NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS
Figures from the Late Election Show that
Nothing Got Away in Pottawattimie.
, ! AGER WINS Bf A WONDERFUL MAJORIp
Unvo Nearly 4,000 Over .Jim tin-
lumper County Uniccrt All Klcctoit by
Good , Safe t'lurnlltlcii What
tlio Jtcturus Show.
That Pottawattamle county and the Ninth
congressional district are republican by n
handsoma majority was placcO beyond all
possible doubt by the returns that came In
yc.terday. The republicans were not pre
pared for so sweeping a victory , but thej
accepted the sltuat.on gracefully. Nor were
the democrats looking for such a crushing
defeat. They made no effort to secure com
plete returns , for their case was hopeless , and
the republicans did llkewlte , because they
didn't have to.
The republican committee early In the day
from the official returns , as they were
brought Into the office of the county nu.ll-
tor , claimed that the congressional district
would be republican by a majority of 3,500
and dur'ng the day they found no reason foi
changing their estimate. The returns from
Ilockford , Washington and Waveland town
ships did not come In during the day , but It
Is estimated that Hflger's majority In th-
county will reach 400 , and m.iy be , l'i cxcct
of that figure.
The entire county ticket Is elected by the
republicans by major ties ranging anywhere
from 225 to 1,000 , such majorities In &
county that has been noted * for having at
least one contested election a year being
almost a miracle. Matthews heads the list
with a majority of about 1,009 , and Reed
comes next , with more than 900. Saunders -
ders and Shepard each have a decidedly safe
majority of COO , and Auld and Kearney arc
elected supervisors by majorities of between
200 and 300. The reason for the downcome
of the majorities on supervisor * 1 es Iti the
fact that a special effort was made to reelect -
elect Black , and with that end In view Hough
was slaughtered everywhere he had to be.
The only bad news from a republican stand
point was from Shelby county , and that was
not bad enough to hurt. Judge Macy cam.
In from Harlati yesterday and stated that the
people of that county put In all ot Tuesday
night celebrating what they supposed was a
republican victory with comfortable majori
ties for all candidates. When they
awakened yesterday morning they found that
the county had gone democrat c by a small
figure , and that Weaver was credited up with
a small majority.
There Is not the slightest doubt of the elec
tion of the republican candidates for Judges
of the district court. Everything that could
be done was done by the democrats to hlaclccn
the reputation of Judges Thorn * ! ! , Smith and
Green , but It was useless , for they were too
well known. H Is estimated that their ma
jorities will be nearly as large as was that
of Hager.
The last of the returns came In last even
ing late , on the county ticket , and here they
are : .
Hager , 5,115 ; Weaver , 4,791 : Hager's ma
jority , 324.

In that vicinity. In his communication he
stated that he was compelled to carry many
of the pupils across the streets In muddy

The barbers' Sunday closing ordinance
came up for final consideration. Two re
monstrances were presented , one of them

The Dodge Light Guards arc having target
shooting every Sunday on the Union Pacific |
dump. The rules of the Iowa National
Guards provide that each member shall fire
fifteen shots before November 30 , and that
Is the reason for the shooting being done
with so. much energy Just now. Fifteen
shots are first'fired by each militiaman at a
distance of 200 yards. It ho makes a score
of 49 per cent , the target Is moved to B
distance of 300 yards. If he makes anothe
40 per cent , It is moved 500 yards away ,
and a 40 per cent score at ! hls distance
entitles him to bo called a marksman. If
ho falls to make 40 per cent on the first
trial , he is not required to make any mart
attempts , although he may do KO If he
wishes , and the government will furnish him
as many rounds.of ammunition as ho wants.
One reason why so much Interest Is taken
In making a good record for the Individual
members Is that the result of the target
practice counts 30 per cent on Inspection , to
that on the efforts now made depends in
some measure the standing of the company
among the other companies of the state.
Some complaint has been made by the
church people because the order was Issued
for practice on Sunday. They hold that
after this subject was so decisively dealt
with by President Cleveland It should not
have been brought to the front again. Cap
tain W. E. Altchlson states that there was
no order for Sunday practice Issued , but
merely a request. If the boys do not care
to heed the request , they need net do so ,
but may arrange their practice for week
days. He says about seven or eight of the
Guards usually go out each Sunday in
charge of a commissioned ofllc-r. I

