Trouble Feared Along the Platte Hirer
When the Ice Begins to Break.
Railroad men have begun to worry
about the ice in the Platte river and
the probability of floods along tnat
stream. It was said tat a few more
days like yesterday would start t he tee
in the Platte river, and wito imp
streams running full of melted snnw
and the river rather high to begin with
serious trouble w ill follow. It was said
that the situation is being closely
watched and that ice will be broken
near the bridges to let the stream
through with the first appearance of
trouble. The Lincoln Journal says:
'It is pointed out that the Union Pa
cific, with its Central City-Stromsburg
line, reaching from Central City to
Valley, will be able to avoid much of
the Platte river bottom, where irreat
trouble has followed floods and ice
breaking in the past. One of the worst
places along the Union Pacific is near
Columbus, where tbe Loup river emp
ties into the Platte river. Ice break
ing there usually cans s much trouble
and ice picks cause the water to over
flow the bottoms. The company has
spent a mint of money there to protect
its grades and tracks, but high water
usually caus'.s trouble. At Fremont,
east and west of the city, trouble has
been experienced in the past. These
places can be avoided by using the new
line recently completed, but not yet
opened to regular traffic.
"The Burlington sometimes lias

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great may years doctors pro
nounced it a local disease and prescrib
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and thesefore requires consti
tutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure manufactured by E. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu
tional cure on the market. It is taken
internernally in poses from 10 drops to
teaspoonful. It acts directly on the

I have been subject to attacks of kid
ney and bladder trouble. Twenty
years ago I had. an attack of measles
which settled in the bladder. This
brought on retention of the kidney
secretions and for a long period I was
obliged to use a catheter. After I
had discarded the use of this, reten
tion at times existed and by spells 1
had sharp pains shooting from each
grain to the bladder. In due course
of time my back commenced to trouble
me. One day four years ago while
leaving for work, a sharp twingcaught
me in the loins and threw me to the
ground. If a knife had been plunged
into me the pain could not have been
more intense. I laid helples? for
sometime and when I did get back, it
was by taking hold of someting for a
support and almost crawling. For a
month later I was not able to do a
stroke of work and I continued to
have more or less trouble from pain
in my back. It was dittiult for me to
even rise from a chair. I tried no
end of remedies and was treated by
physicians but received no permanent
benefit. Finally I learned ot Doan's
Kidney Pills and they were recom
mended to me so strongly, I was in
duced to go to Gering & Co.'s drug
store and get a box. They did won
ders for me. I have had but one at
tack of severe baekache since which
was some years after taking the
remedy. The attack I mention quickly
disappeared. Doan's Kidney Pills
banished all pain, relieved the bladder
difficulty and improved my condition
every way."

Who Is Dan Donahue?
The Nebraska City News says that
Dan Donahue cf Weeping Water
drifted into the city, and after load
ing up at the saloons was gathered in
by the police. He claims to have had
$30 when he started tc load up, and
after being confined in jail found a
tenner in his inside pocket and paid
his fine and departed. Now Dan, if
you are from Weeping Water, you
should register correctlv, but if you
are a resident of Plattsmouth, it is
very wrong to libel our reputable and
morally good city. It is hardly likely
that Dan is from Plattsmouth though,
for the saloons there don't allow a dry
man and $30 to get as far away as Ne
