RECALLING AN
INCIDENT OF THE
CIVIL IB TIME
In Which the Late Dr. Livingston of
This City and Col. Tom Majors
of Peru Figured.
One evening-; away back in 1891
Thomas J. Majors, then lieutenant
'governor, sat in the office of the old
Optlt hotel at Lincoln, when a man
clad in a great fur coat entered. The
newcomer paused on the edge of the
group of Majors' admirers a moment,
and then, pushing his way through,
slapped the Peru statesman upon the
bac k.
"Colonel Majors, how do you do!"
Majors looked up, and after study
ins the features, replied:
"Your face is familiar; but I don't
place you."
"My name is John Glover."
"Shadows of Church Howe!" ex
claimed Majors. "John Glovei! John
Glover!"
"Gentlemen," continued Majors,
turning to the crowd, "this is John
Gl ver, who drove the hospital
wagon in the First Nebraska, and
from the fall of 18GG until now I have
never seen him."
Then the two comrades sat down,
and turned their recollections loose.
Glover is now operating a hack in
Lincoln. When the First Nebraska
pas-ed through Missouri. John Glover
joined in the march, and fought with
Majors from Pilot Knobb to and over
the hills where Joe Shelby's thou
eand cattle roamed, to the heart of
Arkansas. After a separation of
twenty-four years, the two met again
and recognition was prompt.
An interesting incident was called
to mind. Majors was major of the
First Nebraska. At West Plains, Mis
souri, near the Arkansas line, three
common thieves were captured, and
becruie they pilfered from the help
less, were sentenced to be shot. The
late Dr. Livingston of Plattsmouth
was surgeon of the regiment, and it
became his duty to witness the execu
tion and formally pass upon the
Ie?th. Chancing to pass Majors, Dr.
Livingston invited him to accom
pany him. Majors started to accom
pany the doctor; while nearing the
place of execution, Majors halted.
"Here, Doc," said he, "you have to
ce this; I don't. I'm not chicken
hearted, but I dislike to see a man
shot down in cold blood."
Without further words the major
of the regiment started upon a re
treat. He had gone but a few steps
when the sound of indiscriminate fir
ing was heard. The three condemned
men, drawn up in line, stood before
their open graves, and before their
designs could be frustrated, broke
and ran in three directions. The
guards were in hot pursuit. Out in
the direction where Majors stood,
one of the condemned men ran. Not
J00 yards away a soldier overtook
him. The soldier covered the fugi
tive with a revolver and fired. The
shot missed 'its mark. Again the
soldier fired, and once more the bul
let sped into space. The fugitive
halted, and wheeling in his tracks
deliberately rushed toward the soldier
Seizing a heavy stick, the fugitive
struck down his armed assailant.
Majors rushed to the fallen soldier's
aid, when the fugitive seized the dead
soldier's gun and raising it, rushed
at -Majors. It was the proceeding of
a moment. Quick as a flash, Majors
drew his own revolver and shot the
fugitive dead in his tracks. It was
a ttrange ruling of fate which de
creed that the man who retreated
from the scene where a human being
was to be executed, shou!d. wi-hiii a
few moments subsequent to that dis
play of tenderness, be called upon to
take that life by his own hand.

Best Thing for a Bilious Attack.
. "On account of my confinement in
the printing office I have for years
been a chronic sufferer from indiges
tion and liver trouble. A few weeks
ago I had an attack that was so
severe that I was not able to go to
the case for two days. Failing to get
any relief from any other treatment,
I toofc three of Chamberlain's Tablets
and the next day I felt like a new

