Two automobiles ran togethor Sun
day evening at abouteeven o'clock at
the corner of Fifth anilvDowey streets.
The cafs belong lb Chnrlcs McLaln
and Frank Harbor. Uoth card were
running slowly and for this reason
no one was hurt In either car al
though both cars were battered up
some. Mrs. M. F. Hostler, who was
riding In the Harbor car was thrown
out, but was not hurt other than be
Ing shaken up and bruised a little.
The McLaln car was coming up
Fifth street from the east and the
Barber car was coming down Dewey.
Neither driver saw the other until
they were nearly together. Mr. Dur
ber started his car faster to get' In the
clear and Mr. McLaln used his emer
gency brakes, but the latter car bare
ly caught the rear of the other.
While this accident was probably
not due to cnrclessness, there aro
many cars In the city at the present
time that tho tralllc rules should be
observed more closely and should be
more rigidly enforced. A short time
later In tho evening two cars had a
race down Dewey street from the de
pot as far south as they could bo seen.
It was growing dusk and they were
running without lights and the num
bers could not be seen. Several peo
ple barely escaped being run down.
Officer Frelberfg saw them and at
tempted to stop them, but they paid
him no heed and they nearly ran over
the olllcer.

Since the Installation of the water
meters in the residences aNblg saving
has boon seen In the pumping of the
City water. And this has been noticed
for the month of July which ha$ been
an exceedingly dry month and a large
amount of water has been used for
Irrigation purposes, both on the lawns
and on small truck patches. For the
ono month Commissioner Welch re
ports a saving of over seven million
gnllons of water which means a sav
ing on coal. A saving of fifteen tons
of coal for the month Is reported, or
practically a saving of Bixty dollars
running expenses for the entire month
as compared with a year ago.
For tho first half of the year, from
January 1st to July 1st, there was an
actual saving of over seventy-two mil
lion gnllons of water and of about one
hundred tons of coal. This in com
parison with last year shows a saving
nlready of al arge amount by the in
stallation of the meters. The item of
$400 saving on coal, besides the ejqtra
wear and tear on the pumping machin
ery, would pay for several meters as
well as paying the Installation ex
pense. This in comparison with last
year shows a saving of about sixteen
per cent on water and of twelve and
one-half per cent on coal.
A Dry and Hot .Month.
From the monthly summary fur
nished by Observer Shilling, of the lo
cal weather bureau, it is learned that
last month, with three exceptions,
was the driest July in forty years.
The precipitation last month was but
fifth-eight one hundredths or nn men,
while the average for July for forty
years has been 2.6S inches. In July
last year the percipitation was 3.37
inches, and In July 1912. it was 4.0l
Inches. The three years In which the
July precipitation was less than last
month wero 1910, 1901 and 1890. Had
Lincoln county received the average
July rainfall of 2.CS inches, the corn
crop would have been the greatest
in its history.

Republican Candidate for Second
Term on the Railway Commission
In November, 1911, I was elected a
member of the Nebraska State Rail
way Commission to fill a vacancy
caused by the death of Mr. Cowgill. I
am now a candidate for a full term.
As tho pressuro of official duties is
so great that It will bo impossible for
mo to make a personal 'campaign,!' 1
am taking this method of calling at
tention to my candidacy.
I was born and reared on a farm
In Richardson county, Nebraska, ahd
have lived 4S years In tho state; my
father died when I was about 10 years
old and from that time until I enter
ed tho University of Nebraska, I Was
In charge of tho farm. I graduated
from tho University In 1S90 and Im
mediately entered tho employ of the
Lancaster County Bank of Lincoln.
1 was afterwards made assistant
cashier of tho First National Bank of
Auburn and president of the Verdon
State Bntik, which position I held for
five years. Meanwhile I read law nnd
graduated from the law department
or tno university m 1896. I practiced
law in Falls City seven yenrs, pur
chased tho homo farm at Verdon and
havo been a successful farmer and
stock grower. From 1909, until I be
camo'a mombor of the Commission, I
wns engaged In tho practlco of law In
Lincoln.
For tho past threo years I have giv
en my full timo nnd best oi'forts to my
otllcial duties. I havo been n tireless
worker, serving tho peoplo of the
state, ns I believe, with fidelity. I
havo had the courage to challenge
privilege by demanding that stocks,
bonds, notes and othor. evidences of
Indebtedness of public service corpor
ations should be limited to tho ap
proximate value of the properties up
ou which such securities aro Issued,
thereby preventing over-cnpltalija-tlon.
or so-called stock wat Ming,
kr-owiug that it is impossible for the
Commission to make Just rates that
the people must pay to public service
corporations unleas the financing of
such corporations are reduced to an
honest basis.
1 bellovo that my education, train
ing, general oxporlenco, and experi
ence In oillco make me particularly
fitted for ro-electlon.
It is hard for you to make an in
vestigation of my services, but if you
believe that .1 have been an holiest
and elllolent ofllcer I ask your hearty
support.
Your very truly,
lAdv.) THOMAS L. HALL.

George W,. Weinberger, 109 west

"Some years ago I became afflicted
with kidney trouble and suffered from
agonizing pains through my back. I
gradually grew worse, became, stiff
and lame and on account of losing
my rest at night, was all run down.
My kidneys did not do their work
properly. Learning of Doan's Kidney
Pills, I procured a' them from McDon
ell & Graves' drug store, (now Schil
ler & Co.'s drug store). After I had
taken six boxes, I was cured. Prior
to using Doan's Kidney Pills, I had to
lay off from work for several months,
but after taking this remedy only one
month, I was able to go back to work."

A Matter of Judgment
Deacon Jones' goat was king of Jonesvillc until the railroad
came. He had butted everything into immediate flight, from the
yellow dog to the tax collector. The day the first express came
tearing in at thirty miles an hour, the goat met the engine "half
way.'' As the deacon stood'thoughtfully amid a "shower of goat
remnants" a friend said: "Well, deacon, what do you think of your
goat now? "Oh" said the deacon, "I admire his courage but
damn his judgment."
