Sherman of the state 'industrial school,' was president of the meeting and made an able presiding officer. The work of the debaters was exceptionally fine in all respects and, as stated above, the Judges were divided in opinion as to their respective merits. The question under discussion was, "ltesoivea, mat L,aoor uispuies in the Railroad Business Should be Settled by Boards of Arbitration With Compulsory Powers," and the affirm ative side was taken by Plattsmouth whose class was composed of Misses Josephine Hall and Marie Douglas and Mr. John Falter, while the nega tive was taken by Messrs Smith, Ross and O'Hanna of Blair.

The Rank of Commerce has for years been one of the most sub stantial banking institutions in the state and this Increase In the capital stock Is an indication of its sta bility and soundness. What better signs have we of the prosperity of the country than to have a prosperous banking Institution and one that is ever Increasing. Within the past few days the Bank of Commerce has ad ded a reception room to Its already spacious compartments and other wise beautified the Interior of the building. Louisville Courier. Narrowly F Tapes Blood Poisoning From Saturday's Dally. Several days since Phil E. Becker, living west of the, city, had the mis fortune to hurt his hand by mash ing and bruising It. He had a new pair of gloves at the time and, as the hand did not give him much trouble at the time ho did not worry over it. Later he made a trip to Elm wood and while ho was there his hand began to pain him and swell up. He made several trips to a physician who found that the hand had become Infected and thst blood poisoning had set In. The hand was given treatment, and Mr. Becker re turned to his home. He continued the treatment and It Is now getting along finely but It was a narrow es cape from severe trouble with It. It Is not believed that there will be any more serious trouble in the fu ture and It Is hoped that the hand will soon be In shape for use. Unfortunate Woman. " From Saturday's Dally. Mrs. Emma Handrock, wife of Ernest Handrock, who lives In Cass county, waB brought up from Walton In Lancaster county Thursday even ing by Deputy Shei iff DawBon and is held at the county Jail as as insane person, pending negotiations on prog ress to turn her over to the custody of the Cass county authorities. Mrs. HanuioiK nas conceived the Idea that nhe bought the Lowrey farm of a quarter of a section at Wal ton. Some time ago she walked from Eagle over to Walton, a distance of about eight miles, and looked over the house which the owner of the farm, Mr. T. A. Gierens of this city, had been occupying, and In the tem porary absence of the tenant, J. T, Wright, went Into the barn and threw down a lot of feed for the stock Into the mangers. At that time Mr Hornby, a neighbor, Induced her to go back home. Wednesday afternoon she again hoofed It over the eight miles and again started In to take possession of the place, until the neighborhood be- caine alarmed and telephoned the sheriff to come and get her. Deputy Sheriff Dawson started with an as sistant, and the two had a brisk wres tle all the way tn Lincoln In bringing her to this city. Mrs. Handrock has a brother In tho asylum for the Incurable at Hast ings. Sheriff Hoagland received word Thursday afternoon from the sheriff of Cass county that an officer from that county would start for Lincoln Immediately to take Mrs. Handrock back. Lincoln Star. Supt.

The deceased was born In Living ston county, 111., on September 9, 1885. .A year later her parents came to Nebraska settling at Lincoln whero they lived for a number of years. moving from there to Nebraska City the animal flat on Its back with the derson, the other son, lives at Can- Rnd Home f,ve ypRnj ago comlng to Is a finished singer with good voice and her singing was much appre ciated. After the close of the debate and nnouncement of the winners and the decision of the Judges, a re ception was tendered the visiting class and the members of the faculty ho accompanied them by the senior and debating classes of the high school. Ice cream and wafers were served as refreshments. The debate was In every Bense of the word a success and the dlsnp- Tlio Difference. While the terms are used synon polntment of the local schools does (niously, we believe that thire Is a not prevent them recognizing the distinction between the words "kick splendid ability of the winning con- er" and "knocker." As a kicker we testants. Another account of this understand one who clamorously debate will be given later from an- objects whenever anything comes to other source. Agnln Ills PoMof Duty. Col. M. A.
