The Great Test at Lincoln, Neb.-Reader vs.

At o o'clock, Thursday morning, January

Here was the most popular play ever staged,
out of a book most widely read in the world,
put on by the ablest managers and best play
wright they could secure, every detail perfect
and costing $2S6,000 before the curtain was
raised on the first night, the most advertised
play, the most prodigious spectacle, and the
greatest success the stage had known. 1t was
in the same house, before the same audience
and on the very next night, that one man,
alone, with no strength of reputation to sus-

How This Amazing Success
Was Created

The success of the Overland is due solely
to masterpiece of mechanism. There was
never a car so simple. And none ever offered
nearly so much for the money.
Two years ago, when the Overland came
into Mr.. WHY'S possession, he sent out sam
pie cars to various localities. From every place
where a car was sent, back came calls for
more
One car sold others, and the others sold
others, until the demand became overwhem-
ing. One factory grew to four. The great
Pope Toledo plant was purchased and
doubled. Now-after only two years-a
daily output of 125 OverIands falls short of
meeting demands.
This is not due to advertsing-not due to
sensation. The Overland advertising has only
lately begun. 1t was solely due to the match
less cars themselves.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1910-03-03
MatchIess Simplicity

The greatest advantage which the Over
land has lies in its matCheSs simplicity Every
part is so simple, so automatic, that the car
is almost troubIe-proof.
Three of the Overland models operate by

Laclede union is on the move.
In answer to the call from the
state officers for each union to or
ganize at least one new union, ar
rangements were made at our last
meeting for Mrs. Abbott, our state
organizer, to address the people OF
Forker on statewide prohibition.
After an able address last Sunday
evening to a well-filled house, the
call for an organization was re-
sponded to by nineteen active and
nine honorary members. Mrs. e..
E. Foster was elected president,
with an able corps of officers and
superintendents of departments.
The Boomer union, as the name

FORKER SCHOOL HOUSE WRECKED
Two Booty BrookIieIders Assault Teacher and
Destroy Much School Property

Robert Packham and Albert
Huffman of Brookfeld are in jail
at Linneus charged with assault
and battery and destroying school
property. It seems that the men
had started to Locust Greek on a
fishing trip Wednesday and took
along a large quantity of Brook
field "bait." 1t was raining pretty
hard when they reached Forker
school house about 2 o'clock and
they decided to camp there. j. W.
Lind, who is to teach the school
again next winter, has been stay
ing at the school house, and when
the new arrivals announced their
intention of staying all night, he
objected. Mr.. Lind finally decided
that if they were going to stay, he
would leave. Then they objected
and tried to stop him. In the
struggle Mr.. Lind was badly beaten
and might have been killed had not
another man, the driver of the fish
ing party, interfered and stopped
them.
Mr.. Lind then made his escape
and, not knowing just what ought
to be done, went to the home of G.
A. Read, one of the directors Of the
school, who phone to Constable
Wood at Laclede. Mr.. Wood at
once secured a team and buggy and
started after them and Deputy
Sheriff Welsh went to Forker on
the afternoon train, but both
thought the trouble was at the
Frakes school west of Forker. When
Mr.. Wood arrived at Forker he
learned his mistake and went back
to the school house, accompanied
by j. E. Byrd.
They found the fellows cooking
their supper and the interior of the
school house looking like cyclone
had struck it. 1t seems that as
soon as Mr.. Lind left, the two
fishermen took a hatchet apiece and
began destroying everything break
able about the place. Feeling the
need of fresh air, they broke 80
window panes and two or three
sash. Not needing lamps, they
broke them all. A desk was in
their way and, they smashed it.
The globe, maps and library were
all destroyed or damaged and they
knocked holes in all the black
boards. The damage to the build
ing and fixtures amounts to $50 or
more. Mr.. Lind's personal effects
claimed their attention next. His
food supplies were dumped out in
pile on the floor. His clothing
was scattered everywhere and as
one of the fellows needed a clean
shirt, he traded his dirty one for it.
Constable Wood brought his
prisoners to town and swore out
warrant for them and took them on
to Linneus for safe keeping. Their
trial on the two counts mentioned
above will be held before Judge
Libby in Laclede Monday. AS
they were drunk and armed with a
gun, another state case may be
made against them.
Isn't it wonderful what a bless
ing the Brookfeld saloons are to
Linn county?
