pleasant trip.
Stricken with Paralysis
A. M. Newshaw, living some .four
or five miles southeast of Green
wood, was stricken with paralysis
last Thursday about midnight and
is still in a very precarious condi
tion. He has been in fairly good
health up until recently and the
sudden change in his health was un
locked for. HU many friends &re
extending sympathy in this hour,
and. are hoping that he may soon be
over this sickness.
Thmhing Kcstly Completed
The Stradley brothers have just
about concluded the threshing work
in this vicinity, having two stack
jobs left which will not be threshed
at this time, and so far as they know
they will complete their summer's
work in this line. J. C. Lomeycr and
J. F. Anderson also have completed
their work iu this line, and others
in and around Greenwood are about
completing the threshing for this
year. The yield3 have been very light
in both wheat and oats, but no one
loked for a very heavy yield consid
ering the year. .
Will Hold Sale August 1st
! As an atraction for business and
a clean-up proposition there will be
! given a community sale on Satur
jday, August 1st, at which time every
one will be given opportunity to list
such goods as they desire to sell. A
list of the goods is being made up at
the First National Bank and those
placing goods in the list will be re
quired to get them to the appointed
place in time for the sale.
Start Drilling of Well
Mr. Archibald, the contractor for
the sinking of the well which is to
I supply water for the new Greenwood
waterworks system, got the machin
ery in place last Friday and began
sinking the well, which is located
near the lumber yard. Tiiere is also
a quantity of iron pipe which had
been ordered for some time, now on
hand, and the work of digging the
trenches tor the laying of the same
yill be undertaken at once and push
ed to rapid completion. The con
struction of the waterworks system
is a decided step in advance for
Greenwood and one that will supply
a long felt want by the citizens.
See Much Country
Omar and Rollin Coon, of Man
ley, were in Greenwood last Friday,
re turning
from a trip to Iowa, dur-
mg me course 01 wnieii tney were
looking after business matters at
I .Missouri aney, unawa, and a num
ber of places south and east of Sioux
City. They returned on the Nebras
ka side of the river following the
Cornhusker highway south thru Fre
mont, Wahoo, and thence over the
D. L. D. to Greenwood. They tell of
good crops in both Iowa and Ne
braska on both sides of the river,
but when one gets far away from
the Missouri river the crops are not
nearly so good. They say they found
the crops in the eastern part of Cass
county the best of any they observ
ed on the entire trip.
Greenwood Playing Good Ball
The regular team of ball players
from Greenwood were meeting the
team at Cedar Creek yesterday, and
as they had won from Cedar Creek in
a game the week before, to the tune
of 8 to 3, they were feeling pretty
confident as to the outcome of this
latest contest, the result of which we
have not yet been apprised.
Sure Had a Good Time
The fishing party of which men
tion was made last week in" this de
partment, enroute to Cedar Creek,
did not arrive there at as early an
hour as they had expected, due to
k)sing their bearings and failing to
turn off at the proper crossroad that
would have taken them directly to
the lakes, and away along near the
hour of daybreak found themselves
almost to Plattsmouth and had to
turn around and go back a consid
erable distance. However, they ar
rived there in fine shape a little later
ana nau a most excellent time in
fishing and enjoying the cooling at
mosphere of the sand pits.
wm. Coleman Some Better
Wm. Coleman, who has been quite
ill for some time with pleurisy, and
other complications, while still suf
fering greatly and very weak from
his illness, is thought to be showing
some improvement, which will be
pleasing news to his many friends.
All the News
The Journal prints all the Cass
county news, maintaining in addition
to its extensive county seat pages, de
partments from eight of the towns
in the county and reaches its read
ers twice a week instead of once. De
spite this fact, it costs no more than
the smaller town weeklies and should
be reael by everyone desirious of keep
ing abreast of the doings over Cass
county. It will come to you twice
a week for a whole year for only $2.
Hand your money to the field repre
sentative now and have your name
added to the fast growing list of

MISSING MAN IS LOCATED
London, July 23. The police at
1 o'clock this morning informed Miss
Collins, daughter of Frof. Joseph
Victor Collins of Stevens Roiut, Wis.,
that her father, who had been miss
ing: for several days, is in Edinburgh,
Scotland.
A dispatch to the Daily Express
from Edinburgh announcing that
Professor Collins had been found,
says he traveled to Edinburgh on
Monday night from London and at
tended the education conf.erer.ee
Tuesday and Wednesday. The dis
patch aelds that what apparently
happened was that Professor Col
lins found the train for Edinburgh
left the King's Cross station in Lon
don at 9:15 p. m. instead of after 10
p. m., as he believed the schedule
was; that he had not time to re
turn to his hotel and tell his wife,
and assumed she would understand
he had gone on to Edinburgh.
For what he said about airplanes
and battleships, the president had
either to fire General Mitchell or ac
cept the resignation of two cabftiet
officers. But many persons would
have taken the retirement cf Weeks
and Wilbur cheerfully. Worse things
have happened.
FIVE NEBRASKANS
HURT IN CHEYENNE
Bleachers at Frontier Days Celebra
tion Fall With Several Injured
But None Fatally.
Cheyenne, Wyo., July 22. About
twenty-five persons were injured,
none seriously, when a sixty-foot sec
tion of the woden bleachers collapsed
at Frontier park during the Frontier
Days wild west celebration. Approx
imately 3 hundred persons were seat
ed on the bleachers which gave way.
The bleachers sank slowly, pre
venting loss of life. Cavalry from
Fort D. A. Russell, which participat
led i the show, immediately gave
aid
and extricated the injured from the
bleachers.
Mrs. Fred Lebsack, Lincoln, Neb.,
Harry G. Hutchinson, Beaumont,
Tex,, and Claude Nowlin, Oklahoma
City, Okla., suffered broken legs. In
juries to the others were confined to
limbs crushed, minor fractures and
bruises as the result of being pinned
under the timbers of the stands.
Cheyenne hospital authorities an
nounced tonight that none of the in
jured were in a critical condition.
Among the injured were:
Mrs. Fred II. Wasson, Cary Sta
tion, 111., left leg and body injured.
Jason Sowell. Dallas. Tex., face

