THEY FAILED TO FILE.
Candidates for Township officers
Did Not Report Expenses.

Something like 200 citizens Of Dick.
nson county are liable to arrest for
violation Of what IL known an the
Douglass election law. Among the
provisions Of the law IL one making II
obligatory that every candidate for
Office shall within specified time after
election file sworn statement of his
campaign expenses with the county
clerk. That time expired on the sth
inst, The penalty provided is a fine nj
not less than $40 nor more than $500,
or Jail sentence OF not less than ten
days or more than six months.
County Clerk Nottorf said today that
although all candidates for county
Offices had complied with the law not
more than one half the candidates for
township Offices had flied their bill of
expense. Those who did make q state.
ment almost uniformly report no money
spent, as the tickets were printed ut
county expense aud there was hardly
inducement In a township Office to
warrant any elaborate efforts to secure
1t. Doubtless many of the little army
OF OK candidates considered that as
they spent nothing In the campaign
they had no "bill OF expense" to nle.
There is whole lot OF sense In such n
view of the case. The law Is altogether
too rigorous in some directions and the
difficulty in enforcing II will result in
Its becoming to some extent a dead
letter. Even in this, it's first trial in
the State, 1t has probably not been
carried out fully In regard to township
officers in single county IN Kansas.
In every one should some one start Ia
enforce the law the treasurers vault
would either get q large contribution OF
the jail would be filled to OVERLOOKING,
unless the law could be broken in the
courts.

A NAIL IN HER HEAD.

population Is frequently accused OF

there are hobbies, sensible and other
wise, crank notions, Populist ideas and
other fool things that get inside OF
cranlums but an Abilene woman who
has been carrying around a six.penny
nail inside her skull for six weeks and
lives to tell the story rather leads the
procession up to date.
The performer Of this remarkable
feat is Mrs. Frank Roadson, mother OF

stoutly denied knowing how IL came
there. This position seemed little
unusual as she had apparently not been

took considerable questioning to make
her CONFESS. At last she admitted that
the day before the physician was first
called she had herself driven the nail
