the declaration of war by Germany
on Ktis-ia and when the wife and
children tried to leave for this coun

empire closed agnin-t anyone

leaving for the states and with the
n'r.ehing times cau:--ii by the remi
siti'. n of fond supplies for the Aus
trian government the wife was coui
p 11 to sell the transportation to
some of the influential and wealthy
residents of that section of Poland
in order that sh- mi.-i't secure food
for her.-. If and children. This in
formation was received by Mr.

of the groat struggle, as the Russian

in times of peace the residents of the

of the country subsisted largely up

Your dollar's opportunity is now, today!
Set it to work for you. Give it the task
of multiplying itself. In doing so it will
perform its part in the world affairs.
Everyman's money should be making use
of this opportunity. Farmers, for instance,
can not only feed the world; through
businesslike handling of their farms
and businesslike handling of their in
comes they can help to develop the world.

hunger when the armies swept over
the land demanding what little food
supply there was. During the first
few months of the war th? Russian
armies advanced into Galicia inflict
ing many hardships upon the in
habitants and taking what" of the
food supply of the country as they
could secure, and this was made
even worse when the Russians were
checked and defeated by the Ger
man and Austrian armies as the
Russians retreating laid waste a
large portion of the country and
what they had left the armies of the
Germans finished up. The terrible
condition of the section of the coun
try in which the family of Mr.
Schall resided together with the
fact that he had failed to hear a
word from them led Mr. Schall to
lose heart and believe that his loved
ones had been forced to succumb to
the horrors of starvation together
with the many thousands of the
Galicians who had been reported as
perishing during the five long years
of war.
As soon as he received word of
the fact that the wife and children
were still alive Mr. Schall at once
begin plans to return to the old
home and secure the wife and child
ren and return to the United States
to mike th' ir home in the land c f
ti e free. To do this it will be neces
sary for him to e-tabiish his Amer
ican citizenship and this was the
object of liis journey to this city as
it was here he made his declaration
of intention to become a citizen
some f ve years ago. When the
question as to his citizenship h
settled Mr. Sc-'nall will make ar
rangement t. to go buck to Galicia to
get the family if he can secure I he
necessary pas ports.

also at Sioux City. Iowa. The trip

when they came to Omaha and start

was certain'ly bad and cm this side

SUFFERS SEVERE LACERATION
From Tliur.selay's Daily.
Shortly after noon yesterday a
large touring ctir driven by T. E.
Law head, of Pittsburg, Pennsylvan
ia', and containing tho members of
lib; family, was overturne-d a few
miles south of Murray, with the re
sult that Mrs. Law head sustained a
rather severe laceration of the chin.
The accident occurred a short dis
tance from the farm of Nick Fred
erick, just out eif Murray, and was
caused by the eUlomobilo. skidding
up on the bank along the: roadside
and partially tipping over with the
result t!ut Mrs. Lawhead was in
jured by being thrown against the
frame of the car ami sustained the
painful cut on her chin. The in
juries of the lady were temporarily
dressed at Murray and the party
continued on to Omaha passing thru
this city shortly before two o'clock.,
The members of the party are en
gaged in an automobile tour of the
west and were traveling from Kan
ras City to Omaha when the acci
dent occurred. The car was not
damaged as a result of the accident,
and was able to be driven on into
Omaha. where the party made a
short stop.
PETTY THIEVING GOING ON
From Tuesday's Daily.
For some time there has been re- j
ports of the stealing of tires from
automobiles as well as smaller ac
cessories and this seems to have be
come a regular line of work in this
community judging from the in
creasing number of cases of this
kind being reported. Yesterday sev
eral car owners in the different parts
of the city report having suffered
the loss of extra tires, which were
removed from the rear of their ma
chines as well as numerous cases ol
the taking of extra tints, tools and
other small articles of equipment
carried with automobiles. This, to
gether with the attempted stealing
of the car of Mr. Hoyne on Saturday
night looks as though there is a
regularly organized gang of auto
thieves working over ti e city. The
automobile owners of the city should
be careful that when they leave their
f.rs all movable property is safely
locked up.

GHARLES JELIHEK
HAS AN ACCIDENT!
Has Right Arm Eroken While ,
Crr.nldn-r Ford at Point Near Fre- !
mont, Proves Quite Serious. j
?rom Saturday's Dally.
The. news has reached this city
of an accident that befell Charles
Jelinek, formerly of this city, but
who is at present located in Omaha
where he is traveling for the whole
sale house of Kudo it Bardo. Mr.
Jelinek in company with a number
of other traveling men were engag
ed in making the territory north of
Fremont on Tuesday and the occa
sion arising to start the Ford Mr.
Jelinek got out and attempted to
crank the car. The engine back
fired and the crank struck Mr.
Jelinek on the right forearm break
ing the bones and the fracture prov
ed a severe one as the bones were
badly splintered and the flesh of
the arm torn by the pieces of bone
which protruded through. The in
jured man was hurried. by his com
panions to the hospital at Fremont
where he was looked after and
an X-ray made of the arm to
fully determine ju?t how severe
the break was. One of the men who
was with Mr. Jelinek at the time of
the accident states that the condi
tion of the arm wjjs very serious
and it was not known at the hos
pital whether it would be possible
to set the arm so that it would be
possible to save it or not altho every
effort was being made to save an
amputation if possible. This will
be very sad news to the friends of
Mr. Jelinek in the old home ..and
they are trusting that the conditieui
of Mr. Jelinek may not prove as ser
ious as was at first reported. Mir.
Jelinek is a son of Mr. and Mrs.
Joseph Jelinek and a. son-in-law of
Mr. and Mrs. J. C. York of this city,
and up to a year ago the family
made this city their. home until re
moving to Omaha, where Mr. Jeli
nek took up his work for the whole
sale house.
