The west bound passenger train on the

tbe passengers quite a serious shaking
up by running into a couple of cinder
cars at Hill Siding, this side of Leigh,
in getting onto the tide track to give a

knowing that the cinder cars were on
tbe side track, the engineer ran into
them with sufficient speed to put tbe
engine entirely out of commission, and
badly demolishing the cinder cars.
Fortunately none of tbe passengers were
injured to any beriouB extent. A travel

There is much speculation as to the
probable damage to tbe fruit crop from
Monday morning's cold snap, and the
snow of tbe preceding dy. The ther
mometer stood about twenty-six above
on Monday morning, hut there was con
siderable moisture and this may have
had a tendency to check the harm that
would have otherwise resulted.
One o the most important chan
ges in business circles in Monroe for
many years occurred Monday of this
week, when Wm. Webster retired from
the Hank of Monroe, which institution
he founded, and was biiccecded by Rod
ney Hill of Drill, la. For sometime Mr.
Webster has been contemplating a chan
ge on account of his health, and retiring
from the Imuk, witb which be has been
closely identified since 1892. After the
tranefer was made new officers were
elected and Rodney, who purchased Mr.
Webster's interests, was elected presi
dent, and Howard J. Hill, who has been
cashier for about ten years, was re-elected
to that position. Miss Maude Jacob-
son, who has held tbe position of book
keeper, is retained in that capacity.
Mr. Hill, the new president, is from
Britt, Iir., where he has been with the
citizens bank. He is a graduate of
Princeton university, and the last three
years has been engaged in business.
His father, who died iwo years ago. was
prominent in financial circles in northern
Iowa for many years. Mr. and Mm.
Hil! arrived from Britt Friday of last
week, and are at present located in the
Craig residence.

The raucous monotony of the cry,
"Watch your step! Watch your

he rearranged it thus:

ONLY WORK COUNTS
WOMAN IN BUSINESS SHOULD
NOT BE SENSITIVE.
She. Is Not Paid Because She Is Pretty
r Stylish, but Because She la
Useful to the
-Business.
The woman who finds herself facing
the problem of earning a living should
Immediately proceed to get rid of her
sensitive feelings. If she has any. She
would do well to try to sink her per
sonality during business hours and
keep saying to herself that only her
work counts, that she is not paid be
cause she is pretty or stylish, but just
because she is useful to tbe business
which pays her wages. When she falls
in that her good locks will not save
her. A capable girl with, perhaps,
neither beauty nor style, will succeed
her.
The employers who are hiring girls
for their charms are few, and the girls
who have to work are many. Femi
nine workers are striving to secure
the wages of men. which can only be
done by doing men's work. Now men
do not expect praise and it does not
turn their head when it Is given. As
a rule they do not accept reproof as
a personal injury.
The just employer gives both praise
and blame. When he pays promptly
he expects good work every day and
not according to the feelings of his
workers. When there is a valid rea
son for leniency like illness, for in
stancehe is kind, but for shirking
he has no mercy. A man who em
ploye more than fifty women told me
that he had no trouble with them be
cause he treated them exactly as he
would treat men. His creed was so
much work for so much money and he
reasoned that no woman had a right
to accept a position she could not fill.
I think that was fully understood by
his office, for he was in the habit of
going away and returning without
warning, and he seemed satisfied with
the result
Women are not yet accustomed to
being treated with the lack of cour
tesy which makes the atmosphere of a
business place. A man whose brain la
turning over important plans cannot
give particular attention to the tone
in which he addresses an employee. It
may be brusque without his knowing
it or intending any unkindness. A man
would pay no attention to tone as long
as words were decent, but to a wo
man's sensitive ear the tone Is every
thing. It seriously affects her work,
so business men claim, and it is the
necessity for avoiding trouble that
turns them In favor of male workers.
I saw a badly Ironed sheet taken back
to the kitchen recently by a woman
who is never anything but kind to her
employees. "When you find clean
clothes that look like this. Mary, do
not bring them to me; do them over."
The girl burst into tears with the re
mark that nobody had ever found fault
w? b her laundry till then. It re
quired some reasoning to bring her to
a proper frame of mind, and the wo
man decided to replace her by one
less sensitive at the earliest oppor
tunity. It came last week. Betty
Bradeen in The Buffalo Enquirer.
Had the Appetite.
It was at a recent Friars' dinner
that Augustus Thomas told the story
of a newspaper man's laudable appe
tite. There had arisen a controversy
over the ability of a man to eat two
quails a day for thirty consecutive
days. A Park Row reporter was asked
if he would undertake the task. "Say.
Bill." he replied, "make it turkey."

