DIVISION Of
PRECINCTS
To Be MADE
County Commissioners Will
Hold a Special Meeting
Tonight.
MANY FAVOR MAKING TWELVE
PRECINCTS OF THE FOUR CITY
ELECTION DISTRICTS, AND THIS
MAY BE DONE AT THE MEET
ING TO BE HELD TONIGHT.

A special meeting of the county
commissioners is TO be held tonight
at the court house for the purpose OF
making a division OF the city pre-
cincts SO that all voters can be ac-
commedated at future elections and
none lose their votes on account of
the clerks and inspectors being I'M
able to vote the large number of per-
sons qualified TO cast their ballot in
the city.
The mater has been discussed since
the election of last October, when
with short ballot many were unable
to vote, or were compelled to stand
in line for almost an hour waiting
FOR an opportunity TO get into he poll
ing booth.
Many citizens favor making twelve
precincts of the four existing election
districts, and it is probable that this
number will be created. They take
the view that not more than 200 per-
sons should be expected to vote in
any one precinct, especially If there
is long ticket TO be voted None of
the country precincts contain as
many as eighty votes, while the
smallest precinct in the city, No. IA.
voted 2S4 at the last election, while
the largest No 10, contained $50.
1t is believed that by making two
precincts of both 13 and IA and four
of both each of the larger ones, that
the matter will be adjusted satisfac-
torily. This will give the city total
of twelve voting places, and by locat-
ing them in different sections of the
city will also be a great convenience
to voters on election days.

these will be opened tomorrow.
In order to meet the specifications
and requirements of the government
for an aerial continuance to be used
in military Operations. the machine
must carry two persons of the COM
bined weight of $50 popnds and suffi-
cient fuel for flight of 125 miles. It
must be designed for a speed of at
least 40 miles an hosr, but a machine
will be accepted capable of only So
miles. although only % , per cent. of the
contract price will be paid for it. Like
wise, there is a provision for pre-
MUM on speed in excess OF 40 miles
an hour, so that a machine capable OF
making "A miles In SO minutes would

Among the minor specifications is
that the machine shall be so designed
that it can descend in any country
which may be encountered in field
service. The starting device must be
simple and transportable. The machine
should also land in field without re-
quiring>a specially prepared spot and
without damage to its structure. IT
should also be provided with some de
vice to permit safe descent in case
of accident to the propelling machin-
cry. A still further requirement is
that the apparatus shall be sufficiently
simple in construction and operation
as ito permit any intelligent man TO
become proficient in its use within a
reasonable time"

Special to The Journal.

Tekamah, Neb., Jan. 31.-A strange
bull dog of uncertain age and with
out teeth, appeared on the Tekamah
streets a week ago with a chip on
his shoulder and soon found trouble.
The biggest dog in town tackled him
and was put out after brief set-to.
Five other Tekemah dogs tried to
turn the trick on the bull dog the
same day and all received similar
punishment He took on four more
bouts his second day in town, where
upon Walter Whitaker, who likes a
game sport, adopted the newcomer
and hired a dentist to furnish the
dog with a full set of teeth. The
dog did not like his artificial arma-
ment at first, but has evidently got
used to it. No other dog has attack
ed him since he was given false
teeth.