DIED OF JOY.
An Inventor Ilnnbl.t to U'ltliatiiml tliu Trl
niiipli of SuccexH.
The death of Rev. Edward F. Roberts of
Rochester. N. Y. , at the hotel Arne , Wash
ington , D , C. , on Friday , Is the en * of a
story peculiarly sad and pathetic , says the j |
Rochester Union. It Is the case of a man
killed by Joy. A true chronicle of a strug
gling Inventor whose worn-out llfo passed :
cwav as soon as the success ho labored for ,
was within his grasp. He died penniless ,
and within avcek ho would have received ; |
$50.000.
Six years ago Mr. Roberts Invented n cash I
register , said to pasjess marked advantages I
over other machines. Since that time ho
has perfected MR patents and worked un
ceasingly to organize a company to put the
machine upon the market. A number of
Rochester business men Inspected the de
vice at the Chamber of Commerce during
the autumn and were Impressed with Its
value. Last Monday , after several weeks of
uncertainty , the formation of the company
was practically completed and Mr. Roberts
was to receive $50,000 for his Invention. Ho
went to Washington to make a final search
In the patent office In order to assure the
company that everything was all right.
His Inspection resulted In the certainty that
there could be no danger of litigation , and
the fortune was within his crasp. The re
lief and Joy was more than his poor over
worked body could stand. On Thursday a
blood vessel burst In his brain. He fell Into a
state of unconsciousness , from which there
was no hope of recovery. To hasten the ( I
end , however , a heavy cold on the lungs de
veloped Into pneumonia , and he died on Fri
day afternoon.
Mrs. Roberts , with one of the gentlemen '
who had organized the company , hastened
to WushlnEton , but arrived too late. They
found the Inventor dead.

NEW YORK , Nov. 7. Returns for the
vote In this cl y &nJ Brooklyn on the "Greater
New York" proposition Indicate that a ma
jority ot the votes have been In favor ot
consolidation. A tabulation of the returns
at police headquarters this morning shows
that the vote In this city on the consolida
tion Issue Is , In round "figures , 118,000 for
,
and 83,000 against. It Is evident from re
turns that a large portion of voters neglected
to cast i their ballots upon this question.
iIi
It Is estimated that the majority In New
York City In. favor of consolidation will reach
at least 30,000. In Brooklyn the late re
turns show a total vote of 61,695 , for and
52,927 ! against the proposition , which makes
it : evident * that the people of the two cities
have given their approval to the plan of
consolidating the two municipalities by a
good majority ,
The scheme for the "Greater New York"
proposes the consolidation under one city
government of New York and Brooklyn , the
gowh
whole of Richmond and Kings counties , with
portions of Westchcster and Queens.
potT whole area covered by the "Greater
Now York" will comprl.o more than 317
square miles. Accord ng to the last census
the population of the cities , counties and
towns which It is proposed to combine as
the "Greater New Yolk" Is only a few hun
dred thort of 3,000,000. , The cities. Include
New York , Brooklyn and Long Island City ,
then Richmond county and the towns of
thtV
Westchester ( , Flushing , Newton and Jamaica ,
and also covers , under the provisions of the
bl 11 , those portions of the towns of East Ches
ter and Pelham which He to the couth of a
straight line drawn from the point where the
stQr
northerly line of the city of New York meets
the center line of the Bronx river to the middle
die of thn channel between Glen Island and
Hunters Island in Long Island sound , to
gether with that portion of the town of
Ilempstead which ls to the west of a straight
line drawn from the southeasterly po nt of
the town of Flushing through the middle of
the channel between Rockaway beach and
Ashelter Island to the Atlantic ocean.
In the bill which refers to the subject
provisions were only made for an expression
of opinion on the part of the people as to
the advisability of consolidating , and that Is
what the vote of yesterday means. The
consolidation will not take effect until the
legislative provision shall be made upon the
subject of taxation , refunding of debts , etc.

contrived to make things Interesting for four
officers of the Desplalncs street police station
early this morning. The club got out Ha
banners and hired several bands of music
and started down Halstead street to cele
brate the clos ? of election. They were in a
state of glee over the gains the republicans
had made In the country , and many of them
were drinking. Several were armed with
revolvers , which they fired In the air as they
marched along. The crowds along the
streets through which they passed hooted and
jeered them , and the Italians returned the
salutations in kind. At Madison street they
turned eait on that thoroughfare. John
Dempsey was standing on the sidewalk. He
shouted , "See the dagos. " A stalwart
Hal.an saw Dempsey and started for him.
A crowd of the marchers followed the leader
and Dempsey was seen tunning down Madl-
4on street at the top of his speed followed
by a crowd of hooting Italians. He turned
Into Canal street , but nt Monroe street was
caught by the crowd and severely beaten.
Tii9 Desplalncs ttreet patrol wagon , with
Offlcsrs McWIlllams and O'Day on board ,
came to Dempsey's rescue. They succeeded
In driving back the crowd and putting Demp
sey into the wagon. The crowd then closed
In about the olllcjrs , and It looked terlous for
them for a moment. They drew their re
volvers and kept the crowd at bay by firing
several shots Into the air. Two other offi
cers came to their assistance and succeeded
In dispersing the- crowd , twelve of whom were
arrested and locked up in the Desplalncs
street station. There was the greatest ex
citement in the vicinity of Madison and Canal
streets for a time. Demp.ey was severely
but not dangerously Injured.

