Attend the Basket Supper
While you are helping to provide
a library for the public school, have
a good time as well. You are now
presented an opportunity that has
for its purpose the drawing together
of the whole community for the pur
pose of securing funds for this excel
lent cause, when a box supper will
be given at the M. V. A. hall on Fri
day, March 5th, the proceeds of
which will be used for the purchase
of books for the school library.
The ladies are requested to bring
boxes and baskets, containing a suf

A Rather Tangerous Place
The crossing over the Missouri Pa
cific tracks at the foot of Main street
is developing into a very dangerous
place, and near fatal accidents have
occurred in plentiful number there
of late. Some damage has been done
and by the most miraculous escapes
have lives been spared. Last Monday
a string of opts 4'ithcr slipped away
or were left standing over the street
and it was hours before an engine
was sent to remove them so people
could cross the tracks over the high
way intended for uninterrupted trav
el. It looks like an electric gong
should be placed there or a flagman
employed to give warning of im
ponding danger from the approach
of trains and thus protect the lives
of those who might desire to pass
over the tracks.
Eben Peck Very Sick
E. E. Leach Las been called to

which he spoke. This was followed
by a masterly address by Rev. L.
