A FORMER DECORAHIAN.
Injured at WorthingtOn, Mimi, by
Twenty-Five Foot Fall From
Telephone Pole.

Geo. B. Fox, a former DEBORAH
telephone man, and who married a
DEBORAH girl Miss Opdahl, was SER
iously injured at Worthington,
Mimi, by fall of twenty-five feet
from a telephone pole. The Worth
ington Globe tells about the acct
dent in the following:
&c. B. Fox, General manager of
the Worthington telephone system,
received serious and what were at
first thought to be fatal injuries
when he fell twenty-five feet from
the cross beams of telephone pole
across the Omaha tracks near the
Frank Saxon residence, last Friday
loon. Mr.. Fox was sitting upon
the heavy wire which holds up the
cable when he received a shock
from an electric wire carrying $500
volts of electricity. The electric and
telephone wires are not strung on
the same poles but there are places
about the city where they cross but
are not supposed to come in con-
tact. TIL only way in which the
shock can be explained is that the
insulation must be worn off on some
of the light wires and the wind have
blown them in contact with the
telephone wires for an instant,
which was long enough to give Mr..
Fox the terrible shock which he re-
ceived. A short time after the &C
cident happened the wire upon
which Mr.. Fox sat was examined
for electricity but none was found
there.
Mr.. Fox realized what was hap
pening and had presence of mind
enough to throw himself bodily to
the ground or he would have been
instantly killed. At first he was
totally blind and had hemmorhages
of the lungs, owing to the shock,
besides suffering greatly from burns
upon one limb. He has now fully re-
covered his sight and the hemmor-
hayes have ceased but he is in con-
siderable pain. 1t will be some time
before he will be able to get around
again but his recovery is looked for.
The doctors now consider him out
of danger"

RURAL MAIL BY AUTOS.
Postmaster General Will Ask Con.
gresS to Authorize Radical
Innovation.

A reorganization Of the rural
route system in Illinois is contemp-
lated by Postmaster General Burle-
son.
1t will be more effective within the
next twelve months if Congress
enacts a bill recommended by the
Postmaster General. This bill pro-
vides for the use of automobiles on
rural routes in all states that have
roads adapted to the use of such ve-
hicles. 1t provides for a radical
change in the rural free delivery sys-
tenn.
Under present conditions the
length of the standard route is
twenty.four miles and the maximum
compensation paid carriers is $1,000
o year. The Postmaster General pro-
poses to increase the length Of the
route where conditions are favorable
to fifty miles, and on such routes
carriers will be paid salary OF
$500 a year.
The Postmaster General is of the
opinion that in some instances it may
be found desirable to have routes
fifty miles in length on a straight
line. On such routes he would have
the carriers deliver and collect on
the outward trip, remaining ovep
night at the terminus of the route,
and deliver and collect on the re-
turn journey the following day.
In planning the introduction Of
automobiles the Postmaster General
is striving to effect economies. There
are at present about $4,000 routes
in operation throughout the United
States. It costs approximately $46,-
600, 900 a year to maintain them.
The use of automobiles would
render unnecessary the employment
of one carrier on practically every
route. Just how many carriers would
be laid off under the new system has
not yet been figured out.
There are now 1853 rural routes
in operation in Illinois. The automo-
bile system will undoubtedly be IN
troduced in that state very early II
the Burleson bin becomes a law.
The same thing is true or iowa,
Wisconsin and other states In the
middle and north West.

RCRAL CARRIERS DISSATISFIED
TIE New Maximum Pay Bill Brings
Dissatisfaction to Ioua
Carriers.

washington, d. c., Aug. TO-
Iowa rural carriers are objecdng to
the regulations regarding the new
maximum pay bill for their work,
which have just been promWtgated
by the postmaster general. The un-
derstansying many if tile Iowa aarrl-
ers had was that the new les1sia-
ton would raise the pay OF every
rural carrier whose route was tWen-
ty,four lilies or more to ST. zoo a
year. The new regulations, how
ever. onlv give a certain numfsr or
Dieces of mail or" certain wsight,
GRADED as to the length of route,
and it has been found that some
long routes, with light. haul. pay
less than short routes with heavy
uauIs. Postmaster Ganeral Burle-
son, explaining the new regul atoms
declares that his purpose is TO re-
ward the employees who do the
most work. and he says his plan pro-
yides means. for carridrs to earn adj
ditional pay by buillfng rn the5r
routes.

John Nj. feeling, Former Decor.
ahian Conducting Fine Hotel.

