PAULSON STARTS A CONTEST His Attorney Serves Formal Notice on the Oonnty Board , WILL HAVE ALL THE BALLOTS RECOUNTED Hlrtinitle for I'ftMHCNNttm of ( lie Odlcc of County SiiporlnlendiMit DIICM Xot Uml rvllli the CniivimK of Kcdtrtix. The Board of County Supervisors com pleted the cainass ot the votes lu the Second end precinct o ! the Sixth ward yesterday , and In obcdlenco to the Instructions of the court canceled the certificate of election Issued to Prof. Paulscn and gave ono to Sawyer. Immediately after the announce ment ot the result was made Jacob Sims , attorney for Paulson , served notice on the iboard that ho would contest tbo election of Sawyer. The ooard accepted tbo notice , and the work of preparing for the conteat will bo taken up. The date of the contest has not been fixed , but it will probably begin about December 15 , and will last well Into January. The work Is expensive , laborious and tiresome , and Auditor Matthews looks upon It with feelings nlIn to dlsgusl. ItInvolves the examination and counting of every vote cast In the entire county , nd as there are about 10,000 of these , It will bo a big task. The last election contest that Involved the re count of the entire county ballot was that between ex-Sheriff Hazen and J. M. Scanlan. This lasted twenty-two days , with a couple of extra days thrown In for the use ot the attorneys to make tholr arguments. It is believed that the present contest will consume - sumo more time , for the reaoon that there will bo a greater number of scratched bal lots to wrangle over. The contest board will consist of Chairman Perry Kenney of the Board ot County Supervisors and two other men selected by the contestants. In counting the rejected prqclnct yester day the returns as first made were used , which gives Paulson six votes , when only three were cast for him , making Sawyer's net plurality five , Instead of eight , which the corrected returns will show. In making the corrections the total vote on all of the candldatea was changed , and William Arnd'a plurality was brought down to nn even 1,000. After completing Us work on the elec tion returns , the board finished up some minor business connected with road petitions and adjourned until this morning. MJ MISSIS o"THUVXOIl'S TllACIC. Convicted IlurKlar COIIICH lluclc ( o Carry Out Thr ? nt of VciiKoiuioc. Several yea's ago I. M. Treynor and his family were rudely disturbed while they were eating supper by the presence of a bur glar who had sneaked Into the house by the front door. Mis. Treynor was sitting at the head of the table In the dining room , directly facing the front doo- , which could be scon through the open hallway. She ob served the door quietly open nnd a man slip in and close It after him. Mr. Treynor was sitting at the opposite end of the table with his back to the door and wns not aware of the presence ot the Intruder until his wife gave him the Information. Ho went Into the hallway nnd found the man trying to secrete - crete himself In a closet. A few minutes of Intense excitement followed nnd In the struggle that ensued Treynor and his bur glar got out of the house and on the front porch ; where the confederate of the burglar joined In the attack. Treynor made n , plucky fight and held his man until help i | came. The man was Indicted by the grand jury , tried and convicted and given a sen tence of three years In the penitentiary. After h's ' arrest and conviction he gave utter ance to the direst threats against Treynor nnd swore that he would retu-n nnd kill him after completing his term of Imprisonment. Treynor paid no attention to the man's threats at the time , but during his Imprison ment had occasion to visit the Fort Madison penitentiary and while there had a talk with the man. Tlmo bad not softened the fol- low's hatied and thirst for revenge. He was an unruly prisoner nnd was obliged to serve his full term and was discharged not long ago. Yesterday Treycor was Informed that the man was In Council Bluffs and had been seen In the vicinity of the Treynor home on First avenue. Coupled with the deadly threats , his presence In the city has made Troy nor a bit ne-voue and he has asked the ' pollco to look out for the fellow. The man wcs convicted and sentenced under the name of Anderson , but thai nnmo was only one of his numerous aliases. SUi-tfli iif Yuniie Yunecy. C. Yancey , who Is said tobo under arrest in South Omaha and Is described by an Omalia