says:
'The i;nriint"n appears to have
adopted a new policy in dealing with
damage cases - tliat of settling with
the parties, thus evading ion;.', expen
sive and uncertain litigation.
"Tliree cases have leen settled this
term thus tar and we are informed
that one or two mere are under con
sideration, one of these being the
Webb I'lattsmouth bridge case.
"We learn that General Stone, one
of the lawyers in behalf of the Mur
lington road, is responsible very largely
for this new and sensible policy of
conciliation.
"Although no action was brought
for the recent death in the Pacific
Junction yards of Switchman James
W. Kirkcndall. the matter comes be
fore the court, in the appointing of
Mrs. K'irkendali as administratrix of
her husband's ( state.
'The P.urlinu'ton pays her ., in
consideration that she relinquish all
claims agaii-st the company.
'Mrs. (.'. (.'. lloskins. of l'acitic Junc

company for l."i,M, damages for the

"This was settled by the company
paying her l.so. Hoskins was a
much older man than Kirkendall and
was employed at the round house at
the time of the accident.
"The company contends that it or
rather its employes were not responsi
ble for the death of Hoskins. The
latter was an old employe and the
company preferred to be generous in
the matter."

Will Cultivate Catalpa Trees.
The Durlington owns a large tract
of land on the other side of the river,
and it has been for years thought that
great things would be done for the
J unction on this account. i'at from
what the Henwood Opinion says our
little neighbor over the way will have
cause for "more fond anticipations''
going up in wind." The Opinion
says:
"It is reported that the Chicago.
Turlington .V (juir.cy Railway com
pany will next spring plant upon land
owned by it on the Missouri bottom
near Pacific Junction. 2J" acres of ca
talpa trees, with a view cf using the
timber for railroad ties in the course
of time. The trees will be set seven
feet apart making a total of 200,000
trees upon " acres. The Santa Fe
Kailroad company has followed this
plan in Kansas most successfully for a
number of years past, the wooi of the
catalpa being admirably adapted for
railroad ties."
Fell Down Cellar.
Allan Walker met with an accident
last Monday morning that will pre
vent him dispensing pearl buttons for
two or three weeks. He was bringing
an arm load of wood out of the cellar
and fell backwards clown the steps,
striking on his side neck and head,
making some very bad bruises. His
side was injured a number of months
ago in falling off a train, and it so hap
pens that he has not recovered from
the effects of it yet, and the fall on
Monday caught him in the same place.
Mr. Walker always has accident poli
cies in force for just such occasions,
but while they soothe, are not pain
killers. It is hoped he will not be con
fined to the house very long. Weep

