VINSoNHALER READY TO QUIT
County Judge willing to Resign II
Clerk Can he Elected to
Vacancy.

Duncan NJ Vinsonhaler is anxious TO re-
sign from the position Of county Judge for
Douglas county in which he is now filling
his third term, providing he can name his
successor. He is apparently equally anxious
to have his chief clerk, Charles w. Leslie,
chosen by the Board OF County Commits
sioners to fill out the unexpired term.
This came out this morning when the
members of the county board were ap-
preached by Judge Vinsonhaler and asked
to pledge themselves to vote for Leslie
In the event of Vinsonhaler's resignation,
which was said TO be all ready to hand in.
The effort to secure enough votes TO insure
Leslies election has not as yet been sue
cessfui. Some republican members of the
board do not want to vote for him, and 1t is
said that Hofeldt will vote for Woodrough
II given an opportunity.
1t is understood that a portion OF the
bargain VinsonhRler is seeking to drive is
that he have control OF the patronage Of
the office. He was all ready to resign sew
eral months ago and announced his inten-
ton OF so doing. His inability to name his
successor then caused a change in his plans
which he now thinks are mature enough to
go into effect.

president Of the First National banks Of
Loup City and Greeley and Of the state

TO the Panhandle of Texas. where he goes
to buy $1,000 acres OF land for a Nebraska

''There never was such a change in con-
ditiOns in any country as in the neighbor-
hood OF Loup City in the last ten or twelve
years. During the days OF hard times and
calamity preaching the farmers were I'M
able TO buy seed for their farms. Our bank
advanced seed and told the farmers TO
first feed their families and IL any grain
was left to sell 1t and pay for the seed.
II It took all TO keep the families we'd
lose the seed. This lasted for two years
and then the seed money began TO return.
Today all tho farmers are prosperous and
I've got TO go to Texas to find remunerative

one OF the most thrilling runaways and
yet the most fortunate that has occurred
IN omaha for many year, happened
Iuesday evening on North Thirtieth street,
from Florence to the intersection of Thir-
ueth ana Bristol streets. The heroine OF
thls exciting incident is Miss Mary Co.'S
grove of Sixteenth and Ohio streets.
with companion, Miss Morearty of the
Lake Street school, Miss Cosgrove hired a
saddle horse Tuesday afternoon at the
Doty barn, 253l Sherman avenue and went
for ride to Florence and the surrounding
country. Upon the return of the young
women. about D. m, Miss Cosgrove's
mount became frightened at a piece of
moving paper and started on a mad dash
south on Thirtieth street
The horse continued on it's wild flight all
the way to Bristol street. and the fact
that Miss CosErove was not thrown on
the way is to her credit, while the fact
that she finally escaped with no serious in
Juries is more the result of circumstances
than anything else. When the horse turned
up on Bristol street the young woman was
thrown as from cataput to pile OF high
weeds and sustained but shaking UP and
Few minor bruises. Captain Hayes and
sergeant Havey of the police station were
hihs holhe on Brlstol street at the
time and managed to stop the fugitive ami
NAL They assisted the young woman to
her home on Ohio street The horse was
somewhat scratched. Miss Cosgrove soon
recovered from the effects Of her wild
ride.
People along the way of Miss Cosgrove's
exciting ride say they never before wit
messed such a spectacular movement OF
horse and rider. Paul Reveres ride In l77e.
they say was but circumstance to the
stunt performed by the Omaha woman on
Thirtieth street. Miss Cosgrove lost her
hat enroute and before she came under the
wire her hair was flowing like a witch OF
fairy-book lore.
Miss Morearty's horse finished in good
order.

days Of the campaign, was very well at

delivered addresses The burden of the ar.

time had arrived when no past however
glorious nor any promises for the future,
however iridescent, could take the place
OF actual. present merit. The merit OF
parties was apt to be judged by the merit
OF It's candidates. They especially urged
the importance Of the local campaign, and
the local elections. These elections are
OF far greater Importance to us as indi-
Viduals than the state elections or the
presidential elections. The local authori-
TIES aftect US by dollars and dollars, where
the state and federal authorities mean only
cents. Not only money matters, but the

mined by the local elections

AFFAIRS At SOUTH OMAHA
Sewer Bond Ordinance Brings Up Another
Ve1sd Question.
NEW WRINKLE IN MACHINE ELECTION
Can the City Charter Provision he

the state Law Fixing
Voting Hoursi

In the ordinance calling for a special
election to be had on November to vote
on the $4,000 sewer bond proposition. the
time designated for voting IL from a. m.
until p m. This is in accordance with
the city charter. In following out this or
der there is likely TO be some confusion.
as the polls at a general election are kept
open from a. m. until D. m. Voting
machines will be used at the November
election ana the question lie will the cleo
ton Officers keep the polls open an hour
longer than required by the state law or
not Another question IL, can the ma
chimes be used for voting after .. m.
City Clerk Gillin declares that the voting
machines are so constructed that at 6
o'clock the regular ticket can be locked
and that by. using release lever the bond
proposition only can be voted on He Is
not quite sure about this. but will take
the matter up with g. C. Hamilton. a rep
resentative OF the voting machine COM
pany. as soon as he returns from the east
or course the election offcers will be all
lowed extra compensation by the city for
canvassing the bond proposition vote. The
use OF machines and the keeping open Of
the polls until 7 p. m. will delay the re-
turns just one hour The mayor and coun-
ell appear TO think that all matters per-
tanning to the, bond election can be salts
factorily arranged so that there will be
no complaint about the delay in closing
the polls.
Should it be found that the machines
cannot be used after 6 D. m. the under
standing is that ballots will be used after
the usual hour for closing the machines.

President Roosevelt's attempt to
bring about a revision in the rules of
the gridiron sport that it may be
played with less risk to the lives and

but a revival of the caustie COM

it Is even believed that the Greeks

Ever since it first made Its appear

IRENE roughness and has been the
subject of denunciations on the part
of those who cared more for their
own safety and that of the players
than for the final score.
AS early as 1914 football had be-
come so popular In London as a street
game and attracted 50 many disord-
erly spectators that the staid old mer-
chants entered a vigorous protest.
King Edward ii was on the throne
then and wasted no time dining the
football coaches or arguing about
the. matter. He issued a proclama-
ton In which he said:
"Forasmuch as there Is great noise
in the city caused by hustlIng, over
large balls from which many evils
might arise, which God forbid, w

the King, on pain of Imprisonment,
