Dr.Glmrcol'B Kola Nervine Tablets never CLOSE OF QUIET CAMPAIGN Party Managers in Pottawattamio County Beat on Their Oars , HEAVY REPUBLICAN VOTE IS EXPECTED DcnmernlH Have 1'alled to Airiikcn Any KiillitiNliixin , lint the Voter * on Other Side Have All Turned Out tu HeitNter. The quietest election campaign ever con ducted tn Council Bluffs and Pottawattamio county Is drawing tu a close. In the begin ning of Uif campaign there was abundant promise of the usual activity. The republi can party managers prepared with the usual cire for the fight they supposed was com ing and they entered the campaign with as strong a party organization ns ever con fronted their political enemies In any con test. The democratic organization was strong and symmetrical at the start , and there was enough enthusiasm manifest to make. It Interesting all around. But as the campaign grow older Interest flagged. The complete and utter collapse of the demo cratic state cimpalgn discouraged the local managers and they gave the fight for votes bub a half hearted support. The republicans have had only ono campaign spech made In the city. The democrats tried to have sev eral jnd failed utterly to have even one , al though they brrught here their best oa- : torg , Including their chief candidate. This condition of affairs , It was feared , might In duce an apathy among republicans that might seriously decrease the voto. but that danger , being early foreseen , was well guarded against. Every republican In the city and county had been warned of the dan ger cf staying away from the polls and the apathy that was feared has given place tea a laudable ambltlrn to KCO just how large the republican majority can bo made for ill of the candidates. That the republican vote In the city will be excecdlnly large Is evidenced by the extraordinary Increase In the registration ot republican voters in all of the precincts. In some ot the precincts this Increase has amounted to as high as 100 votes , while there has been n decrease in the regular democratic registration. If these pro-elcctl n symptoms can be rc'led upon th.- prediction that the republican vote will bo heavier thnn In the presidential election' of last year tan bo made with safety. Speculatfon Is naturally Indulged In as to which of the republican candidates will ro- celvo the largest majority. By common con sent William Arnd has been selected for this honor. When he was elected to the posi tion of county treasurer two years ago his business reputation convinced the people that their cash would be safe In his care , and they gave him a majority that con veyed more than ordinary compliment. Ills management of the most responsible office In the county has l > cen such that his political opponents have been obliged to admit that It has been faultless. The democrats early In tha campaign abandoned , hope of electing any but two candidates Nick O'Brien for sheriff and Prof. Sawyer for county superintendent of schools and they have been concentrating their energies In the liope that they can carry them through. They are undoubtedly the strongest candidates on the ticket and their friends are making good use of the fact. O'Brien's friends are making an ex- tracrdlmrlly strong campaign with Nick popularity as their chief card , supplemented by their firm blle > f that he bas earned the election by suffering himself to become a target for Mcllugh's bullets. They are ton- fronted by the unimpeachable character of Sheriff 'Morgan and his faultless record In office. Still , the fact cannot be disguised that the whole fight Is on the sheriff , and O'Brien Is the strongest candidate his ( party could have put up.

