. But he was stricken
just when he considered himself in
the best of health and was unable to
carry out his intentions, as he would
not leave the house after he was strick
en, but gradually grew weaker until
the end.

Another Disturbance at Union.
Through reports from Union, it
would seem that the restaurant con
ducted by Hugh M. Townsley, was the
scene of another lively disturbance last
evening, when Alex Eaton, having ac
quired a good sized jag, entered that
place and attempted to run the house
to his own liking. The trouble en
sued, when he insisted on having a
quiet little game of cards to whice
the proprietor objected, and was sub
iected to abuse by Eaton. For a few
minutes "something was doing," and
when the smoke cleared away, several
broken arms, legs, and backs of chairs
and tables, was all that remained to
be seen of the furniture that previous
ly occupied the room. While Eaton
was amusing himself at "solitary
poker," the alarmed proprietor was
frantically endeavoring to get the
sheriff over the telephone.
The affray was reported to the coun
ty attorney, who expects to go to
Union tomorrow and investigate the
circumstances surrounding the affair.
This is the same Joint where a "Car
rie Nation act" was executed some
few weeks ago, and where a raid was
recently made by the sheriff and bis
deputy, who discovered flasks of whis
key packed in a hat box full of saw
dust. For this offense, Townsley was
bound over to the district court under
a $500 bond.

for the time being, that the Hock Is

continental mail business between
Chicago and Omaha. The change will
mean that Omaha and Lincoln mail
from the east in the morning will ar
rive here over the Burlington instead
of the Rock Island and that its arrival
here will be about one hour late. The
mail handling west of Chicago will re
vert to its old channels and the change
will bring about the order of things
obtaining before the Rock Island be
gan its vigorous contest for the mail
patronage. Incidentally this fight has
saved the government about $0.3,000 a
year, and the interest and investiga
tion it has developed may work other
savings. The Burlington made one
voluntary reduction in the price for
handling the transcontinental mail.

Editor's Recommendation.
Fred M. Armstrong, city editor, Daily

''It gives me great pleasure to be able
to recommend Peruna to everybody
who is looking for a first-class tonic.
Two bottles completely cured me and
now I am enjoying the best of health."
Congressmen Endorse Pe-ru-na
Hon. W. E. Andrews, Hastings, Neb.,
formerly vice-president of Hastings
College and ex-member of the Fifty
fourth Congress, writes :
"I cheerfully recommend the prepara
tion, Peruna, as a healthful tonic and a
successful remedy for catarrh in its
various forms."
Author Praises Pe-ru-na.
Mr. Robert K. Hanvey, well-known
author and lecturer, writes from 11 S.
Lincoln street, Chicago, 111.:
"I was in good health until about four
years ago when my back became lame
and sore. The pains kept increasing
with severe twitches and slow exhaust
ive aches. Having read of Peruna, I
decided to try it. I found relief in ten
days. Within three months I was well
once more. I give all thanks to Peruna."
Lincoln and "The Clansman."
The Southern people learned to re
spect Abraham Lincoln, the head of
the federal government, during the
civil war. They believed that had he
lived, reconstruction would have been
a peaceful reorganization, instead of a
bloody struggle. They knew that he
was a Kentuckian, and that he shared
the feelings of true southerners re
garding the negro problem. In his
dramatically sensational play, "The
Clansman," Thomas Dixon, jr., has
made skillful use of the ideas of Abra
ham Lincoln. From "A. Lincoln: His
Book" the federal president is thus
quoted: "There is a physical differ
ence between the white and black
races which makes it impossible that
they ever should assimilate or live on
terms of equality.
Mr. Dixon further avers that, realiz
ing this, Lincoln's plan for getting rid
of the race problem was to recolonize
the negroes into Africa. This plan
was interrupted by his tragic death.
It is not too lata to attempt it now.
In fifty years, calculates Mr. Dixon,
the nine million negroes on this conti
nent could be deported into Africa or
into the United States' insular posses
sions, where they could have a law, a
literature, a life and a flag of their
own. The muiderous shot of Wilkes
Booth laid the northern president low
in April, 1865, and northern radicals
of amazing folly men of the Thaddeus
Stevens' type grappled with the re
construction problem. They madly
thought that by a miraculous stroke of
law they could place the emancipated
negro on an absolute parity with the
white man. There ensued in the south
a reign of anarchy, misgovernment and
outrage that has hardly a parallel in
history. In "The Clansman," the
story of those times is vividly recalled,
and the Ku Klux Klan are glorified as
the saviors of the south from negro
and Carpetbagger injustice.
A Habit to Be Encouraged
The mother who has acquired the
habit of keeping on hand a bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy saves
herself a great amount of uneasiness
and anxiety. Coughs, colds and croup,
to which children are susceptible, are
quickly cured by its use. It counter
acts any tendency of a cold to result in
pneumonia, and if given as soon as the
first symptoms of croup appear, it will
prevent the attack. This remedy con
tains nothing injurious and mothers
give it to little ones with a feeling of
perfect security. Sold by F. G. Fricke