On Monday of this week Mies Dora
Groeger, well known in this locality,
passed through Platte Center ob her way
to LaFsyette, led , where she will join
tbe Franciscan order and become a sis
ter of obsrity. Mire Uroeger carries
with her tbe good wishes of her many
friends from this neighborhood.
When the census of Platte Center was
taken last Jane, but 388 people were
listed, and this was probably all there
were here at that time. Bat that we
have been growiBg ia Bambers since
then can be verified by anyone well ac
quainted here who will take a piece of
paper and a pencil and "count the
opsee." We have saeh a list before us
which shows that there are approximat
ely foar hundred asd fifty people living
in the village of Platte Center today, a
gain of sixty since last June.
Winneld 8cott Kerr, until about two

here oa Satarday Boon's train and were
removed to the Congregational church,
north of Monroe, where the funeral ser
vices were held that afternoon, and the
burial was in the New Hope cemetery.
Deceased came here some 30yearsago
with his parents. He bad a homestead
near Chsrdon on which he was living a
portion of the time and in Ohadron the
balance of the time. He was taken sick
about a week before bis deatb, at Ohad

arrived the day Le died. He was 4'J
years of age, unmarried, and leaves four
brothers and three sisters.
CENTRAL CITY.
From tho Nonpareil.
The people of Nebraska have about
come to the conclusion thst Jack Frost
hss a perpetual grudge against this state
and that be is determined to satisfy it
every Bpring. There never was a better
prospect for a fruit crop than we bad up
to Sunday night, and people were con
gratulating themselves that we bad pass
ed tbe danger limit by several weeks so
far as danger from frost was concerned.
And then Sunday evening, on the heels
of a good rain, it suddenly turned cold
about dark and began to snow. It
snowed for several hoars and then got
colder so that Monday morning people
up to see their cherished fruit blossoms
and their raddishea and onions stioking
up out of the snow and ice. Monday it
cleared off and that night was still cold
cr. Tbe freeze of Sunday night did not
do auy great damage, as the snow was a
protection, but tbe freeze Monday night
did the bustaeas. The thermometer re
gistered 28 degrees above zero that
night. So far as reported there has
been but little damage to wheat, oate
and olhtr early crops.
' One of tbe business men who was
caught on the jury this week was over
heard complaining about the job some
thing after this Iaibion: "Why. tbey
pay no attention whatever to a juryman.
He is treated worse than the defendant
in a criminal case. A lawyer comes in
to court and pleads other busiuees or
eickness or some other excuse and tbey
let him postpone bis case. The court
and the lawyers discuss whether tbey
shall have a night session or not and if
doe of them has a headache or an en
gagement tbe night session is called off,
but tbe members of tbe jury don't have
a word to say about it. A farmer or a
business man may have important mat
ters awaiting bis attention and be may
want a night session but if he happens
to be on the jury be is not consulted.
Tbe jury is herded together like a bunch
of criminals and treated with suspicion
by everybody. Ob, it's fun to be a juror
in this land of the free and tbe borne of
tbe brave. The last legislature raised
our pay to fa a day, but that doesn't
lake the sure spots off of me." Any
husy man who has had experience in
this capacity will know bow to sympa
thize with this gentleman.
