Another stirring of the waters of,

FAMOUS TEIO ON VACATION
Ishpeming, Mich., Aug. 23.
Thomas A. Edison, vacationing with
Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone,
has completely recovered from a
sjight cold he contracted a day or so
ago, members of the party said.
Edison's sore finger is also better.
Ishpeming, Mich.. Aug. 23. The
vacation tour of Thomas A. Edison,
Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone
went ahead in upper Michigan today,
the trio invading L'Anse, site of the
Ford model timber mills.
Edison's slight cold and sore finger
were declared only "incidentals" to
such a vacation trip, and the "elec
trical wizard" was declared In the
best physical condition. Members of
the party denied rumors he was "ill"
and assert that he is absolutely o. k-

Cause of Appendicitis
When the bowels are constipated,
the lower bowels or large intestines
become packed with refuse matter
that is made up largely of germs.
These germs enter the vermiform ap
pendix and set up inflamation which
is commonly known as appendicitis.
Take Chamberlain's Tablets when
needed and keep your bowels regular
and you have little to fear from ap
pendicitis. Weyrich & Hadraba.
VISITING OLD FKEENDS
This morning the Wescott family
here was very much pleased to have
with them one of their old friends,
Fred Gallagher, who was formerly a
resident of Plattsmouth and left here
in the year 1890 and has since made
his home in the east and is engaged
in railroading. Mr. Gallagher is
now in charge of the rolling stock
of the New York Central, one of the
most active positions in the' line of
the officials and who has charge of a
great deal of the Important work of
the railroad.
entering the senatorial race, where
Congressman Shallenberger Is pretty
certain to be a contestant, jNorns
beat Morehead five years ago, and
the ex-governor is reported to feel
certain be could win with Norria out
of the race.. There are democrats who
say that Morehead would be satisfied
if the cards could be cut so that he
could again be governor, a job he
always liked and which, It is a fair
guess, he would have got a third time
if Wray bad not got into the contest
In 1920.
Uncertainty seems to exist as to
I whether Former Representative Nor
ton will be a candidate for governor
or for senator. Several democrats
who have been in a position to know
what Norton feels about It predict
that he will be a candidate for sen
ator. If Norris does not run, and they
say that as a dirt, farmer he ought to
clean the field. Democrats who are
friendly to Governor Bryan say they
expect Norton to file for governor.
The feeling exists among the dem
ocrats that next year will be a good
year to be on the democratic ticket.
They feel that the same forces that
have overthrown republicans else
where are at work In Nebraska and
that they have men who can make a
better appeal than any republican.
They are, however, a bit nervous
over the kind of a candidate for pres
ident who will be nominated. Oddly
enough, there is not much enthusi
asm among the leaders for McAdoo.
They say he would be strong with the
railroad men because of his liberality
with wages when he was director
general ot the railroads, but the big
German vote In the state is solidly
against him as a member of the last
administration and as son-in-law of
President Wilson.

in supreme court, to recover from the
Burlington what they claim are ex
cessive charges for hauling.
The total runs up into the thous
ands, and is bottomed on the fact
that the railroads charged them 3
cents a hundred when they think the
legal rate was a cent a hundred less.
The lower court decided in favor of
the railroads.
On behalf of the claimants a leng
thy brief was filed Friday in supreme J
court. They lay down a number of
legal principles they ask the court to
adopt. Among these are the follow
ing: 1 That a rate when publish
ed cannot be legally canceled by
tariffs naming new rates unless
the new tariff cancels the old
ones, and without a cancelation
the new ones are not made ef
fective: 2 That when two rates are
given it is the duty of the rail
road to see that its printed tar
iff sheets are correct, and the
shipper need not look behind the
printed sheet to find out the
rate;
3 That the fact that the
shipper knows' the published
rates are an error cannot alter
the law, and that tariff must be
construed according to its lan- -guage
and not its intent.
The rate up till September 27,
1920, was 2 cents, as the shippers
contend, while the railroad says the
rate was boosted along with others
by the interstate commerce commis
sion in July of that year. The claim
ants say that the supplemental tariff

even these experienced river men to

drove the boat on the crest of the

fishermen sought shelter by turning
