Innes. who has been Auditor Matthews' deputy durlnc his three terms , Is a strong ! candidate , nnd Is generally conccdc-d to bo ] in tre lead. W. M. Shepard , who In Just i completing his third term as county I recorder , has developed an attachment for i the court house , and rather than leave It j would bo willing to servo the county as j auditor. N. C. Phillips , the present city | clerk , Is also out for the nomination nnd workini : hard for It. W. L. lledlaon. late auditor of the Omaha & St. Louis railroad under the receivership of W. F. Barnard , | Is alto a candidate , and It Is said John Matthews , the present Incumbent , while not openly a candidate , would not refuse a re- nomination If It la tendered him. For the j olllce of recorder them are likewise a num ber of candidates willing to sacrifice them- i selves for their country's good. E. K. Smith of Macedonia Is suld to have the Insldu I track on the nomination , but this the friends ! of E. H. Ohlendorf of this city do not ad- j mil. Mr. Ohlendorf Is making a strong I canvass , and his wide acquaintance among : the farmers of Pottnwnttamlo may secure ' him the nomination. A. C.

It Is said , will refuse a renomlna- tion and > s : iot a candidate. The friends of W. II. Kllpnck are working hard and claim that the nomination this time belongs outside of the Illuffs. John Limit has the support of the old toldler element , nnd is feeling confident that the nomination Is safely tucked away In the corner of his j vest pocket. Colonel W. F. Baker of this city and Jacob Hanson of Hazel Dell are the two members of the Board of Super visors whose terms expire this year. It Is believed that both will be renomlnated , al though It Is reported that John Hocnnan of Ilardln has declared himself a candidate for the seat in the hoard held by Mr. Han- i sen. sen.At At this convention the delegates from I Knno township , which Includes the- city elI I Council Illuffs , will nominate two candl- ' dates for justice of the peace nnd two con stables.

The attendance nt the race meet yester day was a decided Improvement over that of the opening day and the visitors to the Driving park were treated to another good day's raring.

For the llrst event no less than rlcvcn horses rinnl up their noses against the not of the new electric starting machine , the race of five furlongs being won by J.

Bellows' speedy geld ing , which carried Its owners' colors the day before first under the wire In the opening race. The third race , six furlongs , proved n sur prise for the talent. Klla Penzanco started a red hot favorite , so much so that the bookies cut It out of the Iwttlng before the start , but Hod Dutchess , a 3 to 1 shot , man aged to win by about a head from Hand'p bay mare. Tippet , n chestnut filly owned by H. F. Etches , which came In third , proved unruly at the post and delayed the start for quite a while. The fourth event , one-mile , proved the prettiest race of the day and was won after a most exciting finish by Tornnett , another of Hand's horses. Omelln , a bay mare he- longing to J. H. Hess , made n splendid race from the start , leading the entire way until the homo stretch , when Dorsey pulled Tera- nett together and managed to come In undci the wire by a neck.

Hopkins was charged with the crime of libel. Hon. F. H. Hclsell of Sioux Kaplds , candidate for judge In this , the Fourteenth judicial district of Iowa , being the com plaining witness , was ended when the jury , after being out about two hours , returned a verdict of "guilty. " TJie defense made no efl'ort to prove the truth of the Ilbelous j article , for the writing of which J. J. Bruce I was convicted , but held that it was n I privileged communication. Judge Quarton , after listening to arguments for a whole day , refused to entertain evidence tending to prove the motive of the defendant , nnd held that the law presumed malice. The conviction of Mr. Hosklns by a jury of his peers , after Indictment on n criminal charge , would seem to settle effectually the fact that ho Is no longer a i "boss" In Buenn Vista county , and that he will never again be one. Years ago Hosklns was about nil there was of the remibllcan i i > ! > rty In Buena Vlsln. He ruled It with an I Iron rod , and there was little mercy for i dissidents behind that rod. But finally j Helsell located In Sioux Haplds. This was | away back In 1SSI , when llelsell was young j and had not yet developed the dlstingulsh- j Ing business trails which have since made I him rich and successful. But he had much | to help him , a good presence , fine con stitution and wit , and ho began to have political following. If not aspirations. He 1 began to show these t all caucuses and contentions which ho attended , with the ' same regularity tint he did business. Then , Hosklns and he fell out. The town was not big enough for two Alexanders. Hosklns lost command and Helsell was acclaimed "boss. " Hoskins , however , did not agree strictly with thla choice of thu republicans of Buena Vista , and ho has been carrying on a war on his own account against the successful leader up to dato. In his present 1 plight , he Is , undoubtedly , the victim of a 1 warped Judgment. Bruce's charges , which have been proved groundless , he took as | pvldcnce of the correctness of his judg ment of llelsell through many years , and published them , with the Idea that this would end Hi'lsell , who , by this time , had grown to bo a congressional Warwick , and who Is a candidate for the district Judgeship - ship , after having nominated to congress his friend , Judge Thomas. Hosklns' con viction delivers him nnd his friend over Into the hands of Hclfcll , and Helsell IN big enough to be satisfied with his vindication , without demanding excessive punishment.

( Special. ) Sioux City being virtually the regimental head quarters of the Fifty-second Iowa and itself having two companies of young men and several staff officers from among its citi zens , is In a constant stnto of agitation about the future of Ihe regiment. The latest story Is to the effect that the regiment Is not to bo mustered out of the service at all , that the boys are to bo sent home Ion ? enough to reg.iln their health and then they will bo called back Into active service. It Is charged by men who have sons In the reg iment and whom they wish back at homo to attend to their work nnd schools that an effort Is being made by the fathers of some of the officers to have the War department refrain from mustering out the regiment. So far they have failed to show very , good grounds for the assertions , but they have reached that stage of excitement that they have opened up correspondence with men of Influence to try to head off the sup posed movement to retain the regiment for service. It Is known that some of the ofll- ecrs were quite willing to go to Cuba or some other country and do garrison duty , but mo3t of the men In the ranks prefer to go to their homes. The letters of the men go to show they do not wish to see any \\nrfarc save actual service. So far as Sioux City is concerned It would prefer to have the boys mustered out. This Is cer tainly the feeling of the majority of the people. They are tired of the worry and anxiety and the hard luck stories nnd want the men to return to their homes and get out of the service as soon ns possible. May Hilltld for Mnrdrr.
