    TYSON GETS
BROKEN LEG
Llotor Cycle Ditches Him
In a Race.
A very serious accident took place
last Tuesday afternoon several miles
north of El in wood by which M. ll.
Tyw.n. ji prominent real estate deal
er of that city anil a brother of ex
County Clerk L. A. Tyson, sustained
K broken leg. Tyson and a party of
RutomoblllstH had been discussing !
the respective merits of th auto
and the motor cycle of which latter
machine .Mr. Tyson is an admirer.
The bantering finally led to the pro
posal for a race from Kirn wood to
M unlock and the parties siarteei out
of Klmwooel at top speed. Tyson
Jumped Into a long lead over tin au
to right from the start and by the
time the latter was two and a ha!f
Miles fnt of town. Tyson was a mile
ahead. The party saw him K over
n hill ft mile away at terrific speed.
Later they cume up with him lying
on the road side with his leg bi"k-i
Just above the ankle, the bones pro
jecting through the flesh Vhey
hurriedly loaded him into tin auto
and returned to Elmwood hre he
received medical attention. Tyson
does not know just whnt caused the
wreck but presumes it to have Keen
ji hard lump of earth which the ma
chine struck. The tire of ih" ma
chine was burst by the impact with
the object.
County Cb-rk Koseiicrans was in
Kiinwood and visited the ent h-nia li
night before last when he was rest
ing easy. It is a remarkable ming
that he was not killed outright as
he was said to be traveling just as
fast as the machine could go. Spec
tators who saw him going along the
road unite in saying that he was
tunning far faster than a railroad
train, in fact one of them statins
that he hardly saw him coming be
fore he was far away. It is estimated
that he was running sixty miles an
hour when the wreck occurred.

GETS BIG
NEW MACHINE
The Thomases Hew Jackson
Touring Car.
Former Senator S. L. Thomas, his
son Walter I... and Clare Thomas r
turned yesterday afternoon from
Omaha where they were to get their
new machine and cajuo back to the
ferry in the machine the same day.
Owing to the large quantity of float
ing ice in the channel, the ferry was
not able to run that day and the
gentlemen were forced to run to
Glen wood for the night. Yester
day morniug they took their machine
and made a trip from Gh-nwood to
Council ItlulTs where they spent sev
eral hours, again returning to the
ferry arriving here about noon. This
time they were enabled to get a ro:--.s
and arrived here shortly past neon.
The new car is a very liri" one am;
presents a handsome and brilliant
appearance. It is a large 2 2 II. P.
machine with a sent .''it; -.i.i i I ; for
iive persons although -stcr.!uy it
carried six. t ne very handsome ap
pearance )t" the machine is largelv
owing to the color of the body which
is wine colored, a pleasing effect to
the eye. Yesterday afternoon the
gentlemen took a number of their
friends for a ride in the machine
which runs as smoothly and easily
as any ever in the city.
Tin's car is one of a shipment of
one hundred which the Pioneer Im
plement Company of Council Bluffs,
la., has received for the corn show
at Omaha. The Pioneer company is
the general selling agents for this
section. Walter L. Thomas has ac
cepted the general agency for this
section of Cass county and if the new
machine is a fair criterion of the ma
chines he handles, there is every rea
son to believe he will fulfill the do
sires of the public.
Mrs. Harry Huffer of Havelock ar
rived in the city this morning from
Rock Island, 111., where she has been
visiting with relatives and friends
She will be the guest of A. L. Huffer

Stole Livery Tcum.
A bold case of horse stealing took
place Sunday at Pacific: Junction. At
seven o'clock that morning a young
fellow of about 23 years of age ap
plied to H. A. Jones' livery barn for
a rig, stating that he wished to drive
up to Glenwood to see George Kstes.
Previous to this the man had reg
istered at the Peyton hotel as Charlie
Williarxs, giving his residence as
Hamburg.
The man not having returned Mon
day morning Mr. Jones notified the
officers. The fellow in the meantime
had plenty of time to make his get a
way and the officers had little chance
to locate him. Inquiry of Mr. Ksles
showed that the man had not been to
see him.
The stolen team was a black and
grey. The buggy was a Concord
make, single seated with rev! wheels.

