Jesse Dysart may' thank Providence that he is still in the land of the living instead of being crushed to death by the cars. As he was driving into town last Wednesday the switch train was doing business as usual, and Jesse started to drive across the tracks with out observing the approach of the engine until it was almost on him Then it was by the quickest kind of action that he managed to jerk the horses from the track just as the engine passed and barely missed them. It was indeed a close call, and Jesse will watch 'em carefully hereafter. Emery Bauer arrived home on last Wednesday from Chicago, and is quite certain he got enough of the old town He says he didn't get acquainted with half the people. - L. G. Todd, who was in Lincoln to have his eyes treated by one of the specialists, was home last Sunday and Monday He thinks he may save one eye, but will probably lose the other entirely. Wm. A.

Roddy's horse sale on last Saturday was a very successful one, notwithstanding the fact that some of the animals took sick quite suddenly and three of them died. An examina tion was made by a veterinary surgeon, who expressed the opinion that the horses were poisoned, but how it was done is one of the mysteries still un explained. People of this village and vicinity have to go to Nebraska City or Platts mouth to enjoy a show of any kind, which again reminds us that Union needs a new town hall. Dr. Rose's kidney and liver cure Is guaranteed to cure all kidney and liver troubles or money refunded. Sold Pol by Qerlug & C. Elmwood From the Leader-Echo. ' The Elmwood Telephone company put in five new telephones last week, The company has just spent over $200 in getting repairs and putting the line in first class shape, and is now giving the very best of service. There is also good prospect in view of extending the line into the country five and one half miles north, for the benefit of a large number of the farmers who de sire to put in telephones. John Turnbull had the misfortune to lose the flesh from three fingers of his right hand one day last week. He caught his hand in a corn shredder. Peter Eveland has been carrying one of his eyes in a sling and making frequent visits to the doctor. The blade of a cornstalk blew in his eye piercing the eye ball, rendering that member useless and quite painful for several days. The Standard Oil company, had a delivery or tank wagon here one day last week. They contemplate deliver ing oil to the merchants in the sur rounding towns. ' The headquarters will be at Ashland, from which point it will be distributed We're afraid the supply will run short when the roads get bad. Turner Zink and family moved to Elmwood last Wednesday, into the house vacated by A. Mueller.

A wrecking crew was soon at the scene and a temporary track was built around the wreck to permit trains to pass. While coming to town last Wednes day Jim Murphy met with an accident that he will not soon forget. lie was coming down the steep hill near John Group's farm when a ring in the neck yoke gave away and the buggy ran on to the horses. Charley Gurlach was driving just ahead of Murphy and he says the way that he came down that hill was no trouble to him whatever. On reaching the foot of the hill Murphy turned his team out of the road and in Coingso the buggy was overturned. Jim was still tangled trp in the wreck when Gurlach went back to assist him. Strange to say he came out without a scratch, but the buggy did not fare so well and was considerably delapidated.

The latest of these is that the company intends to build a short stone pier midway between the present center pier and the high pier on the Iowa side, on which will rest the ends of two iron trusses, the other ends of the two trusses resting on the present piers. The railroad track will be laid on top of these trusses, and the west span is to be left as it now Is. This idea comes from a railroad source, but is hardly correct. Railroad work is usually shrouded In mystery, and that appears to be the case at present. DR. H. JENSEN VETERINARIAN The Only Graduate of Veterinary Medicine in Cass County.
