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

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.

The Journal acknowledges the re
ceipt of a letter from Dr. G. H. Gil

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.
