Not wholly for their hospitable effect do curtains constitute such an important household adjunct, but because they are one glimpse of the interior of 3 our home which passersby can see.

SOENNICHSEN Phones 53, 54 and 144 Plattsmouth, Nebraska From Wednesday's Dally. j The city election yesterday was one that did not lure out a great many of the voters as there were no contests to speak of and the result was that less than half of the vote was out. The three-cornered race for mem- ! bers of the board of education proved the only contest of the day and re sulted in the election of Mrs. William A. Robertson and Frank E. Schlater out of the three-sided field. The vote showed Mrs. Robertson topping the list with 383. Mr. Schlater 349, and E. H. Wescott 300. In the first ward, Councilman Frank Bestor received 131 votes while the friends of E. C. Harris gave him eight votes for the position, j For councilman In the second ward there was more of a battle than in any of the wards as work by the i friends of former Councilman Frank ; F. Buttery caused the writing in of his name on the ballot and he re ceived 57 votes to 84 cast for Ex Mayor John P. Sattler. Thirteen ballots on which the name of Buttery had been written but not voted for were thrown out by the board but this would not have affected the re sult of the election of Mr. Sattler. Councilman Ptacek had his name , written In by four of the voters. NEHAWKA MEN URGE OPENING OF A Prominent Citizens of that City Here Before County Commissioners to Urge Needed Roadway. From Wednesday's Dally. Yesterday afternoon a "delegation, composed of former Senator A. F. Sturm, Vincent Straub, Raymond Pollard, F. L. Nutzman, D. C. West and Frank P. Sheldon, came up from Nehawka to meet with the board of county commissioners relative to a road that it is desired to have opened up and fixed for travel in the terri tory a mile and a half west of the town of Nehawka. In that locality there is only one road having a bridge over the Weep ing Water creek and should any thing occur to damage the bridge the travel for a number of miles around would be affected as this one road is the only place of crossing. It is desired by the farmers and towns people as well to have a new road fixed up that would be handier for the travelers and would also assure two bridges over the Weeping Water leading to Nehawka instead of the one. The delegation pointed out the sit uation to the commissioners, Messrs. Straub, Pollard and Nutzman being the chief spokesmen for the party and their showing greatly Impressed the board. With a condition existing that might cause a great Inconvenience to travel in case the one bridge in the Nehawka vicinity was damaged, it would seem that they should have some relief and the new road and Tn the thlrrl wnril PnnnHlmnTi Tl i w K-nnrr wns rp.PifMod. rPivin?
