men have the most brilliant pros
pects they ever had.
After being on the farm a few years
Mr. Creamer suffered from an attack
of appendicitis and, being unable to
properly care for the place, he dis
posed of it and later went into the
employ of a large department store
in San Jose.
Shortly before the Creamers left
the fruit farm, the hip; earth quake
of April 1 (J0G took place and the
shock was very violent in the Creamer
vicinity. The movement of the earth
was much more noticable around San
Jose than it was in Sun Francisco,
but the terrible fire did not result
from the trembler, only a block of the
business district being burned in San
Jose. His place was not very badly
damaged besides the chimneys being
shaken off and his large water tank
being drained of its contents, but one
of the neighboring houses was moved
nine feet from its foundation and
collapsed like an egg shell.
The depressing times that followed
the awful holocaust ho descibed as
being terrible. Everybody wanted to
leave the country and those that re
mained were nearly afraid to sleep at
night.
After working the last year or so
as private detective to watch the shop
lifters in the San Jose store, Mr.
Creamer decided to come back here
and take up his farm for the suminei
near Uock Cieek. They started on
their journey last Tuesday and i. was
an adventurous trip from Start to
finish. Coming on the California
Limited they were delayed at a half
a dozen places along the line by
floods and wrecks.
At Salt Lake, the great Lucin cut
off, had been badly damaged by a big
storm and high water about three
weeks ago, and their train was the first
to cross it since it had been repaired
It was rather a hair raising experience
to be on the train as it crawled over the
long trestle and the temporary timbers
groaned and creaked under the strain
of the sixteen coaches. The high water
had risen nearly to the windows of
a caboose that was standing on the
cut-off and the salt marks on the side
of the car were still visible. Thousands
of cattle were drowned on the shores of
the lake and the piles of dead animals
made an awful sight for the travelers.
In Battle Mount, Montana and in the
western part of the state they were
again delayed by wrecks and wash
outs and was a tired party of travelers
that arrived at their destination on
No. C this morning.
CHARLES GRIMES REPORTER.
Tonight Mr. Charles Grimes places
the cover over Ids typewriter, throws
his trusty faber into the waste basket
says thank you for his last check for
services well done and surrenders his
position as reporter on the Evening
Journal. Tomorrow morning he takes
the train for Waco, Tcxaa, where he
will settle, in all probability, but as to
what he will do he is as yet undecided
Mr. Grimes has spent the major
portion of his life in and around the
city of Plattsinoulh nnd has a speaking
acquaintance with more people re
siding in the county than most any
other man. He has been connected
with the Journal as reporter for a year
and a half and his wide acquaintance
with the people and his knowledge of
conditions has eminently fitted him
to fill the position he now resigns.
He is in our estimation one of the best
news gatherers we have ever known
and his easy and attractive style of
putting his stuff together has com
manded our hearty admiration. Mr.
Grimes will be missed in newspaper
and other circles in this old town and
he takes with him the good wishes of
all. Personally he is a good follow,
genial and a ready mixci, qualifica
tions rare, but absolutely necessary
to the successful newspaper man.
The Daily News wishes him luck and
a safe journey.

PITTSBURG GRAND JURY HANDS
DOWN ANOTHER BATCH CF
INDICTMENTS.
BIG GRAFTERS NOT NAMED YET
Dr. E. R. Walters, a Leading Member
of Mayor Magee's Cabinet, Among
the Last Ones to be AccusedIs
Prominent Socially.
Pittsburg. Pa., Apr. 1. The grand
Jury which has been Investigating the
councllmanlc graft cases sent broad
side into the ranks of this system by
banding down 16 more Indictments
against councllmen who are alleged to
have sold their honor and votes for
money. Five of these indicted are
members of the present city council.
The sensation of this lot of indict
ments, however, was the Introduction
of the name of Dr. E. R. Walters, now
head of the department of health and
charities and leading man In the cabi
net of Mayor Magee. The grand Jury,
In indicting Walters, insists it has
proof that while he was president of
the Pittsburg council he solicited and
accepted a bribe of $1,000 for his vote
In council. This Is by far the largest
price yet alleged to have been paid to
any councilman. The bribery Is al
leged to have occurred In 1908.
The grand jisry hands down a list of
prices received by the different coun
cllmen Indicted. The list of indict
ments and the sums alleged to have
taken are as follows:
Dr. K. R. Walters, $1,000; T. O.
Atkinson, $500; E. J. Edwards, $500;
P. J. Kearns, $500; P. A. Manlon, $500;
John McCartney, $250; William Mc
Kelvey, $300; Samuel Porter, $350;
Charles C. Schad. $250; J. F. Semrael
rock, $250; C. D. Tilbury, $200; W. H.
Weber, $250; John J. Hughes. $250;
Isaac Llbson, $250, and 9. C. Lennox,
$500.
Dr. Walters Is prominent socially
and he fairly roared when told of the
Indictment.
"I am honest and Innocent and 111
make them prove that I am not," said
he. "No, I won't resign; I'll fight them
to the end."
Ex-Councllman Charles Stewart has
confessed that hjt gave the money to
the councllmen named In the In die V
ments.
The frrsnd Jury made apparent head
way In Its probe. Sixteen members of
the office force of the Farmers' Deposit
National bank appeared before the
Jury under the escort of detectives, a
Janitor being left in charge of the
bank.
It la again promised that the names
of the "big fish" In the graft probe will
be made public Roon.
Councilman Klein Is behind the bars
at Riverside penitentiary. After re

the effect that he was about to ba

Keep the Kidneys Well
Health Is Worth Saving and Some
Plattsmonth People Know
How to Save It.
Many Plattsmouth people take
their lives in their hands by neglect
ing the kidneys when they know theses
organs need help. Sick kidneys arc
responsible for a vasrt amount of
suffering and ill health, but there is no
need to suffer nor to remain in danger
when all diseases and aches and pains
due to weeak kidnys can be quickly
and permanently cured by the use of
Doan's Kidney Pil's. Heie is a Platts
mouth citizen's recommendation.
J. L. McPinney, Lincoln Ave.,
Plattsmouth, Neb., says: "Doan's
Kidney pills, procured fioin Gcring
and Co'8 drug store, have been used
in my family and have brought prompt
relief from kidney disoidcrs- after
other remedies had failed. In 190fi
I publicly recommended Doan's Kid
ney Pills for the benefit of other kid
ney suffcreers and at this time I have
no leason whatever to withdraw one
word from that statement."
