Tlie road dray is one of the

will prove a boon to not only the
man who has the satisfaetion of

thing for the betterment of him

rompoMe.l to travel over the high

MYSTERIOUS ACCIDENT
NEAR NEHAWKA TO
A YOUNG FARMER
From Tuesday's Dany.
A very serious accident is re
ported from the vicinity of Ne
hawka, which occurred early Sat
urday morning on the Frank
Sheldon farm, two miles south of
that place. Albert Alford. who.
together with his brother, lives
on the place, was found lying in
the barnyard in an unconscious
condition, and as he had gone out
to milk it is supposed he was
kicked by one of the cows. The
man was unconscious for several
hours and has not as yet-re-,
covered enough to give a lucid
account of the accident, as his
mind seems somewhat clouded
and he cannot tell how the ac
cident befell hint. A large Con
tused sped was found back of his
left ear and the exact way that:
tie received it is a deep mystery,
as it seems strange he could gPt
kicked there by the cow. The
home of the Al ford's was visited
by the terrible tornado of March
23. this year, ami the mother of
the two boys was killed in the
storm and since that time they
have resided alone on the farm.
The outcome of this case will be
watched with interest by the
residents of that locality and if
will be hard to find out the truth
of the matter until the man re-
covers ttie use of his mind.

Last eveni'iip" Miss Violet Itodpe
returned 'home from Missouri
Valley, Iowa, where site had been
for the past season enpapred in
trimminp- for the millinery store
of M. J'anper in that city. Miss
Itodpe has a very artistic sense.
and while workinp- in this city
turned out. some very handsom'
hats, anil her stay in Missour
Valley has boon a preat sticce

ROLES FOR THE
Mail Carrier Will No Longer Be
Able to Do Errands for
Friends.
Hereafter all rural mail mat
ter deposited if) the boxes to 1
paiherod up lev l lie carrier- must
bo stamped before boinp; placed
in the boxes, otherwise it may
not he taken up. J-or ine accom
modation of farmers and others
who may not have the necessary
taunts on hand, money mav be
left in the boxes to pay the
amount, of postage required, but
it must ie deposited m coin-
holding- receptacles and no
placed losely in the boxes
wrapped m paper or placed in
envelopes.
Rural carriers were also notifi
ed of another important; rulinp by
the postollice department. Here
after all fourth-class postonie.es
will be closed on Sundays and
hotjtiavs, and rural teller car-
riers will no hmper be required
to work one hour on such nays
preparing mail that accumulates
for I hem at such postotTices.
Still another ruling1 that will
not add anything- to the value or
the service, but will prevent all
of the rural carriers being" the
naturally good fellow
they really
are, was also made puhlic. Here
after no carrier will bo permitted
to do any kindly errands for his
patrons in return for the many
kind attentions they are con
stantly giving him. He cannol
oarrv anylhinp- either to or from
his route unless it bears the full
number of stamps. In return for
the gift of a watermelon on a hot
and thirsty day he cannot even
carry a phial of paragoric for the
sick baby of that household. This
order is evidentlv inspired bv a
motive to get. the money and not
to reserve the good will of the
patrons and thus make it pleas
ant or for the carriers.

From Wednesday's raily.
This morning- Mr. A. Perry, an

miles south of this city, in com
pany with his daughter, departed
for Omaha, where Mr. Perry will
consult a specialist in regard to
an affliction that has befallen
him. For' the past several
months Mr. perry has been un
able to have the use of his right
foot, as it is as cold and lifeless
as if it were dead, and just what
is the matter has greatly puzzled
his physicians and it is a very
difficult matter to determine,
whether the unfortunate man is
suffering from a form of
paralysis or not, and he was ad
vised to seek the advice of the
specialists on the matter.

trict of Columbia, held in Wash
ington. November C, Head Consul
A. It. Talbot was unanimously
endorsed for re-election to that
posit ion- next year, and his work
for the order commended. This
is interesting to the people of the
state of Nebra-ka, as the national
executive headquarters of the
Modern Woodmen are located in
"Lincoln and will continue in that
city if Mr. Talbot is re-elected.
The Woodmen operate in prac
tically eory stale of the union
and in four northwestern Caua-
iian provinces, consequently the
direction of the activities of this
order from Lincoln has been of
much benefit to the cily.
A foal ure of the Washington
mooting was the address of Sec
retary of Stale William .1. Mryan,
who has been a member of the
Modern Woodmen for twenty-live
ears. holding memhersNip in
Capital City camp No. tint of
Lincoln. Mr. T'ryan paid an in
teresting tribute to Hie present
chief executive. Among other
things he said:
"My friends, if is. a great thing
to hao at the head of a great
order, in a position of such tre
inendons power and influence, a
man who-e moral character has
too, the test and will give him
stn-nglh for the discharge of the
lulies that may fall to him.
' However men may differ as to
the question of rates, I regard the
question or raies as ni ine
greatest question that come- bo
on a fraternity. I Ihink there
are other questions in the frater
nity that are more important
than the question of rates. Hut
however the next head camp may
decide the question of rates, it
will not shake my failh in the
purpose, the good intent, and the
interest of this great, strong.
ighleous man in the cause that
s so dear to his heart, and to the
growth and success of which he
as contributed so largely by his
wisdom and by his executive
ability.
"I am glad therefore to be here,
am plad to bo here to testify to
the benefits of the fraternity in
general. I am glad to bo here to
estify to the great influence that
tas heen exerted for goo,i hy tins
fraternity in particular. I am
happier .-till to he able to testify
o the character of the man whom
have known from the time he
ntered upon manhood's estate.

that firmness of Christian char
acter, with that loftiness of ideals
that have made it possible for
