CRUSHED BETWEEN CARS While Detaching Car From Freight No. 29 In the Ashland Yards. BRAKMAN WADE PINIONED BY BUMPERS Sustains Broken Ribs, Shoulder and Other Serious Injures Brakeman Crisman Narrowly Escaped. The details of a serious accident, that came near resulting In the death of two Burlington brakemen, who are well known In this city, were received by the Journal Tuesday evening. The Incident to which we make re ference, occurred last Monday about fifteen minutes past one o'clock, while No. 21), a local freight between Pacific Junction and Lincoln, was switching In the yards at Ashland. The two brakemen, Robert Wade and Arthur Crisman, who spend their time, be tween their regular runs, in this city, where they have many friends, were engaged in the work of detaching from the train a car, from which the bum pers and coupling apparatus was miss ing, and which was fastened to the preceding car by chains. While Wade was standing partly upright and Cris man was kneeling down, the engineer took slack upon the train, pinioning Wade between the' bumpers of the for ward car and edge of the other car. When the injured man was extracted from the perilous posit ion, by Crisman, whose hat was caught between the two cars, and who narrowly escaped death by a few Inches, Wade was found in a very critical condition, as a result of the numerous Injuries received about his body and head. He was Immedi ately conveyed to his home city, where he was placed in a hospital, and it was ascertained that he was suffering from five broken ribs, a fractured shoulder and several severe scalp wounds. The unfortunate man Is about forty-two years of age, and is In a very critical condition although the medical auth orities think that he will pull through safely, if he has not received serious Internal injuries. Art Crisman was In the city last evening, and we were glad to hear that Mr. Wade was rest ing fairly well yesterday morning, also to learn of Art's fortunate escape. PlatUmouth v. Glenwood. In the ball game Tuesday afternoon between the I'lattsmouth High school and the Glenwood High school the pitching of Carl Graves proved too much for the visitors, and when the dust had settled on the gridiron, the locals had 14 scores while the Glen wood boys had 8 to their credit. After the ball game the Glenwoods took In the carnival and enjoyed themselves until a late hour. Is Your Hair Sick? That's too bad !

Frohardt, one of the new Ked jl'ull breeders of that section. Mr. I Frohardt was here the latter part of 'last week to look over the excellent herd of Wiles & Sims, and of course I was not long in choosing the animal he wanted as the head of his herd. Some years ago Mr. Frohardt pur chased his foundation cow from Mr. Wiles, and now heads his herd with the several animals purchased from Mr. Wiles. The Wiles' Ked Toll herd is becoming quite famous over tle en tire state, also adjoining states, and those making purchases from them will never have cause to regret the sauie. SITE FOR THE NEW POSTOFFIGE BUILDING Statement of Methods Employed by the Treasury Department in Securing Sites for Federal Building. Another Indication that the postof lieu building is a ''sure go" fur I'latts mouth, the following circular letter has been received by Postmaster Smith in regard to the location of the build ing, the purchase of the site, and pro cce dure in the matter in general: "Whenever an act of congress aut h orizes the acquisition of a site for a proposed public building whether by purchase or gift" the treasury depart ment Invites, through an advertise ment inserted in a local newspaper, bids for the sale, or propositions of do nation, and directs that the same be submitted to the secretary of the treasury at Washington. This adver tisement gives such Information as to the approximate dimensions of the site required and the general conditions and requirements as wilt enable intel ligent preparation and submission of bids or olTers. "The bids and olTers obtained In this way. are opened at the treasury depart ment In Washington at the time stat ed in the advertisement, and as soon thereafter as practicable an agent of the department is sent to make a per sonal examination of the properties offered, and upon this report, together with representations In writing from other sources, the department makes selection, conditioned, nevertheless, that the title to the property be ap proved by the Attorney-General. When the land is thus acquired on which buildings arc situated which are reserved by the party selling, no tice to remove the same is given after the land has been actually acquired and title approved. "Whenever the department is un able to obtain an acceptable site at a reasonable price in the manner above outlined, it frequently makes selection and authorizes the department of jus tice to begin and prosecute condemna tion proceedings in which the price to be paid is judicially determined. "As soon as practicable after the acquisition of the site, plans for the proposed building are prepared and a contract let for the construction thereof. L. M. Siuw."

