Too Close to Be Comfortable

tempting to cross the Missouri Pa

i ger station last Friday a near catas
' trophy occurred. He stopped his car
before attempting to cross the track,
but his view being obscured by be
ing behind train No. 103, which had
(taken siding to allow No. 107 to
pass, he could not see the latter
train and attempted to cross. But
j he had no more than started before
; No. 107 came scooting by, striking
the car Mr. Willis was driving, tear
ing olf one fender and exploding one,
of the front tires.
While this was all the damage
that was done, the nearness to a
serious catastrophy was such that
there was no pleasure in the matter.

The epidemic of influenza and
nneuiuonia which prevailed tor so
long in this vicinity is seemingly
about over, the efforts of the phy
sicians bavins curbed the severity of
the malady. The local doctors fought
like Trojans day and night, their
efforts being aided bv all who could
in any way assist and as a resul
the dread disease has been stamped
out. It certainly seems good to note