PIONEER WOMAN DEAD
Mrs. Rachael Audury O'Neil Passed Away
Friday at Hone of Daughter.
ONE OF THE FIRST SETTLERS IN COUNTY
Lived in "Old Barracks," the First Store in
Plattsmouth, Built on Winterstein Hill
by Husband, Jas. O'Neil, in 1853.
After several months of patient suf
fering, Mrs. Rachael Aubury O'Neil,
one of the very earliest pioneer woman
settlers of Cass county, passed away
Friday at the home of her daught
er, Mrs. Elizabeth Ilerold, with whom
she has resided for the past fouryears.
The deceased had been in very poor
health since last August, when she
was stricken with partial paralysis,
which has confined her to her room
until the end came, which although,
not expected, proved to be a great
shock to the many friends among the
older citizens of thiscommunity.wbere
she has dwelt for the past fifty-four
years.
Rachelf Aubury O'Neil was born in
Hocking county, Illinois, on the 27th
day of October, 1324, and when about
fifteen years of age was united in mar
riage to James O'Neil. They resided
in the above state until the rush for
the west began in '49, when with sev
eral children, they emigrated to Iowa,
locating just across the Missouri river
from this city, where Mr. O'Neil oc
cupied himself with agricultural pur
suits for several years. In the early
'50s, he together with Wheatley Mick
lewait, assumed control of the ferry at
this point, which was established in
1848 by a Mormon by the name of Le
beaus Coon.
The first permit to settle in Cass
county, which was then occupied by
Indians, was secured by Samuel Martin,
who with the assistance of Mr. O'Neill,
in the early spring of 1853 brought
over on the ice, the logs of his house
in Iowa, and they erected upon
Winterstein hill, a substantial two
story building known as the "Old
Barracks," for a trading house. This
building together with a smaller one
erected for a council house, are said
to be the first settlements in this
vicinity, and were later used for the
county offices.
The first school buiiding in this city
was also built by Mr. O'Neill in 1855,
and was situated on what was known
as Gospel Hill, in the vicinity of the
house at present occupied by W. H.
Newell.
The O'Neill family later built the
old home situated south of the Bnr
lington shops, a part of which were
built on land purchased from O'Neill's
claim. At the first county election
held in the year 1855, Mr. O'Neill was
one of tba judges in Plattsmouth pre
cinct, which together with Kenosha
precinct comprised Cass county at
that time. In this election, the late
L. G. Todd was one of the two justices
of peace, elected. Probably the first
action to be tried in this county was
brought before Judge Todd by Jas.
O'Neill vs James Raines, a forcible en
try and detainer suit, which the plain
tiff won.
Mr. and Mrs. O'Neill made their
home in the south part of this city, an
addition to Plattsmouth known as
O.Neill addition being laid out by him,
some time before his death which o&
curred in May 1880. After his demise
Mrs. O'Neill continued to make her
heme in the old place, until the child
ren being married, she made her home
with them.
To Mr. and Mrs. O'Neil, thirteen
children were born, but only six sons
and two daughters survive the mother.
These are: John II., Custer county,
South Dakota, who has been at the
bedside of the mother since last Oc
tober; William A., who resides just
across the siver in Iowa; Lafe of Ash
Creek, South Dakota; George, who
when last heard of, was in Goldfield,
Nevada, Frank, who is on the old
home place in the south part of this
city; Louis R. of Mt. Claire, N. J.;
Mrs. Elizabeth Herold of this city and
Miss Lydia Bodine of Orleans, Neb.
The arrangements for the funeral
have not been completed as yet but it
will likely occur Sunday from the M.
E. church, of which the deceased has
been a live-long member, the services
being conducted by the pastor, Rev.
J. E. Houlgate.

