PLATTSMOUTH SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL.
THE MISSOURI
PACIFIC WRECK
OF YESTERDAY
The Track Was Cleared Late Last
Night and the Midnight Passenger
Went South on Regular Time.
From Saturday's Dally. .
The wreck on the Missouri Pacific
north of this city has been cleared
away sufficiently to allow the tracks
to be used, and the train service over
the road was resumed last night and
the midnight passenger was able to
make the trip south, although the
trains were compelled to run at a low
rate of speed through the scene of
the wreck.
The wrecking crew from Falls City
was on the job shortly after noon yes
terday and the work of removing the
wrecked cars was at once commenced
and the freight cars that were not in
jured were brought back to this city,
allowing the wrecker and derrick to
get in and start in on getting the
track cleared. The cars and the shat
tered locomotives were dumped on the
sides of the track to allow the clear
ing up of the wreck, and after several
hours' strenuous work the line was
final lv cleared. A number of the head
officials from Falls City were on the
job to supervise the work of removing
the debris.
The wreck will be a very costly one
and it is estimated that it will cost
from $10,000 to $50,000 to replace the
damage done to the rolling stock,
merchandise and claims from the fam
ilies of the dead men and the passeng
ers, almost all of whom will have
small claims against the company.
The bodies of the three dead men,
Engineer Mike Sherlock and Fireman
W. R. Goodman of the passenger train
and Head Brakeman J. E. Wilson,
were taken on into Omaha, where they
were prepared for shipment to their
homes. Sherlock and Goodman lived
at Kansas City, while Wilson resided
at Falls City.
The two injured men, E. L. Cotton
of Auburn, the baggageman, and W
West, the mail clerk, who were the
most seriously injured on the train,
were taken to the hospital in Omaha
as soon as possible, and it is now
thoutrht their injuries will not be
serious, although it was thought at
first that Cotton was injured inter
nally and West had suffered a broken
limb, but an examination at Omaha
failed to reveal any dangerous in
juries and the men will soon recover
from their injuries.
There were many reports circulated
as to the finding of the body of a
tramp beneath the wreckage of the
baggage car, but this proved without
foundation, as there was only the
bodies of the three members of the
train crews taken from the wreck.
The failure of the passenger train
to ascertain the fact of whether or
not the train they passed at La Platte
was 153 or not is clearly the cause of
the smash-up, as shown by the evi
dence, as the Burlington operator at
Oreapolis was not in a position to
check either train, as he had no orders
from this road.
LITTLE BOY BIT BY DOG
THAT MAY HAVE BEEN
EFFECTED WITH RABIES
From Saturday's Dally.
Yesterday a little son of Mr. and
Mrs: Jacob Benschoter, residing north
of this city at the Hamilton place, was
engaged in playing with a small dog
belonging to the family, when the ani
mal turned on the child and fcit it in
the hand, inflicting quite a nasty
wound, and this occasioned a great
deal of worry to the parents of the
little boy. who summoned medical as
sitance and the wound was dressed
The fear that the dog might perhaps
be affected with he rabies caused the
summoning of Chief Barclay, who
shot the dog and the head of the ani
mal was sent to Lincoln to be exam
ined to determine whether or not it
was a victim of the dread rabies. The
dog, however, did not seem in the
least to be sick or cross, and it is only
to be on the safe side that they had
the animal killed, as it had been a
great pet and all were warmly attach
ed to the little dog. The head of the
animal was sent to Lincoln this morn
ing by Dr. Sandin for examination.
Miss Rose Mae Creamer was an
over Sunday visitor in the vicinity of
Murray at the home of her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Charles L. Creamer.

From Saturday' Dall.
Yesterday afternoon Senator John
Mattes, A. P. Moran and George Oete
gen motored up from their homes at
Nebraska City to take in the sights
at the scene of the M. P. wreck, and
while in the city Senator Mattes took
the opportunity to drop in at the
Journal office and visit for a few min
utes with the editorial force. John is
looking fine and this has been his first

well pleased to meet the distinguished
and genial senator from this district.
A MISGELLANOUS
SHOWER IN HONOR OF
MISS ANNA SEDLQCK
From Saturday's Dally.
Last evening a most delightful mis
cellaneous shower was given at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Sedlock,
sr., in honor of their daughter. Miss
Anna, whose marriage to Mr. Thomas
Gradovilel will take place in the near
future. The pleasant event was ar
ranged by Mrs. Tim Kahoutek and
Miss H.ermia Gradoville, and the jolly
party of young ladies assembling at
the Kahoutek home, proceeded to the
residence of the bride-to-be and gave
her a very pleasant surprise, and for
several hours the Sedlock home rang
with merriment as the ladies carried
out their different "stunts" in the
games that served to pass the evening,
and in these contests Miss Anna Rys
won the king prize, while Miss Alba
Jirousek was awarded the booby prize
for the least proficiency in the games.
A mock wedding was one of the en
joyable features of the evening and
provoked a great deal of amusement
as the different members of the bridal
party performed their roles. A very
dainty and delicious luncheon was
served at a suitable hour, and before
departing each guest presented the
bride-to-be with a suitable gift for re
membrance in the years to come in
her wedded life. Those who were
present to enjoy the pleasant event
were: Misses Sophia Wesch, Mable
Donat, Marie Donat. Marie Svoboda,