paper as being such a desperate train robber and djnamlter , Is a young man [ who.wus born and raised In this city and I lives with his parents , Mr. and Mrs. John I Yancey. at 23OMs ! West Broadway. His I father has been In the 'hotel ' and restaurant I business hero for many jears and the boy has always worked with Mm. Ho was never ' arrested hut once in his life , and that oc curred last summer when bo had the mis fortune tc. leave home to get a Job In another city , and falling to get It was returning homo when he fell Into company with the McVey boys , who wore returning to Omaha from Kauras City. While they were together ono of the MeVejB traded the Yancoy boy a juck- knife. It transpired that the knife was taken with a lot of other stuff by the McVojB In ono of tholr Omaha burglaries. The MoVeys were arrcdtcd after they reached this city and were held for tiio Oinahaj officers. Yancey was tukcn Into custody for the reason that ho was In tholr company on the return from Kansas City and when searched the knife was found In Ills possession. He had no dif ficulty In proving how the knlfo carao into his possession and showing that at the time of the burglary he wan at his berne In this city. Ho was discharged and hus since been working at odd Jobs. This Is the full history of his desperate criminal career up to date , Next Summer lit tin * I'nrlc. The park commissioners are already be ginning to flguro ou attractions and amuse ments for Falrmount park for next year. The motor company has nn equal Interest In the work of drawing people Into the park , and Its oineors have announced their willing ness to do all In their power to assist the commissioners. The company bas made a proposition to the park board to arrange a series of free exhibitions for each Sunday next summer , The proposition Is to run In connection with the band concerts that were so popular last season a series ot vita , scope exhibitions , Theo will bo given each evening and the concerts in the afternoon , The street ear company has offered to defray - fray all of the expeneca of such an enter prise It the commissioners will glvo their consent , and will rely upon the Increased t radio to pay the bills , Commissioner Casper announced yesterday that the board was favorably disposed toward . anything that would Increase tbo populartly of the park as a pleasure resort and give the people fieo entertainment , The commissioners believe that' during the exposition Council Bluffs parks will bo the great pleasure grounds on Sundays for thou sands of strangers and their disposition la to add as many ! attractions as possible. A ii u u ul Tax Sill i' . The annual salt * of real estate property to enforce the collection of delinquent taxes will begin on the first Monday In December , The Hut this ycuf will ba the smallest for mans1 jtars , and is moro than cue-third less than It was a year ago. During the dull tlmce elnco 1893 the purchase of tax titles hag been the only avenue fcr the Investment ot Idle money tnd the contest among the bidders for the chance to Ivy up B < w4 piece * ot property was very spirited. The scramble this season will be far less spirited , tot the reason , thit the new code has materially reduced the profits of the business. Under the old law 10 per cent was allowed ns the first penalty , with 2 per cent a month thereafter. The new code has cut this down to 8 per cent and no subsequently accruing penalties can exceed ceed- per cent. With a largely reduced tax list , and this chiefly composed of outside city property and farms of doubtful title and value , the rush of the lax title buyers will bo materially lessened this season. Sent ( o Her Home. The county authorities yesterday returned Mrs. I'rccllla Miller to the plnco from which she wandered a few days ago , near Hlnton station. The woman Is nearly 80 years of age , nnd she found her wny Into the ofllco ot the ovcrreer of the poor a few days ngo In a'condltlon of pitiable destitution and ex haustion. She had walked a distance of nearly twenty miles nnd when she reached the vicinity of the court house she wns nearly overcome by fatigue. Her physical condition was such that It wns necessary to send her to the Woman's Christian Associa tion hospital for treatment. The woman Is believed to have considerable money and property In her possc'iion ' , Including a largo ranch'In Nevada. Suilileii .Summon * . Q. P. Wood , a resident of Boulder , Colo.

