Pender, Neb, Aug. 19.—(Special.) —With Mrs. Weborg, aged 84, as the central figure, ap leasant family re- union of four generations was held at the home of C. J. Weborg recently. This was the first time the aged woman had gathered her four gen- erations about her at one time. Mrs. Weborg came to America in 1875, settled in lllinois, and later moved to Pender. She came to Pender as a widow, having lost her husband in Illinois. Recently she moved to Wakefield, but came to Pender for the reunion at the home of her son. One son, C. J. Weborg of Pender, has taken an active part in repub- lican politics for twenty-five years. Erie Weborg is traveling passenger agent at Springfield, 11l. Albert, now deceased, was a atttorney at Peoria, I1L.; E. P. Weborg is a train inspector at Fort Worth, Tex., and the daugh- ter, Carric Fredrickson lives at Wake- field. traveling at less than fifteen miles per hour and had kept his eyes on the road ahead all the time and had passed the car before it came to a standstill the preponderance of evi- dence from disintrested sources was so great that it was a foregone con- clusion that the jury would find him guilty of carelessness, and the only hope for Mr. Stockdale was that they might find that Mrs. Cunningham was in a measure to blame. Testimony of Motorm: Vatlay ]. Barton, 2534 South Ninth street, the motorman of the car, said Mrs. Cunningham left the curb at Twenty-sixth and Farnam at the usual place for boarding a car and was rolled and dragged for a distance of a car length by the automobile, which dropped her body a little in advance of the front of the car and then ran on for a distance of ten feet more. He said he did not see the auto until after he had brought his car to a complete stop. The conductor, J. C. Henderson, 1949 South Thirteenth street, said he heard the woman's scream just as the car stopped, when the automobile was running beside the car at a rate lwhich he judged to be twenty to! twenty-five riles per hour. He bore lout the morning testimony as to the| position of Mrs. Cunningham’s body after the accident. Mr. Stockdale said the woman 'walked toward the approaching car and to within about three feet of the tracks and waited. He sounded his horn and felt that she was safely in the clear and guided his car to the| right to get between her and the| curb. Stockdale testified that when he was within fifteen feet of her she suddenly ran backward, and her el- bow struck his left front headlight, after which the rear left feuder struck her and dragged her along for a few feet. He said that he had been. following the street car from| Twenty-fourth street, and had shut| off the power as he reached the top lof the hill and was simply gliding| along easily on the momentum of the | lcar. When the emergency came it lwas too late to even set the hand bruke. | Orval Pierson, 2469 Harney street, a boy 14 years old, says that “the | automobile came up the hill fast and | the driver was looking back over his shoulder to the passengers in the Edgar Chautauqua Opens. Edgar, Neb, Aug. 19.—(Special.)— The chautauqua at Fdgar opened yes- terday afternoon. The tent was fairly well filled and the audience was an appreciative one. The initial numbers of the program were furnished by the Priestly orchestra, an organization of local talent, which greatly surprised people who had not heard them. In the evening Dr. Clinton N. Howard delivered his lecture on “Why God Made a Woman." This was excellent. Keeping Yourself Well THE DAY OF WEAKNESS After you have had a trying ex- perience, or worn yourself out with an unusually hard day’s work, your body is_not in shape to resist disease. Its vitality is lowered, and the forces that re- sist infection are lacking in power. Certain infections are always present. One of the worst of these is that of influenza. 'Iilyour strength is lowered, it is likely to effect a lodfment. and no man can ever foretell what this will lead to, For such perlods of weakness you need a good tonic, Your heart should be strengthened, your cir- culation made more vigorous, your digestion toned ug; ‘The tonic that many thousands have found m satisfactory is Peruma.

MORE RAIL HEADS ARE INVITED IN FOR CONFERENCE Page One.) (Continued From plan the employes made no reserva- ton. 0 5 One of the railroad presidents said the conference that he did not after consider the situation hupeless,‘ but that it was very serious. President Wilson, he said, had asked for a “show down’ and that the ratlroad of- ficials would give a final answer as soon as possible 2 5 Ihe beliet was current in adminis- tration circles that the raiiroads would make some concessions, Atter the conterence President Wil- son telegraphed to a number of presi- dents ot western radroads invitmg them to come to \Washigton. Speaks for Hundred Million Washington, Aug. 19.~—President Wilson declared he was the spokes- man for 100,000,000 y cople, every one ot whom had a deep wmterest in the present situation. His only object, he sard, was to avoid a strike, with its consequent disaster to the nation. As the president spoke to the offi- cials he paced up and down before them in the blue room. Several times he emphasized points with a clenched tist. He spoke solemnly and oiten paused and faced them as he asked that they accept his plan. The railroad ofiicials were equally solemn, and Mr. Holden told the pres- ident they realized the seriousness of the situation. “We must face the naked truth in this crists,” said the president. “We must not discuss impractical things. We must get down to a basis on which { this situation can be solved.” Persistent Advertising Is the Road | TR Y IO Persistent Advertising Is the Road to Success.
