HARD CONTEST FOR THE SCHOOL BOARD \Vllllniu Moore nnd Jncoli Slum Ar IloouIvltiK Much Oiitnlilc Support AuMrnllim Ilnllot Will Not lie Until. The Indications are that one of the hardes fought school elections In the recent hlstor of the city will occur tomorrow. There nr so many antagonistic Interests Involved tha a fight of large proportions haa resulted Many of the democrats are opposing thcl party nominees , and an even greater numbe of republicans will do the same thing. Ther Is no particular reason for this opposition and It can only bo traced to the persona differences that grew out ot the strong fac tlonal fight over the election ) of the stipcrln tendcnt of schools last summer. Although It If ) generally believed that the result of thi election on Monday will determine whcthc : or not this factional fight shall again be reopened there Is really little ground foi the belief. H the democrats should clec both ot their men they will still be one short of a .majority . In the board , and cense qucntly unable to make any change In the school supcrlntcndcncy , and It one rcpub Menu and one democrat are elected , they wll be still further away from nower. The withdrawal of A. Whltclaw , nominated by the democrats , made It necessary for the party leaders to get some other strong man nnd they naturally turned to AVIIllam Moore who consented to make the race only after the most persistent urging. He Strved one term with honor to himself and credit to his party and got all the experience he wanted No amount of urging could Induce him to consent to take the vacant place on his party ticket until his former.collcague , W. H Thomas , joined In the request. His reluc tance to run will not give him his full party strength , but this weakness will be more than compensated by the aid he will receive from republicans who have selected as their candidates , Moore and Jacob Sims , the scconi republican candidate. They freely predict their choice ot candidates Indicates the result of the election. There Is no Just reason why Dr. Snyder , the other republican candidate , should be slaugh tered , for ho has made an excellent , though wmcwhat aggressive member of the boatd. His attitude on several matters connected with the public schools will cause a number of democrats to vote for him , and lite friends hcrie that this will fully compensate- the loss of the republicans who are oppposlng him. him.Mr. Mr. Tyrol ] , the other democatlc candi date , ID a new man lu the city , and is com paratively unknown , although he Is said to be an old school teacher , amply qualified for the duties of a member of the board. There Is no party objection to him , and he will poll the full party strength. A careful review of the situation last night Indicated that there was a great probability of the republicans electing both of their men. The Australian ballot will not be used , and the voting will be easy and sim ple , like It used to be. McKliTlfv 7 McKInley is now president of the United States.

Joseph Buck , arrested as the chief of fender In the. raid upon the motor com pany's property In the driving park , was discharged and exonerated 'In Justice Vien's court yesterday. The result was accom plished partly by the application of a some what novel theory , and chiefly by the fact that the- evidence submitted by the state was confined to the confession of Stamey and Bates , the two boys firat arrested. The Iowa criminal law does not recognlzo the confessions of criminals Implicating each other as being good evidence , and it is only idmUslblo whore It Is corroborated by other testimony. The novel theory was evolved by the attorney employed by 'Buck. . Ho moved for the- discharge of his client upon Iho grcunds that the Information was de fective and that the crime charged against liim , even If true , was not one recognized by the criminal code. His theory was that the stolen trolley wlro was not personal property , but realty , which could not bo stolen. It was not on the earth where It could bo picked up and carried away , but was attached to poles planted In the ground , mid this made the property realty. The court , however , held that If It was realty whllo suspended In the air the thieves would have to show that they had wings or used a balloon In cutting It down and carrying It away without permitting It to touch the earth , , for when It came Into con tact with the earth It became personal prop erty , To tear It down constituted mall- slous mischief ; to carry It away after It was down made It larceny , The theory of the attorney helped to Increase th weak ness of the state's case , and the wldo vari ance of the stories told by the boyn left the court no other course than to discharge the prisoner.

