MAKES LAST TRIP
- TO HIS DEATH
Brakeman Is Fatally Injured while
Making Ills Last Run.
COUNCIL 15 LUFFS, Nov. 24
One of the saddest accidents which
ever happened to a man took place
yesterday whrn K. J. Jeff cries, a
Milwaukee brakeman, received injur
ies from which he later died at a
local hospital here.
The freight train the crew of which
Jefleries was a member, stopped at
Manila to switch some cars and in
some manner Jefleries was caught
between two cars and badly crushed.
A special train of an engine and a way
ear was hurriedly made up and the
injured man, accompanied by Dr.
V. R. Draper of Manilla, was rushed
to Council Uluffs. The police ambu
lance was in waiting at the depot
with Dr. Donald Macrae and Jef
feries was hurried to the hospital
but died as he was being placed on
the operating table.
Jeffories home was at Oelwin, la.
He was 20 years of age. In compli
ance with the wishcH of his wife he
had decided to leave railroading
and had sent in his resignation,
intending to enter other business.
STATE DEBT
INCREASING
There will be no issue of the Daily
News tomorrow as the press gang
which is responsible for its appear
ance will spend most of the time
eating turkey and other such things.
This will include the whole force
from the devil down to the editor.
This is where they will spend the day
and how they will spend it:
I,ce Harm's, who holds the position
of Satanic Majesty of the Print Shop
or Custodian of the Hell Hox, will
spend most of the day wishing it
was about a year later when he could
nit down to his own turkey table.
Henry Speck, the auburn-haired
Irishman who wrestles with the com
plicated problems of the form (print
ing form) will hunt the ferocious
rabbit a la Roosevelt, and if he gets
enough of them will live high for a
few days. Otherwise he will eat just
common turkey.
Sir William Sitzinan, who sets
those nice attractive ads on the paper,
will fpend the day like a good fellow
with his family and will eat duck most
of the time.
George Morrison, the good looking
foreman of the ollice, will spend most
of the day at home or somewhere
. else where bis ' presence is always
welcome. He dees not know just at
this time what he will have for dinner.
H. O. Watti rs, who spends most of
his time admiring that nice key board
attached to the new Monotype,
and w ho is rapidly becoming an expert,
will upend most of the day thinking
up some new stunt he can pull off
with the new machine, and conse
quently docs not care whether he
has anything in particular to eat or
not.
A. W. Atwood who does the local
stunt will probably go to church,
eat turkey at home, and incidentally
keep bis eye open for items for the
paper next (lay.
A. Quiim, well, Quinn will spend
Thanksgiving in Kansas City, Lin
coln and Omaha, taking in foot ball
games at all three places. Incident
ally, somebody who is unacquainted
with his capacity for turkey, has in
vited him to take dinner in I'latts
mouth, which he will probablydo.
Quinn can cover lots of ground and
extinguish lots of turkey, so it will
be nothing impossible fur him to fill
in the whole program.
J. K. l.eary, the gentleman who is
installi'.ig the Monotype in the oflice,
and who likes Plattsmouth so well
that he is likely to make his home here
some day will spend his Thanksgiving
Day just as the occasion demands.
Being a long ways from home he is not
exactly wise to the way he will
dedicate the day.
P. A. Harrows, that's the editor,
well, its pretty hard to tell how he
will spend the day. Our wife is away,
and probably when the first gray
itrcaks of the morning sun sheds
its radiant beams over Plattsmouth
we may be taking a cross country hike
in the direction of Lincolm where our
other half is visiting, accompanied
by "Ducky," the office dog.
Anyhow, the public can rest assured
that the force will al .t S tS'.Q
M'lveb iu BUch a manner that the paper
will come out as usual on the next day
after Thanksgiving.
Wishing everybody in Plattsmouth
a Festive Thanksgiving, a Merry
Christinas, a Happy New Year and
an Kxplodious Fourth of July, the
Daily News will now rest.

Much Eitravagance at the
State Institutions.
LINCOLN, Nov. 21. The State
Journal this morning contains the
following:
"The state treasurer was compelled
to udd to the number of registered
state warrants yesterday by the pre
sentation of deferred salary claims
from Peru state normal school amount
ing to $21,800. This swelled the state
debt to $30,720.52. There is no tax
levy to redeem state warrants and
unless the receipts of the state treas
ury arc sufficient the unpaid bills
contracted by the last democratic
legislature must become a state
debt. Whether to refurc to make a
levy of one mill under the Sheldon law
or to run the chance of piling up a state
debt after the debt had been paid off
was one of the problems of the state
board of assessment last summer.
The board decided not to make the
levy. The legislature desired fc
repeal the law permitting a levy,
but refrained from repealing it."

Mr. Fanger,
Plattsmouth, Neb.
Dear Sir:
In Replying Please Refer to
Order Dept.
We haVG VOUr lfittfir of thfi Ifi.Vi in at. TX7nri nmrora Vig mawhofli
shipped to you on the 14th and contents noted.
We regret exceedingly to learn that your health is such that you
hnd it necessary to discontinue business and we hope that within a short time you
will be able to resume and be most successful.
We must say that we have found our business dealings with you
very agreeable and satisfactory and we are indeed sorry that you find it necessary
to discontinue your business.
4, x . ' Now with reference to the garments which you return: We are sure
that it you will look at this matter in the right light you will see that we are doing
only what is fair when we tell you that we cannot accept these garments for credit.
We returned the garmants to you yesterday by express. However,
we find that throuth error we returned to you the two coats No. 3772 which have
been sent to you on memorandum. We wish you would please return these' gar
ments to us at our expense and we will credit them to your account.
However, as you are selling your business entirely, you can
sell these garments right along with your stock. Most of the garments that you
returned, in fact all but one are suits. We are sure you realize that the suit season
for us is over. Were we to put these garments into stock and sell them for you, it
would be necessary for us to sell them at an enormous reduction from the whole
sale price. This would naturally mean a great loss to you.
We are sure that if you will either put these garments on sale or
sell them with your stock, you will realize at least cost or nearly cost on them
that is much more than we could realize for you.
There are only fifty-two suits in question and we are sure that you
would have no trouble at all in disrjosing of them. We assure you that we regret
this instance because we would like to accommodate you, but conditions are such
that we could not possibly do it with any satisfaction to either you or us.
Assuring you of our best wishes for your speedy recovery, we are,
Yours Very Truly,
THE H. BLACK WOOLTEX COMPANY.

The above letter, received by Mr. Fanger from a wholesale house clearly proves each
and every word said in the News with reference to the genuineness of the closing out sate. lie has
bought an immense stock of goods for the fall trade and every day consignments are being received and
placed on sale It proves conclusively that Mr. Fanger means to go out out of business just as soon as he
can do so.
In reading the above letter a thought strikes us. Had a merchant with impaired
credit, returned goods to the wholesale house in the face of a closing out sale the goods would have
been accepted gladly. But in the case of Mr. Fanger, the wholesalers knows well that he is good for any
bill he may contract and for that reason they insist upon him taking all goods for which orders were given
