GET RID OF THAT BACKACHE
Plattsmouth People Point the Way.
The constant aching of a bad back,
The weariness, the tired feeling;
Headaches, dizziness, nervousness,
Distressing urinary disorders
Are often signs of failing kidneys
And too serious to be neglected.
Get rid of these troubles!
Use Doan's Pills a stimulant di
uretic to the kidneys. ,
Hosts of people recommend Doan's.
This is a riattsmoutb. case.
You can verify it. !
Mrs. Maggie Kaufman, 624 South
6th street, says: "I felt weak and de
pressed and my housework was a
burden. Every move I made sent
sharp pains across my back and my
back was so sore I could hardly rest
at night. I became dizzy and had
headaches, too. My kidneys were
weak and acted irregularly. I used
one box of Doan's Pills and they
cured the trouble. It is very seldom
I need anything to stimulate my kid
neys." Mrs. Kaufman Is only one of many
Plattsmouth people who have grate
fully endorsed Doan's Pills. If your
back aches if your kidneys bother
you, don't simply ask for a kidney
remedy ask distinctly for DOAN'S
PILLS, the same that Mrs. Kaufman
had the remedy backed by home
testimony.. 60 cents at all dealers.

The career of R. A. Porter, 53, 72G
Avenue P, Council Bluffs, who on
two consecutive nights held up and
terrorized passengers on Omaha
bound trains, was brought to a sud
den close at 7:50 Thursday night by a
bullet fired by Aubrey S. Kenworthy,
32. special agent for the Union Pa
cific, as Porter was making his get
away after having held up and rob
bed 20 persons of nearly $500, on
the Portland Limited, No. 18, crack
Union Pacific train due in Omaha at
7:55 p. m.
Porter was shot through the head
and hip and died in St Joseph hos
pital at 9:05 p. m. without regaining
consciousness.
Porter, evidently inspired by the
success of the Missouri Pacific train
robbery, which he perpetrated Wed
nesday night, boarded the Portland
Limited at Fremont.
Once aboard the train he inquired
of the observation car porter the lo
cation of the lavatory. The porter
showed him, and the bandit went in
to the lavatory and remained there
about 15 minutes, finally emerging
dressed in a pair of white duck over
alls and masked with a brown sock.
Orders Porter to Collect
He at once covered the porter, J.
I). Davis of Portland. Ore., with a
revolver and ordered him to search
the observation car passengers, say
ing: "Go back there, and hold up
those people for me."
The first victim was Jim Hart,
train barber, from whom the porter
tcck $14. which he brought back to
the bandit.
"Drop it in the paper sack here,"
the bandit ordered, indicating a large
paotr shopping bag which he was
carrying.
Noting the smallness of the
amounts which the porter was ob
taining from his victims, the bandit
gruffly inquired:
"What's the matter with these peo
ple? It's funny none of them have
any money when they can afford to
ride on trains. I held up a train last
night ajul didn't even get coffee
money."
Returns Picture of Mother
C. H. Louritzer, Him?dale, 111., the
last victim in the parlor car, had
only $1.50 and a gold watch. Seeing
the watch go into the bag of loot, he
asked the bandit if he might be per
mitted to keep a picture of his moth
er which was in the watch. He was
allowed to retrieve the watch and re
move the picture.
The holdup man then ordered the
porter into the first Pullman just
ahead of the observation car, where
they proceeded to search the passen
gers of that car.
Nearing the front end of the car,
the porter called thru the doorway
to the second Pullman: "Ditch your
valuables, folks, this train's being
stuck up."
"None of that, big boy." the ban
dit snarled, brandishing his weapon.
Conductor Notified
Having finished searching the pas
sengers of the first Pullman, the ban
dit drove the porter ahead into the
second car, but the porter had had
enough and didn't stop. He later re
marked: "Ah kep' right on going till
Ah reached the baggage car."
On his way forward, the porter in
formed Conductor J. H. Breedlovf,
2912 Dodge street, of the holdup
Preedlove ordered that the riot guns,
which are carried on the Portland
Limited, be brought out, but the riot
gun3 were found to be locked up and
could not be brought into action.
The porter then asked: "Is there a
special agent aboard?"
W. S. Davis, 3156 North Fifty
ninth street, a private detective-em
ployed by the Globe Detective Agen
cy, who was riding the train, had a
gun which he brought out, and went
back to meet the bandit.
Private Detective Opens Fire
They met at the rear end of the
diner. Davis shielded himself behind
the refrigerator when the bandit
opened; fire on him. He returned the
fire, using four shots all that he
had with him and wounded the
bandit in the leg. Davis was not
hit.
While the bandit was engaged
with Davis the train pulled to a stop
at Thirty-second and A streets,
where Special Agent Kenworthy had
been stationed to meet the train in
the event of trouble, after State Sher
iff Condit had informed the police
that a man answering to Porter's de
scription had been loitering in Fre
mont during the afternoon.
Kenworthy, hearing the shooting,
rushed around to the side of the ob
servation car and shot Porter thru
the window.
The bandit dropped with Ken
worthy s bullet in his skull.
The government has been investi
gating ways and means of making
paper money last longer, and when
it finds out it i3 to be hoped that
there will be no objection to making
the knowledge general.

