George Washington la said to have
teen the greatest of the world's great
men. He was born In Westmoreland
county, Virginia, February 22, 1732.
It la said of blm that he bad little
actual schooling, and (polled badly,
but that be was a good practical
surveyor, and waa able to "do." He
wrote poor verses, but he tamed the
wildest horses, and dominated the
most unruly of bis schoolmates."
In January, 1759, he married the
"Widow Custls, and settled down to
the life of a gentleman farmer, look
ing after the Interests of bis parishes
la the local vestries, dispensing
boHpltallty in true Virginia style,
superintending his estates after a
thrifty fashion, and keeping up his
spirits and his health by fox hunt
ing. He had little In life to wish for ex
cept children. "Hut If children did
not come, his life was destined to be
filled with a higher love and more
absorbing rarcs. He was to be the
father of his country."
President Jefferson said of blm:
"Perhaps the strongest feature In his
character was prudence, never act
ing till every circumstance, every
consideration, was maturely weighed,
refraining If he saw a doubt; but,
when once decided, going through
with bis purposo, whatever obstacles
opposed. Ills Integrity was the most
pure, bis justice the most Inflexible, I
have ever known, no motives of In

THE FATHER
GEO. WASHINGTON
Irritable and high-toned; but reflec
tion and resolution bad obtained a
Arm and habitual ascendancy over
It."
The site of the present city of
Washington was chosen by Washing
ton. He admired It first as a boy
riding horseback over the country,
and had a leading part in purchasing
the ground later on for the capital
site. A planter by the name of
Burns refused for some time to sell
bis 600 acres, which be did not wish
to see "spoiled for a good farm to
make a poor capital." Finally the
government bought this land on the
same terms as had been made with
the other owners of the site; the gov
ernment to have one lot, and the
original owner the other lot,
alternately, the latter being also paid
$125 per acre for such part of his
land as might be taken for public
use.
"Circumstances determined that
Washington should learn the lessons
of life from men rather than from
books. Ho read little, and that only
on the subjects of agriculture and
English history."
The public schools, postofflce,
banks and county offices will be
closed next Wednesday In honor and
In memory of the first saviour of our
country. The 22nd of February Is
viewed by every true American as
one of the principal holidays of the
land, and the children as they grow
up are learned from. Infancy to

Country."

Nervou People,
In case of great nervousness,
where the patients are forced to seek
help, a very common mistake is made
In using nerve-scdatlves, which often
are ntrvo-klllors. The most common
caucs of nervousness Is weakness of
the nerves, requiring a different
mode of treatment. Such persons
need a remedy whlcji will give tone
to the nerves and which will give
them good nourishment. Such a
remedy Is Trlner'B American Elixir
of nitter Wine. Many cases of
nervousness are due to some disorder
of the functions of the digestive
system. If the digestion is not per
fect, the blood Is poor and cannot
give enough nourishment to the
nerves and they become weak, ex
hausted from hunger. This remedy
regulates the dlgetslon, cleans out the
body, makes the blood rich. If
nervousness Is accompanied by a
stomach trouble or constipation, use
Trlner's American Elixir of Bitter
Wine. At druggists. Jos. Trlner,

After reading the public statement
of this representative citizen of
Plattsmouth given below, you must
come to this conclusion: A remedy
which cured years ago, which has
kept the kidneys in good health since,
can be relied upon to perform the
same work In other cases. Read this:
J. B. Patridge, 8th street, Platts
mouth, Nebraska, says: "I suffered
almost constantly from pains across
my loins and kidneys and at times I
was In a bad way. On several occa
sions I was so badly crippled that I
could only get about with the aid of
two canes. The contents of the first
box of Doan's Kidney Pills, procured
from Rynott & Co's drug store,
helped me so greatly that I continued
taking the remedy and it brought me
entire relief. It would be Impossible
for me to speak too highly of Doan's
Kidney Pills."
The above statement was given In
June, 1906, and on December 29,
1908, Mr. Patridge said: "I still en
dorse Doan's Kidney Pills highly. I
willingly verify the statement I gave
over two years ago In their favor."

