THE DOUBLE ELECTION BOARD MEETS FAVOR House Committee of Whole Advances Measure to Third Heading Skunk Hill Killed. Lincoln, Jan. 21. The next election held in Nebraska will be taken care of by a double election board, if a bill by Representative Hates, which was dis cussed in committee of the whole and advanced to third reading, becomes a law. The bill, besides providing for a double board in all election precincts where more than sixty votes are ca?t, also proides that when twenty-five ballots have been cast, these ballots shall be turned over to a counting board. Representatives of each par ty are permitted to watch the count ing, hut prohibited from "leaking" the result of the count by a maximum penalty, a jail sentence and disfran chisement from voting for five years. Skunks Not Permitted. Skunks will have to depend upon their own natural resources the year around for protection, a bill giving them the protection of the state hav ing been indefinitely postponed on re port of the fish and game commit tee. The committee also killed by rec ommendation a bill giving parties the right to hunt and fish within the coun ty in which they resided. Without a word of discussion, the committee of the whole ordered to third reading the McAllister joint resolution for a constitutional amend ment authorizing the state or any of its counties to establish land banks. Later, Mr. Osterman suggested that a bill of such importance ought to receive more attention and upon his motion it was put back on the general fie. Money for Cemetery. The bill appropriating $1,700 to buy land for a cemetery at the Grand Island Soldier's Home was ordered en grossed. The one relating to stan dard fruit containers, was laid over.

At Any Drue Store IN PLATTSM'OUTII FORTY YEARS AGO. Dr. Livingston informed us Mon day morning that Joseph Yanders a Bohemian, while out shooting on Platte bottom Sunday morning, acci dentally shot himself in the left arm, about 8 o'clock, a. m. Dr. L. was called immediately on his . return home and saw at a glance that am putation was necessary to save the boys life. The father of the boy ob jected, and accepted as a matter of course, what the Doctor told him: "that the boy's life blood was on his (the father's) head," and would not be pursuaded when Doc. told him that it would cost him more for a coJlin and funeral than the Doctor's bill would amount to. Mr. Yanders died Tuesday morning, and almost to the last protested that 'twas useless to live with one arm so he could earn no money without it. He was onj of the best members of the Bohemian Band and will be greatly missed. Late yesterday afternoon as Dr. Jos. Hall and Mr. Will Wise were riding with Dr. Livingston's ponus and buggy, just as they crossed Dr. Schildkhect's bridge the horses be came frightened at a passing team and and shied toward the creek there. To stop that Dr. Hall jumped out, to catch their heads but unfortunately stumbled and the team ran round by Ilowlund's throwing Wise out and spraining his ankle severely. He was carried to Dr. Schildknecht's otlice and afterwards taken home. Just before this a German by the name of Lo heide, who lives on Horn's land, near the Meisinger's was going out 011 the Avenue with a heavy load of lumber, his horses also frightened and the lumber slid forward and sideways causing the horses to run and throw ing Loheide ofT. The wagon ran over his shoulder and neck, killing him in stantly. They carried him to John Wayman's where Drs. Livingston and Hall vainly tried their skill. From thence the body was taken to the German school house. The funer al will be held today at 2 p. m. About 1 a. m. Thursday of last week five parties were picked up by Marshal Murphy and Deputy Sheriff Ashley, for disturbing the peace, (yelling, pounding on fences etc.,) on the road from a certain house op posite the old Surveyor General's of fice. After crossing Vine St., on the road to jail, one of them, named Fos tr concluded he wanted to walk on the side walk, contrary to Murphy's orders, who wanted to keep them in a squad, and Mr. Ashley stepped over to the walk to convince the gentleman that he had lost his way, got on the wrong track, or that he was off the road. The fellow said that the walk was mostly to walk on and he'd be G d if he wouldn't walk on it. Mr. A. differed with him, and undertook to shove him back where he belonged But as he tried the same game and tried to shove also, Mr. A. gave him a slight rap over the eye with a little billy which quickly convinced him who was "boss" and then he went along all right. At 4 o'clock the ex amination was called when Mr. Fos ter was charged with resisting an of ficr. Mr. Pottenger, attorney for de fendant, demanded a jury trial, when the following jury was subpoenaed: W. D. Jones, F. E. White, Robert Sherwood, Chas. E. Black, G. A. Mag ney and R. O. Fellows, who brought in a verdict of guilty, recommending his Honor Judge Sullivan to pro nounce as light a sentence as possi ble, owing to his having been pretty severely punished already His Hon or pronounced a fine of $5.00 and costs of suit, which brought forth from the prisoner many murmurs of being wronfully accused, as he did rot make any noise or pound on the fence, which caused his case to be compared with poor dog Tray's. He will languish in jail till fine and costs are paid, at any rate. . DANCE.

Chairman Streit of tlie clearing house reported that records of his or ganization were ready for examina tion. The committee asked that it be no tified if any house refuse th'-ir indi vidual records.
