Tried For Insanity Sent ToPoorhouse Willintn Dickinson, better known as "English Billie," was brought bofore tho insanity commission Friday after noon at 2:30 to be tried for insanity. His hearing was held and the commis sion decided that his physical condition was such that it was the cause of Jilu seeming demented state of mind, and ordored him sent to tho poorhouse for n timu until it is decided whether or no ho should be sent to tho state hoipital. Mr. Dickson's condition is very grave. Ho has been a hold drinker for u num ber of years find has also been addicted to the Imidnnum habit. Ho was brought to tho county jaii Thursday evening and tho officials there were told to give him a toaspoonful of laudanum three times a day, enough to kill a person not accustomed to tho drug. His wife died about six weeks ago und sin:o that time ha has been staying at the homo of his step Bon, Charles Robinson resid ing north of the city. He has been act ing so strangely that Mr. Robinson feared that he was losing his mind and preferred charges of insanity against him. At'thc hoaring Friday afternoon, Mr. Dickson wira bo weak and nervous that he could Hardly sit still. He kept say ing nil the time that he was going Ho die soon and his breathing came in more gaspB. He is an elderlv man and In very poor physical condition,which is probably tho cause for his mental af fliction. Ho very much rosentod-bemg sent to tho poor house. ! Fire Truck Causes Runaway. The firo department was cnlled out Friday afternoon to tho residence of James Adams, in tho 1300 block on West Sixth street, to put out a (ire in one of tho out buildings. The fire started from hot ashes being thrown again3t the corner of the building, but was put out before nn great damage was done. As the Are truck passed the Platte Valley bank it nearly ran down a buggy driven by n man by tho name of Arnold from tho Maxwell vicinity. Tho horse became frightened and reared and came down over one of the shafta of tho buggy. This frightened it more and it began kicking and plunging and kicked loose from the buggy. It turned the corner by the posloilko and ran north and was caught near the bottling works. The man was unhurt but the buggy torn up quite badly. Local and Personal The lecture of Dr. Hammond Friday evening nt tho Methodist church was well attended and tho peoplo onjoyod a lino lecture of an hour's duration on the subject "How to Got Thero." Dr. Hnmmond spoko from several yeors experienco and drew lessons from the lives of great men and women who have achieved success under perverso circumstances, "There is no excuse for failure unless you are n deaf, dumb, blind.cripplcd idiot, "said Dr. Hammond. This point was illustrated by tho life life of Helen Keller and others who have over ridden difficulties. At the close of tho lecture tho quarterly con ference of tho church wa3 held. Tho mon'B brotherhood of the Luth crun church friot Friday evening for their bible atudy and enjoyed a fine talk on the lifo of tho pvophot Isaiuh by J. E. Sebastian. Forty-throe mom bora woro prm-ut and an interesting meeting wna reported. After tho bible atudy the men took up the quoa tion of tho "vv-ot ntid dry" issue that will come up ut tho spring election and discussed it very widt'ly.

For year's I have been waiting and hoping for some hook or play, or sermon that would make clear the powerful lesson that this picture shows. It is a lessori that means greater success business success, social success, personal success to every man who will take it home to himself and apply it in his daily living. I brought this picture to North Platte because I believe that every man who sees it can reap the benefit, and I want to do my share to iet it before as mony folks as possible. ' ' ' I am not going to spoil your enjoyment, your "thriir and your excitement by telling you here wjmt the story is. 'Wait and enjoy the surprise for yourself. I am simply going to go on record with the statement that it will grip you from the first exposure to the last scene and make you say a hundred times: "Why wasn't this pict ure ever thought of before?" Men have lost untold opportunities; have sacrificed dearest ambitions; have handicapped the hopes of years, purely and solcy through a lack of the knowledge that this picture vividly and dramatically imparts. Men have euchored themselves out of big business gains, have closed the doors to countless success chances, have "defeated themselves, nobonly in business, but in politics, in society YES, EVEN IN LOVE because they never studied and mastered the lesson that this picture makes clear to them. " J- If you want to play the game of success skilfully and victoriously;' it you want to be a dominating factor in life's power circles, "' t Then Dont Fail to See "That Million Dollar Look" at The Pat ' ' ' EDW Chicago M.
