Their friends will be very much pleased to learn that they have decided to make this move. THIS IS FINE AUTOMOBILE WEATHER AND THE ROADS ARE IN FINE CONDITION These fine autumn days are certain ly a boon to the automobile owners who are making the most of them by driving through the country in their machines and enjoyinjr to the fullest the bracing Nebraska fall air. The roads in this vicinity are in very goo 1 shape and the road supervisors are busily engaged in keeping them up in first-class shape so tlr't to travel over them is a pleasure. The county and city have both put forth special ef forts this year on the good roads proposition and now have a better system of roads throughout the city and county than for some years. The county has been greatly up against it this year, owing to the heavy rains in the spring that washed out a great many bridges, and this entailed a great deal of extra expense in pro viding for new bridges. CANVASSING BOARD BUSY AT WORK ON THE CASS COUNTY ELECTION RETURNS From Friday's Iailjr. The task of canvassing the vote at the election last Tuesday was com menced this morning at the court house !y the canvassing board, con sisting of tleorge L. Farley, .John Tighe and County Clerk Libershul. The job is a ver y lenethy one, as there are several propositions as well as the full list of state and county of fices to be checked over, and the hoard will be compelled to spend the entire day at it, and if' they finish the woik before tomorrow will be very lucky. Until the board finishes up their work it will be impossible to tell what the vote on the supreme judge, district and county judges and the woman suffffrage in the county was. The same condition prevails over the en tire state and the final result will be in doubt in the supreme judgeship for several days.

Archer's court was occupied in hear ing the famous case of Uaker vs. Cummings, in which the plaintiff claims that the defendant maintains a pig pen that is a nuisance and an annoyance to the plaintiff. The C. J. I'aker and I. N. Cummings families are neighbors in South Park anil for several months the neighborhood there has been stirred by the fact of the controversy over the question of whether the pig pen was a nuisance or not, and the matter was presented to the city council who in turn passed it on lo the board of health, who de cided that while the pig pen might be annoying it was not a menace to the health of the neighboi hood, and ii was then decided to appeal the mat ter to the courts of b.vv to settle the much-mooted question one way or the other by the complainants, the Rak ers. Practically the entire section of the city where the principals reside have been brought into the caso by summoning the residents to testify in the case, although in most cases they came unwillingly and were not aware that they were to be dragged into the matter until notified to ap pear in court. The case seems to be one of the usual type of neighborhood rows wh;ch should have been settle ) without the necessity of a trial in public. The large number of witnesses will make the case a lung drawn out affair and will probably occupy the greater part of the day in its hear ing. Judge J. E. Douglass appears as the attorney for the jdnintiff. while I). O. Dwyer is looking after the in terests of the defendant's in the case.

BILES ARE TURNING TURTLE On account of the large number of j automobiles turning turtle nowadays, ; killing and maiming many of the oceu- pants, there has been much thought on the matter by which such accidents will be less frequent. It has been said, apparently with gooel logic, that ! . !.,., i i. n,i .....i. .!:..:.,... ) it is becav.se the drive: loses his head chine. The driver of an automobile when in danger of turning turtle feels jthe wheels skidding into the elitch and intuitively turns the front wheels to the e enter of the roivl. This h'js a tendency to turn the machine at right angles to the direction of the mo mentum and turning over is inevita ble, if the machine is running at a brisk speed. Instead of eloing this thing, the old and experienced elriver will turn the front wheels to the bot tom of the elitch when the rear wheels ae felt shielding; he remains that way until he has the machine umler con trol. The principle of the rule is that as long as the wheels are kept in line of momentum the car cannett turn over, hut as soon as the machine is headed across the line of motion then it must roll, if the rate of speed at tained is sufficiently great.