A gentleman connected with the la bor department of the Burlington said yesterday that it was very hard to se cure sufficient men to carry on the work now being pushed by the differ ent railroads. On the Lincoln line of the North-Western, which Is being bal Isted from that city to Fremont, dim culty Is being experienced In getting men enough to carry on the work as expeditiously as desired. And the Omaha papers tell the same story about the railroads In general. The Union Pacific, North-Western and liurllngton are not only Improving their lines In Eastern Nebraska but are pushing extensions in the west, but each company Is handicapped by being unable to secure men to work on construction. Throughout Wyoming, where a large portion of the work on the railroads Is being done, the com mon laborers are paid $2.2.", per day. Hoard In the camps Is approximately $1 per week, but even at these wages men cannot be found. The labor agencies of Omaha and other cities have been appealed to, but they are unable to supply the necessary number of men. On the Nebraska lines where con struction is going on, the work has been delayed to a considerable extent on account of a shortage of help. In this state the wages run from $1 "." to $"2 per day, with the board about :i."0 per week in the camps, but help can not be secured. The Milwaukee and Northwestern are having the same dllllculty on their South Dakota extensions as the other roads are having elsewhere. "Red Sox" Defeat "Has Been." In a hotly contested game between the "Has Heens" and the "Red Sox," the latter won by a score of 12 to 5. The features of the game were the home runs made by Heatherlngton and Hale, who showed the "Has Heens" how to play ball. The pitch ing on both sides was excellent White doing the stunt for the "Has Heens" and Graves twirling for the "Red Sox." Catcher Fitzgerald received a foul tip on the fingers, which com pelled him to retire in favor of Car mack. Teachers at Peru Enjoy Picnic. The county superintendent, J. V. Gamble, returned this morning from Peru, where he reports that he had the pleasure to enjoy a picnic with the Cass county teachers who arc at tending the state normal. Mr. Gamble delivered an address on "The life of the teacher outside of the school room," discussing the social life: relation of the teacher to the community: what the community ex pects of a teacher, and the advantages of knowing the community. The visit in Peru proved to be a very enjoyable one, and the superin tendent expressed high compliments of the teachers who arc devoting their summer vacation toward obtaining a higher education. The Cass county teachers present to enjoy the picnic dinner on the campus were Misses Rebecca Haines, Margaret Weber, Phoebe Davis, Leila Dugay, Julia Nntzman, Lena Harnes, Cora Crab tree.Minnie Harnhart, Grace Solhurst, Mildred Hutler, Lcda Ross, Lulu Sutton, Emily Livingston, Hell Dyer, Louis Mlckle, Maud Tubus, Messrs.

SHOULD SETTLE YOUR TROUBLES AT HOME The Nebraska City Tribune Advises Cass County Republicans to Settle Their Own Troubles. Our neighbors and friends in Cass county of the republican persuasion owe it to themselves and to their friends in adjoining count ies in sten out into the open am! settle their "situation" at home and not drift Us responsibilities over to the decision of other counties and other party mem bers. Cass county has at this time a candidate for nomination on the re publican ticket for each of two highly Important oHiccs governor of Nebras ka and congressman from the First Nebraska district. As a mere peculi arity of human nature it may be said that "statesmen" are sutliclcntly plen ty in Nebraska that t hese two Import ant nominations can not, In the or dinary course of events, be both plac ed In the charming little vlllageof Ne hawka, Cass county. Human experi ence Indicates that at least one aspir ant must lose. That there Is no con stitutional provision or statutory dic tum on this point everybody is well aware and so far as law is concerned all the state officers, one congressman and two senators might come from N'e hawka without protest, but custom and usage, really stronger than law, frowns upon this sort of "centraliza tion" of honors and emoluments and there is not a well posted cit len in Cass county today who expects tw in "streaks" of political lightning sim ultaneously connect with the rods that are "up" In Cass county. This being the case, and the Tribune does not be lieve its conclusions will be seriously questioned: why is it not Incumbent on Cass county to clear the entire situa tion by a straight-out declaration of what she wants? Isn't It a reasonable demand on the part of the friends of Cass county outside her own borders and who are joined with her in associ ation In various political divisions of government and administral ion, to ask that she designate what she really does want- whether her people want a fellow citizen in the governor's chair or in the congress of the I'nited States. Does Cass expect her neigh oors in me r irst district to render a decision which she ought to but she shrinks from rendering herself? The maniy, straigni-out ann courageous position for Cass will be to clear her own "situation" by declaring unequiv ocally what she wants and whom she desires to honor within her own bor ders. Cass county ought to "settle It" at home. There Is plenty of both In telligence and courage In Cass county and it ought to be available for a clean cut announcement of the party wishes and desires.