From Wednesday's I:iilv
Deputy uatton was summoned on
Friday night to the Logan home six
miles northwest of Glenwood where
he took into custody Carl Rewstein
a Swede able to talk broken English
and aged about 4;j years. The man
came unceremoniously into the house
and by his queer actions alarmed the
family.
He was arraigned before Justice
Day on Saturday and sentenced to
ten days in jail as a tramp. Investi
gation revealed that he had escaped
from the Nebraska insane asylum at
Lincoln about a month ago. He was
taken to Lincoln this afternoon.
This is evidently the same fellow
that appeared early last Thursday
morning at the home of George Shaw
a tenant on the R. 13 Judson farm in
tenter townsnip. Mrs. Shaw was
alone at the time and was badly
frightened by the man's conduct and
talk. She fled to a neighbor's home
and Sheriff Linville and Deputy Dal-
ton were summoned. They picked
up a fellow that had slept in a barn
the night before but Mrs. Shaw de
clared that he was not the one.
The Thurman Times tells of a
crazy man operating in tnat vicinity
last week, badly scaring a number of
women. He was reported as headed
for Tabor when last seen. It is quite
likely that Rewstein is the chap that
has been causing all the commotion

"Gratitude for the wonderful effect of

ORGANIZE A

Meeting at Church Enthusiastic For
New Organization.
From Wednesday's Dally
Last evening at the Presbyterian
church there was perfected the or
ganization of one of the most use
ful institutions of the city in the
uroihertiood. This organization
proposes to spend the winter in the
study of various political and moral
questions.
ine meeting last night was as the
guests of Rev. J. H. Salsbury. whose
piogressiveness was responsible for
the formation of the society. Pre
vious to the meeting coming to or
der there was a little luncheon con
sisung or oyster stews served bv W
J. Streight and the pastor.
1 lie meeting opened with a discus
sion regarding the advisability and
necessity for the purpose of exercis
ing good influence in the commun
it j'. .The discussion resulted in th
organization of what is termed th
i lesoyierian i roi nernood to be com
posed of the members of the I'resby

How to Cure a Cold.
Be as careful as you can you will oc
casionally take cold, and when you do,
get a medicine of known reliability, one
that has an established reputation and
that is certain to effect a quick cure.
Such a medicine is Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. It has gained a world wide
reputation by its remarkable cures of
this most common ailment, and can
always be depended upon. It acts on
nature's plan, relieves the lungs, aids
expectoration, opens the secretions and
aids nature in restoring the system to
a healthy condition. During the many
years in which it has beenj in general
use we have yet to learn of a single
case of cold or attack of the grip hav
ing resulted in pneumonia when this
remedy was used, which shows conclu
sively that it is a certain preventive of
that dangerous disease. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy contains no opium or
other narcotic and may be given as con
fidently to a baby as to an adult. For
sale by F. G. Fricke & Co.
Tom is Disappointed.
One correction is to be made in
the list of members elect of the
house. After receiving, all kinds of
congratulations and celebrating his
victory in appropriate style, T. J.
Wilburn. of Atkinson, found that
his unofficial majority of 62 was
more than wiped out by an of
ficial count. i. A. Allen, a repub
lican, was elected to the place. This
reduces the number of democrats
in the house, but doesn't help much
in eliminating the brutal majority,
the number is 69 instead of 70.
More Than Enough is Too Much.
To maintain health, a nature man or
woman needs just enough food to re
pair the waste and supply energy and
body heat. The habitual consumption
of more food than is necessary for these
purposes is the prime cause of stomach
troubles, rheumatism and disorders of
the kidneys. If troubled with indiges
tion, revise your diet, let reason and
not appetite control and take a few
doses of Chamberlain's Stomach and
Liver Tablets and you will soon be all
right again. For sale by F. G. Fricke
& Co.

