PAGE 2. MONDAY. SEPTEMBER 27. 191.1. PLATTSMOUTH SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. THE MISSOURI PACIFIC WRECK OF YESTERDAY The Track Was Cleared Late Last Night and the Midnight Passenger Went South on Regular Time. From Saturday's Dally. . The wreck on the Missouri Pacific north of this city has been cleared away sufficiently to allow the tracks to be used, and the train service over the road was resumed last night and the midnight passenger was able to make the trip south, although the trains were compelled to run at a low rate of speed through the scene of the wreck. The wrecking crew from Falls City was on the job shortly after noon yes terday and the work of removing the wrecked cars was at once commenced and the freight cars that were not in jured were brought back to this city, allowing the wrecker and derrick to get in and start in on getting the track cleared. The cars and the shat tered locomotives were dumped on the sides of the track to allow the clear ing up of the wreck, and after several hours' strenuous work the line was final lv cleared. A number of the head officials from Falls City were on the job to supervise the work of removing the debris. The wreck will be a very costly one and it is estimated that it will cost from $10,000 to $50,000 to replace the damage done to the rolling stock, merchandise and claims from the fam ilies of the dead men and the passeng ers, almost all of whom will have small claims against the company. The bodies of the three dead men, Engineer Mike Sherlock and Fireman W. R. Goodman of the passenger train and Head Brakeman J. E. Wilson, were taken on into Omaha, where they were prepared for shipment to their homes. Sherlock and Goodman lived at Kansas City, while Wilson resided at Falls City. The two injured men, E. L. Cotton of Auburn, the baggageman, and W West, the mail clerk, who were the most seriously injured on the train, were taken to the hospital in Omaha as soon as possible, and it is now thoutrht their injuries will not be serious, although it was thought at first that Cotton was injured inter nally and West had suffered a broken limb, but an examination at Omaha failed to reveal any dangerous in juries and the men will soon recover from their injuries. There were many reports circulated as to the finding of the body of a tramp beneath the wreckage of the baggage car, but this proved without foundation, as there was only the bodies of the three members of the train crews taken from the wreck. The failure of the passenger train to ascertain the fact of whether or not the train they passed at La Platte was 153 or not is clearly the cause of the smash-up, as shown by the evi dence, as the Burlington operator at Oreapolis was not in a position to check either train, as he had no orders from this road. LITTLE BOY BIT BY DOG THAT MAY HAVE BEEN EFFECTED WITH RABIES From Saturday's Dally. Yesterday a little son of Mr. and Mrs: Jacob Benschoter, residing north of this city at the Hamilton place, was engaged in playing with a small dog belonging to the family, when the ani mal turned on the child and fcit it in the hand, inflicting quite a nasty wound, and this occasioned a great deal of worry to the parents of the little boy. who summoned medical as sitance and the wound was dressed The fear that the dog might perhaps be affected with he rabies caused the summoning of Chief Barclay, who shot the dog and the head of the ani mal was sent to Lincoln to be exam ined to determine whether or not it was a victim of the dread rabies. The dog, however, did not seem in the least to be sick or cross, and it is only to be on the safe side that they had the animal killed, as it had been a great pet and all were warmly attach ed to the little dog. The head of the animal was sent to Lincoln this morn ing by Dr. Sandin for examination. Miss Rose Mae Creamer was an over Sunday visitor in the vicinity of Murray at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles L. Creamer.

