Hep. Hep. Hep. Hep. Tho city (.lection yesterday resulted In a decisive victory for the republicans, not withstanding the fact that they failed to oloct the head of their ticket. Tho city ad ministration for the next two years at leant will bo republican. Tho democrats succeeded In electing mayor, ono alderman at large, solicitor, cnglucer, welghmactrr nnd one ward alderman, C. Hubcr, In tho First ward. Tho republicans elcctH ono aldeiman at large, treasurer, auditor, nstcwor. two park commissioners nnd flvo out of the six ward aldermen. lAt 8 o'clock this morning the figures were ccmploto oxceptlng returns from tho Second precinct uf tho Second ward and the votu hern may postdbly chango tho renult as far as city solicitor In concerned and elect Scott, republican. It may possibly elect Saylos, re publican, ovor lioyer, democrat, for alder man at largo. The number of scratched votes In tho Second ward made tho returns from both proclncts later than tho others. 'Whllo unmarked by any untoward Incidents the city election yesterday wns ono of the hot trot and most vigorously contested In the history of Council Bluffs, Also In many re spects It wns a roost unusual election. Old campaigners ot both parties, who have been In many n warm 'political fight before, say they never took part in or witnessed an election where ballots were so generally scratched. Tills amount of wcrntchlng mnde the count tedious work for the Judges and clerks and It was well past midnight be fore nnythlng like definite returns could be secured. Tho delay In counting the vote was also Increased by tho fact that for tho first time In the history of the city the polls did not closo until 7 o'clock, one hour later than had been the custom heretofore. Fol lowing tho clcne of tho polls tho streets woro thronged by crowds of anxious people watting to learn the results and tho places which had previously announced that elec tion returns would be received were packed to the doors. It was not until the result was known without any manner of doubt that tho majority of the pccplo made for their homes and beds to sleep nnd dream over tho day's doings. The crowds nt the different polling plncco were larger than on any former city election and the campaigning on behalf of tho several candidates was of the most vigorous kind. From the moment tho polls opened nt 7 o'clock In tho morning there was a steady stream of voters In nlmost every ono of the precincts and this was particularly true of tho Flist, Second nnd Sixth wards. A fcaturo of tho election throughout the en tire city wan the vast number of new fnces to bo seen at tbo polls. A conservative es tlmato placed on tho number of men who cast their votea for tho first time In this city was clofco upon 1,000. This wns not un expected, as tho registration had been the boavleet In yenrs. Tho new voters wor.e mainly men who during tho eummcr and fall of last year had worked on the rail roads. In tho Fourth, Sixth and Second wnrds was this "floating" voto the largest. No Dlsturlinnce. Whllo tho hottest kind of campaigning wns carried on In nil the precincts there were no disturbances of any kind, and considering tho largo vote the election was ono of the most orderly on record. Both parties had out their best workers and overy hack, car riage nnd carryall was pressed Into service to bring voters to the polls. If any voter was permitted to escape casting his ballot It was not tho fault of the party man agers, but simply due to the reason that the votnr was either out of tho city or elso had hidden hlnwlf awny somewhere. During tho afternoon the voting wns rapid and be tween tho hours of 6 and 7 Just boforo the closing ot the polls the Judges and clerks had more or less difficulty In securing sufficient time In which to breathe. Many of tho new voters waited until the last min ute before they decided which way to vote and this mado tho rush nt the end nil the greater, Tho manner In which tho ballots were scratched made It Impcoilblo to form any nc curato opinion of how the election was going during tho dny nnd until tho ballots were counted both republicans and democrats were claiming tbo victory. Karly In tho morning the democrats got out a circular bearing on It: "What has Jennings done? He has put the city on n cash basis. Rvory outstanding warrant will be paid in cash on presentation to the city treasurer. Laboring men. present your war rants and get cash for your labor." Whether this did any good, Is a ranttcr of conjejture, ns it was too generally known that Jen nines had very little to do with tho re funding of the outstanding Indebtedneis, tbo plan having been projected and prac tically carried to a successful Isme by Frank True, city finance clerk, nnd the re publican candidate for city treasurer. Ilojrr Itnns Well, The manner In which W. C. Boyer, demo cratlo candidate for nlderman-at-large. ran proved a great surprise to even the most rangulno of his friends. This was duo to tbo fact that to many voters cast their ballots for the men of their choice Irre- pectlve of party nfftllatlon. Tho laboring element supported Boyer almcst to a man and he had a large number of votrn among the fraternal organizations. In which he Is very popular. The contest for ward aldermen In every precinct was of tho hcttest. This was es pecially true In the Second ward, where J D, Johnson was out as Independent. Thi mado matters considerably mixed, and I was not until the vote was counted thnt either of the three candidates really knew whero he stood. In the Sixth ward there was the warmest kind of a fight between lovett the republican candidate, and Wells, the demccrat. The floating vote In the First prec n t was rxceptlonally large, and charges were made that the democrats had colonized to a large extent In order to try to elect Wells. H was also charged that the saloon clement spent money freely buying votes In this precinct for Wells. Lovctt had the vote of tho respectable element and of al most every coiployo of the motor company, among whom ho Is most popular. In tho Fifth ward both candidates got out full forces and tho consequence was thero was a lively itrugglo for the ward alderman ship. Detailed Vote. FOU MAYOR. Barstow. Jennlng.s. Hen. Dem.

