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.

PELICANS' WAYS
MT, .
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.

"You're a fair-minded pelican," said

WIFE OF PRESIDENT
IS CRITICALLY ILL
Complications Developing in Case of
Mrs. Harding, But Hope Ex
pressed of Improvement.
Washington, Sept. 8. The condi
tion of Mrs. Harding, wife of the
president, was so serious tonight that

, "recovery is not yet assured," :

Sawyer, the family physician'.
! Complications which developed
. Slerua-v ana last nit?!lt. the state-
ment said, makes Mrs. Harding's
condition "critical," it was added.
Concern over the Illness of Mrs.
Harding, wife of the president, was
expressed today at the White House,
despite the announcement that her
condition had improved during the
day. In a bulletin to the press Brig
adier General C. E. Sawyer, the fam
ily physician, said some serious com
plications developed last night. They
abated slightly today, and Mrs.
Harding was reported to be resting
easier.
The illness was described as hypo
nephrosis, from which Mrs. Harding
has suffered at intervals since a surs-ii-al
operation nine years ago. On
former occasions, however, her ill
ness has yielded more readily to
treatment, it was said.
During the past two days. Doctor
Sawyer has been in almost constant
attendance at her bedside, his son,
Dr. Carl W. Sawyer of Marion, O.,
arriving today for consultation. Dr.
Joel T. Boone, naval medical officer
on the Mayflower, a staff of labora
tory technicians and two trained
nurses, also have been in attend
ance. The president spent part of the
morning today at Mrs. Harding's
bedside. After the cabinet meeting
he again left his office to be with"
her, and late in the afternoon laid
aside his offilial duties to return to
the sick room.
Ccnfidenhe was expressed by those
in attendanre at Mrs. Harding's
bedside that tlie next day or two
would see a marked improvement in
her condition.

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.
