Electric company had a contest among their various districts to endeavor to have that month a "No Accident Month." This was very successful and Its success has emphasized the fact that by spec ial effort accidents can be minimized. While it is true that accidents to the public are of less frequent oc currence than to employees, they do happen and mostly through -the thoghtlessness of the person who Is injured. Just recently a citizen of one of the towns in which the Nebraska Gas & Electric company operates had a very narrow escape from serious injury and perhaps death. The plant engineer as he came on duty tested the street light circuit to see that it was in good condition, as the day had been windy and stormy. The engineer found that the circuit was open indicating perhaps that a wire had been loosened by the wind. A linesman was immediately called tc locate the trouble and he did in fact find a wire fallen from the pole. The well meaning citizen who had seen this wire at the time that the en gineer was making his test, he would have received a serious shock, per haps with fatal results. This incident, has caused Mr. Hild in charge of safety work for the com pany to issue a warning to all dis tricts to inform the general public as well as the employees as to the hazard of touching any wires. When a wire is down stay away from con tact with the wire and if possible re main until the company is notified and a trouble man arrives. In the meantime see that no one goes near the fallen wire. Regard every wire as being charged which is the only sure way of perventing an accident. Legal blanks of all kinds for sale at the Journal office.

Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 11. The Nebraska delegation came in for its share of convention glory Monday, when it presented the national orga nization with a replica of the Liberty bell and a gavel, and received recog nition on practically every committee appointed by the chair. The Omaha drum corps paraded the streets of Philadelphia and was given a warm reception. Fred Patzell, champion hog-caller, gave his famous yell on the streets of the Quaker town and will appear on the radio program at WOO, the Wanamaker station here, Tuesday night. With the price of hotel rooms near ly tripled, rooms are scarce here. Pros pects for the parade Tuesday are the best in the history of the organiza tion. Many on Committees Paul Leidy, of Omaha, was named a member of the finance committee, and Leo Bozell, of Omaha, was given a berth on the rehabilitation com mittee. Other Nebraskans to land on the various committees were as fol lows: Frank Warner, of Norfolk, mili tary affairs. John Curtis, Lincoln, welfare. Nels Johnson, Valley, time and place. Clint Brome, Omaha, resolutions. R. A. Kirkpatrick, Omaha, veter ans' bureau. C. W. Conklin, O'Neill organiza tion. Lloyd Kane, Gothenburg, internal organization. Harry Ball, Lincoln, legislation. J. R. Bittner, constitutional amend ments. J. E. McHugh, Kearney, aeronaut ical affairs. Elton Shawnka, Schuyler, naval affairs. Past Commander J. R. Kinder made the presentation speech when the Lib erty bell and gavel, purchased thru donations from the Nebraska posts, were presented to the national orga nization. Wagon on Every Corner More law and order prevails here than at Omaha last year. Hundreds of uniformed police are stationed in the downtown districts with a patrol wagon on every corner. All gambling on streets and in the hotels and in lobbies has been stop ped by police. A split in the Nebraska delegation is anticipated if the name of General John J. Pershing is placed before the convention as the next commander. Two of the Nebraska delegation have announced they will not vote for Pershing as commander. COLUMBUS DAY TODAY whiip thpra was little to mark the passing of the day, this was Columbus Hair the ajinivprsarv of the day that Christopher Columbus, the hardy and daring Italian explorer, backed by the gold of Queen Isabella or fopain, nrsi ssiirhtfd land in the West Indies and gave to the world our present abiling place. It would give the great explorer a rpni lar if he could come back from the days of 1492 to the present time when his good ship sailed through the placid waters of the southern sea might be mistaken for one of the rum fleet that has its hang-out in the In dies. The great nation that employed Mm tn nTMn the conmiest of the new world has been one of the greatest em pires of the world and has now sunk to the rank of a second rate European nowpr an d with the royal family of Spain none too securely seated on the throne of their country. me worm whose shores Columbus first sighted has now grown to one of the greatest of world powers and a great array of free republics now fill, the South American continent. It was a great day that of Oc tober 12, 1492 but it has sunk into an ordinary day, altho it is a legal holiday in Nebraska, but this means nothing now as not even the banks in this city were closed today in honor of the event. CANDIDATES LIVENING UP The fast approaching election which will occur on Tuesday, Novem ber 2nd, Just three weeks from today, is causing the condidates to liven up somewhat and get out in the pursuit of the elusive voter with the added vigor that the cold and snappy weather gives. The state candidates have as yet not started in on their visitations in this community or at least in this part of Cass county, but the indications are that the last few days of he campaign will see the heavy artillery of the state campaign trained on Plattsmouth and the sur rounding territory. As it is the cam paigning is being kept lively by tne local candidates who are offering themselves as sacrifices on the altar of the public service.
