PRESIDENT CHEERED AT OMAHA Political Men Say Reception Was Greatest of Career. Omaha, Nebraska, October 5. President Wilson came into the Middle West today for the first time since the campaign began and received what his political lieutenants characterized, the greatest reception of his career. He declared for the ‘ unshackling” of American business in order that it- may meet the competition of the world after the European war and cited legislation of his administration as going far in this direction. * Tlie President was cheered by thousands during the day. The size of the crowds and the enthusiasm shown far exceeded anything he has experienced since his inauguration. Attracted here for the celebration of Nebraska’s fiftieth anniversary thousands of people from nearby cities and states packed Omaha’s streets and shouted frantically every time Mr. Wilson appeared. It was an impressive demonstration which greatly pleased the President and his political advisers.

Omaha was in gala attire for the celebration, nonpartisan in character, and arranged by a committee made up largely of Republicans, but was given a political touch by the presence of the President. All the buildings were draped with American flags, windows were packed with people during the parade, and bands constantly played popular and martial music.

BUSHES BRIDGE INTO STREAM Ilrook Car >l«“ets with Peculiar Accident Near Remington. The car in which a daughter and son of John O. Deardurff and a couple of their friends were riding met with a peculiar accident on Sunday evening. They slowed down to allow another car to pass on the bridge this side of Remington. Miss Deardurff was driving and pulled to one side of the road. She miscalculated the force of the car and it struck the railing of the bridge, and pushed the frame eastward letting the sleepers drop and allowing the car to hang over the edge of the embankment. Numerous cars gathered at once and while nothing could be done to right the car it was decided to let it remain until morning. Planks were then laid lengthwise along the south side of the bridge and the Fords passed over first, these were • followed by the heavy cars until all were over safely.

The young lady driving the car was not thrown out, but her brother in the rear seat who had raised up to see what assistance he could give his sister, went out and landed in the ditch and was followed by the young lady and the young man in the front seat. Fortunately at the low rate of speed they were going no one was hurt.

The car had a bent front axle and the radiator slightly damaged.— Brook Reporter. j