A TOWN'S BUSI
NESS MANAGER
Some Pointers That Might Prove of
Interest Our Own Beloved City.
The following is taken from the
Washington Herald, which will prove
worthy of approval by many of our
own townspeople, who want a live
town :
An instructive experiment in muni
cipal administration is under way- in
tauntoii, a., a c ity of I L'.uuu i i : i . ; 1 1 i -tants,
where the local authorities
have intrusted the job of running the
town to a business manager. The
city retains the form of nn-
Htical organization required by law.
and is governed from a legal stand
point by a mayor and city council.
These officers however have dele-
ated the purely business functions
of local administration to the busi
ness manager, elected by them for a
period of one year and directly re
sponsible to them. He is given a free
hand in buying city supplii-s and in
making municipal contracts. Eve-ry
threes months he siomits a ropfrt
to the council, as a board of direct
ors, and his acts tie passed unon.
usually with approval. He suggests
such legislation as is reeiuired to
authorize his projects. In brief, his
position is practically the same as
that of the general manager of a
large business corporation.
Staunton's business manage-r has
be-en in office since last April. Since
that time he has evidently made good
for after having him a term of one
year, the council has re-elected him
for another term. He has saved
money to the tax payers, according
to his own statement, and given them
an economical and efficient service.
For one thing he was able to place
contracts for granolithic paving at
seventy-one cents a yard instead of
$2 the council was paying prior to
his appointment. The results are an
alogous to those accomplished by
the commission plan of government
in other cities. As everyone knows.
the difficulty of converting a muni-
ipal administration into a purely
business proposition is that local gov
ernment is a political as well as a
business affair, and the two things
cannot be legally separated. The
Virginia town seems to have over
come this difficulty by the simple
expedient of employing an officer to
conduct the purely business part of
local administration, while the polit
ical functions are retained in the city
officials chosen by the people in ac
cordance with the state constitution
and laws.

AU ODD CASE
Carl Micek Attacks Insurance Left
D I t r t. i i
D' L3Ie rMn SVChla.
From W.1n, I'ully -
In the county court this morning
Attorney Matthew (Jering c om nienc-
ied a suit against Marie Sv. hla on be
jhalf of Carl Micek which Is sonie
;what unusual in that he seeks to at
tach some Insurance- funds which are
supposed to be payable to the de
fendant. Mrs. Svchla is the
! widow of the late Frank Svchla and
j was the beneficiary under a policy of
I insurance issued to Svchla by the
Western Ilohemiun Protective asso-
elation. The petition in the case re
cites that at various times Micek
loaned sums of money to Frank
Svchla, the husband, and the defend
ant at their special instance amount
ing in the aggregate to the sum of
$fi4.- which they never repaid.
Judgment is asked for that amount.
An altidavit for an order of attach,
nient and garnishment Is also filed
which recites that the defendant m
conceals herself that .summons can
not be served upon her; that slut Is
about to remove he;- property from
the jurisdiction of the court; that
she is about lo convert the property
into cash; that she is concealing jltr
property; jmd that she fraudulent ly
cont rac te.l the debt sued upon. All
these things ;re done with the In
tent to defraud the plaintiff.
A garnishment against the West
ern liolninian Protective associa
tion and William Holly, the local sec
retary of the Kohemian lodge is
asked for and granted as Holly has
the funds for the payment of the in
surance in his hands.
The case- promises t be a hard
fought one as the question involved
is that of the
sanc tity of an insurance
fund. If the fund is created for the
protection of the widow and orphans
of deceased members and whether it
be used for any other purpose? is
questionable and will be decided iu
this e-a.so.
SOME CURIOSI
TIES JNELECTION
Prohibitionists and Socialists Both
Show Decreases In Votes.
Unofficial tabulations of the state
returns show that the vote of tlm-,
prohibition party on governor is
nearly 2,000 loss than it was four
years ago at the presidential elec
tion for the same office, while the
vote this year on other state officers
is almost as large as the vote cast
by prohibitionists four years ago.
Did the lost votes of the prohibition
ists on governor this year go to the
democratic or republican candidates
for governor? The democratic can
didate got the most votes and in view
of the letter of Elmer Thomas of
Omaha urging temperance people to
vote for the democratic candidate
some believe the prohibition party
this year have merged into the
democratic party this year. Officers
of the anti-saloon league contend
that they gave thousands of votes to
Sheldon. The prohibition vote this
year for Teeter, prohibition candi
date for governor, was 4,4 64. Four
years ago the party cast 6,32 3 votes
for presidental electors. The prohi
bition vote this year on other state
officers runs up to .,996.
The socialists did poorly this year.
They cast 3,06'J for governor while
four years ago the party cast 7,412.
The combined vote cast by all par
ties was 2 71,396 this year.
