The county clerk's office has had
three more applications filed for
places on the primary ballots. Frank
Schlater Is the first Democrat to
file and he will run once again for
County Treasurer and be re-elected
by an Increased margin. Allen J.
Beeson present County Judge thinks
there is lucre eno In the position
to warrant him striving once more
for It and he has filed for the re
publican nomination. I,. II. Daft of
Greenwood thinks that E. E. Hilton
has no rights in the register of
deeds fight and he wants to run on
the republican ticket, therefore he
also adds his name to the list And
thus runs on the stream. The friends
of George Luschinsky and John
Busche have not yet filed their pe
titions for office but it is rumored
they will be duly filed for repub
lican nominations. Another strong
movement which has started In the
city Is that for the nomination of
D. H. Smith for county commis
sioner by the Republicans. It is not
known whether Mr. tmlth" counten
ances the movement or not but he
will make a strong candidate should
he be nominated. The Democrats
seem to be at sea as to their ticket
although a wide-eyed, asinine rumor
was started by a discredited and
dlsgrunted politician to the effect
that a ring was selecting candidates
for that party. As a matter of fact
one man mentioned ns a member of
the ring has never been consulted
on candidates nor does he volunteer
his advice and the others can speak
for themselves but It is sure they
never conferred together upon a
ticket and each one favors different
candidates for the different offices.
As an inventor of myths and whirl
winds, the politician mentioned is a
great and shining success, but as a
winner he has proven through cam
paign after campaign, about the
sorriest lot the Republicans have
ever been burdened with. Why he
should waste so splendid an Imagi
nation on politics when the field for
dime novels is so wide, ti a
mystery.
Considerable speculation Is Indulg
ed in as to the course which the pol
Got Them Koine Heating.
The riattsmouth bnsebnll team,
which yesterday morning Journeyed
into the wilds of Auburn for two
games of baseball, got a fine beating
in the first game. They were moHt
unmercifully swiped and the pitcher
whom they took along, Torrent
from Glen wood, got such a severe
swatting that It loosened his back
teeth. Reports received hero were
to the effect that the ball was con
stantly In the air, the heavy hitters
of Auburn smiting his shoots and
rurves, both hip and thigh, and
keeping Plnttsmouth's hustling
young fielders on the constant Jump.
On the other hand, the auburn
young man who twirled the sphere
had the Plattsmouth lads guessing,
and kept their hits nt a low ebb and
Very muchly apart. Incidentally, the
unfeeling fielders of the Auburn
team developed a voracious appetite
for gobbling base hits and sich, and
the score nt the end wns a disap
pointing ono for Manager Warren's
young men. When it is remembered
that Auburn has a team which Is
nearly all paid players and ono w hich
is regarded ns a strong bidder for
the state championship, the result is
not near so bad and shows that the
boys played good bull. They hope
to win today, when McCauley will do
the slab work. Anyway, for a strictly
amateur team they play rattling
good ball and are the best team in
the city In years. Tho score yester
day was: Auburn, 10, l'lnttsniouth,
0 tho first shut-out of the year.
The locals return homo after this
game and Friday evening nt 5
o'clock they cross bats with the Snr-
geant-KIco company team of No
braska City. On Friday, July 23,
they are booked for a gnme with
Glenwood at the latter point. The
team is playing so well that they
ought to havo better crowds and
more encouragement.

itician referred to will take with the
publication which he is attempting
to edit An emissary departed this
day for Nehawka to see wherein T.
Jefferson O'Day has failed to come
to taw on the management of the
publication. It is said in some quar
ters that the proposal to have T.
Jefferson write scathing editorials
rebuking his late colleagues in the
field of democracy did not rest well
with some of the prospective repub
lican candidates and they raised a
howl which traversed the land-from
Dan to Nehawka and caused his in
definite suspension. Another piece
of Information is to the effect that
the was-to-be-edltor got cold extrem
ities and could see where his $1,500
stood to go into the melting pot,
and declined to Invest. Anyway, it
seems dear that in a few days Mr.
0Day will have to ante or pass the
buck, as the poet has put it. Should
he ante there is every prospect of
merry caln In the Republican camp
and should he pass up the deal the
prospects for grief in selecting a suc
cessor are equally good.
In the last few days the sentiment
In the Democratic ranks for W. E.
Rosencrans.the present county clerk,
for sheriff, has chrystalllzed rapidly
and If he could be induced to run,
there Is a strong probability of his
nomination, for It would spell de
feat for Sheriff Quinton. He hni
not yet permitted the use of his
name for the nomination, but his
friends are seriously talking of put
ting him up and running him In the
primaries without his consent, If nec
essary. Sheriff Qulnton's friends are
actively engaged in frying to prevent
this nomination, but they are mis
taken If they believe he Is the only
dangerous man for the office of sher
iff. The Democracy have a number
of good men who can win and they
are all being talked of by their
friends.
The Indications all around are for
a red-hot campaign all along the
line this fall, and the workers in
both parties seem very confident.
One feature Is the apparent unlted
ncss of the Democracy and their de
termination to put good officers In
control of the county.

