2 Plattsmouth,

Get Together Now.
An old resident remarked In our
hearing yesterday afternoon "that
there were too many factions in Platts
mouth for the good of the clty-too
many people who insist upon every
thing going their way or not going at
all. What we need is more hard licks
for Plattsmouth and less thought of
self and of personal victories."
Every man who has a family here or
who has his capital tied up In Indus
tries in the town Is Interested in her
advancement, every man who has a
home in Plattsmouth Is interested in
her welfare. There Is only one way to
accomplish anything In the manner of
securing utilities for the city and that
Is by concerted action. A tug of war
Is spectacular, but Is not productive of
necessity a losing side. We don't want
a tug of war; we want unison and har
mony. If you are so constituted as to be un
able to abide by the will of the major
ity you should get out of the way of
the procession, for It is dangerous to
be lo the way when everybody is mov
ing in the opposite direction. Some
bright day the people of riattsmouth
are going to get together on several
burning questions, and the roseate
hues of that day's dawn are now
streaking the city's sky. If you want
to walk with the winners forget self
and work for Tlattsraouth.

A reliable medicine and one that

Remedy. It will prevent the attack

Wreck Near Union.
Owing to the wrecking of part of a
freight train, near Union, last night,
the branch between this city and
Union has been blocked since shortly
after midnight. The passeneer train
going north this morning bad to go
over the Dunbar branch and into
Omaha that way. The passenger
train from the north, which was due
here at 10:44 this morning did not
arrive here until afternoon. The
track was cleared this afternoon and
trains are running about on time.
The train from the south yesterday
afternoon was delayed over an hour by
an accident down the line. The com
pany seems to be having all kinds of
trouble of late and their trains experi
ence a great deal of trouble in being
on time. Nebraska City News (Tuesday.)
Wearing Away.
The archbishop of Mayence used to
say that the human body is like a mill
stone; if you put wheat under It, it
grinds it into flour; If you put no
wheat, It grinds on, but then 'tis itself
It wears away. The human body,
while it receives the usual amount of
food, assimilates and distributes It to
every organ; If it Is unable to accept
nourishment it will wear itself away.
Every change in your appetite Is a
sign of some derangement of the di
gestive system and calls for Trlncr's
American Elixir of Bitter Wine. The
appetite will then speedily return and
all organs will perform their work.

TO REPUDIATE AN OLD RULE
The Incoming Legislature is Pledged to
Provide a New Law.
Among the measures which the re
cently elected legislature Is pledged to
make Into law is an act providing that
In case of an employe's being injured
through the negligence of a fellow
workman, be may recover damages
from his employer.
As the law is at present, a workman
can recover from an employer for In
Jury arising out of an accident only
when be can show that the employer
Is at fault.
A case that was decided about a
hundred years ago laid down the "rule
of common employment," otherwise
known as the" "fellow servant doc
trine. " This rule or doctrine in effect
stated that the workman, not his em
ployer, assumed the risk on account of
the neglect or misconduct of t fellow
servant. It presumes that when the
workman entered upon the work he
took Into consideration the risks and
among them, the danger of being In
jured through a fellow workman's
carelessness.
This may have been good reasoning
when all trades were carried on by a
small force of men. But the doctrine
cannot with Justice be applied when a
large number of men are working In a
highly specialized Industry, with ma
chines and complicated organization,
when an engineer may be kflled be
cause of the carelessness of a telegraph
operator a thousand miles away. The
fellow servant doctrine was made to
meet conditions which have long since
passed away.
All the civilized countries of the
world have repudiated the doctrine
and have gone much farther. Many
of the statcsin this country have done
away with It by statute or Judicial de
cision, and a majority of the states
have enacted that it shall not apply to
employes of mines and railroads.
It is quite probable that the law, if
any is passed, will repeal the doctrine
only In so far as railroad employes are
concerned, as railroading is the only

