His Arm Broken.
Our friend, Joe Zimmerer, is carry
in? his arm in a sling, all on account of
endeavering to be an athelete. Last
Thursday morning a number of the
boys made up their mind to go out and
try to "snake-in" a few hundred pounds
of fish, and just as the vehicle got in
front of his home, Joe thought of some
fishing tackle that he was about to leave
behind, and in jumping from the wagon
he lit on the right arm in such a man
ner as to break the same at the wrist,
both bones being broken. Dr. Brendel
reduced the fracture, and while the
same has been somewhat painful, Joe is
getting along as well as could be ex
pected. The boys say Joe failed to de
liver as many fish to his friends as he
promised. But he hopes to try fishing
again before the season closes. Joe is
a good fellow and his friends regret his
misfortune.
Settle Dispute Ala Nelson.
A couple of our citizens got into a
rangle last Friday and attempted to
settle the matter ala Nelson and Gans.
While one was somewhat older and
heavier in weight than the other, it
seems that weight was of no effect in
this contest. The young man seemed
to swift for his opponent and after a
couple of knock-downs the young man
took to his heels, followed by the older
with a large board about as much as he
could conveniently carry, and after he
had followed the retreating for a few
yards, he then threw the plank down.
The boys talk now of putting these
parties on the road bidding all contest
ants for the championship to come to
Avoca.

The Kelp of Nature.
Many cases of sickness require no
medicine. Nature alone cures them.
In fact nature is always a great factor,
the physicans merely assisting, in order
to make the recovery swifter and to
alleviate pain, or to stimulate the organs
to obey the laws of nature. In painful
and waisting diseases of the organs of
digestion the patient cannot wait. He
needs a good medicine, the sooner, the
better. The best, he can find, is Triner's
American Elixir of Bitter Wine. It
stimulates all organs that are employed
in the digestion of food, and strengthens
them. The mechanism of the body
will be returned to its regular working
order and nature will keep it so. As
soon as your appetite will not be usual;
or you will notice that you do not fetl
well, you must assist nature by using
Trainer's American Elixir of Bitter
Wine and nature will help you. It will
give you pure blood, strong nerves and
perfect digestion. At drug stores

ZEPPELIN'S GREAT FLIGHT
STARTS MONSTER AIRSHIP
ON
24-HOUR JOURNEY.
Sails Swiftly to Mayence, with
One
Stop for Repairs, and Turns
Homeward.
Friedrichshafen, Aug. 5. Arising
from its floating dock on the dark
green waters of Lake Constance early
Tuesday morning, the great dirigible
airship of Count Zeppelin was sent
away for a 24-hour journey in the air
to Mayence and return. Late at night
the apex of the triangular flight had
been turned and the monster of the
air, with nose pointed southward, was
reported speeding along under starry
skies toward Friedrichshafen, where
it was hoped the journey would end
Wednesday.
The flight to Mayence, however, was
not an uninterrupted one, for some
thing went wrong with a propeller
while speeding along above the valley
of the Rhine and Count Zeppelin was
compelled to bring the airship down
to the surface of the river at Nacken
heim, eight miles from Mayence,
where repairs were effected. The
dirigible again was sent oh high and
the trip that probably will prove a
record one was recommenced.
The weather for the ascension was
most auspicious. The ship of the air
rose majestically to a height of 400
feet and crossing the lak- circled the
town of Constance, then turning, re
traced the path of its flight and, de
scribing a perfect circle, passed over
Friedrichshafen and then soared west
ward over the lake to Basle, on the
Swiss frontier. Turning the vessel
slightly toward the northwest. Count
Zeppelin steered it over Mulhausen
and then directed its flight northwest
erly to Strassburg, thence following
the valley of the Rhine northward, to
Mayence, a distance altogether of over

Meeting With Favor.
A. Claybaugh who has been circulat
ing the subscription list among the
merchants to secure street lights for
Main street, reports meeting with much
success and believes that eventually
enough will be taken in to insure the
putting in up the lights. He estimates
that it will cost close to four hundred
dollar to even fit to the lamps and get
them in place so that for one year at
least the Company can not hope to
make anything on the deal. He states
that a number of the business men ob
ject to furnishing the lights believing
it the duty of the city to do so, and he
intends should the subscription not pan
out, to take the matter up with the
Mayor and council to see if the defici
ency, should there be one, is guaranteed
by the city. No matter how the light
is obtained it should be put in as the
streets at present are entirely too dark.
Try for a Special.
John M. Leyda has taken up with the
Missouri Pacific Railway, the matter of
securing a special train from this city
to Lincoln and return, on Aug. 12, the
day of the Bryan notification. He
thinks that there would be a good crowd
go on the train which would get out of
here about 7 a. m. and return from
Lincoln leaving there about 8 p. m.
after the ceremonies were over. He
today took the matter up with Agent
Norton and expects to have an answer
sometime during the day.
The Journal cordially second3 this
move of Mr. Leyda as there have been
numerous inquiries from the country as
to what was to done in the way of train
service. It is to be hoped the matter
can be looked at in the right light by
the Railway Company and some ar
rangement made in line with Mr.
Lejda's suggestions. There will be a
special train from Nebraska City to
Lincoln and return and there ought to
be no trouble in making up a train to
run from Union here to connect with it.
Bene Broken by Tenpin.
Charley Truman, the proprietor of the
bowling alley and pool hall on Main
street, between Third and Fourth, yes
terday afternoon had a bone in his left
foot fractured by a . peculiar accident.
He was setting up the tenpins on the
alley for a game participated in by three
strangers, and had just finished arrang
ing the pins and stepped to one side,
when one of them bowled the ball down
the alley, striking the pins and causing
one of them to fly from the alley, catch
ing his foot just below the ankle.
The bone was not badly fractured, but
still it will keep him from attending to
his business for several days to come.
He did not summon medical attention
as he did not consider the hurt as bad
enough to warrant it, but dressed the
foot himself. WThile painful the wound
will doubtless not be serious as the
bone will soon knit together again. It
is safe to say that hereafter Charley
will keep a safe distance from the pins
tho.
Charley Martin, the barber, has been
having a great deal of difficulty this
summer in trying to raise a crop of
sweet corn. Everytime he gets the
crop in shape to commence his harvest,
some strange and abnormal animal us
ually a cow comes along and devours
the crop. He is getting some irritated
over having to raise from his downy
couch at some strange and unearthly
hour and dash out into the ambient at
mosphere with a club U- shoo the dis
turber away. He threatens to have
the majesty of the law invoked unless
some of these cows are penned up. If
the cow belongs to you beware.

Will Get After Rates
Mayor Gering today is in n et it of a
letter from Mayor Brown of Lincoln,
stating that he will take up his sugges
tion of making an effort to secure re
duced rates from this city to Lincoln
for the Bryan notification meeting on
the 12th. It is proposed to have the
Commercial club of Lincoln get after
the railroads and try and secure the
rate of two cents per mile by the short
line to apply on all trains between this
city and Lincoln regardless of wheth
er the trains run through Omaha. It
is thought this would insure a much
larger attendance than if .he full rate
of $1.52 is charged. It would amount to
the saving of 81 cents on the round trip
fare. It is to be hoped the mayor's effort
will prove successful anil the lower
rate obtained.

W. B. Banning of Union, ex-county
commissioner, has tiled as candidate on

That was in the days when Jacob Fal

that the county is better off now than
