Tho candidates had but little rest Sun
day. The amount of electioneering whloh
they did was perhaps not bo great as on
some of the provlous days of tho campaign,
but It naa more In tho naturo of putting
on tho ilnlohlng touches. The Judges and
clerks had to bo brought together and In
structed bo to what was expected of them, a
few doubtful voters had to bo seen, and the
other llttlo details hnd to bo gone through
with that are a part of the usual duties of
the Sunday before election.
A truo prophet would have earned a
good day's salary If ho bad set up a shop
In Council Muffs yentcrday. It Is conceded
that no ono knows what the probable re-
nult of tho election today will be. Even
thoso who usually pride themselves on being
ablo to forecast political events have little
to say. Ono reason for this Is the large
lxcrcaso cf registration this year. It Is said
that In tho neighborhood of 800 names have
been added to tho polling lists during the
last two weeko. A part of these are trans
fers, but by far the majority are now men
who have cemo to town. What their poli
tics aro Is a matter of somo uncertainty.
Still, tho republican leaders claim the head
cf tho ticket and a good share of the balance.
Tho polling places will ho open at 7
o'clock and will remain open until 7 p. m.
Tho probability Is that tho count will not
bo completed beforo 3 o'clock tomorrow
morning. Tho following Is the location of
tho various polling places:

Georgo Fnson Is a young man whose
mania for making away with other people's
property has gotten him Into serious trou
ble. He Is now a prisoner at tho city Jail,
whllo stowed away in tho Jailer's bedroom,
tho olllce and any other avallablo places Is
enough pluridcr to fill a good-sized dray.
Yesterday morning John Frccse, who lives
nt Cll Sixth avenue, reported at the psllco
station that his houso had been entered
during tho night. The back door of his
houso locks with a hook, but tho frame
work ot tho door is so loose that It Is an
easy matter to put a linger through nnd
lift tho hook. Tho marnuder had done
this, nnd tho door wns found open when
ho 'rose In tho morning. As far as ho
could see nothing was missing excoptlng a
sack ot rags and a plato of pickles which
had been left standing on tho kitchen
table.
Ofllccr Wlor mado a visit to the place
and succeeded in tracing footsteps from
Kreose's back door to n barn in the rear
of tho residence of II. D. Harlo, nt tho
corner of Seventh street nnd Fifth nvenue.
Going Into tho barn ho found a rudo bed
mado of hay, blankets, rags and other rub
bish nnd on It Fason, fast asleep.
Ho wakened hlra and then proceeded to
mako a search of tho barn, finding the rags
which had been stolen from Froese.
Fason said he had been making the barn
bis home for a month or more. He did
not try to conceal the fact that he had
mado his living out of the neighbors, steal
ing everything bo could lay his hands on,
whether it had any value or not, and carry
ing it away to tho barn.
A further search of tho barn showed that
ho had been telling the truth. Hero Is a
partial list of tho stuff ho had accumulated:
Flvo coats, seven pairs of shoes, two pil
lows, three hats, a punching bag, three
pairs of trousers, threo quilts, ono comfort,
ono tolcBcope, n washtub, bucket, tea
kettle, waBh boiler, clawhammer, two blan
kets, four pieces of carpet, a watch, clock,
threo knives, n bundle of baby clothes tied
In n check apron and sixty-eight novels
ot tho cheapest kind.
Besides all theso there wero plenty of
other things of not sufficient value to bear
classifying. Ho had fixed up his rude

