Roman Maier, proprietor of the
Touriest garage, and his assistant, Al
Ilcot. came near being: ushered into
: 'Kingdom Come" via tne auu iouie
last Friday nigtht. They were en
' route to Omaha in Mr. Maier's Lib
I erty. They were driving- at a hign
rate of speed and as they neared the
foot of the long grade north of Mii
; lard, they Leeame suddenly aware of
' the presence on another oar without
; lights standing crossways of the road
'just ahead of them. A collision
I teemed inevitable, but by turning
i at the cross road the collision wkh
'the other car car was avoiued.
j The rate of speed at which the
! Louisville autoists were traveling
'caused the big- Liberty to go 'nt u
i ditch. Roman was thrown thrjugh
do vTiifi shield and badly cut about
' iht Lead and face. A gasn or his
' r.eck several inches in length came
; dangerously near the jugular vin.
Al was at the wheel and was throw 11
agonist the steering" tear w-'th suiii
ri,nt fore to break several rib. He
' h;:s been confined to hi? home since.
but Roman is on the job looking
somewhat worse for his experience,
but able to take care i f his business
with the assistance of A. Coakley,
who is helping lok after the busi
ness during Al's indisposition.

Railroad company today announced

capitalists, and it will take over all
repr.ir and other work now done in
the shops, an announcement stated.
V. A. Rail win, manager of the
()hi-j region of the railroad, in a
statement said that the plan was
adopted with the idea that "local
conditions can best be appreciated
and mo.-t intelligently met by. the
Inowledge and interest of local su
pervision and support." Much of the
maintenance and construction work
of the railroad had heretofore been
done by contractors in communities
through which the road runs, it
was said.

cut as it is not a 'common carrier."
Hence, members of the board said.
its employes will not come under the I

jthe roads follow the leasing plan
j generally it will have the effect, a:
.member of the board said, of re-'
moving the shop crafts from the:
benefits of the Esch-Cummins act.!

there i: any evidence of a concerted

"Ii" it is dm to such an extent
as to appear to be an evasion of the

Washington. Aug. 15. Bankers,
economists and farmers, testifying to
day before the interstate commerce
commission, attributed the present
plight of western agriculturists in a
large measure to high freight r:ie
on grain products and hay. The testi
mony was presented in a case grow
ing out of complaint against present
rates ly th Kansas public utilities
commission ani joined in by nine
teen other state commissions and by
various shipir.ers' and producing or
ganizations. The hearing is expected
to be concluded Fr'day, and argu
ments will begin immediately there
after. F. W. Peck, director of the agricul
tural extension department of the
University of Missesota. said that the
fainter depended for his profit upon
labor, and that grain producers now
were receiving but 15 cents an hour
on the average for labor. Any de
crcae in freight rates would be add
ed directly to this 15 cents an hour,
he contended, and would materially
increase the profit of the farmers. A
decrease in freight rates of 2 cents a
bushel would represent an increase
of 22 per cent on this profit, he said.
J. R. Howard, president of the
American Farm Hureau federation,
said that prices on grain were fixed
where the surplus accumulates, usu
ally in Liverpool, and that this price,
less commissions and the cost of
transporting the grain to the points
where the prices are made, was what
th producers received. Therefore, he
added, any increase or decrease in
freight rates was felt directly by the
fanner.
Pc-th Mr. Howard and Mr. Peck
pr. -Rented figures intended to show
that the actual cos-.t. of raising wheat
and hay wiw greater than the price
for which the commodities are being
sold.

SURPRISE BIRTHDAY DIN
NER ON SHERMAN COLE
A n iimber of the relatives of Sher
man Cole gathered at. his home last
Sunday to assist in the celebration
of his thirty-second birthday anni
versary. The happy affair was a sur
prise, planned by Mrs. Sherman Cole,
wh' succeeded in preparing a. sump
tuous dinner "behind her husband's
back." When relatives from Lincoln
arrived before noon, he was sonu
wlint surprised but they explained
that on account of the muddy roads
hey concluded to stop at his home
and 1hen resume tiire journey later
in the day. He. .happily consented to
that. Later other car loads of folks
arrived and walked in on him and
then lie realized that he was the vic
tim of a keenly planned surprise.
The long table was soon filled with
every good to eat and everyone bus
ily engaged in consuming the same.
The centerpiece consisted of a
large angel food cake" upon which
was 32 tiny pink candles, surround
ing the cake was a wreiih of green
aspragas booths interspersed with
pink sweet peas which produced a
lovely effect. Just before the last
course the candles were lit by the
host and the room darkened and in
the soft glow the guests resumed
their feasting at the cloe of which.
Sherman extinguished the flames
with one "big blow.
The remainder of the day was
spent in music and vi.-iting. after
which the. guests departed, wishing
Sherman many happy returns of the
day.