Yesterday afternoon Senator John Mattes, A. P. Moran and George Oete gen motored up from their homes at Nebraska City to take in the sights at the scene of the M. P. wreck, and while in the city Senator Mattes took the opportunity to drop in at the Journal office and visit for a few min utes with the editorial force. John is looking fine and this has been his first visit 1o this city since his return from California, and his friends here were well pleased to meet the distinguished and genial senator from this district. A MISGELLANOUS SHOWER IN HONOR OF MISS ANNA SEDLQCK From Saturday's Dally. Last evening a most delightful mis cellaneous shower was given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Sedlock, sr., in honor of their daughter. Miss Anna, whose marriage to Mr. Thomas Gradovilel will take place in the near future. The pleasant event was ar ranged by Mrs. Tim Kahoutek and Miss H.ermia Gradoville, and the jolly party of young ladies assembling at the Kahoutek home, proceeded to the residence of the bride-to-be and gave her a very pleasant surprise, and for several hours the Sedlock home rang with merriment as the ladies carried out their different "stunts" in the games that served to pass the evening, and in these contests Miss Anna Rys won the king prize, while Miss Alba Jirousek was awarded the booby prize for the least proficiency in the games. A mock wedding was one of the en joyable features of the evening and provoked a great deal of amusement as the different members of the bridal party performed their roles. A very dainty and delicious luncheon was served at a suitable hour, and before departing each guest presented the bride-to-be with a suitable gift for re membrance in the years to come in her wedded life. Those who were present to enjoy the pleasant event were: Misses Sophia Wesch, Mable Donat, Marie Donat.

"Satan Sanderson," in which Orrin Johnson, the Broadway star, plays the leading lole, and which is announced for appearance at the Gem theater on Wednesday night, September 20, is the third release of the B. A. Rolfe Photoplay company, and is another re lease of the newly formed Metro Pic tures corporation, and in point of in terest and continuity of story prom ises to exceed anything heretofore made injto pictures from a novel. The story of "Satan Sanderson" is the story of a wayward son whose way wardness is inherited from a wayward father, who in the autumn of his life turned for the better. The taint is in the son and it takes true love and a faithful sweetheart to bring his manly traits to the surface. "Satan Sander son" is in five parts and is composed of 300 scenes. In addition to Orrin Johnson, the cast includes one of the screen s most beautiful actresses, Irene Warlield, who plays the part of the blind sweetheart with a broad un derstanding of the role. ARRIVE FROM SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, LAST THURSDAY Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Atkinson, who for several years past have been mak ing their home at San Francisco and San Diego, California, arrived here Thursday afternoon, and expect to make their home in this city, as Mr. Atkinson has accepted a position with Ward Clark in the Bank of Cass Coun ty Barber Shop, and is on the job now. Mrs. Atkinson is a daughter of Col. M. A. Bates and a sister of Robert and T. B. Bates of this city, and the occasion of the arrival of the daugh ter and -sister is most pleasing to the members of the family EMPRESS VAUDE VILLE AT THE PAR L1ELE LAST NIGHT Larger Audience Than Last Week and All Were Delighted With Each and Every Act. From Saturday's Dally. The appearance of the second com pany presenting the Empress vaude ville in this city last evening at the Parmele theater was in keeping with the former high-class attraction that visited here for this circuit. The acts presented were high-class in every way and the ladies and gentlemen composing the collection of artists giving the program were all first class. This vaudeville circuit is one of the best in the west and the op portunity to have it shown in this city on each Friday evening is something that cannot be passed up by the lovers of high-class amusements, and the circuit deserves a most generous patronage in every way from the peo ple of Plattsmouth, as it is not only good, but is shown at prices that puts it within the reach of everyone. The bill last evening was composed of acts that were all thoroughly en joyed and was opened by the Clark Sisters in their dainty and pleasure able song numbers, in which they made one great big hit with the audi ence and received repeated encores, and if they had listened to the ap proval of the audience would have stayed on the stage all evening. Lane & Harper in their original comedy sketch, "The Manicure and the Actor," were laugh-provoking and inter spersed with their fun and jokes were a number of high-class musical num bers. One of the features of the even ing that caused a great deal of in terest was that of Gregoirre & El mil a, "the furniture tusslers," and they were not misnamed, as they handled everything from a kitchen chair to a large and heavy couch in their balancing act. and when work ing the couch balancing act out in the audience there was considerable ex citement occasioned for fear that the couch would slide from the head of the performers, where it was balanc ed. Jessie Hayward & Co., in their screaming farce comedy sketch, "The Quitter," were received with marked favor and their turn was very pleas ing to everyone. While the attendance was far better than on last Friday, the high standard of the show certainly deserved a packed house, as it was worth having every seat filled and encouraged in putting Plattsmouth on the good show map and get rid of the cheap and poor attractions that so often visit here, as the Empress is first-class and up-to-date in every way and their artists are the best that can possibly be procured. NEBRASKA PEOPLE EN JOY PLEASANT DINNER PARTY AT LOS ANGELES From Saturday's Daily. The following account of a gather ing of former Nebraska people in Los Angeles, California, has just been re ceived from C. W.

