School Board.
From Saturday lany.
Last evening the republicans of
the city gathered at the office of
Judge Allen J. ltt'fsim in the court
house to liolil their city conven
tion, and there was quite a num
ber of the faithful present, both
of the bull moose anil regular
persuasion, when Dr. E. W. Cook,
as chairman of the city central
committee, called the meeting1 to
order and announced the purpose
of tlie convention. In his remarks
he urged the placing in the field
of a strong ticket. William A.
Robertson was pressed into
service as the secretary of the
convention and both of the gen
tleman were elected as permanent
chairman and secretary of the
convention.
When the main feature of the
performance, that selecting
candidates, was reached, the name
f Henry A. Schneider was pre
sented to the convention, for
mayor, but that gentleman killed
the boom quickly by arising and
declining the honor offered him
and placing in nomination the
nam? of Chester W. Baylor, and
the nomination of Mr. Baylor was
made without a dissenting vote.

leaders of the. party, arose from

gation when the office 'of city clerk
was reached and placo in nominar
lion It. G. Rawls, one of the young
and energetic .'. members , of the
party, for the' office of clerk, and
the nomination. carried with great
enthusiasm. For the office of city
treasurer there "had not. been
much doubt where the lightning
would strike, and(when A. L. Tidd
arose to place the. name of Dr. E.
W. Cook, the present treasurer,
before the. convention there was
little doubt as to' the result of the
nomination. Mr. Tidd explained
to the convention the hopes that
had leen entertained by' the
friends of the schools pf the city
that tlTere would be.no politics
displayed in the selection of the
candidates for the office of mem
bers of the school board and sug
gested that the names of E.'II.

CONVENTION
Fire at Mynard.
From Friday's Dally.
What might have proved to lie
a very disastrous fire was pre
vented by the timely arrival of
neighbors at the residence of
Henry Kaufman, in the south part
of Mynard. In some mysterious
manner fire was started in one of
the bed rooms and before it was
discovered by Mrs. Kaufman it
hail gained considerable headway,
as curtains, bedding and articles
of clothing were all on fire. It
was fortunate that "help was close
by, as a few minutes lorger and
the entire building and contents
would have been destroyed.

CHANGE HANDS AND
OWNERS IN PAST WEEK
During the past week there has
been a change in the ownership
of a number of very valuable
pieces of farming land in this
section of the county, and the fine

faith that is held in the value of
Cass county farming lands by the
farmers and investors in general.
The eighty acres west of this city
on the Cedar Creek road has been
disposed of by the owner. Wash
V. Young, to August Nolting, one

An exchange tiint understands
the advertising question, makes a
good shot in the following words:
"The advertiser, while benefit
ing himself, helps his town. A
town in which the business men
advertise in the newspapers is al
ways a live town. The merchants
who use printer's ink are always
the progressive spirits of the
place, and deserve the patronage
of the community they help sup
port and push forward. Deal with
the business man whose ad

COMPANY TO VISIT PLATTS
MOUTH WEEK OF MAY 10TH
This city is to be visited by a
carnival company this season, and
the amusement-loving public of
the city are anticipating a splen
did treat from the attractions of
fered by the Allmaa Brothers' Big
American shows that will occupy
the date for the second week in
May. Mr. W. E. Kerns, general
agent of the company, was in the
city yesterday looking over the
field and closed the negotiations
with-Messrs. J. E. McDaniel, John
Cory and J. C. York, the com
mittee representing the Improved
Order of Redmen for the appear
ance of the company here. This
is one of the best carnival com
panies on the road today and con
sists of a twenty-car company,
with ten or more attractions and
two splendid free acts, as well as
a band of extra high quality. The
carnival will be located off of the
business streets of the city and
will be able in thi way to put up
the shows in better shape than if
they were placed on the streets.
and the advance man is loud in
his statements as-to the fine
shows that will be brought here
by the company. The proposition
is a mighty good one and the Red
men and the committee should be
encouraged in their efforts to
make the carnival a great suc
cess in every way. .Mr. Kearns,
the advance man. is a very clever
gentleman and if the company is
as good as its representative they
are certainly all right. This com
pany will also appear at Council
Bluffs and South Omaha before
they visit this city. . .
EX-CONGRESSMAN
E. M. POLLARD MAY BE
CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR
The "More or Less Personal"
olumn of the Lincoln Journal of
Thursday contained the follow
ing: Quite a number of repub
licans in Lincoln are wanting to
bring ex-Congressman E. M. Pol
lard of Nehawka out for gov
ernor. They think he would not
only make a clean-cut and ef
fective campaign, but would also
make a forceful and effective
governor. Mr. Pollard has an im
mense pride in the state and
would like to see a number of re
forms effected, especially those
dealing with public finance and
the welfare of the farmers. There
is talk here of drafting him for
the race this year, with the idea
if the two wings of the party can
not be brought together now he
will be in a position to be made
governor without much trouble in
191G.

