OF stale, dry bread. crumbs. Mix all the
ingredients together. Beat five eggs,
without separating, until light; add to
them half pint of grape or orange juice;

throwing the occupants out.
The Judge was just returning from
a drive with his wife and had left. her
at their residence on 3rd avenue and
was taking the team to the. barn.
About the time he was crossing 10th

reached 3rd avenue his team became
frightened at the Salvation Army
which was holding service on the cor
ner, and slackened their pace, and on
this account the tongue Of Mr.. Cory'e
vehicle caught the hind wheel o1
Swanson's rig and tipped it ovel
throwing himself and two children
out on to the ground, but they wert
not hurt. The horse started to rur
but was caught and no damage wors'
than the fright done.

after burying Mr.. Eastman, an acci-
dent occurred at the 18th street Cross.
ing.
As the rig containing Fred Rose,
owner and driver, Mrs. Eastman and
daughter, Flossie, Frank Eastman
and small brother came to the Oma-
ha track to cross an engine pulled
over the. crossing stopping so that
the "cow catcher" scarcely cleared
the end of the crossing plank and the
wheel track about four feet. Mr..
Rose then drove over and while in
front of the engine the team became
frightened at the engine and started
to run. It being on decline and
the pulling back of the tenn caused
the neck yoke to break letting the
tongue to the ground. By this time
the vehicle had about reached the
mud hole on the corner of End avenue
and 18th street. The tongue caught
in the ground and threw Rose, Flossie
and the small boy over the dash
board, and the others out into the
mnd. Fortunately no bones were
broken, but the people were badly
shaken up. The team ran home.
Thus again the necessity of the
pnblic have some protection at thi'
crossing is demonstrated. It is {
frequent occurrence to see teams *
over this crossing, requiring all the
efforts of the driver to hold them OF
account Of the close proximity of al
engine or cars.
It is not desired to unnecessaril,
agitate the citizens to some move TO
the public interests. but every da,
that the present conditions is al

An Organization Of this society o.
lists in the Presbyterian and Consre-
gational churches here. A meeting |
was held Sunday afternoon in the !
Presbyterian church, but there was = |,
smell attendance, probably owing to |
the fact that few people were aware
of it, or of the ma gnitude of such 4
convention but thought it similar to
previous and similar meetings in
his place, but such is not the case.
This convention will be attended by
five hundred, or over, delegates from
all parts of the state, holding a three
days meeting.
The state officers are desirous Of
holding this convention in some town
in the southwestern part of the state
and have given Worthington the first
choice which is compliment and
shows how this town stands outside
OF its own immediate territory. There
are many larger towns which wsuld
be pleased to secure this meeting 40
they realize the beneficial results Of
such meeting.
1t is quife an undertaking to Cred
itably provide entertainment for
such a large number of people, but it
is believed by some of our most prom
inent business men that it can be sue
cessfully done, but it will require the
combined hearty cooperation of oil
of our citizens especially the business
men.
The delegates are expected to pay
one dollar per day for their entertain.
ment and the meeting lasts three
days.
The benefits from a meeting Of thi,
kind cannot in any way he estimated
nor its manner. To have this meet
ing would give our town more wid.
> spread reputation as to its bright ant
> promising future, adaptability ast
; advantages of various character.
In the Presbyterian church We hav
a suitable place for holding such
meeting, an advantage not herstofor
u in our possession.
An adjoSrned meeting will be hell
in the Presbyterian church Sunda
afternoon at four o'clock at which
, is hoped the leading business men Z
the town will be present and len,
their wisdom and influence TO Ii

If we can creditably entertain thi
convention Others will have their eye
turned on Worthington for simila
