Residents Along Lincoln Branch, of
1:1. ?.' 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.

From S?; t nnlay's Daiiy.
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

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

of that portion of the city.
The funeral services will be held at

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.

The ladies of the Aid society of

the most pleasant meetings of the

occasion some forty of the members
of the organization were present.
The afternoon was spent in the

RUSH OF HOLIDAY
PACKAGES IN MAILS
Postoficces Urging All Patrons " to
Mail Packages Early to be
Sure of Prompt Delivery.
From Saturday's Dally.
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.
The condition of the mail service
during the holiday season is always
rushed and crowded and to add to
the general congested condition of the
mail this year is the fact that rail
road traffic has been cut down by
the fuel shortage and fewer trains
must carry the Iqads of mail that are
given to them at this season of the
year. The prompt delivery of all
packages is the aim desired by the
department and this can only be ac
complished by the heatry co-opera
Hon of the patrons over the country
who will gettogether and mail pack
ages in time to insure delivery before
Christmas. v
Now is the time to get busy a3
Christmas is less than two weeks off
and if you are going to send packages
to anv distance would, be well to
get on the job and see that they were
mailed. The label "Not to be Opened
Until Christmas" will be allowed on
the packages and make them ready
for the day of universal rejoicing.

business matters of the society were
taken care of arrd other plans men

time the hostess served a most de

most thoroughly enjoyed. Abont the
hour of 5:30 the ladies dispersed,
declaring Miss Morgan to be a most
excellent, entertainer.
