HARTINGTON — The big primary election was pulled off in this county last Tuesday without thrills or any great surprises, and the long, tedious job of canvassing the official returns is now under way.
The election did not draw out as large a vote as was expected, it being estimated that only about half as many ballots were cast as were polled in the last general election.
There were no contests here for nomination which elicited any special interest by the electorate.
On the Republican ticket, there was a contest between three good men for the nomination for sheriff, which was won by L. A. Case; and on the Democratic ticket, there were two contests, one for county assessor, which was won by C. W. Hedglin, and one for county attorney, which was won by P. F. O’Gara.
Returns from over the state are very slow in coming in. In regard to many of the offices, it is impossible to make any statement at present, and only an approximate estimate is available in any case.
It seems quite certain at this time that A. L. Sutton has been nominated for governor by the Republicans and Keith Neville by the Democrats. Sutton was an out and out “dry” candidate, and Neville was neutral on the matter.

HARTINGTON —G. A. Street has installed a Blougas plant for cooking and lighting in his restaurant. This gas is said to be non-explosive and non-asphyxiating, very brilliant and hot. It is proving popular among village and farm residences for lighting, cooking, ironing, bath-room heat, engines, etc.
Mr. Street is the proprietor of one of the leading restaurants in the city, and it is his constant aim to add new and modern features.

HARTINGTON — Considerable complaint is heard at various times about the practice of some of letting their chickens run the neighborhood to the great annoyance of the people of the vicinity and in many cases to the destruction of flower and vegetable gardens.
A word to the wise ought to be sufficient in regard to these matters.
In the first place, it is a violation of the law to allow chickens or other stock to run the streets, and, in the second place, it is an infraction of the Golden Rule, which we are commanded to obey.
There is probably nothing more exasperating than to have a stray hen or hens scratch up your carefully made gardens, and it is a strain upon patience and good nature to which no one should subject his neighbors.

HARTINGTON —Another big wolf drive was held north of Hartington last Sunday, and as the result of it there are now 10 less wolves in Cedar county than there were before.
The hunt took in eight square miles of territory, and was organized by Joe Thoene and G. H. Kehls.
On account of the threatening weather, the outside lines were not sufficiently filled in and, consequently, six or seven wolves made their escape.
It is estimated that the hunt was attended by 1,000 or 1,200 men.
