KAS PATENT COLLANDER
Mrs. J. A. 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

tient is reported as doing very nice

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.

A REMINDER OF
TIMES THAT WERE
Directory of the City of Plattsmouth
in 1881 is Unique Publication
to Present Generation.
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.

PLATTSMOUTH PLAYERS
From Friday's Dally.
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.
Not an error was made on either Hide
and the two teams played ball all
the time as the score would indicate.
