resident of this city.
.Mr. Patton was one of the
veteran employes f the Burling
ton railroad in this city, having
entered tin- service of thai com
pany some thirty-three years ago.
and duriiier all these years had
leen a faithful and trusted em
ployee until the portress of his
malady made it necessary for him
to abandon his duties and since
that time he had lived quietly at
home, awaiting the summons of
the .Master from his suffering and
sickness. lie was afflicted with
dropsy some years aero and his
condition had steadily pi own
worse until death mercifully re
lieved him.
The death of this kindly old
gentleman, who had passed his
seventieth milestone last April,
wiil cause a feel ins-f deep re
gret, anions the many friends with
whom he had leen associated d ur
ine: his long residence here, anil
his place will lie hard to till in the
hearts of those who knew him
best, and to the bereaved wife,
children and brother and sisters'
the deepest sympathy of the com
munity will lie extended in their
loss, hut they will have the
memory of his lout: and useful
life jo sustain them in their hour
of grief and sorrow. Besides the
widow there are the following
children to mourn the loss of the
father: I.. L. Patton. L. M. Pnt

Bell. Provvnwood. Texas, are left
fo share the grief of the taking
away of their In loved brother.
The funeral services of Mr.
Patton were held this afternoon at
i o'clock from the late home,
owing to the fact that it was
thought best not to delay the in
terment on account of the loner
illness which had preceded the
death. The services were short
and simple and were attended by a
large number of the employes of
the Burlington shops, while the
pall-hearers were selected from
Ilie emploves of the paint shop,
where Mr. Patton had been so loner
employed.

The Sons of Herman of this

took steps to aid their kindred ami
former countrymen in (Jerinany

Throughout the country the dif
ferent Jerinan-Ainerican so

in eariner for the wounded and
the families of the soldiers who
are left behind or who sutler the
loss of husbands and fathers on
the battlefields of Eurie, ami the

proper feeliner of charity and
benevolence toward their unfor
tunate kinsmen in the Fatherland.
In addition to the subscription
made by (he lodge it is expected
to prepare lists for those who de

leave them at the different stores
where they can be found by any
one who desires to add their mite
to the cause of the Red Cross so
ciety that will take up the work
of aiding the victims of the war.
There are a large number of
wealthy (Jermans, as well as many
Americans in this county who will
join in the movement to afford aid
and comfort to the injured and
helpless victims of the war. While
the sum donated by the lodge is
not large, it represents a feeling
that . is deserving of the highest
commendation and shows the feel
ing of fraternity among the mem
bers of the Teutonic race which is
now beset by their foes in Europe.

Slight Rainfall Here.
From Wednesday's Dailv.
Last evening about 8 o'clock tin
western sky was obscured by large
banks of clouds that seemed to
portend a generous rainfall, and
ihis fact caused a general rejoic
ing, but the result did not justify
their hopes, as the rain, when it
came, was very slight, but served
in laying the du.-l, as well as
cooling oil" the intense heat which
had prevailed up to that time
throughout this section. This
morning another slight rainfall
came to freshen the atmosphere,
but the weather condition seems
to remain decidedly humid.

