73 years, 1 month and 23 days.
Funeral on Thursday, January 27,
1910, at 10:30 a. m.. at Elm
wood, Nebraska.
The many friends of Captain Mc
Calg, one of the early Nebraska pion
eers were shocked this morning to
learn of his sudden death last even
ing at his home at Elmwood. It had
not been known to his friends In this
vicinity that he was seriously ailing
and the news of his sudden taking
away came upon them with & sud
denness which was appalling. Cap
tain McCaig had a host of good
friends in this city who were deeply
grieved to learn of his sudden death.
He had lived in this vicinity for a
great many years and during that
time his acquaintances had extended
over all this part of the county and
he had come to be known as one
of the county's best citizens. The
most sincere sympathy of the en
tire community is extended to the
brothers of the decased of whom three
are still living. .
Captain McCaig was born in Ogle
county, Illinois, on December 2, 1836,
being a Bon of John McCaig, a man
born in the north of Ireland of High
land Scotch parentage, and many of
the sturdy traits of the father des
cended to the son. The young man
continued to live upon the Illinois
farm until the outbreak of the civil
war when he went to the front In the
war for the preservation of the un
Ion. He was made a second lieuten
ant in Company G, of the 74th 1111
noiB infantry in August, 1862, his
regiment being assigned to a place in
the 4th army corps under General
Thomas and seeing some of the most
severe service of the war. The young

yesterday morning after apparently
having rallied and when he was on
the way toward recovery. He had
been 111 for several years past and
at the time of his death, he was
staying in California for the. benefit
of his health. Letters received from
him since his visit to that section
had raised high hopes for his ulti
mate recovery as . he had written
most encouragingly and had conveyed
the assurance that he was recovering.
The deceased was quite well known
in this city and had a number of
warm friends to whom the news of
his death comes as a great shock.
He was a young man of more than
usual ability and had many qualities
which had warmed all who knew him
into personal friends. It is due to his
memory to say that few men stood
better in his home community than
he and few had so large a circle of
loving friends. It is not known yet
as to when his funeral will take
place, his father having departed for
California to accompany the remains
home at Nebraska City for Interment.
His mother was with him at the time
ef his death.
Death in Kansas.
Word was received ln this city
this morning of the death at Belpre,
Kas., of Mrs. T. M. Campbell. Mrs.
Campbell was the mother of C. D.
Campbell who died here several years
ago and was the mother-in-law of
Mrs. Ida Campbell living on Elm
street between Eleventh and Twelvth
streets. She will be burled at Oak
Hill cemetery in this city tomorrow

that promotion followed rapidly and
on June 27, 1864, he was promoted
to be first lieutenant. Just before the
close of the war an examination for
a captaincy was had and Mr. McCaig
passed triumphantly and after the
close of the war he received his
commission as a captain. His dis
charge from the army took place on
June 27, 1865.
After the close of the war Captain
McCaig together with his brothers
and his mother left Illinois and came
to Nebraska, settling near the town
of Wabash In 1866, and ever since
he had continued to make that sec
tion of the county his residence.
Captain McCaig was honored by
his neighbors in this county with an
election as a member of the legisla
ture In 1868, and at a special session
of that body, he took an active part
in the passing of the fifteenth amend
ment which was the business before
that body.
During the earlier years of his
life Captain McCaig was a strong
and ardent Republican but In 18S6
he followed the lead of Senator Tel
ler and the rest of that section of
the Republican party which bolted
the nomination of McKinley and be
came a member of the Silver Repub
lican party, afterwards affiliating
with the Populists. He received a
joint nomination of the Democrats
and Populists for the lower house of
the legislature in 1898, but was not
elected. But a few days since he
received the endorsement of his home
grand army post for appointment as
a member cf the soldiers relief com
mission of this county.
The funeral of this most useful
citizen will take place tomorrow
(Thursday) morning from his home
at Elmwood, the services taking

