Special to Times-Republican.

Nevada, Oct. 2O.-Thc republicans Of
Story county have been greatly startled
by the discovery which has just been
made that the nomination papers for
the republican ticket were not filed with
the auditor pursuant to law. 1t is the
duty Of the chairman ard secretary OF
the convention to fill out and file the
papers with the county auditor twenty
case would be Oct. IA. This Messrs.
Neneman and Shepherd, who were
chairman and secretary of the conVen-
ton, failed to do, and good republicans
saw staring them in the face the spec
tacle OF an official ballot on the coming
eventful day in November with no re-
publican ticket represented. And the
prospect of seeing the election go by
default to the democrats, who are
small minority in Story county, made
them search their wits for some solu-
ton Of the problem of getting the
names Of the republican nominees on
the ticket. The error was first noticed
en- the 18th inst and the papers We're
at once. made out and filed, there being
some question as to whether the law
could be interpreted to mean twenty
full days or just twenty days before
election. 1t was thought best to let the
matter rest this way until a decision is
received from the attorney general.
when, If his opinion is that twenty full
.1ovs arc necesSary another plan Will
be resorted to. A careful perusal OF the
election law reveals the fact that the
county committees have the power to
fill vacancies on the ticket and file the
names up to within five days of the
election, and this plan will be used If
nothing better is presented.

RICH MEN SHOT AT.
Police Of Keokuk Working on Two
Mysterious Cases.


keokuk, Oct. 20.-The police depart
ment has been working unsuccessfully
today to solve mysterious assault
made on Thomas II. Pond, n leading
business man of this city. Mr. Pond
went into his back yard last night,
and saw a man standing inside the
fence, who shot twice at him, both shots
missing their mark. The man escaped
over a high river bluff near by. The
police put bloodhounds on the trail
within an hour. but the dogs failed
within a short distance.
Pond caught an uncertain glimpse of
the man thirty feet away, but has no
idea who his assailant was. Recently
a wealthy farmer, living in the suburbs
of keokuk, was shot at his home at the
same hour of the night, and the police
and a detective agency have found no
clew yet. The similar. but unsuccess-
full, attempt to shoot Mr.. Pond causes
the suspicion that a lunatic is trying to
exterminate the wealthy citizens of
I<eOkuk.

Boone, Oct. 2O.-When the Boone

thorough investigation, however, he
