THE INJURED
But Some of Them Will be Laid
Up for Some Days.
Little news has been received to
day from the gentlemen injured in
the automobile accident of last Tues
day near Humboldt but such news
as has come in i3 favorable for the
recovery of all of the parties. There
is practically no doubt now of the
recovery of William R. Cross, Sena
tor Banning or either Prof. Cheney
or L. R. Upton, the two latter having
slight injuries while the former are
more severe. Messrs. Cross and Ban
ning will be laid up to a greater or
less degree for some time to come,
especially Mr. Cross who sustained a
great many broken bones.
This morning's papers contain dis
patches from Humboldt to the effect
that Mr. Pierson's injuries are not
nearly so bad as thought at first and
that he will recover. lie has been
resting quietly since the accident but
has suffered considerably from shock.
He is not believed to be hurt inter
nally now and the first reports of
his injuries are regarded as much
exaggerated owing to the excitement
incident to the accident. It is be
lieved that he can be moved to his
home at Union is a short time, al
though his bruises are so severe that
, he will not be able to get about with
any comfort for quite a while. This
will be cheerful news for the many
friends of the gentleman who had
been badly worried over the first re
ports which indicated a very serious
condition.
That the five gentlemen escaped
death is regarded as little less mir
aculous. There is hardly an Instance
on record where a car going at the
high speed this one was, was wreck
ed and the occupants escaped with
out loss of life. That Messrs. Ban
ning, Pierson and Cross escaped af
ter being pinioned under the heavy
machine is looked upon as astonish
ing and automobilists are at a loss
to explain it.
According to dispatches In the
morning papers from Humboldt the
cause , of the accident , was running
at too high speed. The theory which
the driver, Prof. Cheney holds that
there was a defect in the steering
gear, does not seem to have taken
hold of the people in the locality of
the accident who lay the trouble

purely and simply on too fast run
ning. Mr. Pierson's injuries so far as
ascertained consisted of a broken col
lar bone and a fractured rib in ad
dition to the numerous cuts and
bruises which he sustained. These
injuries it was thought were com
plicated by internal injuries but a
later examination revealed this was
not the case.
Steps to regulate the speed of
autos on the roads in the country
will be speedily accentuated by a few
more injuries of the character which
these men sustained as they furnish a
bright object lesson upon the Insan
ity of driving over country roads at
so great a speed. Cool, calm Judg
ment have dictated slower time over
a dirt road as it is at times liable to
throw a machine and from what Is
said It seems safe to say none of
the parties in this wreck will be
caught driving at top speed in the
very near future.
A Serious Accident.
While coming up from Murray
last evening, we met on the train
George W. Braezele, the proprietor
of the 0ford hotel at Avoca. He had
one of his eyes all bandaged, and
on inquiry we learned that he met
with quite a serious accident yester
day morning, while assisting on the
reconstruction of a bridge near the
depot in that village. It seems he was
driving a large spike, when the same
flew back, the point striking him in
the left eye. It went into the eye
several Inches and had to be pulled
out. He was en route to see Dr.
Glfford at Omaha, accompanied by
a brother from Talmage and Dr. B.
F, Brendel, of Murray. While Mr.
Braezele was suffering considerable
pain, it is thought that Dr. Gifford
will be able to relieve him and pos
sibly save the eyesight. It is truly
hoped so.

C. H. Vallery came in this after
noon from his home in the precinct
and was a passenger on train No. 23
for the north. He bad an exciting
time catching the train, being hur
ried down to the Burlington station
by William Volk in his auto after the
train had pulled Into the station.

Married in (kmalia.
A marriage license issued yester
day at Omaha to Leonard Openhau
sen, aged 21, and Miss Mary Warner,
aged 19, both of Mynard, revealed
to the many friends of these young
people that they had quietly stolen
away yesterday to Omaha and got
married. The young folks boarded
the morning Burlington train for
that city at this place yesterday morn
ing along with several personal
friends and made the trip to Omaha
where they had the knot tied. They
arrived at the Burlington station just
a few moments before the train left,
having carefully timed their arrival
so that parties here would know
nothing of their Intentions. They are
very popular young people of the
precinct and have many good friends
In that locality who will wish them
the best of luck upon their matri
monial venture.
The groom is a well known young
man of this county who has made
himself a reputation for industry and
thrift and who is regarded as a very
bright and capable man.
The bride is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Charles Warner and is a
very popular young lady. She has
many attainments of much merit and
is justly considered one of the bells
of her neighborhood. The young
folks returned to this city last even
ing and later went to their home in
the country. They will make their re
sidence near here and engage in
farming.
In sickness, if a certain hidden
nerve goes wrong, then the organ
that this nerve controls will also sure
ly fall. It may be a Stomach nerve,
or it may have given strength and
support to the Heart or Kidneys. It
was Dr. Shoop that first pointed to
this vital truth. Dr. Shoop's Restor
ative goes directly to those failing
Inside nerves. The remarkable sue
cess of this prescription demonstrates
the wisdom of treating the actual
casseof these failing organs. A sim
ple five or ten days test will surely
tell. Try It once and see! Sold by-

Appendicitis.
Dr. F. Taner of London says ap'

Not that the preservatives themselves
are dangerous to health, but the de
composed food they disguise does
We wish to call the attention of our
readers to that especially during the
hot season and wish to impress up
on them the necessity of buying per
fectly fresh foodstuffs. Many dis
eases of the bowels can be prevent

slightest indisposition you should use

ager, G. R. Olson, is more than well
pleased with the progress which the

He has a total of over four hundred
Inquiries regarding the machine and

The first machine from the fac
tory went out yesterday afternoon
and it is billed to a prominent photo
grapher of Reading, Pa., one who
studied the printing sent him and ex
amined thea pictures of the machine
and became convinced it was a win

right without asking trial. The se
cond machine went to Gary.. Ind..
where a similar condition existed
while the third goes to Lynn, Mass.,
where the live wire who received the
printed matter saw its advantages
and ordered one without discussion.

shipped out are all the electric light
model and operate upon a continuous
current. The daylight only machines
have not yet met with a heavy sale
but the general demand seems to be
for a machine to print by electric
light and this is the strong feature
of the Olson machine. The machine
itself is a beautiful appearing piece
of machinery with a handsome oak
finish and with nickled parts which
form a pleasing contrast to the eye.
Mr. Olson is confident the sight of
the machine will aid largely In sell
ing it and Is proud of the high class
appearance It puts up.
It is being carefully pucked for
shipment and goes euclosed In good
strong boxes which will stand the
tear of handling and deliver the ma
chine In good shape.
It is the Intention oT r. Olson
to take several models of his ma
chine with him to Milwaukee, Wis.,
where he will attend a convention
of photographers from Canada, Mex
ico and the United States, this gath
ering being In the nature of an in
ternational convention. This will be
in session on July 12 and Is the
banner photographic event of the
year. Mr. Olson proposes to show
models of his daylight machine, his
electric light machine and his combi
nation machine on the floors of the
convention and is confident the won
derful work which It docs will appeal
to all who will be there. He also
expects to attend a convention to bo
held In Boston, Mass., on July 26,
when the New Englnnd photograph
ers will assemble and to exhibit the
machine before them.
The Olson factory is one of the
Institutions which Plnttsmouth can
well be proud of. Organized and

capital, it bids fair to pay Its promo
ter and the business men behind it
