POOR SERVICE
Government Contemplating Discon-
!. tihuance OF Our First Class Ser
vice Much To Our Discomfort.

Conductor Jack Lemon informed us
that our mail clerk aud mail car ia to
be taken off the road and transferred
to q Kansas run. The change will
increase the labors at the postoffices
along the branch which in turn will
make our deliveries much later "a the
offices must do what the mail clerk
now does.
Tis the mail clerk that prepares all
the matter coming into his hands for
each delivery whether the mail mat
ter ia for home distribution or for for
eign shores, tits he who routes it aud
gets it into the proper channel. The
discontinuance will be an inconven-
fence to all, whose time is 80 valuable,
and too it is not giving the smaller
communities fair deal. It's not
jealousy to say the farmer has his
daily mail delivered at the door even
though he is 10 or IL miles from the
post Office, but the business man whe.
ther he is block away from the post
Office or living in the outskirts of
town half mile away, he, in the
small towns, must go or send for his
mail himself.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT
Near Brayton, Lawrence Nelson u
Years Old, Jumps On Broken
Handled Pitchfork

Friday afternoon about 3 O'clock
while employed with threshing crew
on the Nelson Bros. farm about three
miles southeast of Brayton, Lawrence
Nelson was seriously injured when he
jumped from the top of u water tank
whittier he had climbed for the purpose
Of drinking some water out Of a jug
and lighted u pom the end Of broken
pitchfork 1kndle which was standing
erect with the tines struck into the
ground, not far from the tank. The
broken handle stuck MIR. Nelson in
the crotch, penetrating for a length of
about ten inches and horribly lacera-
ting thetintestines. Mr.. Nelson seized
the fork, withdrew it from the wound
and his fellow workers phoned for DR..
Koob at Brayton. DR.. Koob soon ar
rived in his auto ana after an examina-
ton decided to bring Mr.. Nelson to the
hospital here. Before doing so how.
ever he phoned to DR.. Davis of Oma-
ha, who came on the evening train,
and he assisted by Drs. Koob and
Burke performed an operation upon
the young man.
Reports today say that Mr.. Nelson
stood the operation well and spent a
good night. He is resting quite well
today but it will be necessary to wait
for further developments before it can
