Heavy Motor Truck
Cuts Deep Hole in
Newly Paved Street

A section OF the Broadway pavement
near the Fourteenth intersection gave
way yesterday afternoon when one OF
the big automobile trucks OF the CLAIR
Transfer company was passing, letting
the rear right wheel drop into the cavity
and inflictlng heavy damage upon the
machine.
The truck was being driven by A. s.
CHAR, and was carrying load Of 1900
pounds from Omaha for the wholesale
grocery house of Groneweg q schoent-
gen. The surface of the pavement was
as smooth as the day II was laid, four
years ago and there was not a thing
to Indicate the yawntng cavity that had
been created In some mysterious way
beneath the concrete foundation. CLAIR
says he was driving the car at speed
OF about six miles an hour. and the
first intimation he had of trouble was
when the car lurched and stopped. and
he thought a hind wheel had dropped.
when he got off and went TO the rear
he found the axle resting on the broken
edge Of the pavement.
Word was Immediately sent to the city
building. and Assistant City Engineer
Cook and City Solicitor Stuart went to
the scene.
The break Is at a point about a block
west of Indian creek on the south side
OF the street. II is directly above a
large water service connection that had
been made to supply an automobile
garage and shop there and which is now
used for blacksmith shop. No one 10
reported to have noticed any hollow
sound there. but the fact that the water
pipe there froze up several times during
the winter indicates that the earth had
disappeared some time ago. leaving
nothing but the concrete to support the
pavement, and this suddenly gave way
under the heavy strain OF the truck
load. The concrete broke with sharply
defined edges, and the hard paving
bricks were sheered off as II broken by
hammer.
When MIR. CLAIR notified the city OF
the accident he said his car had been
damaged to the extent OF 5000 The
driving gear was snapped off. the rear
springs torn apart and the chassis
twisted. with the certainty of a suit
for damages, the city and the wholesale
house had photographs made while
GLARS men were still engaged In UNI
loading the truck after II had been lifted
out OF the hole with jack screws. An
expert automobile man who examined
the damaged truck estimated the dam
age at about $50
The unexpected break in this pave
ment. which has only been laid about
four years. has caused good deal OF
uneasiness among city officials. and has
created the fear that there may be other
places equally dangerous. 1t has also
raised the unanswered question. where
does the vanished earth so TOT

Don't get the idea in your head that
you are so well seasoned TO frigid
temperature that no amount of cX-
posure will hurt you.
Don't think that frostbitten ears are
of small moment. A frozen ear is a
nuisance for long time and always re
mains sensitive.
Don let your feet become too much
chilled. Chilblaios are worse than the
seven-year itch.
Don't believe all you hear about the
benefit of cold air when the Their
mometer hovers around zero. There
are many persons to whom extreme
cold is anything but tonic.
Don persuade an anaemic Individual
who can hardly stand a bath in tepid
water that what he needs in the morn
ing is an ice cold tub. You may have
to attend his funeral
Don't neglect ordinary precautions
about wrapping up on the theory that
the thing to do is to harden" ones
self quickly. Doctors have had all they
could do to pull some persons through
who thought they had Just reached the
stage where nothing was too cold for
them.
Don't forget to shut the door.

It HAS SETTLED DOWN
FOR REAL WORK
General Assembly ReconVened at An
napoIis Monday Night.

When the Legislature met Monday
night the Garrett county representa-
tives were all in their places.
The ladies who are marshalling the
Woman's Suffrage forces had invited
the members of the General Assembly
to meet with them Monday, but, aside
from several newspaper men, no males
attended the proposed conference. This
was not construed as a negative senti-
ment for the proposition of woman suf-
frage, but the non-attendance was due
almost entirely to the fact that few of
the members had as yet returned from
spending the recess at their homes, it
being late in the evening before most of
the Legislators put in an appearance at
the State House.
BY vote of 70 to 6 the Democratic
members of the Legislature in caucus
nominated General Murray Vandiver
for State Treasurer. Immediately after
the vote was announced the selection of
General Vandiver was made unanimous
The caucus was an interesting one,
and, despite the fact that the friends of
General Vandiver were in such full con-
troll, Senator Lee and his handful of
followers made a gallant fight. They
supported Mr.. Robert Il. Hilton, OF
Montgomery county. The smallness
of the Hilton vote was a great surprise.
While it had been generally believed in
political circles for some weeks that
General Vandiver would be reelected
treasurer, it was thought that, as a re-
suit of the opposition of Senator Lee, a
good sized vote would be polled against
him in the caucus. Ii was at least
thought that the men who stood by Sen
alter Lee in his fight to organize the
Senate and house would follow him in
his fight against General Vandiver. but
they did not. Probably their desertion
was due to the fact that they realized
that General Vandiver had more than
enough votes to insure his nomination
and that personally they did not care to
oppose him.

ADVERTISING AS A GUARANTEE.

Advertising is a guarantee of good
faith. 1t is evidence of efficiency and
success.
The advertising of local stores in such
a town as ours is one of the cleanest
phases of modern business. Retail
trade attracts substantial class of men
who prefer to tell the truth for its own
sake, and would not cheat their neigh
bors if they could.
OF course motives of self interest also
warm them to take pains to make adj
vertising produce disgrunted customers
who can make a lot of trouble for
store which depends for success on its
own tOwnspeoples.
1t men of less responsible character
sometimes go into retail trade, they are
too shrewd to make mis-statemonts in
the cold publicity of advertising type.
Our experience is that complaints Of
Misrepresentation are almost never
heard.
The public thus learns from expert
ence that local store advertising is
trustworthy. AS it deals with such sub
lects of surprising interest as cost Ct
living and the fashions of the day, every
line Of it is read with most discriminate
ing attention.
People ike to read and think about
Stopping before visiting a store. A
great many purchases are practically
made from the newspaper before the
buyer leaves home.
furthermore, liberal advertising tells
the public that merchant IS making
good. Lack of it is Interpreted as lack
Of confidence in ones business.