The firm of J. H. McMaken, which
has had the contract for leveling up
the grounds surrounding the county
jaii, ha3 placed the surroundings in
nice shape and the whole lot has been
sown down with grass seed and in a
short time should make a very at
tractive grass plot. This is a much

it in fixing up the lawn.
EXTENDING THE CM
WATER (MBS 10 POINTS
WHERE HMD NEEDED
The residents of the west part of
the city along Oak street are very
much pleased -over the recent action
of the city council in granting their
request for the extension of the water
mains out there, and it will given
them the much-needed fire protection,
as well as service from the water
company for their private consump
tion. This is a notable achievement,
as the residents of that section of the
city have for years been constantly
endeavoring to secure this much need
ed improvement, and now that it is
granted they feel that they have se
cuied something that is well worth
the long and arduous fight they had
to make to secure it. Heretofore the
nearest fire hydrant has been on
Locust street just west of the green
house of Stenner Brothers, and this
did not allow the residents further
west much protection from fire, as it
would require almost ail the hose in
the department to reach from this
hydrant to the location of the pro
posed hydrant.
Those who wore at all familiar with
the situation in the west part of the
city have long recognized the need of
a hydrant there for fire protection,
and it certainly will be a move ap
preciated. A great many of the resi
dents in that part of the city ami
those who have lots in Oak Hill ceme
tery have been agitating the matter
of extending the mains on out to the
cemetery in order that an adequate
water supply may be had, and in some
instances several have volunteered to
contribute liberally to a private fund
to assist in seeing that the work was
carried out. To make this extension
would require the expenditure of a
laige amount of money by the city,
and it is almost out of the question to
do so, but with the contributions of
private parties to aid in the work it
might be possible in the future to
place the water mains out to Oak Hill
and supply a sufficient amount of wa
ter for the proper care of that in
stitution, as well as to allow the resi
dents along the way to secure such
ser.ice as they need. These are all
matters of public improvement that
should be carefully considered by the
citizens.

Whooping Cough.
"When my daughter had whooping
cough she coughed so hard at one time
that she had hemorrhage of the lungs
I was terribly alarmed about her con

TERRIBLE AUTO
MOBILE ACCIDENT
AT LOUISVILLE
Mrs. E. F. Stcinhaus Probably Fatally
Injured and Her Little l-Year-()ld
Babe Instantly Killed.
A tragedy that threw the entire
city into a feeling of the deepest
glocm occurred Saturday afternoon
at Louisville and caused the death of
the 1-year-old babe of Mr. and Mrs.
E. F. Steinhaus.
It seems that Mrs. Steinhaus was
standing in the door of the automobile
garage at her home, where her hus
band has quite an extensive business
in the way of looking after and re
pairing machines, end the little babe
was in a small perambulator besiJe
her when the accident occurred that
cost the life of the little one and the
injury of the mother. William Iau,
a prominent farmer of that section,
haci stored his car in the garage and
was just preparing to start out an 1
was cranking the machine, the engine
of which was in reverse gear, and as
soor. as the crank was turned the ma
chine shot backward through the door
of the garage and knocked Mrs. Stein
haus down and the heavy wheels pass
ed over her chest, crushing her in
bad shape and inflicting very serious
internal injuries from which it is not
thought she will recover. The per
ambulator in which the child was sit
ting was demolished by the car as it
stiuck it and the little babe thrown to
the walk with its little neck broken
as the result of the force of the ma
chi ie. The runaway car then backed
on across the street, where it was
stopped when it crashed into a group
of trees and was gotten under control.
As soon as the accident occurred
the wounded lady and the lifeless
form of the little babe were borne to
the house, where medical assistants
was summoned for the mother. The
blow was almost paralyzing to ilia
friends of the family with its sudden
shock and their grief' was most pro
found ard in their affliction the par
ents will have the sympathy of all.
Mrs. Steinhaus is a daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Haynie, residing
near this city, and the accident came
as a severe blow to them. As soon as
word was received they hastened to
Louisville to be at the bedside of their
daughter and assist as far as possib'e
in the battle for her recovery. It is
cjivainly to be hoped thrt she may
be i'blc to come forth from the ordeal
sa.Yly, although her condition is most
delicate.
Mrs. Steinhaus when .struck by the
automobile wan hurled several feet in
advance of the machine and the cisr
backed over her helpless form, and it
seems a miracle that she was not kill
ed, but the most serious injury sus
tained seemed to be her right hand,
wl Ich was badlv lacerated and torn,
as she was holding the buggy of the
babe which was demolished by the
aui:o, with this hand. Mrs. Steinhaus,
it seems, had gone to the garage to
sec her husband in regard to making
a purchase of several articles and was
talking to him at the time the car
came out of the garage, and the ma
chine moving over the concrete floor
did not make any noise and was right
on Mrs. Steinhaus and the babe be
lore they noticed that there was any
thing wrong. Mr. Lau, the owner of
tho machine, had gone into the garage
to secure gasoline for his car, an 1
in starting it did not notice the engine
in icvcrse until it started out of the
garage. As soon as Mr. Steinhaus
saw the runaway maehine strike the
baby he attempted to get into the car
to ylop it, but could not reach the car
until after it had struck his wife.

