Two Trains Wrecucd.
Early Saturday morning , be
tween five and six o'clock , two
freight trains , one loaded with
stock and one with coal , tried to
go in opposite directions on the
same track a short distance below
Merriinan with very poor success.
Evidently someone had been
careless in receiving or giving
orders. We understand the train
men were not to blame.
One train consisting of nine cars
of stock was going east , the other ,
oming west. When the engines
struck , the speed did not exceed
ight or ten miles an hour. One
engine crew jumped and the other
stayed on the engine. Fortunate
ly none of either crew were hurt.
Something like ten head of cat-
ile were killed ; both engines , al-
; hough they remained on the track ,
were badly used. Only three cars
were oil : the track. The crack it
self was damaged very slightly.
While the damage to rolling-
stock and track did not seem great
yet it is probable that somebody's
arelessnes cost the company in
: he neighborhood of three thous
and dollars.
The engine men were Slater and
Frederickson , Sharrer and Morris.
The conductors , Fowler and Mc-
Kinley. Chadron Journal.

Wlim to Advertise.
There's nothing oh earth so
mysteriously funny as an adver
tisement. The prime , first and
last , and all-the-time objects of an
advertisement is to draw custom ,
[ t is not and never will be , design
ed for any other purpose.
It often occurs that a merchant
waits till the busy season comes
and his store is so full of custom
ers that he can't get his hat off ,
bhen he rushes to his printer and
goes in for advertising. When
the dull season gets along and
there is none , trade and he wants
to sell his goods so bad he can't
pay his rent , he stops advertising.
There are times when you could
n't stop people from buying every
thing in the store if you planted a
cannon behind the door , and that's
the time when the advertisement
is sent out on its holy mission.
It makes light work for adver
tising , for a chalk sign on the
sidewalk could do all that was
needed , and a half-holiday six days
in a week ; but who wants to favor
an advertisement ?
They are built to do hard work ,
and should be sent out in dull
days , when a customer has to be
knocked down with hard facts , and
kicked insensible with bankrupt
reductions , and dragged in with
irresistible slaughter of prices , be
fore he will spend a cent.
That's the end and aim of ad
vertising , and if you ever open a
store , don't try to get them to
come when they are already stick
ing out of the windows , but give
them your advertisement right be
tween the eyes in a dull season.
The time to draw "trade is when
you want business , and not when
you have more business than you
can tend to already. Humphrey
Democrat.
The enormous increase in the de
mand for Storz Blue Ribbon Beer
has forced the 'Story Brewinn Co.
of Omaha to build a big addition
to their Stock-house this fall. It
will be equipped wtth the largest
glass enameled tanks in the west.
The Storz Brewing Co. is rapidly
becoming the foremost brewery in
the Trans-Mississippi states , due
to the superior quality and delic
ious flavor of their product merit
always wins.
Dr. Ayers , the Longpine dent
ist , will be in Wood lake Dec. 3rd ,
when he will be glad to meet those
wanting first class dental work. 413

Concerning Eilitors.
A little boy in town was given
ihe task by his father of writing
an essay on editors the other day ,
and the following was the result of
iis efforts :
I don't know how people came
to be in the world , 1 don't think
God does , for he hain't got noth-
to say about them and the edito rs
in ttte Bible. I think the
editor is one of the missing
links you read of and stayed
in the bushes until after the ilood ,
and then came out and wrote the
whole thing up and has been here
ever since. 1 don't think he ever
dies. I never saw a dead one and
never heard of one getting licked.
Our paper is a mighty poor un ; '
the editor goes without underclothes - !
clothes all winter , don't wear no
socks and paw hain't paid his sub
scription for more than five years.
If the editor makes a mistake he
has to apologize for it , but if the
doctor makes a mistake he buries
it. If the editor makes one there
is a lawsuit , swearing and the smell
of sulphur , but if the doctor makes
one there is a funeral , cut flowers
and the smell of varnish. A doc
tor can use a word a mile long
without knowing what it means ,
but it the editor uses it he has to
spell it. If the doctor goes to see i
another man's wife he charges for
it , but if the editor goes he gets
a charge of buckshot. When the
doctor gets drunk it's heart trouble
when an editor gets drunk it's a. '
case of too much booze , and if he
cjies it's a case of delirum tremens.
Any old college can make a doctor.
You can't make an editor ; he haste
to be born. JEx.
vof winter goods in all lines is
now complete. Come and give
us a call.
