TWENTY SECOND YEAR
Two Ladles In an Ugly Accident
Monday forenoon about ten oclock
on South Molvin street an accident oc
curred in which Mrs Polly Woodruff
and Mrs FS Vahuo were both injured
the former quite severely The ladies
wore on their way to tho Hatfield ranch
In front of Timothy Hannans residence
their horse became frightened at a piece
of ice which fell from tho rear end of an
ice wagrn and shying suddenly and
violently tho ladies were both thrown
out tho buggy overturned and tho thills
broken from the vehicle one of whose
wheels was tightly locked in the scraper
on tho side of tho buggy box Both
ladies were rondered unconscious by tho
fall and wero picked up by those at
hand and removed to the home
o f Mr Hannan and medical assist
ance called Mrs Woodruff was tho
most soverely injured her right arm
being badly fractured and her right
shoulder painfully and severely bruised
besides being advanced in years she
suffered greatly from tho shock Mrs
Vahuo escaped with a badly bruised
right shoulder Soon Mrs Vahuo was
removed to the home of James Hatfield
and later in tho evening Mrs Woodruff
was carried to the home of H C Clapp
Mrs Woodruff was at first thought to
bo seriously injured internally but is
getting on now quite satisfactorily con
sidering the severity of her injuries
Mrs Vahuo will be as well as usual
shortly
Tho accident occurred so suddenly
and unexpectedly that tho ladies know
practically nothing about it
It is a coincidence that Mrs O G
Vahuo and Mrs Woodruff were in
town that morning feto tako No 12 for
their old home in Michigan Not being
aware of the change in time of tho
truins leaving they failed to get away
and wero returning to their homes when
the accident occurred which will indefin
itely delay the trip to Michigan
In order to maintain the traditions of
the family Ray P Vahue had one of
tho tines of a pitchfork accidentally
thrust through one of his feet Tuesday
So far he has experienced no serious
inconvenience or results from the punc
ture and none are expected

Junior Normal Closes Today
CONGRESSMAN nURKETT PLEASED ALL
The Congregational church was crowd
ed Monday night by members of the
Junior Normal School and citizens of
McCook to hear Congressman E J
Burkett of the First district deliver his
lecture on The New Woman and the
Young Man and we feel authorized by
tho indices at tho lecture and ull the
expressions since heard to state that
none went away feeling disappointed
and expressions of enthusiastic approval
aro not lacking
The congressmans style is not con
ventional in any respect Ho is rather
erratic sticking to the text is not one
of his strong points but he sayB some
thing worthwhile every time A man of
strong convictions and practical obser
vations he uses vigorous language to ex
press his views and does not essay beauty
of diction or even have a care as to pre
ciseness in his grammar He has a
regular Uncle Joshvoice and the man
nerisms of an exhorfer who has learned
much in practical politics and campaign
ing Ho is ever forceful and at times
his words come with a rush of a cyclone
an oratorical impetuosity that quite
carries his audience with him
He regards the new woman as the
most serious problem confronting the
young man whom she is giving a lively
leading in all the avenues of commercial
life education the professions etc He
advised the young men that they would
have to hurry and apply themselves if
they hoped to compete with the industry
and sticktoitiveness of the new woman
whose education and fidelity and de-
pondableness have made a way for her
everywhere where the young man form
erly held undisputed sway
He gave as some of the indices of man
hood of the quality he admired and the
world had use for f industry frugality
honesty in fine the doing man the one
who gave tho best account of himself
possible in every situation His ideal
man is robust unfrilled energetic per
sistent a man with a genius for work
It may be stated too that his new
woman is not a gaudy butterfly of
fashion who secures immunity from work
at the expense of her mothers health
and clothes beyond her means and
station at tho price of her fathers im
poverishment a giddy knownothiDg and
donothing She is an educatedcultured
energetic sensible young woman unos
tentatiously performing her part in the
various lines of human activity in edu
cation art business philanthropic and
religious lines etc
The congressmans young man con
templated nothing like the typical dude
inane purposeless a mere manikin of
fashion gnawing the knob of his robust
walking stick and cumbering the earth
but is the personification of well and
persistently and wisely and honestly di
rected effort and energy
Enfin sme of the congressmans
characteristics amused us but most of
his ideas pleased us mightily
A JOYOUS SOCIAL OCCASION