Harerstock n trensiirr? nt tho Independent school district of Council tiiiifta and Issued him a certlricnto ot elec tion. Tho meeting was called to ordor with nil members present. The nrst thing on the program was tho filing of a protest by Attorney Chambers on behalf of Ucorgj S. Davis ngalnst approving Haverstock'J bond on tho grounds that Davis wns elected to tho oulcc. Tho board Ignored Chnmberj entirely and proceeded to approve Haver stock's bond. Tho bond Is made In tha sum of $160,000 and tho sureties arc Charles H. Hanuan, E. E. Hart nnd J. D. Edmund son. After this action wns taken Attorney Fllcklngcr on behalf of Haverslock nsked that n regular cortlflcato of election bo Is sued according to the statute. Stownrt Mated thit this wns not customary, that 149 tho board had been In the habit ot simplv 2S notifying the successful candidate to come ... in nnu tnko the oath of office. Later, how- Id , ngalnst tho School board nnd spoke with j considerable warmth In rcnard in the charges that tho boajd had been guilty of 2;tj frnud nnd collusion with Slack Peterson, tho I "R"ii Plaintiff. It was asserted by tho parties to the last Injunction that Peterson was only n figurehead In tho proceedings and thnt the board had been guilty of secur Ing his withdrawal bv fraudulent menn. 2U.

A provision of hla bid was that the board was to furnish all material. Several ot the members spoke in regard to the necessity for tho work and General Janitor Brewlck reported that tho cupola of tho building was entirely minus of paint. On motion ot Swnlne, tho matter of painting the school wss referred to tho committee on buildings and grounds, with power to net. The general Janitor called attention to tho fact that tho Sunday school scholars who nttend Sunday school at the Woodbury school had damaged the trees. The Sunday school was refused the use of the building some time ago on account of the depreda tions committed by some of the children, and was allowed to resume possession upon N. P. Dodge guaranteeing to be responsible for any damages tustalned in the future. On motion of Stewart, the secretary was instructed to ancortaln from Mr. Dodge If the matter could be remedied. CITY IS XOW OX A CASH BASIS. Holder of Municipal U'lirrnntH Can ft Tlielr .Money for Tliem. Tho city of Council Bluffs 1b now on a cash basis nnd holders of tbo municipality's warrants can secure cash for them nt nny time by simply presenting them to the city treasurer. This has been brought about by the issuance of bonds In tho amount of $200,000, bearing 414 per cent, to bo ex changed for tho outstanding wnrrants In tho general and water funds. It was last Oc tober that Judge Smith ruled In the famous Shea Injunction suit that tho city had tho power to Issue these bonds; provided, thnt whon so Issued, the bonds wero actunltv . changed for the outstanding warrants by mutual exchange, so thntvhy the making of such exchange the city would not In nny way Increaso Its Indebtedness, but only ex change the form of its Indebtedness. Con siderable delay was experienced In securing an opinion as to the vnlldlty of the Issue, this being demanded by the persons who floated the bonds. This opinion wns hnnded down by Judge Dillon several days ago, but for reasons best known to tho city officials, was kept secret. It Is said that they were afraid some one might step in with an In junction llko J. J. Shea and tie up tho deal Hgain. City Treasurer Heed returned Sunday from Chicago, where he consummated tho exchange of tho bonds to the amount of $173,500. The remainder of the bond Issue, $26,500, is In Chicago, where Treasurer Heed will have tho balanco of the outstanding warrants sent to bo refunded. Tho refunding of these old warrants, while not only placing the city on a cash basis, will bo tho means of saving annually to the municipality a largo sum In interest. The warrants drow f! per cent interest, while tho bonds only carry Vi per cent. It will also hnve the effect of releasing over $100,000 of tho city's cash which hns been tied up ln the 'ocn' bar,k for tho last twelve months. Owing to the unsatisfactory decision of the supremo court In tho case brought to test which should be paid first, the old or tho new warrants Issued for current expenses, City 1 Troasurcr Heed did not consider he was t n f( In n-ivlne? itllifln nvwl In . . - wiuw , nun 111 lunarijueiliu ! tho money has been lying idle In the bnnks. wnno mo interest on Dotn ine oiu and new Dem. 1 warrants kept accumulating.

At tho latter placo the pearl button Industry Is tho biggest, perhaps, ln tho world and a thriving inunuracturo of butter tubs is also carried on. The free labor was up In arms nt once.

Tho bill provides that none of the present ex isting contracts ot tho Board of Control shall be minted, but at their expiration nnythlng further in this lino Is prohibited.