HIRAM D. HATHAWAY DEAD
A Pioneer Newspaper Man of Platts
mouth and Prominent Citizen.
DONE MUCH GOOD WORK FOR THE TOWN
Was Among Prime Movers in Locating
the Burlington Headquarters in
Plattsmouth.
A telegram was received in Lincoln
Wednesday evening from Penver an
nounced the death of Hiram I . Hath
away, one of the pioneer newspaper
men of the slate. For twenty-two
years lie was with the late ( '. II. (Jere
in the management of the State Jour
nal, ceasing connection with it in ls'..".
The telegram did not convey any in
formation as to the cause of his death.
The body will he brought lo Lincoln
for burial. The funeral will beheld
Friday afternoon.
Mr. Hathaway was 70 years of age.
Horn in Trumbull county, Ohio, he
spent his boyhood on the farm. He
came to Council Illutl's. then know n as
Kanesville, in 102, and began work
on the old Frontier Ouardian as an
apprentice boy. Then lie went to Cal
ifornia and for a few years worked at
various things. In 1S.7S he returned
to Nebraska and located at Wyoming,
then the promising town of Otoe
county. The following year he re
moved to Nebraska City, where he
worked on a newspaper called the
Spirit of the West. In lsno he became
foreman and later business manager
of the Nebraska City News, which is
still in existence. In 1 (;." he went to
I'lattsmouth and started the Herald,
which he published until when
lie acquired the interest of W. W.
Carder in the State Journal.
In April, lSu.",, Mr. Hathaway was
attracted to I'lattsmouth, then also
showing signs of intimate greatness.
He established the Herald newspaper
there and ran it for seven years with
success. In 172 he came to Lincoln
and purchased the interest of W. W.
Carder in the State Journal, becoming
partner of the late C. II. Cere. For
nearly twenty-two years Mr. Hath
away was connected with that institu
tion, most of the time as treasurer.
He served his connection with the
Journal company in January. 1m'.". but
in reality he had not been active in
its management for some time pre
vious. The health of his family caused
the Hathaways to move t. Denver
early in the nineties, and there he has
since made his home.
Mr. Hathaway was married to Miss
Anna Lauer in Nebraska City, August
1, lsno. Five children were born to
them, but two of whom are living,
Mrs. Anna Muir, wife of II. I. Muir,
residing at l'ort Jarvis. N. V.. and
Ralph, who is at home in Denver.
During his life in I'lattsmouth and
Lincoln Mr. Hathaway was very active
in politics and in public affairs. He
served as a member of the lower house
from Cass county in ls7 at the first
session, and represented the same
county in the senate in 1S;'. and 1S70,
during three sessions.
While a resident of this city Mr.
Hathaway was an active member of
the committee which induced the
Burlington to locate its headquarters
and shops in this town, which sought
to rival Omaha, which had recently
acquired the Union Pacific head
quarters. The remains were taken to Lincoln
where interment was made today.
Rule Amended.
State Superintendent McBrien has
announced an ammendment to the
rule relative to examinations for
county certificates. Grades on cer
tificates issued as far back as July 1,
1903, will be accepted as well as those
on certificates issued after July 1,
1!0j, as was previously announced.
Applicants must pass, however, in
the five essential branches, namely:
Beading, History, Crammer, Geog
raphy and Arithmetic. Other grades
shown on the certificates will be val
idated by the state superintendent
and made state grades.
The provision continues in force
and effect until the regular examina
tions in August, 1900.
A Fearful Fate.
It is a fearful fate to have to endure
the terrible torture of Tiles. "I can
truthfully say," writes Harry Colson,
of Masonville, la., "that for Blind,
Bleeding, Itching and Protruding
Piles, Bucklen's Arnica Salve, is the
best cure made." Also best . for cuts,
burns and injuries. 25c at F. G.

ANOTHER VERY
BAD ACCIDENT
A Switch Engine Collides With a Team
Crossing the Track.
"DAN" RICE BADLY HURT
Results in the Death of the Two Horses
and Wagon Almost Demolished.
"Dan"' Ilice lives on Wintersteen
hill, by occupation is a teamster. In
going to and from his home he has to
cross several tracks. Sat unlay morn
ing as he was coming down town, he
happened to be crossing the same
track on which 'Link" Hull'er was go
ing to the round house with his en
gine. J list as I an drove his team upon
the track the team was struck, knock
ing both horses into the stream below
and considerably demolishing the front
end of the wagon.
One of the horses was badly cut up
and the injuries were of that extent
that it was thought best t: kill him,
and Frank Busche shot him. I'pon
examination it was found that the
other had sustained a broken leg and
several other injuries and Busche shot
this one also.
As to the extent of Mr. 1 1 ice's injur
ies we have not learned. At first it
was thought that he had not sustained
any serious injuries, but it was re
ported a lew hours later that he had
suffered internally. While it is a very
unfortunate occurrence for Bice, yet
it is very fortunate that he also was
not thrown to the stream below. He
was saved from doing so by the vehicle
striking a telegraph pole.
We don't know who is to blame for
the accident, but it has the appear
ance of carelessness on the part of
both Bice and the engineer.
Clyde Perkins' Time Expires.
Clyde Perkins, the young man that
was sentenced to the state peniten
tiary for one year, for stealing honey,
a shot gun and other articles from the
home of B. A. Young, south of town,
has been released, having served the
full twelve months time, and returned
to Plattsmouth Saturday.
Perkins lost out on his good time
allowance and was compelled to serve
the full vear or a little more.
A Little Boy's Composition.
The following was handed to our
reporter lasc evening by a little boy of
this city with the request to publish
same:
"There is a lot of block heads, bald
heads and so 4th., right here in this
old town. Pa lie's got one. It's bald.
Ma she's long-headed and pa he's bull
headed and I'm red-headed. The
smart end of a boy is his head except
w hen he gets spanked, but the smart
end of a bee is not there. Oh no. Pa
says if a fellow has a head he can get
ahead in the world, but 1 don't want
a head like he trets w hen he L'oes out
with the boys."
