PRIMARY ELECTION | COMES ON FRIDAY Qu««r Kink in N«w Law Changes Customary Election Day Candidates for office in Nebraska who are at all superstitious may be deterred from running in the pri maries next spring, which will occur on Friday April 19. It has been gen erally supposed that this primary election like all others would take place on Tuesday, but in looking up the law Secretary of State Wait dis covered otherwise. The primary law as ameudedby the last legislature specifies that in presi dential years the primaries shall be advanced to a date forty-five days be fore the first Monday in June, which falls next year on the third of that month. Takingacalendarand count ing backward one arrives at the date of April 19, which is on Friday. State Auditor Barton, who tiled on Wednesday for congress in the Fifth district was in Secretary Wait’s office when the latter ascertained the time of the coming primary election. “Friday! Friday! now what do you think of that?” he commented,“If it was on the ‘13th’ I’d withdraw my papers, but as it isl guess I’ll stick.” How the legislature came to fix the primary date “forty-five days be fore the first Mondav in June” is something nobody knows. It is thought by some that this may have been due to a desire to emulate the ancient Romans who counted the days of the months backward. Others think the farmers of the act were patterning it after the method of fixing Easter on the calendar and got their wires crossed in doing so. by leaving out the full moon.

The farm house of Mr. Marlelte Sr., seven miles southwest of Pleasanton took tire last Saturday night during the blizzard which prevailed at the time and burned to the ground. The family escaped from the burning building but were unable to save more than the clothing they wore. The temperature was down to about zero and the wind was blowing a forty-mile gale and the suffering of the family was quite intense until they could be taken to the homes of neighbors where they were kindly cared for. The fire was due to a de fective flue.—Ravenna News. Stenography 2.000 Years »go.
