Our Own Candidate For Regent.
Victor G. Lyford was born in 1859 at Neponset Bureau county ;
llinois , being the third of fourteen children. lie spent most of his
outh , when not in school , working on his fathers farm. He grad-
latcd from Hedding college , Abingdon , 111. , in 1880 taking the de
gree of bachelor of philosophy. The following year was devoted to
teaching in the graded school of his native town. 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. Talbot under the firm name of Lyford & Talbot ,
ic embarked in the practice of law at Lincoln. In 1884 he return
ed to Illinois where seven years wcrcdevotcd to a mercantile enter-
> rise. . Since 1891 he has lived eight years at Humphrey , Platte
county , Nebraska , and six years at Falls City , Richardson county ,
ill the while engaged in mercantile business. He is an active work
er in nearly every local interest , is "now serving his second term as
i member of Falls City board of education , is a member of the
Methodist church , Kuights of Pythias , Modern Woodman. Work
men , Highlanders and the legal college fraternity , ' 'Phi Delta Phi. "
In 1885 he married Florence N. Wilhts of New Boston , 111. Their
family now consists of six daughters. Witli a New England ances
try , traced directly back to lf > 27 , he could be nothing but a repub
lican. The candidacy of Mr. Lyford is meeting with general favor
throughout Richardson county. 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.
