I. J. Rosenthal's excellent company is
playing "The Telephone Girl" at the

standing the fact that this is its
fourth visit to Denver, the receipts
will be greater than during any of its
previous engagements. The gross
receiptsjor the week will easily reach

"The Telephone Girl'' that has ever
been given, and the company headed

Fatally Shot While Hunting.
Frank Neuman Jr., the settnteen
year-old son of Councilman Neuman,
was accidently shot witU his own gun
whlle-liuntlnglast Friday afternoon at
3:30 o'clock. Young Neuman had
taken his gun and left home that
afternoon, going across the large sand
bar opposite Main street to shoot
ducks. He had succcded in killing one
duck, and was sitting on a log waiting
for more to come his way. Ills gun
was lying across the log, a.d when an
opportunity for another shot presented
itself the boy reached for the gun and
dragged it toward himself by' ttte
muzzle. The weapon was discharged
in some manner accidental and the
charge of shot entered the boy's body
near his left hip, inflicting a ghastly
and fa'al wound. He called for help
several times, and his shouts finally
attracted the attention of C. A.
Weldcy, who was working at the B.
& M. depot. The wounded boy had
started to walk over to town, but was
rapidly becoming weak from the shock
and loss of blood, and when Weldey
noticed him he had just waved his
hands in the air and called for help
when lie fell forward on the sand.
Weldey immediately went across the
bar to his assistance, and aided him to
the li. & M. depot, where he was
placed in a carriage and brought up
town to Dr. Livingston's office, where
his wound was dressed.'' The physician
examined the wound careTully and
pronounced the injuries fatal, and the
unfortunate lad was conveyed to his
home, where lie died at 4:30 o'clock on
Saturday morning.
The funeral services were held on
Sunday afternoon, and were largely
attended, Rev. Pioetz, of the German
Presbyterian church officiating.

Will Assess at One-Fifth.
The assessors for the different wards
and precincts in Cass county met at
the court house on Tuesday and held
a conference in regard to the basis for
assessment this year. After some
little discussion it wasdecided to assess
all property both real and personal
on a basis of one-fifth of the actua
cash value. Heretofore the basis has
bjen on a third or fourth valuation.
There is considerable foolishness
and rank injustice connected with
fixing the rate at which property is to
be assessed. While the law plainly
s ates that all property must be
assessed at its fair cash valuation, the
assessors meet every year and agree to
violate the law, and in many cases they
next proceed to violate their agree
ment. The result is that some
precincts are assesed on a basis of one
third and others on a basis of one-six
actual valuation. It is a notorious
fact that real estate in Plattsmouth
city is assessed at a fourth valuation
while farming laud throughout the
county is assessed at a sixth, thus im
posing an unequal and unjust share of
the burden upon the tax-payers of the
city. -
The agreement among the assessors
to assess ail property at one-fifth
valuation will have a serious and
disastrous resulton tberevenuesof the
city of Plattsmouth, and means that
the city will -be crippled financially
and will be unable to raise sufficient
revenue to meet obligations without
radical retrenchment of expenses.

a matter of choice. And now that he
has consented to become a candidate
for mayor it is not only the privilege
but the imperative duty of every
citizen and tax-payer who has the
interests of the city at heart to cast a
vote for him on election day. There
is not a single tenable objection that
can be urged against Frank Morgan
as a candidate for mayor. It will be
conceded by everyone that a more
competent and suitable man to till the
office of mayor could not have been
chosen. He is a man possessed of busi
ness ability and judgment, combined
with energy and integrity. The office
of mayor is hot a desirable position.
Tbe duties are not always pleasant,
and the reward meagre and of small
importance. When a man of Frank
Morgan's ability and qualifications
consents to accept the office the people
have but one plain duty to perform
to vote for him.
The candidate for treasurer, Dr. E.
W. Cook, has tilled the office for two
terms to the satisfaction or tbe public
His re-election is assured.
W. K. Fox, candidate for clerk,
received the nomination and endorse
ment from the committees in recogni
tion of his faithful and competent
services in conducting the affairs of
the office during the past. Hisgeneral
acquaintance with city affairs and his
years of experience in the office are
more valuable to the city than would
be the services of any other man in
the office. His re-election would be
an economical and prudent business
move on the part of our citizens.
Tbe candidate for police Judge. 31.
Archer, is a selection, that is recooizet
tne capacity of assessor, and his
services will be just as through in the
council. lie is a first class man for
the place, as the voters of the fourth
ward know.
In general, the candidates presented
by the citizens' ticket are in every
case men who are worthy of the
suffragesof the voters of Plattsmouth,
without regard to party or political
affiliations. A citizens' ticket in
Plattsmouth is in the nature of an
experiment, and but one object is
sought to be attained the selection
of competent and suitable men to
transact the business affairs of the
city. The elimination of politics with
the attendant evil influences, is also
a feature of the movement. No politi
cal principles are involved in the
present city election, and in tbe
selection of candidates it can be said
to tbe credit of the committees that
they have acted without the least
regard for party, and the voters on
election day should follow their good
example and endorse all the candidates
on the citizens' ticket by a rousing
majority.

Brief Bits of City Politics.
The man with the petition has been
much in evidence the past few days,
and the voters have been importuned
to sign petitions for candidates for all
tbe offices to be filled at the coming
election. It requires the signature
of 250 legal voters to get a candidate's
name on tbe official billot for city
bfflces, and 5J signatures for members
of the council. As a general rule
signatures were easily obtained, people
signing every petition presented, thus
allowing everyone who so desires to
become a candidate.
The socialists met in mass conven
tion at their hall in the Drew build
ing last Thursday night and nomi
nated candidates for city offices, as
follows: Mayor, Chris Cbristenson:
clerk, Anton Carlson; treasurer, Law
rence Liner; police Judge, Frank Eck-
iey; school board, Claude Butler and
George McCavigan; counciimen first
ward, Charles Martin; second ward,
Michael Bajeck; third ward. J. T. Is-
ner; fourth ward, Emil Ratke; fifth
ward, Ole Roman.
Robert Hayes, whose term as council
man from tbe third ward expires this
year, will be a candidate for re-election,
and his name will appear on tbe ballot
by petition.
John Lutz, councilman from the
fifth ward and president of the city
council, is a full fledged candidate for
mayor. As a general proposition John
sail right in both business and politics,
but under present circumstances be
will not do at all. He has been brought
forward as a candidate by tbe poll
ticians as a "rebuke" to the methods
adopted in nominating the citizens'
ticket. Tbe people of Plattsmouth
have not forgotten tbe awful pair of
bacJc eyes tbe city received at tbe
The boys who have heretofore done
the line work In city politics, at the
primaries and conventions and at the
polls, are very much "fernist" the
citizens' ticket. The new order of
things political completely cuts off
their chances for "graft."
Melchoir Soennichsen has been pre
vailed upon to become a candidate for
city clerk, and bis petition has been
signed by tbe requried 2S0 voters and
duly filled with the city clerk. That
he will receive a large vote is conceded.
Melchoir enjoys a deserved popularity,
and bad he desired it, and made such
desire known, he could have bad the
nomination for clerk on the citizens'
ticket.
James Iligley, who was selected as
the candidate for councilman in the
fifth ward on the citizens' ticket, has
declined to make the race, and Ed S.
Barker has become a candidate.
