FEWER ACCIDENTS IN
MECHANICAL WORK
Protective Devices and Caution of
Employes Results In Lower
Number of Deaths.
While no figures have yet been
made public, Hurlmgton railroad
officials declare that the number
of accidents has decreased ap
preciably in the mechanical de
partments and train service in (ho
past two years. At the Hurling
ton shops, belling and machinery
has been looked after so that em
ployes are safeguarded . from
danger to which they have here
tofore been exposed. Officials say
that besides the steps to protect
men belter in the service, the
Kospel of care is preached to them
at all times when they are en
gaged in an occupation which Is
somewhat hazardous. The men,
in turn, urge the exercise of , care
among I heir comrades. Railroad
employes are not expected in any
case to take any chances while on
duty that may result in loss. of
life or limb. Strict orders are
given switchmen and trainmen to
use the utmost watchfulness
when in the service. They are not
presumed to get between cars un
less absolutely necessary, and
then they must be sure that there
is no excessive danger. With the
use of automatic couplers, train
men and switchmen are not com
pelled to get between cars. Thev
need only stand to one side, out
side the rails, and make the con
nertion between cars. There has
been a great decrease in the loss
of life a:id in injuries in the last
few years.
One time the old link and pin
couplers, "man killers," they were
called, were in service. To make
a coupling switchmen had to walk
on the track directly between the
cars. Many couplings were made
on the run and a misstep meant
instant death.
Pleasantly Entertained.
The Ladies' Aid society of the
Presbyterian church was very
pleasantly entertained at the
home of Mrs. J. N. Wise yesterday
afternoon. The ladies held their
regular business session, at which
time (hey decided to purchase a
communion table, which will be
in the nature of a memorial for
the Ladies Aid society. After the
business session (be hours were
whilcd away in a most enjoyable
manner. The hostess had pre
pared some entertainment for her
guests in the shape of a game.
The guests had been divided into
two sides, each having the same
number. Miss Olive (lass and Miss
Marjorie Agnew were appointed
captains, while Mrs. L. W. (iade
acted as umpire. Kach was to
name some article to be sent to
the missionaries in foreign lands,
each article named to begin with
some certain letter and the article
named to be something the mis
sionaries are very much in need
of, each guest being rrmiircd to
name this article in a certain
length of lime. This created con
siderable amusement and in the
llnal count it was found that the
side of which Miss Gass was cap
tain had come out ahead and Miss
Oass was awarded with a bouquet
of pretty pink roses. During the
afternoon Mrs. Wise told of the
reunion of Plattsmouth people at
Lincoln, which was held at the S.
II. Alwood home recently, and
which proved very interesting to
the guests. A dainty luncheon was
then provided by Hie hostess, she
being assisted in serving by Mis
ses Alma Waterman and Marjorie
Agnew.

NO MORE SUNDAY
EXCURSION TRAINS
Abandoned by Burlington Several
Years Ago, and Now Other
Roads Follow Suit.
The Omaha Hee says low rate
Sunday excursions are things of
the past, so far as the Omaha
roads are concerned. This is the
edict that has gone forth, and dur
ing the summer none of these ex
cursions will he run from Omaha
or from other points on the sys
tem. The Hurlington discounten
anced and frowned upon the Sun
day excursions over the Nebraska
and western lines some years ago.
General Manager Holdrege has al
ways opposed them and con
sequently they have not been run
for years. Other roads have per
mitted them and have run them
into the state and into Iowa. But
there will be no more of them.
The roads centering at Chicago
and St. Louis placed the ban upon
Sunday excursions several weeks
ago, and now the Omaha roads
have followed suit.
Railroad managers contend
there is money in Sunday ex
cursions, but that the precedent
set is a bad one. F.xcursionists
leave the starting point sober, but
upon their return a large num
ber of them come back hilarious.
Another reason for the abandon
ment, say railroad managers, is
that the present idea of good rail
roading is to give employes as
much time for rest and recreation
as possible. A Sunday excursion
meant the entire day for a train
crew, returning home tired out
and not fit to work on the follow
ing tlay.
