A. C. Longneeker. of St. Paul, was j instantly killed at 9:30 Monday morn ing on the road three miles northwest of Ashton, near the school house in j Nc. SC, wnen .he car he was driving tunred turtle, pinning him underneath and breaking his neck. Mr. Longneeker was collector for the International Harvester Co., and made his home at St. Paul, moving out from Omaha about six months ago. He is survived by a wife and one child. The accident as witnessed by Henry Dethlefs. who hurried to the scene, and finding that life was extinct, noti fied Coroner Main at once. In all probability the accident was caused by Mr. Longneeker trying to avoid a mud hole in the center of the road. It appeared that he had turned to the side of the road and in doing so had lost control of the car. The road was soft and slippery, rain falling the night before. A coroner’s inquest was held at the scene of the tragedy, the jury bringing in a verdict about as the facts are stated above. In this accident, like several others that have occurred near here during1 the past year, it occurred on a level piece of road at a place that it would appear to be perfectly safe. THE CHURCHES.

Last Sunday evening rain suddenly commenced falling and while the de luge lasted only a few minutes, over half an inch of water felL A GOOD SUGGESTION. The delay in securing returns from the primary election over Dawes and every other county in the state shows the necessity of one important amend ment to tile primary law, and that would be to have a double number of judges and clerks of election—one set to take in and record the vote and the other to count the ballots every hour during the day. This would shorten the duties and enable the re turns to be counted and finished with in a few minutes after the last vote is polled. The cost would be no great er than at present and the tedious hours of one set of clerks and judges cut squarely in two. and the satisfac tion of the voters greatly enhanced. This method is employed in a great many states and why it has not been incorporated into the election laws of Nebraska would be difficult to de termine, unless by oversight and un thoughtfulness. The matter should be remedied at the next session of the legislature.—Crawford Courier. WHO KILLED CHARLES?

"I.” said Art Mullen, sober and sullen: "I'll toss him in.” Who will forget? “I,” said Dick Met.. “I will forget: j none will forgive him.”—Bixby. WORK PROGRESSING.

Supposin’ I die; when I reach the gate of Hi wen, old St. Pe'er will say. ‘Pat. have you paid all your debts, includin' your subscription to the newspaper? "I have.” ‘Where's your receipt?"