AT THE GEM THEATER
WEDNESDAY NIGHT
From Saturday's Dally.
"Satan Sanderson," in which Orrin
Johnson, the Broadway star, plays the
leading lole, and which is announced
for appearance at the Gem theater on
Wednesday night, September 20, is
the third release of the B. A. Rolfe
Photoplay company, and is another re
lease of the newly formed Metro Pic
tures corporation, and in point of in
terest and continuity of story prom
ises to exceed anything heretofore
made injto pictures from a novel. The
story of "Satan Sanderson" is the
story of a wayward son whose way
wardness is inherited from a wayward
father, who in the autumn of his life
turned for the better. The taint is in
the son and it takes true love and a
faithful sweetheart to bring his manly
traits to the surface. "Satan Sander
son" is in five parts and is composed
of 300 scenes. In addition to Orrin
Johnson, the cast includes one of the
screen s most beautiful actresses,
Irene Warlield, who plays the part of
the blind sweetheart with a broad un
derstanding of the role.

Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Atkinson, who
for several years past have been mak
ing their home at San Francisco and

ty Barber Shop, and is on the job now.

EMPRESS VAUDE
VILLE AT THE PAR
L1ELE LAST NIGHT
Larger Audience Than Last Week and
All Were Delighted With Each
and Every Act.
From Saturday's Dally.
The appearance of the second com
pany presenting the Empress vaude
ville in this city last evening at the
Parmele theater was in keeping with
the former high-class attraction that
visited here for this circuit. The acts
presented were high-class in every
way and the ladies and gentlemen
composing the collection of artists
giving the program were all first
class. This vaudeville circuit is one
of the best in the west and the op
portunity to have it shown in this city
on each Friday evening is something
that cannot be passed up by the lovers
of high-class amusements, and the
circuit deserves a most generous
patronage in every way from the peo
ple of Plattsmouth, as it is not only
good, but is shown at prices that puts
it within the reach of everyone.
The bill last evening was composed
of acts that were all thoroughly en
joyed and was opened by the Clark
Sisters in their dainty and pleasure
able song numbers, in which they
made one great big hit with the audi
ence and received repeated encores,
and if they had listened to the ap
proval of the audience would have
stayed on the stage all evening. Lane
& Harper in their original comedy
sketch, "The Manicure and the Actor,"
were laugh-provoking and inter
spersed with their fun and jokes were
a number of high-class musical num
bers. One of the features of the even
ing that caused a great deal of in
terest was that of Gregoirre & El
mil a, "the furniture tusslers," and
they were not misnamed, as they
handled everything from a kitchen
chair to a large and heavy couch in
their balancing act. and when work
ing the couch balancing act out in the
audience there was considerable ex
citement occasioned for fear that the
couch would slide from the head of
the performers, where it was balanc
ed. Jessie Hayward & Co., in their
screaming farce comedy sketch, "The
Quitter," were received with marked
favor and their turn was very pleas
ing to everyone.
While the attendance was far better
than on last Friday, the high standard
of the show certainly deserved a
packed house, as it was worth having
every seat filled and encouraged in
putting Plattsmouth on the good show
map and get rid of the cheap and
poor attractions that so often visit
here, as the Empress is first-class and
up-to-date in every way and their
artists are the best that can possibly
be procured.
NEBRASKA PEOPLE EN
JOY PLEASANT DINNER
PARTY AT LOS ANGELES
From Saturday's Daily.
The following account of a gather
ing of former Nebraska people in Los
Angeles, California, has just been re
ceived from C. W. Sherman, one of
the Plattsmouth colony in the Califor
nia city, and the former publisher of
the Journal, that will be of much in
terest to the friends of these people
in this city:
On the evening of the 21st inst. a
most delightful dinner party was
given by Mr. and Mrs. J3en Elson at
their comfortable apartment home,
614 Loomis street, Los Angeles. Mrs.
Carrie Wilson of Lincoln, Neb., who
has about concluded her two months
visit to California, being the chief
guest of honor. Inasmuch as the host
and hostess and all of the guests pres
ent were former Plattsmouth people,
it can well be surmised that the oc
casion was in the nature of a reunion,
and of a very pleasant and lively char
acter and was richly enjoyed by one
and all. Among those present were:
Mrs. .Carrie Wilson. Captain L. D.
Bennett, Mrs. M. B. Murphy, Mrs.
John R. Cox and daughter, Helen,
Mrs. Sue Morrissey,, Mr. and Jlrs.

