Some of the councilmen seem to fa
vor the plan of adding the benevo
lences to the regular budget, and
then pay our part of tho synodical
oenevolence quota directly fiom the
Ciiurch treasury. This plan has some
good features to it, and it is practic
ed by a number of tho churches of

Omaha Daily Bee, 14: U. C. Bri
denhaugh, 50, retired banker of Cole
ridge, Neb., leaped to his death yes
terday afternoon from tho Douglas
Street bridge into tho Missouri river.
Mr. Bridenbaugh, who hud been con
fined at the St. Bernard's hospital in
Council Bluffs for tho past two
months, is thought to have .suffered a
relapso and escaped from his nurse,
Miss Nancy Fogg. The nurse and
Oscar Fleming, a hospital attendant,
had taken Mr. Bridenbaugh and an
other patient to an Omaha theater.
Tho body of the buicido victim lias
not been recovered. How the man
escaped from Ills nurse has not been
learned. Authorities at St. Ber
nard's hospital had not learned of Mr.
Bridenbaugh's death until Omaha de
tectives informed them. Identifica
tion of the victim was made through
a letter addressed to Dr. Frank T.
Seybert found in a coat left on tho
railing of the bridge by tho suicide
victim before ho climbed to a water
barrel and took tho fatal leap. Mrs,
h. L. McGuire, 1700 Fourth avenuo,
and Mrs. W. E. Murphy, 2100 Avenuo
A, both of Council Blulls, saw tho
man leap from the bridge as they
were crossing in an automobile. Mrs.
McGuire screamed. Tho man turned
his head, shouted, "I am going!" und
Allen, tollman, 2921 Avenue B, Coun
cil Bluffs, saw tho man climb to the
railing, but too lato to prevent him
from taking the leap, he said. Mr.
Bridenbaugh had recovered sufficient
ly to be released from St. Bernards
hospital, Council Bluffs, within two
more weeks, Dr. Frank T. Seybert of
Council Bluffs, who had been attend
ing tho aged man, told Detectivse
Trnpp and Wnvrin. Overwork caus
ed his demented condition, Dr. Sey
bert said. His widow and three
children survive him, all living at
Coleridge, Neb.
Ton n IteloiiKs to Count r
The country town is a port of the
country. It is one of the encour
aging signs of tho times that coun
try town business men are coming to
realize this. It has not been so long
ago that every littlo town thought
that its business was to grow into a
city just as soon as possible. Some
towns and many town people still
think so. Many small town people,
too, still think that their chief rela
tions and interests are with the cit
ies rather than the country. Tho
inott farseemg business men have
come to know better. They me see
ing more and more cleorly that tho
town, the binall city, is an integral
part of Lho country, that it prospers
only as the country prospers, and tho
it lias its place in the scheme of
things n be the life center oi tl o
country about it. The town merchant
who oppose co-operative buying o
selling by the farmers of his tviri
tory, tho town banker who would
hinder the establishment of farm
loan associations in his county, tho
town editor who neglects tho inter
ests of the back-country districts,
coming to see that they are out of
date. Best jjl all, town folks are
coming to ese that they tiro out of
date. Not until the country and
tho country town learn that they
arc yoke fellows and must pull to
gether can either moko tho progress
it should. And both are learning.
