In his petition he alleges that be was employed as fireman on an en gine on the date above mentioned In Dawes county, Nebraska, and that when on the outskirts of the village of Crawford a collision occured between the engine he was on and a large num ber of box cars owned by said com pany. That while attemplng to get off said engine he was partly thrown off and partly fell off sustaining in juries that has made him a cripple and that he ever will be sick, lame and diseased. That said collision was caused by the negligence of the railroad company and its employees. He says that the steam valves upon the engtne were in such condition that a large amount of steam was al lowed to escape and that it was im possible to see any objects ahead of said engine. After said injuries he was waited upon by representatives of said company and informed that the Injuries were not permanent and that if he did not bring suit against the company they would provide him with benefits during his enforced absence from work and when it was fully de termined as to the extent of his in ' Junes they would settle with him, and that if a satisfactory settlement could not be affected he could then bring suit and that they would not raise as a defense that the statute of limitation ran against the suit, ne further alleges that he was not aware of the permanency of his Injuries until this spring and that when he asked for settlement the company replied that the injuries were received so long ago that the.statute of limita tion ran against it and tl)ey could do nothing for him, so he brings suit for the above amount, with costs of suit.

When in the bloom of young manhood, nearly thirty-six years ago, he came to this county and settled in what was at that time the wilderness, ten miles northwest of this city, he was a comparatively poor man and like all the other old timers of this section endured many hardships and privations. But he stuck to it arid by close attention to his own affairs acquired a comfortable fortune and during the past ten years had been abl^ to take life easy, enjoying the fruits of his Industry and thrift.

The World's Series. A large crowd of lovers of the national game have congregated at Jack Sullivan’s popular hostelry on lower Fourth street the past three days to w Itness the returns received from the great championship baseball games now on between New York of the National league, and Philadelphia of the American league. While wait ing for the returns between innings the admirers of both sides discussed the many points of advantage posses sed by their favorites and in many Instances backed their judgment on the ability of their favorite team with good coin of the realm. The game Tuesday afternoon, being the first of the series, was looked upon as an Indication of how the battle for the flag would terminate and the re turns from the national league park were eagerly looked for. The loca1 fans supporting Philadelphia seems to be largely In the majority and when In the third Inning New York pushed the first score across the pan their was loud rejoicing in the ranks of the followers of the Giants. But their joy was short lived, as in the very next Inning, the fourth, the Phila delphia sluggers jumped upon Mar quared for hits enougli to score three runs. They blanked New York in their half of the same Inning and in the very next inning they sinched the game by adding two more scores and drove one of New York’s Ipet pitchers to the kennell. This brought the joy of the Philadelphia fans to the shout ing point and the followers <f the Giants could only say: Wait until to morrow, we will even up. The final score was (1 to 4 for Philadelphia. Bender pitched the entire game for Philadelphia while Marquared, Cran dall and Tesereau were in the box for New York. lilts: New York 11; Philadelphia 10. Errors, New York 1; Philadelphia 1. Montana Jack's place was crowded Wednesday afternoon to witness the receipt of the returns from Philadel phia on the second game of tire great contest. It was generally recognized that Mathewsou, the peer of the New York twirling staff, would be upon the mound for the Giants, and that great left handed twirler of the Phil lies, Plank, the veteran star and heroe of former world’s series, woulcl be his opponent and a great contest was looked for and the people were not disapointed. New York won in the tenth inning with a score of 3 to 0. For nine innings neither side were able to score and it was evident by the returns that one of the greatest pitching contests of all time, between two veterans of the game, was in pro gress at Philadelphia, and the receipt of the news of the victory was cherred by the crowd, the Phlllie tans joining the New Xork boosters In paying tribute to the great master of the diamond, Mathewson. Hits: New York 7; Phlladelpha 8. Errors, New York 2; Pnlladelphia 2. The game this (Thursday) afternoon was a walk-away for Philadelphia as they won with a score of 8 to 2. Bush, one of Philadelphia’s you ng pitchers, went into the box and pitched a splendid game, holding New York to five hits, while his team mates were gathering twelve hits off tire New York twiriers, driving Tesreau, one of the best twiriers on the New York staff, to the bench in the seventh, Crandall finishing the game Eacli team had one error charged to them. Three of the best stickers upon the New York team, Merkle, Myers and Snodgrass, are out of the game on ac count of injuries and it now appears as if Philadelphia had the better of the argument in tin; contest for the honors and the large end of the purse that goes with the title. A Protest. Joy, Nebr., Aug. 6, 1913, Editor Frontier:. I read in the In dependent of Oct. 3rd, a notice entitl ed “Holt county Corn Contest,” offer ing beer and whiskey as prizes from It. J. Marsh. In another column the attention of the people was called to the fact and said these priz»s were good things. If the editor of that paper calls these prizes good things, 1 want to tell him there is one wife and mother who cannot agree with him These prizes are to be awarded on Thanksgiving day. Now I should like to know where, in this land of the free and home of the brave, you can lind a mother, wife, daughter or sister who can sit quietly down, on Thanks giving day, and thank God that her son, husband, father or brother, has been fortunate in winning ode of these prizes. Fathers, brothers ann husbands I appeal to you? Stop and think of that wife and mother who has patlenly toiled for you and your little ones. Think of that fair young daughter, would you like to have her choose as a companion for life a young man that frequents this sample room? Think of that son of yours, would you like to have him enter this sample room on Thanks giving day, pure and innocent, and receive one of thijse prizes? God forbid. I think it should be tne pray er of every christaln person, and es pecially (those who have young men In their families) that Mr. Marsh utterly falls.

Avoid Sedative Cough Medicines. If you want to contribute directly to the occurrencs of capillary bron chitis and pneumonia use chough medicines that contain codine, mor phine, heroin and other sedatives when you have a cough or cold. An expectorant like Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is what is needed. That cleans out the culture beds or breed places for the germs of pneumonia and other germ tfiseases. That is why pneumonia never results from a cold when Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy Is used. It has a world wide reputation for its cures. It contains no morphine or other sedative.
