Wesley Hookrneyer will shortly open up an up-to-date confec tionery store the first door west of the Journal ofliee. The build ing is being placed in readiness by having the ceilings decorated, the walls papered ami the wood work nicely painted. Already a large and expensive soda fountain has h i placed in the building. The front will he newly painted, and Mr. Hookrneyer will open one of the swellesl ice cream parlors in the city. We are glad to see ex-Councilman Hookmeyer enter business on the street under such propitious circumstances, and we have no doubt but he will get his share of the trade, for we know him to be an energetic, honnrahU gentleman, with a large following or friends, and his easy manner and winning smile will be sure to hi ing others. FOR SHERIFF. I hereby announce by self as a candidate for the nomination for the office of sheriff of Cass county, Ne braska, subject to the decision of the voters at the coming primary elec tion. I ask the voters to place me in nomination on the democratic ticket. G. P. Barton, Union, Neb. DRUGGISTS WILL NOT PAY ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS Council Has Gone Too Far With Them and Not Far Enough With Standard Oil Co. II is a foregone conclusion that the druggists of this city will not pay .100 for a permit- to sell liquor f'r medicinal purposes. They have so declared. We be lieve the council made just as grave a mistake in. raising the permit fees as they did in lower nig the occupation tav of the Standard Oil company, if not more so. people are wondering what has come over the members' of the council that they would permit such injustices to go on right under their very noses. The interest that that august body took in I he removal of card tables from cigar stores, pool halls ami saloons was all uncall ed for, and much complaint is raised agains this action.' We have never heard of any harm re sulting from this pleasure, and we have never heard any com plaint registered except in one instance, and that could have been easily remedied by refusing this one a license. It is not proper nor right lo make all suffer for the. evil-doing of one. We believe the council went too far in this matter, but we are pleased to note that every saloon and pool hall is complying with the demands of the city dads. Our saloon men are noted for their compliance with the laws and we reiterate that no town, we don't care in vhat stale located, has heller regulated and' more orderly saloons than Plallsmoulh, and this fact, at least, should have been considered by those oT the council who are persistent in keeping up a turmoil and then stand on the street corners and laugh about what they did "to make people happy."

That said original section of Cobhley's Annotated Statutes as the same now exists, is hereby repealed. Section 3. Whereas an emer gency exists, this act shall be in eect from ami after its passage and approval. J. H. Newlln and Family Here. From FrltUy' Itally. Mr. J. H.

FO A FEW SUGGESTIONS AS HOW TO PREVENT FIRES Never Allow Waste Paper to Ac cumulate and Keep Your Premises Clean. It is an old maxim, that lire is a good servant, but a hard master. Shakespeare wrote: "A little lire is quickly trodden out; which be ing suffered, rivers . cannot quench." Fires are the result of accident, spontaneous combustion or de sign, if they have been ac cidental, the cause can generally be discovered ami it will be found they might have been prevented. If Hit! following precautions are followed, tires from accident and spontaneous combust ion will seldom occur. Keep your house, store or factory clean. Neer allow paper, rags, ct rubbish, such as twehs, old clot lies, boxes, closets clc, to accumulate in and unusuetl rooms. Never till the coal oil lamps after dark or near an open lire. -Never run the stovepipe through a wooden partition or the roof without proper protection. Never allow your furnace, steam or hot water pipes to come in contact with the woodwork of the building. Never put up gas brackets or electric lights so they can be swung against the wooden cas ings or immediately under cur tains. Never put, nshes in a wooden receptacle on or about the premises. Never keep matches in other than metal or earthen safes; and never throw one on the floor, lit or unlit. Never allow smoking in close proximity to inflammable, mer chandise. Never take an unprotected light, to inspect a gas meter or closet. Never read in bed by candle or lamp light. Never close up your place of business without llrst. going over it carefully to see that all tires ami lights are out. or safe. Always have buckets or barrels of salt water near at hand to ex tinguish a lire in its infancy. The more salt in the water, the more efficient,.
