What is nicer and easier kept ilean than a good
floor?
We have some ye'low pine flooring that will take
a finish almost equal to oak and the cost to cover a
room will be about the same as an ordinary rug.
Think of the difference in wearing quality.
Your kitchen needs a new floor. Why not give

! He Knows His Business.
I From absolute knowledge we can
! testify to the ability of Joseph Lidgett
: as a gardner for we were the recipi
; ent of a box of tomatoes and cabbage
i grown at his home under his careful
j cultivation, on what is known as the
Lynn Arbor just north of Union. Mr.
j Lidgett has an abundance 06 garden
(truck of all kinds which are of the
I finest grown. One of the tomatoes
which he presented to the writer
weighed cue pound and nine ounc
es', whi'e others were just as good.
Any one d'.sniug the best in any line
of vegetables grown will do well to
get in touch with Mr. Joseph Lidgett
for he sure knows how to grow the
stuff.

own V,'. L. Stine set his fences in
and gave he public a strip of ur.nir.d
wide enough for a road of their own.
It looks no-v iike after Mr. S.iae l.i.s
given without the asking even ol tins
.'of his lands lor a road, thi county
should tak- hold of the matter and
give the required amount of 'vo-k to
make and :ia ntain a good pas: able
road at ina: place.

the car out of the way of the on
coming train, the engine passing, but
the front wheel of the auto WA3
caught by the truck of the baggage
car and the auto thrown around and
away from the track in such a way
4 that it was cleared from the train.
The wheel of the auto and the front
portion of the frame and radiator
were somewhat delapidated, but Mrs.

Still Near Victory.
The Union base ball team last Sun
day at the Dunbar park, came very
near winning a game, a thing which
has not happened for many a moon.
The game was finished with the runs
being eight for the team of Dunbar
and seven for that of Union. Th!s
is just as near as they have won,
with the single exception of the game
played at Plattsmouth. where the tal
lies were five each and on account
of the lateness of the hour, the game
could not be continued longer. Just
as the car carrying the mascot of
the Union team was entering the
suburbs of Durbar, it was noticed
the smoke settled to the ground 14 cm
a nearby dwelln and with a slight
breeze from the ea&t and a black cat
crossed the road in front of the auto,
it was evident that the team could
not overcome thehandicap. However,
they will play with the team from
Murdock next Monday and they will
meet a fine set of young ni-n with a
determination to play ball, but a jol
lv set though. Now go 10 it boys

other boys will.

RESULTS NOT ALL IN
6GV. ALLEN CHOICE OF KANSAS
Although Opposed by Labor Looks
Like Senatoi Gore of Okla
homa, is Defeated.
St. Louis, Aug. 3. -Unofficial in
complete returns from today's state
wide primary indicated John Atkin
son had defeated Frank H. Farris and
Charles H. Mayer for the democrat
ic nomination for governor. Arthur
M. Hyde and E. K. E. McJimsey, con
testing for the republican nomina
tion, were running neck and neck,
the former polling a large vote in the
rural sections of the state, and the
latter running strong in many of the
larger cities.
Senator Sheldon P. Spencer ap
n:)rfTiilv won iivpr Dwislit V. Davie
and James L. Minnis for the republi
can nomination for United States sen
ator. Breckinridge Long was run
ning strong for the democratic nomi
nation and it anneared he would de
feat his five opponents Charles M.
Hay. George M. scruton, Artnur
Lindsey, Henry S. Priest and John C.
Higdon.
Senator Gore Defeated
Oklahoma City. Aug. 3. A tabu
lation by the Daily Oklahoman at
midnight of returns from 810 pre
cincts from fifty-five of the seventy-
seven counties in the state give
Scott Ferris 61.200 votes for the
democratic nomination for U. S sen
ator and Senator Thomas P. Gore
5S..572 in today's statewide primary.
Early returns, coming in rapidly
from towns and cities, but slowly
from the rural districts at midnight
gave Scott Ferris the lead over Sen
ator Gore. Returns on the repub
lican contest for the senatorial nom
ination' were meagre.
The Gore strength, it was said at
political headquarters here, would
not appear until late as it lies in he
rural precincts.
Kansas Incumbents Win
Topeka, Kan., Aug. 3. Early re
turns from today's statewide primary
election indicate Senator Chas. Cur
tis, Governor Henry J. Allen and all
present congressmen are leading their
respective opponents.
The returns from the city indicate
labor voted against Allen, putting
him behind Senator Curtis. In the
rural districts, however, the vote for
the governor apparently was large.
The democratic returns up to a
late hour were, not sufficient to form
any estimate of the strength of the
four candidates for the nomination
for governor. Jonathan Davis, W. S.
Hvatt, Dempster Potts and O. T.
Wood.
George H. Hodges, democrat, was
nominated for the United States sen
ate without opposition.
The following named were nomi
nated for representatives in congress
on the republican ticket without op
position: Homer Hoch, Hays B.
White and J. N. Tincher.
These democratic- candidates for
representatives in congress were un
opposed: J. D. Tarkington, Thomas
F. Johnson, J. R. Beeching and W.
A. Avers.
EVEN THE BEST OF 'EM FAIL.
From "Wednesday's Dally.
The tragic death of Lieut. Lock
lear and his assistant, recounted in
today's press dispatches will come as
a surprise to those who saw the fear
less aviator perform at the state fair
last fall. And, although wonderful
strides have been made in flying, it
cannot be decreed as absolutely safe,
.iny more than automobiling, or any
of the various "improved" modes of
travel that have come in vogue dur
ing the past decade. Locklear and
his assistants flaw over Plattsmouth
in two planes last fall while enroute
to Lincoln and were seen by large
numbers of Plattsmouth people who
were attracted by the rumbling of
their motors as they swooped down
over the buildings apparently in an
effort to gain their proper bearings,
for soin they rose to a high altitude
and continued on their way.
Frank Wooster was among those
going to Omaha this afternoon to
visit for a few hours while attend
ing to some matters of business in