The third night of the street carni val has passed and has proved the most successful of all since the open ing here. It appeared that the entire population of I'lattsmouth had turned out last night, and many farmers and their families were also here. There were also many in attendance from Glenwood and l'ucitlc Junction. The Intense heat rendered several tents, which were tightly closed, very un comfortable, hut this must be attri buted to the weather man and not the management, lint notwithstanding the heal all the shows did a good busi ness from the hour of beginning tint II IL' o'clock, several of them giving as many as lour entertainments. So far the crowds have been orderly, ;"itl, ;' was remarked last night by one ol the managers, "We have visited many cities, and among them unite a num ber of Kansas prohibition towns and have not come across a better or more orderly class of people than you have right here In I'lattsmouth." That's good for our city, and if things run along as smoothly In the. following three nights as they have, the element that at lirst dono so much kicking against the Parker company coming here, will be the tlrst ones to advocate a carnival next year. The l'arker Amusement company came here w ith one of the best reputa tions of any carnival company on the road and from the managers down the line to canvasmen and hostlers, they have so far "held good." Kverybody has a good word for them, and this good feeling we trust will continue to exist throughout their engaueinent In I'lattsmouth. I hose from adjoining towns last night were profuse In I heir admiration of the manner in which the show fronts were lighted up and the dazl Ing beauty thus rendered by the lights relleetions upon the carved and gilded rrontsplec.es. 1 hey were surprised when told that the l'arker company carried their own electric light plant, and that these lights were produced by a .'in-horse power engine and one of theswellest dynamos In the country, which Is capable of pulling ju'i ampheres, audits capacity is all that Is necessary to produce t he excellent system which one beholds in the brilliantly lit streetsevcry night. This plant, is under the management of young men, neither one of whom Is over '21 years of age. The chief elec trician Is Morlcy Robeson and the chief engineer Is Charley Michaels. The engine is brought In action also for loading and unloading the wagons from the cars. The l'arker Amusement company Is one of the most completeorganl.at ions of its character in the carnival line and It Is truly wonderful the harmony and good feeling that exists with the l.V) people of whom the company Is com posed. No grumbling orgrowling, and everything runs as smooth as glass. Carnival Note. Tonight will be a good one, and a larger crowd than ever expected. Many were here from Murray, My nard and I'nion last night, and all were delighted with the carnival. The "ticklers" made their appear ranco last night, now look out for the detestlble confetti.

Mrs. Mcrkel, wife of Dr. Merkle, manager of the Tyrolean Alps, Is a genuine Hohemlan, and her home was formerly at Wilbur, Neb., where her parents at present reside.

J Dr. Murkel, prcssagent and manager i of the Tyrolean Alps, Is a line gentle j man and possesses that facult y of keep ing his audiences in a laughing mood during his entertainments. This Is another reason why the Alps show Is becoming more popular each day. Sight seers do not want to give the moving picture show the go-by.

The Nellie show, as usual, captured Its share of sight-seers, and it was the general remark of all who were there that you feel more than repaid for the time and money spent.
