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.

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.

involve any party issues and the people
should not be confused by party differ
ences in choosing a man for this office
bnt should unite in an effort to secure
an honest administration of county af
fairs at the greatest siving possible to
the tax payers
One appealing to the suffrages of the
people should be judged by his record
for honesty or dishonesty in bis daily
walks of life. 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."

Judge Boyd for Congress.
Among the candidates asking the
votes of the electors on Nov. 8tb, is
Judge J. F. Boyd.
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.
