Like every successful farm implement the Deering Binder lias imitators. There are Hinders and Mowers made very much like the Deering, but a wise buyer will not pay out good money for an untried "experiment" when we can get the "old reliable'' Deering for the same money. Deering Harvesting and Haying Machinery is built by men who have made a life study of such implements. The Deering Binder you buy today, is the result of 35 years experience in building good harvesting machines. When you put a Deering Binder or Mower into your field at the beginning of harvest you have the satisfaction of knowing that no man in the world has a better ma chine than you have. We are exclusive agents for Deering Standard Twine in this territory. In view of the pre dicted twine shortage, we suggest that you give us your order now to avoid disappointment. JOHN F. GORDER Plattsmouth, 9 Nebraska SERIOUS WRECK ON THE MISSOURI PACIFIC NEAR NEBRASKA CITY The Missouri Pacific Railroad com pany suffered a very serious wreck seme two miles south of Nebraska City this morning at about 2:30, when a north-bound freight train was de i ailed. The train consisted of forty cars and among these were two cars of prasoline that caught fire in some manner and the explosion of the gaso line caused thirteen of the other cars to be consumed by the flames before the fire could be checked, as the burn ing gasoline was scattered for quite a distance and the blaze from the burning cars illuminated the skies for miles, and as far north as Union the glare of the fire was visible. As far as can be ascertained no one was injured, but the loss in property and freight in the cars will be quite heavy. The derailment necessitated the send ing of the early morning passenger train by way of Auburn and the cen tral branch lines in order to reach Omaha. This is the second very serious wreck that has occurred in the vicinity of Nebraska City in the last few months, and in each case it fortunately has been freight trains in stead of passenger trains that suffer ed from the effects. Not All Buying Automobiles. Saturday John Gorder, the rustling implement and carriage salesman, dis posed of five fine buggies to custom ers, and they are as fine as any ever sent out of the Gorder salesrooms. This is evidently proof that the auto mobile has not entirely supplanted the horse in Cass county. The line of buggies carried by Mr. Gorder is quite extensive.

LAST SATURDAY WAS A BIG AUTOMOBILE DAY FOR PLATTSMOUTH The city was well filled Saturday with automobiles and Main street, as well as the side streets, was thronged throughout the day with the cars of the visitors from the country districts, and it is a pleasure to say that the rules of the road were strictly observed by the owners and drivers of the cars. Chief of Police Barclay, who had charge of looking after the traffic proposition, states that he in spected some fifty cars during the day snd only found two that were left on the street in an improper position, as the others had all been parked in com pliance with the city ordinances and regulations covering this subject. The cars were also driven along the street with a strict regard for the laws and rules covering automobile traffic and the drivers of the machines are to be commended for their efforts in this line to keep within the law.

In the sporting events of the school life the most exciting of the last few days to be reported was that of the base ball game between the freshmen cf the High school and the boys of the seventh and eighth grades, in which the freshmen were overwhelmingly defeated by a score of 23 to 11, and the lads from the grades had them outclassed in all departments of the game and were greatly delighted that the result of the conflict had termin ated so favorably for them. Elmer Frans acted as the umpire at the game Friday afternoon and was quite satisfactory to all parties. This sport keeps the boys out of mischief and is a fine feature of the school life that they greatly enjoy and the interest taken in athletics by the young folks of the grades has been of much bene fit to them in their developing powers.

John Richardson, the ferryman at the Missouri river, this morning re ceived a telephone message from the neighborhood of Rock Bluffs request ing him to come there and assist in getting a party who was marooned on a sandbar, and bring him to shore. John at once departed for the scene of trouble, going down in a skiff and reaching the bar described, landed on the east side and here found the man, who was unable to reach shore, and who stated that he had been there since Friday night without anything to eat and was about froze with the chill wind which was blowing on the river. The victim stated that he and a companion had starteu uown me river from Omaha in a motor boat, and when reaching the bar they had run aground and were unable to reach shore or get the boat back into the river, as it was high and dry on the bar. The second man had taken a life preserver and swam to snore and then attempted to secure aid for his companion, but without success until Richardson was telephoned to. John later paid a visit to where the motor boat was landed and was great ly surprised to find that it was the launch that belonged to Jack Iverson of this city, which had evidently been taken some time Friday evening. The men asked Richardson to keep his eye on the boat for them, as they would be down from Omaha in a few days to j take it back. The boat is still on the bar and the last seen of the men was when they landed on the Iowa side of the river and secured a square meal at one of the farm houses there before continuing on to Omaha. n A. u. .