I with his grandson. John Jr.. was sup
posed to be at Cheyenne attending
the frontier days celebration but as
their names do not appear in the
lift of the injured they have appar
ently suffered, no ill effects from the
.M-cident if they were among those
who were caught in the falling
bleachers.
MOLISH OUT ORDER
GOMES FROM COURT
Povrers cf State Fire Marshal Jlay te
Tested in Zlatter of Proposed
Condemnations in Omaha.
The right of State Fire Marshal
John Trouton to summon John B.
Webster of Omaha to appear before
him in Lincoln to give testimony rel
ative to a contemplated order con
demning three of Mr. Webster's
buildings in Omaha is questioned by
Attorney James H. Hanley. Assist
ant Attorney General Tasve has giv
en an opinion holding that such a
hearing is legal and that the fire
marshall is not exceeding his juris
diction in holding it at Lincoln Au
gust 3 instead of in the judicial dis
trict in which the property in ques
tion is situated.
It is explained by the attorney
general's office that the legislative
act of 1925 materially changes the
powers of the state fire marshal.
Under the old law his right to con
demn a building as a fire hazard or
to repairs made was much in ques
tion. The new law authorizes the fire
marshal to hold a hearing on any
subject mentioned in the legislative
act, and to compel the attendance of
witnesses. He is given power to pun
ish for disobedience of any subpoena.
When the fire marshal finds that a
building should be repaired or torn
down because it is dangerous to life
nf is especially liable to fire, he shall
file his order with the clerk of the
district court of the county where
the property is situated. All further
proceedings for enforcement of such
an order shall be had in the district
court. The owner is given twenty
days In which to file objection to the
order. If no answer is filed the court
is required to affirm the order for
condemnation and direct the state
fire marshal to enforce it. If an- j
swer is nieu tne court eaes icsci
niony and renders judgment.
If the salvage does not pay the ex
pense of demolishing the building
the additional amount is charged up
as taxes against the real estate anel
collected as real estate taxes. If the
salvasre exceeds the expense the sur
plus is turned over by order of the
court to the owner.
SAYS ISLANDS TO EXPAND
Washington, July 22. A predic
tion that Uncle Sam soon will be
presented by mother nature with a
fair-sized continent in the mid
Pacific was added today to the pro
fusion of discussion and conjecture
that has followed recent seismic dis
turbances. Edwin Fairfax Xaulty of
Xew York, who has studies earth
movements for many years, said he
was convinced that the Hawaiian is
lands gradually and quietly were be
ing pushed upward and within a gen
eration would comprise a high and
dry territory as large as Japan.
Only the peaks of a great range
now rise above the surface of the
sea at Hawaii, he said, but a con
stant "squeezing process at work in
the bed of the Pacific may be expected
to push these peaks constantly up
ward. He added that all the signs
pointed to a gradual rise over a per
iod cf years, entirely unaccompanied
by, serious earth shocks. .

BROKEN HOMES
LEAD TO DELIN
QUENCY !f! GIRLS
Report Of State Training School for
Girls Shows that Home Influ
ence Largely Lacking.
From Thursday's Daily
"Eighty-five per cent of our girls
come from broken homes, or no
homes, and ethers from homes that
never should have existed, so that
few of them have any idea cf home
life," says Miss Lena Ward, super
intendent of the state training school
for girls at Geneva, in a report filed
with the board of control.
"Not long ago one of our girls who
was employed in n well regulated
home came back to the school on a
visit after having been in this home
two weeks and the thing that im-
pressed her most and which almost
seemed impossible to her was the
fact that there had been no family
quarrels. This to her was most won
derful, as she had come from a homo
where quarreling seemed to be the
main object of the father and mother
and she could not believe that a
home could exist without it."
The parental condition of those
admitted to the state school is set
forth in Miss Ward's report:
parents dead, 7; father dead
Both
mother dead, 26; parents living to
gether, 4S; parents living apart, 2S;
unknown, 5. Parents of 110 girls!
admitted were born in the United
States, thirteen were foreign born
and seventeen of unknown nativity.
There were laS girls present at
he close of the biennium July 1.
Tiiirty-tvo counties of the ninety-
three in the state were represented
by girls committed to the school. In
the two years fifty were committed !
from Dougies county, forty-five; f rom
Lancaster, seven from Box Butte, five
from Hall. Other counties i:i the
list or thirty-two contributed one and
two each. I

year period total ?a,lal. This in
cludes $2,Sl5 for art material sold,

It is the opinion of Mr. Rritt that
the subject is one calling for legis
lation to insure uniform practice in
the various districts and to clarify
the legal issues involved.
At headquarters of the Anti-Saloon
League the opinion w-as given that
the decision is not, as reported in
some dispatches, of "far-reaching
consequence." but is merely a local
issue.

dered a reception tonight. Sir Harry
Braddon, president of the English
