Great Jehosophat! President and
Mrs. Taft, according to telegraphic
dispatches, took a walk through the
snow last Sunday afternoon. Will
wonders never cease?
It is claimed Alliance has had the
proposed new state normal salted as
its own from the time of its passage
by the legislature—same as some un
kind critics say of Kearney and her
normal possession. But has it?
The University of Copenhagen has
decided that Dr. Cook did not reach
the north pole and that he is a fraud
of the first water. At this Peary
grunts, “I told you so.” But then
Peary has not proven he was there,
either. Suppose Peary is another,
what then?
Demo-pop-fuso candidates for con
gress are getting quite numerous
already now, the latest to shy his
castor into the arena being Judge
Dean of Broken Bow. He is the
fourth or fifth man who imagine they
can tit their feet in our Moses’ con
gressional shoes^^^^^^
The failure of the Shallenberger
adminstratlon to properly manage
the affairs of the state is evidenced
by the condition that prevails at the
Lincoln Hospital for the Insane,
where the superintendent is writing
to relatives of patients being cared
for begging for money and clothing
for their maintenance. Such a con
dition establishes thoroughly either
the incompetence of the management
or the carelessness of the legislature,
and the governor can take his choice.

The controversy in regard to the
north pole will now take a back seat,
while the smart savants will take up
the discussion as to which is the
shortest day of the year. According
to a long article in the State Journal
on Monday, Dec. 21 is a fake Cook
and the 22d is the Peary and wins
the prize as the shortest. This de
duction is made from scientific obser
vations and the 21st is now to be
considered in the light the Copen
hagen University has found Dr. Cook.
The story then goes on to state that
some time during the next century
the exigencies of the earth’s revolu
tions as to its relations with Old Sol,
will cause Dec. 20th to be the short
est day. Thus are our idols shattered
and who knows but the Fourth of
July will yet get in its work as the
shortest day.
Deadly Crossing
Gets Two Victims
Young Couple Badly In
jured-Girl May Die
Horses Killed.
Reports reach us of a serious ac
cident at a deadly railroad crossing
just west of Hazard, last Saturday
night, in which a young couple were
run into by a freight train, and
dragged for some distance, their
horses killed, and resulting in serious
and possibly fatal injury to the young
woman while her companion was
also badly, though not fatally hurt.
The story as it comes to us is as fol
lows: Troy Sheehan and Miss Hope
Eastabrook, living five miles east of
Litchfield, had been attending a dance
at Hazard Christmas night, and while
oa their way home about 1 o’clock
in the morning, and driving over
the railroad crossing where a deep cut
precludes the sight of trains coming
from either direction, a heavy freight
bore down upon them, struck the
outfit squarely, killing both horses
and dragging the buggy and its oc
cupants several rods before they were
extricated from their perilous posi
tion and cast to one side. The acci
dent occurred only a few rods from
the farm house of Robt. Frost, where
Miss Eastabrook was taken, and she
was found so badly cut about the
head that a number of stitches had
to be taken, and where she now lies
in a precarious state. Sheehan, while
hurt severely, was able to be taken to
his home and latest reports are to the
effect he is getting along all right.

Christmas is over and everybody
had a goo time so far as known. The
Christmas, tree at the church was
well filled and there was a large at
tendance. Everyone received pres
ents and the program by the chiilbren
was well rendered and appreciated by
all, both young and old, and all hope
to see many more such gatherings.
Willis Fullition and family had a
reunion Chrisnmas day. Ten of his
eleven children were there, also the
grandchildren and other friends and
relatives. Eighteen people sat down
to Christmas dinner. Mr. Charles
Johnson and family of York county,
Mrs. Hester Heath of Norden, Neb.,
George and Marion Fulliton of York,
Mrs. Viola Lewis of Boelus, Richard
Brodock and wife, Mrs. Effa Cady
and Mrs. Emma Haak were the cliil
dren and guests.
Sunday afternoon Prof. Boone of
Loup City took a view of Willis Full!,
ton’s residence and family.
Reports received here Sunday last
were to the effect that ex-Gov. .1. H.
Mickey was on his death-bed at his
home in Osceola. For a month past
the governor has been very ill, grow
ing worse day by day, till the report
of Sunday which abandons hope of
his recovery. His illness is from
anaemia.
A great blizzard swept the southern
and New England states Christmas,
even as far west as Des Moines heavy
snow blocking all traffic. Phila
delphia and New York City report
the heaviest snow in years. At Bos
ton, in addition to the snow came a
great tidal wave that inundated the
shores, waves twenty to thirty feet
in height sweeping inland, causing
many deaths and destroying hundreds
of thousands of dollars’ worth of
property. And here in Nebraska we
were enjoying God’s sunshine and the
balmy breezes of Southern California.
Stand up for Nebraska; why, of course.
