IN FUTURE SHE WILL TIME HER BIRTHDAYS. A School Teachers Surprised and Made Happy by her Friends Last Night. Miss Pearl Nichols, one of the most deservedly popular of Plattsmouths many popular teachers was given a delightful surprise last night.when at a reasonable hour she was notified by phone to "come" to the home of Mrs. Crabill's Sr., and to bring her 'Mann" with her. Equal, as usual to all emergencies, Miss Nichols obeyed the summons and in due time arrived at the place to which she had been directed and there found her friends, the Hotel Riley bunch, in waiting to congratulate her upon being so young that she could still have a birthday and tell of it without blushing. She was received by Miss Howard, another sweot schoolmam, who believes in making Hay(es) while the sun shines,or, more properly, she believes in having a good time when others are also made happy. Miss Howard officiated - as hostess and after the. preliminaries had been gone through with, all sat down to the enjoyment of dominoes, at which game George Mann si owed hi i self an expert and carried iff the h nors and likewise the candy, a box of which was presented to the winner. M;S3 Nichols was presented with a tkaiiti ful gold clock by her fr'ends, the presentation being mat e by a re presentative of the "bunch" in a speech of extreme eloquence.

DEMOCRATS AFRAID Fear That Primary bill may Prove a Boomerang Against Them. MAY MEAN DEFEAT OF SIIALLENBERGER. A Feeling That Mayor Dahlman May Be Benefitted by the New . Law. Many democratic leaders arc look ing askance at the amended primary law by which any person is allowed to vote any ticket, provided he votes it from start to finish. This attitude towards the law is brought about by a conviction that the measure will act as a boomerang if conditions remain as they are. The party organ at Omaha is voicing this discontent, and pointing to the practical working of such a measure in Chicago. It de clares that hostile party workers are able to dominate the nomination of opposition candidates if the plan is taken up widely. The open primary law was a creature of the last legislature. It was known as the Ollis bill, and provided that no voter need give his politics in asking for a ballot, but might vote either or any of the tickets, which are to be printed in parellel columns. When the bill was being discussed it was hinted in many places and openly by onp or two members of the legislature that the law would act in favor of the minority party in the state, that it would allow this party to put up its one candidate, and not finding oppo sition to center all attention upon the opposition cnadidatc. Democratic party leaders figured at that time that it would be the minority party in by far the majority of the counties of the state. Since then the conviction has grown on the confident leaders that the state may be more than normally democratic at this time, and if so the law will be taken advantage of by the' republicans. Friends of Governor Shallenberger and of the liquor interests as well both have fears concerning the opera tion of the law. C. H. Aldrich is the only candidate so far in the field for the republican nomination for gover nor and no other seem to care to ap ply. If he alone is the standard bearer republicans can do what they are ab'e to, to sidetrack Shallenberger by voting for Dahlman, figuring that the latter is the weaker man of the' two. On the other hand, according to the prediction of a democrat who is, opposed to county option, it may be the result of electing a county option legislature. This is how this part leader views it: Republicans who fa vor a liberal policy towirds saloois will naturally favor Dahlman inst -nd of Shallenberger. Many of fiem will believe he can win from Aldrich, if the latter is the republican candidate. They will vote for him in preference to Shallenberger, or indeed, in prefer ence to their own candidate. They will consider the rest of the state ticket of secondary importance. They will overlook the legislative ticket in their respective di-truts. Thus the county option repi blienns will be able to cc ntrol most of the candidates for the legislature in their own party. Such a situation, according to this sage, would oring m a democratic legislature, favorable to Shallenberger, or what is more probable, a republican county option legislature. Republicans laugh at this fear tf the democrats. They say the assumption is weak on two points. First, that the democrats will be the dominant party in the state this year on the head of the ticket. Second, that Al drich will be the only republican can didate for governor. One hint on this statement is given in the announce ment of Will Ilayward for congress. Mr. Ilayward said last fall when he was dodging all references to his po litical aspirations because he was state chairman, that he would not be a candidate for governor at any time if George Sheldon indicated a desire to measure swords with the den -curat s again. Not more than a month ago it was known that Ilayward was ftithholding his candidacy for con gress because he was viewing the tubernatoiihl field with only Aldrich s a competitor. Since then something Iris changed his mind. Seme say it w;is Rosewf ter. This Ilayward denies over his signiture. Others say he hns received some assurance from Sheldon that he contemplates the political field favorably.
