Terrible Accident.

A very distressing accident happened
to Sherman Bryant in the railroad yard
here about 8 O'Clock Monday morning,
Sherman was coming to town Tor break
second section of freight train No. 4.
No. Z was in the yard made up and
ready to leave, and according to all ac-
counts was in motion when Sherman
tried to cross between two ears. HIS
feet slipped and he fell, and for a second
it seemed that his body would go under
the wheels, but he pushed himself out
Of the way until he was clear, with the
exception of his lett hand, which Was
run over and ground to a shapeless mass.
He will lose the four fingers and one
half of the hand. The thumb was not
hurt.
When the injured man rose to his
feet after he had been run over, switch
man Tom Berry came along and Bryant,
holding up the mangled hand, said to
Tom: "Good God, look at that,'
The shock. seemed to have made the
wound painless. Tom took Bryant to
DR.. Jacknran's office forthwith, and Mrs.
.Jackn,an came to the door. She was
badly frightened at the sight. DR..
Jackman dressed the hand, and just
before noon a specisl train, consisting OF
an engine and coach, in charge of Train
master Donelin, took Bryant to Reno.
Bryant is a brakeman in the employ
of the S. r. Co. and runs east from
Wadsworth. He was not on duty at
the time the accident hrppened. He
has lived in Wadsworth for n few years
and has N wife here, a daughter of b.
NJ. Shaber. Mr.. Bryant was raised on
the Truckee Meadows, where his parents
now reside.
1t is probable that the hand will have
to be amputated. 1t WAS dressed at
Reno again by Dire. Thoma and Jark-
man, and Bryant was sent to the rail-
road hospital by the evening passenger
train.

TO the Public.

The public school of Wa1sworth Il
VERY nluen crowded, in fact Is overflow
iGg. The present rooAs Will not nearly
accommodate the pupils as they should.
Take, for in stance, the primary depart
lnent, with sixty pupils and one teacher
Think of it SIXTY children in one small
room, and yet We expect gooo results
from conditions like these.
The other rooms are proportionately
crowded, The Trustees have tried Varl-
GUS plans to obviate This congested con-
,lition OF the school, but find that finally
there is only enc real remedy, and that
is more ro0ms.
Under the circumstances, the Irus-
tees have decided t. call "a special cleo
ton aud have the people decide whether
they wish the present condition OF
affairs to continue or 10 build another
room and nave a good school in every
sense of the word.
The ex pense OF adding this room ana
furnishing SAME, and repairing the en-
ire building, fences, o%uthouses, etc,
will be 81 .20). This would entail a tax
oil between 20 and 20 cents per 500. Il
places our school where it should be-ir
the front rank.
This school has been running under
great disadvantages a long time, as re-
CARDS rooms. As the remedy is go
easily applied, and the cost so slight to
each individual, it should be granted
without a dissenting vote.
The proper way to have a good school
is for the community to work together
and simply agree as to method and the
desired object ii easily attained.
Considering the importance OF this
matter, the rtst will be tritlng, and the
you'd resulting thereirom beyond meas
ure.
We appeal to the parents particularly
to see that this vote carries, thereby en-
stirring the proper education of your
little ones and rendered untold benefit
10 the entire community.

Coronas VS.. Piutes.

The baseball game OH Decoration Day
in Reno between the Coronas AMI Piutes
resulted in a victory for the former.
The Indians play good ball and for q
time it looked like they had the game,
but the Coronas got ''onto themselves
and cleaned up tine redskins. Tie
latter played until the eight inning. hut
saw they were ''cooned" and threw up
the sponge. There was a large audien, 9
present and the Indians showed their
superior knowledge Of the national
game, but in this instance couldn't
''play all."-Journal.

An exchange has the following re-
garding the running of a town which
has q genuine ring, and which ia espec-
tally applicable to Wadsworth just at
present : EITHER run it with a vim or
sell out and leave it. Men who art.
always trying to get out Of business will
never do much for any town. One or
two things must be done--run the thing
for all its worth get up steam and
keep it up, or quit, slide out and let
let nature take its course. II you want
business to come to your town encourage
those who do ONE Ii you want a
prosperous town, where people can come
who are disposed to make homes, then
do away with and bury from sight all
jealousy and spite and work more for
common prosperity and mutual benefit.
Wake up! rub your eyes, roll up your
sleeves and go to work. DO not work
with fear and trembling, but take i. for
granted that blood will tell. Leave re-
suits to themselves, borrow no trouble,
but all unite to make it the biggest kind
OF a town. Go to work.

Can You SleeD7

Homely language, like a homely girl,
may be so illuminated by direct intelli-
gence as to become positively fascinat-
ing. When we say, "I've had a cool
nap" it's homely, but my, doesn't it
mean q lot! Many cant sleep-don't
even know what = good nap is These
weary ones toss, turn and agonize, wear
out their brains and boiles,-a useless
waste of energy and lie. Pabst Malt
Extract, the BEST" Tonic, will bring
sleep to you-you will nestle to slumher
like u, tired child. Take a glass just be-
fore going to bed, and in ten minutes
you will go drowsily to Sunderland.
After a week or so sleep will come nat
urally and you won't need the Tonic.
Health, strength and mental calmness
come also to help the weak, the weary
and the heavy-laden, for PABST MALT
EXTRACT is the BEST Tonic.

.,Nhat is the matter with Ore

'sWhat is the matter with Ore

There is nothing in the world the
matter with Oregon. But with a
very large part OF her people there
is much the matter. They are lazy
and improwdent. They don't like
to work, and will not work, If they
can help it, Then, in their idle
hours their heads are filled up
with stuff mischievous and notions
foolish. They want to make good
times" by reform of society and
government. Their thought is CEN
tered on this folly. So yesterday,
a citizen OF Portland, who said he
had a call for eight men, to be sent
to work out of town on a job where
the wages would give them $22 to
$24 month clear, declared that 1t
was a troublesome commission, for
he didn't know where the men
could be had, nor how to get them,
Of course, be wanted workmen, not
hobos. This one thing is the mat
ter with Oregon. or rather with a
very large portion of the people OF
Oregon. They do not want to
work, but they do want to reform
society and government; and mean
time they want society and govern
ment to support them .-Oregonian'