IndreNtliinStatlMtlex from ( he Itepnrt of the Superintendent of MIxxloiiN. HURON , S. D. , Oct. 31. ( Spccl.ll. ) Some very interesting facts are pro. eonted by Dr. T. M. Shanafclt of this city , superintendent of Baptist missions for 'South ' Dakota , In his annual report , just completed. Although the work of building houses of worship , parsonages , etc. , has been somewhat retarded because ol the stringency of money some progress in thcso lines has been made. In spiritual things there hdii been evidence of advancement and the year lus been a very gratifying one. Efforts have bcert directed more particularly to strengthening and building up weak churches rather than to the organization ol now ones. Ono house of worship was built at Bradley and ono at Durton , In Miner county. Three now churches wcro organized , one at llaytl , Hamlln county , and ono each at Vernon and Wllmot , In Roberts county. These two churches are within the limits of the old Sissetou Indian reservation aivl In fields that have not heretofore been occupied by this denomination. Four theological students from Chicago labored during the summer In various parts of the state with much suc cess. They organize } ono church and de veloped a number of outstotlons. Thirty con verts wcro baptized and taken Into churches by the efforts ot those studentn. In the Black Hills the work has made marked progress. All the churches cxcep two In that district have good houses of wor ship , and reports submitted at the late meet ing of the Black Hills association showci that cighty-flvo persons had been baptizoi and taken Into church fellowship In lint dls trlct during the year. This la the grratcs number of accessions In any ono of the elgh associations. A1 school of forty or more Btu dents , all Chinese , Is connected with the church at Deadwood1 ; It Is conducteJ by the pastor and members ot the church. The church at Lead City also has a small Chinese school connected with It. Nine of that na tionollty have united with the churches there and ono has gone to Clilm to labor as a mis slonary among his people , and two others are preparing to take up the tame line ot work During the year the churches raised $2,100 for home missions , thus securing from the Homo Missionary society $8,000. There are thirteen German and 'Russian ' Baptls churches In the state , all In proBpcrous con d'ltlon. There are alto a number of churches composed of Swedes , Danes and Norwegians They are concentrated In what Is known as the Scandinavian Conference associations with Rev. Jacob Olaon as superintendent who la now completing his thirteenth year o such service. Forty-ono missionaries have labored In different r"rts of the state the past year , supplying fifty-two churches am ttvlrty-elglit oiitstatlons. The total number o Baptist cnurcheu In the etato Is 104 , with a membership ot 0,735 , of which 195 were re ceived the last year by baptism and 143 by letter and experience.

( Special. ) In this , the Fourth circuit , the struggle for judge to 1)0 decided by the voters Tues day lus assumed an Interesting phase. There are three candidates in the field Judge Smith , republican ; II , F. Fellows , democrat and F , M. Ooodykoontz , frco silver repub lican , who was nominated by the popullsllc portion ot the Lce-1'ettlgrew machine. The democrats , who In the last campaign cheer fully supported populists and free silver re publicans < wltbout receiving a single olllce In return , thU yew itlll favored fusion In this Ircult , tut wanted a member of their party . made the Candidae ; ot the three wings OM..O i ree silver torcca. Many of the populism 1 ilso favored recognizing the democMtB , but he Lee-Pettlgrew faction , which had for nonths been determined to nominate Goody- coontz , had control of the populist convcn- lon and carried Its lalo through , after reatlng the overtures of the democrats with disdain. The democrats were naturally In censed at their treatment by the popullsta and nominated a candidate of their own. The > osltlon of the free silver republican papers n the circuit , of which there are two , Is quite interesting. They arc supportng Uoodykoontz , the populist nominee , which convlnce-s the democrats that they can In the ulurc consider the silver republican papers opponents of their party unless they surren der their organization and support populist or free silver republican nominees. The dem ocrats have also been greatly angered by the policy pursued by the silver republican ind populist papers In reference to Judge 'cllows , the democratic candidate. They iavo sought to discredit the manner In which 10 was nominated , accusing him of being the : andldata of the gold democrats , ot whom here were but a tow In the dcuioocratlc circuit convention. Judge Fellows Is , In 'act , ono of the original sliver men In the state and has always been loyal to that cause. Qoodykoontz , compared with Fellows , s only a raw recruit and has from the first Jeen a candidate for office at the hands of ho sltvcrltcs , aspiring to various offices rom United States senator down. The dcmo- : ntB throughout the circuit are unanimous n the determination to teach their former allies n lesson , realizing that It can be done at a minimum cost In this campaign nnd for that reason will support their own candi date. The election of Judge Smith , the re publican candidate , Is conceded by many democrats. It Is not necessary to call a doctor for a cuter or bruise ; get Salvation Oil. Only 23 cts.

