Smith Injured. )n Friday afternoon last .1. C. Smith, employed in the II. X M. coach shops met with an accident, that hut for the timely assistance of his co-workers, inilit have hcen more serious and prohahly resulted in his death. Mr. .smith was assist iiu' in lunninj; insome trucks, and coming to a place where it was pretty muddy he jumped on the front end. He concluded after tfoin a short distance to jump oil, and in doinso fell with his leji.s across the track. ne wheel had passed over one lejtf when his companions succeeded in pulling him out in time to save further injury. lie was conveyed to Ir. Livingston's oilice, where his injuries were properly cared for. It was thought at tlrst the limb was broken, but fortunately the tlesli was only badly lacerated. Mr. Smith will be laid up for several days, and perhaps is rejoicing that the accident was no worse. An Injustice. William tlillespie, the Mynard irrain man was in the city Saturday. Mr. (illespie says upon the promise of the Uijent at that place that he should have cars at a certain time, he went to work and bought up a lot of oats, and when the time arrived the cai failed to materli.e. There he was with a thousand or two bushels of oats, which he had promised to deliver to parties in Mnaha on a certain date on his hands and no cars for shipemeut. This is an injustice to Mr. (Jillespie. The car famine is all a put up job, and there is no use denying the fact. The railroad can fun,i.h the cars but they don't want to. and there is no way to compel them. It is an outrage on the farmers. They have the uraiu to sell and" many of them are compelled to sell, but the buyers will not buy simply Itccause they can't jjet cars in which toship it. Was there ever such an in justice perpetrated upon mankind? A Cass County Fruit Farrr). The Nehawka fruit tarm. in Cass county, F. M. 1'ollard. manager, is re ported to have shipped from the or chard during thirty-three cars of apples. From lsooo to 2i),HH) bushels were worked Into ciaer and of the "o ) gallons made, there are still on hand about 8,)0 gallons, which will be converted in the spring into vinegar. The apple orchard is the largest in the state, consisting of '200 acres, much of which is not yet bearing. One of the next largest orchards in Nebraska is owneJ by the Crete Nurseries, K. F. .Stephens manager who in one season has urown over 13,000 bushelsof apples from bearinj,' trees. Nebraska Diary-man. Amicably Adjusted. In the issue of tin Journal of Febru ary -J'ith, apM -a red an item pertaining to a breach of prnmisr suit threatened by Mrs. Amelia SbMinan and against Charles Rachel, loth of Iouisville.

When you've sampled the joys of a night with the hoys, and the taste in your mouth isdark brown, when, with out restraint you have scattered the paint, that is crimson all over town, raise your hand in the air, and most solemnly swear, that, your desolate habits you'll doff, that you'll sever the chain that enfetters the brain, have the courage, my boy, to ring olT. If you go in your jaunts to the dangerous haunts, of the "liquor" that's waiting for prey, if your salary Hies like the the clouds in the skies, forever and away, make the vow in good time, not another wee dime, on the green cover ed tabic you'll cough, you are contrib utingfat to the big stiiped cat, and you had bet ter conclude to ring off. If you seek for delight, on the streets after niuht. and are familiar with the hovels of vice, if the glasses you oft clink w it h companions and think you are cut t ing a harvest of ice, take a wise solter view of the future when you may le wallowing deep in the trough of ad versity's slime perhaps tainted with crime, think of that, my dear lmy, and ring oil. If you're seeking for joy that is free from all alloy, for the essence of healthiest fun, you are on the wrong ground, it can only Ik? found "neath moralty's genial sun. Dash to earth the foul thai so poisons the soul at tiie pleadings of "l ight" do not seolT, let the sjmrt of the town go way back and sit down bid them all good-bye and ring off. Mules Going Up. Mules seem to be getting higher every day and that there is a scarcity of good farm mules is a well know n fact. This will naturally increase the value of all kinds of horses and is cer tainly the time to brush up the surplus horse stock and get them ready tosell. Kverything that is able to draw a plow or cultivator will le sought after as soon as farm work begins. Do They Know What They Want? Some time ago the post office depart ment at Washington issued an order that rural mail carriersmust not give out the names of patrons along their routes. Now it has ordered that lists of such patronsle prepared and posted conspicuously at the iKistortice. The latter pnqiosition is much handier for those fellows who annoy- the fanners with proposition circulars. Danger Frorn Colds and Grip. The greatest danger from colds and grip is their resulting in pneumonia If reasonable care is used, however, and Chamberlain's Omgh Remedy taken, all danger will be avoided. Among the tensor thousands who have used this remedy for these diseases wc have yet to learn of a single case having resulted in pneumonia, which shows conclusively that it is a certain pre ventive of that dangerous disease. It will cure a cold or an attack of the grip in less time than any other treat ment. It is pleasant and safe to take, For sale by all druggists. Dr. Frank L. Cummins, dentist Oilice with Dr. E. D.

