IS YOUR WORK HARD?
Many Plattsmouth Folks Have Found
How to 2Iake Work Easier.
What is so hard as
a day's worl; ;
with an aching back?
Or sharn stabs of pain at
everv
sudden twist or turn?
There is no peace from that dull
ache.
No rest f rem the soreness, lame
ness ami weakness.
Many folks have found relief
through Doan's Pills. They are a
stimulant diuretic to the kidneys. '
Plattsmouth people recommend
Doan's.
W. Landis, farmer. Lincoln Ave..
Plattsmouth. says: "Heavy work,
strained my kidneys and they acted
irregularly. Th kidney secretions
were scanty in passage, scalded and
were highly colored, t"o. A dull ache
settled across my back and when I
stopoed to lift anything, I could
hardly straighten. I felt weak and
tired out. After using Doan's Pills
from the Mauzy Drug store, the
trouble was corrected."
Mr. Landis is only one of many
Plattsmouth people who have grate
fully endorsed Doan's Pills. If your
back aches if your kidneys bother
you, don't simply ask for a kidney
remedy ask distinctly for DOAN'S
PILLS, the same that Mr. Landis had
the remedy backed by home testi
mony. 60 cents at all dealers. Fos-ter-Milburn

Dr. H. 9. Munson
Manley Physician
Takes Own Life
Body of Physician Found Yesterday
Afternoon Hanging From a
Safter in His Office.

From Thursday's Daily
Yesterday afternoon the body
was found hanL'ins from a rafter in ,
his oitlce at Manley. the man having
apparently
btn dead for a number j
of day.-s.
, , . ,n.1jLu ' i
was""
of the general store on the first floor
of the buildi;.g rnd on the upper !
floor of which building the office of
the physician was located. The own
er of the building was attracted by
the strange odor that came from the
closed door and forcing entrance the
dead body was found swinging from
the improvised rope and in a very
bad condition.
The suicide had been carefully
planned as the physician had cut out
a hole in the ceiling of the room
to reach the rafter from which the
rope formed of strips torn from a
bed sheet had been fastened. Dr.
Munson had evidently stood on a
chair when preparing the rope around j
his neck and had then stepped off ;
me cnair io u.e oi strangulation.
The last time that Dr. Munson
was seen alive was on Monday night '
when he visited the village pool hall
and at that time he was very des
pondent over the lack of business
and it is thought that the suicide
occurred when the doctor returned
to the office that evening. There
was nothing thought of the fact that
the physician had not been seen as
it v.as is custom to leave his office
sometimes for several days at a time
and it was not until the grewsome
discovery was made yesterday that
any intimation was had of the rash
act.
County Attorney AV. G. Kieck was
notified of the finding of the body
and with Sheriff E. P. Stewart drove
over to Manley yesterday afternoon
to investigate the matter and as
there was apaprently no doubt as
to how the death occurred there was
no inquest held over the body. The
body of Dr. Munson was taken to
Louisville where it was interred to
await work from relatives as to their
wishes for the final disposition of
the body.
Dr. Munson came to Manley from
Julian. Otoe county, about a year
ago and was for three years in
practice at Julian. He has paid lit
tle attention to his practice while
at Manley and was apparently in
ill health and very despondent dur
ing the greater part of his stay at
Manley.
Tlie friends at Manley state that
the physicians had told them that
he had been divorced from his wife
for a number of years. He is sur-
vived by one son, Harold Munson of
Sioux City and a sister, Mrs.
Millie,
Severance of Omasa.

Class of 1926
Bids Farewell to
the High School
,
Class of Forty-Five Young Men and
Women Pass Out of School Life
to Enter on Careers.
From Saturday's Daily
Last evening at the auditorium
the Plattsmouth high school was en
acted the reaching of the goal of the
four years course of study of the class
of 1926 a proud and happy moment
for the students and one that, while
causing rejoicing among the fortu
nate students, was not unmixed with
regret at the parting hour of pleas
ant school associations and the demo
cratic friendships that mark the great
American common school system.
The commencement exercises were
enjoyed by the usual large audience
that filled the auditorium to its
capacity, as each class that leaves the
school has its proud and happy parents
and relatives and warm friends who
gather to do the class honor and speed
the students with encouraging words
onward to their career that awaits
1 them outside the portals of the school
in the great world that is to them J
! still an uncharted sea on which their
bark must sail to safe harbor or to
strew in wreckage on the beach.
I The class entered the auditorium
as the processional was played by Miss
Estelle Baird. member of the high
school faculty, and it was an inspir
ing sight as the young men and
women took their seats upon the
platform, fifteen young men and
twentv-eight young women, two of
the class being absent, Connie Allen,
who has joined the Marines and has
left for the training camp, and Miss
Helen Clement, whose illness prevent
, her attendance.
The class roll of 1926 was as fol
i lows :
j Connie Allen, Elsie Allen, Lorene
;Ault. Violette Begley, Helen Clement,