(irts Into .Vore Trouble, i
!
Last eventide IVrt Kl-dge, having !
bet n Ujing with John Iiarleycorn ;
to an exclusive degree and lesing j
llutt urbanitv of mind and disposl-1
jtion which marks the entire gentle
1 man, proceeded to cut some didoes
at Mr. William Uarclay's cafe for
ladies and gentlemen. Ilert waxed
exceedingly eloquent In his remarks
while about this palatial eating pal-
ace and some of his oratory smelled j
strongly of brimstone and hell's fire
Mr. Barclay, who is pre-eminently a
man of peace and quietude, took
cognizance of the odor from Bert's
remarks, which are said to be sizzl
ing hot, and counseled him to be
more moderate in his expressions
unf.er sundry pains, penalties, etc..
etc., whereupon Bert feu Into a
great rage and as Mr. Barclay con
veyed him gently but firmly to the
door he vowed he would do. strange,
cruel and unusual doings to the
kindly disposed Mr. Barclay. As was
said before, Mr. Bardey being a man
of peace, restrained himself from
caving Mr. Eledge in, but con
tinued his fatherly advice. At
length El Toro Chief Ralney scented
the trouble from afar and came upon
Bert and William as their voices
rose In musical cadence upon the air,
and as Bert was announcing large
and Juicy Intentions to carve sundry
steaks and things off of William,
emphasizing his remarks by exhibit
ing a large piece of pocket cutlery
yclept a knife. El Toro .ainey
frowns upon such unseemly conduct
and at once squeezed Bert, hurry
ing him away to goal to consider
of the unwisdom of his acts. Herein
reposed he until the a. m., when he
was "haled before Jedge Archer,
there to receive equal and exact
Jestlce for being Intoxicated and us
ing abusive language. As Bert felt
unwell and was not ready for taking
his medicine, the Jedge consented to
postpone the listening to the tales
of all concerned until Friday at 9
of the clock. At that hour the mills
of Jestlce will grind and they are
warranted to crlnd exceedingly fine.
Last night Jedge Archer had Low
Klnnamon before him to answer to
having cracked Andrew Robb a swtft
punch upon the beak. Also came the
Toros, and many witnesses who
were duly called, sworn and exam
ined to find wherein Low was war
ranted in pushing in Andrew's face
and otherwise desecrating . his fea
tures. Each and every one they
swore that Andrew was certainly an
inoffensive man and that to their
knowledge Low had tested his mus
cle on Andrew with disastrous re
sults to that aged citizen. When all
was over and said Jedge Archer cast
a baleful eye upon ye culprit and
asked him what he considered of the
matter. Low responded that there
seemed an overwhelming preponder
ance of the evidence against him,
but as sure as he was born, he could
not help but believe somebody lied.
Jedge Archer seemed to be not much
Impressed with Low's belief in the
premises and proceeded to apply his
happy and efficient remedy for such
difficulties, dealing out Jestlce to
Low to the tune of five pieces of sll
vfr and trimmings, amounting to
many more pesos. In view of Low be
ing a workingman and desiring to
continue at work, he permitted him
time In which to secure said fine,
and sent him hence poorer in purse,
but Immensely richer in wisdom and
worldly knowledge.

HUSTLERS' CON
TEST FOR BOYS
Master Milton MclYlaken Wins
Out While Here on Visit
Always alert and wide-awake for
ideas that are original and taking,
Herbert Coffeen last April conceived
the plan of a boys' contest which
became known as "Coffeen's Cham
pion Hustlers' Contest for Boys."
Tho scheme was for each boy to
distribute as many slips on which it
was stated that each slip was prac
tically a vote for the boy whose
name appeared on it, and at the same
time a credit on goods bought by
whoever he had lined up, the cream
of the young lads of Sheridan ag
gregating exactly 200 in all were in
terested. The contest has been going
on for nearly three months and many
is the lad who as he lay down at
night wondered where he would
come out In the running. The fan
tastic dreams of "Little Nemo" were
not to bo compared with those of
our "little sons of Sheridan" over
the great "Coffeen Marathon."
Master Milton McMaken, who won
the first prize, leading with 2,709
slips, does not know at this writing
that he 13 the winner of prize No. 1,

at the shops recently and which
went Into effect yesterday consisted
of the promotion of W. C. Tippens
to be foreman of the planing mill,

thoroughly. That he win make a
success of his new position goes
without saying, as he has not alone

popular with the men under him.
Mr. Parker, who succeeds Foreman
Richmond, is said to be not so well
versed in the details of the work,
but Is a young man with the neces
sary qualifications for making an
excellent foreman. His friends In
the shops and In the city were grat
ified to note his promotion and are
confident he will give a good ac
count of himself in his new position.
"It would be hard to overstate
the wonderful change in my mother
since she began to use Electric Bit

of Danforth, Me. "Although past
70 years she seems really to be
growing young again. She suffered
untold misery from dspepsla for 20
years. At last she could neither
eat, drink or sleep. Doctors gave
her up and all remedies failed until
Electric Bitters worked such won
ders for her health." They invigor

and kidney troubles, induce sleep,

Self-Control.
Everybody has the right to ar
range his mode of life as It pleases
him but in the limits, of the law.
In the great multitude of people the
man, who is able to control hlni'
self, that is, to subordinate his de
sires to his reason, will come ahead.
The reason will command him to be
temperate in eating, drinking, en
joyment; in cases of indisposition it
will command him to seek help at
ionce. The most common sins of
the people are committed against
the digestive system. Let your rea
son tell you that you should at once
use Trlner's American Elixir of Bit

digestion and weakness. It should
be used as soon as a change in the
appetite is noticed, or other symp