PRIMARY ELEC
TION RETURNS
INCOMPLETE
Governor Morehead Carries the
County by 3G0, Libershall has
Good Majority, also Wun
derlich for Sheriff.
The loner and complicated bal
lots at the primary election yes
terday made the count a most
difficult one for the judges and
clerks of election in the different
precincts of the county, and the
returns were very slow in com
ing in to the tiff ice of the county
clerk. On the democratic ticket
in all precincts of the county so
far reported (Governor Morehead
has a large lead over George W.
Beige, his leading opponent, ami
will have between three and four
hundred majority in the county.
Congressman Maguiro showed
strength in the county over V.
J. Price, his opponent, and will
iave close to 200 majority. The
hottest tight of the campaign was
iver the countv clerkship in
which County Clerk Libershal ap
pears to be the winner by a ma
jority of between 125 and 150. Be
carried this city by 120, while in
the western part of the county
B. !.,WurI was the recipient of
quite a heavy vote, but not suffi
cient to cover the majorities in the
eastern part of the county. In the
race for sheriff John Wundt-r-lich
of Nehawka appears to be the
nominee by a large majority over
William Dowd. his opponent,- as
he carried almost all the precincts
in the eastern and central por
tions of the county anil his ma
jority will be iii the neighborhood
of 200 in the county, fn Salt
Creek, the home or Mr. Dowd, the
candidate received 71 to 1 for
Wunderlich. County Superin
tendent Mary I. Foster received a
handsome and well-deserved vote
throughout the county and is an
easy winner for the office. J. B.
llungate, candidate for state sen
ator, received quite a large vote
in the county, but John Mattes has
apparently swept everything in
Otoe county and will undoubtedly
gain the nomination by a very
heavy vote. In Plattsmouth city
Mattes received a large majority
of the votes cast. County Treas
urer Fox and Register of Deeds
Snyder had no opposition for
their re-nomination.
Republican Results in County.
On the republican ticket the
chief interest centered in the race
race for- congressman and Mat
thew (lering ttf this city will have
300 majority in the county for
the office. In this city he swept
the slate clean receiving 107
votes while his ,opponents were
unable to muster over i0 votes
between them. Reports from out
in the district appear quite favor
able to Mr. (lering as he is run
ning strong in every counts' and
his nomination seems quite likely.
For governor Kemp leads the
other republican candidates ami
will from all indications carry the
county over both Howell and
Hammond. Sheriff Quinton has a
safe lead over both Cunningham
ami Reed, ami will be re-nominated
by a majority of at least 200.
For county clerk the two young
men, John Creamer anil A. L.
Anderson, both gave a good race,
but the indications point to the
nomination of Creamer by a small
majority. The remainder of the
republican candidates were with
out opposition and will have clear
sailing as far as I he primary
fight is concerned.
On the non-partisan judgship
Judge Begley has no opposition
for district judge and on the
county judgeship Judge Beeson
and Attorney C. L. Craves of
Union both win and will have their
names placed on the ballot at the
November election.
Seems to Look Like Revis.
Lincoln, Neb., 2:15 P. M.
Special to the Evening Journal.
Reports from the First congres
sional district on the republican
vote for congressman are coming
in quite slowly and the exact
figures on the result cannot be
told at. this time. A report from
Falls City states that C. F. Revis
carried Richardson county by
J, 100, which, if true, would prob
ably give him the nomination.
Matthew Coring ran strong in
Lancaster county, which was car
ried by Frank Edgerton by a small
majority.
v Later Returns.
The result of the primary elec
tion in this county remains about
the same as stated in the Journal
yesterday, and the fact that sev
eral precinct oltieials neglected to
bring in a statement of the vote
cast there it will be necessary to
await the lindiner of the canvass
ing board for the full vote of the
county, on the democratic ticket
Congressman Maguiro received
the largest majority, receiv
ing 87.'t voles and V. B. Price 251,
with three precincts missing.
Covernor Morehead ran strong
in the county, having a majority
of i'3. He received 753 'votes,
Berge -jco and Metcalfe 110. In
the race for state senator Mattes
received 5 55 and H ungate 501,
iving llungate a majority of 10
in. the county, but returns from
