So far as the state la concerned the issues

In this county there will bo elected the fol

Judge , register of deeds , three Judges of the
district court and ono commissioner.
Thp city oftlces to bo filled are : mayor ,
clerk , comptroller , treasurer anil nine coun-

of the School Board H. W. Gibson , County
Commissioner Van Camp , Nat H. Brown ,

Judge Leo Hclsloy.
County TreasurerIroy ( rep. ) will ask for a

hail the nomination had he not declined it.
The democratic aspirants have thus far
kept their soaring ambitions tightly locked
in their own bosoms , realizing that there
will bo ample time to swing open the door
between now and convention day.
County Clerk Sackett ( rep. ) lias had but

Jenkins ( rep. ) the present deputy clerk , but

ANOTHER CHAPTER ,
Celebrated Cni of tlinCommlialonera nobi
ITp Atiln ,
In the equity division of the district court ,
prcaldcd * cr by Judge Ferguson , William
Olmstcad was knocked over the ropes yester
day morning and atonco lost all desire to draw
the salary of county commissioner from the
Third commissioner district of this county ,
nnd at the * .imo tlmo ho was fully convinced
that Gcorgo H. Williams was n four-tlmo
winner nnd that ho would hold the ofllcc
until the expiration of his term.
The story of the Olmstond-Wllllams con
test has been told until It has become fa
miliar to every woman and child In the
county , nnd most of thorn know that Will-
lams won at the polls , before the Jury nnd
then before the court , where Olmstcad's at
torneys not itatisflcd with the findings , In
sisted that Williams should draw cuts to de
cide whether or not ho was entitled to hold
the position which ho had won so many
times.
Monday tfio lawyers devoted the tlmo
to arguing the question , Mr. MaHoney con
tending that It was the proper thing for the
two men to toss up pennies nnd "take their
chances on the result , whllo Mr. Estabrooko
co in bat ted any such idea by denouncing It
folly and Iwys' play , .ludtro Ferguson lis
tened patiently and then took the caio under
advisement , reserving his opinion until this
morning. When the court convened all of
lhn attorneys Avcrc on hand to see what the
Judge would do with reference to Mr. Ma-
honey's novel proposition , tu which ho
wanted all of the former proceedings de
clared off nnd the whole election declared a
tlo for the purpose of casting lots' for.
the oflico nnd the salary. They
did not have long to wait , for
Judge Ferguson at once i relieved
them of all further anxiety by holding
that nothing of the kind.would be tolerated.
The courts of the county , ho opined , had noi
reached the point where they wcro to bo run
as a lottery , nor were they to bo worked
over Into n game of chance In which a man
who was born under a lucky star would bo
winner , without any consideration of the
merits. Everything , ho said , tended to
show that the trial had been conducted In a
fair and honorable manner , showing that
Williams had won. at oacb and every point.
Taking this Into consideration there was
nothing to indicate that Williams should bo
subjected to entering into a gambling opera
tion to hold a position which was already
his. This sottlod'tho case and the motion to
shako dice , draw straws or Hip pennies for
the oflico was promptly overruled.

LOCKED HORNS.
Judg * tiler's CoiiRtitblR Huns Afoul < Sf a
Drputy Sliorlir.
The powers that rule the movements of
the district and the county courts of this
county have locked horns and a numoor of
interested parties are standing around ,
watching the outcome of the entanglement
into which the Judiciary has been worked.
The troubio nil grows out of the failure of
A. L. Sllberman , a junk dealer nt 113 South
Eleventh street , who suddenly departed for
the east a few days afro , leaving his affairs
in n somewhat unsettled condition. The es
tablishment covers two or three lots , and the
stock in trade consists of broken stoves , bottles
tles and thousands of other articles that
have been gathered from the back yards and
alleys of the city.
Shortly after Sllborman left the city ono
of the banks which had a claim attached
all of the plunder and Sheriff Bennett at
once took possession , placing ono of his
deputies in charge. For two days ho made
himself at home , staying there until Mon
day , when ono of Sllbcrman's employes
went into the county court and swore out ro-
nloviu oapers , ho claiming that ho was the
owner of all the property , and that It was
sold to him sjmo tlmo ago. County Judge
Ellor had no hesitancy In issuing the writ ,
which ho turned over to Constable IClnp ,
who prrceedcd to the premises , whore ho
was not long in securing possession.
Yesterday mot'iilne the matter was
called to the attention of the sheriff ,
who armed another deputy and hurried
him away to the scene of action ,
where ho tried to reason with the
constable. Constable Kins was not In a
reasoning mood nnd so informed the deputy.
Ho Informed him that hp had possession and
that ho was holding It under the authority of
the county Judge of the county , and that
that authority was good enough for him , or
at least In the case at Issuo. Now It
so happens that whcro the two
courts como in contact the sheriff
regards the district court as the
superior and docs not take much stock In the
writs of the county tribunal. This being ono
of these cases the constnbla was taken by
the baggy parts of his pants nnd pitched
bodily Into the street , from which place ho
gathered himself nnd hastened away to re
port the undignified position in which the
court had been placed.
At this tlmo there uro talks of law suits
nnd damage suits and the end Is not yet ,
as the district court has declared that Its
right * and prerogatives shall not bo trampled
upon by a court of lesser Jurisdiction.