ball park at the time the quarrel be
twecn the Omaha Indians and th
Red Sox was started at 4:.,0, aftc
several hours' delay, due to the damp
ness. The grounds were certainly very
muddy and the game dragged through
two hours and a half and it looked a
though it would be necessary to take
an adjournment for lunch in order to
finish up the game, but in the twi
light the players and fans rushc
Ihe game was decidedly ragged
throughout, and the Red Sox, by se
curing an early lead in the second in
ning were able to cop the contest by
a score of 5 to 4, as the visitors oper
ateJ in a little better form in the last
stages of the prolonged battle. Both
of ihe mound artists were rather wild
and Stimpson had the greatest dif
ficulty in locating the plate, as eight
of the Indians were given free passes
to the initial sack and two of the
gentlemen passed were able later to
ring up at the home p;;.te with two of
the scores cf the frame.
1-1 the opening spasm of the game
bot'i sides were retired without ;
score, but in the second act of the lit
tie drama one Moyian, who occupied
the hill for the visitors, and his team
mates slipped one or two cogs anc
allowed the frisky Johnsonites to cop
ofT four large, juicy runs th.it spelled
for the motorcycle repairers certain
defeat, and as the locals dashed
around the bases flinging large sec
tions cf Cass county mud from their
.o.
thai
elevens, it was plain to be seen
there was small chance of their
losing. But later in the contest the
Indians succeeded in filling the bases
and it sent a cold chill down the back
of the loyal fans, but in the pinches
Stimpson was able to whiff enough of
the visitors to retire them
The visitors grabbed two runs in
the second inning, one in the sixth
and another in the eighth frame, but
in the final roundup were unable to
do business, as C. Stimpson retired
three of them through the strikeout
route.
The Sox added one to their list of
scoies in the fifth inning, when Craig,
who had been passed to first, register
ed at the plate on the hit of Rockwell
to right field.

cidedly an improvemnet over the
previous games and the boys appear
to be getting their batting eye in

A RETAINING WALL TO BE
BUILT SOUTH OF THE CITY
From Saturday's Pally.
The county commissioners are pre
paring to take up the task of attempt
ing to repair the county road some
two miles south of this city, east of
the Horning farm. For the past two
years this road has been menaced by
the washing of the dirt away on the
east of the roadway, and at present
there is a large washout there which
is tome twenty-five feet wide and
about thirty feet deep, which has
made the road impassable, and it has
become necessary for those using the
road to drive through the farm of Mr.
Horning in order to avoid the wash
out. The state engineer, Mr. John
son, has visited the road and is now
preparing plans for the erection of a
retaining wall 115 feet long and 31 'a
feet high, which it is expected will
check the washing away of the road.
Thir. has been one of the most per
plexing problems for the commission
er-; and the road supervisor and some
steps must be taken at once to prevent
the road from having to be abandon
ed. The state engineer believes the
retaining wall will come nearer to
solving the problem of stopping the
washing than any that has been sug
gested. This is on one of the main
traveled roads leading from the south
