CANDIDATES IN A MUDDLE
Nebraska City Without a Candidate for
Office on Account of Not Filing
in Due Time
A special from Nebraska City says:
"The city finds itself in a pretty pick
le by reason of both city conventions
being called too late to enable the of
ficers to file their nominations with
the city clerk in time to comply with
the law. Both parties, democratic
and republican, held their conventions
on the same day and each nominated
their candidates for councilmeu and
members of the board of education.
The democrats filed their nominations
on March 20 with the city clerk and
the republicans filed theirs on March
"Elmer Ingram wanted to run tor
councilman in the First ward by pe
tition and preparedthe necessary docu
ment and filed it with the city clerk,
and the contesting of this petition
brought out the fact that none of the
party nominations had been made and
filed in time to comply with the law.
The law requires that all nominations
be filed with the city clerk fifteen days
prior to the day of election and neith
er party had done this. So it leaves
the city without any candidates for
office at the election called properly
for next Tuesday.
"The petition of Elmer Ingram has
been declared illegal because he failed
to comply with the law. The city
clerk has appealed to the city attorney
as to what to do and the latter is of
the opinion that the clerk will have
to prepare a blank ballot and on elec
tion day each voter can go to the polls
and vote for whom he pleases by writ
ing his name on the ballot and voting
it the same as he would a printed bal
lot. "This is the first time this has ever
occurred in this city and it will be a
lesson to the party leaders who had
the matter in charge and in the future
all city conventions will be called ear
lier and the nominations filed prompt
ly. If a blank ballot is prepared theie
is liable to be a host of candidates
about the polls on election day solici
ting votes so as to enable them to get
their names on the ticket a sufficient
number of times to be elected and serve
the people for two years."

SUCCUMBS TO INJURIES
Andy Bane, Prominent Farmer Residing
Across the River, Passed Away.
SKULL FRACTURED BY FALLING TREE
Accident Occurred About Three Weeks
Ago Operation Performed Monday
to Remove Portion of Skull.
Andy Bane, a well known farmer re
siding just across the river in Mills
county,Ia., who sustained a badly frac
tured skull while felling trees, about
three weeks ago, has succombed to his
injuries, the end coining about 10
o'clock this (Wednesday) morning.
At the time of the accident, which
occurred while the deceased man was
engaged with a force of men cutting
trees near his place, a mile from the
ferry, Bane was struck on the head
and rendered unconscious for several
hours. After being conveyed home
and having his injuries dressed by Dr.
Bacon of Pacific Junction, toe patienu
recovered somewhat, but was not able
to be about the house. The skull had'
sustained a bad fracture, and he had
lost considerable blood, but still the
Dhvsician in attendance entertained
hopes of the patient's recovery. A
few days ago Mr. Bane undertook to
walk to a neighbors, and the exertion
on the hot day, brought on a reaction.
It was found necessary to summon
Dr. Bacon acain to dress the wound,
which had been reopened, and after
consultation with Drs. T. P. and J.
S. Livingston of this city, it was de
cided that an operation to remove the
piece of broken skull should ue per
formed. The operation, which was
made by the above named doctors,
was performed Monday night.
The deceased man was about sisty
years of age, and besides a wife, leaves
six children to mourn his demise. For
many years he , has resided in this vi
ctnitj and is well known in Cass coun
ty, where he was a frequent visitor.
The funeral will likely be held from
the Bethlem church, Friday after
noon, the services being conducted by
Rev. Ilouk, and interment being made
in the cemetery east of Ilenton station.

Chicken Thieves Busy Again.
It seems that chicken thieves are
again applying their avocation in the
suburbs of the city. Several families
have been missing some of their favor
ite hens in the past few days. The
cheekiest act yet was that of a few
nights since. A family in the south
part of town was keeping eight hens
for the eggs. Every morning eight
eggs were taken from the nests, which
was all that was necessary for home
use. The lady of the house went out
on her usual rounds the other morn
ing to gather in the "hen fruit," when
lo, and behold, the nests were empty,
and not one of the faithful hens could
be seen on the premises. They had
been stolen the night before. The
devil will never get his own until he
lands this thief in the hottest corner
of hades.

HOSIERY
A MARKET AND SALES DAY
Now is the Proper Time to Move in the
Direction by All Interested
Since the little article in reference
to this matter appeared in yesterday's
issue, a number of business men have
approached us on the subject. After
the Journal man had given his idea as
to how such things shouid be manag
ed, they gave us to understand that
they would givo reasonable support to
the enterprise.
The idea of such sales and market
days Is simply this: A farmer has a
horse, a cow, or other articles he de
sires to dispose of, he has the privilege
of bringing them in on those days to
have them sold at public auction,
where one or two auctioneers will be
provided to do the selling. There is
no farmer but who occasionally finds
something on the farm that he does
not need, and wants to dispose of and
such occasion alTords the opportunity
to do so.
The farmers, as a general thing, de
mand something of this kind; they
will get in the habit of coming to town
on such occasions. In fact, when
these days become well established,
farmers from a distance will make a
practice of coming here also on mark
et and sales day. It will advertise our
city abroad, and bring trade to our
merchants that would not otherwise
come to Plattsmouth.
This also, will be an occasion for our
merchants to make special bargain
sales, which is calculated to bring In
many who desire to take advantage of
the bargains offered in all lines of mer
chandise. We are informed that one of our
auctioneers is ready to take the matter
up and do all in his power for the suc
cess of the enterprise, but he does not
desire to take the responsibillity en
tirely upon his own shoulders. He is
satisfied that it can be made a great
success, with the help of all who
should be interested in the enterprise.
It is the intention to have these
sales every other woek during the
summer and fall, and possibly Into the
winter. It will cost each businessman
but a small amount to assist in the
inauguration of these events, which
the Journal thinks will do mor.? good
for the business interests of I'latts
mouth than anything that can bo done.
L?t us get together on this matter
and start off with a grand, ga'a inaug
uration dav.
