FLOORS!
What is nicer and easier kept clean than a good
floor?
We have some yellow pine flooring that will take
a finish almost equal to oak and the cost to cover a
room will be about the same as an ordinary rug.
Think of the difference in wearing quality.
Your kitchen needs a new floor. Why not give
it a surprise?
Come in and let us make an estimate.
We appreciate your patronage.

MURRAY YOUNG MAN
IS SEVERELY INJURED
Sandford Homan Has Pitclif ork Pene
trate Abdomen and Inflict Ser
ious if Not Fatal Injuries
A very serious accident occurred
yesterday afternoon at one of the
farms west of Murray when Sandford
Homan, a young man employed in
that locality was severely injured by t
having the tines of a pitchfork driv
en into his abdomen and penetrating
the liver. The unfortunate young
man was delivering bundles to the
threshing machine and as he was
driving up with a load, the wagon
overturned and the young man
thrown out as well as the bundles.
In the load was a pitchfork and from
the particulars of the accident it '
seems as though the young man must I
have fell on the fork as the points
were driven deep into his body. The
fork tines penetrated the abdomen '
and the injured man suffered untold
agony while medical aid w as se-
cured. He was taken to Omaha last
night and an examination disclosed
that the fork had penetrated to the
kidneys and very little hope of his
recovery was entertained. At the
hospital it was stated that if the
young man could live through today
his chances of recovery would be
much brighter but the case was so
severe tha tbut little hopes could be
entertained.

Mr. Shrader came to Nebraska in
1SCS with his brothers, Z. W. and

of Virginia, and brought with tluni
to the new west that spirit of south
ern hospitality and courtesy that has
been a distinguishing mark through
all the years that have elapsed. a
the late years it has been the custom
of the family to arrange these an
nual gatherings at the home of the
children, most of whom reside in

en very delightful events.
