RAIN DOES DAMAGE TO STREET WORK As Result of Storm Yesterday After noon Contractor Coleman Will Have Work to Replace. From Saturdays panr- ine intense neat 01 tne past wees was culminated late yesterday after noon by a very heavy rain that swept over the city and vicinity and brought with it a great relief to the sufferers from the heat and the crops that were not already damaged from the heat will be revived and fresh ened. In the city the water did more or less damage to, the work of Bert Coleman, the contractor, on the sew er and paving as he had just placed a part of the fresh concrete In the sewer3 and on the street. The work on the sewer was damaged the great est of any as there will be at least $200 damages as the result of the water and the cost of having a part of the work done over. While the rr.In was not of long duration, it came down very lively and quite a lot flowed down the street and west of 5th street where the paving and sewer is out and cre ated quite a disagreeable condition of affairs.

A PECULIAR ACCIDENT A most peculiar accident, which, however, happened a year and a half ago, is just now bearing its fruit and causing much pain and anxiety. About that time Glenn Knapton, who has been at The Bea con home about two years slipped and fell on the ice on the back stair way, alighting on his shoulder and his head between two steps, wrench ing his neck. A little salve and oint ment was applied and nothing seri ous was thought to be the matter. However, at intervals ever since se vere headaches and stiffness have bothered him, and his recent expe rience in cleaning the water tank brought such acute pain that he vis ited Dr. Llston of Elmwood. An' X day picture revealed that the neck had been broken at least the verte bra misplaced, had grown together imperfectly and the unnatural pres sure was the cause of Intense pain. A cast is being prepared and will be applied and it is expected it will take two or three months to remedy the trouble. Eagle Beacon.

Ive been given permission to tell the story," said Master Brown Pelican, Aiieres my cousin, Master White Pelican, and he'd like to tell it too, but the keener said it was fair to let me tell it. I'm smaller and not quite so beautiful so I have been cranted this favor." "Fair enough, fair enough," said Master White Pelican. "Tell the story, cousin. I'd be glad to hear of myself, too, for you'll tell of me when you're telling of pelicans and their ways, won't you?' "Of course, of course," said Master Brown Pelican. "There have been so many silly rhymes made up about us. People don't half take us seriously enough. Now they're so apt to laugh the min ute they see us," complained Master White Pelican. "That is all very true," said Mas ter Brown Pelican. "But still I would rather have rhymes made up about me even if they weren't very good than not to be noticed at all. "And, dear me, I'd much rather people laughed when they saw me than to have them weep at the sight of me." "Yes, I'd rather have that, too," said Master White Pelican. "I like to think I'm so cheerful In appearance that they feel like laugh ing." "Weil," said Master White Pelican, "I suppose it is because of our great long bills or be,aks that they laugh. They are very long." "It is good to have them long," sa!d Master Brown Pelican. "Besides it is well to be generous in th!n?s especial ly in our bills. That is well, indeed." "Well, indeed," repeated Master White Pelican. "Now, Master Brown Pelican." he added after a moment, "do tell your story of the ways of Pelicans." "You know it all. Master White Pel ican." "Ah, yes," said Master White Pel ican. "But I think the next best tiling to talking about one's self Is to lis ten to some one else talking about one. If I am not to talk about myself I look forward eagerly to hearing you talk about me and about yourself, too," ho added. "Do begin." "Well, I will," sa!d Master Brown relican. "And as you have allowed me "We're to tell the story I will tell about you first." "Kind of you, kind of you," said Master White Pelican. It I Good Fish Eaters." J "Well," said Master Brown Pelican, fact thnt the board of hospitals and "I think it Is fair that I should be homes is the youngest board of the allowed to tell the story because I'm Methodist church, and Jocularly re smaller, but I don't believe In the marked that it is the business of the smaller person always having every- , board to "keep people out of heaven tl,ln- tl.oir nwn wnv Tho hla-L-er cronture has rights, too." "You're a fair-minded pelican," said Master White Pelican. "Now do not let me detain you in your talking any nioro." "I'll begin this moment," said Mas ter Brown Pelican.

LOOKS AFTER DAMAGE From Saturday's Dally Harry W. Smith, the monument . . i .i man, was a visitor in ljinuum iuuaj where he goes to look into the mat. ter of an ante , ace dent in which he was one of the victims on last Tues day. The accident occurred eleven miles west of Lincoln and was caus ed when the car of Mr. Smith and that of Mr. Bailey, one of the Lin coln State League ball players, col lided. Mr. Smith was coming from Hastings and Mr. Bailey was going w-pst and where they met on the highway there were two cars parked and without any warning the car of Mr. Bailey swung out on the high way just back of the two parked cars and right in the path of the car of Mr. Smith. Harry states that both cars we're badly damaged and will require a great deal of work to make them fit for service. The re sponsibility for the accident, how ever, seejns to lie with the driver of the other car. Postal receipts show that we are the greatest letter writers in the world. But we already "knew that from the stenographers' record in the divorce courts.
