Miss Iva Mougey, of Union, passed through here Tuesday afternoon en route to riattsmouth for a visit with her friend, Miss Ktta Kinkead. lien Reynard, living east of Murray, has been ouite sick for some time with kidney trouble. Dr. lirendel took him to Omaha Tuesday morning to see Dr. Allison. The new residence of W. C. Brown is fast nearitiii completion, and ere many days Billy can boast of one of the rinest residence properties in our little city. Only the very best and most substantial timber is being used and the most skilled workmen being employed. Dr. P. F. Brendel met with what mi'!it have proven a very serious acci dent, while in Omaha Tuesday of this wet-:. He had started to take the -levator to the upper stories of the Ilruce wholesale drug house, and was just about to step into the rapid tran sit car, when it started upon its up ward journey: the doctor was thrown to the floor with sufficient force to notify him of the fact that something had happened. He struck his head upon the Hoor and since carries a bump that would puzzle the greatest phrenologists of the country as to its origin, or as to its development in the doctor's future career. Mrs. Holrccs Cains Strength. Word from Mr. and Mrs.A.M. Holmes, who are now at their home in Waka nisa. Kansas, brings the glad tidings that Mrs. Holmes seems to be gaining .strength. Even after the journey from Murray to their Kansas home, she is feeling much better than when she departed. She seems to be gain ing strength daily and the best and most simple remedy is that they have slept in a tent each night with but one exception since arriving at their home. The many Cass county friends hope that she may continue to improve. A Worth While Book Free. The Boyles College, Omaha, l'.io" cat alogue is just out and is free for the asking.

Lost Somewhere between Platts mouth and the Donahue comer, on the Murray road, a dark red or wine colored parasol. Finder will please leave same with Mrs. A. L. Under wood. Murray, or at the Journal office. The Iowa house movers arrived in town this week and are at work mov ing the Hendricks residence, and when finished will commence the work on W. II. McDaniel's store room that will be moved across the street, ad joining the Boot drug store. The Journal acknowledges the re ceipt of a letter from Dr. G. H. Gil more, of Murray, who has been spend ing several weeks in Oregon, who visited the exposition at Portland. We infer from his letter that the show 'Ms not what it is cracked up to be," and a failure as compared even with the Omaha exposition several years ago. Just what we expected, and that is one reason why the Jour nal shoved in the waste basket every morsal of ''fake" advertising that arrived at this office asking us to print the same free, in order that a lot of hangers-on to state commissions might get enough to pay salaries to political pets. GOES THROUGH THE BRIDGE A Prominent Young Farmer Near Murray . Gees Down With the Machine. BEN DILL SEVERELY INJURED But at Last Accounts He Was Doing as Well as Could be Expected. Mr. Dill had just received a new traction engine at the freight depot with water and coal wagons. He was running the engine to his home and drawing the two wagons. He had reached a point three quarters of a mile west of Murray where there is a bridge over Bock Creek. The bridge is about 14 feet above the bed of the creek and was not in the best condi tion. Arriving at the bridge Mr. Dill examined it and then started across. He had just reached the middle of the bridge, when, with scarcely any warning the timbers cracked, broke and the ponderous engine crashed through to the ground fourteen feet Mr. Dill stayed with the engine and went with it in its terrible drop to the bottom. He was caught ' be tween one of the wagons and the en gine and his left shoulder was badly crushed. A large gash was cut in the calf of the left leg and he was bad bruised. His son Charlie was present at the time of the accident but was not on the engine. He at once ran to the assis tance of his father. The young man then drove quickly to the office of Dr. Brendel at Murray. The injured man there received sur gical attention and was later removed to his farm. Mr. Dill's father, Andy Dill, of Plattsmouth, was sent for and is now with him at his home. Mr. Dill had a bad hemorrhage last night, which indicates that the inter nal injury was probably severe. To day he was reported to be resting easy and it is now believed he will recover from toe effects of the accident. Mr. Dill is one of the well-to-do farmers of Cass county. His father is one of the early settlers, but is now retired and lives in Plattsmouth. The social ball given in the Manners .Sc Laughridge hall, by a number of the young people on last Friday evening, was a grand success in every particu lar. The following were in attend ance, all of whom enjoyed the merry waltz and the gay two-step, until the wee small hours of the morning: Misses Carrie Allison, Gertrude Lonj, Ida Boedeker, Florence Dovey, Margery Walker, Emma and Grace Groves, Mabel Deering, Minnie Herron and Gussie Kobb. Messrs. X. C. Brown, Jake and Jeff Brendel, Glen Boedeker, Hugh Bobb, James and Harve Man ners. Bert Phil pot and Dr. Morseman, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Holmes. Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Baker, Mr. and Mrs. How ard Graves, Mr. and Mrs. Guy Burton. The music fcr the occasion was furn ished by Miss Anna Davis, of Union, and our genial harness maker, John Cook. is the Young Girl Safe? Is it safe for the young American girl to travel alone? Tradition fos tered byagrowingiiberalism had made it a eardinal doctrine that the Ameri can young woman can go anywhere without an escort, relying mi her wit and her self-possession for protection, says the Lincoln News. The atti tude has been symptomatic of the bouyant independence which has be come the heritage of the American and is very naturally claimed for the fem inine members of the family. However, this security is questioned by Miss Helen Bull is. of New York. one of a committee appointed by the coun cil of Jewish women to study the need of organizing a travelers' aid bureau to look after the interests of immi grants, who has made the following startling statement: "In this day in this country the young girl is much in evidence. She goes to college and returns from it alone, she goes to world's fairs alone, she packs her suit case at a moment's notice and starts for tne isles of the sea alone. How is she protected and what may not happen to her? "The American girl, you may say, can take care of herself anywhere. Her wit, her self-possession are her best protection. This is usually true, but her self-possession is as often the re sult of innocence as of knowledge, and, sad to say, the time when innocence was a perfect shield, when Una couid move unharmed among the lions, is rapidly passing. The anxious fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters and rela tives at the station prove that. If girls of a superior class are not safe what shall we say of the more ignorant and innocent ones?" Shall the people return to the old idea that the woman is a dependent creature, under tutelage, and in con stant need of being guarded? She is now free to go and come as she pleases, unhampered by restraint of any kind. Will it be necessary to keep the young women under surveillance for their protection? There was a time when no young woman of respectable station could go out unattended. Will there be a return to such methods? In those days the seclusion of the cloister was regarded as the perfection of environ ment for the girl. It is contrary to the modern spirit, but it may be need ed to eke out the deficiencies of a civ ilization which cannot attain stand ards which would ensure the perfect safety of the unaccompanied female whatever her station. It Surely Does. A Texas girl advertised for a. hus band and got him. The total expense for advertising, wedding outfit, etc., was 11. Within a year he died leav ing her an insurance policy of 10,000. And yet some people claim it don't pay to advertise. Presbyterian Congregational Meeting The congregation of the Presbyter ian church are called to meet at the church Friday evening for considera tion of the election of a pastor for the pulpit made vacant by the resigna tion of Dr. J. T. Baird. The name of Rev. James Salsbury is really the only one before the congre gation. He has filled the pulpit the lasttwo Sundays and has made a very good impression. He is at present pastor of the Third Presbyterian church of Lincoln but it is understood that he would accept a call to riatts mouth, were it extended to him. CHARTERED 1820 Aetna Life Insurance Go.
