IN SERIOUS CONDITION from Wednesdays Oally. Miss Helen Gilnioie of Murray, who has been at the hopital in Om aha for the past two weeks suffer ing from a very severe case of pneu monia, is still in very serious condi tion and the patient is suffering a second attack of pneumonia, as both lungs have now become affect ed and her condition is now at its most serious stake and her condition very critical. House of Kuppenheimer Clothes CITY ELECTION IS RAPIDLY DRAWING NEAR TO BE OR NOT TO BE CANDIDATE IS PROBLEM FACING MANY AT PRESENT TIME. NO ACTIVE CANDIDATES NOTED And It Seems It Will be a Case the Offices Seeking the Men Rather Than Reverse. of From Wednesday's Dally. In a very few weeks the citizens of Plattsmouth will be called upon to once more select a city govern ment for their use for the twelfth months and who this government will be composed of is a matter of doubt and while a number of candi dates have been suggested, there has been none who cared to boldly dash their skypiece into the political rins: to be made the target of their opponents. Ma vor Henrv A. Schneider, who has filled two years in the chair ot the chief executive of the city is not in the mood to carry the burden of office longer and is now ready to eniov a rest after the two years of thankless serving in the jo!. roi the position of mayor a numner o i..4ines have been suggested ly lriends of candidates but the politi .al sossin has failed to smoke out any of the candidates into a declara tion of their desires or intentions Two of the retiring councilmen. C A. Johnpon. democrat, and Frank Hutterv. republican. and both of whom have had a great deal of e oerience in the city government have been suggested as possibilities in the race, while the lightning had al been flashing around the brad ol former Mavor John P. Sattler. who like Mr. Buttery has been identified with the city government for a loi period of time. On the republicar side the name of John F. Gorder has been frequently suggested as a pos sibility in the race, although Mr Gorder has a dislike to the political game but some of his friends think that he might be induced to take the position. Frank M. Bestor, who was defeated two years ago on the democratic ticket, is alo being plae ed as among those on whom tiie tion might be thrust. The possibility of a third ticket has been rumored among those who are noliticallv wise and as the head of this organization Attorney. A. I. Tidd has been most prominently named as the candidate and how tar this move will materialize remains to be seen in the next few weeks that will bring out the party conventions For the treasuryship the senti inent as to opposition to Mr. Soen nichsen seems mil and his bold on the office seems to be that merely of his own desire. For the city clerkship. I?. A. Mc Flwain. the present occupant, will be a candidate for re-election to t lie office and the name of Elmer A . -..rrri;hi!013 I I -' M j I . 7 Webb as a candidate for the repub lican nomination is also considered. On the democratic side of the house a number of the friends of Edwin Fricke have been urging hia name, but whether or not he would con sider the proposition is a matter of doubt. The councilmen retiring this year are It. F. Patterson of the first ward who is completing eight years of ser vice and he states that the "finis" has been written on his career in the council; Frank F. Buttery, who un lessi he is chosen for a higher posi tion will probably be returned to represent his ward; L. G. Larson is the member retiring from the third ward and whether he is a candidate or not depends largely on circum stances. ('. A. Johnson retires in the fourth ward and is also on the undecided list as to whether or not the fields of retirement do not look very alluring after his time spent serving the interests of the people. In the fifth. Robert Harris, who has held the fort there for the past six years is up for re-election but states that he has suffered about as much as he cares for the large salary of $100 a year.

Dovey. tfd A FAREWELL PLUNGE MADE TO SAVE COLE ATTORNEYS SEEK REVIEW EE FORE STATE SUPREME COURT. HOPE TO STAY EXECUTION Start Proceeding in Howard County as Only Avenue for Hearing Before Higher Court. From Wednesday's Dally. Attorneys for Alson II. Cole are today filing in Howard county coram nobis proceedings with a view of ob taining for the condemned murderer n new trial or review before the su preme court. This is supposed to be the one last legal procedure referred to in a tccent promise made by the attorneys, to the governor. The final ' move has the legal appearance of an octopus. It is not an attempt to com mutation alone but strikes back at the so-called legality of the original sentence and seek to have that set aside through court procedure. ' Many legal questions are raised. The procedure, in short, apparently con- ' templates the re-opening of two channels, the state courts and the federal court with the hope of reach- ; ing the United States supreme court through either channel. ! The attorneys contend that on March 2S. 1917. when the jury ren dered a verdict in the trial court. Judge Payne called Judge Wall, then attorney for Cole, on the phone and asked if he would not file a motion , for re-hearing. Judge Wall is said . to have answered that he was j through with the care. I Cole Not Advised. It is chiniod that Judge Payne did not wait tluee days as lequired by law under such circumstances to pro nounce sentence but pronounced it two days after the return by ' the jury. He did not advise Cole as he advised the hitter's attorney who washed his hands of the caie. The condemned, it is alleged in filing, had no knoweldge of the necessary steps to be taken. lie was not told that his attorney had dropped Ur ease. In short, he was not accorded the protection which the law gives to a minor who is without legal ad vice. He was then in his 20th year. It is further allaged that ColcV case has never been reviewed by the supreme court and that under the present status of the case, there is no legal method to bring it before that court. When Cole's attorneys applied to the supreme court for a writ of habeas corpus, the writ was denied because among other reasons, the attorneys brought no bill of ex ceptions, it is claimed. Attorneys for Cole contended that there was no such bill to bring since no appli cation was filed in Howard county for a new trial. Section 9130 given considerable mention during the several unsuc cessful attempts on Cole's behalf, is again forced into the limelight. Un der this section, the trial court is required to take testimony and ex amine witnesses in a murder trial. Under the Common Law. This final procedure is under the common law. It is the initial step toward attempting to bring the rec ord of the case before the supreme court. The following federal ques tions, raised in a number of prior proceedings, again are presented; That the trial court did not comply with the provisions of section 9130 Mr. C. H. Sage and Mr. G. E. Weidman have consolidated their in terests and are now in a position to give that high-class competent, efficient TIRE SERVICE you have been looking for. age & North It Will "I've made a Discovery It's taken a long while to do it but I'm going to save some real money now.