For forty years the Standard Oil Company of Nebraska
has been working in this state, extending and improv
ing its service. Born in Nebraska, the company has
grown up with the state grown with its needs be
cause it studied and cared for those needs. It is deep
rooted because its strength is drawn from years of
service.
The automobile industry has moved far and fast in
all those years, but Red Crown Gasoline has kept step
with the changes. It is a balanced gasoline, built to
definite specifications, with the low boiling point frac
tions that insure quick starting in the coldest weather
and a wealth of the higher fractions that insure maxi
mum heat and expansion the real driving force.
Do as experienced motorists have done since auto
mobiles first came to Nebraska. Pull in wherever you
see the Red Crown sign. There you will receive oblig
ing, courteous, prompt service and full measure of
gasoline balanced to give quick starts, clean, complete
combustion and full power on a lean and economical
mixture. Get the Red Crown habit and save money.

NOT A "FBEEZE-0UT" GAME
There has been a prevalent idea
that big stockholders like to "freeze"
little stockholders out of a corpora
tion and thus gain control. This is
a mistaken idea when applied to the
modern well managed public service
company.
Take for an example, Mr. Clerk in
a grocery store, who owns $100
worth of stock in the North American
company which shows a property val
ue of some $300,000,000. He may
figure that President Frank L. Dame
is unconcerned whether he sells his
stock or not.
Such is not the case. Mr. Dame
wants to know why each share is
sold so that he can tell whether there
is dissatisfaction with the company j
management. He says: j
"Financial circles are notorious!
for gossip. Lot dissatisfaction occur j
in the stockholder's mind, and he ex
presses himself, forcibly. He doc?'
it by selling his stock. A sale does j
M. . 1 - l 1 . 1
hoi necessarily mean a kiui-kiiuiuci
vote against the management and
yet, any sale might be exactly that."
It is physically impossible for the
officers of a large holding company
like the North American to meet any
considerable number of its 25.000
stockholders and give them a first
hand impression of the quality of the
service or management of the com
pany. Therefore, in addition to send
ing new stockholders a letter of
greeting when they become members
of the North American family, Mr.
Dame sends every stockholder who
sells his stock a personal letter and
a questionnaire seeking to find out
the reason for the sale, u it is ror
other than purely personal reasons.
The result has been astounding.
Forty-seven per cent of ex-stockhold
ers reDly at once. Numerous misun
derstandings have been straightened t
out. and the queetionnaire naa
brought many former stocinoiaers
straight back into the North Amer
ican family-
It is reassuring to a stockholder to
know that officials in "his" company
are not only interested in selling
him stock to secure development ot
the rionsrty but are further inter
ested In retaining him as a stockhold
er by fciving such a satisfactory man
agement that he will not wish to sell
his holdings.
When Mr. Clerk in the grocery
store gets a personal letter from Mr.
Dame about the sale of his $100 in
vestment in the North American
company, he feels that the manage
ment considers him as more than a
source of revenue. In asking for his
support by showing that his funds
have been handled in a creditable
manner, he has been made a "part
ner in fact" in the undertaking.