CEDAU RAPIDS , la. , Nov. 13. ( Special. ) Secretary Chase of the Iowa Transmlsslsslppl and International ( Exposition commission Is Bonding out the following ruldiess , which has been Issued by the commission : To the People of the State of lonu : Iowa being the pivotal state ot those embraced In the wlilo territory known as the trnnsmls- slpslppl an regards wealth , enterprise , edu cation and nil that goes to make a. sru.it state , the people ot lowu are especially inter ested In thu Tnuismlsslsslppl and Interna tional Exposition , to bo held In Omaha In 1S9S. This exposition will bo held for the Jiur- pose of exhibiting the products , manufac tures , arts and Industries ot thu twenty-four states and territories Included In the trans- Mississippi bolf. It has been nationalized by act ot congress , and aided by a liberal np- ipiopiiatlon. Tno twenty-sixth general assembly of Iowa passed "an act to provide for nn ox- iMblt of the resources or the state at the Transmlsslsslppl and International ISxhlbl- tlon , to bo held at Omaha In the year 189S , " which was approved by the governor April 17 , lifflC. The commission appointed under this act asks your co-operation In carrying out the expressed Intent "that the. agricul tural , mineral , mechanical. Industrial , edu cational and every resource nnd advantage of Uiu state ot lo\va bo creditably repre sented. " At tno Centennial exposition In Philadel phia. In li)7G loan , took the gold medal on farm and dairy products. At the World's fair In Chicago Iowa made an , exhibit of ihei agricultural , horticultural , dairy and live stock Interests that did great credit to the stato. All the i.vorld knows ot Iowa and Its agricultural wealth and possibilities. The world also knows that In point of education Iowa leads. The Transmlsslsslppl and International Ex position will afford an opportunity that has not hitherto tieen picsented to Iowa , not only to advertise her agricultural wealth , but also to show the possibilities of develop ing a great manufacturing stau- . The Trtmsmtaslstlppl and International Exposition offers the best opportunity that ihas been presented for Iowa to advertise her vast possibilities. The World's fair and Cen tennial cxposl.lon lAcro to overcrowded with foreign exhibits that the west iwas over shadowed. The coal fields of Iowa nro sulllclent to run all the manufacturing Interests of the entire northwest. The water power that Is unde veloped at one point alone on the Mississippi river near the Iowa s'lore is equal to 45,000 liorso power. This could be made equal to an annual Income of more than HKO , < X)0. ) Experimental tests of sugar beets In Iowa have Ehown beyond question the possibility of making beet sugar one of the leading In dustries of the state. Sugar beets In Ne braska are bringing the farmers about JSO per cre. , Take as a basis a commercial point In Iowa , draw a circle taking In a radius of 20) ) miles , and you , nlll llnd more railroads nnd river outlets for commerce than In the same extent of territory any place In the iworld. But the Iowa cattle and hog produoer must at present llnd his market In Chicago. The farmer who depends upon tho.sale of grain for the profits of his farm , t'lther directly or Indirectly , llnds his market cast or south of the borders of his own stute. Tne Iowa wool grower ships his clip to the eastern seaboard. Iowa has not risen , to her opportunities. Her wealth Is often Invested In moonshine that flickers so bewltchlngly over the hills or the gold and allvfjr bearing states of the far west. We can point you to one little city of less than 8,000 souls , where the business men have squandered more than $1 , 00OCO In less than a decade on mining stocks and boards of , trade. The people of Iowa do not leallap the possibilities In the way of manufacturing at home. Why should the beet sugar industry prosper In Nebraska and the Iowa farmer continue to Bell corn at 15 cents ? Why should Iowa corn bo shipped out of the state for man ufacturing purposes ? Do towns In Illinois , across the Mississippi , afford any better Held for the making of farm machinery than a point on the Iowa side ? People of Iowa , cast your eyes over the border limits of your state. See what your neigh bors nro doing and then tell us why Jowa cannot excel them. ' Capital Is necessary for success In new fields of Industry ; Iowa has capital and Iowa capital should be used In developing the latent resources of the far-fumed ag ricultural and dairy state and In building up homo markets. Foreign capital would naturally be drawn by the magnet , "faith at home , " and Iowa , with her vast agri cultural resources and her own artisans , would supply her own people and the world with finished goods and would in deed become the pride of the transmlssls- slppl proup of states. This txposltlon can be made a source of prollt to Iowa beyond all computation. The time Is now ripe for Investments In new lines There has never before been a time In the history of the country when there was so much Idle capital as there Is to day Idle capital means Idle laborers. Iowa should form u working eround for these mutual Interests. Ine capitalist and the laborer can join hands In Iowa and develop the natural and latent resourcea of the state to nn extent heretofore un dreamed of. Money Is necessary to make an exhibit that will do credit to the state. Only $10- 000 hat ) been appropriated. It will require J50.000 more to do the work at all credit ably. The farmers and stockmen cannot afford the expense of an exhibit without the aid of the state. The same Is true In other departments. State Interest as well as state pride calls for a requisite appropriation. The exhibi tion will bo hold at our western border nnd Iowa will receive a largo part of the dl- icct benefit which falls to the country im mediately surrounding any great exhibi tion. It Is probable that Iowa will reap an much direct benefit from eastern travel and transportation as will Nebraska. The commissioners appeal to all the people plo to Join In making .an exhibit that will bring practical results and expect that those engaged In agriculture , horticulture , stock raising" , manufacturing nnd all other Indus-trial lines of work will at once begin preparation for the exhibit. ' The Liberal Arts depaitment should make an exhibit commensurate with the vast sums of money the state Is spend ing for trip education and elevation of its people Fine arts nnd the department of women's work should bo especially suc cessful In this exhibition. Pleapo address thn commissioner of the department In which you wish to exhibit. On all general matters address the secre tary of the commission. SYI.iV.ANUH D. COOK , HOHKIIT H. MOOU1S.

' No woman can look fresh and fair who is suffering from displacement of the womb. It is ridiculous lo suppo.se that huch a diiliculty can bo cured by an artlflcal support lilce a pessary. ' Artificial supports make matters worse , for they take away all the chance of the ligaments recovering- their vigor and touc. Use strengthens ; the liga ments have a work to do. If they grow flabby andrcfuse , to hold the womb in place , there is but one remedy , and that is to strengthen their fibres and draw the cords back into their normal condition , thus righting the position of the womb. Lydia E. Piukham's Vegetable Compound is designed especially for this purpose , and , taken in connection with her Sanative Wnhli , applied locally , will tone np 1 the uterine system , strengthening the cords or liga ments which hold up the womb. Any woinun who suspects that she has this trouble and she will know it by a dragging weight in the lower abdomen , irritability of the bladder and rectum , great fatigue in walking , and Iciicorrlinca should promptly commence the use of Lydiu E. Pinklmm's Vegetable Compound. If the ease is stubborn , write to Mrs. IMnkham , Lynn. , Mass. , stating freely all symp toms. You will receive a prompt letter of advice free of charge. All letters are read and answered by wo men only. The following letter relates to an un usually severe case of displnceincnt of the womb , which was cured by the PinUlmm remedies. Surely it is convincing : > 'Lydia K. Pinkhain't. Vegetable Compound and ] ! lood Purifier cured me when the doc tors hu'd given me up. I hud bpcnt hun dreds of dollars hcarching for a cure , but found lit tle or uorclief until I began the Pinkhum remedies , I had falling ani displacement of the womb BO badly that for two years I could not walk uerosi the floor. I nlbo had pro fuse menstruation , kidney , liver , and stomach trouble. The doctors said my case was hopeless. I had taken only four bottles of the Vegetable Compound and ono of the lilood Purifier when I felt like a new i > ers > on. I am now cured , much to the surprise of my friends , for they all gave me up to die. Now many of my lady friends are using Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound through my recommendation , and are regaining health. It lias also cured my little hon of kidney trouble. I would advise every Buffering1 woman in the land to write to Mrs. Plnkkam for aid. " Mits. EMMA PANOIIOJIN , Alauson , Mich. FOR THANKSGIVING ' CANDY. NUTS. FIGS , DATES. ETC.