Xew Viyk Divines Analyze < lie Char- aefer of Henry fSenrBe. NEW YORK , Oct. 31. "An Ideal City" was the subject of the sermon delivered to day by Rev. MInot J. Savage In the Church of the Messiah. During his discourse the preacher said Henry George was a man whr through his life consecrated himself to the welfare of the people. "He poured out to the people" Dr. Savage said , "the sympathy of his heart ns well as his physical strength and Jie died a martyr to his cause. He Is a man to hold up for emulation and the mag nificent spirit and consecration with which ho gave himself , heart and soul , to hla cause. If we only had 10,000 men who cared half as much for the city's welfare as Hnnrv George did It would bo ono of the most glor ious cities of the world. We need men who appreciate the Importance of making this a glorious cl'y. ' " At the conclusion of an address on "Pres ent Political Conditions" before the Society of Ethical Culture at Carnegie- hall today , Dr. Felix Adler paid a glowing tribute to the memory of Henry George. Ho fold : "At the point In a great campaign for tfie people , when the excitement wasi Intense , the wlerd HgtU of a tmgedy Illumines the field. His friends and opponents foes ho had none have joined In a tribute to his memory. In reviewing his career we recognize three dls- tlnco services be rendered to humanity. HP did the most of any man to make the reader , of two continents realize the problem of pov erty. His claim as a writer is secure and ho stoo < l as a great popular leader. An old Greek philosopher , when asked as to whom he considered the hap piest man , named a ruler of Athens , who lived at a time when Athens was In her glory , who had a family to continue his work where ho left off and who died on the field of battle just when his army was on. the point of achieving a brilliant victory. The same might bo said of George. All these conditions apply and ho died In the midst of a great fight for the people whom he loved , on the eve of a glorious victory. It was his sincerity that the people loved. They realized his great love for humanity and respected ' him for It. Whether or not they app'rovcd his Idea for reconstructing society , they loved nnd admired the man. " Rev. Ileber Newton preached at All Souls church today on the "Ethical Issues Before the City. " Ho said : "The tragedy which has befallen our city within the last few hours ought to decide the Issues in the heart of every honest man. A great mind , a noble-hearted man , has fallen a martyr to the city's liberties , the city's honor. Con scious of his physical weakness , yet follow ing the call of the city to him , he plunged into the thick of the fight regardless of himself - self , -though with the presentiment in his soul which ho expressed In that pathetic word of his Cooper Union address : 'I accept your nomination nnd will rfmaln In the fight to the end , though I die In It. ' Of all that I have said as to the ethical aspects of the Issues he was the living embodiment. The Intense earnestness of his moral nature Ud him to plunge almost recklessly Into this battle for the people's rights and liberties. Ho could not bo apathetic. Ho could not be Indifferent when the fate of a city or 3,000,000 souls hung In the balance. Thin Intense earnestness was ono secret of his strange power over the masses of men.

In most of the coun ties the fight has been confined to the county tickets , ami from every county comes the assurance that all or some put of the re- publlcin county ticket will ba elected. At fusion L.atlquarters here the admission Is made that the number of republican county oiUclala In the state will bo largely Increased , but they claim It Is due to local dissensions nnd will not affect the state ticket.