Mrs. Wm. A. Allen, Chacon,
New Mexico, had so severe a cough
that it nearly choked her to death.
Mr. Allen says: "We tried many
things without helping her, when,
by good luck, I got a bottle of
Foley's Honey and Tar Compound.
It helped her at once and llnally
cured her. It Is the best medicine
we ever used." For sale by F. G.

Half a Million Hoboes.
There are, according to esti
mate, half a million tramps in
this country, and the damage they
do lo railroads and other prop
erty is reckoned at $25.00(1,000.
That calls for brakes. The Prison
association of New York has be
gun a concerted movement
against "Willies." New York
is establishing a farm colony
where the same method will be
followed. Hut these, of course,
only serves lo drive the tramps to
other points, just as expelling
them from one community only
passes them to another. The
prison association wants concert
ed action under national auspies,
supported by the states, designed
to compel every vagrant dis
covered to go to work. The cost
of this treatment would be much
less, it is urged, than in temporiz
ing with the evil by mistaken
charity, and the railroads, as the
chief sufferers, are expected to
contribute to the movement. Small
communities, the chief prey of
tramps, cannot, it is pointed out,
afford to deal with them, but if
state provision were made, as in
Massachusetts and New York, the
agency would be at hand.
The remedy proposed has al
ready been tried with success in
Massachusetts, where following
the enactment of a law compelling
tramps to work for their meals
and lodgings, vagrancy was re
duced to comparatively nothing in
Iwo years.
THE COMMUNITY SPIRIT
What Texans Admire
is hearty, vigorous life, according
to Hugh Tallman, of San Antonio.
"We find," he writes, "that Dr.
King's New Life Pills surely put
new life and energy into a person.
Wife and I believe they are the
best made." Excellent for stom
ach, liver or kidney troubles. 25
cents at F. G. Fricke & Co.
Meet at Church.
The St. Mary's Guild met in the
basement of the church yesterday
afternoon for the purpose of
mending the choir robes. A most
enjoyable afternoon was had
mending, interspersed with social
conversation and other diversions.
There was a large number of the
ladies in attendance.
SHOULD PREDOMINATE
Luslness Life or a City Depends
on Development of a Com
Munity Spirit.
The remark was made by one of
the patriots in the revolutionary
war, "If we don't hang together,
we shall all hang separately."
How true this is in the business
Held I
The buyer of any commercial
house finds a great advantage in
making his purchases witti some
continuity and regularity. If he
buys first in one city and then in
another no one gets interested to
give him any trade advantages, no
one looks out to see that he is
well cared for. If he "hangs" to
no one, no one "hangs", to him,
and as a mere drifter, be "hangs"
separately in business life.
Precisely the same thing is true
of every family in the purchasing
of supplies for the home. If cer
tain supplies are bought by mail
order, others on trips to some
more or less distant city, no one
gets interested in attending to
that family's needs. If the fam
ily buys everything possible of its
home merchants it makes busi
ness friends in its home stores
who will protect it from decep
tions and see that it gels its
money's worth.
The whole business life of a city
like ours depends on the develop
ment of a community spirit. If
a feeling pervades our people that
in the long run we get the most
through the spirit of co-operating,
money will slay at home, and
all our enterprises will advance.
If Ibis spirit does not prevail, all
our enterprises will languish.
Jas. C. Dahhnan, serving hi
third term as mayor of Omaha,
Neb., again was successful in re
ceiving the overwhelming support
of the voters in the primary elec
tion. He also successfully rid
himself of a bad case of kidney
trouble by the aid of Foley Kid
ney Pills, and writes: "I have
taken Foley Kidney fills and they
have given me a great deal of re
lief, so I cheerfully recommend
them." What Foley Kidney Pills
have done for Mayor Dahlman
they will do for any other person
bothered with backache, rheuma
tism, or any other form of kidney
or bladder trouble. Just try them
for quick and permanent results.
