Perhaps no fatality in recent years haa cast such deep and universal sor- ... . .1- A 1. - row over this community man me death of Miss Ida Dovey, at 12 o'cloik on Monday night, as the result of a runaway accident. On Sunday afternoon Miss Dovey, diughter of Isaac Dovey, and Mies Mabel Wilkinson, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Wilkinson, of this city, drove to Carthage, where they spent the afternoon and evening. They started home shortly after nine o'clock, and all went well until they reached a tnr Tii.ui r r . r . r 1 l 1 1 i n mill n i. li c oot of Washington street, when their hor?e became frightened and in at tempting to check the animal the bridle bit was snapped in two. After this the girls had no control whatever of the horse and he continued his flight. The horse belonged to Mr. Dovey and it was hitched to a high tested open buggy. Just south of the mill the right front wheel of the vehi cle came in contact with the banister on the north side of the stone bridge spanning the tailrace. The buggy was thrown on a rock, the right hand shaft was snapped and the cross-bar broken and the horse became free from the rig. The suddenness of the stop ping of the vehicle threw both occu pants out with great force. They were thrown over the bridge railing, land ing on the west bank of the race upon a lot of stones lining the water's edge some twenty feet distant. Just how long the girls were at the bottom of this ravine, possibly scrambl ing in and out of the water is unknown. About 10 o clock Kiiey mini ana nis lady friend passed that way. He n)ticed the loo3e horse, caught it and tied it to a. nearby telegraph polo. Then, it is said he went to the buggy and heard moans issuivg from beneath the bridge. The story runs that he saw at a glance that there had been a serious accident and he returned to the Pan Handle depot to obtain assistance. But Walter Rhodes says he and his two companions, Frank and Harry Rhodes, on their way home from Indianapolis, were the first ones to discover the pros trate forms of the two women. How ever, before going to them, they aroused Isaac Museellman, got his lan tern and rushed to the water's edge. They found the two girU and then aroused some other persons and sum moned physicians. Drs. Holloway and Robert Smith answered the urgent call, The two girls were found in a sorry looking plight, but as quickly as pos sible the rescueing party secured the prostrate young women. When found Miss Dovey was lying almost entirely in the water and Miss Wilkinson sitting at the water's edge with her feet hanging over in the water. Both were in a helpless conidtion. The boys reached the Wilkinson girl first and raised her to her feet. They carried her up the embankment to the road side. At the same time the others re moved Miss Dovey from the water. She was unconscious and did not gain consciousness. Miss Dovey was re moved first to the home of George Shipley and afterwards to the home of Clarence Willis near the scene of the accident. She received every at tention that could be given. Miss Wilkinson, by the aid of two men, was able to walk to her home. She was histerical, and, although she was badly bruised about the body and was Weeding from several ugly cuts, she seemed to be more Bolicituous about her friend's condition than her own, as she asked them time and again about Ida. Miss Dovey was removed Monday morning to the home of Mrs. C. I. Lemmon, North Jefferson street, where she had made her home for many years. She lingered uutil 12 o'clock that night when she passed away. -Kingston (Ind.) Banner. The young lady referred to in the above article is a cousin of Messrs. G. E., H. N. and C. H. Dovy of Platts mouth and the news to them is sad indeed. Electricity at the Shop. II. A. Garder, electrical engineer of the Burlington System, accompanied by his assistant, Mr. Collins, is in the city. The Burlington has been figur ing on installing an electric light plant at the shops and Mr. Gardner came here to inquire into the advisability of taking power fiom the city plant. After a thorough investigation he will make his report to the company and the result of his visit will be made known later. First Electric Fewer. The first electric power under the new order of things and the first ma chine driven by day power since the establishment of the electric plant in 1889. was set to going today when the new Monotype machine in the Daily News office was starten up to test it. Nebraska Again On the Map The State Gets Back Into the Republican Column and Everybody Should Rejoice. GOOD INDICATIONS FROM ALL OTHER POINTS For an Off Year the Success of the Republi can Ticket Over the Country is Generally Satisfactory. William J. (iaynor, democratic candidate for mayor of New York, elected by 00,000, but rest of republican ticket elected by good majorities, which puts the financial matters in the hands of the republicans. Tom Johnson, democratic candidate for the fiftli time as mayor of Cleve land, Ohio, at last goes down to defeat by probably 5,000. In Massachusetts the returns up to midnight indicate that Gov. Ebon S. Draper, republican, has been re-elected over James II. Vahey, democrat, by a greatly reduced majority, estimated at 10,000. Governor Draper's majority last year was 00,000. In Rhode Island Governer Pothirr, republican, was re-elected over Olney Arnold, democrat, by a substantial majority In Virginia the early returns indicate that the democratic ticket headed by Judge Mann for governor has been elected by ubout the usual majority. In Philadelphia Samuel P. Itotan, republican, was elected district attorney over D. Clarence Gibboncy, representing the luw and order society and the reform element. Rotan's majority exceeded that in a previous campaign, being estimated upwards of 30,000. The returns from San Francisco, where reform issues are uppermost, indi cate a triumph for the union labor ticket and a defeat for Ileney for district attorney. The Pennsylvania state election for treasurer, auditor general and judge of the supreme court resulted in the usual republicain majority. In Maryland the constitutional amendment disfranchising the negro is still in doubt, the Baltimore vote being srtongly against the amendment, while re turns from the interior indicate increasing strength for the amendment. In Indianapolis, where the temperance issue has figured, Lewis Shank, re publican, is elected over Charles A. Guess, democrat. Results In Cass County Republicans and Democrats Di vide up the Offices and Neither Side Really Happy. The following are