Saturday night one of the
popular young ladies of this
city and a friend started for
the country in a car intending
to spend the night and Sunday
with the young mans parents,
but when they had gotten
about two miles out of town
the car baked and refused to
go further. The gallant young
man worked over the obstinate
beast for several hours but
without success, so the walk
home was begun but the city
was not reached until after one
O'Clock by the weary travellers.
An early start was made Sun
day morning and they reached
the parental home in time to
enjoy the bountiful meal pre-
pared for them.

Auto Accident

The first serious auto acct.
dent of the season near here
occurred this afternoon when j.
M. Dawson of Parker, S. D. ran
off the road into the ditch and
was quite badly cut up. He
had been at Red Oak and was
on his way home to So. Dakota.
The accident occurred between
the G. H Deur and Meats farms
where the road is as fine as a
country road could be. Accord
ing to the best information OBJ
tainable the car was running
about thirty miles an hour when
the driver lost control of it and
it ran into the ditch turning
over twice and landing on the
driver. Help was Immediately
summoned and the car taken
off or the results might have
been much worse. He was
brought to town where it was
found his nose was badly cut,
his face scratched and the left
side of his body bruised, but no
bones were broken. The car
was nearly demolished. Mr..
Dawson was alone in the car
and left for HIS home on the
evening train.

A Chance Of a Lifetime

The people of this vicinity
may have an opportunity Of
seeing the famous Liberty bell
this summer if the present
plans do not miscarry. The
bell is to be shipped from Phil.
adelphia to San Francisco,
leaving Philadelphia, July 9th,
and all of the Commercial clubs
along the Northwestern system
have been asked to write to the
commission asking that it be
shipped this way. If this
route is selected the bell will be
open for inspection at all the
principal points along the line.
1t is to be hoped this route will
be selected as school children,
and grown ups as well will have
an opportunity of seeing one Of
the AFFECTS of universal admir-
alton on the part Of every loyal
American citizen.

every injury being a perman-

This means that there were

accidents during the same year,
over one billion passengers be-

Accidents of this kind, many

Few weeks ago took q trip

raised wheat on the same land
for 8 or 10 years and are still
raising it producing 20 to Is blu.

sows wheat and bone fertiliz +
at the same time, and costs but
So per acre. My brother-in-law
has 200 acres and they say it
looks nice, all winter wheat.
They don't raise much oats or
corn. The corn has to be plant
ed about / to 2 kernels to a hill
and then has nubbins. Don't
have much alfalfa, and not
much stock. Most Of the farm
ers are renters. Good place
for q poor man if he can get
land TO rent, but most of it is
taken. They give one-third
in rent.
From there l went to Joplin,

It seems as though the ground
is all dug over-gyeat heaps of

ming loose. They have a new
way to tell when they are fat,
take them up by the ears and if
the head flops over not fat

the body outweighs the head.
They are looking for q good
