KAVANAUGH Last Saturday about noon, a very dis tressing accident occurred at the home of Otto Ernst, four miles southwest of this city, which resulted in the death of his eleven year old daughter. Mr. Ernst had been doing some ditching to drain a pond on his place, and the large plow was pulled by the use of two caps tans located on either side of the pond. The work had been completed and the cabel was being removed from capstans. Mr. Ernst and his two children were standing near one of the capstans, when the cable caught and caused the team to give an extra pull. The sweep used on the capstan had not been removed and when the cable caught the sweep was started and swung around, striking all three, the girl receiving a blow on the hack of the head which caused instant death, and the boy being rendered un conscious for several hours. Mr. Ernst was also badly bruised by being struck. Medical aid was summoned at once and the boy revived, but the little girl was dead before the physician arrived. Coroner Gass was called and decided that hu inquest was unnecessary. Fun eral services were held Tuesday after uoon from the home, being conducted by Kev. Hniuu of the Gruetli church, and burial was in the Columbus cemetery. . Not in a number of years have there been as many Hallowe'en pranks us this year, und while there were a number ofharmlesB ones, such as soaping win dows, removing gates and the like, there were some that should not be countenan ced. At the Third ward school the board fence was torn down und other damage to the amount of about $100 done. At the V. M. C. A. build ing a pair of wagon wheels were drawn up and down the concrete stairs, break ing them in about a doen places, which damage will rosl considerable to repair. One of the pranks of the high school boys was to take L. F. Rector's cow into the building via the gymnasium and lead her up to the second tloor. where she was found in the morning. The damage in this case was nothing, but the condition of the school building was such that school eculd not beheld in the upper rooniB until afternoon, after the building had been cleaned up. The janitor of this building remained there until about midnight, when, then think ing that there would be nothing, went home. It was after this that the boys got busy and took the tow into' the building. Tuesday evening there was a distur bance on Twelfth street, in front of the building owned by E. A. Harms and dur ing the trouble eonieone broke one of the plate glass windows in the east side of the building, occupied byE. Bergman and a little damage was done to one of the monuments inside. Wednesday morning Mr. Harms filed a complaint in police court charging W. E. Johnson Buck McLaughlin, Jake Trimpi. jr., and John Doe with fighting and disturbing the peace, and a warrant was issued and placed in the hands of Chief of Police Schack. The men will probably have their hearing Wednesday. Monday of this week the assault case from Humphrey was up in Judge Ratter man's court, wherein Henry Kersch was plaintiff and Walter Schmedeke and Gus Teske, and Setty Teeke were defendants. The case was called for about two weeks ago, when the defendants furnished n physician's certiGcate for Mrs. Setty Teske and on this a continuance was granted. A good many of the witnesses were not notified and attended the date of the first hearing, nnd this helped to swell the costs tabed up to the defend ants, they amounting to $78 40. and tines were $10 each, for Schrnedek and Teske, Mrs. Setty 'IVske being discharged. C. K. Early returned from Lincoln Tuesday evening, where tie was called by the death of his nephew. Earl Austin. The young man suffered a stroke of paralysis six months ago, and this even tually caueed bis death, which occurred last Friday evening. Earl was a resi dent of Oolnnibus until he was thirteen years of age, and attended the public schools in this city. He wus lorn in this city and made his houi with his grand mother. Mrs. Mary Early Thir teen years ago he moved to Lincoln where his father resides, and worked at his trade, that of a paper banger. Last Wednesday Geo. Williams, a stranger, was caught stealing some silk at the Gray dry goods store, and was ar rested and taken before Police Judge O'Brien Thursday morning. He was convicted of the charge and the judge gave him n sentence of fifteen days, every other day on bread and water. Edward Deegan of Lindsay was also be fore the judge Thursday, charged with being intoxicated, and it developed that his treatment of hiB family was not what it should be. He will spend thirty days in the county jail for the offense. Little Fred Marty was the victim of an accident last Saturday that will lay him up for some time. Fie attempted to get on the milk wagon, near the First ward school, when he was pushed off, one of the wheels running over his leg making a wound that it required several stitches to close. After he was injured he was unable to walk, and some of his friends secured a child's wagon to take him to his home. Dr. Naumann. Dentist 13th St Dr. Morrow, office Lueschen building.

Candidate for County Attorney, was horn on u farm in West Virginia. He is a graduate or the West Virginia Univer sity and came to Platte county in the fall of V.m. During bis first year in Platte county he taught school near Columbus. In 1!K)4 he took the bar examination, since which time he has been engaged in the active practice of law. He is clean, capable and honest and it elected county attorney will render good service to the county. Mr. McElfresh has the following to say concerning- the county attorney's olline: "The election of county attorney is of vital importance to the tax payers of Platte county The office more than any other may or may not constitute a drain upon the pockets of the tax payers. It all depends upon how t he olllce is con ducted. If it is used for a mercenary end or for the purpose of stirring up petty litigation that some attorney may realize large fees the burden of this ex pense will be upon the county.

A lawyer should be jud ged not by his ability to fill the court dockets with petty cases hut rather by his ability to adjust controversies, when ever possible, without court costs and extensive litigation to his clients. It a lawyer abuses his clients in his daily practice he will abuse the tax pay ers it county attorney. If he chokes the civil d -ckets with petty cases in his pri vate practice be will choke the criminal docket with petty cases at the expense of the county in his official practice. The lax payers bear the burden and the county attorney should give the peo ple an honest and economic enforcement of the law."

There are times where party politics should be a second consideration and this is a year where there seems to be little polities in the campaign. Who is Jndge Boyd, and what baa he done in a public way, and what may we reasonably expect of him if elected? Many years ago Jndge Boyd came to Nebraska and settled at Oakdale where he practiced law and held different local offices, and by reason of his good stand ing as a citizen and lawyer was elevated to the district judgeship, and later serv ed a term in congress. An investigation of his record shows that he was always loyal to his district and state. It was Congressman Boyd who, by untiring efforts secured the appropriation for the government build ing for Colnmbus, which is now in course of construction; it was Congressman Boyd who secured an increase in the appropriation and it is he who can and will do all in his power, if elected, to help Columbus aud Platte county. His vote was uIwhjh in the interest of bis constituency. Mr. Latta, the other candidate, has served one term in congress. What has be done? He vott-d tnd worked against the postal saving tank bill though it was favored by n majority of the demo crats, nnd was a part of the platform. He bitterly oppoM d he bank guaranty law. He made a motion in congrehB to strike out an appropriation of i.i"N to ao experimental work in this state to trow timber on sandy and other lands unfit for farming. He voted against the bill creating a court of commerce in the interest of the farmer and shipper and to reduce freight rates. He failed to vote on the resolution to investigate the sugar truht. Ue failed to secure a Hngle appropria tion for his district. Out of ninety-seven roll calls he failed to respond to twent-four. Voters, which f tbeee men do you think will best represent you? Mr. Latta is plaiig the farmer jmt now. When he is in Washington he plays the rich banker. He claims to cultivate, by proxy, about 3,000 acres of land. We are wondering bow he secur ed all this rich land, and how many of these farms he secured by foreclosure of mortgages, on money loaned to the farm ers at from ten to twenty per cent With all these facts based upon the records, and more particularly upon the effort Mr. Latta is now making to play the farmer, we do not see why any un biased voter should voie for Mr. Latta. We want the man electi d who has and can do something for n and whose past record is clean, n-gardless of party poli tics. I shall vote for Mr. Boyd. A Voter. Y. M. C. A. Notes.