the majorities as far as telephonic communication can give them and are prohably as correct as can be had at this time. They are figures given out by the county clerk: Schlater, Treasurer, democrat G07 Beeson, Judge, republican 499 Quinton, Sheriff, republican 460 Trunkenboltz, Surveyor, republican 250 Foster, Superintendent, domocrat..l70 Clements, Surveyor, republican 97 Morgan, Clerk, democrat 89 Friedrich, Commissioner, republican 79 Snyder, Register, democrat 48 The canvass of the returns by the official canvassers will probably take place Friday, but it is not supposed that the result as to those elected will be changed though the majorities may be somewhat different. Still Coming. Mr. Wilson and family arrived Tues day from Auburn, where they have re sided for seventeen years, to buy a little home in this city of fifteen or twenty acres. Divorce papers have been filed by Frances Hospenthal against Caspar A. Hospenthal, her hnsband, charging desertion. Hospenthal, it is "alleged deserted his wife and child the 17th of latt March and is now residing in North Dakota. The Scottish Rite Masons. SHOT IN THE FOOT. A shooting scrape this morning created some excitement, overshadow ing for a time the election aftermath. Last night Tom Sherwood went to the home of Jimmie Williams and demanded the right to talk to his his wife who was stopping with her parents. Being refused he became enraged and smashed the glass door, at the same time, it is alleged, threat ening to kill his wife. The screams of the women called Chief Amick to the scene, but before he arrived Sherwood had left. The chief notified the night watch to arrest Sherwood upon sight, but faieed to do so. This morning the chief met Sherwood and informed him that lie would probably be placed under arrest soon, whereupon Sher wood said he would like to have a talk with his wife, promising to be decent about it and not make a scene. Amick and Sherwood went to the Williams home and the latter tried to persuade his wife to return home with him,but this she refused to do, saying that she was afraid of him. They left the house and started down town, but after going a short distance Sherwood stopped, saying he had forgotten to tell his wife something and wanted to return. They went back and just at that time Mr. Williams appeared upon the scene. He rushed into the house from the rear and grabbing a shotgun as he ran, went out the front door. Sherwood saw him coming and at tempted to make his cscajie, but was a trifle too late. Williams fired as Sherwood ran, hitting him in the foot, below the ankle, before the chief could reach and disarm him. Sher wood was taken to Dr. Livingston's office and Williams arrested and taken to jail . The cause of the trouble is ancient history in Plattsmouth . Sherwood and his wife have not been able to live in peace and harmony and a long time ago separated. They became recon ciled somewhat, at least sufficiently to resume their family relations, but only for a time. Trouble was resumed and another separation took place, the wife taking up her residence with her parents. Sherwood, it is claimed, has made numerous threats against his wife and it is unquestionably due t these threats that he was shot. Forty candidates will receive, the degrees from the fourth to the thirty second, inclusive, at the convocation of the Scottish Rite Masons of the Spokane jurisdiction in that city the week of November 22. Sovereign Grand Commander James D. Richardson, 33d degree, and Sovereign Grand Inspector General Ernest Bertram! Ilusscy, 33d degree, will lie in attendance, others assisting being V. S.

There arc probably not one hundred men in Nebraska who can correctly name all of the candidates they fav ored in the election booth. Nearly all may be able to call the names of the three judges of the supreme court. Be low that part of the ticket the mem ory is likely to retain only a vague impression. Voting is a serious busi ness, and may- be so regarded by a majority of the men who exercise the right of franchise, but the task im posed by our long ballot is beyond their inclination to master, even if it is not beyond their powers. There is something in the chargo that below the head of the ticket tho direct pri mary is likely to lead to accidental nominations. The fault is not inherent in the primary. It belongs to our sys tem of making nearly all public posi tions elective. One of the good results following tho adoption of the primary is the lesson it teaches of the futility of artcmpting to choose under our archaic system men with qualifications for offices that require special or tech nical ability. The remedy is the "short ballot." In state affairs, the governor would be elected under this system, and the heads of the departments would be his appointees exactly as the president se lects his cabinet. The county commis sioners would have personal responsi bility for departments, possibly, and would engage experts to do tho work exactly as the directors of a bank select their bookkeepers and ac countants and cashiers to look after thej)iisiness. In the city the commis sion system concentrates public atten tion upon five men, whose names take the place of the ten or fifteen general city officers usually chosen under the old municipal system. The "short bal lot" is the direct road to efficient, eco nomical and responsible government. State Journal. Acknowledge the Benefit James Craig, a son of J. M.

After reading the public statement of this representative citizen of Platts mouth, given below, you must come to this conclusion: A remedy which cured years ago, which has kept the kidneys in good health since, can be relied up on to perform the same work in other cases. Read this: J. W. Hickson, Oak Street, Platts mouth, Nebr., says: "I will never cease to praise Doan's Kidney Pills, as they were of such great benefit to me several years ago. My kidneys and back were a source of constant suffer ing and I was subject to attacks of lumbago that came on without the least warning. The simplest move ment was painful and I was anoyed more or less by the irregular passages of the kidney secretions. I read so much about Doan's Kidney Pills, that I finally procured a box from Gering & Co. 's drug store. I was so gratified with the results of their use that publicly endorsed them in 1906 and at this time, I heartily renew that state' ment. I hope that other kidney suf ferers will profit by my experience For sale by all dealers. .Price 50 cents. Foster-Kilburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States.
