dressed man stepped up behind her and de-
manded her pocket book. At the same time
ne pushed her inside the door. The
pocket book, containing a small sum OF
money, was handed over, and the lady
emitted a scream that aroused the neighbor-
hood. In his anger the man seized Mrs.
Nickum violently by the throat and crowded
her against a stone. AS she fell he struck
her a severe blow in the face and then made
his escape through the back yard into the al
ley. The police were notified and sent a
patrol wagon, but no arrests were made.

Pleased York County Citizens.

YORK, Neb.. Sept. 1s,-(special)-The
action Of the republican convention at David
City Monday In nominating Judges Sedgwick
and Kellogg as judges for the Fifth judicial
district was no surprise to the republicans
throughout the county. Judge Sedgwick has
been a resident and lawyer OF York county
for the past seventeen years. 1t s thought
that. owing to his standing as a lawyer, he
will secure many non-partisan votes. -Four
years ago this fall Judge Sedgwick was NOM
mated by the republicans as a candidate for
the same office for which he is now nom
mated. At that time the populists were at
their strongest, and the year before York
county for the first time in its history, or
since, went otherwise than republican.
Judge Sedgwick in a hard race was defeated
for the office Of district judge by a few votes.
The populist county convention win be he'd
at this place In a short time. There are
county Offices, in which. as yet, there APP
pears to be no candidates.

LINCOLN, Sept. 19.-(Special.)-The certif-
cate of the straight" democratic convention
held in Lincoln September 5 was today filed
with the secretary of state, signed by Chair
man Bibb. AS the law Is construed by Secre-
tary Of State Piper, unless a protest is made
by the free silver wing Of the democratic
party the names of the candidates nomi-
mated by that convention will go on the
ticket in due form. In passing upon the Aus
tralian law last fall the supreme court ruled.
Justice Post writing the decision, as follows:
4. 1t is not the province of the secretary
of state to determine which of two rival
state conventions of the same party is en-
titled to recognition as the regular conven-
ton.
5. When two factions of a political party
nominate candidates and certify such nomi-
nations to the secretary of state in due
form of law, the latter will not inquire
into the regularity OF the convention held by
either faction, but will certify to the
several county clerks the names of the
candidates nominated by each, such practice
quires courts, in case of doubt, to adopt
that construction which affords the citizen
the greater liberty in casting his ballot.
AS the matter now stands 1t looks as II the
nominees of the Lincoln convention would go
on the tickets labeled as democrats. In this
event 1t would seem that some other d~esigna-
ton must be applied to the nominees Of the
free silver gathering at Omaha.
