Mall Order Baby.
Atchlson ( Kan. ) Journal : A Ne
braska exchange has won the palm for
humor at the expense of the catalogue
houses. The editor saw a chance for
a funny write-up in a story told him
by ono of the callers at his office and
printed it as follows :
"Ono of my friends on rural route
No. 3 , east of town , called last Satur
day and said bo had a good story on
the catalogue houses. If wo would not
use names. He then went on to relate
that a neighbor living over In" Wayne
county has been quite a patron of mall
order bouses in the past , and allows
the children to play with the cata
logues for amusement during the day.
One morning the nurse came out and
told him there was a new baby In the
bouse. 'Who brought it ? ' asked the
children. 'Oh , 1 know , ' said ono little
tot ; It's a mail order baby , and I bet
it's adulterated just like the pepper
and the strawberry jam was , and P.IJM
will have to keep it because he sent in
the money ! ' "

LAD FALLS UNDER THE WHEEL
Yale Wright , 7-Ycar-Old Son of Sheriff
From Brown County , Is Victim of
Unusual Accident Here Long , Wide
Gash In Lad's Forehead ,
[ l-'iom Krlilay'R Dully.1
Riding Insldo of a cab with his pa
rent H , and resting his weight on the
door , little 7-year old Yale Wright , son
of Sheriff M. A. Wright of Almuvorth ,
dropped out of the carriage when the
door suddenly swung open , tumbled
down between the wheels and wan
run over by the heavy vehicle yes
terday , enroule from the Insane hos
pital to the city. The llttlo fellow's
forehead was plowed open to the skull
by the rubber-tired wheel , though II
IH thought by the surgeoim that the
Hknll was not Injured , lie wan picked
up and hurried with all haste Into the
city , a drive of two miles , and was
earrled Into the office of Drs. Bear
& Pilger , .whore Dr. Pilger examined
the wound and placed the llttlo Injured
fellow under the Influence of chloro
form , after which the doctors took
many nlItches In the wide gash. It
was thought that ho would recover.
Mr. and Mrs. Wright , with their lit
tle boy and a baby , arrived In Norfolk
cm the ti o'clock train yesterday
I'lom the west. They brought along a
woman patlenl for the liiHano hospital
hero and took her out during the
morning. After noon they started back
to the city in cab No. 5.
If. Snnderlln. ono of the most re
liable and careful cab drivers In Nor
folk , was on the bov. After the family
had all been sealed In the cab , Mr.
Sunderlln slammed the cab door shut.
It failed the llr.st lime to lock and he
banged It to again. This time the
door apparently locked and the horses
worn started toward the city.
After leaving the hospital driveway ,
the cab Htruck the section road lead
ing south toward Norfolk avenue , and
lhi > wheels were were rolling along at
a pretty good rale. Mr. Wright no
ticed some object of Interest along
the way , called HIP attention of his
little son to the object and helped him
to his feet so that the child might look
out of the window. The little boy
leaned his weight against the door and
a moment later , while his sight was
fixed off In the fields , he plunged down
and out of the cab and between the
wheels. Before the driver could be
notified the hack had passed over the
lad's forehead , laying open the scalp
In a path many inches long and the
width of the cab wheel's lire.
On examination. It was belleveil his
skull was not broken. This fact ac-
was accounted for by Ilio rubber tires
on the cab wheels.
Mr. Sunderlln , tbo driver , said that
ho had never before had any trouble
with the lock on the door , and he waa
perfectly confident , before ho started
on the drive , that the door was HO-
curely locked. Mr. Wright Hays that
after the accident , and while ho held
the wounded child in his arms , onroulo
Into the city , the door swung open re
peatedly and could not bo fastened
shut.

Mr. Sunderlln deplored the accident
and felt as badly over It as any one
concerned.
REGRET TO SEE.HIM LEAVE.
Pierce People Feel Their Loss In Departure -
parture of Mr. Barnhart.
Fierce Leader : It Is with a deep
sense of regret that the Leader an
nounces the contemplated removal
from our midst of a good and worthy
citizen , a cltlx.un who for the past six
teen years has assisted materially by
word and act In the betterment and
uplifting of our county , of a man who
has occupied the position of county
attorney for three consecutive terms ,
and who while acting In this official
capacity , unflinchingly and admirably
prosecuted the gnllty In a vigorous
manner and protected the Innocent In
a way that endeared him to all lovers
of justice. This man is Lawyer H. F.
Barnhart.
Ho has formed a law partnership
with Judge Isaac Powers of Norfolk ,
and will move to that city just as soon
as possible , probably next week. The
new firm will occupy a handsome suite
of throe rooms on the second floor of
the Bishop block , all of the rooms hav
ing fronts overlooking the street. One
of the rooms will bo entirely taken up
with ( lie law library of tbo firm. The
library of Mr. Barnbart's alone Is an
elaborate one and this combined with
that of Mr. Powers will make their
library composed of the best and as
many of the law books as any ono of
fice in the state. Mr. Powers is a very
capable man , having lived In Norfolk
for many years and worked up a
practice of which ho can be proud. Atone
ono tlmo ho was attorney general for
Ilio state of Nebraska which In Itself
Is a distinguished honor for any man.
Ho was also a law partner of John R.
Hays until a couple years ago when
Mr. Hays became postmaster of that
city.
city.Mr.
Mr. Barnhart baa been a resident of
Pierce county slnco 1890 and has lived
In Pierce for the last ten years. Dur
ing all these years he has proven be
yond question of doubt that ho is a
number ono lawyer of great ability ,
always throwing his whole soul into
the case In which ho Is employed as
counsel , and doing his utmost to win
for his client. As a criminal lawyer
ho has very few equals in this part of
the state , and this fact can bo attested
to by thoflo who Imvo hail the pleasure
of listening to his eloquence In thlH

RESULTS
The word results means a whole lot to the farmer of to-day and it is
especially attractive to the home&ecker or those becking new locations.
If we tell you of a country where you are sure of success , will you
believe us ? It is only necessary for you to farm the land and the
best results will follow a State which the government reports will
show leads in the production of wheat. It also ranks among the first
in the raising of corn , alfalfa , timothy and other products , together
with stock raising. We speak of
KANSAS
The great State of the West , where lands can be purchased from $5
to $30 per acre which equals the returns of the $50 to $150 per acre
lands of other States. EASTERN COLORADO is identical in most
respects and the same opportunities are offered there. Buy quick
while the lands are cheap andtiecure the benefit of an excellent invest
ment. TUG MISSOURI PACIFIC RAILWAY touches the
heart of this rich agricultural region and extremely low rates are
offered , allowing stop-over at pleasure in certain territory for inspec
tion of lands , etc. Write us and we will send you free descriptive