the three remaining precincts will
probably channe the result, and as
Mr. Mattes has a large majority in
Otoe county he will secure the
nomination.
For the ollico of state rep
resentative M. (J. Kinie received
4-50. J. J. (Justin .18 and H. V.
McDonald 2 IS. which gives the
plurality of Kinie at 02, but this
will probably be changed by later
esults.
In the race for county clerk.
Frank J. Liber.shal has won by a
handsome majority of 237, hav
ing received 7 5 2 voles to 505 for
B. (1. Wurl, his opponent. For
the office of sherilf John Wiiii-
lerlich of Nehawka receives the
nomination bv a vote of 0l4 to
102 for William Dowd of (ireen-
wtioii. giving a majority of 32
for Wunderlich.
Miss Mary Foster v.-as the win
lor in the race for county super
intendent by some 230 over J.1L
Slothovver of Klmwood, receiving
0!i votes to i5S for her opponent.
In the race for county comniis
ioner in the third district Henry
Snoke of Eagle has apparently
succeeded in securing the nomin
ation as he now has 175 votes to
118 for his nearest opponent, C.
R. Jordon of Alvo, the present in
cumbent of the office.
Republican Results.
In the republican contest for
governor, with live precincts out,
Howell leads the race, having 23i
votes to 193 for Hammond and
118 for Kemp, while a small scat
tering vote was given the re
mainder of the candidates for the
office.
J. M. Teegarden of Weeping
Water, candidate for state treas
urer, received a very pleasing vole
here in his home county, getting
521, while llamer was only able
to must er 05.
The congressional battle, with
nine candidates to select from,
resulted in a good plurality for
Matthew (iering of this city, who
received 33G: Marshall, 97; Ken
nedy, 13; Dalzell, 37; Reavis, 90;
Ly forth 30; Anno?, 79; Edgerton,
18, and Tobey 43.
For the office of county clerk it
seems that John M. Creamer of
Wabash will ho the standard
bearer, as ho received 4 17 voles
to 302 for A. L. Andrews of Union.
In the race for the ollico of
sheriff, Quinton was an easy win
ner, receiving 171 votes to 152 for
Cunningham and 187 for Reed.
Both of the opponents of Sheriff
Quinton received! handsome votes
in their respective precincts, but
the county as a whole was swept
by the sherifT.
For county superintendent Miss
Eda Marquardt of Avoca was the
winner of the nomination, as she
received 450 votes to 190 for A. L.
Ciash of Louisville, her opponent,
and will make the race this fall
against Miss Foster.
County Attorney Taylor had no
opposition on the republican
ticket and received a large num
ber of democratic votes, as did
also C. S. Aldrieh of Kim wood, but
as to who received a majority of
the democratic voles it remains to
be disclosed by the ofiicial can
vass. Both County Treasurer Fo and
Major Hall, the candidates on the
democratic and republican tickets
for county treasurer, had no op
position and rested easy during
the primary, and in the same boat
were A. J. Snvtb'i- and Mont Robb.
the candidates for register of
deeds.
A. F. Sturm for state senator
and C. E. pool for representative
on the republican ticket and F. L.
Nutzman for float representative
were unopposed at the primary.
YV. II. Puis, fornn-r stale rep
resentative from this county, r-
ceivt'd the democratic nomination
for the office of float represent
ative without opposition.
All reports on the republican
congressional fight points to the
nomination of C. F. Reavis of
Falls City as the republican can
didate for that position at the No
vember election, although the re
port as to his having received
1,100 majority in Richardson
eouniy appears to have been un
founded. THE ALAMITOS OF
OMAHA CROSS BATS WITH
THE RED SOX SUNDAY
Sunday next the Alamitos of
Omaha will be here to take on the
Red Sox for a game at the local
ball park, and a most interest con
test is looked forward to by the
fans. The Alamitos were bore
earlier in the season ami succeed
ed in winning from the locals, as
they have speed and class in their
playing, but the Sox are confident
now that they will be able to win
from the visitors, having had
much success in the last few
contests in which they have been
engaged. The trip to Manb-y, up
on which the management of tin
ball team was planning, has been
postponed for a week, as it was
not sufficient lime to secure the
necessary means of transporta
tion, and it will be necessary to
advertise the trip so that all who
desire may accompany the boys
to that place. The Manley man
agement has promised a record
breaking crowd for the occasion if
the Sox are able to go out there.
