Organize for Protection
A meeting at Elmwood last Wed
nesday which had in view the pro
tection which otter avecues have not
furnished, the stopping of marauding
bands who with seeming impunity
rob stores and commit other depre
dations; at which time they organiz
ed a vigilant committee with repre
sentatives from Elmwood, Manley,
Louisville, Murdock and Plattsmouth.
There were present from Murdock at
this meeting Messrs H. A. Tool and
J. E. McHugh, while Louisville was
represented by Harvey Koop of the
Home State Bank: of Louisville, C. E.
Noyes, Art Stander and F. H. Nich
ols. They are expecting all the
towns in the county to become mem
bers of this organization, with the
hope that the county can be cleared
of the pest of burglars and petty
thieving for surely it has been a loss
to the merchants, banks and citizens.
Murdock Has a Costly Fire
With the burning of the late home
of Mrs. George Melvin, which they
recently sold to Louis Hornbeck and
which was vacated some three weeks
since, Murdock sustained a v-ery ser
ious loss, as this was a very beauti
ful home and cannot be replaced for
anywhere near the insurance which
was on the place. Mr. Hornbeck sus
tained a severe loss in the building
and to the trees which were a very
great asset to the property and were
quite badly damaged as one side was
scorched badly.
This is another object lesson for
the hustling village as to the need
of a water works system which could
be relied upon to render service to
the community in case of fire. Not
alone would it help in this way, but
with it, the insurance rate-could be
lessened materially and in this way
made to pay part of the cost of the
installation of the plant.
This Is the second costly fire
within the past few years, the other
one not alone exacting a money cost,
but taking a business and family
from the town.
Will Drive to Sunny South
W. H. Rush has just purchased a
new Dodge truck which he will
drive to Texas in a short time. He
is having it arranged so as to be able
J to sleep in it, and after his sale,
i which will occur-on August SOth, he
iand Mrs. Rush, accompanied by Gust
;Gakemeier, will depart for the south,
tiiey taking two cars the truck and a
i touring car, and expect to be on the
road about eight or ten days. Mr.
and Mrs. Rush will make their home
in the south and improve and make
a home out of the land which they
purchased when down there recently.
When Will Plattsmouth People Learn
the Importance of It ?
Backache is only a simple thing at
first;
But if you find 'tis from the kid
neys; That serious kidney troubles may
follow;
That dropsy or Bright's disease
may be the fatal end.
You will be glad to know the fol
lowing experience.
'Tis the statement of a Platts
mouth citizen.
Wm. Hassler,, proprietor of black
smith shop. Fifth and Oak streets,
says: "I know, the straining work
I have had to do most of my life as
a blacksmith caused my back to
weaken. Many times I have been
down shoeing a horse when a sharp
stitch tcok me through my kidneys
and hurt severely. My back was
stiff and lame at times. I started to
use Doan's Kidney Pills and they
soon corrected the trouble and made
my back strong again. About two
boxes from Weyrich & Hadraba's
Drug Stare was all I had to use. I
can work every day now and give
Doap's the credit for my good condi
tion. I always keep Doan's on hand
and take them occasionally to keep
my kidneys well and they never
fall."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills the same
that Mr. Hassler had. Foster-Milburn

NEB,
CITY TREAT
It had been rather a cheerless day.
The sun had not come out, though at
times it had seemed as though surely
In but another moment the sun would
come out.
And it had not really rained though
at times there wes a drop or so of
rain which made people carry their
umbrellas and wear their robbers.
Suddenly . the sky creatures thought
they would give the city people
party.
"Let's give bo me of those people
who Jive In all those many, many
apartment houses some lovely 6ky
treats," said the King of the Clouds
to Mr. Sun, and Mr. Sun thought the
Idea was an excellent one.
"Of course," the King of the Clouds
said, "all of the people will not be able
to see us. They may not have win
dows which will look out Just the way
to get all the effect as I notice that
Mother Rainbow over there has been
shaking out her best frock. But many
of them will see ns Oh, yes, we must
s.11 go."
