test of years, giving satisfaction in
every case. which its rapidly increasing
sale every season confirms. Two mill
ion bottles sold annually. Boschee's
German Syrup was introduced in the

James Branson, a car repairer,
working in the car shops was
slightly injured in a peculiar
manner this forenoon. A string
of bad order cars was being
brought into the yards and
Branson attempted to throw
the switch to let the cars onto
the repair track. Instead of
fastening the switch lever he at
tempted to hold it in his hand
until the cars passed over.
When the trucks of the car
struck the rail the switch lever
was wrested from his hand and
the heavy steel handle struck
him square in the mouth, in
flicting a painful but not seri-
GUS injury.

mences IN TINS city Feb. oath.
The courts of Pottawattamie
county last year cost the tax
payers of that county forty
thousand dollars. A large ma
jority of the cases originated
in Council Bluffs.
The II year old son of Cover
nor Herriod, of South Dakota,
died of appendicitis yesterday
at Pierre. The legislature adj
!journed out of respect for the
Governors misfortune.
The law in New York is that
the railroad is liable for any
amount of damage that may
be proven in a case where a
person has been killed on a rail
road in that state. A case was
commenced in New York City
this week in which the New York
Central is sued for $25O,0OO for
the death of a passenger. That
would be a good state to send a
lot of fellows to and have them
killed on the railroad, as they
would be worth much more
dead than alive.
The old transfer depot at
Council Bluffs is to be abandon
ed and the E.up town" offices of
the railroad companies center
ing there is to do the business
formerly done at the transfer.
The old transfer is one of the
land marks of Council Bluffs,
and through it's doors have pas
sed a large percentage of the
emigrants who have built up
the western country. For 25
years it was one of the busiest
places in the west, all trains
on all roads leading into Coun-
Gil Bluffs unloading their pas
sengers there. Perhaps more
people who are now citizens of
the great west know the old
transfer better than any other
point in the country, for at that
place they were transferred
from the regular passenger
trains and packed into the emf
grant trains and started for
their new homes in the wild
woody west. Council Bluffs
will be sorry to see the old place
closed.
Editor Enbody, of the Dun
lap Reporter, was a pleasant
caller this morning. His name
has been sent to the senate for
appointment as post master of
Dunlap. This is as it should be
for if there is a person on earth
that needs an office from the
Government it is the average
country editor. During a hot
political campaign the country
editor puts in all his time and
gives the space in his paper for
the good of his party. He takes
the principal amount of cussing
that is usually indulged in dur
ing the campaign. He usually
works his force overtime get
ting out extra copies of his
paper to boom some bow legged
candidate into office-loses
subscribers from the opposition
party because he is so bitter
in fact has a tough time during
the whole campaign, and when
it is over don't even get a thank
you from the committee who
has the work in hand. If he
asks pay for even the extra
papers he has sent out he is
told that the campaign fund has
been spent hireing 2x4 lawyers
to make school house speeches
and in bribing the floating voter
to ''vote with us this year." If
the average editor would de-
mand pay from his political
committee for the work he does
in the campaign the aforesaid
committee would meet and
read him out of the party for
being a boodler, when even
their own pockets were bursting
with the campaign fund they
had "laid up" for their own
work. A man is a lunatict