The Horse Review of recent date
has the following to say of John NJ
feeling, who worked in DEBORAH for
Carl Bates for a number of years
and also in local hotels:
John M. feeling, in charge OF
the Hotel Clarke, at Hastings, the
last word in the hotel line in Ne
braska, was born and raised near
Lansing, Iowa, and was with Carl
Bates, of DEBORAH, several years,
having the care of Thalberg for
four seasons. Rupert Parker learn
ed how to care for a horse in the
same stable and at the same time,
and later feeling sold Parker that
successful race mare, Baby Kid,
when she was a yearling. During
the winter seasons Mr.. feeling
worked around the hotel at Decor
ah, kept by the owner of Stiles Alb
dallah, adding to his cash account
by selling Christmas numbers or
the Review to the travelling public
and securing an occasional subscrib-
er to the journal. His rise in the
world from a caretaker to the posi-
ton of proprietor and manager of
the newest and finest hotel in the
state of Nebraska, is evidence that
any ambitious boy has an opportu-
nifty of growing into a useful citi-
zen and man of affairs. He first
started in the hotel business at Mer-
rill, Wis, where he remained ten
years, going from there to Water
town., S. d., and coming to Hastings
early this year"

KILLED Four Foot Rather.

Postoffice Clerk Oscar Yaeger was
out for a drive Sunday afternoon,
On the North Cresco road. While
driving along enjoying the sights of
the waving fields of corn and grain
he observed a huge snake stretched
across the roadway summing itself.
When he reached it he saw 1t was
a rattlesnake, and of course pro-
ceeded to kill it, which he did with
a buggy whip. 1t was a four foot,
four inch RATHER and had eight rat
ties, which he secured, and also the
skin and will have it tanned and
made into a belt.

the trip in their automobile and

pert fisherman and much of the time

Novel Rat EXterminatOr.

An Iowa farmer has devised a
rat trap upon which he claims no
Patent, but which anyone troubled
with rats can use, says an exchange.
He purchased big galvanized bas-
ket and placed it in the barn. He
filled it two-thirds full OF water
and on top of the water layer of
chaffy oats an inch deep. The next
morning he emptied out a mixture
of water, oats and dead rats. He
rebaited his trap and the third NOR
ming he figured results and found
that he had painlessly but with
malice afprethought, gotten SO
rats. He claims that it will rid a
barn In short time.

TO HOLD SMALL ACCESSORIES
Excellent Idea for the Division of b.

these articles, but as such boxes soon
soil or become overcrowded it has re-
manned for somebody to invent a de-

less and lidless. which may be covered
with cretonne and laid In the drawer.

MODES IN MILLINERY
JUST NOW THE STYLES ARE
SOMEWHAT CONTRADICTORY.
Both Large and Small Hats Seem to
Be Strictly Observation-Disclosures
Raised by the Use of
Monkey Fur.

Millinery vogues are entering upon
their solstice period.
First we see wide-brimmed hats
with low crowns faringly trimmed
with Understanding fantasies or with
their brims entertaining grouped trim
mings of flowers of patent or oil-cloth
manufacture.
Again, there comes into view a
series OF small hats more tiny than
any seen this season.
Fashion DEGREES in one breath big
hats for incoming vogues and contra
diets herself in the next breath by
showing the daintiest, most convinc-
ingly chic hats of the most diminutive
types seen for months. And so 1t goes.
AT the Grand Prix de Chantilly, the
majority OF shapes worn with frocks
of an elegant severity and OF perfect
style values were small to a vanishing
point, nearly Almost all Of these hats
were made of white satin, white vel
vet, white, shiny oil-cloth, such as Is
used for kitchen table coverings in
most American households, and with
or without very narrow hemp brims.
A tall interrogative looking feather
of single-blessed loneliness and Of
black, black and white. or all white.
would be the only decoration for the
most extreme-styled types.
Other trimmings used were Of self
materials or of fruits and foliage of
weirdly appearing guise.
Lace and even fur trimmings were
also in evidence. but the most peculiar,
uncanny effect noticed, and withal
quite the newest in consequence, was
the hat of bowlershaped hemp COW
cred with white satin and with the
crown encircled with an outstanding
piece of black monkey fur
Is monkey fur to be society's sop to
the Audubon society for use instead
OF osprey and other aigrettes which
are tabooed, so to speak?
The broadly. oddly curved sailor
was chosen by several well-known
mondaines, who depended upon black
paradise plumes for the trimmings al
most to unit
Black velvet-topped hats were also
seen and are evidently a factor to be
reckoned with. Later on black satin
hats, in derivation Of the well-known
tricorne shapes, will appear. But of
these, more will be said later on