"It will be splendid," said Mr. Sun.
"and I think It was a nice suggestion
of yours, King of the Clouds.
"I often fed sorry for people who
only look out upon gray houses and
the backs of houses and they get so
nsed to looking at houses they really
don't look ap at the sky half enough.
"Oh, but we'll make them look up
today." said the King of the Clouds.
And all of a sudden the earth people
were surprised by the beginning of
the treat given to them by the Sky
People.
It began to ponr with such a gay
flourish and dash. It was not like a
steady downpour at all. It was a great
and tremendous shower. A wonder
ful, exciting shower.
One lady telephoned to another In
the city.
"It's the most terrific shower I've
seen In many a day," she said.
And the lady at the other end of
the telephone said, "It Isn't raining up
here at alL"
But no sooner had she said that
than she added, "Oh, yea. It's Just
beginning now I Oh, it's a terrific
downpour, tool Dear me, I shall have
to ring off, I must see that my wu
dows are down."
For the King of the Clouds bad sug
gested to his children that they run
races from the lower end of the city
right up to the very furthest end,
wliich was exactly what they had
been doing.
Then as the children had raced right
up town along came Mr. Sun and he
and the King of the Cloads laughed
and chatted and even sang songs.
Then came Mother Rainbow and the
Rainbow Brothers and all the Rain
bow children dressed In their best.
Mother Rainbow had them all grouped
together according to their costumes
just as she always does. The ones
with costumes which were partly of
one color and partly of another were
the ones who were grouped between
two distinct colors.
Oli, how lovely they all looked! And
some went down very close to the
"The City People Stood at Their
Windows."
earth and some were high up in the
sky. The city people stood at their
windows and called' to each other.
"Oh, a beautiful rainbow,' they
said.
"See ! It is a double rainbow," said
another.
"And doesn't the sun look pretty
through the rain?" said another.
"How beautiful it all is," said yet
another.
And the Sun and the King of the
Clouds and the Army of Raindrops
and Mother Rainbow and all of the
Rainbow children smiled their gayest
and best and most wonderful smiles
and the city people smiled, too, scarce
ly realizing that they w ere smiling.
"Call for the Cloud Fairies," said
Mr. Sun to the King of the Clouds,
and then they came. Oh, they were
so lovely I They wore golden and sil
ver costumes decorated with fluffy
white collars and cuffs and hats and
though from the earth' they couldn't
be. Keen very distinctly, their lovely
bright flufflness could be seen.
Theq Mother Rainbow grew dim
mer for she was taking the children
back home with .- her as they had a
marching lesson to take before bed
time. They had to learn to be so
quick about marching to ihe right
position when they were to appear
before the earth people. But It had
been a beautiful treat. And the city
people rejoiced In the glory they had
BON
seen. i
The times when the victorious armies of Ancient
Rome returned with their war booty and slaves, when
they gave the Romans the times of their lives, will be

WRESTLE WITH
President Coolidge Asks Governor of
Pennsylvania to Aid in Settle
ment of Anthracite Feud.
Washington, Aug. 24. President
Coolidge today called in Governor
Pint-hot of Pennsylvania and request
ed him to make a further effort to
mediate the differences between the
anthracite miners and operators and
avert the strike threatened for Sep-
1 tember 1.
Governor Pinchot accepted the
task and left immediately for Har
risburg, where he promptly got in
touch with the two warring factions.
The governor said he had not de
cided whether he. would summon the
opposing leaders from Atlantic City
or go there, but will follow which
ever method seems to hold out the
best hope of brining an agreement.
Atlantic, City, K. J., Aug. 24.
The action of President Coolidge in
placing Governor Pinchot of Penn
sylvania in virtual charge of the an
thracite strike situation took both
operators and miners by surprise to
day. The operators privately expressed
disappointment that the president
himself had not taken a direct hand
in attempting to bring about a set
tlement. They declared the strike
danger was not a "state affair" but
a "national problem."