RESIDED! BURNS
No One at Home at the Time,
Which Makes It Appear the
Work of an Incendiary .
Last night the fire alarm was
sounded about 1 o'clock, and the first
sound of the whistle Indicated that
the fire was in the Burlington shops,
buit within a few seconds another
alarm was sounded which located the
fire in the Fourth ward. The fire
boys turned out as hastily as possible,
and It was ascertained that the fire
was burning "Dad" Renner's resi
dence, and the shortest cut to the
fire was over the hill on Sixth street.
The fire was first discovered by the
night watchman at the shops, and It
was assumed of large proportions
when first discovered, and from the
position of the man viewing the
blaze, It appeared to be at the sub
storehouse, and the watchman at
once gave, the whistle a blast for a
fire at the shops. The watchman
then got outside the building and dis
covered his mistake and returned and
gave the second alarm. Before the
fire department could get to the
scene of the fire, having to tug the
carts through the mud and up the
Sixth street hill, some of the shop
boys had taken some of the shop
hose and were playing on the fire.
For a time the fire brands fell rather
thick over In the shop yards and on
the roof of the building opposite the
blazing structure, so that some of the
men were kept busy with a hose there
to prevent a disastrous fire being
lighted In the shop yard.
To those who first arrived at the
burning building It appeared that the
fire had started at the south end of
the dwelling, and when help arrived
the south half of the building was In
ruins. A small amount of the fur
niture In the dwelling was taken out
of the north room, and although the
rain was falling the building burned
very rapidly, the fire spreading quick
ly to the other parts of the building.
There was no one In the dwelling at
the time the fire started, as the
daughters of Mr. Renner have been,
recently, In the habit of going to
their brother-in-law's, Mr. Stokes, to
sleep, being afraid to remain at the
house since Mrs. Blunt filed a peace
warrant complaint against her hus
band, Jesse Blunt. Mr. Renner, who
is an old soldier and a member of
the G. A. R., is janitor of the Coates'
block and has been sleeping In his
room there, i And as no one had been
In the. dwelling for seven hours or
more before the fire started the origin
of the fire is very mysterious, and
circumstances seem to point to an
Incendiary origin.
The fire boys deserve much praise
for the heroic efforts nut forth to
reach the fire and the splendid work
done after arriving on the ground, as
the entire structure would have gone
up in smoke had It not been for
their-strenuous work.
The loss will fall heavily on Com
rade Renner, as there was no In
surance on the dwelling or Its con
tents.

Arrest of Canvasser Later for
Being Intoxicated.
Yesterday afternoon, on complaint
of the Commercial club, a complaint
In writing was prepared and filed by
City Attorney B. S. Ramsey against
one R. A. Maggerrel, first name un-1
known, charging Mr. Maggerrel with
"peddling and selling to the general
public and otherwise, goods, wares
and merchandise, to-wit: Shirts,
ladles' shirt waists and other goods
unknown to affiant, in the city of
i Plattsmouth, state of Nebraska, with
out first procuring an occupation
license therefor;" that such depreda
tions were committed on the 12th,
13th and 14th of February, 1911,
against the peace and dignity of the
city, as well as the great state of Ne
braska. A warrant was Issued and placed
In the hands of Chief Ben Rainey for
service. The erring gentleman was
apprehended and placed under arrest,
as the warrant commanded, and
taken before Judge Archer, and asked
to have his ca3o continued until he
could hear from his firm, and he was
allowed to go out In the custody of
the chief in quest of a bond. The
city attorney .advised the court to
send him to jail until his bond was
furnished.
Mr. Maggerrel remained in the
custody of the police for some time,
and was Informed by Chief Rainey
that If he would comport himself as
a lawablding citizen and not further
fill up on booze, he would allow him
to go to his room at the Riley and go
to bed until morning. But this re
straint seemed to nettle the shirt
salesman, and he at once began to
curse the officers of the law. and.'
growing bolstrous, was locked up for
being drunk and disorderly.
Complaint was filed this morning
for the latter offense, and Maggerrel
was arraigned before Judge Archer
and pleaded guilty to the latter
charge. lie was fined $5 and costs
as a plain drunk, and, In default of
payment, was sent to Jail to recline
for six days. His company wired him
a bond this morning to allow a con
tinuance on the charge of violating
the occupation ordinance.
Mr. Maggerrel will first serve out
his sentence or pay his fine and costs
before the occupation ordinance
violation will be heard.
