Pecular Railroad Accident
Nebraska City Nob Jan 23 A
Burlington freight train that left this
point Thursday afternoon for Red Oak
la met with a most peculiar mishap
and one that has never occurred before
in this part of the state without the
train being wrecked The train con
sisted of 25 loaded cars and after cross
ing the bridge over the river and going
down the heavy grade on the east side
one of the cars a heavily loaded car of
wheat jumped the track and rolled
down the bank The car was in the
middle of the train and none of the oth
er cars left the track but continued
down onto the level track where the en
gineer seeing that the train had broken
in two called for brakes The train
continued on its journey after being
coupled up to Nebraska City junction
where the car was missed and so re
ported The bridge tenders noticed
the accident and reported it up town
Men sent out to clear the track found
the car clear of tho right of way and
almost reduced to kindling No one is
able to explain just how the accident
happened or what prevented the car
from wrecking the rear end of the train
when it left the track Star special

A 3Iriiietic Personality
A magm ic personality which at
tracts the common run of mortals as
moths are attracted to a candle is
much coveted in these days and is cer
tainly a valuable poscsen b t it will
perhaps be some consolation to the wo
man who cannot attract tlc attention
of everybody in a room tin moment
she enters it that many great inn and
women had no personality worth
mentioning There is a story of Fanny
Burney sitting unobserved in n corner
and having to be dragged into promi
nence at a rout Browning was disap
pointed when he met George Eliot
though they afterward became friends
Charlotte Bronte was always at a dis
advantage in society and many other
similar cases might be mentioned
Great minds are often without this
charm of manner while persons of
quite ordinary talents may have the
faculty of mesmerizing not only those
with whom they come into immediate
contact but all their contemporaries
thus acquiring a fame out of all pro
portion to their merits
A Mini to EncournRC
Wendell Phillips used to tell this sto
ry on Smprson with considerable glee
Once while I was lecturing in the
west a young fellow came up to me as
I was leaving the platform He intro
duced himself explained that a lecture
course was being talked of in his town
for the next season and wanted to
know if I would be kind enough to
suggest some good lecturers I replied
that I would be glad to do so and
named Henry Ward Beecher George
William Curtis Bayard Taylor and
Emerson
Emerson Emerson said the
young fellow looking perplexed Who
Is Emerson
I informed him that Emerson was
the leading philosopher of the country
one of its great original thinkers The
young fellow reflected a moment and
then observed
Well Mr Phillips well put Emer
son on our course if you say so I sup
pose a man of that sort ought to be en
couraged
In Earnest Then
I have noticed said the offhand
philosopher that a woman will get a
golf dress when she has no intention to
play golf
Thats so agreed the man with the
incandescent whiskers
And continued the offhand philos
opher she will get a ball gown when
she cares nothing about dancing and a
tennis dress when she wouldnt play
tennis for fear she Avill freckle and a
bathing suit when she has no thought
of going into the water and a riding
habit when the very thought of climb
ing on a horse gives her the chills
and
Yes interrupted the man with the
incandescent whiskers but when she
gets a Avedding dress she means busi
ness Ever notice that Judge