ALUANY , N. Y. , Oct. 31. Twenty-four hours before the close of the campaign finds things as chaotlo os they utivo ever been In Now York state , and this Is duo not to any lack of u well defined Idea of how the vote would run If state Issues alone and the elec tion of an assembly were the prevailing fac tors , but to the Injection of the most Mtter municipal contests that ever prevailed In the cities of the slate. In Greater New York , in Albany , In Rochester , In Sjructisear.il In Buf falo , the five greatest cltlaj of the state , there will close tomorrow uampalgns on local i Issues that have been mv.bly bitter. That I thcso local affairs will have a bearing upon the vote for the only state olllce In contro versy , the chief judgcship of the court of ap peals , must conceded , and that they will have a still greater bearing upon the assem bly district contests Is also apparent. The indications at this writing are that while the contest for chief Judge-ship of the court of appeals will bo a spirited one , the chances arc distinctly In favor of the election of the republican candidate. The belief Is general that the republican vote In central nnd west ern New York , that for the past two or three years has been abnormally large , -will be materially reduced , but tliere arc no Indi cations that it will fall below its own nor mality , which Is to bring down to the city a plurality of 65,000 with which to meet any plurality which the democrats below there can show. In the past two years the plurality in the cities that make up Greater New York has been a republican one and the best compu tation of democrats of their expected plu rality In that district is 35,000 , so that upon their basis of llgures , unless a landslide oc curs , the republican candidate for appeal judge must be elected. The democratic can didate has some advantage , however , In be ing placed twice upon the ' .ticket and In newspaper endorsement nnd these things may prove of greater aid than has been an tlclpatcd. U Is of advantage to remember that to elect a democratic state officer after the tremendous republican pluralities of the past three years would , bo an almost un precedented event. In 1S94 , the republican plurality in 'the state was Ipo.OOO ; In 1895 it was 00,000 and In 1S9G It was 187,000. If any one of these tremendous pluralities Is cut In half It will be a partial victory for the democrats. Within thirty years the demo crats have controlled the legislature but four times In Its two branches and inthat time have elected by joint ballot but three United States senators Kcrnan , who was carried In by the Tllden wave , and Hill and Murphy , elected by the democratic legislature that succeeded what was known as the Hill apportionment. Throughout the state the democrats have made strenuous efforts this fall to Increase the number of democratic members' of the lower house , and It Is evident that success will crown their efforts. Indeed , the repub lican managers have at all times believed that this was not only possible , but highly probable. The next assembly will , however , still be republican by a good majority , but the democrats will accomplish everything for which they are striving , the reduction of the republican majority to such an extent that they may see hope of a democratic houfe In 1S99 , when a successor to Senator Murphy Is to be elected. The- republicans profess to believe that It will be a good thing for the party to have a smaller pro portion of republicans , while still retaining a majority within their party. The localities where the democrats expect to gain most largely are New York and Kings counties. No contest In politics of a purely local nature has ever created such Interest in the up-state counties as has the contest or mayor of Greater New York , and the death of one of tlio foremost candidates has but added to that Interest. From carefully gathered oplii' Ions of republican leaders out of the con fines of the municipality where the contest U occurring. It Is apparent that the general expectations are that Tammany will win and that Mr. Low and Mr. Tracy will have a fight for second place. These prognostica tions are based upon the theory that the normal republican' vote Is very much more avcnly divided among the candidates than Is the democratic vote , and the Information comes from such reliable sources that It is hardly to bo questioned. In the other cities it Is believed the republican candidates or mayor will bo universally successful , with the possible exception of Albany , where a democrat may succeed the present democrat- IIOTII I'AUTIHS CLAIM MAHYIiAXO.

Odds wcro nckoJ tn the fusion ticket In Ham ilton county , but the bettlns was mostly even. The bettlns fraternity Is carefully reviewing the figures of former years ns well as present conditions. Tho'democrats elected James 13. Campbell governor with a full state ticket In 1SS7 nnd seured a legislature that elected Calvin S. Ilrlco senator. Then fol lowed the large republican pluralities by which McKlnley was eloUcil governor In 1S31 nnd ISP ; ! . In 1S91 the republican plurality was 137.0SG , the largest ever known In the state. Two years ago Oov rnor Dushncil had a republican plurality of 02,622 and the leg islature that elected Senator Korakcr hid a majority In Joint ballot of eighty. Last year Ohio gave .McKlnley a plurality of 51,10 ! ) for president and It Is with this vote ot last November for president that the vote of next Tuesday will be compared. Last year the republican pluralities were largely In the cities. Hamilton countv gave a republican plurality of nearh20,000 and Cuyahoga county of over 15,000. Factional troubles at Cincinnati nnd Cleveland are expected to re duce these pluralities. As the polls close nt I p. in. In Clnclnnitl and Cleveland , the first returns will conic from these cities and show democratic gains. Tl'e returns from some other cltlles are expected to show smaller democratic gains. The republicans are counting on gains In the rural districts , where prosperity has resumed more than In the towns. The democrats claim they will hold the rural rate nntl win out on the changes In the cities. TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY Take Laxative Ilromo Quinine Tablets.

St. ( Special. ) The dcmo-popullstlc rally , held here yesterday , brought out a considerable number of the fusion element. At the meeting held In the court house In the afternoon W. II. Thompson and T. J. Doyle Epoke to a fair sized audience. In the even'og Governor Halcomb was the big show. His speech was confined mainly to a detunse oP popullatlc reform and of bis own record as governor of the state of Nebraska. Referring to his alleged knowledge of ex-Treasurer Hartley's shortage prior to Its disclosure , the governor attempted to explain by doctoring that * the time ot the accounting the funds of the treasurer wcro all on hand , although he afterword learned that a large part of the money had been loaned by friends to enable Hartley to make a showing. It was understood that the speaker would mention the ballot recount fraud , but the fact that ho was In York county probably caused him to defer any attempt to explain that matter. The political situation In this county Is growing Interesting , end there Is every reason to look for a republican vic tory. lion A x.vxcia COUXTY POSTOFFICIS.
