AN EXCEEDINGLY CLOSE CALL It is Dangerous to Sleep Under Gars Even if They Are on Sidetrack One of the italian laborers in the ex. tra gang working on the hill for the Burlington, had a close call for hurrying into the hereafter Saturday night. The cars of this gang are set out on the spur track just east of the freight depot and south of the passenger station. As the night was very warm a number of the laborers found the cars to hot and close for comfort and got outside to sleep. Instead of manifesting a little common sense they crawled under the cars and soon were wrapped in the arms of Morpheus. Sunday morning a tabout 4 o'clock and extra was to be made up and the crew of the train went in on the track with the engine to pick up the caboose of the train which had been set in on this track. They bumped into the caboose with a pretty good jolt and such effect that the entire string of boarding cars were moved. No sooner had the cars started than the air was made hideous with yells and howls cal culated to rouse the dead. One of the cars had caught an italian who was lay ing across the track and rolled and pushed him along several feet. As he was sound asleep the rude manner of waking him made him think that the hereafter was only a couple of blocks up the street and coming fast, and he opened up his voice and howled all he was worth. Of course, the crew im mediately stopped the cars and rushed down to where he was, finding him with about thirty thousand pounds of car on his system principally across his leg. It was necessary to jack the car up to get him out and he lamented the process in a loud and strident voice call ing upon all the saints in his particular calendar to save him. His real savior were his fellow countrymen who were doing their their best to help him unload the car. After he was dug out, Dr. J. S. Livingston was summoned and found the man very badly bruised, and cut up a bit, but with no bones broken. He put him in as comfortable a condit tionas possible and he will be taken to a hospital for further treatment. While his injuries are not serious they are very painful. It is believed his rough treatment will tend to discourage the practice in the gang of sleeping on the track. WILL ESTABLISH AN UNIVERSITY The Trustees of Believue Col lege Have So Decided. Believue college, which -found itself set back to a college foundation instead of upon a university plan through in advertence in allowing proxies at a trustees' meeting when the expansion was ordered is again on a university footing.

This resolution, presented by three of the trustees, was adopted unanimously: In furtherance of the plans that have been under consideration by the trustees and friends of Believue college for the developement of the University of Om aha with which Believue college shall be affiliated, be it. Resolved, That we approve of the organization of a separate corporation and of the location of such Univeritv of Omaha in Douglas county.

ACCIDENT NAR ROWLY AVERTED A Very Deep Rut in the Street Throws Parties From Buggy A serious accident was narrowly avert ed Sunday evening by the presence of mind of Mrs. L. W. Lorenz, who, as a result, saved her baby from possible serious injury as well as herself. As it was the lady had her knee bruised and was otherwise shook up, but fortunately nothing serious resulted. Mr. Lorenz, wife and little baby had been out for a drive and were returning home about nine o'clock. The heavy rains of the early spring had washed a hole In the street near his residence u Eighth street and as he drove in last night he was unable to locate the place on account of the darkness, striking the spot with the front wheels of the buggy. As the buggy went down into the hole the horse leaped forward and Mr. Lorenz had a hard time holding him. At the same time Mrs. Lorenz who was holding the baby in her arms, was thrown violently forward and out of the buggy. She fortunately lighted upon one of the front wheels while her foot caught in the other wheel prevent ing her falling to the ground. As soon as Mr. Lorenz could get the horse un der control, he took the baby from his wife's arms and she was able to extri cate herself from her uncomfortable position. Mr. Lorenz today notified the street commissioner and the dangerous spot will be fixed. Both Mr. and Mrs. Lorenz congratulate themselves on the fortunate outcome of the accident. Farewell Reception. LastJSunday some forty friend3 of Rudolph Ramsell, who is soon to leave for Germany, assembled at the home of Henry Kaufman several miles south of the city, to give him a farewell party. The afternoon was spent in visiting among friends with german songs and melodies. There were all kinds of refreshments in abundance and at the close of the afternoon there was a fine supper that the many guests did ample justice to. Every variety of food that generous nature yields was upon the table, the host and' hostess outdoing themselves in providing for the comfort and welfare of their many guests. Everyone had a merry time and gave Mr. Ramsell a royal send off on his joarney. There were a great many of the guests from this city, almost all the prominent Germans driving down to this delightful country party and es caping the heat of the city. The entire party was photographed by Gus Olson of the Olson Photograph Company, Mr. Ramsell desired some of the photo graphs to take with him to Germany. Bit by a Hog. Fred Hild, the son of Adam Hild, living west of the city, this morning was the victim of a painful altho not serious injury Monday morning. As the young man was feeding the hogs one of them became unrely and vicious and he kicked at it. Whether by accident or from viciousness the hog bit at him at the same time and it's tusk tore through the leather of his shoe and his sock, breaking the skin on the foot and inflicting an ugly and very painful wound. The wound was about half an inch from the base of the big and sec ond toes and went in quite deep. The accident happened at about six o'clock this morning and at the time did not worry Mr. Hild much. Later the foot began to swell and he thought it best to have medical attention. It was almost noon however before he and his father arrived in the city where Dr. J. S. Livingston gave the foot at tention. The doctor does not apprehend any serious complications from the hurt al tho it will lay Mr. Hild up for several days. So far as could be observed there was no danger of blood poisoning which is the principal danger. For -Continuing Concerts.

Hickson, employed with the Plattsmouth Water Co., and living on Oak Street, between Seventh and Eighth Streets, Plattsmouth, Nebr., says: "My experience with Doan's Kidney Pills warrants me in giving them my strongest recommendation. Off and on for twelve or fourteen years I was subject to attacks of pain in my back and other symptoms which gave evidence of a deranged conditions of my kidneys. Procuring Doan's Kidney Pills at Gering & Co's drug store, I used them as directed and the benefit derived, was so pronounced that I am able to attest to the remarkable value and merit of this remedy.