Social features have been very scarce In Council Bluffs society during the week. The deadening Influence of Lent was felt even before- mada Its advent. There have only been the customary club meetings and balls , .tho former scattered throughout thn week and the latter chiefly confined to the first days. The most successful concert of the season was given at tno Congregational church last Tuesday evening to a large and appreciative audience. The chorus In eighteenth century costume numbered fifty voices , showing the excellent training given them by Mrs. George M. Durkco In the rendition of five numbers of the program. After the chorus "Strike Ye Cymbals , " "ye lettlo menne and womenno- ' Babe Reed , Lucia Rallsback , Florence Otis , Russell Nichols , Charlie Wollman and Lloyd Simmons with graceful courtesies and .stately bows , sang the quaint old song , "Grandma's Advice , " which was warmly applauded. The song by Miss Stella Mclntlre was enthusiastically received , as was also the chorus , "Red , Whlto and Blue , " by the choir. The Scotch song by Mrs. Mullls was rendered In her usual pleasing style. "Auld Lang Syne , " by the chorus , brought to mind the long ago. An "Old Hymn , " by Mrs. Woods , was ono of the most real of the old-tlmo pieces on the program , bringing to mind the picture ot the old log meeting house , the lone singer as she quavered through the lines without an organ. Mrs. Durkce led the chorus In sing ing "Cousin Jcdedlah. " The gem of the evening was < ho "Dream Song , " by Mrs. MacLeren of Chicago , which won an en thusiastic encore. Following this was a "splnette piece" by Miss Snydcr. Mrs. Wakcflold then sang In her best style two songs , winning an encore , as did also a recitation given by Mrs. A. W. Johnson. In the language of the program , a "fiddle piece" was next given by Margaret Mcllrlde In an artistic manner. Then came'Mrs. Mullls , dressed as a spinster , and sang the most amusing number of the evening , "Sixty-two , " which excited a tumult of ap plause. In answer to an encore she sang the refrain , "You'll teen be sixty-two , " shaking her cane toward a certain bachelor In the audience. "Hark ! Apollo Strikes the Lyre , " by the chorus , closed the program , so well planned by Mcsdames Leverett and Haverstock , there being just enough of the songs of today to be a contrast to these of "Ye olden tymc. " Miss Gertrude Glea- eon , In a quaint yellow gown , with pow dered locks , presided at the piano. As she played "The Grand March" at the opening of the program _ the choir passed silently down each aisle , each one In costume of a hundred or more years ago the ladles so fair , the men so brave. Mr. Bellinger , In colonial attire , very kindly assisted the com mittee .by announcing each number of the program. His good wife , dressed In blue silk and a white brocaded bonnet , fully one hun dred years old , sat near a lady looking llko Abigail Adams. Mrs. King , In court cos tume of white satin , Misses Jones , Oils , Ar nold and Grass ; Messrs. Allen , Brown and Rlshel looked stately enough to dance the minuet. The demure Quakeress , Grace Barr , was attired in a genuine gown and bonnet of ancient date. The Puritan maiden , Miss Coker , as well as many others , were fair to look upon. The cut on the out- Fide of the program was drawn by Mrs. Ilailsback. Council Blurts people always feel an In terest In the success achieved by any of the young people who are struggling to win favor abroad , and the remarks of a Plttsburg paper concerning a talented young musician who was born and reared here will be read with nterest : "Frank Badbllet , who baa had three se'asons In Plttsburg , is certainly one of the most artistic young flute players In : he country. It Is a question how much longer Plttsburg can hold on to a man of such talent as his , but for the present 'tb.6 city Is to be congratulated on having so promising a young musician filling so , im- wrtant a place. " Captain B. B. Gardiner and Mrs. Gardiner celebrated their thlrty-snventh wedding an niversary yesterday at their pleasant home on South First street.

