From Fritlny's Iaily. Aii accident thai almost result.-,! fatally for F.xerclt Wile- of this cilv imtiiiti'iI xestcrdav! about 1 o'clock, jul smith of this city on ihe nai! leading l .Murray, w Ii-ii the small auto mobile In a- driving ran f of 1 1 1 - bridge a 1 1 1 i I or mi south of tin 1 " ii i I t-i I I'rethrcn church. Mr. Wiles, in company with Connie ;rebc. started from their homes about '! o'clock to enjoy a short ride, and they finall I i 1 to go out lo the home of .Mr. Wiles' father, xxho win injured Tuesday afternoon by falling from his Iri n ir wiitmi. ami they xvere go ing along at a low raff of speed. j is claimed, when they ap proached the bridge, ami 1I r "'t I seencd to lost control of thf ma chine, ami the danger being- ap parent that I hy would run jtf of lln1 bride. Connie jumped from tin automobile, landing along the road-id' unharmed, hut Wiles was unable to get out ami xva carried oxer tin sid of the bridge in the car. and as the ma chine turm-d over lie xvas pinned beneath it and suffered severe injuries. as hi- left leg was broken, as well as very dangerous internal injuries being inllieted upon him. The full xxeight of the machine- rested on the body of young Wiles, pinning him to the ground until Connie was able to pry it up sufliciently to pet him out. and he then hurried to a neighboring farm house, where assistance was secured and the unfortunate man placet! on a stretcher ami brought to town, where medical assistance was summoned ami the victim of the accident made as easy as possible and it is llmusht that he will probably recover from the ac cident, although his injuries arc very serioii-. II is almost a miracle that Wiles was not in stantly killed in the fall of the car. as it alighted right on his body, ami he can thank himself that it was not a very large and heavy machine, or he would have surely been killed. This noon the patient was in a very critical condition ami his family were greatly alarmed over his recovery, as it is feared the internal injuries may result in his death. II is left arm appears to hae been badly sprained in I he fall, while he has received a very severe injury to his left hip. ami if he survives the accident he will be unable to he around for weeks. lie seems o be gradual ly growing weaker ami his con dition is very low. so as to give but little hope for his recovery, but all that i possible is being done to sae his life.

It is necessary lo keep hirn packet! in ice constantly to try and reduce the inflammation which has given him a great deal of pain. NOTICE.

The performance of "Mc carty's Mishaps" at the parniel iiieaier laM exerting drew a crowded house ami the play was well name. I a mishap ami it was a bigger mistake that the actors were allowed to appear on the stage, as it was without a doubt the poorest show thai has been gixen in the I'armele in a long time, and this was the senti ment of the large audience, who Were Compelled to undergo the torture of witnessinir the so- j called actors perform their antics j on the .s. I aire, because it Would be to pre at a stretch of the im npiration to call it acting. This kind of shows ar.d companies is what is putting the (healers on the "bum" throughout the coun try, ami their imposition tin the public hurts the srood companies that follow (hem. and if the jfatronage is to be kept up it will he necessary for the management to make careful inquiries of the character of the plays before they are hooked. The play and com pany were both decidedly "rot ten." ami it is really unfortunate for the reputation of (he theater that they hail any house at all. FACTORY TRANSFERED TO MR. LEE 6. SHARP From Friday's Daily. The transfer of the plant of the gasoline engine factory in this city to the management of I.. C. Sharp of Omaha, mention of which was made in Wednes day's issue of the Journal, was consuinaletl 'yesterday ami Mr. Sharp will be given charge uf the institution ami expects shortly to establish a machine shop and foundry in the factory building. He will employ a number of men here in the making of different pieces of machinery for his plant in Omaha, and may, if the con ditions warrant, establish his manufactury of the famous ice (ream machines here, as the situation here js much better than in Omaha. It is certainly a pleasure to see this plant pass into the hands of Mr. Sharp, as he will put it in the place where it properly belongs and is cer tain to employ five or six men here most of the time, and if be can see his way clear for the re moval of the cone factory to (his city will have several additional hiirh class machinists employed here ami enlarge the plant as the business prows, as Mr. Sharp be lieves in the gradual expansion of the plant, and there is no doubt that he will make if a splendid success in every way. Mrs. West About the Same. From Friday's Daily. The reports from the bedside of Mrs. Carl West in Omaha, re ceived in this cily yesterday and this morning indicate that she is about the same, although a slipht improvement was noticeable yes terday, which gives the family and friends hopes for her re covery, althouph her condition is still very low and there is but lit tle that can be stated for certain as to lier condition.

At the next meeting of the Commercial club to be held this month the officers for the ensuing year will be elected, and it is of vital importance that men of push and energy are selected for the positions and there should be no question about the man for president of the organization, ami that man is the present ex ecutive. Henry A. Schneider. Mr. Schneider has during the year he has held the otlice been unceas ing in his efforts for (he cily ami its people ami he has taken off his coal and worked dav and night for every proposition he thought would prne of material benefit to Plattsrnouth. He was in the fore-front of the contest for the new jail and pushed, with the as- istance of the committee on transportation, the iixing up of the Hurlinglon depot and also secured a concession from the Missouri Pacific on train service and numerous other acts that proved of vital importance to the own. Mr. Schneider does not de sire a re-election to the otlice. but if there is any possible way in which he can be compelled to ac cept it should be used, as we have need of such men who will labor for the betterment of the city, ami ill of his efforts have been with in! recompense and at a sacrifice if both time and money to him. but he has done all of this and done if jn a praisworthy manner. and the loss of his services as the pusher of the club would be keen ly felt and there should be a con- enlraled effort made to have him retain the office for another year.