Serious KcHults I'ollorvlmr Oxurliiilulgoncc
In Tnbitrro.
The symptoms of overindulgence In smok-
ng are more or less clearly defined , says Dr.
Dunn In the Nineteenth Century. They maybe
bo caused In one or two ways In the upper
classes by smoking too much ; In the lower
by smoking too strong tobacco. The toxic
effects of tobacco among the lower classes
arc comparatively not infrequent. The form
which the poisoning takes Is that known to
ophthalmic curgeons as "tobacco amblyopla. "
The men come to hospitals complaining of
loss of sight. Commonly they are found
to be bootmakers , or those to whom
the opportunity occurs of smoking while
they are at work. In most cases there Is a
serious failure- vision. Associated with
this is the loss of perception for the colors
red1 and green , which is confined to the cen
tral part of the retina. The diagnosis , however -
over , having been made , the treatment is
easy enough. Practically this resolves Itscl"
Into the emphatic prohibition of all smoking ,
It Is always best to give the patients in
structions to burn their pipes. As long as
an old "trusty friend" is permitted to He on
the mantelpiece or anywhere within sight nnd
reach the temptation becomes almost Irre
slstlblo to disobey orders , and In the luxury
of renewing a valued companionship to for
get the strict Injunctions against Indulging In
the habit which had been laid down.
Almost invariably In these cases ovcrin
diligence la found to consist in smoking 1ml
an ounce of shag dally that Is to say , when
the surgeon asks the patient : "How much di
you smoke ? " It Is seldom that any othei
answer Is given than that of "about half an
ounce oV shag a day. " The constancy of thii
reply Is really remarkable. "Tobacco am
blyopla" is almost unknown In connection
with any other form of tobacco than tha
which Is called "shag. " In addition to thi
amblyopla the patients ore distinctly affccte
with "tobacco tremors ; " their hands nn
shaky , they are more or less nervous ,
they complain of loss of appetite. Their com
plexlons , moreover , ore In that condltio
which may be described as "muddy , " an
there Is a characteristic expression of list
lessncss In their eyca. But what are the re
suits of the treatment ? In most cases th
surgeon may speak hopefully of the recover ;
of vision ; provided that the patient absolute ! ;
ceases to smoke , and certain treatment bi
applied , some Improvement will begin to tak
place in the course of a fortnight. Alwayi
very gradually , but generally speaking
surely , the Improvement progresses , untl
at the end of some weeks the lost sight 1 ;
nearly or quite regained. Most commonly ,
however , the surgeon never sees the end of
the cases. Generally speaking , as soon as
the patient finds that his sight Is sufficiently
Improved to enable him to attend to his work

OVERBEAOHED HJM3ELF.

< > ri-rd.
A few years ago there was great excitement
n this country , occasioned by efforts of Kng-
Ish capitalists to get possession ot various
American Industries , tays the Washington
* ost. Our breweries were the most con-
plcuous objects ot this movement , and many
f them passed Into the ownership and control
f English syndicates. But the transfer was
not effected without protest. Grave fears
ivcre expresaed by numerous newspapers and
jiublle men that the consequences of such a1
change would bo Injurious to this country.
n reply to this suggestion It was delicately
nthnatcd that In making bargains Jonathan
was not at all likely to be overreached by
John ; that the properties were being solder
or cash , nd that the Increase of
money In the country was a very desirable
thing. So , tn spite ot opposition , the sales
went on for some months , and breweries ,
flouring mills , etc. , were purchased by Eng
lish syndicates at valuations considered In
excess of those placed on them by assessors
for taxes In the municipalities where they
were located. In other words , the owners got
their prices and the buyers were satisfied.
Both sides were , therefore , In n happy frame
of mind , But this mutual felicity was not
destined to perpetuity. Almost every gale
that sweeps from the east brings to our cars
a wail from the English buyers. They claim
that they paid too high prices for the cov
eted properties. Worse than that , they howl
about "deception" and "fraud" practiced by
"the unscrupulous Americans. " The earn
ing capacity of the breweries and mills has
not come up to expectations. The lookcd-for
dividends IIHVO not come to linnd. The Lon
don Financial Chronlclo says :
"If any class of enterprise looked promising
ns an outlet for English capital It was the
better sort , of American breweries. They
showed rapid development , ministered to a
great and growing necessity and seemed to
be embarked on n highly prosperous career.
Unfortunately , the majority of the brewery
companies floated over have belled expecta
tions and Investors have consequently been
sorely hit , not only In the Io > s of the ex
pected Income , but also In Uie ruinous de
preciation of their shares. "
Another prominent British financial organ
discourses after this fashion :
"What with American railroads going Into
the hands of receivers , American mines turnIng -
Ing out to be barefaced swindles nnd Ameri
can breweries unable to meet their fixed
charges , capitalists are getting very sick of
the land of stars and stripes especially
stripes. Our enterprising Cousin Jonathan
does not give us much of a 'look In' when
he comes over here to scoop up our dollars.
In nine cases out of ten he Is associated
with one of tuo thing' , an Impudent fraud
or a colossal overcapitalization. "
"Cousin Jonathan" did not go to England
to sell the properties referred to certainly
not to sell mills nnd breweries. John came
here ho came , he saw , nnd he thought he
conquered. Ho exercised his own judgment
In making purchases , Doubtless he pnld too
much in some Instances , but that was his
own mistake , made with Ills eyes \\ldo open.
If "fraud" was practiced our courts were
open to hear complaints and redress wrongs.
But if , as wo suppose was the cnso , John
limply made bad bargains In his voracious
desire to Invest , he should not make hlnuclf
ridiculous by yelling "fraud , "