( Special Tclo- gram.-j-Tho ) fifth Itplelatlvo assembly of South Dakota , ended Its work xvllh the ap propriation bill , which was finally passed about G o'clock this morning. The governor In his message at the opening1 of the session asked that the general appropriation bill bo reported not later than the thlrty-flfth day of the ewslon and It waa' given out that the bill would not bo allowed to go to the clos ing hour of this reform legislature for ac tion , but It dlil , Jttet the same. Tlio house work was merely routine , the only bills of Importance being the- revenue commission on reconsideration and the bill for county uniformity of text boohs , The senate having amended the house bill for the roJuctlon of Interest , the house refused to concur and the Interest rate remains the eamo as before the beginning of the pres ent session. The main Interest was In the senate , whcro It was expected that mi effort would bo made to reconsider the vote by which the bill reorganizing the Hoard of Charities and Corrections wna killed and the appointments were to be announced. The inovo to reconsider was carried out and the half-hundred hungry populists who were ex pecting something out of this bill will remain hungry. This bill could nut have been killed without the assistance of Senator Palmer , and whllo the populists are cursing him , the republicans are willing to forgive htm for all past political sins for this one act of re pentance , The following appointments re announced : 1'or the Hoard of Hi-cents : C. N. ilerrlcd of Eureka , P. A. Spafford of Plamlrcau , . W. Hair of Aberdeen , H. II. Ulalr of Sioux Kails , L. M. Hough of Sturglsj for oil Inspector specter , H. I , . Dowdell of AVooneocUct ( M. T.

Klngsbury of Yank- ton , In place of Z. M. Ulchy , term expired ; for trustees of Soldiers' Home , Harvey Gl- gers&n of Vcrmllilon and A. Von Osdel of Yankton. Business at the state house was practically at a stamlslll at an early hour this morning , all resting up from last night. About the only matter of Interest today Is the ques tion of appropilatlons , which some esti mate as high us $1,000,000 , and the final footings of general appropriation and spe cial bills will take It very near that figure. The total general appropriation is practi cally $ SGO,000 , whllo special appropriations will carry it beyond the $900,000 mark , but just how far Is not yet known. The gen eral appropriation carries about $100,000 more than did the bill at the 1895 session , notwithstanding the party In power was pledged to retrenchment. The members are all anxious to get away , but the severe snow storm of today held up all trains and they will have tq wait until tomorrow. HURON , S. U. , March 0.

Governor Lord was asked whether ho Intended to appoint a United States senator , and If so whether ho thought his appointee would be seated. He said : "I shall appoint a senator , but whether ho will be seated or not I cannot say. It Is only by some sort of specious analogy that the facts In the Oregon case can bo brought within the principle recently declared by the senate. I understand the latest ruling of the senate Is that when the legislature falls to elect a- senator during Its session the power of the governor to appoint Is ilenled. To my mind the vacancy In the senate was caused by reason of the failure to organize and become a competent body to elect a senator , and Is a very different matter from the failure of a duly organized body to choosa a senator. I do not know at what time or If at any time I shall convene special session of the legislature. " IIviiilcrNon TomleriMl a Seiin ATLANTA , March C. A special dispatch to the !

DANGER IN SODA , Serious HoMtiUn Sometime * Kollorr IM KxovnxUe UNO. Common soda Is all right ! n Its place and Indispensable In the kitchen and for cookIng - Ing and washing purpotes , but It was never Intended for a medicine , and people who use It as surh will some day regret It. Wo refer to the common use of soda to relieve heartburn or sour stomach , a habit which thousands ot people practice almost dally , and ono which Is fraught with danger ; moreover , the soda only gives temporary re lief and in the end the stomach trouble gets worse and worse. The soda acts ns a mechanical Irritant to the walls of the stomach and bowels and cases are on re-cord whcro It accumulated In the Intestines , causing death by Inflamma tion or peritonitis. Dr. Harlandson recommends as the safest and surest euro for cour stomach ( acid dys pepsia ) an excellent picpniatlon sold by druggists under the narno ot Stuart's DJ-K- pepsin Tablets. These , tablets arc large 20 grain lozenges , very pleasant to taste and contain the natural acldv , peptones and iH- sostlvo elements o. sontlul lo good digestion , and when taken after meals they digest the food perfectly and promptly before It has time to ferment , sour and poison the blood and nervous s.t.ttcin. Dr. Wtiortl1 states that he Invariably uses Stuait's Dyspepsia Ttablets In all rasca ot stomach derangements and finds them a cer tain cure not only for tour stomach , but by promptly digesting the food they create a healthy appetite , lncre.iso flesh nnd strength en the action of the heart and liver. They are not a cathartic , hut Intended only for stomach disease and weakness , and will bo found reliable In any btomach trouble ex cept cancer of the stomach.
