Wilson, who resides south cf this city, has just perfected a very handy and useful household article in the form of a collander that is adapted to all kinds of work in the preserving or canning of fruit or vegetables and in fact is an arti cle that should be in every house hold. The collander is simple in con struction, only four parts entering into it. The Wilson collander cer tainly is something that should be in every home and especially In the farm home or where there Is any large amount of vegetables or fruit to be handled. The first of the new patented collanders has "been receiv ed and the patentee is anxious to se cure some suitable agents who can place the handy household article in die hands of the people of Cass coun ty. Mrs. Wilson has devoted some thirty years to work in the line of farm household labor and from this she has gathered the inspiration for this device to save time and expense in caring for many of the household duties. The most exquisite line of birth day and gift cards to be found any where 1 At Journal office. UNDERGOES OPERATION From Thursday's Daif. Raymond Smith, ron of Mr. and Mrs. H. V. Smith of this city, was operated on yesterday at the hos pital in Omaha to give him relief from an affliction sustained a year ago ana wnicn nas caused a ais placement of the spine. The opera tion was very successful and the pa tient is reported as doing very nice ly, but will have to remain in a cast for the next four or five weeks at the hospital. ARE CANDIDATES OUT OFTHE RACE? Progressives Who Won but Lost the Nomination They Sought, May he Named to Fill Vacancy If W. J. Taylor is to be permitted to inject a little fireworks Into the state campaign this fall, he will have to do it as the appointed can didate for governor of the progres sive party state committee. Secre tary of State Amsberry has declined to issue a certificate of nomination to Mr. Taylor as a candidate for gov ernor on the progressive party pri mary ballot. That is settled. The secretary of state is one member of the state board of canvassers and it is his duty to issue certificates of nomination to the proper persons. Mr. Amsberry refuses in Mr. Tay lor's case on the ground that Taylor was not high man in the progressive party primary. Norton was high man but is prevented by law from accept ing the nomination because he lost the democratic nomination and did not receive more progressive votes than democratic votes. "No candidate defeated at the primary election shall be per mitted to file by petition in the general election next follow ing." This is the law of 1917. This act, it is generally believed by attorneys does not prevent the progressive party committee from naming Mr. Taylor as a candidate for governor to fill a vacancy. In Cass county, where a vacancy exists for the of fice of. sheriff in the progressive ranks, it is also declared the same would hold good. There having been no nomination at the primary, the committee has power to fill the vacancy. The men thus chosen would not be filing their names as candidates by petition. The petition method means run ning as a candidate by petition and without the right to use any polit ical party designation in connection with the appearance of one's name upon the ballot. "By petition" are the words following the name of a candidate who files for nomination by petition at the general election. The secretary of state has decided that he cannot issue certificates of nomination to Edgar Howard, who was nominated on the prohibition ticket for congress because one voter wrote his name in on the primary ballot. He has also declined to cer tify that B. K. Bushee of Kimball is the democratic nominee for state senator as a result of the writing in of his name upon the ballot. Mr. Bushee is a republican and Mr. How ard is a democrat, not a prohibi tionist. LOVES VALUABLE TREAS URE THRU CONFIDENCE One of the young men of the city a few days ago prepared himself a case of bottled delicacies consisting of a small amount of hops, yeast and malt, all carefully compounded and with which the young man anticipat ed having a good time at some fu ture date. In a moment of confidence he im parted the information to some of his friends that he had the case all ready for the ice and the result was that when he hastened to the place of its concealment to get a few bot tles for hi3 own pleasure, he found the case as devoid of bottles as old Mother Hubbard's cupboard had been of bones. The maker of the malt tonic vows that the next time he lets anyone in on any more se crets it is going to be a dryer day than old man Volstead ever dream ed about. SHOWS SOME IMPROVEMENT From Friday' Dally. Mrs. H. W. Smith, who has been at Omaha at the bedside of her son, Raymond, at the Carkson hospital, returned home this morning and re ports the young man as being some better, altho he has been very poor ly the last two days following his operation and the placing of his hip in a cast. The condition of Raymond Wednesday and Tuesday night was very worrying to the parents, but he is now thought to be improving. DEMO.

A directory of the city of Platts irouth for the year 1SS1 has come into the possession of George B. Mann of the Journal, and to the younger residents of the city the book is cer tainly a revelation and to those who are still here that were residents of the city at the time the directory was printed it is a reminder of old times. We note among other things in the directory that the Burlington had just completed a large steel bridge over the Missouri river 2.934 feet in length and which has since been replaced by the present struct ure. E. G. Dovey &. Son were conduct ing an extensive pork packing es tablishment in connection with their store in the city. Guthmann Brothers were just completing a fine brick hotel on lower Main street, containing fifty rooms and which was to be named in honor of C. E. Perkins of the Burlington railroad. In the Plattsmouth schools at that time there were eleven teachers era- ployed, 1.267 children of school age in the city and S12 enrolled. The expense of the teaching force for the year was $4,455 and the other expense of the school management was 52.177.18. The school board consisted of V. V. Leonard, presi dent; William Wintersteen, Isaac Wiles, J. N. Wise, E. S. Greusel and Thomas Pollock, secretary. The city was governed by John O'Rourke as mayor, J. D. Simpson as clerk and J. M. Patterson treas urer. R. Vivian was the police judge and R. B. Windham the city attorney, while M. W. Morgan was chief of police, II. Miller, street com missioner and P. E. White, now sec retary rf the Masonic Grand lodge of Nebraska, was chief of the fire de partment. In glancing over the list of men who were a part of the ma chinery of cLril government in the city at that time the only one who is still living is Mr. White. The Plattsmouth board of trade. which was organized in 1880. had as its head D. H. Wheeler, with Jesse B. Strode, now of Lincoln, as the sec- retarv. On the board of directors were M. L. White. J. W. Johnson, P. E. White, Fred Gorder, P. R. Guthman. A. W. McLaughlin and J. M. Patterson. The ads in the directory would be unfamiliar te one not acquainted with the early history of the city and that of Wescott's clothing store is the only one familiar to the present residents of the city. The Plattsmouth bar at that time had many distinguished members in its list. Samuel M. Chapman, who was at that time associated with W. N. McLennon headed the list. Mr. McLennon, it will be remembered. a few weeks ago was killed near Alvo in the Rock Island wreck, he having years ago gave tip the law for railroading. M. A. Hartigan. later of Hastings, J. S. Matthews, Willett Pottinger, R. B. Windham, then associated with D. A. Campbeli, and George A. Magney, who was for years county attorney of Douglas county, were among the legal lights then practicing law here. The population of the city at that time was given at over 5,000, but the exact figures were' not stated.

Yesterday afternoon the baseball warriors of the Village of Weeping Water proceeded to lambast our base ball aggregation when they visited the city of sobbing waters to the tune of 14 to 0. The tale is one of grief and disappointment as the lo cals were outplayed and to add to the general slaughter a large num ber of "errors were piled up by the locals and which materially assisted in piling up the large score for Weeping Water. Mason did the box work for the Merchants and was touched up lively, which with the errors made the winning easy for our opponents. Carmen, the college hurler of Lincoln, was in the box for Weeping Water and made fifteen of the locals w hiff the air while at bat. FINE BALL GAME The Cedar Creek base ball team on last Sunday played the Wabash team at that place and as the result of the meeting one of the best games of the season was staged, with Wa bash winning by a score of 2 to 1.
