DEMOCRATS ELECT A MAYOR
Day' ' the Liveliest in Local Politics Ever
Known in tha Oity.
VERY HEAVY VOTE QUIETLY POLLED
Kvcrr 'Worker on. Doth Side * En or
to Clnlin the Victor- , with Llt-
tlo ItonJinii to Silliltort
the Anscrtlon.
At G o'clock lat > t evening one of the most
hotly contested elections In the recent his
tory ot Council Bluffs closed , with the
result more completely In doubt tban
oven tfao oldest campaigner could
recollect. It was anybody'A fight all
day. The clement of doubt led to the most
extiaordlnary effort on the part of the candi
dates and their friends to bring all reluctant
voters to the perils , and the result was tbe
polling of elmost the entire vote as shown
by the registration lists. When the polls
closed every party leader and worker had
reason to believe that ho had performed
the hardest day's work on such occasion
wltbln hla memory. Despite all of the In
tense Interest and the excitement It waa
a most quiet and orderly election. All ot
the ealoons were closed , and there were few
Intoxicated men around the voting booths.
Some of the drug stores that had liquor per
mits did a quiet but satisfactory business ,
but the stimulant sold was either not the
ordinary election brand or was dispensed
with such caro.lt did not get Into the pos
session of men liable to become drunk. Not
an arrest was made during the day. Few at
tempts at Illegal voting were detected and
few challenges were made. The registration
was so complete that In the First ward ,
where the largest number ot belated voters
abound , onlv ono man applied for tbe re
quired affidavit.
When the polls clewed the republicans be
lieved they had reason for the faith that
was In them which prompted them to claim
the clectlcn of the entire ticket. The demo
cratic workers were fully as eangulne and
made the same assertion with even greater
enthusiasm. There were stories of all kinds
of trades. It was reported during the after
noon that some of the republicans had been
making numerous trades bydlch Randlett ,
for mayor was substituted for Jennings , the
democrat , the exchange being made for mi
nor officers on the republican ticket. This
charge was frequently made , but In not a
slnglo Instance could It bo Justified. The
same story was In circulation all day con
cerning Alderman Casper , and during the
day It was substantiated.
The counting of tbe ballots proceeded
with the customary slowness and at 11
o'clock the result was still In doubt as to
some of the candidates. There was none
whatever , however , concerning the head of
the ticket. The counting of the straight
tickets left no room for doubt that Victor
Jennings was elected by a handsome ma
jority over C. B. Randlett , the republican
nominee. In tbe First ward , where the
count was greatly delayed for some un
known reason , Jennings polled a remarka
bly heavy vote. In the First precinct of
this ward , which is the ward and precinct
in which he lives , he had 197 straight tick
ets to 98 straights for his opponent. In the
Second precinct of the same ward he re
ceived 168 unscratched votes to Randlett's
96 , leaving him a majority on straight tick
ets of 167. Alderman Casper ran close to
Jennings in both precincts and was reelected -
elected by a majority that was very satis
factory to himself and his friends.
In the Second ward , where there was also
an aldermanlc contest , the fight was most
spirited , but tbe result waa more satisfac
tory to the republicans. J. D. Johnson , the
republican nominee , was elected over C. M.
Huber. democrat , by a majority of 24.
In the Fifth ward the republican alder
man , Mitchell , was defeated by a small ma
jority.
Following le the vote on the aldermanlc
ticket :
Alderman : First Ward First precinct ,
Casper , 269 ; Hammer , 168. Second precinct ,
Casper , 246 ; Hammer , 194. *
Second Ward First precinct , J. D. Johnson - /
son , 213 ; C. M. Huber , 199. Second precinct/ /
Johnson , 224 ; Huber , 214.
.Fifth Ward First precinct , Mitchell , 165 ;
Brough , 16G. Second precinct , Mitchell , 244 ;
Brougb , 270.
This gives the democrats and republicans
thesamo strength In the council and under
the now law , the mayor having a right to
vote when the vote is a tie , the net result
of the election la to give the democrats the
control of the council.

DES MOINES , March 28. ( Special Tele
gram. ) There la every Indication that the

ot day In tbe house. .It has been recom <
mended for passage by the house commit'
tee on ways and means , but must pass
muster before the silting committee before
It reaches the floor of tbe house. Chairman
Eaton of that committee Is abient and will
not return until tomorrow morning. It Is
barely possible that tbe bill will be called
up in the sifting committee tomorrow after
noon , but even In that event there is every
reason to believe U will not be favorably
reported , as the committee is strongly
against It.
A similar fate doubtless awaits the anti-
pass bill Introduced by Hlnkson. Tbe bill
was called up In the committee on rail
roads today , hav'ng been receipted for
March 16. It became suddenly manifest that
a difference of opinion existed In the com
mittee and It was finally reported out with
out recommendation.
The house today parsed tbe following ap
propriation bills : College for the Blind , Vln
ton , $7.000 ; Hospital for the Insane , Cla
rbida. $24,865 ; State Normal school , perma

