The Doctor Away From Home When
Most Needed.
People are often much dissappointed
to find that their family physician is
away from home when they most need
his services. Diseases like cramp colic
cholera morbus repuire prompt treat
ment, and have in many cases proven
fata! before medicine could be procured
or a physician summoned. The right
way is to keep at hand a bottle of
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy. No physician can pre
scribe a better medicine for these dis
eases. By having it in the house you
escape much rain and suffering and
all risk. Buy it now; it mav save life.

C. D. St. John captured a chicken

this family. Saturday morning he had
occasion to go to the quarry and in do
ing so he passed this fellow's place. In
vestigation followed and he captured the
miscreant. He showed fight but a couple
of raps over the head made him submis
sive. It is a 'coon four months old.
Charley will keep him for a pet.
George Sheldon of Ellenburg Depot,
N. Y., came out on a visit to his rela
tives here on Thursday morning. He
was taken in town by F. P. who took him
to the county seat to let him see the
country. Dave West wanted to know
why Frank wanted him to vistit the
grave yard first, but then Plattsmouth,
while she is slow, is not the deadest place
on earth. We are sure Mr. Sheldon will
be p'ea-ed with the trip.
Best Medicine in the World

"I find Chamberlain's Colic. Cholera

Remedy. I haven't been troubled with

very severe attack and took half a bot
tle of the twenty-five cent size Cham
berlain's Colic. Cholera and Diarrhoea

a r.ew man." For sale by F. G. Fricke

Bump the Water Wagon
E. A. Wurl's team which was left
hitched to a weight, a hitching arrange
ment which they have been in the
habit of using, while Fred McCauley
was making a delivery ran away this
morning carrying with them the hitch
ing device until they had freed them-
i selves from it. Down sixth street they
came, and clearing everything as they
went. At last they got to Main street
turning they corner, ran into the plate
glass window at Freid's drug store
breaking a hole in it and freeing them
selves from the wagon, went lickerty
larrup, on the pavement upsetting,
bales of wire and other things on the
walk, leaving the walk at about
Schaippacasse's store and went diagon
ally across and ran into the sprinkler
wagon in front of Bookmeyer's striking
with such an impact as to knock down
both horses, and the water wagon
running on to one while the other was
stunned and could not get up and were
easily caught. The damage to all con
cerned for which the runaway was re
sponsible is considerable.
Paying to Heirs $6,000
and Costs
The celebrated Polk-Kupkecase which
has been hanging fire for so long has at
last been settled, and is not now in the
court for future adjudication. In this
I case, Kupke and others brought suit for
the setting aside of a purchase of cer
tain lands in this county, which C. S.
Polk had secured from the plaintiffs in
this action, through means that were
not altogether considered fair, for a sum
away below what the property was
worth. At the trial in the district court
here, the verdict was rendered against
the defendant, Polk, and in favor of the
plaintiffs, the Kupke heirs and others.
Upon an appeal to the supreme court,
the decision of the lower court was con
firmed. Upon this the defendant secured
a new trial, and a second contest in the
district court resulted in the rendering
of a verdict in favor of the defendant
and against the plaintiffs. This was
likewise appealed and had been argaed
before the supreme bench, but no de
cision had been handed clown when it
was settled between the parties at suit.
Certain conditions were agreed upon,
and a certain date stated upon which
they should be complied with and have
been complied with and the case entirely
settled by Polk paying to the heirs ?f?,000
and the costs.

PAY FULL FARE
Western Passenger Associa
tion Issues Hew
Regulations
The western passenger association
has issued the following new rules re
lating to passenger business in states
where a reduced fare law is in effect:
"No reduced rates will be made on ac
count of clergy, charity or for inmates of
soldiers' homes, to, from or through
the states of Nebraska, Illinois, Min
esota or Missouri after June 3 or Iowa
after July 3, 1907, effective with the
new two cents per mile local passenger
fares in Illinois on July 4, 1907. Clergy
certificates will consequently not be hon
ored for clergy half tickets or any re
duced rate tickets from, to or through
any of those states, but may be honored
locally in accordance with the current
regulations between stations in other
states in Wyoming, in South Dakota,
in Wisconsin, in upper Michigan, ?.nd
between stations in Wisconsin and sta
tions in upper Michigan, until further
advice.
"Conductors will, therefore, not hon
or half tickets in connection with clergy
certificates in, to or through Nebraska,
Illinois, Minnesota or Missouri after
June 30, nor in or through Iowa after
July 3, 19U7.
"Interstate fares now current will
continue in effect until fui'ther advice
or until supresed by new tariffs taking
effect July 1, 1908, or later, and which
are being prepared as rapidly as possible
under the difficult conditions including
extent of territory and large numbers
of rates involved. Interstate excess
baggage rates to points to which present
interstate fares in tariffs prior to March
1, are in effect, will continue to be made
on the scale in General Excess Baggage
Tariff G. P. D. 24S-C-6, applied to such
interstate fares, until supresed by new
interstate fares in later tariffs, which
will give the schedule for excess bag
gage rates applying thereto.
"Round trip tickets Agents in states
having two cents per mile fares will note
tariff instructions providing for sale of
round trip tickets with limit of thirty
days at double new one-way fares, and
will please call attention of passengers
to such daily round trip rates, which are
as favorable as hitherto made for the
majority of special occasions, and will
endeavor to sell round trip tickets when
ever possible, and especially when meet
ings, fairs or other occasions drawing
considerable attendance might render it
inconvienient and possibly difficult to pur
chase return tickets at destination."

A Oheeful Worker
It is certainly a pleasure to see a work
man performing his duty in a cheerful
manner. His cheerfulness often keeps
the whole shop in good humor, even
those looking on work as an inevitable
evil. The cheerful man seems to do
his work" without getting tired, while
the grambler working with disgust
goes home from his work exhausted,
morose, discontent. It is plain that he
is not healthy. His digestion must be
bad and he needs Triner's American
Elixir of Bitter Wine. Why? Be
cause this remedy will put the organs
of digestion in perfect working order.
It will drive out of the body all those
particles that interfere with proper
nourishment; it will make new blood
which will carry food to every part of
his body. It will make him accept and
digest any food and enjoy it it will
make him cheerful. Use it always,
when your appetite declines cr when
you feel that everything goes wrong.

It has been only a short time, cor::-

road er.ire'v from the windy city in-!
stead of hiv'.r.z a double se t of officers,
one set --ast of the Missouri river and
the other set wet. !
In this time, howfver, :: number of j
department-, which were ri:n ; d --.- '- 1
ently west of the river have been ab
sorbed 1 v t'no Chicago end of the great
trunk line. The last change is in the
handlin" '. the relief department.
The Lin'-o'n News savs that after
August 1st Dr. T. P. Livingston of
Plattsmouth wiU not wear the title of
medical director of the svstem west of
the river. The entire management of
the relief department will be in the
hands of S-J-erintendent Redfern and
Assistant Superintendent Denny at
Chicago. Officers of the operative de
partment will not have jurisdiction then.
The medical and surgical corps of the !
relief will not be paid salaries or in
transforation after this date, as is the
practice now, 1 ut the fee syBtem will
prevail.

The relief department of the Burling

in existence over eighteen years. Dur
ing this time "t has paid out $5,572,01
in benefits. The department has nearly
24,000 members, which is a little over
50 per cent of the number employed on
the whole system. It is explained that
the per cent .f membership is kept
down because of the numerous changes
in some departments of the road. Be