Mrs. Carrie Wilson of Lincoln, Neb., who has about concluded her two months visit to California, being the chief guest of honor. Inasmuch as the host and hostess and all of the guests pres ent were former Plattsmouth people, it can well be surmised that the oc casion was in the nature of a reunion, and of a very pleasant and lively char acter and was richly enjoyed by one and all. Among those present were: Mrs. .Carrie Wilson. Captain L. D. Bennett, Mrs. M. B. Murphy, Mrs. John R. Cox and daughter, Helen, Mrs. Sue Morrissey,, Mr. and Jlrs.

Holmes at the Presbyterian hos pital in Omaha this morning state that he is doing nicely and has come out of the operation, which was per formed yesterday afternoon, in much better shape than was anticipated, as his case of appendicitis was quite acute and the gravest of fears were entertained as to his recovery, but with the apparent success of the operation it is now more than prob able that with the best of care the patient will soon bo on the highway to recovery, and this will be most de voutedly wished for by his friends here and in his home at Murray.

Bunch, who has had trouble at his leased farm north of this city over the fact that the owner of the property had sold the apples on the place to other parties, in frightening the apple pickers off from his place Friday afternoon, states that he di not intend to injure any of the men but only desired to protect his prop erty rights in the matter, and if 1 e had desired to shoot the men he could easily have done so, but his only de sire was to stop them in taking the apples from the place, as they wee his under his lease, so he states.

Twings follow every sudden twist Dull aching keeps up, day and night. Backache is often from weak kid neys. In such case a kidney medicine is needed.

STREiGHT One of (he Prettiest Homes in Platts-1 mouth, and One That Will Do j to Pattern After. One of the prettiest homes in the city is being erected by William J. Straight on his lots on Oak street, just opposite the St. John's church, and when it is completed it will be an object of beauty, as well as a most cozy home, and is complete in every detail It is a most commodious structure and arranged with a view of the comfort of the family in every way and with all the model n con veniences. The exterior of the house is pie pared with the Kragstone marble finish stucco, which is something new and one of the most popular building materials, in use in the east, and it is the first house to be erected in this city with this finish in use, and it cer tainly presents a very classy and at tractive appearance. This new prod uct is manufactured by the American Magnisum Products company of Chi cago, and of which the Concrete Con struction company of this city are the western agents, and it is undoubtedly one of the linest finishers for a build ing that can be devised, as it is not only very handsome, but also water and fire-proof and combines a flexi bility that makes it very much better than other stucco products for finish ing. It is manufactured in a number of colors, but the gray marble finish which Mr. Straight has for his new home is one of the most popular on the market. The work of placing the stucco is being done by Mr. Robert Williams of Chicago, a representative of the manufacturers, and is a fine job in every way and the work on the new house looks as though it had all been placed there with one sweep of the trowl, so even and well arranged is the marble effect. The interior of the house, while it is not nearly finished, gives one the idea of how really comfortable and well ar ranged it is. On entering from the front one steps onto one of the most charming poches that could be imagin ed, both for comfort and artistic ef fect, and from here one enters the liv ing room, which is one of the largest rooms in the house and which will be one of the most attractive, and a large cobblestone fireplace will be built here, and into which will be used stones from all parts of the Union, as the friends have sent stones to Mr. and Mrs. Streight from Maine to Cali fornia. To the left of the living room a neat den is built, and on the south side of the house the dining room and kitchen are constructed, which will in sure bright, attractive rooms. On the second floor four good-sized bed rooms with ample closets and a fine bath room have been placed, and in the basement the furnace room and laun dry are located, with a clothes shoot leading from the bath room on the second floor. None Equal to Chamberlain's. "I have tried most all of the cough cures and find that there is hone that equal Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. JLt has never failed to give me prompt relief," writes W. y. Harner, Mont- pelier, Ind. When you have a cold give this remedy a trial and see for yourself what a splendid medicine it xs. UbtainaDie everywnere.