Last Sunday's World-Herald con tained the following biographical sketch and incidents during the career f Mr. C. D. Connally, late deceased, one of the pioneers of Cass county, who passed away at his home near Murray, on wenuesuay nigni, Fenruary l-.o:;: (J. D. Connally, veteran of the Mexican war. frontiersman, Indian lighter and for tifty years a democratic voter, wlui recently died at Murray was one of tlie strong characters which made the west. His life was full of stirring incidents in the early days. Once he was raided and burned out by Indians in Cass county, and again he was seperated from his brothers, not knowning their wherealmuts for tifty years, only to be united again with them by a strange coincidence after a half century of seperation. From cover to cover the story of this pioneer would make better reading than half the novels descriptive of the west ever written. 'Mr. Connally was born July 2., 182.", near Nashville, Tenn. 1 1 is father was a tanner. When lOyearsold he moved to Illinois, where he lived until he reached the age of 21, where he en listed to serve in the Mexican war under Col. I licks, company A, Second regiment Illinois volunteers. He en listed as a private, but was promoted to orderly sergeant before the close of the war. With his regiment he crossed the (iulf of Mexico and lauded at Vera Cruz. "Soon after returning from the Mexican war he was married to Miss Mary Osborne ( who still survives him, ) and moved to St. Louis. "In 184!), taking tlic gold fever Mr. Connally started for California, but on reaching the beautiful valley of the N ishnabothna, Jowa, he decided logo no farther. lut in 18f." he was lured still further west, crossed the Missouri river at Kock Mutt", Neb., then a thriving town, and purchased the Towner property near by, where he lived until 1S0. He aided in organiz ing a vigilance committee for the sup pression of claim jumping, then very annoying in Cass county. In 1800 he went to Denver with three loads of sugar, accompanied by his son, (Quince, and Sam Johnson, later of the wholesale firm of Steel & Johnson, Omaha. In 18G1 he drove the tirst herd of cattle from the Missouri river to Denver. "In I8)2 he again started for Cali fornia, but on reaching the western boundary of Nebraska lie became snowbound at Marble's ranch. In the spring he purchased the Marble ranch and one at Julesburg, and turned his herds out on the range. In 1803 he returned to Nebraska City and organ ized freighting outfits to operate be tween the Missouri river and the mountains. Those freighting outfits he conducted personally. One of the hardships encountered was a water famine, there being but little water in the Platte river in 1804. The train had driven about 40 hours, the oxen were nearly famished and they were compelled to drive to the bed of the river where they dug for water and succeeded in getting it. "On the morning of January 9, 180, his ranches were raided by tne Sioux and Cheyenne Indians. His building and wagons were burned and his herds driven away. Several soldiers and citizens at Julesburg were killed, James Itomine, well known in Cass county, was with Mr. Connally in this skirmish. Miles Holliday a man in the employ of Mr. Connally, was seriously injured by an arrow through the right shoulder. "15y this raid Mr. Connally was left penniless. He put in a claim to the government for $50,000, the amount offered him by General Coe prior to the destruction of his property, but it was never granted. "This dauntless old veteran of the Mexican war never oelieved in giving up. After working as a day lalxjrer in the west he returned to Cass county, near the present site of Murray, in 1870, and became very wealthy before his death. "Possibly one of the most happy incidents in his life is a bit or 1j is family history. In 1847 he lost all trace of his three brothers. He thought he had left them in Illinois, but couid never receive any word from them. Jn 1901 he heard from a tourist w ho had been over Oregon that in the Grand Koud Valley. Blue mountains, there was a wealthy wheat kiiisr, a millionaire, by the name of Connally. G. !.," as he was familiay known about his home, dropped a letter to Union, Oregon, giving a short sketch of his own life. Bird Connally was seated in his office when his son read the letter to him. He did not even go home to pack a valise, but the fastest train brought him to his brother, a meeting after tifty-four years separation. "He voted the democratic ticket for fiTty-four years, and was one of the true-blue, never faltering partisans. "Mr. Connally leaves a widow and four children, John and Nettie of Murray, and Quince and Charles of Union, Oregon. "He