DEADWOOD, S. D., March 25. (Special.)
Tho Portland Gold Mining comnanv of
Clinton, la., Is now shipping sevonty-flve
ions or ore per dny to tho Bmcltcr and cy
anldo works In this city. All of tho ore
comes from tho upper oro contnet, which Is
300 feet higher up than lower ounrtzlte.
Tho company has now bonded the Decorah
mine, which Is located down In tho gulch
on tho lowest oro contact and a long tunnel
Is being driven into tho mountain to deter
mine whether or not oro bodies will bo
found nt that level or not.
In this same district Is ono of tho enost
promising mines In the Black Hills, owned
and now being operated by tho Dakota Mln
Ing company. This company has opened up
several hundred thousand tons of oro that
Is nmcnablo to tho cynnldo process and It Is
operating a twcnty-llve-ton cyanido plant
at Central City. Tho Elkhorn Hallway
company has recently put In a spur at tho
mlno and another spur Is to bo built to tho
mill.
Tho Horseshoe Mining company has made
nn arrangement with tho Sunset Mining com
pany of Milwaukee to uso tho lattcr's hoist
whllo a long drift Is run across several
claims belonging to tho Horseshoo com
pany east of tho Sunset ground. The Sun
set company Is still drifting on ono of the
metamorphesed veins that were encounterod
near tho shaft. About 200 feot east ot the
shaft thero is a mineralized zone ubout 200
feet In width and tho principal work Is
being centered on a drift to tho south on
this vein. Tho oro carries values, but not
qulto high enough to pay mining expenses,
There Is now not much question nbotit a
railroad being built Into tho Galena mln
lng district this season. Ono ot the most
promising mining sections In Lawrdnce
county Is found east of this city, commcne
lng nbout three miles out and extending
about eight miles to a point beyond On
lena. This district would embrace the
Spruce gulch. Two Bit, Strawberry gulch,
Butcher gulch, Bear Butto and Galena dis
tricts and It would throw open about
twenty-ftvo old mines nnd 100 or moro very
rich prospects. In tho Spruce gulch district
tho Bello Kid red go mlno, owned by Anron
Dunn and associates of this city, Is pro
duclng several tons of ore every dny, which
Is hauled to tho smelter. Over tho divide
tho Original Hardin mine Is producing nbsut
fifty tons of ore dally, which Is also hauled
to tho smelter. A number of other mines
In this camp would commenco to produce
ore If there wero better transportation fa
ctlltles. Tho old Union Hill Mining and
Smelting company, now the Galena com
pany, has commenced shipping oro from
ono of tho sevoral mines, tho Eureka, to
tho Deadwood smelter. This company has
In tho past tew months dono a largo araoun
of development work, which has opened up
several very promising veins ot oro.
Tho Golden Reward company last winter
purchased the old Oro Flno mlno, which
was owned by tho Deadwood and Delaware
company. Tho mlno Is being drained o
water and n new shaft Is to be sunk nearer
tho big ledgo of pyrltlc ore.
It Is very gratifying to the Black Hilts
peoplo to havo the Union Hill company
commonco shipping ore. This Is tho com
pany that was generated by Francis Ora
blc, tho promoter of Edgemont, tho stono
quarry, and smelter. When ho collapsed
every ono believed that tho Black Hills had
received n blow which It v ould never sur
vivo. Tho management of the company fell
Into much bolter hands than Grable ever
gave It and tho result has been extremely
satisfactory to every ouo concerned.

seen In this city slnco Inst Sunday, when

from his burned stock of hnrdware before
starting. The general agent ot tho asso
ciation was willing to settlo tho matter by
taking a Joint note of the relntlveB of
Jacobs, which would havo been excellent
security, as somo of them aro wealthy.
Jacobs, It Is now learned, appropriated $500
of the association's money several months

