About four weeks ago Grandma
Clarkson , while visiting her son ,
Will Clarkson , run a needle into
her hand while scraping up some
scattered crumbs with her hands
from the table where the children
had been doing bead work. The
needle broke into two pieces , one
goiLg in each hand. She managed
to get the piece out of her right
hand but the longer and sharp part
of the needle sunk deep into her
left hand and broke into three
pieces , two of which the doctor cut
out , while the other piece is 3Tet in
her hand. It was quite a serious and
painful accident and might have
resulted more seriously , but we
are glad to report that she is get
ting along very nicely now and we
hdpa that the other piece of the
needle can be located and taken
out or that it will cause no further

< Wash Honey , the Wood Lake
philanthropist , was up last Friday
on business and made us a pleasant
visit. He tells us that they will
have a grand ball on Thanksgiving
night at his hall. Kreycik's orch
estra , of Arabia , will furnish the
music and a supper will be served
at McNamee's hotel. Everybody
who attends this ball will have a
splendid time for they do things
right down there on Thanksgiving.
Fortunately there were but few
people on the street Monday night
when two soldiers from the Fort
engaged in a shooting fray , about
6:30 : p. m. , near Pettycrew's store.
Pool and Williams were the par
ticipants in the affair , Williams
being shot three times while on the
run by Pool ; in the arm , back and
hand. None of the shots were ser
ious. The bullets in the back and
arm were removed by Dr. Furay.
Three of the shots were wild and
had the usual number fof people
been on the street some innocent
party might have been killed.
When anything happens why
don't some one tell the editor ? He
cannot always be where something
happens or is going to happen no
more than the marshal. Why
don't some one take an interest in
elling these things ? If you are
in town from the country and
something has happened out your
way , why not tell us about it in
stead of slipping around the corn
er' and skooting out of town and
then wondering why the paper
didn't give a great big glowing ac
count of some important item.
We wonder why you don't give
some account of these things that
go towards making up the history
of our country ? A copy of THE
DEMOCRAT goes each week to the
State Historical Society and is
placed on file there as a part of
the history of Nebraska. Why
not bring in an item now and then ?
There are people who want to know
just as you want to know what's
going on somewhere else.
There has been some talk now
and then of the inauguration of
several enterprises here that un
questionably would be not only a
benefit but a profit to our town , if |
they ever should become a"reality ,
From what we can understand it
is more than likely that a hospital
will be built before many months
have elapsed , the articles of incor
poration having been applied for j
and all the stock sold. The hospital - ,
tal that was conducted here some' '
years ago was a success. There is
no reason why one now could not
be made a more decided success.
There have also been rumors afloat
of a theatre , but whether or not
there is anything tangible in the
project we have not been able ? to
learn. Surely something of this
kind is needed here for the diver
sion of our people. It is to be
hoped that some one will be able
to see enough in it to give us a
place of innocent amusement where
dull care can be occasionally driv
en away. While we are speaking
of new enterprises , it occurs to us
that there is a good field' open for
a steam laundry. There is no reas
on why the money spent for the
laundry of our linen should not be
kept right here instead of being
sent to some outside town. Just
how much could be made out of
such an enterprise it is impos
sible to say , but we believe
that a business of that kind/
properly managed could be made
to yield large returns on the money
