A ROAD LAW THAT
WOULD WOOD ROADS
The Sioux City (Iowa) Tribune,
commenting upon a bill introduced
by Senator Van Law In the Iowa leg
islature, hits the nail right on the
head, and would prove Just as good
law for Nebraskka as in Iowa. The
Tribune says:
"lie proposes the creation of a
state highway commission of three
members, composed of the civil engi
neering professors at Iowa Oity and
Ames and a civilian to be appointed
by the governor, these three to serve
-without pay and to appoint a state
highway engineer, with a salary of
$4,000 a year, who shall serve during
.sood behavior. This engineer would
lay out plans for a system of state
highways and see to their building,
charging half their cost to the coun
ties In which they are laid.
"It Is a wise provision to make the
engineer's office non-partisan and
put up a salary sufficient to, attract a
competent man one who cannot be
Temoved except for mismanagement,
neglect of duty or disability. It Is,
however, a serious question whether
the bill should not go further and
provide for county engineers.
"Let these engineers have absolute
charge over the highways and bridges
of the county, taking over the work
that now develops upon the county
surveyors. Let them be empowered
to make recommendations and put a
veto on county appropriations of
money for work that will not stand
the test of a scientific road builder
"The efforts of boards of super
visors and township trustees to build
and maintain roads have been and
cannot but be monumental failures
and a waste of public money. Un
trained men cannot successfully un
dertake and carry on engineering en
terprises. Trying It they have ex
pended millions of Iowa money that
might as well have been sent up In
emoke for all there Is now to show
for It. The colleges are turning out
hundreds of properly trained men.
Provide the machinery for a wise ex
penditure of road and bridge funds,
make It easy and rapid to operate and
keep It "well oiled," and there will
be no need for additional wheel
taxes."

Loses Her Trunk. I
Miss Grace Dalton, who has been
attending York college, returned
from that Institution last evening,
where ste went afier the Christmas
holidays to put a tracer after her
trunk, which was lost by the railway
company during the rush of holiday
traffic. Miss Dalton checked the
trunk for Plattsmouth when she got
her ticket to come home to spend the
Christmas vacation, and has never
seen the trunk since, and It seems
that no trace of It can be found by
the railway agents. Miss Dalton went
back to school after the vacation was
over hoping that the missing trunk
could be traced and returned to her
at York, but up to the present time It
has not been found.
RiCKW OF PHIL
ADELPHIA IH THE TOILS
Richard Turner, of Philadelphia,
who arrived from the city of broth
erly love Saturday, was so chilled by
the reception accorded him In Platts
mouth that he Immediately took to
drink to drown his disappointment.
He soon accumulated a Jag that ren
dered him unconscious and was gath
ered in by the police and given quar
ters at the county jail with the com
mon criminals.
Yesterday Turner was wrought be
fore Judge Archer with his counten
ance so badly disfigured that he re
sembled a prize fighter Just out of a
mill. He informed the judge that he
was looking for work, that he had no
recollection of anyone belting him on
the Jaw. The court gave him the
usual fine for first offense, $5.00 and
costs. In default of payment Turner
was returned to Jail, where he will
board at the city's expense.
Some time before the man was
found in the beastly state of Intoxi
cation he found his way Into Dr.
Ransom's dental office and asked the
doctor to examine his Jaw. He was
at that time so drunk that his tongue
was becoming thick and his speech
difficult to understand. By the aid
o' an Interpreter Dr. Ransom ascer
tained that something was wrong
with Turner's face, and on examina
tion it was discovered that the Jaw
was broken. Turner then went with
Dr. Ransom to Dr. Livingston's office
and the Jaw was set. Jt is likely that
Turner did not recall the Incident at
;lie doctor's office as he said nothing
about it to the court.
FIRE STARTED FROM
SPARK FROM ENGINE
Last evening while the hack teams
were standing at the Burlington sta
tion awaiting the arrival or No. 2 the
switch engine In passjng the station
threw sparks at a lively rate, one of
which alighted upon the blanket cov
ering one of the Parmele barn horses,
setting the blanket on fire. The
driver was not far away and noticed
the black smoke arising from his
team and rushed over to It and re
moved the blanket from the horse
and threw It on the ground and
stamped the fire out, but not until a
hole the size of a man's hat was
burned In the blanket. The spark
fell on the back band of the harness
and had not yet reached the animal,
but had it not been discovered at the
moment, there would have been a
lively runaway very shortly.

