(Prom a Staff Correspondent.)
MNTOLX, Feb. 23 .(Special.) An. effort
Al " f '
Trilfl to withdraw from the cnnKrexKlonal
race and permit Jiitl-. Lincoln Krurt to bo
tho only candidate from Lancaster county.
Home friend of Judfre Frost Inj-lst that
will bo u candidate whether Tohey wlth-
-:iws or r.ot. while other are of the opln-
Judge Front, will not reslsn his present
office for an uncertainty.
Should Jude Front decide to bo a candi
date it l believed hy those who prtend to
be close to him that he will follow the pre
cedent set by Judge A. V. Fl-ld and resign
from the bench upon the announcement of
his candidacy.
Bontfment In this county Is so strong;
aaralnrt a member of the district bench be
Ina; a 'candidate for congress that in the
leg;llature of W7 Senator Kurna introduced
a bill In the If.jrlplntnre to make it unlaw
ful for a district judk'e to run for any other
Akiycci while still on the bench.
( It was areued nt that time that the Judge
on the" bench had an unfair ndvantase of
competitor in that he ootild force lawyers
and lltl-nnts to he for him by swinging the
! Uidlolal tll.
Bff-lt In when he was defeated by W.
J. 1? yan, Jude Allen W. Field ha: the
same Idea and felt that It wan a duty and
an obligation to lawyers and litigants fpin
erally .that he resign from the bench and
T lake the fight fir concrete on his own
npularlty and his own ability. Tn addition
to that he would not rluk the charge that
he was using hla office to furl her his poll
tlkal ambitions In another direction.
I Al I result of his action, however, Jud'
i'Jnld was defeated, becaiiKO If he had re
mained on the hench he could havo force
the Burlington railroad to cease Its fisht
on him.
Public Krntlitirut Mtrons;.
At the time Senator Burns Introduced hi:,
bill to prevent th Judiciary merely being
a stepping Htone to something higher In tho
political scale tliero was much sentiment
for such a measure over tho state. The
bill passed the senate, but was defeated in
the house. Since then sentiment apparently
has not changed In Lancaster cotmty, so
to moHi the race fur congress It will be
aimostwecessary for Judge Frost to resign
from the ben'h. In announcing hi candl
' dacy Will Hay ward said he intended to re
sign as chairman of the state committee
as sopn as it Is convenient for the cotnmlt-
tee to meet.
Y Should Judge Frost decide to resign and
run for conKrb.is there will be a lively
I scramble for his place as district Judge.
I Governor Shallenberger will appoint a
rLdnmnnra tn fill the vanancv until the elee-
tlon, at which time a candidate will be
elected to serve out the term. There will
be many candidates f or the place, including
probably Judge P. , James Cosgrave, who
is at present ' county Judge. Judge Cos
grave i was talked of for congress, but
after considering the matter concluded not
to get Into the race, but to hold onto what
he has. Ills friends believe that, he will
make a formidable candidate for the dis
trict aguch .when the vacancy occurs.
Normal .Hoard and Executive.
Oovernor Shallenberger today to quiet a
report that he had secured legal advice
that he can legally remove the member of
the Normal board, sulci there was no truth

The body of A. J. Crigler, who was found
dead 1: bed at his homestead, six miles

Crigler, who wns 77 years eld nnd lived
alone, had not been seen for nearly a
week. When found the bodv was thor
oughly frozen, showing that life had beat
extinct for several days. A pathetic fea
ture of tho case was the discovery of th!
body by a brother, Wesley Crigler, who
lives lu tin western part of the state. The
two had not seen each other for a number
'of years and Wesley came to Custer county
for the express purpose of paying the
elder brother a visit. Making inquiries,
he drove out to the farm, where he found
all the doors of the house securely locked.
He then went to a neighboring telephone
and called up most evry one In that sec
tion trying to locate his brother, but the
only satisfaction obtained was that he
was last seen on the previous Monday.
Wesley then returned to the farm, accom
panied by the liveryman and neighbors,
broke open the door vlth a pitchfork and
found the body of his 'brother. A dog was
also Imprisoned in the house. Owing to
tho advanced ago of the deceased and there
being no marks of foul play. Coroner Pen
nhig'on decided not to hold an Inquest.

WOULD STOP OPTOMETRISTS
USING TITLE0F "DOCTOR"
Secretary of State Board Reeommeads
' Baa Unless Men Arv Hesnlarly
( Licensed Phyaiclana,
J. C. Iluteson. secretary-treasurer of
the State Board of Examiners In Opto
metry, in the annual report .of the board
to Governor Shallenberger, asks that the
law be so amended to give the board full
power to revoke and cancel the certificates
of any licensed optometrist not a regular
licensed physician who advertises or uses
the title "Doctor" or "Dr." as it is used
to deceive and mislead the public.
Th report shows that thirty-two have
been c anted certificates during the year
and that there are 262 optometrists In the
state. The board has adopted the policy of
notifying offenders against the state law
before prosecution and In this way has
kept out ijuacks without causing an arrest
during th year.
other recommendations made with the
hope they will be enacted etato laws are
these;
I hat all persons practicing optometry
span qualify before the Stat Board of
examiner in upiombii y wiiethor the prac-
uiiuucr uv uieuicai or non-meaicai.

before the board for examination, he or
sue. anaii preaent evidence of certain ele
mentary educational qualifications.
That the sale of ready-made spectacles
which are row sold by Inexperienced people
as merchandise be prohibited by lav. The
board believes that great harm la done to
the health of th public by this method
of aelilng glasses.
i no board believes thnt It should
given greater scope In the matter of
voklng certificates.
Since there are now in the state about
forty peripatetic optometrists who aro as
a class a disgrace to the profession th
board believes their practice ahould b
prohibited by law and th beard should b
given authority by law to revoke and can
cel th certificate of any optometrist for
proven professional Itinerancy.
That th present law be ss amended to
retire all certificates of exemption within
three years after th paaaag of the act.
