Takirsr up the national issues, the
trovernor compared th.e policies and
the record of he republican party
with that of the democratic party
and shoved the fact in a most con
vincing manner that the party that
had the human interests of the
workers and the farmers at heart in
the enactment of lesrisiation was the
democratic party and in this he read
the record of the two parties.
Particular stress was laid by Gov
ernor on the necessity of relief and
protection for the ar-'eUltural in
terests which constitutor; the back
bone of the country and br legisla
tion that would remove the mount
ing peak of prices for the things that
th-e farmer and laborer must have
and the establishing of a market for
the farm products of the nation.
"Not one republican senator of
the agricultural regions of the great
west and northwest is supporting
the Coolidge administration in the
present campaign because this
ad-
ministration has betrayed the- farm
er, the governor asserted.
The removal of the great "tariff

;.r;vilt ;'-pivir?r republicans, was
urged !y thr- speaker, lie pointed

SUFFERS DJJUEY
From Monday's Daily
William Falk, who has been em
ployed at the new Platte rirer bridge
of the Burlington in construction
work, has suffered a very severe in
jury to one of his legs that will lay
him up for some time. Mr. Falk in
his work fell from the top of a rail
road box car and as he fell his cloth
ing caught and held him by the leg,
and he was suspended in this man
ner for some time until he was res
cued by his fellow workmen. He sus
tained severe injury to the liga
ments of the leg that has made nec
essary his getting around on
crutches and made it rery painful to
him in every way and he has suf
fered very much since. As painful
as the accident was it could have
been a gTcat deal more severe had he
fallen to the tracks as he would
surely had hit his head on the rails
and received fatal injuries.

BURLINGTON VETERAN INJURED
From Wednesday's Ia:!y
Late last night, Fred Harris, one
of the veteran conductors on the
Burlington railroad was severaly in
jured in the yards at Lincoln, and
as the result had the left leg cut
off below the knee. Mr. Harris, who
is one of the oldest men in the em
ploye of the company running in
this part of the state, has been
serving as conductor on No. 93. the
local freight between this city and
Lincoln.
Yesterday morning Mr. Harris de
parted from this city at the usual
time on his run aird reached Lincoln
last night. He had left his train in
the yards and started to walk out
of the yards to reach the car line
and go on home and as he came
through the yards he stepped around
a string of cars and as he did so a
switch engine bumped the string of
cars suddenly and Mr. Harris was
hurled to the ground, one leg falling
over the track and before he could
get out of his dangerous position
the wheels of one of the cars had
passed over the one leg and severed
it from the rest of the body. The
injured man was finally rescued and
taken on home.
Mr. Harris is one of the most
popular men in the employe of the
Burlington and his friends have been
very much shocked to learn of his
accident.

When approaching the V. p. cross
ing in the vicinity of Millard, Je'ii-
nmgs was Minded y the Priglit
lights of an approaching car and
had to reduce the speed of his truck
v-as blinded bv the
ami suddenly came onto the crossing
to find that the red signal was set
on crossing and the watchman warn
ing that a train was approaching.
As Mr. Seybert came on the crossing
vt ry suddenly and saw the signal
the engine cf the truck died with
the front wheels of the truck on
the track and despite the efforts of
the driver the engine refused to
function. Mr. Seybert then got out
of the truck and attempted to push
the truck to a point where it would
be out of danger but without suc
cess, and only jumped away from
the truck when the approaching
train was very near him. The train
struck the truck and mined it some
distance away, demolishing the
and front part of the truck. While
th.e damage will be considerable, it
is fortunate that Jennings was not
injured in the wreck.
UNDERGOES OPERATION.
This morning Charles Richards,
Jr.. of Omaha, will be operated on
for appendicitis. After his very severe
attack here a few weeks ago, Charles
was taken back to Omaha and found
to be suffering from ptomaine poison
ing as well as appendicitis and an
operation was decided on at that
time but owing to the fact that the
patient was suffering from slight
bronchial trouble it was found neces
sary to postpone the operation until
later and accordingly this morning
the young man will go on the oper
ating table. The many friends here
are hopeful that the very best results
will be secured and that Charles will
be able to soon be up and around as
of old.

Don't Let the Weather Man Re

The wear and tear of actual use on
farm implements cannot be prevented
but the bad effects of leaving implements
exposed to the weather when not in use
most assuredly can.
If, by housing farm machinery, it
be made to last five years instead of
or three, it is certainly worth the ef-

City.
From Monday's I tally
Last evening T. D. Brown, proprie
tor of the Brown cafe here received a
telephone- message from Nehrrska
City announcing that an attempt had
been made by someone to burn the
dancing pavillion at Brown's park,
just south of that city and which in
owned by Mr. Brown.
Mr. Brown at once drove to Ne
braska City to investigate and found
that he had a very close call from
losing his property valued at $2.
otoi irom fire and that the attempt
to burn the place was the work of
an incendiary.
Mr. Brow n found w hen be arriv
ed at the Otoe county city that the
fire had been started on the interior
of the pavillion and a large rug ip'-d
in waxing the floors, had been wrap
ped with a gunny sack placed inside
and these had been placed in t he
lower pejrtioti of a show case and se t
afire. It happened that the family
residing on the place and who have
charge during the absence cf Mr.
Ihown, had gone out with some
friends to their car a short distance
from the pavillion and noticed smoke
issuing from the building and they
had at once broken open the doors
and discovered t he burning show case
and the charred rug and sacks that
had evidently been used in starting
-i,p fire. Their prompt work checked
Ithe fire that would in a few mo
linents more have destroyed this
I building as we-11 as the residence
adjoining it, and entailed a loss of
some $20,000.
The parties residing on the place
summoned Sheriff Carl Ryder and
his assistants and th'y investigated
th.e fire and found a place where a
small boy had evidently crawled in
to the building and from finger
prints on the show case it was evi
dently the work of boys. The rug
used in starting the fire had been
left by Mr. Brown on the exterior of
tne paillien nd had been seeu' there
on Friday by the caretakers so that
the firebugs had dragged it into the
pavillion to aid in their purposes.
This is the fifth incendiary fire in
Nebraska City in the last three
weeks and a reward is out for the
capture of the firebugs and from the
ta0'clues found at Brown park it is pos
sible that they will soon run down
the parties.
TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL
! The many friends of Mrs. George
J Lusc hinsky will regret to learn that
she has been compelled to return to
the hospital at Omaha, where she
will have to undergo a second opera
tion. This operation is thought to
be only slight in its nature and it
(is
hoped that the patient will soon
i be able to return home and be per
Imanently restored to health.
Mrs. Luschinsky has been in poor
health for the last few years and re
cently underwent a very severe op
eration that confined her to the hos
pital for many months. The family
and friends are hopeful that Mrs.
Luschinsky may soon be over her af
fliction and able to resume her usual
activities as her many friends will
miss her genial pretence and kindly
association.
