Find Difficulty in Getting to and From County Seat. Kiiim Tliiirs!ay"s Dl,f. Since the reduction in train ser vice made as the result -of the coal Urn-tape the residents along the Lin le;ln branch of the Missouri Pacific have experienced a great deal of trouble in setting to and from the county seat without having to take two days and night to make the trip. 1'nder the present arrangement if anyone desires to come to this city to look after business afTaTrs they must take the midnight Missouri Pacific from Lincoln anil remain at Union al! night and come on to IMattsmouth the net morning and on the return trip leave here at midnight and lay over in Union until G o'clock the next morning before they can reach home. Residents of Weeping Wat er however have a little better con nection by going to Omaha and com ing down from that city over the Burlington but have the same diffi culty in getting home as experienced by other residents. When the difficulty of the coal strike is cleared "up the residents of the county certainly should have some relief given them in the way of train service. ACTIONS OF OTHER CITIES IN MODIFYING RESTRICTIONS HELPS BUSINESS. BUSINESS HAS SUFFERED HERE Holiday Goods Will be Left on Hand Unless Restrictions Are lifted at Least Partially. From Saturday's Daily. During the past two weeks of the regulations on fuel which have been in force the business houses of the city have been in darkness from the closing hour at 5 o'clock in the even ing and with the result that the large holiday stocks carried by a great many of these establishments have not had the opportunity of be ing offered to the purchasing public and as a result a great deal of the business of one of the best months of the year has been affected. With the resumption of normal conditions over the country there should be at least a modification of the closing regulations that would allow these business houses a chance to get their goods on the market in the coming week. - The situation in- this city is con siderably better than in a great many of the cities of this size as the fuel supply is ample in most of the busi ness establishments to carry on their heating plants for several months and in most of the places of business al most as much fire is required when the stores are closed as during active business hours. JThe lighting com pany is allowing their patrons full use of all electric current under or ders from their head olTices and it seenic in the face of these facts that a less stringent regulation covering the business houses, churches and amusement place j of the city could be adopted.

Last evening at th'.- county fr.rm west or this city Loul Dose, for iiis".r; years one of t lie well known v-i'i ents of I:a r .Miami I passed r.vviv Mr. Dose hat h-.--. in failing 'A-.'i ill for sever1', years and siue .'taich HO, 1017. hf- made his home at the county farm and since the death of the wife. two years ago he has failed greatly until death came to bring him relief and rest from his suffering and lonelincps. Louis Dose was born in Germany June 7. lS4r, and at the time of his death was 74 years of age. He came to America when a young man and was for a great many years a resi dent of IMattsmouth, where in his younger days lie was in the employ of the Burlington in the local shops but as the advance of age crept on he was compelled To resign from the activities of this line of work.

The funeral services will be held at 11:30 at the county farm west of the city tomorrow morning. A COASTING ACCIDENT. From Friday's Dally. Tom Bailey, the second son of Mr. and Mrs. T. L. Ealley met with quite a serious accident last Thursday ev ening while coasting down hill over near the A. A. Johnson home by col liding with the auto driven by C. K. Day. The boy was coming down the hill on the sled at a terrific rate; Mr. Cay saw the sled coming but was at a loss to know what to do. To suddenly stop his car might be to slop squarely in the path of the sled; to advance the speed of the car he might run over the boy, so be turned to one side so much as possible and nearly escaped the sled as it struck the car near the rear wheel. The boy received a double fracture of the left arm and a light scalp wound. He was taken to a hospital in Omaha Saturday where he could have the best of care. It is understood that the coasters had had a guard posted to be on the lookout for cars but he had evident ly neglected his post of duty. A movement is on foot to have some streets in town fenced off from traffic when coasting starts again which is a good idea as young people should be allowed the fun of coasting and given protection from traffic.

If you are expecting to remember a friend who resides at a distance with a Christmas package, bear in mind that the earlier you mall It the better chance it has of reaching its destination on time and insures the friend being able to rejoice over it on Christmas morning.
