FREMONT, Neb.. Feb. 16.-(Special.)-At
a special meeting of the city council last
evening an ordinance was introduced Civ
ing a franchise to the Nebraska Transpor-
tation company to construct an interurban
road through the city for the purpose of
carrying passengers, mail, express and
light freight. The ordinance requires the
company to pave between its tracks and
two feet outside the rails on all paved
streets. After ten years the company is to
pay the city a tax of 1 cent for each pas
nj transported to or from the limits
of the city, The paving and taxation sec
lions were objected TO by the representa-
tives of the company, especially the tax
which they regarded as excessive. The
entire matter was referred to a commit
tee for further consideration and an ordi-
nance will probably be decided upon which
will be satisfactory to all parties.

Metcalfe Makes
Hit with Speech
At Party Feast
Democratic Associate Editor Believed
to Be in Frame of Mind to
Run for Senate.
CErom a staff Correspondent.)

LINCOLN, Feb. 16.-(Special)-While the
democratic dollar banquet is a thing of the
past, it is still being talked about. One
feature wRs the hit made by Richard l..
Metcalfe in his speech. According to
numerous democrats, Metcalfe made a noise
like a democratic senatorial nominee. He
was a surprise to his most intimate friends.
For many years he had been looked upon
merely as a political writer whose chief
duty has been to boost other democrats
for office. on the night of the banquet he
demonstrated that when warmed up he is
an eloquent speaker, and while he said
nothing on the county option move, he
spoke his sentiments in no uncertain Ian
guage. His eulogy of Mayor Dahlman in
dicated that II Governor Shallenberger and
w. II. Thompson persist in framing up a
combination the Omaha mayor and the
associate editor Of the Commoner may get
together for mutual benefit even though
on a different platform. ~
That Metcalfe will receive many requests
and demands to get into the senatorial
fight there is not the least doubt and there
is also no doubt that he could be induced
to make the race.
Johnnie Reagan of Omaha left Lincoln
in a very belligerant mood. Reagan and
Louis Patti called at the state house
on the cold, gray dawn of the morning
after and they were still very much put
out over the Bryan statement. Just at
the entrance to the office of the governor
they noticed a picture of President Taft
on the glass door to an old elevator shaft.
For heavens sake; Bryan for county
option and Shallenberger for Taft! What
do you think of that?' gasped4 he aston
ished Reagan.
Then he noticed painted on the wall a
pointing to 1he executive door and
one to the picture.
"And he's even got a hand there to
point out the picture" continued the
Omaha man. "That beats the devil" And
then to several parties who were attracted
by the outburst, Reagan delivered a lee
ture on democracy, pure and .undefiled.

HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS ARE
INJURED IN AUTO WRECK
Car Driven by Son of Representative
Sink Hits Hack at Grand

GRAND ISLAND, Neb., Feb. 16.-(Spe-
cial.)-An evening of auto riding, in which,
according to the statement of eye-wit-
nesses, there was considerable scorching,
some OF 1t in the more crowded portions
of the city, ended sadly for a party of six
High school pupils, Miss Lorraine Turner,
the only daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Turner, being frightfully cut about the
face, and Hubert Modesto suffering a
scalp wound, not serious.
Three High school boys and three girls, the
Misses Turner, bearing and Dempsey and
Masters Sink, Hubert Modesto and Fred

When they returned they drove a bit about
town, and when just about to turn a corner
the car, driven by Sink, a son of Repre-
sentative John Sink. skidded into a hack
approaching at a trot from the opposite
direction. The hack driver. George Jacobs,
was behind another hack and kept even
pace with the vehicle ahead of him, both
conveying passengers from the northwest
bound Burlington train to the west bound
Union Pacific, which make close coDnec-
tions. When the car skidded into the hack
the tongue of the hack, or some portion
of a horses bride, must have caught the
girl in the face and frightfully lacerated
it. She was Immediately carried to a ply
sician's office nearby and the best atten-
ton possible given the wounds, to avoid,
If possible, permanent designation.
On the same evening another auto driver
lost control of his car and demolished sew
eral signs on the sidewalks, but prevented
the car from making unceremonious en-
trance into some of the show windows.