MATE EX
CELLENT TICKET
Strong Ticket Is Placed in the
Field for the Different
City Offices.
The democrats of Piatt smouth
met in their city convention at
the city hall Saturday evening
and placed in the field one of the
best tickets they hae had for
years. Preceding the convention
the different ward primaries held
their meetings to select their
representatives to the conven
tion and there was a full rep
resentation of the different wards
present when Chairman John
Lutz called the convention to
order, and on motion J. P. Falter
was elected as chairman of the
convention and Frank Smith as
secretary.
On the call for nominations
for the office of mayor of the city,
the Second ward presented to the
convention the name of Mayor
John P. Sattler, who has served
the people of the city so faith
fully and well in that office, and
his nomination was made
unanimous.
For the office of city treasurer
the name of II. M. Soennichsen
was placed before the convention
and received with great en
thusiasm by the delegates and it
was carried without a dissenting
voice.
On the question of city clerk
there were several names dis
cussed, but the honor was finally
conferred upon John. Nemetz, one
of the hustling business men of
the city, and who will be one of
the best men ever nominated for
any office in the city.
On the matter of the members
of the school board the conven
tion was heartily in favor of the
non-partisan plan, as has been
followed in the last few years,
and placed in nomination John
A. Schulhof, the retiring demo-
cratic member of the board, and
endorsed the nomination of E. H.
Wescott, the republican member
of the board retiring. This ac
tion of the two parties speaks
well for the two and their fair
ness in preserving the best in-j
terests of the city school system
from the effects of partisan
politics.
For the office of city engineer
the name of Fred Patterson was
placed before the convention and
the nomination made unan
imously.
The different councilmen nom
inated in the various wards and
precincts were called for and the
following selections ratified by
the convention: First ward. R.
F. Patterson: second ward. Fred
Wagner; Third ward. Frank M.
Bestor; Fourth ward, John Kopp;
Fifth ward, George Klinger, jr.
For the chairman of the city
central committee J. P. Falter
was selected and will guide the
destinies of the party during the
ensuing campaign.
The convention was very
harmonious throughout and
there was a feeling in the meet
ing that the whole ticket was one
that would be carried to victory
at the polls on election day on
April 7th. The Convention was
one of the most harmonious that
has been held in recent years and
the members of the convention
were enthusiastic over the ticket
put in the field that is composed
of good clean men from top to
bottom and one that will guar
antee to the citizens and taxpay
ers of the city a city government
in sympathy to the needs and
wishes of the residents of the
city, regardless of politics. There
is no reason in the world why
any man cannot vote for the
democratic city ticket and feel
that he has done the best pos
sible thing for the welfare of the
city, and that they will register
their approval of the conven
tion's choice at the polls there is
little doubt.
The fact that Mayor Sattler,
who is to be the standard bearer
of the party, was not able to be
present at the convention was
greatly regretted by the dele
gates, but the mayor bail been in
disposed for the pat few day
and was confined to his home.
Annual Congregational Meeting.
The annual congregational
meetinsr of the First Presbyterian
church will be held in the Sabbath
school rooms on Wedneray
evening, March ioth. at Trf.u
o'clock. Reports frr:i all the
societies of the church will be
given and the election of church
and Sabbath scho.d officer will
be held at this time. All mem
bers of the church and congrega
tion are urged to be present.
