Receives $400 in Settlement for Her Claim Against the Company
for the Death of Her Husband, Tracey Graham, in the Shop
Yards in This City Some Time Ago.
On Tuesday last Ruth May Ora
ham, widow and administratrix
of the estate of Tracy Allen Gra
ham, the young Burlington fire
man, wno was run. over and Killed
in the yards February 27th last,
filed a suit in the county court,
praying a judgment of $100 dam
ages. Mrs. Graham alleged in her
petition the facts brought out at
the coroner's inquest. That her
husband was going to his work,
which was that of fireman, and
rightfully walking on the com
pany's track. That the engine
which ran over him was operated
by the company's agents, and that
while running at an unwarranted
rate of speed, with no warning
whatever, negligently ran over
and mangled the deceased, inflict
ing wounds from which he died
within a few hours. She also al
leged that Mr. Graham was earn
ing $1,000 per year, which was
the only source of maintenance
for herself and husband. Alleg
ing that plaintifT had been dam
aged in the sum of $400.
Summons was issued by Judge
Beeson at once and made return
able on the first Monday in May,
but a few minutes later Attorney
Robertson, for the company, filed
an answer, denying negligence on
the part of the company and al
leging negligence on the part of
deceased.
Witnesses were present, includ
ing Mr. Majors, the engine
hostler, who was in charge of the
engine at the time the accident
occurred, Mrs. Graham and
others. The plaintiff was rep
resented by G. A. Rawls, attorney
Majors testified that at the
point where the engine struck de
ceased he could not be seen from
the position the hostler was oc
cupying at the time. He also
testified that Mr. Graham was in
the habit of walking with his
head down and in a preoccupied
state. At the time referred to the
engine was backing from the
round-house to the coal chutes,
coasting along at about eight
miles an hour, with steam shut
off.
After hearing the evidence,
journal entry of the judgment
prepared by the attorneys was
presented and a draft for $ 400,
the amount of the judgment,
turned over to the court, who en
dorsed the draft to Mrs. Graham
and took her receipt for the judg
ment. The matter was all closed
up within a short time.

ARE MICROBES
IH YOUR SCALP?
It Has Been Proved That Microbes
Cause E'aldness.
Professor Una of Hamburg,
Germany, and Dr. Sabourand, the
leading French ' dermatologist,
discovered dial a microne causes
baldness. Their theory has time
and again been-amply verified
through research experiments
carried on under the observation
of eminent scientists. This
microbe lodges in the Sebum,
which is the natural hair oil, and
.when permilted to-flourish it 'de-'
slroyes the hair follicles and in
time the pores entirely close, and
the scalp gradually takes on a
shiny appearance... When this
happens there is no hope of the
growth of hair being revived.
We have a remedy which will,
we honestly believe, remove dand
ruff, exterminate the microbe,
promote good circulation in the
scalp and around the hair roots,
tighten and revitalize the hair
roots, and overcome baldness, so
long as there is any life left in
the hair roots.
We back up this statement with
our own personal guarantee that
this ermedy called . Rexall "03"
Hair Tonic will be supplied free
of all cost to the user if it fails
to d as we state.
It will frequently help to re
store gray and faded hair to its
original color, providing loss of
color has been caused by disease;
yet it is in no sense a dye. Rexall
"03" Hair Tonic accomplishes
these results by aiding in making
every hair root, follicle and pig
ment gland strong and active, and
by stimulating a natural flow of
coloring pigment throughout the
hair cells.
We exact no obligations or
promises we simply ask you to
give Rexall "03" Hair Tonic a
thorough trial arid if not satisfied
tell us and we will refund the
money. you paid us for it. Two
sizes, prices 50 cents and $1.00
Remember, you can obtain it in
Plallsmouth only at our store

An Amedment to Constitution
Creating Board of Commission
ers for State Institutions.
All voters interested in the wel
fare of our state hospitals, peni
tentiary, reformatory institu
tions, etc., are urged to take an
active interest in the adoption of
Amendment No. 3 on the ballot
this year, entitled "A Proposed
Amendment to the Constitution of
Nebraska Creating a Board of
Commissioners for State Institu
tions."
The adoption of this amend
ment will have the effect of plac
ing the control of these institu
tions in the hands of a board
which will have for its object the
placing of superintendents and
employes in the institutions on
the merit system. This will be in
contradistinction to the method
heretofore in vogue in Nebraska
whereby the institutional posi
tions have been looked upon as
perquisites to be dealt out in the
form of rewards for those who
were most active politically.
In other states it has long been
recognized that as nearly as pos
sible these appointments should
be governed by merit and that
non-partisan control contributes
to the efficiency of management
and renders the conduct of such
institutions more economical than
where frequent changes in ad
ministration are made for
political or other reasons.
Amendment No. 3 as already
pointed out offers a solution for
this difficulty in Nebraska and
should have the vole and active
support of everyone interested in
the conduct of our stale., institu
tions. .
