HURT ma RUNAWAY.
Dale sseEers' Rubber-Firs buggy DemOl-
isked and Two Girls Hurt by Being
Bun Into By Pat CUIIins' Horse.


Bun Into By Pat CuIIins' Horse.
A bad accident occurred at the eros
sing Of Tenth and Main streets Satur-
day evening at eight o'clock BY the
running away Of Pat CuIlins' driving
horse, which struck brOadside the rub
berthe buggy Of Dale Sewers, injUr-
ing Miss Rae ThOrson and Miss Maude
Murphy, two Of the occupants, and
completely demOlishing the buggy.
Mr.. Sewers. accompanied by Miss
Thorson and Miss Murphy, was out
driving in the cool of the evening. Pat
CUIIins was also out with his spirited
roadster, being st the depot when the
7.55 train arrived. There John Kelly
got in the buggy with him and they
started up town. When they got as far
as Jupe's laundry the horse struck his
hind legs against the front axle Of the
buggy and began to run. Becoming
unmanageabIe by CuIlins, Kelly also
grabbed the lines and both Jerked and
sawed on the bit, but the horse kept
on running and made such fast time
coming up Main street that Sewers,
who was going south, did not see the
approaching runaway in time to turn
out Of the way, and CulIins' horse
plunged into the buggy brOadside with
great force. The shock crushed the
buggy and threw Miss Thorson and
Miss Murphy to the ground. Sewers
horse then plunged and reared and
breaking away from the buggy ran to
the rear Of the Walker Implement
building where he ran into an old
binder. CulIins' horse stopped after
striking the buggy, neither horse being
hurt.
The two injured young ladies were
taken to ThOrsOn's store nearby, both
being in a dazed condition. Miss Muir
ply sustained nothing more than a
painful bruise upon the hip, while Miss
ThOrsOn was quite badly hurt. She
was unable to move her right arm and
upon the same side near the collar
bone was a bad bruise, while under her
chin was an ugly cash. Miss Thorson
was taken home and DR.. Smith called.
She is improving and will soon be
about again.

Bringing settler. to the Wet.

The Rock Island railroad is proving
to be an important factor in the set
ting and bringing Of good citizens to
Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma. Al
ready this year the road has carried
thousands Of people into that part Of
the United States, many Of whom have
remained there and made homes for
themselves. All this has been accom-
plished by the Homeseeker excursions,
which are run on the first and third
Tuesdays Of every month.
To give some idea Of the immense
number Of people who take advantage
Of the low rate Of one fare plus - for
the round trip, which is made for these
excursions, it may be said that the
Rock Island carried over 500 people
into Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma
on the excursion which was run Tues
day, while the previous excursion car
ried over 700 people. The fact that the
great KiOWa, COmanche and Apache
Indian reservations, lying along the
Rock Island road and comprising some
Two million acres, VIII De opened Tor
settlement soon is influencing many to
come west and be ready for the grand
rush for free homes.
The people taking advantage Of these
excursions come from the east, notably
from Missouri, Illinois, Iowa and Min
nesOta. As a general class they are peO-
pie who, having saved some money,
take advantage Of the low rates to visit
new places and possibly find new
homes. These great waves Of emigra-
ton are unheralded and are so regular
in their movements that the general
public does not realize the number Of
people who are almost daily coming
from the east to the west TO find new
homes, and increase the population
Of western cities with a steady and
rapid growth.

Rev. Cyrus Townsend Brady, giving
his experience as "a Missionary in the

service We sign those who are baptized

plains, sand when the little girl re-
turned to school after the baptism the
children pressed her with hard ques-
tions, desiring to know what that man
with the 'nizhtgown' on had done, and
if she we're now any different from
what she had been before. She tried
to tell them that she had been before.
She tried to tell them that she had
been made "a member Of Christ, q child
Of God, and an inheritor Of the King
dom Of Heaven but did not succeed
in expressing the situation very we'll,
and they pressed her for a clearer ex-
PLANTATION. Finally, when she had ex-
hausted every other effort, she turned
on them, her eyes flashing through
her tears. 'WeH,' she said, lspsing
