GLASS Regular Meeting of Woodmen of the World Enlivened by Ceremony of Introduction of Class. Another Class Preparing for the Next Meeting, September 8th. Local interest in tho Woodmen of the World had a splendid rise at tho regular session of Maple Camp on Wednesday tiight, when the state deputy, who is in this locality, intro duccd a class of candidates for intro duction into tho mysteries of the order. The business session opened prompt ly at 8, o'clock, and the routine busi ness followed promptly, so that tho ceremony of introduction was begun at 9 o'clock and tho candidates marched into tho hall in a body. During the evening two very pleas ing musical numbers were rendered by Messrs. Camille Nolio, Fred Funk, Bruce Mnllcry, nnd Misses Bculah Smith and Honnio Thomas, nnd tho appearance of these entertaining mu sicians was roundly applauded and their numbers highly appreciated by those present. Rev. J. N. Huston was called upon to tnako a few fitting remarks acting as spokesman for tho candidates aud his talk was one which gave food for thought tor old as well ns the new members, Following this the candidates re ceived instruction in tho secret work of the order aud a recess followed, which period was given over to merriment nnd partaking of the refreshments, which tho entertainment committee had provided- Another claBS adoption is scheduled for the next regular meeting, Wednes day, Sept. 8th, at which a number of candidates have already petitioned for a place. Interest in the organization is steadi ly increasing and the Woodmen aro looking forward to the fall aud whiter with considerable satisfaction for tho reason that the field is ripe for consid erable additional work, aud tho local officers are determined to roll in all suitable material that presents itself. Encouraging Words The editor ol Tho Herald recently received a letter from Rev. G. C. Jef fcrs of Mecklenburg, N. Y., formerly pastor of the Baptist church at Alli ance. It was so full of encouragement and expressions of good will that we think many of our readers will be inter ested in the following extract from it: The Herald is making its weekly visits to our home in central New York. We greatly enjoy the same, not only for the news it brings concerning Alli ance and ber people, which are in a sense, my people, but for the editorial comments on moral questions, particu larly the temperance question. These are fearless, common-sense and practi cal. There is a wide field of useful ness open before any paper of like conviction, for all such aro molders of a right public opinion, that sort of an opinion which makes for the public weal. Too many papers in these days are like too many ministers of the gos pel, waiting for the public opinion to direct them instead of making and di recting public opinion themselves, Our best wishes are for the Herald and its work. We are glad to know of the sewer age system going in at Alliance and of other marks of enterprise being shown which are all for the health and com fort of her citizens. We are also glad to report to you that Mrs. Jeffers health is in excellent condition. It has been several years since she was aB free from her old trouble as now, for which we feel very thankful. The Lord is blessing our work here. July 25, I welcomed to the fellowship of the church, fifteen new members; twelve of the number having come into the church by baptism. 262,11 have been expended in improvements on the church property. Although this is a country parish, I am glad to be located here, if the Lord will use me in build ing up his kingdom of truth. Last week, the three denominational Sunday schools of the place held a un ion picnic at Kayutah Lake, a very SHOES r popular rcBort five miles away. Wish Alliance lint so attractive a place for a day's outing now and then. The cast has ninny attractions to which the west is Btranger, but tho climate of western Nebraska is a big off-set for many eastern advantages. Our interests still cling to Alliance and its people. Wo wish for you all peace, comfort and prosperity. May tho world be better because of tho good people dwelling there. Fulfilled Expectations As previously announced in these columns, San ford Dodge's new comedy company opened the season here in tho Phclan opera house, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings of this week, in "Nero, the Gladiator," and "Othello."

Chadron Jour nal, Aug. 20, No. 42 Sunday morning was about fourteen hours late caused by a derail ment on tho Sheridan division.

A story comes from Chicaco of a shipment of eggs from Missouri which when opened at Chicago, contained fourteen young chickens alive and healthy. As the eggs must have been under a temperature of at least 100 de grees for about three weeks, it is quite a mystery where they had been all the time. We do not know what road they travelled over. Tho North-Western railroad has 4 ordered 125 steel cars for passenger service. This includes chair cars, mail cars, diners and baggage cars. It is only a question of a few years when other roads will be adopting this style of equipment. It is a common thing in reading of a railroad accident to see, "passengers in sleepers uninjured," or "the sleepers did not leave the track," or some such phrase, which goes to show that these cars, which are so much more strongly and heavily built than the ordinary chair car, are safer and when placed in a train with other cars, tend to give the other cars the brunt of the blow in case of an accident. With the fiscal year ending June 30, 1909, the Burlington and Pennsylvania railroads claim they have not had an accident which caused the death of a passenger. While we are not ac quainted with conditions of the eastern road, there are several things which have helped to bring about this on the Burlington. Uniform and not exces sive speed for either freight or passen ger trains, better care of track, a bet ter system of train orders, more safety appliances, and shorter hours for em ployes who are connected with the handling of trains all go toward bring ing about this condition. As long as humanity is liable to errors, mistakes will happen on railroads as elsewhere, but the railroads of today are endeav oring to move their trains so that it man to err to cause a serious accident.