"My ears are small, whereas the
ears of tho Chimpanzee are big and
his hair is black. He came from Af
rica to the zoo, and I came from
Dorneo.
"He is a much bigger creature than
I am, too. lie knows a little bit more
than I do, though I try to be as smart
as I can be, for all of my family have
been smart.
"Still,. I must admit that the Chim
panzee and all of his family are as
bright ns can be.
"I have a good many tricks which
my keeper has taught me to do, and
lmw the boys and girls do love to see
those tricks.
"In the first place, I can wear
clot lies, and can put some of them on
and take some of them off by myself.
"Then I can eat with n knife and
a fork, and several years ago I used
to bo the host rt a party.
"Yes, sir, every afternoon in the
summer time, several years ago, the
;:. people used to have afternoon tea
parties for us.
"We used to sit up at a table. There
were about half a dozen monkeys
about that table, as I remember. And
we used to eat just as nicely ns any
body could, with napkins about our
necks and bibs for the little monkeys.
"You ought to have seen the crowds
that used to cone and see us! Oh,
they, did crowd to look at us. They
f-ed to think we were very smart,
nnd of course wo were, for the Orang
utan family has always been bright

"At; 1 it is the same with the Chim

"We don't have those afternoon tea
parties now, but we may again, some
Time. I don't know whether we will
or not.
"Of course, we ret as much food as

people could see what line manners
wo had at table.
'I can't begin to tell yoir bow they

day, more and more people would
roni". They had heard about our inr
ties from other people, and they want
ed to see what we did when we sat at
ar. afternoon tea table.
"They saw that we bad excellent
table manners and always wiped our
mouths with our napkins and not with
the backs of our hands.
VXo. we didn't do that when we sat
up so politely at the tea table.
"I've been asked to tell the othqr
monkeys in the monkey bouse about
those parties we used to have, for
pome of these monkeys were not here
at that time, and, of course, all the
monkeys couldn't be at the tea parties,
for some of them were too young and
didn't know how to behave well
enough.
They had to stay in their nursery
cages and couldn't come to the big
table. Hut some of them will be able
to come if we have tea parties again.
I have to have a game of sawdust
playing with the keeper, and I want
to pet him and tell him how much I
love him."
Then the keeper came to the Orang
utan's cage and opened the door, and
out came the Orang-Utan and put his
arm around the keeper's neck, nnd the
keeper bold him in his arms.
"Dear keeper," the Orung-Utan said
in bis monkey way, "how I love you.
and bow good you are to me. We have
our games and our fun, and we have
just nice cozy times like this when
we tell each other what good friends
we are."
And the keeper said to the Orang
Utan, "You're the best animal I've ever
known. Y'ou are the finest Orang-Utan
I've ever known, and I've knowu many
a fine one, too."
So the keeper and the Orang-Utan
bad a little talk and a little game as
they so often had together.

I,ate Saturday evening a party of
two gentlemen and two ladies came
down from the metropolis up the
river to spend a few hours here and
enjoy a short outing, but the party
had an untimely ending and the
two male members of the quartette
spent the remaining hours of dark
ness in the city bastilc. where they
had been placed by Officer Chand
ler. The pleasure seekers had pro
fetled nicely with their outing dur
ing their stay here, and the only
drawback was the fact that they re
mained too long within the confines
of the city. The party was appre
hended out on Washington avenue,
where they had been making more
or less noise it. is claimed and which,
attracting the attention of the resi
dents of that portion of the city, led
to the police being called to the
scene and the four persons were
taken down to the city hall to dis
cuss the matter more fully. The two
men were placed in the jail and the
ladies allowed to go to one of the
hotels to stay for the remainder of
the night.
Yesterday morning the members ot
the party produced the sum of $30
for a cash bond and were released
and returned to their homes in the

their experience and convinced , that