When Freighting Was Done With Teams
From Plattsmouth to Denver.
In a hardware store on tumor Main
street In Plattsmouth I saw the other
day a largo Iron kettle, sueh as farm
ers' wives areu.sliitf for making soap
aihl to heat water for hutelierlng hogs,
hanging on four forked stleks.
luis reminds mo of what I wit
nessed Iti the early days crossing the
plains, while freighting through the
Indian country. In the absence of
railroads, all freight to the Colorado
gold mines, six hundred miles from
the Missouri river, had to be trans
ported by team, cither oxen, mules or
horses. This required a great many
teams, and those able to buy such en
gaged In the freighting business. At
that time It was safe for small parties
to travel, as the I ndlans did not bother
us, and Instead of avoiding them we
made It a point to camo close to their
little villages. They would visit us,
especially at meal time, expectlnir. of
courso, to get something to cat. We
generally gave them something If we
nan any to spare.
At one time they brought an old
squaw with them, anrl I venture to
say she was over a hundred years old.
She looked to me as the Peruvian
mummy I saw at the atate university
museum, of course we prepared a
dish of bread, gravy ami some fried
bacon, llesldes we put some molasses
over all. No doubt she was hungry,
as she ate every bit or the food on the
plate. After dinner wo took a stroll
to their camp nearby, and met a sight
worth seeing. They wero preparing a
big dog feast, A larire Iron kettle,
such as 1 saw hero In a store, was
hanging on some forked sticks over a
big IlulTalo chip lire: and In the kettle
was boiling a big black dog, with hair
and all no waste whatever. From
the heat of the lire the dog plunged
up and down In the kettle. Ilesldes
the dog there was about a peck of
shelled corn boiling with him.
The old chief treated us very nice
and Invited us to partake of dinner
with them. Hut we declined with
thanks, and told him we had eaten
our dinner before coming to them. At
this he pointed his linger at the boll
Ing dog, exclaiming, "Dog meat heap
good," and full of joy at the feast,
rubbed his stomach. We left him to
his pleasure and visited some of their
tepees, and to oursurprlse, found them
clean and comfortably filled with
Hullalo robes and blankets for sleep
ing purposes.
The good times with us lasted until
the war broke out between them and
our government. After that, they
disappeared in the bluffs on both sides
of the Platte river. They would watch
every move we made and signal each
other by throwing firebrands In the
air, signs which they understood.
Whatever caused the war with them
I do not know. No doubt the south
urged them on through agents sent to
them to stir up trouble between them
and us, thinking by doing so the gov
ernment would have to send a large
force ofsoldlcrs to the plains to pro
tect the mall, emigration and the
freighting to gold mines: and by doing
so keep the soldiers away from the
southern country. While trading we
naa a large rorce of teamsters for self
protection, and In case of need soldiers
would come to our assistance.
On one of our return trips from
Denver we found Fort Julesburu
burned to the ground. With It Cap
tain Foster's train loaded with goods.
All we could see was the Iron and
wagon tires of the train.

HORSE THIEF LANDS IN JAIL
Stranger Driving Fine Team Aroused Sus
picions of Ferryman O'Neill.
NOTIFIES LOCAL POLICE AUTHORITIES
Jailor Manspeaker Invites Thief to I Cell
in County Bastite. After StablingTeam
Prisoner Taken toBoone.la.
A stranger driving a fine looking
team was conveyed from the Iowa
shore to Cass county by Ferryman
O'Neill yesterday morning about lt
o'clock, and while crossing the river
the actions of the stranger aroused
the suspicions of the ferryman, who,
as soon as the rig was safely landed on
this side, no titled the authorities ot
this county of that fact. The officer
here had been notified by the sheriff of
IJoono county, la., to be on the look
out for such a team as the man was
driving, and when informed that a
suspicious looking stranger had crossed
the river, Jailor Manspeaker immedi
ately started out In bis buggy to meet
the fellow. At the lower end of Main
street he met the outfit and turnlnir
around he followed It up street until
opposite his (Manspcaker's) livery
stable. At this point he hailed the
fellow asking him to drive Into the
barn, where the team was stabled and
the thief Invited to occupy a cell tn
the county bastlle, pending the arrival
of Sheriff Foster from Boone, Iow,
this morning.
Early this morning Sheriffs Foster
of Uoone county, Brown of Guthrie
county, and Mr. Thrush, the owner of
the animals, arrived to identify the
outfit and escort the thief back to face
a charge of horse stealing. The sher
iff from Boone, la., departed this
morning on the return trip with his
prisoner, who gave the name of Yoa
kum when arrested. He has been
working around In this countr near
Oreenwood, being employed by Chas.
Schulke recently. It is believed by
the ofilcers that Yoakum U one of a
band of horse thieves, who have been
operating In this section of the coun
try for several months past, for it ha
known that the theft was committed
by two men, their tracks bclnir dis
cerned in the snow the mornlnir after
the robbery.
The owner, E. E. Thrush, who re
sides three miles from Iloonc. while
conducting a sale at his place recently,
was approached by this stranger, who
asked that this team be placed on the
list for sale, but this the owner re
fused to do, because he valued them
too highly. After recovering the ani
mals In this city a deal was made
whereby J. W. Sage became the owner
of the team for the sum of $.lo0. The
reward of toO offered for the recovery
ot the team was paid by Mr. Thrush,
to Mr. Manspeaker and Ferryman
O'Neill, who had been the means ot
capturmg the thief and the stolen
property.
