From "Wednesday's Daily
Eastern Nebraska was visited
a meteor at 3:40 this morning, re
ports from the vicinity of Alvo state,
crashing to earth there with a ter
rific explosion that was felt for many
miles. Residents of Lincoln and a
number here in Flattsmouth report
feeling the shock of the explosion.
No one was able to say just where
the meteor fell but the force of the
impact was claimed to have shook
the town of Alvo a3 those by an
earth upheaval.
W. R. Holmes, Rock Island tele
graph operator at Alvo, was sitting
by the depot window writing a letter
when the sky lighted up as bright as
day.
He looked up, he said, and was
astonished to see the heavenly visi
tor flashing across the sky with
lightning speed.
Holmes described It as "big as
house" and bluish white, in color
As it sped, it left a trail of blue
came, a second later, wnen it ap
parently crashed to earth, there was
a terrific blast.
Will Mitchell, brakeman, working
in the yards outside also saw the
meteor and told Holmes it "nearly
scared me to death." Both men said
it appeared to be about one hundred
feet high.
R. I. Monroe, operator at South
Dend for the railroad and Ity. J,
Krone, of Lincoln, heard the explo
sion but did not see the meteor, they
told Holmes over the railroad's tele
graph line. Alvo is about half way
between South Bead and Lincoln.
The meteor was traveling south,
out of the north. Holmes reported.
He had no idea where it may have
hit.

our exhibit "A'.' proving that ability
to draw and paint is a measure of
intelligence. That's all It takes, oth
erwise how can you account for the
fact that Carl, without previous
training, with a few odd brushes and
some floor paint painted a picture of
a horse called "Sugar" and crashes
into the 5-State Art Exhibit at Jos
lyn Memorial, beating out profession
als with years of reputation. Carl
must be good or the rest terrible;
anyway, we're going to look into it,
and advise you to do the same. While
we're at it, Mrs. Benollcen (the
brains of the Benolken family and
our alter ego) is'represented with a
portrait, in oil, of a Bohemian girl
in national costume.