DEATH OF DR.
HP.
Passes Away This Morning at
His Home in This City
From Weilnonclay'i "Dally.
Dr. A. P. Barnes, who has been
more or less of an invalid for the
past three years, passed away at his
home on South Ninth street this
morning near the hour of 10 o'clock.
Anthony Tolaskl Barnes was born
in Michigan,' August 1, 1S51. He
grew to manhood in his native state,
coming to Nebraska, he settled at
Schuyler, while yet a young man. Be
ing possessed of a roving disposition
he did not reside at Schuyler long,
but later went to Texas, where he
lived for about three years, after
ward he resided at Fremont for a
time. While he resided at Schuyler
he took up the study of veterinary,
which he pursued with diligence, and
began the practice of his profession
at that place. During his practice
Dr. Barnes accumulated a large
library which he had the misfortune
to lose by flre. He was married
twice, the first marriage being with
Mrs. Nora M. Lockwood, at Cold Har
bor, Michigan, the ceremony being
solemnized on the 2Sth day of Sep
tember, 1878.
With his wife Dr. Barnes went to
Missouri, where he practiced his pro
fession for a year, removing from
Missouri to Nebraska, coming to
Plattsmouth for the first time about
twenty-one years ago.
Three children were born to this
marriage, one of whom, Leandor G
Barnes, survives. On coming to Cass
county, Dr. Barnes settled at Elm
wood, where he resided for about six
years, when he removed to Auburn,
where he resided a year or so, rcmov
ing to Plattsmouth. About eight
years ago his wife died, and in 1907,
Dr. Barnes was married to Mrs. Katie
Barkus, at Omaha.
After his marriage the second time
Dr. Barnes was engaged in the res
taurant business and did a thriving
business until the flood of three years
ago which caused him to be a heavy
loser. Dr. Barnes' illness dates from
his exposure In the waters of the
flood which filled the basement of the
building he then occupied on Sixth
street. His labor to save his prop
erty at that time, wading in water
several feet deep and the worry over
his loss, caused him to be sick after
ward and he never. fully regained his
health, but has gradually failed, and
a n.onlh or so ngo became so reduced
l:i strength that he was compelled to
take to his bed.
He is survived by his wife, one son,
Leander G., and three step-sons, Roy
and Frank Barkus, of Omaha, and
Lester Barkus, of Plattsmouth, re-
Biding at home.
He Is also survived by one brother,
C. S. Barnes, M. D., of Burr, Nebras
ka, and one sister, Mrs. Nancy Came
ron, of Battle Creek, Michigan.
The funeral will occur Thursday
afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Meth
odist church, conducted by Rev. Aus
tin, pastor.

l'lirliiiton Closed Tlm Station!!,
Three of the smaller stations on

general manager. The three statlous
closed were Roxet, Wyoming, Janu

20. The closing of these stations was
caused by the fact that the railroad
business In the west at present Is
very quiet, not only on the Burling

in the passenger and freight depart

'"CONSTANT READER"
Plattsmouth, Neb., Jan. 1G, 1911.
Editor Journal: In Saturday's
Issue of the Journal appeared an
article signed by an "Inquirer" and
commented upon by the Journal
man to the extent of confessing In
ability to answer same.
Now, the Inference to be drawn
from the article Itself and the editor's
mild comment Is that, the writer of
the article, and the editor are not
Ignorant as to the real reason for the
different attitude, especially of courts
of that character (federal courts)
and, however much we may deplore
or deny, the fact remains there are
classes In "this land of the free and
home of the brave" (?) referred to
by you In Saturday's Issue of the
ournal. And those classes referred
to are the possessing class and the
producing class, or In other words,
the capitalist class and the working
class. And the capitalistic class who
through their large campaign contri
butions control the hiachinery of
government and put up for election
for Instance, such fellows as our fat
man Taft, for president, who In turn
appoint to such positions as federal
Judges (gentlemen of the cloth) who
decide such cases In such manner as
referred to In Saturday's Issue of the
Journal on behalf of the fellows with
the big purse.
Therefore, Moyer, Haywood and
Pettibone, of Colorado; representing
the underpaid miners of the Western
Federation, and Fred D. Warren,
editor of the socialist weekly, of Kan
sas, are not the same stripe of lndi
vlduals and did not represent the
same class as did ex-Governor Taylor,
of Kentucky, hence their respective
treatment at the hands of the class
conscious capitalist court.
Briefly stated I consider this to be
the reason for such unjust and very
conflicting decisions.

Here is local evidence to prove their
merit:
J. S. Hall, S. Sixth street, Platts
mouth, Nebraskka, says: "In 1895
I strained my back and soon after
that I began to suffer from kidney
trouble. I had severe pains across
the small of my back and on this ac
count It was difficult for me to stoop
or arise from a chair. I tried several
remedies, but to no avail and finally
when I had the good fortune to hear
of Doan's Kidney Pills, II procured a
box at Rynott & Co's drug store.
Within forty-eight hours after 1 took
the first dose, I felt better. Since then
I have always kept a supply of Doan's
Kidney Pills In the house, finding
that they bring the best of results."
