NARROWLY ESCAPES DEATH

Harold Nevills, the eldest son Of
Miner Nevills of this city, narrowly
escaped death Friday afternoon while
attempting TO cross the path ahead of
moving auto. The boy, full of eX-
citement and enthusiasm after the
football game on Davis Field, mounted
his wheel and attempted TO hasten out
of the gate in front of VIM. Bahlke's
automobile, but in his haste the front
wheel of his bicycle struck a scantling
on the curve of the race track and,
turning the wheel so suddenly, threw
the boy directly in front of the ma
chine The auto ran over the bicycle
and caught the boys mackinaw, pre-
venting him from rolling out of the
way, and before it could be stopped,
pinned him under the front wheel.
The occupants of the car proceeded to
lift it so the boy was removed. All
assisted except Mr.. Bahlke, who was
so overcome by the shock that he was
unable to help. The boy was taken to
Brainerd's Hospital and examination
was held.
No serious injury was found owing
to the fact that the machine had
struck the boy below the lower ribs
and had not run far enough to do fur
ther injury than slight bruises.
The machine was moving at rate
of about five miles per hour, and due
to Mr.. Bahlke's self composure and
calm self control, it was stopped in
space of about three feet.
The boy was removed from the hos
pital TO his home the following day
and recovery was rapid.

WILL CHANGE NAME

Postmaster Jones has been addressed
by the postofiice department, that the
application made by the w. f. Moses
Townsite Company, to have the name
of Rock Island postofiice changed to
Glenrio, New Mexico, has been accept
ed and become effective upon the issu-
ance of Mr.. Jones commission under
his reappointment, made August 81
last.
This should prove of much interest
to the patrons Of the postofiice, as it
will eliminate further confusion
throuh the railroad station being one
name and the postofiice another. AL
though mail in the past being directed
to Glenrio, Texas, or Glenrio, New
Mexico, is, in most cases thrown to
Rock Island, yet the change in name
effect much better service.
II is thought this new arrangement
will be In effect within week or ten
days.-Tribune- Progress.

WE ARE PROGRESSING

At one time in Rome, political offices
were auctioned off in public to the
highest bidder In ancient Greece
theft was not considered so much of
a disgrace as being caught at il. Our
prisons are not ideal, but we have
made progress in dealing with crime.
There were formerly fourteen offenses
in Delaware punishable by hanging
In the early history of Connecticut
lying was punishable by five stripes
AT the whipping post and confinement
in stock; no man was allowed TO us,
tobacco within ten miles of others
people were imprisoned in awful dun
geons for debt. In Rome men were
sold into slavery to pay debts; cred-
itors could tear the body of debto,
to pieces, each receiving a piece ac
cording to his credit. The demagogue
rails against present conditions, n,
would have US believe the bottom has
dropped out of humanity, he juggles
with the truth TO stir up discomfort.
Today is the best day creation has
ever seen. For two thousand years
the sermon on the mount, like leaven,
has been permeating the hearts OF
men. At least only that which is good
can endure. The fires of time burn
out the dross. There is one "far Off
divine event toward which all creation
moves" 1t is perfection--but il is not
here.--The Iowa Press.
