A Candidate for Connnissioner.
From Monday's Dally.
It is reported that Hermann Dett
man of Elmwood will be an independ
ent candidate for commissioner in
the Third district. He announced
three months before the Republican
convention which met at Union, and
was the only candidate for the Re
publican nomination up to that time
when he was completely thrown over
board for a man who had never
thought of being a candidate. Mr.
Dettman thinks he was not treated
fairly by the ring at Union and many
of his Republican friends who think
likewise have induced him to come
out as an Independent candidate. The
Journal can say this much for Mr.
Dettman that he is a good man and
well fitted for county commissioner,
and if elected will do the fair thing
by everyone.
J. M. Young and wife departed this
morning for Wayne, Neb., where they
will visit relatives for a few days.
They will go to Carrol, Neb., before
returning and visit Mr. Young's moth
er. Grandma Young was eighty-five
years old last Washington's birthday
and Is remarkably spry for a woman
of her years. Mr. and Mrs. Young
will be absent from the city about a
week.
SUDDEN DEATH OF .
All OLD RESIDENT
Julius Doehring Found Dead at
His Home in This City on
Sunday Morning
From Monday'! Dally.
The neighbors and relatives of Mr.
Julius Doehring were shocked yes
terday morning to find his dead body
lying on the floor of his home, cold
and rigid in death. Mrs. Hollls, a
neighbor, made the discovery about
7:30 a. m. yesterday morning when
she went to Mr. Doehring'g residence
on an errand. Mrs. Doehring had
been absent from home for a few
days, having been called to her
daughter, Mrs. F. J. Lillle's home
near Murray to attend their little
child which was not expected to live.
No one was with Mr. Doehring and
he was in his usual health when Mrs.
Doehring went to the country last
Wednesday. The deceased was last
seen alive about 9 o'clock Saturday
evening when he talked with Mrs.
Hollls near the Doehring home. It
is not known at what time Mr. Doeh
ring passed away. His bed appar
ently had not been disturbed. He lay
on the kitchen floor and apparently
had been sitting on a chair when
death came, as he was lying on the
kitchen floor, the chair tipped over,
and one foot rested on the chair. The
lamp sat on the table near, the oil
exhausted. It Is thought he died
Saturday night shortly after talking
with Mr. Hollls.
A doctor was summoned and his
opinion was that Mr. Doehring died
from a paralytic stroke. The deceased
suffered a similar stroke four years
I ago, and a second one last Novem
ber, but apparently recovered the use
of all of his faculties, but was weak
ened from the former attacks, and
had not been able to work for a year
or more.
Julius Doehring was born in Koe
nig, Reich Saxon, on the Spree, Ger
many. Mr. Doehring was married In
the land of his birth on the 12th day
of April, 1872, to Miss Christina
Schwar. To this union four children
were born, the children being: Au
gust of Omaha, Mrs. R. C. Jahrlg of
Cheyenne, Wyo., and Mrs. F. J. Lillle
of near Murray. One son, Ernest,
died in infancy. He leaves one broth
er and three sisters in Germany. Mr.
Doerhlng and his estimable wife came
to America and to Plattsmouth about
twenty-seven years ago and have
since that time resided in this city.
During most of the years Mr. Doeh
ring had been in the employ of the
Burlington. Mr. Doehring was an
exempllary citizen, a kind husband
and father, and bad the respect and
esteem of all who knew him.
SPECIAL TERM OF DISTRICT
COURT FOR CRIMINAL CASES
From Monday's Dally.
Judge Travis entered an order this
morning calling a special term of the
district court to convene this morn
ing at 10 o'clock for the purpose of
considering matters in criminal cases
and other matters and causes not
triable by Jury. The purpose of the
session being to arraign and read the
Information to Isadore Sltzman and
Louis Keezer, charging them with the
willful and premdltated murder of
Mike Geno at Cedar Creek, on Sep
tember 1st. Ben Baker of Omaha
came down to appear for the accused
men. Judge Baker Is a skillful crimi
nal lawyer and will probably defend
the accused men at the coming Octo
ber term of court. Sheriff Quinton
brought Sltzman, handcuffed, from
Omaha, and brought both men before
the court to hear the reading of the
Information, which the law requires
to be done In open court In the pre
sence of the accused. It Is likely now
that the men will stand trial, and
probably contend that their confes
sion was extorted from them by prom
ises of leniency on the part of the
officials whose duty it will be to
convict them of the crime to which
they have confessed.
Return From Session.
Rev. Qade returned from Tecumseh
this afternoon where he went last
Monday to attend a session of the

In the consideration of business be
fore the Presbytery.
Attends Itolvt'i-'s Convention.
Charles Herger, the popular baker,
departed Saturday evening on No. 2
for Baltimore and the east to attend
the Master Baker's of United States
and Canada convention. This con
vention is one of the' most Important
ever held by the bakers of this coun
try, and the city of Baltimore has
given the bakers the freedom of the
city. And the visitors are Invited
to visit the naval academy at Anap
olis and take in the sights about the
fort. Mr. Herger will go to New
Yoi city after the convetion closes

DEPARTMENTAL WORK IN
TIE CITT'SJRADE SCHOOLS
From Monday's Dally.
An Innovation in the grade work
in the city schools was made this
morning by the Introduction of de
partmental work In the grades. By
this method instead of having charge
of a room, teaches one subject In sev
eral rooms. By this method a teach
er has to make only one preparation
and can devote more time to the prep
aration of her subject. Superintend
ent Gamble has contemplated intro
ducing this work in the schools for
some time and has made a careful
study of the method and its results
in many of the eastern cities. The
board of education is heartily In fav
or of it and it is believed it will re
sult In much good to students. The
work was started In all sixth, seventh
and eighth grades in the central
building today. Following are the
teachers who have been assigned to
the work and their subjects: gram
mer, Anna Heisel; reading, Mae S.
Morgan; history, Blanche Bell; geo
graphy, Clee Applegate. Each of the
above named teachers has made care
ful preparation in her department.
Eaci, will teach her subject excuslve
ly In the three grades. 160 pupils
will take up this work today. Later,
it will probably be Introduced into
other buildings and possibly other
grades, but not this year. But two
schools in the state offer department
al work In the grades, namely: Om
aha and Lincoln. Omaha has offered
the work for several years while Lin
coln introduced it into the seventh
and eighth grades last year. Miss
Windham, recently elected supervisor
of drawing, begins her work today.
Everything gives promise of a most
successful Bchool year in all depart
ments. The grade enrollment is
about the same as last year while
the high school shows an increase.

BELL AND INDEPENDENTS
The sceno of the struggle between
the Bell and Independent telephone
systems, a fight that has been brew
ing ever since the Independents be
gan operation In the state, was trans
ferred from Omaha to the supreme
court today. The Independents,
through a suit brought by the attor
ney general, wish to oust the Bell
company from the state, to enjoin It
from making connections with other
Independent companies that It now
operates with and to force It to Bever
Its connections taken over at Platts
mouth, Nebraska City and Paptlllon.
The Bell company filed answers In-
supreme court Saturday charging that
the Independents constitute the trust
In this state, that the Independents
have organized to kill competition
and that the ouster suit against the
Hell people is brought not by tho
state in the interest of the people,
but in the Interest of the opposing
corporation.
The purchase of a controlling in
terest in the Independent companies
at Paplllion, Plattsmouth and Ne
braska City Is admitted, but It Is as
serted that the solos were made In
good faith and that they are not In
violation of the Junkln anti-trust law.
