Thomas Twombly , owner of the
Mast block , with two daughters and
another young lady started from Chicago
cage In an automobile to make a
tour of Indiana. On August 31 , when
about fifty miles from Chicago , the
machine became unmanageable as
they were descending a steep hill.
The younger daughter was In the
seat with her father , and as the ma
chine crashed to the bottom , was
thrown Into a barb-wire fence and
severely cut and sustained a broken
shoulder. Mr. Twombly was fastened
under the machine'and the other two
In helping to release him were cut
and bruised. Mr. Twombly Is suffer
ing with a broken arm and It will be
the latter part of October before him
self and daughter are able to bo out.
Today Rome Miller , one of the most
ardent advocate of scientific farm
ing and stock raising In Madison
county , Is siloing his large eight-acre
field of corn for the feeding of his
milk cows this winter. The corn Is
cut and made Into bundles much the.
same as wheat Is cut by the binder.
It Is then carried to the chopper where
the whole stalk and ear are cut Into
pieces about an Inch long , then ele
vated up Into the silo , a largo tank
about thirty feet high , and thrown In
where It Is salted down and pickled.
When the silo Is full It Is shut up air
tight for about three months and left
to age. The theory of siloing corn
is that it becomes twice as nourishing
as the common food usually fed to
cattle durjng the winter months , and
makes the milk richer In butter fat.
Mr. Miller Is the only fanner In this
part of the country who has one on
his place.
Battle Creek Enterfirlso : While
driving home from Norfolk Saturday
evening , accompanied by her brother-
in-law , T. D. Prceco , Mrs. John Wade
was taken violently 111 and so Intense
was her suffering that she fainted be
fore reaching home. Two Norfolk
physicians wore summoned at once
and they agreed that the case was
very serious and an operation was
necessary. Drs. McDermott and
Matt O'Keefo of the Mercy hospital
at Council Bluffs and Dr. J. E. 0'-
Keefe of Waterloo , Iowa , the latter
brothers of Mrs. Wade , were tele
graphed and the three reached Nor
folk yesterday. Accompanied by
these three Burgeons , Mrs. Wndo was
taken to the Mercy hospital and there
operated upon this ( Thursday ) after
noon. Her condition at last reports
was very low , though she rallied well
after the ordeal. It was the opinion
of the surgoonH that chances for an
operation which would lead to re
covery were very few , though there
still remains hope which Is eagerly
grasped by the rnmry relatives and.
friends of this estimable lady.

DRYAN'S RADICAL IDEA HAS NOT
FOUND HOME SUPPORT.
EXPERIMENTS HAVE ALL FAILED
Right Here In the Middle West , Where
the Peerless Leader's Ideas Were
Expected to be Taken Up , They are
Repudiated by Democrats.
Omaha , Neb , Sept. < 5. Special to
The News : William Jennings Br > an's
government ownership of railroads
Ideas , as expressed by him in bis
recent speeches , have found little fa
vor In the west , where they were
supposed to meet with an enthusiastic
reception. And the reason of the
small support that Idea has received
In this portion of the country can only
be traced to the almost complete fail
ure of the attempts of the people of
the middle west to take over the
public utility corporations of the cities
and towns , nnd the poor showings
which have been made by the publicly
owned corporations of the western
cities , as well as to the disastcrous
failures made when western states
have Invested In railroad building in
past years.
The middle west remembers the
great graft schemes of the government
aided Union Pacific , Southern Pacific ,
and other early western railroads , and
the people out on this section know
how government money was squand
ered by hundreds of thousands of dollars
lars In the building of those roads.
It Is also remembered here that tile
state of Missouri once went Into the
railroad building and owing business ,
and after investing about $20,000,000
In constructing railroads from St.
Louis towards Omaha and the west
that slate llnally went out of the rail
road business with a loss of $25,000-
000. The fact that Missouri was , once
heavily Interested In railroads Is not
generally known throughout the coun
try , but the west well remembers it
and wants no moro of the experiment.
In Omaha , the failure of public own
ership of public utility corporations
has caused the citizens to look askance
on all attempts of the people to em
bark In public ownership of anything
at all. Having befoio them the total
failure of the municipal market house ,
with a loss of every cent Invested , and
an almost complete failure of _ tho' '
municipal asphalt plant , the public
Is not In a mood to follow Mr. Bryan
Into government ownership of rail
roads or anything else. ,
Doctor George L. Mlllor of Omaha ,
for twenty-five years the leading demo
crat of the state , In an open letter to
democrats , has just asked " Is Mr.
Bryan crazy ? " and predicts that ho
will not secure the nomination for
president In tbo next democratic na
tional convention. "And If by any
chance ho does secure this nomina
tion , " the letter continues , "ho will bo
beaten worse than In his previous cam
paigns. "
The west has seen a grat deal moro
of publicly owned public utilities than
the east has. When the great middle
west was first cleared of Indians and
opened for settlement , many dreamers ,
theorists , socialists , etc. , ciiino Into
the new country and pioniulgntod
their Ihoorloh. It sounded \\oll
"Kvory thing for the people , " nnd the
people , In du/ons of towns and KH > \ \ -
ing cities , undertook the managi-mr-iit
of the water works , electric HK'HH ' , KHS
companies , etc.
Bonds were Issued and sold to
eastern investors. t'Hiinll.v a loni ?
time bond was issued and It \\as
pioinlbcd by the dreamers that \\hon
the obligations fell duo , HIP piollts of
the concern bonded wopld bo sulliclc'iit
to take up the bond Issue.
Tlio predictions proved true in n
fccases. . In most , how CUT , \\hi-n
the bonds became duo , there was
nothing in the sinking tundilli
wlhch to meet them , and the pioporty
Itself passed Into the hands of the
bondholders after the citizens had
paid the taxes on them for years and
years. Today very few of the towns
which once boasted "our own public
utility corporations" now own these
corporations , and having had their
"lllng" of owning things of that kind ,
those western towns nnd people are
ready to steer clear of government
ownership In future.
Many western democrats who had
opposed Bryan In former years were
determined to support him upon his
return from bis trip around the world ,
but his Ideas on government owner
ship of railroads have estranged them
from him and they will again tight
him at the polls , preferring almost any
other leader of note rather than Bryan
and his "railroad Idea. "