offer the large and splendid class at
the commencement and for the oppor
tunities that had been given through
the christian teaching of the great
civilization of today.
Miss Lorene Ault, member of the
class gave a very artistic piano num
ber, "The Two Larks," by Lescheti
zky, this being presented in a very
finished manner by the young artist.
The salutatory of the class of 1926
was given by Miss Miriam Tritsch,
one of the honor students who wel
comed the friends and relatives to
the commencement occasion and ex
pressed the regret of the class at the
parting hour of the school and the re
j0it in at tne attainment of their
SOal. They had prepared themselves
for the tapkg that wpre bofore them
n, r1nslc. fllU tvloir nt.iiP-ntinn tn
the members of their families and tile
school board, the teachers and the
taxpayers for the opportunity that
had been given them to reach the
climax of their school work. The co
operation of the other classes of the
high school also had played a part in
the securing of the success that was
only possible through the high school
education as a basis for their future
life.
The valedictorian of the class, Miss
Edna Klinger, gave voice also to the
appreciation of the class for the
benefits of their education and the de
sire of the members to make good in
their future activities and the great
aid and support that the members had
received from the fathers and the
mothers of the members of the class
in getting the opportunity of securing
their splendid advantages. The class
was leaving the platform of the grad
uation night with the wish and the
goal of making the most cf their op
portunities and repaying in this way
the sacrifices that had been made in
advancing them on the highway
of life. The development of the
high school life was compar
ed by the speaker with that of a
rosebud, the freshmen, the first start
ing bud that unfolded in degrees as
sophomores and juniors and emerged
as a full blown rose as the seniors.
The mission of the class the speaker
stated was to secure success and shed
happiness as they journeyed forth on
the highway of life.
Miss Catherine Schneider, one of
the talented young musicians of the
city and whose talents have been a
great factor in the school life, was
heard in a very charming vocal selec
tion, "Advice," the accompaniment
being played by Miss Alice Wooster,
another member of the class who has
attained a large measure of success,

thoroughly and in a most interesting
manner traced the development of
the educational system of the United
States and particularly the common
schol and the high school systems,
the subjects taught in the past and
.i . v. .
had come to the scholars as the on-
ward march of education had broad-
ened the scope of the school and
placed education in every part of the
land. The speaker stated that he had
been attracted not long: since by an

there were but 2,500 high schools
and 200,000 student's in the United
States and now there are 15,000 high j
schools and over 2,500,000 students
enrolled in the country. The greatest
growth of the public school system

been a steady one. In all the world (

compared some of the educational
tests of the past to show the super
iority of the modern day system, by
the comparison of a test made in the
Boston schools of 1S45 and which had
been tried in the last few years with
the result that the modern student
on tne same ciuestions was anie to in-!
crease the standard of answers from
15 to 17 per cent over those of the
students of the long ago. The differ
ence between the older systems of
oral spelling and that of the written
answers of today was also compared,
showing that the student of the past
merely selected the one word and gave
it without understanding of the mean
ing or purpose while in the modern
teaching methods that had increased
the reading capacity of the student,
there was a clear and definite under
standing of what the words represent
ed and the according enrichment of
the educational capacity of the stu
dent. The speaker in his remarks di
rect to the class pointed out that they
had reached one goal they had set in
the successful completion of their high
school work and urged that they set
again a higher goal to be attained
in their future life.

and for many years after her mar
riage to Mr. Reed the family resided
near Murray and later moved to Ne
braska City where they made their

BOOSTS BASEBALL TEAM
Editor, Plattsmouth Journal:
I believe that Plattsmouth is
wakening up and that there are better
times in store for the good old town
or I wouldn't take the trouble to
write this.
I am quite a baseball fan and have
been a follower of the local team for
a good many years and I deplore the
lack cf interest taken in the great
"American game" in this city. Year
after year the few boys that play ball
are left to struggle alone with no en
couragement from anybody and this,
despite the fact that a good fast base
ball team is the greatest medium of
advertising there is. Who ever heard
of Millard, or Syracuse until they
put a fast ball team on the field?
Why do Omaha merchants spend surna
of money every year backing good
fast baseball teams? Let's wake up
and hold a mass meeting. Get all
such organizations as the Ad Club
and others interested and let's whoop
it up and put Platts on the map with
one of tl)e begt teams in the COUntry.
We haye fcnough good material here
that with jllPt a little help could do
this very thing.
! Why should a small country town
j Syracuse come to our town and
take awav such ball players as Eddie
Gradoville and his brother "Bud?"
Why should we let Hans Neuman get
away? Why let Burkhart go to Table
Rock? We could also have Jardine
and others. What say, lets whoop it
. up for good old Plattsmouth and take
home the 1926 championship from
Council Bluffs this fall.
