During 1882 and 1883 he studied law in the law department of the Noithwestern uni versity , having A. R. Talbot and William J. Bryan as classmates. In 1883 with A. R.

While his election is conceded by all , it seems to be the general desire of the people that his own county should give him a most flattering majority. In this manner the voters , one might almost say without regard to party affilia tions , will testify to his standing as a citizen and his fitness for the office for which he has been nominated. Judge Tucker To Resign. The press dispatches yesterday morning announce that after a full review of the' report of the inspector made on Judge Tucker's case the department of Justice at Washington has called upon Judge Tucker to resign. No in formation is obtainable at this time with reference to what charges were sustained , but it is presumed that the more serious specifications were not substan tiated in as much as the Judge was given the opportunity to re sign. The suggestion is made that Judge Paul Jessen of Ne braska City will be appointed as his successor. Judge Tucker was appointed less than a year ago and has served through one term of court. The position paid $4500 a year Factory Enlarged. R. EKanaly has found it nec- ns ary to enlarge his cigar fac tory and a gallery has been plac ed in the room to afford more space for the use of workmen. It is always a good sign when the management of any factory is forced to provide more floor space in order to handle the busi ness. V Marriage License Albert J.
