Not Much on 'the Fish.
Ed Ness went to the Missouri river
last Sunday, with the brag on his
lips that he was an old hand at the
business of fishing, and that his
neighbors could depend upon being
supplied with one good square meal
at least. After a tour up ana aown
the river for some time looking for
good place to try his luck, he
finally got a bite and asked nis
campanlons to remain quiet until he
made a haul, for he knew he had a
big one on his hook. The boys did
re requested and when he pulled his
line, lo, and behold, one little old
mud-turtle came forth, much to the
dlsguest of Ed. He caught no fish and
he returned home to receive the jeers
of his friends, and it is doubtful ir
he ever goes fishing again.

ROCK THROWII III
ULITOII 110.15
Breaks Window in Car and Pas-
sengers Struck by Glait
From Tuesday's Dally.
Passengers on the smoking car of
train No. 15 of the Burlington, this
morning were thrown Into something
near a panic while running past the
Fltzgerald-Schlater place north of
of the city, by a young lad throw
ing a rock through one of the win
dows of the car. The first lntlma
tlon most of the occupants of the
car had of the occurrence was when
the rock struck one of the glass win
dows, shattering It into a mass of
small particles which flew over sev
eral occupants of the car and came
near causing serious Injury to sev
eral of them.
The rock struck the window of a
seat occupied by County Surveyor
Fred Patterson of this city and after
shattering the window struck him
upon the left elbow inflicting a so
vere bruise.. In addition Mr. Patter
son was covered with particles of the
flying glass, tne pieces oemg no
larger ln most instances than a pin-
head. Fortunately none or tne ny-
ing particles structc mm in an eye or
other delicate part and aside from
the bruise, his Injuries were not se
vere.
Just behind Patterson, Albert Funk
also of this city, occupied a seat and
some of the flying glass struck him
in the face, one small particle strlk-
ing him in the corner of the left eye.
It did not, however, strike him in
such a manner as to injure the sight.
A travelling passenger agent for
the Burlington occupied a seat across
the aisle from Mr. Patterson and he,
too, got a shower of the glass, the
back of neck and his face getting a
number of the fine particles. While
wiping the glass off his face he dis
covered that several small jcuts had
been made but none of which were
serious
H. C. Vanilorn, also a resident of
this city, was another man to get a
share of the glass which was so gen
erously distributed about but as in
the other cases, no damage was done.
Doctor George H. Gilmore of Mur
ray, was among the passengers on
the car and, as soon as he learned
the cause of the noise, he hurried
back to give any assistance he might
be able to render Jo the victims of
rock. He removed the piece of glass
from the eye of Mr. Funk at once
and his timely air undoubtedly will
help that young man to escape any
serious results. The doctor also
made an examination of Mr. Patter
son's arm and found that he had sus
tained merely a severe bruise and
that he had fortunately not had any
boncti LroKen. In the case of Mr.
Vanilorn and the Burlington agent,
the doctor gave them some aid all
which the nature of their Injuries re
quired It was fortunate for the vls-
tlms that the doctor happened to be
present at the time as his aid ma
terially assisted In preventing and
bad effects from tho cuts.
Mr. Funk, one of the Injured men,
states that he saw the boy who
threw the rock just before he threw
It. He says he was standing upon
a high hill which the railroad skirts,
and took deliberate aim at the train.
He states that tho boy is a young
ster about fourteen years of age who
lives with Thomas Kildow on the
Fitzgerald place north of the city.
Funk claims to be acquainted with
the boy and is sure that he was the
one who threw the stone.
Immediately after the stone had
struck the glass and as soon as the
excitement had toned down, a search
was made by several occupants of the
car and the stone which had done
the damage was found. It is a rougt,
white stone about the size of a man's
fist. The railroad authorities took
possession of It and It is presumed
that they Intend to prosecute the boy
If he can be apprehended. The fact
of the trouble was reported by the
trainmen to the Omaha offices of the
company and it is supposed steps
will be taken at once to see that
a stop is put to the practice.
The facts ln the matter were
brought down to this city by William
Holly, the clothier, who was one of
the passengers on the train but who
was In another part of the car when
the occurrence took place. He says
the excitement for a moment was In
tense as no one had any idea what
the trouble was. The rock when it
hit the w indow made a very loud re-
I port.
This Is the first trouble of the kind

Murray Visitors in City.
Dr. George H. Gilmore and I. S.
White, two of Murray's representa
tive citizens, came up this morning
from that enterprising little city in
tne doctor.B machlne, and were pas
sengers for Omaha where they will
spend the day. While waiting at
the depot this morning, Mr. White
entertained the doctor and the Jour
nal man with some delightful rem
iniscences of early days in this lo-
caiityi ne ueing a pioneer of the coun-
ty. Among other things when he
mentioned was the occasion when F.
S. White, the well known Platts
mouth citizen, was engaged In load
ing freight at the wharf and backed
his team Into the Missouri river,
He says that the team came up
shouting "Hurrah for the Union" ac
cording to the veracious Mr. White
This all happened during the war
times and the country was consider
ably wilder than at present. The gen
tlemen expect to return to the city
this evening and take the automobile
rotue home.
Orr to Itetire.
Atchison, KaB., May 3. It is un
derstood here that J. W. Orr soon
will retire voluntarily as an assist
ant general attorney for the Mis
souri Pacific. He recently was offer
ed the position of general attorney
in Nebraska for the same company,
but refused, saying he did not care
to leave Atchison and that he wisn
ed to devote his future years to travel
and his private law practice. He has
been a Missouri Pacific attorney for
twenty-four years and is a member
of the law firm of Waggener, Orr &
Challiss.
Mr. Orr is quite well known in
this city and has many friends here
who will learn of his determination
with the deepest regret.

J. W. Hickson, Oak St., Platts
mouth, Xeb., says: "I will never
cease to praise Doan's Kidney Pills,
as they proved of such great bene
fit to me several years ago. For
some time I was caused much suffer
ing by attacks of lumbago that came
on without the least warning. The
simplest movement was painful and
I was also annoyed by irregular
passages of the kidneys secretions.
I read so much about Doan's Kidney
Pills that I finally procured a box
from Gering & Co.'s drug store. I
was so gratified with the results of
their use that I publicly recommend
ed them in 1906 and at this time, I
willingly verify that statement. I
hope that other kidney sufferers will
profit by my experience."
