Last evening about 9 o'clock
occurred one of the most unfor
tunate and regrettable accidents
which has taken place in this vi
cinity since automobiles have
come into general use, resulting
in the complete destruction of a
tine Overland automobile belong
ing to John Wehrbein, and also
a, new carriage and the garage
containing these vehicles.
After supper last night Messrs.
Orval Kintz and Fred Hirz of this
city went out on the road west of
the city for a ride in the car which
the former recently purchased
from Arthur Kastwood. When
they approached the residence of
John Wehrbein, they discovered
that their supply of gasoline was
getting- very low. They accord
ingly proceeded to Mr. Wehr
bein's house to replenish the
supply, and as they did not find
that gentleman at home, they
proceeded to the garage, where
they found Mr. Wehrbein's 55 II
P. Overland with a full gasoline
tank.
As it was dark at the time and
not thinking of the danger from
fire, Mr. Hirz secured a lantern
and went to the garage to draw
some gasoline. In pouring out
the gasoline he spilled some of
the liquid down his coatsleeve,
and when he picked up the lan
tern the inflammable substance
caught fire. In his excitement he
threw his arm to one side, catch
ing the car, and in a moment car,
garage and all were in flames
There were, of course, no facili
ties at hand for extinguishing
such a blaze, and consequently
the young man could do nothin
toward saving the property which
thev had so unfortunately set fire
to. Mr. Wehrbein was visiting at
the home of Ralph Haynie, one of
his neighbors, at the time, and as
soon as he was apprised of the
fact that his garage was on fire,
he hastened to the scene, but was
too late to save anything. In
addition to the loss of the car
and the garage, Mr. Wehrbein
suffered the loss of a fine new
carriage, which he had but re
cently purchased.
The loss occasioned by the fire
will be rather heavy, as the car
was almost new, having been run
but G,000 miles, and the garage
was a substantial building.
Neither of these was covered by
insurance, although we under
stand that there was some insur
ance on the carriage. Messrs.
Hirz and Kintz of course feel very
badly over the affair, and will no
doubt make whatever reparation
is in their power to render Mr
Wehrbein.
The Journal wishes to express
great regret, and at the same time
point the warning which is con
tained, in regard to the necessity
for exercising the greatest cau
tion in the handling of such in
flammable and exposable sub
stances.

house, and among them were: F.

Farewell Reception to Mrs. Hilton.
Anticipating the departure of
Mrs. E. E. Hilton of this city for
Cincinnati, Ohio, where she will
make her future home, some of
the friends of this lady tendered
her a farewell reception last
evening at the home of Mrs. J. H.
McMaken, in the northwest part
of the city. A number of the
friends of Mrs. Hilton were pres
ent to extend their best wishes
and express their regret at losing
this most estimable lady from the
city in the near future. During
the course of the evening re
freshments were served and a
most enjoyable time was had by
all who were so fortunate as to
be numbered among those present.
Albert Fickler of Stanton, Ne
braska, arrived last evening from
his home, coming down to look
after some matters on the live
stock market at South Omaha
and took advantage of the oc
casion to drop down and visit

INTERESTING
BASE BALL GAME
NEXT SUNDAY
The Boosters to Tackle Another
Fast Team From the Me
tropolis Sunday.
The next opponents picked by
the Boosters for a game is to be
the team representing the Bour
geois company of Omaha, which
is one of the best of the new-
teams organized in the last few
weeks. This team last Sunday
did battle with the team rep
resenting Benning, and were suc
cessful in getting away with the
goat of the Bennington bunch
and they are very desirous of
coming here to line up against
the Boosters, and Manager John
son has decided to give them an
opportunity on next Sunday by
signing them up, and according
ly they will be here to give battle
to our sterlings on the diamond
The recent good showing of the
Boosters has been very pleasing
to the fans and they should show
their appreciation by turning ou
to aid the boys in adding another
victory from the firm represent
ing the Omaha supply house.
There has been a project under
discussion for .some time among
the members of the base bal
team and the management on the
question of new uniforms, as the
ones now used are really unfit for
service, and how to secure new
ones is getting to be a serious
question. It has been suggested
and it seems quite likely that
such a move will be made, and
that is to turn the receipts of two
games over to a fund that will be
used to purchase new uniforms
for the members in order that
they can present the proper ap
pearance on the diamond in
keeping with the standing of the
city. In order to secure suf
ficient funds in this manner
tickets will be sold throughout
the city and the proceeds will be
used in the work of providing the
uniforms for the boys. If the
movement is started there should
be no holding back on the
proposition and everyone should
try and contribute their share by
buying a ticket to the game.

The following account, taken
from the Brunswick Independent,
of a terrible accident that has be
fallen Charles A. Miller, or
"Whitey," as he is better known
here to a large number of the
residents of this city, and where
he made his home up to a few
years ago, when he removed to
near Creighton, Neb., to engage
in farming. The friends of
"Whitey" will be grief-stricken
to learn of his accident, but will
trust that he may recover from
the effects of it without any more
serious results:
Charles A. Miller, a farmer,
living five miles northwest of
town, narrowly escaped losing an
eye Tuesday afternoon when
kicked in the face by a young colt.
A gash was cut by the horse's
hoof just above and just below
the right eye and the lid was
badly torn.
Mr. Miller had been driving the
colt with an older horse and was
unhilehing when kicked. As he
leaned down to unfasten a tug
the qolt kicked, knocking him to
the ground. He was not render
ed unconscious and was able to
summon help. The injured man
was brought to the office of the
local physician, who, with the
assistance of Dr. Coe of Plain
view gave Mr. Miller medical
treatment. Forty-nine stitches
were necessary to close the
wounds. The lid was torn in the
corner and again in the center,
laying the eyeball bare, but no
injury will result to the eyesight
Mr. Miller is unmarried and lives
on the Art LeBeau farm.
Two Cures.
Mr. Thomas Konopka of Mid
dlelown. Conn., found himself in
a very bad condition when both
his wife and daughter were sick
at the same time. He says: "My
wife and little girl were both suf
fering from a bad stomach
trouble, which resisted all treat
ment. At last I gave them Trin-
er's American Elixir of Bitter
Wine, and to my greatest joy
both quickly regained their
health. I wish to recommend this
bitter wine to all suffering from
the stomach as a genuine remedy
and ; anl respectfully, Thomas
Konopa, 10 Union st., Middle
town, Conn." Triner's American
Elixir of Bitter Wine receives
such letters steadily and from
many sides, because its effect in
diseases of the stomach and the
bowels is remarkable, especially
when constipation is connected
with the disease. At drug stores.

The following article is copied from one of the
leading New York Millinery Reviews :
Large lace Hats and Panamas, the former flower trim
med, and the latter with wing, flower, or at least ribbon
trimmings, are to be the thing for mid-summer wear. .
. . Flowers this summer will be used more plentifully
than in several years, and ribbons continue in strong de
mand. . . . There is a growing demand for Leghorns,
and lace is strong, both for shapes and trimmings, where
it is used in combination with maline. . . . Moire rib
bons and Velvet ribbons, especially in black, are strong,
and many flowers, of which the small buds and forget-me-nots
are the best. . . . Paon blue is the best of the
colors, with black, white and burnt being also popular.
Any of the above mentioned shapes, and
trimmings can be found in our store, and oth
er equally good styles in Milan, Hemp. Pea