ing of the elder Wcller to "bovnro of the

the city Jail , but ho failed to put up n strong
dofcnso against their churms , anil because
of It the portals of Fort Madison peniten
tiary yearn for him once more.
Six years ago C.irhco Jointly enjoyed high
Hfo anil the plaudits of the admiring multi
tude when , as drum major of Dalbey's band
In Council Blurts , ho struck spectacu
lar poses nt the head of that
organization , wielding n gold-headed
baton and resplendent In gold lr.cc ,
brass buttons and bearskin. The major was
some tiling of a speculator , anil Ills ventures
wcro generally successful , but In nn ovll
hour his lucky star disappeared from the
ilrmamcnt , and sineo that time peace and
prosperity hnvo known him no more. It so
happened that the band had raised about
S1UUO , and Invested It In nowuniforms , which
wcro entrusted to the keeping of the major.
Ono night , whllo rovoHuR In bright dreams
of the future , the major eloped with the uni
forms. and then and there ho forfeited the
honored cognomen of Carbco , and his name
became Major Mudd , - *
I.oicd I. : i nulls nt l.ock mlthx.
To make a long story short , ho was cap
tured and brought back to the burg on the
prohibition side of the river , where , In splto
of the vigorous exertions of a buxom widow ,
yclept Mrs. Alia Arnold , ho was found
guilty of grand larceny and sentenced to
three years Incarceration In the pen nt Fort
Madison. On the day before Sheriff CVNclll
was to start with him for the penitentiary
Mrs. Arnold appeared at the Jail , accom
panied by a clergyman , and with Carbeo on
one side of the bars and the willow on the
other the ceremony was performed that
gave the pair certain proprietary rights in
each other that could not bo mortgaged or
given away. The bride was on hand the
next evening to see the start , when her be
loved major shuffled out to the walilng car
riage , heavily shackled to "Tex" Baker , a
notorious negro who up to the time of his
conviction had presided over a small but
perfect counterfeit presentment of hades
within the corporate limits of the Bluffs.
When Ills term was up and ho was once
moro a frco man the major returned to his
waiting bride at the Bluffs and began lifo
over again by soon thereafter fading com
pletely out of sight. Now ho appears again
upon the Held of action , charged with em
bezzlement and bigamy.
U'oocd Another Widow.
His story is that last December , whllo on
a sick bed In Chicago , ho received a tele
gram from his wife in the Bluffs , telling him
to come to her immediately If ho wanted to
sco her again allvo. lie was unable to
travel , and in a few days received a letter
conveying the news of her death. Ho sup
posed himself a widower , and at once sot
about looking for another wife. He went to
Sioux City , without making any inquiry as
to the funeral or the llnal disposition of the
remains of the former Mrs. Arnold , and in
the city up tno river ho ran across Mrs.
Cr.indall , a woman who had found the bohds
of wedlock palling , and had therefore in
voked the aid of the courts to giro her back
.her heart. The major laid violent stego to
the citadal of the grass-widowed affections ,
and the garrison surrendered uncondition
ally.
Itoturn to UiR rirst Lore.
A wedding took place In Sioux City last
April , and the major was given n warranty
deed to anothereurgo of connubial bliss. Ac
cording to his statement , ho learned a month
later that his first wife was still alive and
enjoying good health in Omaha , and ho
forthwith set sail for this city , leaving Mrs.
Carbeo No. 2 securely anchored at Sioux
City. H6 has boon living hero with No. 1
ever since , because ho ' 'thought the most of
the first ono , and wouldn't have thought of
getting married again" within four months
of his supposed bereavement if he had had
oven the slightest inkling that his jail-
marncil spouse was still alive.
It is No. 2 who Is making the trouble , but
Carbeo has great confidence in nis ability to
prove that ho acted in peed faith. Ho
laments that an unlucky fate Is pursuing
him , and says that no matter how hard a
man tries to do Hunt after having had a
hard turn , the world is bound to go dead
against him and ho might as well knuckle
under.

