vator shaft was ablaze, and they took
to the Dre escape, available from an
other room, clad only In their night
clothes. The adjustable ladder at the
bottom of the fire escape was blocked
by telephone and electric light wires,

Jump from the top of an outside show

ET'S GET UP AND GET AHEAD OF THEM
Judicious Advertising is What Brings
Trade and Builds Up Towns
and Cities.
Every citizen of Plattsmouth, and
those who reside In the Immediate
vicinity, should bo Interested In her
greater growth and prosperity. The
past year has been one of prosperity
and it should be the effort of all to
keep on Improving. More substantial
Improvements In the way of beautiful
new homes have been made In the
past season than for several years pre
vious. riaiiHiuouiii nas as progres
sive a set of business men as exists
anywhere, but they need punching up
oiue In a while to make some of them
believe they are. Plattsmout It should
have a big holiday trade, ami the only
way to prevent the trade going to
Omaha that Justly belongs to this
city, Is to let the people know you
have the goods they want, and are
willing to give bargains. A greater
business for our larger merchants
means better business ;or all and a
better city in every way. They are
the town builders. This is an age of
advertising and the people are learn
ing to read the ads of the merchants
before buying, and If they read that
Plattsmouth merchants are olTerlng
bargains they will come here to buy,
but If nut they seem bound to go
where they are offering inducements
for them to come.
The following on the work of build
ing up a town Is taken from the Leon
(Iowa) Journal, and Is so good and so
trite upon the subject that we take
the liberty of reproducing it: "The
work of building up a town Isn't so
far different from that of advancing
the concerns cf an Individual. The
only difference Is that It is easy to In
terest most persons in their Immedi
ate concerns while men often overlook
the fact that their material welfare
Is Inseparable from the general well
being of a town. The man who has a
dollar invested in a given town and
who earns his livelihood In It Is vi
tally ccncerncd in the moral and ma
terial well being of that town and he
Is neglecting his own concerns when
he lets an opportunity pass to do all
within his power and resources to ad
vance the common good. The man
who makes two spears of grass to
grow where but one formerly found
sustenance has been much praised.
The man who provides employment
for two where but one formealy found
employment lacks much of being an
enemy of his kind also. Trade with
the man who advertises. It Is he who
shows appreciation of your trade by
letting you know what he has for sale.
It Is he who shows faith In his mer
chandise by not being afraid to pub
licly talk about It. It is he who is
likely to make you the lowest prices,
for does he not openly proclaim them
to the world? He Is the one whose
store is best managed; whose clerks
arc the most agreeable to buy from;
w hose goods are up-to-date, for, you
know, he must support his advertising
by proper store methods. He is al
ways en enterprising, public spirited
citizen and for that reason, too, he
deserves support."

Roosevelt Favors Institutes.
President Roosevelt favors farmers'
institutes, and In his message to con
gress says of these meetings: "Great
progress has already been made among
farmers by the creation of farmers'
Institutes, of diary associations, of
Lreeders' associations, horticultural
associations and the like." When the
president of the 1'nlted States rec
ognizes these Institutes to the extent
of speaking of them In his annual mes
sage, no farmer can afford to remain
away from meetings that are calcula
ted to do him a wonderful amount of
good.

BADLY MANGLED BY MACHINE
Joe Lloyd, While Moving Threshing Outfit
Gets Clothes Caught.
WHEN HE INCREASED THE SPEED
Is Pulled Into Machinery and Sustains Se
verely Lacerated Limb, Which Re
quires 25 Stitches to Close,
About half past ten o'clock this
morning, while moving a threshing
outfit from homo to tho farm of J. M.
Hanna, where a quantity of clover
was to be hulled today, Joe Lloyd was
the unfortunate victim of an accident
that came near costing him one of bis
limbs.
When a short distance from his
home In the south part of town, Mr.1
Lloyd stepped u p along the side or the
moving engine In order to Increase the
speed. While doing this, his pant's
leg caught In the machinery, winding
up rapidly, and pulling the left limb
Into the wheels which In a very short
time severely lacerated his left limb
from the knee to the ankle.
Only prompt action prevented a
much more serious Injury and prob
ably the fracture of the limb. The In
jured man was conveyed home and &
physician hastily summoned to close
tho terrible gashes. To replace the
llesh required twenty-five stitchcs,and
although of a very painful nature, the
wounded limb was soon dressed, and
as we go to press the patient Is resting
fairly well.
Lad Pushed Under Horses Hoofs.
Last evening about six o'clock lower
Main street was the scene of consed
crablc excitement, when Hoy Stadler
was pushed under the hoofs of a team
driven by Geo. Stander. The boy, to
gether with a companion, was playing
on the walk In front of II. M. Socn
nlchsen'sstore, and as the team drove
up to the curbing the Stadler boy
was pushed off of the walk under tho
horses. The tram was stopped, and
the screaming and sobbing lad taken
to the office of Dr. T. P. Livingston,
where a slight gash about the right
eye and a leg were dressed, after which
the boy was taken home. It was at
first feared that he had received In
ternal Injuries, but he was more
frightened than Injured, and Is now
getting along all right.
