more Big Ben
alarms in a week than I .
sell dollar clocks in a
month and I can sell them
with positive knowledge
that they'll live up to
all claims that I make
for them.
There's a reeling of bigness
and strength about them, a pe
culiar glow of brightness and
cheer, that is strangely novel
about an alarm clock.
And their work doesn't end
with die morning call; they're
good, reliable timekeepers for
all day use and they're good
looking enough for any sur
roundings. $2.50

CAH TUItNS OVER,
TWO MEN INJURED
Auto Drhcn by Arthur Honglnml
Strikes llrldgo Rnll and Throws Out
Fhc Occupnnlg.
Arthur Hoagland had a bono in his
loft shoulder broken, Carl Grouchcr,
of Omaha, sustained a badly sprained
leg, and Will Yost, E. J. Dworak nnd
A. F. Barr, tho two latter of David City
were moro or les3 stunned Tuesday
night when tho Klssell car driven by
Mr. Hongland struck the railing on tho
bridge a short distanco west of tho
city cemetery and turned over on its
side. The five men had been out on a
hunting trip and were returning homo
after dark and during a heavy fog. Tho
Hoagland car was following Dick
Baker's car and the two were running
twenty or more miles an hour. Tho
bridgo is across an irrigation ditch,
is built on a revcrso curve, and is con
sidered one of tho most dangerous in
this section of tho country, especially
to those not acquainted wltht ho road.
Hoagland made the turn and entered
the approach, but the front wheel
struck tho railing on tho further end
and the car turned on its left side as
it cleared the bridge. Hoagland was
pinned under tho steering wheel, and
Groucher, who was also on the front
seat, was under him, while Yost was
tossed in tho air a distance of thirty
feet, and Barr and Dworak a shorter
distance. Yost's fall was broken by
landing in a dense growth of sunflow
ers and weeds. Hoagland and Orouch
er wero released by tho other men,
and tho latter, who scmed to oo suf
fering the most, was brought to town
by Dick Baker who, hearing tho crash,
had returned to the bridgo. For the
time Hoagland did not think much of
his injury, but when he attempted to
help tho others turn tho car over on
the wheels he found his shoulder in
bad shape. Tho car was brought in on
its own power, tho damage consisting
of shattered mud guard, broken run
ning board, and tho side ' somewhat
sto'ved in at the front seat.
Tho occupants of tho car can con
sider themselves lucky that they es
caped more serious injury.
Diarrhoea Quickly Cured.
"My attention was first called to
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Di
arrhoea Remedy as much as twelve
years ago. At that time I was serious
ly Rl with summer complaint. One
dose of this remedy checked the trou
ble;'' writes Mrs. C. W. Florence, Rock
flold, Ind. For sale by all dealers.
Burlington Halts Work In Wjoiiiiiig.
The Lincoln Journal is authority
for the statement that the Burlington
road will soon lay off the force of men
working on the new line between
Guernsey and Hartvillo in Wyoming.
This necessarily means a further de
lay in the construction of tho Burling
ton's lino from Kearney to Bridgeport,
for which North Platte has been so
anxiously awaiting for several years.
It is positively known that nbthlng
will bo done toward building tho Platte
valley line until the tunnels and the
stretch of road between Guernsey and
Hartville Junction is completed. How
eyer, we are a patient people.
t
i' Iin estimation Needed.
Down In Kearney when a stranger
solicits aid he or she is sent to tho
secretary of tho Commercial Club who
questions the party and ascertains
whether deserving of aid. If so, a card
is given stating that donations are de
served. In this way the citizens escape
giving aid to undeserving people, and
those who are deserving are helped.
Tho plan might be used in Nortl
Platte with profit, as it has recently
developed that people who were" pro
fessional mendicants succeeded in get
ting considerable money from our
people.

given," writes J. H. Houghland, Eldon,
