Asbury Park is at last granting licenses for
the sale Of liquor. That doesn't mean that liquor
will now be sold there for the first time. but
merely that 1t will for the first time be sold
legally, and not on the sly or in moro or less
open defiance of the law. The new system will
probably not result in any increase Of sales Of

any considerable increase. But 1t may result in

HURLED INTO THE AIR.
Section Boss Was Injured at Scene Of
Bridge Accident.

In working at the bridge north of
Verdigre which collapsed Saturday
night and dropped four cars into the
creek, Jake Ebert, section boss, was
badly injured in sensational fall yes
terday morning. He was struck by a
rail that was bounding upward. The
force Of the blow hurled Ebert ten
feet into the air and dropped him
through space for twenty-five feet,
landing him in the creek bed fifteen
feet below the track. A four-inch
scalp wound on the back of the head
that cut down to the skull and bruise
across the chest were the injuries sus-
tanned. No bones were broken and
the man will recover.
A rail had been bent down toward
the creek when the bridge collapsed
and the cars went through. A car
standing upon the rail held down in
this bent position. When released the
rail sprang upward like a springboard,
In it's ascension the iron bar struck
Ebert forceful blow.

When the Nebraska legislature was
about to pass the 2-cent passenger fare

and decided to put In effect 1000

The engine and five cars had passed
over the bridge before the collapse
came taking down the four box cars

The scene of the accident Is a bridge
of some forty feet over what is ordi
narily dry creek but which Saturday
night had been filled by the water from
heavy rain. The freight train was
in charge of Conductor Evans and En-
gineer Dryden. The bridge will have
to be rebuilt.
Passengers from Gregory and Bone
steel were transferred past the acct
dent Sunday morning, arriving in Nor
folk at 9:45 a. m. A wrecker sent
from Norfolk had the track ready fol-
through traffic at the close of Sunday
afternoon. The contents Of the cars
were reported uninjured Coal and
farm implements are said to have beer

1t Is considered a most fortunate
fact that the extra freight train wen

next train over the creek would have
been the early morning passenger from
Bonesteel and the collapse of the
bridge under this train would have
meant very much more serious acct
dent in all probability.

BLOOD GETS SOUR.
Every Family Should Make Up This
Home Mixture and Take Now.

At this time of year, says a we'll
known authority, the Kidneys become
weak, clogged and inactive, failing to
filter out the poisons and acids. which
sour the blood, causing not only facial
and bodily eruptions, but the worst
forms of rheumatism, Nervous and
Stomach troubles, Backache and pain
full, annoying Urinary Affections.
1t is worth anyones time now to
get from some good prescription phar-
macy the following ingredients: Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce;
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Mix by shaking well in bot
tie and take in teaspoonful doses after
yosr meals and at bedtime.
This simple homemade mixture will
force the Kidneys to normal, healthy
action, so they will filter and strain all
uric acid and poisonous waste matter
from the blood, and expel this in the
urine, at the same time restoring the
full blood count"-that is, 95 per cent.
