There was a small freight wreck
on the M. P. south of Murray on Wed
nesday mornim.r of this week, that

were derailed, but no one was injured
and no serious damage was done.
Another very slij-ht auto accident
occurred just east of Murrav last
Sunday evening, when M. G. Church

and broke his shatfs. Xo oilier dam

will lie much pleased when the vehicle
divers put on head and tail lijrhts, the
same as the auto.

past few weeks, returned home this

H. G. Todd and a number of other
farmers in this locality are compiain
injr of the Hessian fly doinir no small
d.tma're to their wheat crop. Some
ol the farmers seem to be of the opin
ion that there will be no damajre done
at tins time, while others take the
opposite side of the question and con
tend that a jrreat damajre has already
been done to the wheat crop, but has
not shown up yet, and others are
claimin.tr that the injury is already
very noticeable. U e are informed
that Jarnes DelesDernier has one piece
of wheat that will not be worth the
cuttimr.
From Wednesday's Dally.
Our neijrhborinjr town of Murray,
which has in the past been the scene
of several burjrlaries, was last nijrht
ajrain visited by the nijrht plunderers
and the Farmer' elevator office
broken into and the safe robbed of
somethinjr like $25 in money. As far
as could be learned here the party or
parties made their entrance by forc
injr a window of the elevator and
made a successful operation on the
tafe, pe-ttii.fr away with the money
that had been left there over night
by J. W. Edmunds, who had charge
of the elevator liurinjr Manajrer Par
rows absence for the day. This
elevator is located near the tracks and
it is thought that the work was prob
ably the result of the visit of some
men passing through, who made their
jre-taway before the robbery was dis
covered by Mr. Harrows this morning.
After securing entrance to the
elevator office the burglars proceeded
to ransack things in a very systematic
manner and successfully worked the
combination on the outer door of the
safe and secured entrance, and then
proceeded to pry open the cash drawer
of the safe and removed the cash,
estimated at between $22 and $2-".
The fountain pen of Manager Barrows
was also taken from his desk, as well
as a large monkey-wrench which was
in the office, and these articles, as well
as the ca.-h is all that has been found
missing so far. Valuable papers md
a large number of checks in the cash,
drawer were left undisturbed by the
visitors and they departed, leaving no
clue as to whom they were.
Th:? elevator of the Jones company,
a short distance away, was also enter
ed. I tit the amount secured there could
not be learned. Entrance there was
secured in practically the same man
i.er as that of the Farmers' elevator.
The closeness of the elevators to the
tracks of the Missouri Pacific railway
made the work of getting away easy
and it is thought that the night in
vaders boarded a passing freight train
to make their getaway from the scene
of their successful haul.
THE ALAM

Electric Farm
Light
Plant!
Th Al,
Klmctrle
rarm Light
. mm
Aim
Here's light for your home, farm buildings and yard. Here's
power for your electric carpet sweeper, sewing machine, churn
and fan; heat for your eleetric iron and toaster.
PRICE IS LOW!
You'll be surprised when we tell you how low is ihe price of
the complete plant. If you have your own engine it is even
less.
The cost of operation is moderate. The plant is easily in
stalled. Ready for operation when taken out of the crate. The
Alamo is the ideal farm light plant simplest, safest and best
takes up but little space.
Since the perfection of the tungsten lamp, which requires
only one-third the electricity to produce the same light as the
old carbon lamp, large storage batteries are not necessary.
Thereby the cost of a light plant is so reduced that it is within
the means of the average farmer.
The ideal plant for the farm is the Alama Eleetric Farm
Light Plant. We were the first to introduce the small light plant
into the country homes, and our present improved product is the
result of eight years of successful manufacture. The plant is the
simplest, safest and best, and it takes up but little space. Every
farmer should have one, not only to light his building, but to
furnish power for his wife's churning, sewing, etc.
The price of the standard plant is $253.00, so you see it is an
attractive proposition for the farmer. If you do not already have,
an engine of 2 H. P. or more, we can furnish it for you for $40.00
additional.
Fishing Party.
There was quite a large crowd of
Murray people that want down to the
mouth of the Weeping Water along
the Missouri river Tuesday to spend
the day in an outing and fishing trip.
We are willing to wager the cash
price of the fish that they caught that
thev had a good time, but we will
permit our readers to seek another
source for evidence of the quantity of
fish that they caught. Those in the
party were: Dr. and Mrs. Brendel,
Mr. and Mrs. (.). A. Davis, Mr. and
Mrs. S. O. Pitman, Mr. and Mrs. I. M
Davis, Miss Carlson, of Omaha, Mr
and Mrs Jeff Prendel, Miss Leona

There never was a season so favor
able for building and making im
provemcnts around your farm home

around the Murray lumber yard is an
evidence of this fact. More of all
grades of lumber is being sold this

demand for good goods and the fact
that it can always be found at this
lumber yard at the right prices are
the causes for the increased business
Mr. Kikendall is after the lumber
business of this locality, not only from
ihe fact that it is due him, but be
cause he is ready and willing to meet
all competition on the numerous
grades of lumber.