The also asserted New York state
and New England, which resented
the tonnage tax of the state of Penn
sylvania, would likewise resent the
placing of Governor Pinchot In
charge of the anthracite problem.
The miners declared they saw in
the president's action the plan of the
government to keep hands. off and
to give the union the chance to carry
out the threat of John L. Lewis, pres
ident of the miners, "to administer to
the operators the worst trouncing in
their career."
Meanwhile they went ahead vigor
ously tonight in preparation for a
strike September 1.
What was in reality a strike order,
but was called "rules for a period of
suspension," was sent opt today by
the full scale committee of the Unit
ed Mine Workers. The committee
members then returned to their
homes.
BUELINGT0N VETS TO MEET
The Burlington Veterans' associa
tion will hold its annual meeting
and dinner at the Lincoln chamber
of commerce on Monday, September
3 at 6 p. m. and a very large attend
ance of the members is being looked
forward to by the committee in
charge from all over the system.
The veterans' association now has
1,000 members and that many more
can be secured from the list of em
ployes is the belief of the manage
ment of the association.
Quite a number of the old em
ployes of the Burlington are living
in this city and have been active in
the affairs of the association in the
lats few years and the veterans all
greatly enjoy the yearly opportunity
of getting together in a fraternal
meeting at which the. old days in
railroading are discussed.
DOING OMAHA DEVELOPMENT.
The, Olson Photo company of this
city has been called upon the last
few days to handle a great deal of
photo development work from Omaha,
owing to the fact that the muddy
water that is being pumped through
the city water system is unfit for this
line of work and in order to keep
their services up the Omaha compan
ies have to send the work to outside
points of which Plattsmouth is the
most convenient.

COOLIDGE AND
CAPPER PICKED AS
RUNNING MATES
By Former Kansas Congressman,
Phil Campbell; Justice Clarke
Democrats' Nominee.
Washington, Aug. 24. Coolidge
and Capper as the republican ticket
in 1924, was the prediction here to
day of Phil Campbell, former repre
sentative from Kansas and chair
man of the house rules committee in
the last congress. He said:
"Coolidge will be the nominee of
the republican convention, in my
opinion. His running mate will be
Senator Capper of Kansas. Condi
tions are maturing in that direction.
Capper is identified with the farm
ing interests to a larger extent, per
haps, than any other man in public
life.
"The farmers are being recognized
as a political factor more than ever
before. It is not unnatural to sup
pose that a man of ability, not wild
with crazy reforms, who does not
make intemperate, exaggerated state
ments, might be chosen.
"Both parties will pay more at
tention to the selection of vice presi
dential candidates than they have
for many years in the past.
"The rural farmer isn't saying half
as much as demagogues and politi
cians would have you believe. He
has a hard time, but not half as
hard as these men would make you
think he has. lie is paying his debts
has good crops, is diversifying and
getting on his feet."
Campbell picked former Supreme
Court Justice Clarke of Ohio as the
democratic presidential nominee, but
said the -only candidate whom the
democrats would have a chance of
electing would be Senator Under
wood of Alabama, "who cannot get
the democratic nomination." He
added:
"When the time comes for the dem
ocratic convention to make a selec
tion, 'the silent man on S street'
(Woodrow Wilson) will send down
the word that Clarke is the man and
he will be named."
BACK FROM DENMAEK
Henry Mogensen left May 1st for
Denmark and spent almost four
months visitipg and sight seeing in
the country of his birth. He feels
that Denmark is a beautiful country,
so much more beautiful than he real
ized until he went back and traveled
over it.
He said there were only about two
weeks of warm weather while he was
there and the folks thought it very
unusual, but Henry didn't think it
very hot.
He brought a cousin, Wm. Rasmus
sen, home with him. who visited
here for a few days this week, then
left for Denver, where he will make
his home.
Henry came home looking fine and
had a happy summer, so he is ready
to get down to business and take up
the burden of every day life again.