Some Plattsmouth People

their lives In their hands by neglect
Ing the kidneys when they know these
organs need help. Sick kidneys are
responsible for a vast amount of suf
fering and ill health, but there is no
need to suffer nor to remain in dan
ger when all diseases and aches and
pains due to weak kidneys can quick
ly and permanently cured by the use
of Doan's Kidney Pills. Here Is a
Plattsmouth citizen's recommenda
tion: J. L. McKInney, Lincoln Ave.,
Plattsmouth, Neb., says: "Doan's Kid
ney Pills, procured from Gerlng &
Co.'s drug store, have' been used it
my family and have brought prompt
relief from kidney disorders, after
other remedies failed. In 1906 I
publicly recommended Doan's Kidney
Pills for the benefit of other kidney
sufferers and at this time I have no
reason whatever to withdraw one
word from that statement."

UTTLE CIO
Bull Dog Knocks Little Girl
Down But Is Driven Off Be
fore He Injures HerJ
An attack by a dog on a llttie
5-year-old girl on North Sixth street
this morning serves to accentuate the
danger which the pack of dogs now
running at large in the city consti
tutes, just as foreshadowed in the
Journal of last evening. The little
child was going along the street in
the vicinity of the postofflce when
she was attacked by a large dog said
to be of the bull dog species. The
dog ln its vicious assault knocked
the little one down and was about
to tear her to pieces when some man
In a wagon which was passing at the
timed discovered the attack, seizing
his whip, he leaped from the wagon
and drove the animal off. It is said
that the child was not Injured as the
dog did not have time to bite or. tear
her before her danger was discovered.
The name of the man who rescued
the little child was not known to the
spectators neither was the name of
the little girl known for certain, al
though it U said to have been a
daughter of Max Herman, the man
whose cow was bo badly torn by dogs
several evenings ago. Immediately
after the dog had been driven off,
Chief of Police Amlck and Officer
Trout were told of the affair, and
made a search of the neighborhood
for the animal but wltliout finding
It.
Mayor Sattler Informed a Journal
representative this morning within a
few moments of the time of this as
saults, that he had ordered the po
lice to arm themselves and start out
on a crusade against the dogs but
they seemed averse to doing so. How.
ever, he stated that he was deter
mined to see that the animals wero
cleaned out and that ho would not
stop until this had been done. It Is
to be hoped that his determination
is carried out as there are too many
small children and women on the
streets to permit the animals to over
run the town as they have been do
ing. In addition to the cows of Messrs
Herman and Clifford being attacked
by the animals as told ln last even
Ing's Journul, a cow belonging to
Job. L. Thompson was made the Bub
Jeet of a vicious attack and was driv
en out of tho cow lot by a pack of
tho animals. They ran the cow over
to the home of Joo Fitzgerald who
nub

was awakened by the noise and who
hurried over to Mr. Thompson's and
awoke him. Together they got the
cow back in the lot where an exami
nation disclosed that she had not
been injured, although she was bad
ly frightened. This makes three cows
known to have been attacked whit
yet another cow was a victim of the
brutes.
Several persons who are well post
ed on dogs state their opinion that
the attacks of these animals Is a re
vision back to the wolf nature and
they strongly advise the Immediate
extermination of the beasts. Others
do not believe the attacks were caus
ed by hunger but regard it as the
outgrowth of playfulness on the part
of the animals. No matter which it
Is, the situation calls for some strong
action on the part of the authorities
for the protection of demestlc anl-t
mals and people from such attacks.
Mayor Rattler's orders to kill the ani
mals off meets with the approval ot
everyone with whom the reporter
came in contact and those who are
opposed to it are conspicuous by
their absence.
An investigation reveals that the lit
tle girl spoken of above as having
been attacked by the dog on North.
Sixth street, was not the - daughter
of Max Herman as reported. Her
Identity has not been ascertained as
yet but she was evidentally not badly
hurt. However, this does not alter
the case so far as killing the dogs la
concerned. They should be slaught
ered without mercy.
V. S. IlemiltliiK Officer Here.