Many Changes to Be Made
A spring house cleaning time ap
proaches, there is contemplated also
among our business men in the way of
changing locations. Claus Speck will
remove his saloon to the Waterman
block in the room occnpled asabillarti
hall, and the billiard hall will occupy
the room to be vacated by Speck.
Waintraub will remove his stock of
goods to the Roberts building, third
door cast of his present location. The
room to be vacated by Waintraub will
be thoroughly renovated and placed In
shape for Kroehler Bros.' hardware
store, which is now located in the
Ilerold building, which, it is surmised
will be arranged for a department of
the Coates' dry goods company.
Several other changes are contem
plated, of which we are not at liberty
to mention at present.
OF VERY SHORT DURATION
Edgar Goff Released From Penitentiary
To Find Officer Waiting for Him.
During the spring of 1!'05 there were
frequent burglary of cars along the
Missouri Pacific between Plattsmoutb
and Auburn, and the detective force
of that road was puzzled to locate the
guilty parties. For some time the
police of thiscity had been suspecting
a colored man named Price and one
or two others of being interested in
the numerous small robberies and
thought they might be the railroad
thieves. On March 2o, 1905, a car was
broken into at the depot in this city
and several pairs of shoes taken. These
were found in possession of certain
parties and a confession obtained
which led to the arrest of Price and a
white man named Carr, and they were
taken to Plattsmouth, tried and con
victed on the charge of robbing a car
at Union, and sentenced to the peni
tentiary.
Today Goff's sentence ended and he
was given his liberty, but no sooner
had he doffed the stripes than he was
placed under arrest by Deputy Sheriff
Donovan and will be brought here
this evening and held to answer to the
crime of burglarizing the car in this
city. The police claim to have

NEW SERVICE PENSION LAW
Passed by Both Houses of Congress and
Approved by the President.
A new pension law, what is com
monly spoken of as the service pension
act, was approved by the president on
February 7, 1!M)T. This act reads:
Be it enacted:
Section 1. That any person who
served ninety days or more in the
military or naval service of the United
States during the late civil war or
sixty days in the war with Mexico and
who was honorably discharged there
from, and who has readied the age of
sixty-two years or over, shall upon
making proof of such fact according to
such rulesand regulations as the secre
tary of the interior may provide be
placed upon the pension roll, and en
titled to receive a pension as follows:
In case such person lias reached the
age of sixty-two years $12 per month;
seventy years 15; seventy-live years
or over $20 and such pension shall com
mence from the date of the filing of
the applacation in the bureau of pen
sions after the passage and approval
of this act. Provided. That pen
sioners who are sixiy-two years of age
or over, and who are now receiving
pensions under existing laws or whose
claims are pending may by application
to the commissioner of pensions, in
such form as ha may prescribe receive
the benefit of this act, and nothing
herein contained shall prevent any
pensioner or person entitled to pen
sion from prosecuting his claim and
receiving a pension under any other
general or special act.
Provided. That no person shall re
ceive a pension under any other law
at the same time or for the same
period that he is receiving a pension
under the provisions of this act. Pro
vided further, That no person who la
now receiving or who shall hereafter
receive a greater pension under any
other general or special law than he
would be entitled to receive under the
provisions herein, shall be pensioned
under this act.
Sec. 2. That rank in the service
shall not be considered in applications
filed hereunder.
Sec. 3. That no pension attorney,
claim agent, or other person, shall be
entitled to receive any compensation
for service rendered in presenting anp
claim to the bureau of pensions or se
curing any pension under the act.
The foregoing is practically the Mc-
Cumber bill, amendments eliminated,
the word "rebellion" softened to "civ
il war" and made provision to include
Mexican war "veterans" and is practi
cally a "service pension."
Except as to such as have pending
applications for increase, or are now
pensioned under other laws at a rate
less than $12 per month between sixty-
two and seventy or pension at a rate
of less than $15 at ages between seven
ty and seventy-five or who are over
seventy-five years of age receiving less
than $20 per month it seems that ap
plication is required executed on the
approved forms supported by proof of
age of applicant.
The certain way to secure the bene
fits provided is for each one the several
classes to make application under the
law unless now receiving under exist
ing laws a rate of pension in excess of
the schedule provided for above.
The question of disability does not
arise under this act, but age unless
heretofore shown, with service and an
honorable discharge is required.