JAMES W. HOLMES DOING
NICELY AT THE HOSPITAL
From Friday's Dally.
Reports from the bedside of James
W. Holmes at the Presbyterian hos
pital in Omaha this morning state
that he is doing nicely and has come
out of the operation, which was per
formed yesterday afternoon, in much
better shape than was anticipated, as
his case of appendicitis was quite
acute and the gravest of fears were
entertained as to his recovery, but
with the apparent success of the
operation it is now more than prob
able that with the best of care the
patient will soon bo on the highway to
recovery, and this will be most de
voutedly wished for by his friends
here and in his home at Murray.
DEATH OF JUDGE TIB
BETS, ACTING POST
MASTER OF LINCOLN
The news dispatches from Lincoln
this morning state that Judge Addison
S. Tibbets, acting postmaster at Lin
coln, had died at his home in that city
at an early hour and very suddenly.
Judge Tibbets, who for years has been
one of the leading members of the
Lancaster county bar, had been in
failing health for several months, but
recently there was a marked change
for the better in his condition. He
was suffering from a complication of
liver and kidney troubles. Judge Tib
bets was appointed postmaster at Lin
coln to succeed the late Francis W.
Brown, and had been holding the of
fice only a short time. He was well
known throughout the state as a
prominent member of the democratic
party and had been active in the in
terests of W. J. Bryan and his prin
cipals. His death will cause a pro
found regret among his many friends
throughout Nebraska.
W. H. BUNCH SHOT TO
FRIGHTEN APPLE PICKERS
W. H. Bunch, who has had trouble
at his leased farm north of this city
over the fact that the owner of the
property had sold the apples on the
place to other parties, in frightening
the apple pickers off from his place
Friday afternoon, states that he di
not intend to injure any of the men
but only desired to protect his prop
erty rights in the matter, and if 1 e
had desired to shoot the men he could
easily have done so, but his only de
sire was to stop them in taking the
apples from the place, as they wee
his under his lease, so he states.
ONE WEAK SPOT
Many Plattsmouth People Have
Weak Part and Too Often
Its the Back.
Many people have a weak spot.
Too often it's a bad back.
Twings follow every sudden twist
Dull aching keeps up, day and night.
Backache is often from weak kid
neys.
In such case a kidney medicine is
needed.
Doan's Kidney Tills are for weak
kidneys,
For backache and urinary ills.
Plattsmouth people recommend the
remedy.
Mrs. F. S. Brinkman, Eleventh and
Pearl streets, Plattsmouth, says: "For
several years I was bothered by my
kidneys and my back often pained in
tensely. Headach.es and dizzy spells
bothered me and my sight became so
badly affected that J couldn't read. I
got a box of Doan's Kidney Pills at
Gering & .Co.'s Drug Store and in a
short time they helped me in every
way. I am never without Doan's Kid
ney Pills on hand."

on hand all the time, and for this time
of year it is going some. Mr. Davis

THE NEW HOME
4F MR. AW MRS.
W. J. STREiGHT
One of (he Prettiest Homes in Platts-1
mouth, and One That Will Do j
to Pattern After.
One of the prettiest homes in the
city is being erected by William J.
Straight on his lots on Oak street,
just opposite the St. John's church,
and when it is completed it will be an
object of beauty, as well as a most
cozy home, and is complete in every
detail It is a most commodious
structure and arranged with a view of
the comfort of the family in every
way and with all the model n con
veniences. The exterior of the house is pie
pared with the Kragstone marble
finish stucco, which is something new
and one of the most popular building
materials, in use in the east, and it is
the first house to be erected in this
city with this finish in use, and it cer
tainly presents a very classy and at
tractive appearance. This new prod
uct is manufactured by the American
Magnisum Products company of Chi
cago, and of which the Concrete Con
struction company of this city are the
western agents, and it is undoubtedly
one of the linest finishers for a build
ing that can be devised, as it is not
only very handsome, but also water
and fire-proof and combines a flexi
bility that makes it very much better
than other stucco products for finish
ing. It is manufactured in a number
of colors, but the gray marble finish
which Mr. Straight has for his new
home is one of the most popular on
the market. The work of placing the
stucco is being done by Mr. Robert
Williams of Chicago, a representative
of the manufacturers, and is a fine job
in every way and the work on the new
house looks as though it had all been
placed there with one sweep of the
trowl, so even and well arranged is
the marble effect.
The interior of the house, while it is
not nearly finished, gives one the idea
of how really comfortable and well ar
ranged it is. On entering from the
front one steps onto one of the most
charming poches that could be imagin
ed, both for comfort and artistic ef
fect, and from here one enters the liv
ing room, which is one of the largest
rooms in the house and which will be
one of the most attractive, and a
large cobblestone fireplace will be
built here, and into which will be used
stones from all parts of the Union, as
the friends have sent stones to Mr.
and Mrs. Streight from Maine to Cali
fornia. To the left of the living room
a neat den is built, and on the south
side of the house the dining room and
kitchen are constructed, which will in
sure bright, attractive rooms. On the
second floor four good-sized bed rooms
with ample closets and a fine bath
room have been placed, and in the
basement the furnace room and laun
dry are located, with a clothes shoot
leading from the bath room on the
second floor.
None Equal to Chamberlain's.
"I have tried most all of the cough
cures and find that there is hone that

JLt has never failed to give me prompt
relief," writes W. y. Harner, Mont-
