Yet the px- hibltlonH which have brrn given at various Mini's in tin- several towns, usually as ad juncts to street fair or carn'vals, have nervpd mcst ndmlratily to exhibit the dpcoratlve tasto and Ingcnu'ty of the women who havp been responsible for their design and pxpcutlon. It Is no stuiill undertaking to organize one uf these affairs, to Interest enough women to Insure its success from a numerical standpoint, ami to so dinct their efforts at display that the artistic ensemble shall not be In anyway disturbed.

MOODY, SECRETARY OF THE NAVY Photo by a Staff Artist, provpn by the suceoFeful show a i f this kind which have been given. Hastings Is one of the few places where It has twice been undertaken, the pxperiencp of the women of the Adams county capital In their first venture being such as to encourage them to hold anothpr. During the recent street fair there a flower parndo waB one of the main features; Indeed, It was the feature of the fair from an artistic standpoint. It Is Impossible In a photograph to reproduce the harmonic arrangement of bright colors which mado the display u brilliant affair, but some general notion of the designs may be obtained by studying th photographs Whit ac: ually happens In a collision be tween trains Is not always made clear by descriptions, and only a few people ever see the wreck. For this reason The nee prints in this ntimhtr two pictures taken shortly nfter occurrence of a collision In the switch jatds at South Omaha one day Inst week. In these pictures Is shown more graphically than can be told the difference between the types of engine now In use. The colll-lon was between a Rock Island freight train and a Union Pacific local pas senger train, bith moving in the same di rection along parallel tracks. A misplaced switch turned the heavy freight engine against the lighter passenger locomotive. What followed may be learned from the pictures. No one was seriously Injured. Trick photographs are nearly always of Interest, partleulai !y to thi- amateur photog rapher. Many things can be done with the camera to prove that if the lens will not lie. It can at least be made to distort the facts Into something that very closely re sembles a falsehood. One Instance of this Is the picture showing the little boy hang ing by the neck from the limb of a tree. It would appear, were It not for the grin cn his face, that the boy had tried to commit suicide. As a matter of fact, he Is enjoy ing the experience, while his aunt, who Is manipulating the camera, Is In no psppclal hurry, for the boy Is In no danger. Prof. I.iorenz of Vienna, Austria, has come Into sudden prominence before the Ameri can people because of his visit to this coun try to perform an operation upon the daughter of P. I). Armour, Jr., for which he received a single fee of $10,000. Prof. Lnrenz Is a man who has devoted his wh le life to orthopedic surgery the surgery of deformed children and he is the best liv ing authority on that subject. He has es tablished a particular reputation In the re duction rf congenital dlsl'ii atl"ns of the hip. from which Mr. Armour's daughter was suffering. The ordinary physician Is prac tically unacquainted with afflictions of this character and many doctors practice a life time without seeing a single case. And yet Prof. I.orenz has operated on upward of 2,000 cases of this character, his patients being drawn from all over the world. In private life Prof. Ixirenz Is a genial, good natured man, about six feet tall, with rather tawny appearance and displaying an ex traordinary love fur children. He was born forty-eight years ago In Wldenau, Oster Schles, Austria. He received his education In the University of Vienna and was a pupil cf Edward Albert, a famous surgecn of Vienna, now dead. Numbers of doctors and persons afflicted with the peculiar sort of disease Prof. I.orenz has made his specialty have seized upon his presence In this coun try as an opportunity for consultation. Be fore returning to Austria Prof. Ixirenz will make a trip to the Pacific coast and it Is possible that the b arm d physician may be entertained for a time In Omaha. William H. Moody, secretary of the navy In the cabinet of President Roosevelt, Is one of the closest of the president's official advisers. During his si r vice In congress as a representative from Massachusetts he drew to himsilf attention from the leaders of his party by his quiet but aggressive measures, his clear reasoning and the soundness of his position on questions be fore congress. He Is especially fitted to deal with matters affecting the navy by reason of his life having been spent in a seaport town, where not only his sym pathy but. his faculties were enlisted for "those who go down to the sea In ships." He has proven already that his selection was no mistake and that in him the navy has nn earnest but conservative champion nnd advocate under whose administration its affairs will prosper and Its Interests be safely guarded. Secretary Moody very recently made a short tour of the west, coming as far as Omaha, where he de livered an address to the voters. Again The lice has the pleasure of pre senting the pictures of two estimable couples who have answered the question, "Is marriage a failure?" Rippe Frerlchs, born May 31, 1831, In Upstede, Prussia, Germany, and Etta Frerlchs, born December 2f, 1827, In Friedeburg, Germany, were married at Friedeburg, Prussia, Germany, September 28, 18."i2, and came to America in 1SB2 and settled at Dixon, 111. Here they resided until 18fi8, when they moved to Monticello, la., and from this place they moved to Lemars, la.. In 1873, and then to Coleridge, Neb., In 1SS.", at which place they are still living on a nice farm. There were eight children born to them, of which four are living, who were present at their golden wedding, September 28, 1H02. Twenty-two grandchildren and one great grand child were also present. They are members of the German Lutheran church of Cole ridge and, according to the rites of the church, the golden wedding ceremony was performed by Rev. F. Hefner, the pastor of the church, who presented them with a gol den certificate. They are hale and hearty and have the promise of many years to live. John E. Gillespie and wife of Atlantic, la., celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary on Tuesday, October 7, 1902. They were wedded In Ottumwa fifty years ago, Mrs. Gillespie's maiden name beln Miss Lydla Hedrlck. A son, Frank Gillespie of Colo rado Springs, and a daughter, Mrs. C. C. Lindner of Oskaloosa, were present at the celebration. A large company of friends called upon the happy couple during the day to extend congratulations. Mr. Gillespie was born near Cincinnati In 1829 and Is 73 years old. His wife was born near In dianapolis In 1831 and Is 68 years old. They have lived In Atlantic since 1871 and are counted among the most honored and re spected citizens of the community, where they have long been prominent In society and the affairs of the Methodist Episcopal church. Dignity Injured A reporter on one of the local dally papers is small of stature and looks and behaves like a very young boy, relates the Boston Post. One night recently he was sent to Everett on an assignment by the night city editor. He called at a house and asked for the lady he wished to Inter view. It was after 9 o'clock and the curfew had warned all children from the streets on penalty of being arrested and locked up. The questions the reporter asked the lady were Impertinent, but Important.

Now run along home or you will get arrested and locked In a cold dungeon, for remember, the curfew has rung, and all little boys must be In bed nicely tuc'ted in, before the curfew rings. So run along like a good little child." The reporter choked down his wrath and went his way. But his dignity had been as sailed and he gave vent to his feelings later when be related his experiences to his chief. Now he is devoting all his en ergy to growing a mustache.
