Tuesday the wind blew a chilli
blast from the northwest, and wo vio

a chilly day for the republicans of
1'laltsrnouth.
The democrats were thoroughly or
ganized and foemcd well -supplied with
the "sinews of war." Those of that
faith not satisfied with tho personnel
of the ticket may have quietly voted
thft other way, but they made no open

publican that had a grievance was out
with a Knife fighting: harder to defoat
the republican object of his wrath than
even tho democrats were.
The result was disorganization and
defeat it could not be otherwiso
where on party lines tho democrats
had at least ono hundred majority.
The total voto cast on tho city
ticket was about 1,015, and tho ma

the largest fraternal lodge in the city.
and the only order of any kind to
start with so large a charter member

-feaiures of other similar fraternal in
snrance societies. Women are per
mitted to join uod nold office on an
equality with the men, the same as in
church oi jrauizttions. It is , com
paratively a new order, but if it grows
all over the state as it has in Kearney
it will roon equal in menbersbip any
of the older orders. The officers
elected were: Dr. M. A. Hoover, W.

MEMORIES.
As a perfume doth romaln
In the folds whero it hath lain,
Ko the thought of you remaining.
Deeply folded In my brain,
Will not loave mc all things leave me
You remain.
Other thoughts may come and go,
Other moment I may know,
That nhall waft me in their going
As a hreath blown to and fro.
Fragrant memories fragrant memories
Come and go.
Only thoughts of you remain
In my heart where they have lain,
Perfume thoughts of you remaining,
A hid sweetness in my brain.
Others leave me all things leave me
You remain. -

SOME PECULIAR ACCIDENTS.
An OcnlWt Tell How the Sight of Several
1'ernoun Wan Ietroyed.
A prominent oculist of this city gives
the following list of queer accidents
that have come under his observation
recently:
' A little boy, 10 years old, was stand
ing in front of a bird fancier's shop
when an aged parrot seemed to take a
sudden animosity to -the child and dart
ed at him, pecking out one eye before
ho could get out of tho way.
Some linemen left a lot of short wire
lying on Euterpe street after repairing
the telephone connections in that dis
trict. An old negro woman who was on
her way to market early the next morn
ing stepped on one end of a bit of this
wire, when the other end flew up. strik
ing her in the eye and blinding her.
A milker employed at one of the
dairy farms near the city was milking
a cow that had got her tail matted and
tangled with cockleburs. In the course
of the milking the cow switched her
tail into the man's face, the mass of
burs striking him in one eye and com
pletely destroying the sight of it.
A lad shooting at sparrows with an
airgun nit nis little brotner in tne eye
and blinded him for life.
Tommy Peats, the handsome, bright
eyed 7-year-old son of a widow, fell
down stairs backward. When his moth
er got to him and picked him up, the
boy was asleep, the shock having affect
ed him in this singular manner, and m
an hour after, when he opened hie eyes,
they were badly and irrevocably crossed,

lepsy during a recent attack fell against

Cuming ann mistering ins eyes so oaaiy
that the sight is gone.
As the Louisville and Nashville pas
senger train was coming into tne ciry
some ruthless person threw a stone at
the day coach, shattering one of the
windows. The particles of glass flew
into the face of a man sitting by tho
window, as many as 40 of them embed
ding themselves in his eyes alone. Most
marvelous to relate, every bit of glass
has been abstracted and the man's eye
sight remains unimpaired. New Or
leans Letter in Philadelphia Times.
What Shall We Call It?
The boys call it a "bike" and are
happy; the dictionary makers call it a
"bicycle"
and rest content, though
heaven knows the philological sin onght
to lie heavily on their literary con
sciences, and we who ride and are hap
py and independent call it a "wheel,"
in spite of the finicky protest of sundry
would be pedants who fill space in the
daily and weekly papers. Pray, why not
"wheel?" Do you know r.f a better
name? Surely not "bicycle," for "bi
cycle, " besides being an awkward word,
does not describe the instrument of de
light we know, as doubtless the origina
tor of tho word fully dreamed it did.
"Bicycle" has an affected, strained
sound that ill accords with the best ele
ments of the language we love, the lan
guage whose strength lies in its hhort,
crisp" words, pulsating with life and
meaning.
It is not unusual to designate a spe
cific thing by a generic term, and we do
no violence to tho laugnage when we
say wo ride a wheel. The term came in
to general use when men did literally
ride upon a wheel, in the days of the
old "ordinaries." before the advent of
safeties." It was awheel they rode,
the second member of the machine trail
ing behind in almost unnoticed insig
nificance. It was then that a thousand
tonirues at onco named tho wheel. This
democratic term of spontaneous birth
has had a tenacious life and will still
live, for it is always the people who
make language, not pedants nor dic
tionary compilers. Womankind.
Ralnbown That Can Change Sex.
In many parts of the world it is the
general belief that the rainbow has the
power to change sex. This queer belief
obtains in such widely separated dis
tricts as South Africa and Norway and
China and Australia. The Zulus have a
long folklore story of the young man
who was changed into a wrinkled old
woman by touching the many hued arch.
The Scandinavian jteasants have a sim
ilar story, and in Greece they say that
anybody who runs against the end of
the rainbow will have his or her sex in
stantly changed. In France and India
to pass under the rainbow has a similar
effect. St. Louis Republic

Walking Was Good.
Geo. Reed, of Weeping Water,
started over here yesterday moring in
a hurry to do some abstract work in
the register of deeds office. He boarded
tho Missouri Pacific train, full of en
ergy and-woaring a roseate smilo that
would bo cheap at three for a dollar.
When he got to Nehawka he thought
Union had been reached, so he got off
to change cars and his train went on.
lie quickly discovered his error, but
the cars were pulling toward St. Louis.
He donned another smile that looked
woe begone and would have been ex
pensive at three for a penny, and with
out ceremony he started out afoot for
Union, where he arrived in time to
catch a freight north, which landed
him here in time to find tho county

got to Union how much relief he

Was It a Fairy Tale ?
A box-car tourist was interviewing ,
Officer John Murray last night and
told him a harrowing tale about how a
tramp had been murdered down
toward the bridge. Murray's heart
was melted with the story, but when
ho thought of his long walk to Ore
apolis recently looking for a corpse,
he suddenly remembered ho had not
lost any dead men and he quickly told
the tourist ho thought the quality of
his whisky had affected his imagina
tion, and he had bettor rest over
night at the Murray hotel and visions
of dead men wouldn't trouble him. If
there was any truth in tho fellow's
story the victim of the assassin is still
at rest down along the river bank
toward the bridge.

Letter From illr. Wilklunon.
To the Editor of The Nbws:
Plattsmouth, Neb., April 9. Dear Sir: I see
the editor of the Journal Jkiens to think that the
reason I did not get more votes than I did on
Tuesday was because 1 was not well enough
known to the voters. Now, Sir, don't you think
that is a mistake ? Don't you think that the real
reason was because I was drafted on to the
ticket f I never looked rpon myself as a candi
date, and 1 am glad that a majority of the voters
did not. I am very well satistied at the way elec
tion went, so far as regards my own case. Yours
truly, T. T. Wilkinson.
Wo believe Mr. Wilkinson is in the
main correct, but tho tight which the
democrats made for councilmen and
the two chief otllcers on the city ticket,
overlooking all else, had, in our opin
ion, most to do with tho result. Ed.