I SOUTH 0M4IIA NEWS. I
A jury In tho district Vourt has awarded
a verdict of $3,000 agalnslj thei city of South
Omaha for Injuries,, received by James
Burko somo time, ngo. Ed Burke Is tho
owner of a milk .fpujo 'pnd one morning
somo months ago W.was ,drlvlng north on
Twenty-third street when his wagon was
overturned by reason of tho horses becom
ing frightened at tho excavations mado by
tho gna company .on N street. James Burke,
who accompanied his father lu the wagon,
was qulto badly Injured In tho wreck, nnd
tho father brought suit for damages, with
the result abovo mentioned.
At tho tlmo tho Omaha Gas company was
granted a franchise to lay mains in South
Omaha a bond was given Holding tho city
blameless for any Injuries or damages which
might result from tho digging ot trenctiia.
This bond Is still In force, but it socais that
tho city Is compelled to boar the brunt of
tho battle as well as all of the expense.
Another suit of a similar sort Is tho
Klsfoldcr caso. According to Judgo Baxter's
decision, tho city council must, at tho tlmo
the next lovy is made, provldo for a $4,000
Judgment to pay for personal Injuries re-
colvod by Paul Elsfclder. It will bo re.
imemberod that Master Elsfelder broke un
arm whllo Jumping across a gas trench in
tho alley between Twenty-fourth and
Twenty-third streets. Tho -boys who were
playing nbout tho trench had been warned
away by a wntchman, but they persisted In
their play, with tho result that Paul Els
fclder was Injured,
On account of theso Injuries the city la
called upon to mako a lovy for tho payment
ot $1,000 In damages.
In connection with those two cases, A. It.
Kolly, tho republican candidate for mayor,
said yestorday:
"Thero Is no good reason why tho city of
South Omaha should not be able to recover
tho amount of damages In thcBo cases It
tho proper effort Is made. According to
tho bond filed by tho Omaha Gas company
to Indemnify tho city against loss In cases
of this kind, tho city should not loso a cent
in tha outcome, and I am heartily In favor
of instituting the proper procedure to en
forco tho terms of tho trancbtso ordlnauce."

During tho last tow days a number of
persons havo been engaged In circulating tho
report that A. R. Kelly, If doctod mayor
would appoint certain persons to fill tho
vacancy in tho council cauoed by his elec
tion. Regarding this .matter, Mr. Kelly
says: "I nm socking the election on the
platform of principles declnrlng for a hotter
city government and expect my support irom
theso Interested In an Improved condition cf
affairs, and not from Wml&es to politicians
or any set of men I ci$H)orsonafnggraiidlzo
mcnt. I have heldsqtjt no Inducements to
anyotio for employ "fnk 1" any capacity
under the city govejjni&nt. I bellovo It tho
duty of tho chief 1 ieitlvo of tho city to
oonfor with thoso Mahsted in good gov
ernment 'beforo mailiyriany appolntmcnt.
"In order that alPinterests may bo sub
served I propceo to look tho ground over
thoroughly and innk Selections represent-
In tny opinion vlll

1 contentment of all."
Walter I. Smith, C. O. Saunders nnl C. M
Hurl. McPherson himself supported Judgo
Emlth to the last for tho federal Judgeship,
but now that tho remainder of tho com
mittee has Insisted on recommending Mc
Pherson for the place It Is probable that
he will endorse tho candidacy ot Judgo
Smith for congressman. If Smith Is se
lected It will mem another promotion for
somebody, as a successor would havo to bo
found for Smith In the district court, nnd
In that event It Is conceded thnt Saundors
would have a strong pull for the vacancy.

Chronic Contlpaon-by "The P Habit"
Tho griping pills, nauseating powdors nnd wenkenlng salts with which you
abuse your bowels, nre relics of tho days of "bleeding," "calomel by tho
spoonful" and "Jalap dosing" obsoleto methods whoso "euro" was worse than
tho disease.
Violent purging will never curo Constipation! After the griped nnd tor
ncnted bowels havo been clenred of their contents, they fall back exhausted,
weak and worn out. All matter that then enters tho bowels has to be forced
lut by another "dose," larger than before.
Thvs la formed "the Pill Habit." tho danger of which fihould bo appnrcnt
to every one! You go from one pill to six, nnd even a whole dozen overy
"dosu." Violent mercurial and mineral purging poisons pllo up In tho bow
sis! Instead of being active, heulth -making organs, the bowels becomb moro
chnnnels which must be bullied Into action, and, us a consequence, health
Is lost and painful slcknens becomes your lot.