was a brave frontiersman whose undaunted courage helped to make this country what it is, whose honor and integrity was a part of his religion whose blunt motto was: "If I have ever harmed any man let him tell me and I will make it right." Wouldn't Do Some Girls at All. A marriage license was recently is sued in Peoria, Illinois, o an infant Ixiy two years old and a girl 10. This was done with the consent of the par ents of iioth in order to keep the inher itance intact. Since her marriage the wife has her troubles, and has to call in the assistance of her mother-in-law as hubby will not let her sing him to sleep, but insists in crying for mamma in I he old fashioned way. Money would Ije no object to most girls of this age. They prefer a genuine man for a husband, toa baby hubby w ith millions. Too much suspense in waiting, you know. A MOTHER GOOSE PARTY. A Jolly Crowd of Young People Gather at the Home of Hon. R. B. Windham. On Saturday even ing last t he elegant home of Hon. K. B. Windham, on north Sixth street, was the scene of one of jolliest gatherings of young jeople (ljoysand girls) that has assembled in Plattsmouth for lo, these many weeks. The occasion was that of Miss Ellen Windham giving an entertainment in honor of theS. S. S. club, of which she is a memlier. The prominent feature of the program was wherein Mother Goose extensively "figured." In order to make the event a complete success in every particular, the little lady also extended invitations to the members of the '.. '.. Z. club, composed of young gents solely. The requirements were that each one should represent some character in the Mother Goose rhymes, upon arrival each one was presented with cards upon which appeared the names of the members of the clubs. Opposite each name on the card the holders were requested to write the names of each character the person was supposed to represent. This was done to test their knowledge or the characters in the Mot her Goose book. Then each one was called upon to draw a picture of Mother Goose, and right here was where another inter esting feature came in. The exhibit of the picture drawn produced a great deal of merriment. Miss Margaret Mauzy received the prize for the best drawing produced. Soon followed the announcement of refreshments, and the Z. Z. Z.'s select ed their partners from the S. S. S. club of course, and wended fheir way to the dining room, keeping step to music emanating from the piano. The table was most handsomely decorated with original drawings by Miss Ellen, which were converted into boxes tilled with confections. The balance of the even ing was given to games and other amusements, and about 11:30, the hour for departure, all repaired to their homes with feelings of gratitude to Miss Ellen for their splendid evening's entertainment; also to Miss Hermia, who assisted very materially in making it a most joyous occasion. The members of the S. S. S. club present were Misses lone, Helen and Margaret Dovey, Gretcheji Donnelly, Margaret Mauzy, Stantleld Jones, Em ma Falter. Of the Z. Z. Z. club pres ent were Jimmie Patterson, Vallery White, Fred Waugh, George Falter, Willie Hassler, Millard Klein, Roy McKinney, Cyrus Tyson and Kirk Bates. Misses Margie Agnewand Juliet At wood, both of Lincoln, and members of the S. S. S. club, sent regrets. Miss Helen McLennan, of Lincoln; Robert Windham, who was home from Lincoln for a short visit, were present. Also, Jack and Miss Dora Patterson, cousins of Miss Ella, were present. Miss Bes sie Tyson and Wade Windham, who were also home on a short visit, had charge of the dining room, and played their parts well. COLONIZATION OF THE SOUTHWEST Aid and Inducement Offered by the Missouri Pacific Railway. The Missouri Pacific Railway is bending every effort towards develop ing the agricultural, mineral and in dustrial resources of the west and southwest. To attain this end, it asks the aid and co-operation of every farmer, miner, merchant and pro fessional man along its lines. The developement of the products of any section of the country means just so much more capital to be spent in that section. Prosperous neigh bors make a prosperous community, especially if they have their interests at home. It is this class of persons that the Missouri racifie Railway asks the patrons along its lines to invite to their sections. You furnish the names and ad dresses and we will furnish the nec- cessary descriptive ana uiusiraiea literature to induce them to settle in your community. We wish to colonize the west and southwest, and offer every inducement in the way of excellent transportation facilities nnd low rates to all pros pective settlers and homeseekers. II. C.
