into his buggy and hit out for hisj
home south of town in a sorry taking
condition from the day's celebration.
A serious charge of assaulting un
officer flouM have been brought against
the younger Iwother but as he plead
guilty to his first charge the later com
plaint was not entered against him.
The other two fellows not being
able to fork up the stipulated amount
which totaled at about $14 each,
were committed to the cooler where
they will lay out the fine.
The three men Oscar and George
Maithews fifii Arthur Jacobi had
had been drinking during the after
i . . . ii i i j:..
noon a nil several wmco u".-j uu im
putes w to which wad the best man.
To the casual observer of the fight it
looked aa though the two Maunews
boys wore the sole aggrcssois, but if
investigated it would be found that the
old man was about as much to blame
aa the two younger fellows.
.Ineobi has triven a Kood deal of
trouble to the police when intoxi
cuted and only last Saturday he was
ordered out of the city by the chief
for using profane language and creat
ine a disturbance. After the men had
accumulated quite a jag, the three
of them met in a drink emporium on
Fifth and Main streets and there the
trouble broke foith. Jacobi went out
of the back door of the building and
after filling his pockets with brick
bats proceeded to the front door of
the building and dared the brothers
out. Their friends prevented them
from starting anything at that tunc
and the old man wandered across
the street.
Later in the afternoon the two
brothers went out to the horse sheds
in back of the saloon to get their
team and they again started to banter
with the man who was then across
the street. Finally the two crossed the
street and before Jacobi could get
his brickbats into action, he was
dropped by h blow in the jaw. They
then unmercifully pommelled him
while he was down and the scene was
fast assuming the appcarancde of a
cannibal feast when officer Ilainey
who is on the force in Trout's place
arrived to quell the disturbance,
Taking one of them by the arm, he
was attacked by the other brother and
the three went to the gi ound in a heap
Ben was more than a match for the
fighters and after two or three rounds
in which the substitutes coat was
ripped about a yard down the back,
with the aid of a few citizens the pug
ilists were headed in the direction
of the jail.
When tho party nearcd the corner
by the bastile, another tussle ensued
but the men were forced to the jail
door. Here one of them laid down
on the walk like a stubborn mule and
it was some time before they were
safely landed behind the bars. Shortly
after the big key was turned, the wt men
delegation, the wife and relatives
of one of the brothers arrived and ex
ceeding great whs the weeping and
wailing and gnashing of teeth when
they were refused admittance to the
cells.
The countenances ofthe disturbers
were pretty badly bent, George Mat
thews condition being the worst.
He was taken to a physician where
it was found his right arm had been
broken a little above the wrist. On
account of his battered condition
he was taken before Judge Archer as
soon as he was repaired and patched
up. Iu the court he plead not guilty
to being drunk and fighting and his
cash bond placed at $20.00 which be
ing unable to give, he was taken back
to the dungeon to await his trial this
morning. It took considerable per
suasion on tho part of his relatives
to get him to acknowledge his guilt
and it was nearly noon when he hunted
up the judge and entered his plea.
Mysterious Mixture Mekes D;r,
Woundsd to Death, Dold.
Curnri, the vegetable poison with
which the Indians of the upper
Amazon tip their hunting arrows,
remains a mystery in its composi
tion after a hundred years of inves
tigation bv scientists. The Indians
will sell it for its weight in silver,
but will not reveal tho plants from
which it is derived. Not long ago a
professor in a German university
was sent to the Amazon wilderness
for the express purpose of discover
ing the secret, for curari, or urari,
as it is otherwise called, is now
thought to be of great value in
medicine. The professor lived two
years in Indian villages, and, while
. , t 1 1
he wa3 permitted to witness me
boiling of the "witches broth.
which lasted several days, he couia
not tell what plants went into the
brew. Returning from his baffled
quest down the Amazon with a
quantity of the poison, tho profess
or was met by another traveler,
.Dewey Austin Cobb, who had got
possession of a native blowgun
The latter tells in the National
Geographic Magazine how he put
some of the professor's curari on
Borne of Ins blowgun arrows, which
arc like toothpicks feathered witl
cotton, and tried it on a buck deer
in the forest.
"After a deliberate nim our hunt
cr fired," says Mr. Cobb, "if 1 may
use such a word for the little pull,
scarcely heard by us and entirely
inaudible above the rustling corn
leaves at the distance of the deer
The animal gave a slight start as it
felt the prick of the arrow on its
Hank and turned partly around,
sniffing tho air for a scent and look
ing about as if searching for the in
sect that had bitten or stung it
Detecting nothing, it 6tood still and
unalarmed. At the end of a minute
or a minute and a half at most its
head dropped a little, as if it was
sleepy.
"Wo all approached its side, and
tho hunter laid a hand on its shoul
dcr. It looked up at him, but show
ed no resentment or fear. Even its
breathing seemed easy and natural,
which surprised me, as I had heard
that death resulted from paralysis
of the lungs when caused by urari.
At the end of ten minutes, though
it opened its eyes when touched, its
breath became shorter and slower.
Eighteen, minutes after it was
struck by the arrow it was dead."

Can't It be Stopped.
Is there no way to stop the mer
chants of this city and others, from fol
lowing the pernicious practice of
throwing waste paper upon the streets
It is a practice that bring the city
into 'disrepute and should be dealt
with by the authorities most severely.
There must be a city ordinance deal
ing with the subject and if there
it ought to be enforced. It woul
seem that city pride would influence
those who are guilty and cause them
to observe some decency in the matter
Instead of having the city spoken of
by outsiders as "Dirty i'lattsmoulh
whv not have the name chanced to
The City Beautiful." It can bf
done if our people will show that they
have some pride in the town and will
work together to keep the streets
clean. The question now is, "Have
they the proper spirit" and will they
do anything besides talk and
"oh, yes, it ought to be done."
Keep the Kidneys Well

How to Save It.
Manv Plattsmouth people take
their lives in their hands by neglect
ing the kidneys when they know theses
i . t i ii
organs need help, sick Kiuneys are
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 a Kidney Pills. Hei e is a Platts
mouth citizen's recommendation.
J. L. McPinney, Lincoln Ave.,
Plattsmouth, Neb., says: "Doan s
Kidney pills, procured fiom Genng
and Co a drug store, have becti used
in my family and have brought prompt
relief from kidney disoiders after
other remedies had failed. In 1906
I publicly recommended Doan's Kid
ncy Pills for the benefit of other kid
ney Biiffcrecrs and at this time I have
no icason whatever to withdraw one
word from that statement."

The Basking Shark.
The ferocity of sharks is not
necessarily in proportion to their
size. For example, there is the
great basking shark, so called be
cause of its habit of lying motion
less at the surface of tho water. It
often attains a length of nearly
forty feet, but its teeth are small
comparatively, and it probably nev
er attacks man, depending upon
small fishes and Crustacea for its
diet. Another name for this species
is "sailfish," because of its great
back fin, which shows out of the
water like a sail when it is basking.
Although sluggish ordinarily and
easily harpooned, it exhibits great
activity and enormous strength
when struck, diving immediately to
tho bottom and requiring a great
length of rope to bold it. These
basking sharks are caught for their
livers off the coast of Iceland, and
the oil obtained is used to adulter
ate cod liver oil.
