lier than a blind goose. The sensible

your name, your location, your busi

thoroughly into the people's beads
that if they walked in their sleep they
would constantly turn their faces to
ward your store. The newspaper is
your best friend. It helps to build up
the town or community that supports

Weeping Water Herald: "The Her
ald is in receipt of a circular from the
Associated Cycling Clubs of America,
asking the editor to write an editorial
booming cycling. Here it is: "Bicy
cles are manufactured by a number of
companies. It costs about $75 to get a
good wheel worth S25. The man that
rides a wheel and finds comfort and
health from the exercise would kick
like a bay steer if his wife asked him
to rock the baby or move the piano.
The young man that can straddle the
narrow leather saddle of a bicycle and
ride twenty miles in record breaking
time, requires a big rocker and three
cushions under him to be comfortable
when calling on his best girl. Bicycles
are a mighty profitable thing for the
the seller, and require a little less fix
ing than an automobile, and if we
owned one of each, would walk if the
train didn't run."
A MOST HORRIBLE DEATH
John Robinson, Accident! Wounded on the
Fourth of July, Dies From Lockjaw.
Racked by the horrible pains of that
most terrible disease, tetanus, every
muscle of his body tense and straining
tossed by convulsions, his jaws locke(
as though there was no joint, suffering
the uneasable pains of lockjaw, John
Robison at last was released by merci
ful death at :'M o'clock last night.
Mr. Robison lived on the old Cum
mins' farm, west of town, where he
was employed as a laborer. On the
Fourth of July last he was engaged in
examining a small pistol, w ith whicl
one of his sons was celebrating. Ac
cidentally the pistol was discharged
the powder of the blank cartridge
burning the third ringer of the right
hand.
He went at once to a doctor and had
the wound dressed. All seemed to be
going well and not wishing to lose any
more time than necessary he went to
worK again last Saturday. The hand
pained him some but he bore it for he
felt that he must work. Sunday the
pain grew worse. Monday morning
he walked down to the office of Dr
Schildknecht.
The physician asked him how lie
felt. lie replied that his hand felt all
right. It had ceased to pain him but
he said the tendons at the nape of the
neck were drawn and his jaws felt
somewhat stiff.
The doctor sent him home at once.
Tuesday morning a message came to
go and see him. The doctor at once
recognized the awful symptoms of the
deadly tetanus. He knew the man
was doomed by the one disease before
which medical science is powerless.
Mr Robison realized his condition.
He said he had $1,000 insurance in the
A. O. U. W. paid up to the 28th of
this month.
A number of Mr. Robison 's friends
went out yesterday among them being
W. W. Coates, by whom he had been
employed at various times. Mr. Smith
was sent out by the lodge.
The last scenes were most pitiful.
The wife and five children wept and
refused to be confronted while in the
other room the tortured man struggled
to keep back the cries of pain seeming
to know that it was the last blow mis
fortune could deal him.
His mother had been sent for and
arrived here frcm Hamburg, Iowa, be
fore he died.
Bob Sherwood, W. W. Coates and
others spent the morning gathering
provisions for the immediate needs of
the family. They were in destitute
circumstances. It seemed they were
so not through any fault of their own.
Mr. Robison was industrious He had
no bad habits but fate seemed to be
against him. All he undertook went
wrong. He whs handicapped even in
doing common work by deafness.
Mr. Robison was born in Atchison
countv. M . in 1S(;:$. lie was married
15 years ago in Hamburg, Iowa. His
wife and five children survive him.
The body will be taken to Hamburg
thisafternoon for burial.

PLATTSMOUTH, -
TOO YOUNG TO DOUBLE UP
Youthful Nehawka Couple Refused a Li
cense at Council Blnffs, Iowa.
In the Council Rluffs department of
the Omaha Hee of this morning ap
pears the following:
'A youthful looking couple giving
their names as A . L. .Stahl and Mae
Fulton and their residence as Ne
hawka, Neb., applied for a marriage
icense yesterday afternoon. The
young man gave his age as 21 and the
young woman gave hers as 1!. Deputy
Clerk Roy Hardesty started to make
out the license, but the more that he
looked at the prospective groom the
more he suspected that he was not as
o'd as he claimed to be. Calling Clerk
Hattey he confided his suspicion to
him and Mr. Hattev asked the young
man to step into his private orlice.
There, as Mr. Hattey said afterward,
he talked to the young fellow like a
Dutch uncle" and the young man
finally broke down and admitted he
was but 1!) years of age. When the
young woman found that no license
cauld be issued without the consent
of the parents of the prospective groom
she was very much disappointed and
it was evident she had considerable
difficulty in restraining her tears. The
young man told Mr. Hattey that lie
would go home and get his parent's
consent and return in a day or so to
secure the license. Whether the
young woman is here awaiting his re
turn or whether she accompanied the
young man back to Nebraska, or
whether they went elsewhere to try
and secure a license, is not known."
A Peculiar Accident.
Mamie Walker, aged twelve years,
of Concord, Neb., was speeding a J
cream separator when her hair became
entangled in the revolving machinery.
The wheels had been given such mo
mentum that before they could be
stopped a large portion of the scalp
had been torn from the young girl's
head. .So quickly was the injury in
flicted that the victim had only time
to give one piercing scream of agony
before her head was frightfully muti
lated and insensibility came on. When
found by her parents. Mr. and Mrs.
J. M. Walker, she was lying bleeding
beside the separator. Happily a physi
cian was near by and sewed the torn
portion of scalp back in plaee. He
thinks the child will recover fully,
with the exception of bad scars.
