Jack McDaniels Meets With
Very Narrow Escape in
Crossing Platte River
On the Ice.
Jack McDanlel last Monday night
had an exciting experience with John
Chaso who was en route to his home
at Arlington, Neb. Mr. Chase en
gaged Jack to take him across the
Platte river on tho ice as he was
driving home in a sleigh. Mr. Mc
Danlel tried several places on the
river and broke through the ice a
number of times, being wet to the
skin in the cold, Icy water, but he
finally got his charge safely across
and then found that he had missed
all tarins to this city, being compelled
to go Into Omaha where he stayed
over night and coming home the next
morning. Mr.' McDaniels reports that
the trip was one of the worst he ever
experienced and, several times when
he went through i.the ice he feared
that he was not going to come up
again. There are air holes all along
the Tlatte and the crossing la very
dangerous and trecherous. Mr. Chaso
had been vlHltlng with friends and
relatives In this vicinity and had to
take a team and cutter home with
him, concluding to drive over the
route. He tried to got several persons
to show him a safe route over the
Ice but failed and finally secured Mr.
McDanlel after much talk and per
8iiatIon. Jack states tnat this la the
only voyago of tho kind which he In
tends to make this winter unless It
is a case of absolutely necessity.
George A. Melslnger, one of Cass
county's prosperous farmers, living
west of Mynnrd, was In the city today
on business, and found time to drop

Old Reliable for another year. Mr.
Melslnger Is as regular as clock-work

also renewed his son's paper, Philip

If your Stomach, Heart, or Kid

idoose only of Dr. Shoop's Restoratlce
In five or ten days only, the result
will surprise you. A few cents will
cover the cost. And here is why help
comes so quickly. Dr. Shoop doesn't
drug the Stomach, nor stimulate the
Heart or Kidneys. Dr. Shoop'a Restor
ative goes directly to the weak and
failing nerves. Each organ has Its
own controlling nerve. When these
nerves fall, the depending organs
must necesslly falter. This plain, yet
vital truth, clearly tells why Dr.

successful. Its success is leading
druggists everywhere to give it uni

common symptom of diabetes.
It is not what you eat but what you
digest and assimilate that does you
good. Some of the strongest, heaviest
and healthiest persons are mederate
eaters.
There is nothing that will create
sickness of cause more trouble than
a disordered stomach, and many peo
ple daily contract serious maladies
simply through disregard or abuse of
the stomach.

,any Btomach derangement, indigestion
or ayspepsia. wnetner acute or
