Lincoln News of last evening con tains the following: "The first accident of a serious nature that has ever occurred at the Y. M. C. A. plunge took place yester day afternoon, being the result of a practical joke and the weakened con dition of the victim, who had recently undergone , an operation ; for ap pendicitis. John Wllhelm, a student from Havelock, came near drowning after having been pushed into the plunge by a friend. It was fifty-five minutes after tie. was rescued from the plunge before his eyes opened. When he first struck the water he be gan to swim, then threw up his hands and sank. A number of boys were swimming in the pool at the time. They began calling for "Dawson," too frightened to go to Wilhelm's aid. F. G. Dawson, who was a considerable distance away at the time, ran to Wilhelm's assistance, jumping Into the pool and towing him ashore. "Wllhelm had been practicing basket ball and later had taken a shower bath. Then he went to the plunge room and was standing near the edge of the pool when a friend pushed him in. "After Mr. Dawson had towed him to the shore A. M. Eafon assisted Mr. Dawson to carry Wllhelm to the physical director's office. Wllhelm was unconscious. George Pinneo, the physical director, and Dawson worked over Wllhelm for about half an hour In an effort to revive him. At the end of this time he was still unconscious. They sent for Dr. Fred Elche. It was forty-five minutes from the time,. Wll helm was taken from the water until his eyes first opened. "It was though by the doctor that Wllhelm was In a weak condition from JuBt recovering from an opera tion and that this, on top of playing basket ball all afternoon, weakened his vitality. The sudden shock of the cold water was too much for him and he succumbed to what is known as 'cramps.' ( "It is a familiar trick at the Y. M. C. A. plunge for boys In a spirit of fun to push their friends overboard. The ,plunge water Is very cold and mnnv nf th hnvn ttnm nnrlo vlMlma "rii-- ,..,,-....-,... of., a joke have Just come from the gymnasium and are covered with perspiration. The sudden Bhock of the cold water Is severe." The F. G. .Dawson referred to Is Fred of this city, who Is at present as sistant Instructor in the Y. M. C. A Fred Is quite a swimmer, as well as an athlete, and possesses plenty of courage to act In the moment of need, and the above incident is but a sample of his heroism. Fred's Platts mouth chums are all proud of his manhood. When her child Is In danger a woman will risk her life to protect it. No great act of heroism or risk of life Is necessary to protect a child from croup. Give Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and all danger Is avoided. For sale by F. G. Fricke & Co. Kvample for Other Farmers. Mr. R. L. Propst of Mynard, one of the progressive farmers of Mynard, Is entitled to a vote of thanks from the vicinity of that village as the first man on the road this spring with a split log drag, and was engaged this afternoon " dragging the roads ad jacent to his farm. If every farmer whose land abuts on a public high way would follow Mr. Propst's ex ample what a pleasure It would he to ride over the roads thus treated, and It is a great help to one desiring to haul a load over the road. The farms in the neighborhoods where the drag Is used freely are worth more per acre' than In a locality where the road gets no attention.

THAT COUNTY SCHOOL TAX PROPOSITION BILL Another bill calculated to make the county the unit is that school bill for levying a county school tax of not less than 10 mills, to be distributed among the various districts in the same manner as the state apportion ment of school funds. Under this law the county Is the unit, Instead of the school district, as Is now the case. Under this law, also, taxes that would be collected froni the cltl8 would go Into the county fund, and a share of it distributed in all the other districts of the county on a per capita basis of pupils therein, but In asmuch as the country districts would also he taxed, and that the city would share therein, the exchange might not be unfair, the best of the bargain de pending largely upon the per capita value of property each may contain as measured by their respective school populations. If the value of country property per capita of school population Is greater than that of the city property then the city would get the best of the deal. If the value of city property Is greater per capita of school popula tion, then the country will profit from the change. Tho purpose Is to make the stronger districts help pay for the schools of the weaker ones.
