THE APPENDICITIS PATIENTS Through press dispatches from St. Joe, Mo., we are informed that a for mer riattsmouth boy, Chas. Rhode, and wife, had a thrilling escape from an early morning Dre In that place Monday. Mr. Rhode, who is a News Press linotype operator, learned his trade on the Herald, which was pub lished In this city about sixteen years ago. He is well know in the print shops of this stato, and has many friends In this city, besides the mother and three brothers, Gotthcrd.fi us and Adolph. who regret to learn of his misfortune From the News-Press of St. Jce the following account of the accident that happened to Mrs. Rhode is obtained: "Mr. and Mrs. Charles Rhode wore the only persons In the building, so far as Is known. They had a suite of four mores, with their bedroom separ ated from the elevator shaft only by a thin lath and plaster partition. When they were aroused by the tire, the winulng staircase adjacent to the ele vator shaft was ablaze, and they took to the Dre escape, available from an other room, clad only In their night clothes. The adjustable ladder at the bottom of the fire escape was blocked by telephone and electric light wires, and spectators called to Mrs. Rhode to Jump from the top of an outside show case, about twelve feet In height. In alighting, Mrs. Rhode's weight was thrown on her left ankle, and It was crushed. The Injured woman was re- Eight Cases of This Peculiar Affliction Developed In Last Few Weeks. .

Seven of these have been taken to hospitals In Omaha,.to undergo operations while the eighth Is In such a critical con ditlon that removal to a hospital was not advisable. From the following reports of patients It will readily bo observed that those who have been operated up on are doing nicely. Among those to be placed In hospitals In Omaha In the past few days arc Miss Vesta Eaton, daughter of Mrs. J. W. Gamble; Miss Lulu, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Leek and Fred Weldman.

Dean Cummins who underwent two operations about ten days ago In the St. Joseph hospital In Omaha Is con valescing as rapidly as circumstances will permit. A little girl adopted by Mrs. Mary Kaufman, residing, near Cedar Creek, was taken to the St. Joseph hospital In Omaha a few days ago for treat ment for appendicitis. The affliction with which Miss Leek was taken 111 yesterday was diagnosed as appendicitis, and the patient, ac companied by her mother and Dr. E, D. Cummins, went to Omaha today, whore sho will be operated upon at the St. Joseph hospital Fred Weldman went to Lincoln this afternoon to undergo an operation for appendicitis In the St. Elizabeth's hospital.

Miss Eaton was taken sick Saturday and was taken yesterday by her mother and Dr. T. P. Livingston, to the Clarkson hospital In Omaha where an operation was performed yesterday afternoon. It will be several days be fore the patient recovers from the effects of the anaesthetic administered.

ET'S GET UP AND GET AHEAD OF THEM Judicious Advertising is What Brings Trade and Builds Up Towns and Cities. Every citizen of Plattsmouth, and those who reside In the Immediate vicinity, should bo Interested In her greater growth and prosperity. The past year has been one of prosperity and it should be the effort of all to keep on Improving. More substantial Improvements In the way of beautiful new homes have been made In the past season than for several years pre vious. riaiiHiuouiii nas as progres sive a set of business men as exists anywhere, but they need punching up oiue In a while to make some of them believe they are. Plattsmout It should have a big holiday trade, ami the only way to prevent the trade going to Omaha that Justly belongs to this city, Is to let the people know you have the goods they want, and are willing to give bargains. A greater business for our larger merchants means better business ;or all and a better city in every way. They are the town builders. This is an age of advertising and the people are learn ing to read the ads of the merchants before buying, and If they read that Plattsmouth merchants are olTerlng bargains they will come here to buy, but If nut they seem bound to go where they are offering inducements for them to come. The following on the work of build ing up a town Is taken from the Leon (Iowa) Journal, and Is so good and so trite upon the subject that we take the liberty of reproducing it: "The work of building up a town Isn't so far different from that of advancing the concerns cf an Individual. The only difference Is that It is easy to In terest most persons in their Immedi ate concerns while men often overlook the fact that their material welfare Is Inseparable from the general well being of a town. The man who has a dollar invested in a given town and who earns his livelihood In It Is vi tally ccncerncd in the moral and ma terial well being of that town and he Is neglecting his own concerns when he lets an opportunity pass to do all within his power and resources to ad vance the common good. The man who makes two spears of grass to grow where but one formerly found sustenance has been much praised. The man who provides employment for two where but one formealy found employment lacks much of being an enemy of his kind also. Trade with the man who advertises. It Is he who shows appreciation of your trade by letting you know what he has for sale. It Is he who shows faith In his mer chandise by not being afraid to pub licly talk about It. It is he who is likely to make you the lowest prices, for does he not openly proclaim them to the world? He Is the one whose store is best managed; whose clerks arc the most agreeable to buy from; w hose goods are up-to-date, for, you know, he must support his advertising by proper store methods. He is al ways en enterprising, public spirited citizen and for that reason, too, he deserves support." Invests in Fine Blood. Geo. II lid, one of our prominent far mers from west of Plattsmouth, was In Omaha yesterday and took advan tage of the opportunity to Invest In a tine thoroughbred male shorthorn. The new animal weighs about 1,000 pounds and Is but 17 months old and possesses the finest blood strains known to this popular breed. Roosevelt Favors Institutes. President Roosevelt favors farmers' institutes, and In his message to con gress says of these meetings: "Great progress has already been made among farmers by the creation of farmers' Institutes, of diary associations, of Lreeders' associations, horticultural associations and the like." When the president of the 1'nlted States rec ognizes these Institutes to the extent of speaking of them In his annual mes sage, no farmer can afford to remain away from meetings that are calcula ted to do him a wonderful amount of good.

BADLY MANGLED BY MACHINE Joe Lloyd, While Moving Threshing Outfit Gets Clothes Caught. WHEN HE INCREASED THE SPEED Is Pulled Into Machinery and Sustains Se verely Lacerated Limb, Which Re quires 25 Stitches to Close, About half past ten o'clock this morning, while moving a threshing outfit from homo to tho farm of J. M. Hanna, where a quantity of clover was to be hulled today, Joe Lloyd was the unfortunate victim of an accident that came near costing him one of bis limbs. When a short distance from his home In the south part of town, Mr.1 Lloyd stepped u p along the side or the moving engine In order to Increase the speed. While doing this, his pant's leg caught In the machinery, winding up rapidly, and pulling the left limb Into the wheels which In a very short time severely lacerated his left limb from the knee to the ankle. Only prompt action prevented a much more serious Injury and prob ably the fracture of the limb. The In jured man was conveyed home and & physician hastily summoned to close tho terrible gashes. To replace the llesh required twenty-five stitchcs,and although of a very painful nature, the wounded limb was soon dressed, and as we go to press the patient Is resting fairly well. Lad Pushed Under Horses Hoofs. Last evening about six o'clock lower Main street was the scene of consed crablc excitement, when Hoy Stadler was pushed under the hoofs of a team driven by Geo. Stander. The boy, to gether with a companion, was playing on the walk In front of II. M. Socn nlchsen'sstore, and as the team drove up to the curbing the Stadler boy was pushed off of the walk under tho horses. The tram was stopped, and the screaming and sobbing lad taken to the office of Dr. T. P. Livingston, where a slight gash about the right eye and a leg were dressed, after which the boy was taken home. It was at first feared that he had received In ternal Injuries, but he was more frightened than Injured, and Is now getting along all right.
