I. M. Rice is at Lincoln this
ft
( week attending the Nebraska Press
Association.
Editor Geo. Miles , formerly of
the Ainsworth Herald , is now edi
tor of the O'Neill Independent.
We wish him success.
"Win. Brown , who lives north
west of Crookston , was kicked by
a horse last Thursday and nearly
killed. At present he is some
better.
E. D. Tryon , from south of
Arabia , brought in a load of nice ,
bright baled hay last Friday and
while in town found time to call at
our office to get acquainted.
F. ! M. Seger , a prosperous ranch
man and farmer of North Table ,
called at our office while in town
Monday and paid his subscription
another year in advance to THE
DEMOCRAT.
Hon. L. II. S liter , of Neligh ,
Nebr. , called at our office last Fri
day while in town , visiting at the
home of W. A. Pettycrew. "We
enjoyed a pleasant visit with him
and hope to meet him again.
Editor Mufcz , of the Western
Rancher , called at our office last
Saturday while in to.vn. AVe en
joyed a pleasant visit for a couple
of hours and was sorry when his'
train came to take him home. He
had been up west and stopped oft'
on his way home.
We need a new depot. This one
is too small for the business clone
in the town , and a waiting room
for women should be provided.
Many times when women are com
pelled to wait for a train they must
go into a room clouded with smoke ,
foul with tobacco juice and over
loaded jags , and they must sit or
stand in common with a mixture
of Negroes , Indians and rough
people who do not always use
choice language. A new depot is
needed.
( Omitted by oversight la t w. ek , )
Al H. JMetzgar called at our of
fice last Saturday and ordered his
paper sent to Cedar Creek , Nebr. ,
until further notification , after
fpaying up for a year in advance
for the paper and brand ad of .
Metzgar Bros. Mr. Metzgar took
in the boxing contest in the eve
ning and next morning went down
to Ainsworth to attend the funeral
of Sam Chesnut's boy , Sidney , who
died from the effects of a stab in
the throat , done accidentally by a
schoolmate in play Friday after
noon.
It having- come to the notice of
citizens of our town last Thursday
that John Green was lying- sick in
bed in the west part of town and
that his family was in destitute
circumstances , D. W. Hilsinger
and W. A. Kimball went up to see
them and found that the family
was in need of assistance. A sub 1
scription paper was started at once
and our citizens gave liberally.
There is no place where people ,
who are in actual need , are better
cared for than here and yet some
people persist in sayingto the
detriment of our city , that it is
the worst town of its size they ev
er saw and give impressions to
people" who come here that arc not
favorable nor just. Why not say
that this is the best town of its
size in the state and not qualify
the statement by ifs , ands , buts , '

The strong- north wind is blowing ,
We hear the storm's fierce call ;
The herds in pastures lowing- ,
And snow begins to fall.
The cold wave is a hummer ,
On telegraph wires and phone.
We like to think of summer
Down in a warmer zone.
These winter winds are chilling1 ,
When we're not used to cold ;
Our coal bins need refilling
When wo are short on gold.
The coal supply is shorter
Each year as strikes increase ;
We need a good exhortcr ,
To keep our minds at peace.
Why don't some mighty preacher
Attack these wrongs to man ?
Why are they not a teacher
To tell now they began ?
Will some one make a starter
To call these strikerstdown ,
Who think they have a charter
To strike and freeze a town ?
They have a perfect right sir ,
To quit when e'er they will.
But not the right to fight sir ,
Those who their places fill.
If owners of these mines sir ,
Can't keep the work alive ,
They'd best give up the lines sir
For Uncle Sam to drive.
W.
from Accidental Stati-
Account as given in Ainsworth
Star-Journal is in part as follows : '
"Two boys , Sidney Chesnutand !
Ealph Williams , close neighbors '
and most intimate chums , were !
strolling about the streets last Fri
day afternoon after school , and in
their play , in a way that can hardly
be understood , a knife in the hands
of Ralph inflicted a wound in the
base of Si-laey's throat which in a
littb while proved fatal , ll.il ph
did not realize that there had been
any accident until Sidney tolcl him
that he had been hurt' and asked
to be taken to a doctor. Other
young people within a few feet did
not know that anything unusual
had happened for some mo-jients ,
and then did not know which boy
needed a doctor until blood was
seen. The wounded lad was taken
to the Oiiice of Dr. Murphy where
it was found that a small but dan
gerous cut h-ul been made in the
throat and that the trachea Ivid
been punctured. Dr. L'lmb , as
sisting Dr. Murphy , lh > blood (
which had gathered in the lungs '
was drawn oil , respiration restored j
and heart action stimulated. Favorable - ! v
orable results followed immediately - !
ly and strong1 hopes of recovery
were entertained until about nine
o'clock in the eveningAt that
hour there was a collapse of the ;
system from the loss of blood and !
the shock , and the boy quietly ] ;
breathed his last. After the wound
and during his moments of consciousness - I
sciousness he was much distressed i
for his mother , and realized what i
the shock would be to her. Sidney
was about 1-i years old. and was
the only son of Mr. and Mrs. S.
W. Chesnut , who have the sym- ,
pathyofthe whole community in j
their bereavement. The funeral
occurred Sunday afternoon at the
home of the family , the services \
being conducted by the Rev. Qon- i
nell , pastor oJ the Methodist
church. The very large attend
ance of friends from all parts of
the county is an index of the sorrow
row and sympathy felt by all. "
