TWICE-TOLD
TESTIMONY
Plattsmoulh People are Doing A!!
They Can for Fellow Sufferers
Testimony has been published to
prove the merits of Uoau's Kidney
ills to others in Plattsmouth who
suffer from bad backs and kidney
ills. Lest any sufferer doubt that
the cures made by Doan's Kid nev
Pills are thorough and lasting,' we
produce confirmed proof statements
from Plattsmouth people saying that
the cures they told of years aco were
permanent. Here's a Plattsmouth
case:
W. T. Cole, retired farmer, 608
.oeust street, Plattsmouth. Neb.,
says: "I contracted kidney trouble
while serving in the army. There
was a dull, heavy ache and lameness
across the small of my back that an
noyed me to quite an extent and at
times the kidney secretions were
ery scanty and accompanied with
pain in the passage. Reading about
Donn's Kidney Pills, I was led to
got a box nt Guiing & Co's drug
store and began their use. They
made a marked Improvement and en
tirely relieved me of my suffering."
(Statement given June 11, 1906.)
On December 29, 1908, Mr. Cole
added to the above: "I am Pleased to
renew the testimonial I gave two
years ago endorsing Doan's Kidney
ills. I advise anyone afflicted with
lumbago or any other kidney dis
order to give this remedy a trial."
Knginccr llnw klnson.
F. W. Hawkinson declines to be
labeled a hero. But If he continues
to Insist on this he ought to at least
accept a medal for remarkably ntpld
progress in technical study.
work engine, bucking up, with
a pile driver attached in front, col
lided with an engine driving a pas
senger train near LaPlatte Monday
The engineer and fireman of the
work engine, when they saw the col
lission was Inevitable, jumped, the
engineer first reversing the lever.
After the shock, In which the work
engine was not much damaged, It
Btarted ahead at high speed as a
runaway, pushing the pile driver
before it.
Hawkinson, a common laborer, was
the only one aboard. He knew noth
ing about an engine, but he clam-
bored over It from the front, entered
the empty cab, went to work to stop
the runaway. He had an Idea his
life depended on It, and quite likely
It did.
The whole works was a mystery to
him, but he turned the levers In turn
and finally turned the right one and
stopped the engine, but not until af
ter the train had gone on the Platte
river bridge and the raised pile
driver had broken down some over
head timbers.
The facts becoming known, the
Plattsmouth people put Hawkinson
in the hero class. He protests, but
that Is really where he belongs, for
a man can be a hero In saving his
own life as well as In saving the life
of another.
It Is unnecessary to say how mys
terlous the operating end of a U
comotlve" looks to the uninitiated
how bewildering the knobs, cocks
and levers. It takes nerve for one
who knows nothing about them to
meddle with them. It Is enough to
give the ordinary man an attnek of
heart failure. But to take a riina
way engine by the bit, so to speak
and by trying various Jerks bring it
to a stop is, to say the least, as he
roic as springing nt runaway horse'i
and stopping tlicm.
But. as we said, if Hawkinson will
not have It tills way, he can not ob

The old-fashioned concert given by

evening, was a success, both socially
and financially. 'As per request most
everybody came dressed in old-fash

One of the principal and perhaps
most entertaining features of the
evening was the musical program
rendered, which consisted of Instru
mental solos by Misses Kittie Cum

Miss Margaret Dovey, Messrs. H. S.
Austin, C. W. Baylor and several se
lections by the boys' quartet, tom-
posed of Clarence St ants. Glenn Scott,
George falter and Jennings Set vers,
all of which was most hlchlv anno

be present. . Following the program
refreshments were served which fur
ther augmented the pleasures of the
evening. The ladies realized a neat