CLAIUNDA , la. , March 28. ( Special. ) A
remarkable set of complications has arisen
here In reference to a divorce and remarriage
of perrons well known. In 1863 William L.
I'rlcatman and Sarah McConncll were mar
ried In Kewanee , 111. , and after living there
some years they removed to Shenandcah , la. ,
where they remained until In 1889 when the
wl.'o returned to Illinois , as she says be
cause of the Ill-treatment by her husband.
In 1S94 Mr. Prlestman brought suit for di
vorce and obtained a decree and soon there
after wns married to Pearl Berry , the di
vorced wife of Joseph Berry of California.
Later , Mrs. Prlestman , the first wife , came
on from Illinois and claimed that the de
cree of divorce was Illegal , The case was
tried In" the district court and1 she was
beaten , but on taking It to the supreme
court a reversal was obtained , and on retrial
the court has just declared that the divorce
was null and void. Mr. Prlestman brought
another suit for divorce and this has been
tried at the present term of court , and It has
been decided that ho had no cause for se
curing a divorce. As soon as this Judgment
was entered he and his second wife sepa
rated. Charges were preferred against them ,
but Ignored by the grand Jury. Mr. Priest-
man Is proprietor of a meat market In
Phenandoah and the first wife lives In
Chicago.

sulted In the appointment of its members.
Ottumwa Courier : The Titus biennial
election resolution , passed by both houses
will have to be passed again by the
next legislature before It can be submitted
as an amendment to the state constitution

mutual protection. The meeting resulted
In the Salem company entering the coin-
bine , which is now completed.

articles of incorporation filed under the laws
of Illinois. The company will have Its main
office at Chicago and the mills Included In
the consolidation be divided Into four
classes , eastern , central , western and south

advanced to any great extent. The com
bine includes fourteen plants and will con
trol 75 per cent of the output of the coun
try , or even of the world. It will have a

DES atOINES , March 25. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The city election today resulted In a
victory for John MacVlcar and municipal
ownership. The entire republican ticket ,
headed by BlacVlcar , Is elected over the
democratic ticket , headed by J. J. Harten-
bower , by about 1,200. The democrats will
carry seven precincts out of the twenty-nine
In the city. Of these seven flvo are repub
lican , but went democratic because ot he
bolt of republicans who opposed municipal
ownership. The total vote Is very heavy ,
about 12,000. The republicans elect probably
seven of the nlno aldermen. Two years ago
iMaoVlcar was elected by 1,491 plurality. He
will go somewhat below that figure this year ,
because there Is an avowed bolt of Important
elements of the republican party , which refuse -
fuse to stand for municipal ownership. The
democrats this forenoon claimed the election
of iHartenbower with much confidence oa
the strength of the heavy republican vote
which ho was polling.

SIOUX CITY , March 28. ( Special Tele
gram. ) At a municipal election today the
voters of Sioux City were called upon to
ballot upon the question of allowing a
brewery to be established In Sioux City.
This Is the first time a city In Iowa has
been called uoon to do this under the pro
visions of the new manufacturing law. Fifty
per cent of the voters must vote for the
proposition or It Is lost. The citizens of
Sioux City gave over 85 per cent of the
vote In favor of the establishment of a
brewery. This almost assures the erection
ot a plant by a syndicate ot Pennsylvania
men who have agreed to put money Into
the scheme if the citizens want It.

sixty feet and four-tenths , having risen only
a twentieth of a foot In the preceding hour.
The river Is falling at all places above. The
decline at Wheeling was eight feet in the
last twenty-four hours. The river is falling
at Parkersburg , Cattlettsburg and Ports

reach sixty-one feet here. No further seri

rise.

WASHINGTON. March ft. The Agricul
tural department has just tisucil nn Interest.
Ing pamphlet on the eubjecl ot forest growth
and sheep grazing ki the Cascade mountains
of Oregon , prepared by Frederick V. Col-
vllle. Discussing the question of to reel ikes
In the Cascade reserve , It says those of the
orcsnit period are by no means confined
to the sheep grazing areas. Parts of the
southern Cascades , In which sheep have
never grazed , have been found to bo rid
dled by flics and In general forest flros
Increase In the reserved region proportion
ately to the Increase of human occupcucy
of all elapses. It Is clear as a result of care
ful Inquiry , the pamphlet says , that at the
nrcsent ttmo most sheep herders and pack
ers are extremely careful not to allow their
camp fires to spread and not to net flro In
tentionally , though It Is unquestionably true
that ID the early dajs of sheep raising there
was a widespread belief among sheep men
that burn'ng of forest nas a positive benefit
to the Industry.
Under the seneral head ot remedial mean-
ures a number of suggestions designed to
formulate a satisfactory system for the regu-
lutlon of grazing in the reserve are made.
The steps proposed Include the exclusion of
sheep from specified areas about Mount
Hood and Crater lake , the limitation ot the
sheep to be grazed In the reserve to a speci
fied number. bar < ed on the number cus
tomarily grazing there ; the Issuance ot five ,
specified tracts and limiting the number of
sheep to be grazed , requiring that owners
use every effort to prevent and extinguish
flrex and reserving tbe right to terminate
the permits under certain conditions , and
securing the co-operation of the Wool Grow
ers' associations of Crook , Sherman and
Wasco counties In allotting tracts. If the
wool growers decline to accept and to co-
onerato In the proposed system , It Is sug
gested that the government exclude sheep
absolutely from the reserve , and If , after
flvo years' trial , forest fires continue un
checked , exclude sheep thereafter.
