4. FORTY. YEARS AGO.
Cal Moore is just the boss mush
room hunter; beats anybody.
Captain O'Rourke hurt his eye se
riously last week by running a stick
from a flower pot into the ball, as he
was stooping to lift the same.
Mr. Chet Smith has gone east on
business, to be gone several weeks.
The Herolds are having their build
ings newly painted; also the drug
store oceunied bv Mr. Johnson. It
helps their appearance very much in
deed. Last Sunday night was about as
dark as it usually gets, and the church
goers had a hard time of it getting
home. Mrs. Babbington in attempt
ing to cross the street by Jones' livery
stable steDned into the ditch and
severely sprained her ankle.
Doctors are plenty about Eight Mile,
we learn. Our old friend, Mr. McCon
key, has gone into the business lately,
at least that's what air Eight Miler
told us last week.
Fred Dorrington has just got back
from Denver, where he has been buy

The Molly Magee.
is gone up the spout, or rather dow
the suction at last. She was drive
from her moorings during the late
rise, struck by the ice floating in the
river on Friday night, and sunk just
below the point out near the island.
She has long been the only ferry
boat here and has done good service in
her day. We are sorry for the loss to
Mr. Sharp and Mr. Morgan and hope
they are duly and tully insured.
A Sudden Death.
Late Thursday evening, the fd, a
report came up town that a man had
been killed on the railroad track near-
!y opposite the house of Mike Osborn
The Herald reporter hurried down and
found the sad report only too true. In
the small, unsued cigar shop of Fred
Kroehler, the body of what was but
a few moments before a hale, hearty
man, lay crushed and bleeding. The
wheels of the cars had passed com
pletely over the man's body, crushing
both arms and tearing the bowels
open.
Injuries: Cut across body just
above pelvis, cutting open abdomen
and disemboweling him, the ribs on
the right side were all fractured, and
the pressure over thorax forced out
the lower lobes of the lungs below the
diaphragm; right arm and hand was
comminuted and shoulder torn open;
left forearm and hand comminuted. A
mark about two inches wide extended
along left side of face, injuring eye
and fracturing jaw on that side. The
spine was separated just above the
sacrum and he had to be put together
and secured with neavy stitches be
fore he could be washed.
The coroner, Mr. Ed Buttery, hac
been summoned ana already a jury
was empaneled. They were George
Edgerton, Ben Hempel, William Ben
j nett. Con Mahoney, A. Cunningham
William Knight.
ine name 01 the man killed was
Charles Brooks, he was about 22 years
old, and has a brother working for Mr
Fitzgerald on the farm, and a sister
at Glenwood.
After viewing the body carefully,
and examining the wounds, the cor
oner, jury and witnesses adjourned to
thje city council chamber. Mr. Hold
rege, of the B. & M., took charge of
the body and assured the coroner that
the railroad company would see to all
expenses of burial and do all that was
needed at present for deceased.

RENEWED TESTIMONY
No one in Plattsmouth who suffers
backaches, headaches, or distressing
urinary ills can afford to ignore this
Plattsmouth man's twice-told story.
It is confirmed testimony that no
Plattsmouth resident can doubt.
C. L. Hates, farmer, Ninth and Wal
nut streets, Plattsmouth, says: "Kid
ney complaint seemed to come over me
all of a sudden. I attributed the trou
ble to a heavy cold which settled on
my kidneys and made them weak,
causing tho secretions to pass too fre
quently; I suffered considerably from
pain across the small of my back. To
rtoop or stand erect sent sharp
twinges darting through my loins. I
was languid and had but little ambi
tion. Doan's Kidney Pills, procured
from Edward Rynott & "Cos ""drug
store, soon greatly benefited me and
two boxes made a permanent cure."
(Statement given April 9, 1912.)
On February 22, 1916, Mr. Bates
said: ''My opinion of Doan's Kidney
Pills is just the same today as it was
when I gave my first recommendation.
I have never had Doan's Kidney Pills
fail to do me good whenever my kid
neys have caused me trouble."
Price T0e, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy get

Most men are prac
tical on the Clothes
subject. They want
style of course! They
want satisfactory
wear.
That's why we make
so many friends by
selling
StylepSos 17
Trade-Mark
"the some price the nAXioo over" .
They have style to
spare if you want
a peppery model.
But the big variety
spreads out to include the man who doesn't
care for a pronounced "cut." Even dress suits
and tuxedos at $17. Also Norfolk suits.
It takes ability, capital and big business to produce a
superior article at an average price.
The makers of Styleplus focus the effort of their great
organization on this suit of one price.
Hence all wool fabrics, exceptional tailoring and the
style of a great designer. Always $17.
C. E. Wescott's Sons
Everybody's Stcre
Bitten By a Kat.
Tom, the sixteen year old son of
Mr. and Mrs. B-3it Fisher, who was
bitten by a rat about two weeks ago
and who was so seriously ill from Sat
urday until Tuesday, is reported ns
much better, this, Thursday, morn
ing. Some ten day? prior to the boy's
severe illness he was sawing wood and
discovered two rats in the woodpile.
He succeeded in killing one and by
this time the neighbor's dog came to
his assistance and the rat, while Ret
ting away firm the dog, ran up tin
Loy's Ivg r.nd when he brushed it o4'F
it h'A him 011 the hand. After that the
dog grabbed the rat and killed it.
Many wild stoiies have gone out
and been told regarding the boy hav
ing hydrophobia anil the dog being
mad, and similar stories that had no
foundation to them, although the boy
was critically ill for several days with
a temperature of from lO-lVi to 10".
There was great concern that th.-i rat
might have been infected with rabie-,
but tho dog had nothing to do with the
case, as the rat bit the boy before th
dog came in contact with it, and we
are glad to note that the "boy is get
ting along all right. Weeping Wa;er
