Accident Oh the Bridge.

Eugene McCabe of near Seward,
had quite an accident on the river
bridge this morning as he was CON-
Ing to town. He had a load with
four mules hitched abreast, and when
about half way over some man COM
ing from the opposite direction start
ed onto the bridge. The latter had
two calves in his wagon, and as he
approached McCabe's mules, the lat
ter got a little uneasy, and tae one
on the outside was crowded to the
edge and had one foot slip through
between the railing and one of the
planks. With the assistance of Jim
Pritchard, an axe and a saw, 10 the
course of half hour or more the
mules foot was released. For a
time it was thought the leg had been
broken, butt developed to be only a
sprain, but one. that will put lMr.
Mule out of commission for a month
or two. There has been some talk
by the commissioners of widening
this bridge. and We believe it should
be done. And also when a man
sees another man already on the
bridge coming towards him, especial
ly with four animals abreast, it would
be better to wait until they got across.

One of them was brought into town and measured seven feet and two inches from tip to tip of it's wings. The bird was of the golden head variety and was beauty.

When Benjamin Franklin was
called the "many-s:ded Franklin"
lie was accorded title which dis
,inguished him f.om all other
Americans of his own or subse-
quent times, s.ys the Portland
Oregonian. No other man has
arisen with powers and activities
so varied as to challenge the right
of Franklin to the distinction thus
exclusively conferred upon him.
1t is not unlikely, however, that ii
President Roosevelt should live to
the age attained by Franklin, 81,
he will win acknowledgement for
as wide range of useiulnes SIS as
possessed by Franklin. Roosevelt
is not man made famous by one
idea; his work is confined to no
narrow lines. With the possible
exception of Roosevelt, 10 Ameri.
can has so deeply impresst the
people of all classes as did Frank
lin. The "father Of American
diplomacy" not only rendered in
valuable service to his country,
but his teachings exelted a markt
influence upon the lives of the peo-
pie even to the smallest details oil
home affairs. He was leader not
only in affairs of state, but also 10
the formation of rules of conduct
by which men govern their phi
vate lives. He was not only
thinker and a teacher but a practi-
cal worker.
Rooseveltis all these Franklin
retired from active work at the age
of 81. The estimate of a mans
life work can not be made until
that work is ended, but if Roose-
welt should retain his vigor to a
similar age, thirty-three years yet,
there can be little doubt that his
work will for surpass that of Frank
lin, not only i'll Importance, but in
its varied character. TO become
great in one field of effort, be it
literature, craftsmanship, phi,oso-
ply, invention or war, is the
achieve of few men. TO he
pre-emineutly useful in many
feds is rare indeed.

THE GREAT "WAR COMET"
Ito Fiery, Spreading Tail Was Fifty
Million Miles Long.

it, Fiery, Spreading Tail Was Fifty
Million Miles Long.
The Wonderful "war comet" Of 1861
rLrang 40 suddenly into view and
blazed with such unexampIed bril-
liancy as to astonish the astronomers
and frighten those unlearned in come
tary lore half out Of their wits. The
unlearned declared that the civil war,
which was just getting we'll under
Roadway, must have something to do
with it. However this may be, it
burst forth, unheralded and unlimited,
shining with greater brilliancy and
magnitude than any phenomena of
similar nature which that generation
had ever seen.
On the night Of July Of that year
1t exhibited a most wonderful spec
tacle. In the evening the nucleus did
not appear to be larger than star in
the first or second magnitude. AS the
ell, however, the nucleus visibly i'll
creased in both magnitude and bril-
fancy. The tail waved back aud forth
over our little world in a most threat
ening manner, at times sending rays
almost to the zenith. On the morning
Of July the astronomers announced
through the daily papers that the head
Of the great comet was only separated
from the earth by a distance OF H.
100000 miles. According to the report
sent out from the Cambridge Observa-
tory. the comet appears to have pass
ed Its ascending node between the 9th
and the 10Th Of June in longitude 219
degrees, the longitude of the earth be-
ing 271 degrees at the same time.
On Oct 10 its tail extended over
! space Of 100000 miles and at sew
eral points was not less than 10000
600 miles in width.
At first it was generally conceded
| that 1t was the famous comet Of 1856.
| the one which caused the Emperor
Charles v. of France to resign his I'M
perial throne, he taking 1t to be a
warning from God. All surmises were
subsequently set at rest by the discov-
cry that it was the famous Thatcher
comet. discovered by Professor A. F.
Thatcher at the Rutherford observa-
tory In New York city.

THEY CAN'T SEE TILE JOKE.

Mr.. Mark A. Carleton, cerealist of the
United States department ofagriculture,
is a Kansas product and one of which
the Sunf1ower state may well be proud.
He has accomplished much in his chosen
field and Kansas should feel gratified
because of it.
But Mr.. Carleton and some of his as
sociates, including his chief. Secretary
Wilson, appear to take themselves too
seriously. This, however, is a failing
which most people engaged in great
work have, and it can be readily over
looked if they don't insist on emphasize
ing 1T too much.
Mr. Carleton and his co-workers in the
department of agriculture are doing
tremendous things for American agrl-
culture. They tell Secretary Wilson
about these things and he tells them to
the public as the achievements of the
department of agriculture. Far be it
from us to minimize that work.
But naturally Secretary Wilson over
looks some of the details. He thinks
such great thoughts that it is not sur
prising thai some minor facts escape
him until his attention is called to them.
In his boyhood days he learned at school
that the region west of the Missouri
River was the Great American Desert,
and none of his assistants appear to
have told him otherwise. That doubt
less accounts for his reference to Kan
sas and Nebraska as seni-arid region
proposition. The letter he wrote to
where agriculture was not dependable
Secretary Coburn a few weeks ago, ad-
vising Kansas to raise Turkey wheat,
also discloses in it's own lines slight
lack of knowledge that the Kansas
wheat crop has been for years almost
entirely of the Turkey variety.
Instead of becoming huffy at Secre-
tary Coburn for calling attention to
these little slips, Mr.. Wilson really
ought to have been grateful for the in
formation 1t was Mr.. Coburn's duty
to correct the statements of Secretary
Wilson. His job as the advertising
agent of Kansas demanded it. Kansas
was inclined to regard Mr.. Wilson's lit
tie slips as good jokes, the same as
when a great scholar misspells an easy
word but Mr. Wilson didn't see the joke
and got huffy about it. And now MI
Carleton uses two columns of gooc
newspaper space to defend his chief.
All of which goes back to the pro-
position that these estimable gentlemen
take themselves too seriously and re-
frain from laughter when the joke is or
them. But, then, all of US are more Oh
less inclined to do that.
