Modern Woodmen of America.
This is one of the most rapidly grow

good reason to be, because it is one of
the best. No young man, or any other
that is eligible for admission, should
hesitate a moment about joining a so
ciety that possesses so many excellent
features. Not only do we refer to its
fraternal feature, but its social fea
tures are just what everyone needs as
down the rugged road of Time one
passes. The rapid growth of the order
In Cass county is sufficient to convince
anyone of its excellency. Messrs. E. E.
Kester and Sam Woodley, two most
worthy members of the Woodmen, are
in the city in the interest of the order,
and either would be glad to give any
one who thinks of joining a fraternal
organization, any information regard
ing the order they may desire.

advised me if I had any business to

LOOKING BACKWARD
TWENTY-THREE YEARS
A FAMOUS CASE OF MALPRACTICE
! Doctor" William V. Hizes the Defend
ant, Joseph N. Thompson the Plaintiff,
and the Late George W. Adams, Form
erly Mayor of Weeping Water, Higgs'
Bondsman, the Victim.
From the Plattsmouth Herald of date of May
Some of the testimony of "Doctor"
Higgs, as taken down by Judge
Travis, who was one of Thompson's at
torneys, is as follows:
"In 1882 Dr. William W. Higgs was
practicing medicine in Weeping Wa
ter. Some time during that year Jos
eph N. Thompson, an employe of the
stone quarry, was struck in the eye by
a small piece of stone. Thompson
went to the above named doctor for
treatment. The doctor bade the pa
tient accompany him to a drug store,
where he mixed blue vitriol with some
other medicine and put it !nto Thomp
son's eye to get the piece of stone out.
The medicine caused Mr. Thompson
to lose the use of his eye, and he
brought suit against Higgs for $200
damages, retaining H. D. Travis as his
attorney. Higgs obtained a change of
venue to Louisville before Esquire
Cleghorn and a jury. Higgs retained
Gibson and Mickle. and in the mean
time B. S. Ramsey had been secured
to help Mr. Travis.
"When Dr.niggs had been put upon
the stand and the defendant's attor
ney had examined him, Judge Ramsey
cross-examined him. The following is
a part as taken at the time by II. D.
Travis, who found It among his old
papers the other day:

"After Ramsey had concluded his
examination of the doctor the case was
given to the jury, and the jury disa
greed. "The case was again tried at Louis
ville before Esquire Cleghorn, and A.
N. Sullivan had been retained as the
defendant's attorney. The second
trial resulted in the plaintiff being
awarded a verdict for 200.
"The defendant appealed the case,
but failed to have his appeal bond tiled
within ten days. 1 1 was mailed on the
tenth day at Weeping Water, but for
sune reason 1 1 it trains were late and
the bond failed to reach its destina
tion until the eleventh day after judg
ment was rendered. The lond was
tiled and approved by Cleghorn, both
as to form and suilicieney, hut not as
to time. The defendant tiled a trans
cript of the judgement in district court
with a view to perfecting an appeal.
"The plaintiff tiled a motion to dis
miss the action in district court for
the reason that the bond had not been
filed within the statutory time and the
appellate court thereby not ohtaiuing
jurisdiction. The motion to dismiss
the action was sustained by Judge
Pound.
Thompson's attorneys then com
menced a direct action upon the ap
peal bond for the amount of the ver
dict and costs. It was tried in dis
trict court and Thompson awarded a
verdict for the whole amount.
"The case was then taken to the su
paeme court by the defendant, where
the decision of the lower court was af
firmed at the January term, 1880.
"George W. Adams, now mayor of
Weeping Water, signed Higgs' appeal
bond and found that he had to pay the
amount awarded Thompson and the
costs, amounting to nearly $T00."
IN MEMORY OF LITTLE BESSIE CORY.
Died At her home in this city
October 6, 1905, little Bessie, youngest
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Cory,
aged 7 years, 2 months and 3 days.
A loved one has left this land.
And irone to Join her home in heaven ;
The fatal chord in twain is snapped.
And from our hearts 'tis riven.
She's gone like the weary bird.
At eve to its sheltered nest ;
She's left her home below.
For a better place of rest.
We no more can welcome her back.
For (.lie's gone to her final rest ;
She revels in realms of bliss.
Asleep on Jesus' breast. I
She has crossed the dark river of death.
But she crossed it not alone:
For Jesus was by her side.
Conducting her to her home.
Weep not for her. fond parents, dear.
You who loved her as no other;
Uemember you have others left.
Her sisters and her brothers.
liod has not left you comfortless.
He's opened Heaven's door;
Soon you may enter safely in.
And dwell forever more.
And then you'll see dear Bessie's face.
"Ana clasp her little hand:
And siiijj with her the soir-rs she loved.

Boys Who Leave Home.
Almost every boy comes to a time in
life when he feels that he must run
away from home. He tires of the re
straint, not being old enough or hav
ing sense sufficient to understand that
the restraint is for his good. lie
therefore grows glum and moody and
broods over his fancied wrongs and
finally decides to run away. For a
j boy with a fairly good home, and a
decent show in the world, surrounded
by ordinary comforts, we do not know
of anything which will so rapidly re
store him to his senses as a little ex
perience in running away, and our ad
vice has always been that when he
gets ready to run, the best thing the
parents can do is to let him. After
he has had some experience with the
chill which the world throws into a
fellow when he first meets it, and has
bumped up against the ever present
truth that no one cares a cent whether
he is cold, hungry or forlorn, he begins
to tumble to the fact that home is a
pretty good sort of a place, and it is
not long before he comes sneaking
back, tired of using as diet "the husks
which the swine did eat," and mighty
anxious for a chance at the veal cut
lets, which adorn the table of his
father's house.