The sottlcmcnt.-wlth the river front squat
ters turns out not ) do bo a settlement at all.
Only ono has plcItbJ up and sought an abode
elsewhere. Those remaining are obstinate
and rcfuso to vacate , with two or thrco ex
ceptions , wh ) will probably vacate by the
latter part of the wcok. Indications nro
that before the city has cleared the strcoti
of the trcsn.issers heroic measures will
have lobe adopted.
Sergeant Sli\vart has been down among
the bottom dwcllbrs during the p.iit two
days. The map prepared uy John Werner ,
ono cf the squ ittcrs , at the instance of Pat
O. Hawcs , who Is responsible for the settle
ment as agreed to by the council , Is , it Is
alleged , a fraud. It shows the or net location
of but a few of the shnntlcs , and only takes
In the territory from Sixth street cast to the
river , and Lcavcnworth and Marcy streets ,
whllo the understanding all along has been
that the territory to bo cleared was that
south of Jackson and cast of Sixth. Mr.
Werner himself resides nt the intersection
of Fourth and Marcy streets , and has the
most spacious and palatial residence * of them
all. Ho prob.illy took the view that the
preparing of the map would entitle him to
an occupancy of the street , and ho neglected
to show the location of his house on tliomap ,
nor docs his name appear on the list of these
with whom settlement was to bo effected.
Another peculiar feature is thatsomoof
the squatters approached by the sergeant
were surprised that some ono had agreed for
thorn to remove from the streets , when In
fact It Is that same thing that they most
strenuously object to. As for Pat O. Hawcs ,
they insist that they have never heard of
that gentleman. They have rrcaru it ru
mored , so they tell , that a lawyer was to get
money If they moved , but they did not know
that the city was to plvo thorn a cent
for vacating the strrets. A largo percent
age af the squatters are Ignorant to the ex
treme , and It uould seem that some ono has
been Imposing upon them and taking advan
tage of tholr limited knowledge of such mat
ters.
ters.Tho
The council adopted the proposition to.
effect the settlement on the recommendation
of Mr. Hascall , chairman of the committee
on police , which had the matter In ham ! .
The map prepared by Werner was accepted
as correct by the council , upon the snyso of
Mr. Hnsciill and Mr. Hawes. Its correctness
was not Inquired into and the engineering
department was not asked to investigate.
Cliiof Scavoy sajtf that his men have done
all they can in the matter. All of the squat
ters have been Interviewed and hut a few
are preparing to move. The Werner map is
incorrect and misleading and cannot bo ro
lled upon.
When Mayor Bcmls' attention was called
to this matter hcrcqucstcd the citv engineer
ing department to prepare a map showing the
lines of the streets and the location of the
abodes of the squatters. This is being done
and the map will soon bo In readiness.
What the future course of the ofllcials will
bo is not yet decided upon. It now looks
as if some other stens than those contem
plated by the proposed peaceable settlement
will have to bo taken. The squatters are
loth to leave the urescnt hamtation and do
not take to the terms of that settlement
with the alacrity It was hoped.
Judge Haucs Insists that his agreement is
all right.

City Attorney Will Huvo a Word on the
' raving Mmlillo.
City Attorney Connell returned yesterday
morning from Chicago , where ho has been
with Mrs. Connell sightseeing at the fair. Mr.
and Mrs. Council-witnessed the terrible con
flagration Monday afternoon , from an ad
vantageous position , being nearly on a level
with the roof of the destroyed building. Ho
gives a graphic description of the scones
enacted during the few minutes when the
lives of twenty bravo llromon wcro sac-
rillccd. They saw the doomed men as
ono after another leaped from the cupola to
meet an Instant death. At ono time Mr.
Connell counted twenty-seven llrcmcn on the
platform surrounding the tower , huddled to
gether and waiting for the fate that was to
claim them. One bravo fellow stopped to the
edge and leaped , and then in one , two and
three order the others lolloped , with the ex
ception of one , whom ho witnessed go down
with thp tower as it collapsed.
Mr. Connell will remain in the city for a
few days. He says that ho had no intention
of the paving cuso going over until Septem
ber , and his stipulation with Attorney Hall
was not to that effect , but only to give him
two additional days In which to Hie tils
Driofs so that no further moves for delays
would bo possible. Mr. Council will make a
public statement of the matter.
