officers nnd members of Company 1, from
this city to attend the funeral of their
former comrade, but as they worn not noti
fied as to the time for holding It they did
not make preparations to go.
fl'ho election created mich general Interest
and occupied tho time of so many different
people that business wns almost at a stand
still. Tho Justice courts were closed all day
and the police did not mako nn arrest from
morning till night Only one prisoner was
confined In tho city Jail nnd that was n
loor fellow ulifnrtunato enough to bit too

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.

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

COMPROMISE ON ANTI-CONVICT LABOR BILL

Vote nt the City
Election.
DES MOINES, March 26. (Special Tele
gram.) Another Important bill was passed
by tho sennto this afternoon. It Is the one
by Sonator Titus of Muscatine, to prohibit
tho manufactuio of pearl buttons and but
ter tubs ln the state penitentiary.
Not long ago the Stale Board of Control
lot n number of contracts for pearl buttons
nnd butter tubs to the convicts of Fort
Madison penitentiary near Muscatine, la. 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. The question of free versus con
vict Inbor was mado one of the issues in
tho campaign last year, and an effort hns
been made to get nn nntl-convlct labor bill
lhough this legislature, with the result
thnt a compromise hns been effected to pre
vent further Invasion of the pearl button
nnd butter tub Industries of the state. 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.
The bill passed by a vote of 20 to 3. Nolnn,

Tho Important ways nnd menns commit
tee bill of tho senato providing a now tax
atlon for Iowa flro Insurance companies was
introduced in tho senate this afternoon and
made a special order for tomorrow after
noon, togcter with the bill for the amend
ment of the collateral Inheritance tax Inw.
Tomorrow morning tho question of final
adjournment Is to bo discussed as a special
order In the f.onatc, nnd for Friday at 10:30 a.
m. the house bill by Byerx, relating to cor
porations for pecuniary profit In euoh n way as
to protect the minority stockholders, will
bo taken ui by tho upper body. Several
other special orders are on tho calendar
for both houses to consider.
It is believed that April 5 will be set as
tho time for flnnl adjournment. Tho house
bill to nllow llfo insurance companies do
ing a level premium business to Insure
against accident was defeated by the sennte
this 'afternoon, but a motion wns filed to
reconsider, and It may pass when thero Is
a larger nttendnnce.
A bill providing that It shnll bo mandatory
for keepers of poorhouses, county and pri
vate asylums to turn dead bodies unclaimed
by friends over to tho medlcnl schools of
tho stato wns passed also.
, Legislative Bosslons wero held only by
tho senate todny, as tho house has adjourned
until tomorrow to give Its members a chance
to vote at tho city elections today.
The most important featuro of the morn
ing session wnB tho pnssago of the bill by
Trewln for tho rstnbllshment of a munici
pal code commission for Iowa. This
measuro, ns previously explained, Is tho
outgrowth of the recent supreme court de
cisions which have thrown the paving as
sessment laws of Iowa Into n heterogeneous
state. An effort was randq to secure some
satisfactory legislation on the subject nt
this sefslon, but It whs finally decided by
tho senate committee on cities and towns, of
which Senator Trewln Is chnlnnan, thai
the best way would ho to ndopt something
temporary nt this time, nnd provldo for a
commission to recodify tho laws and report
to tho next general oFssrably n bill making
noedcil chnnges, together with an explana
tory report and an analysis ot tho bill.
This Is, In shod, the provision of tho bill
which passed tho senato today. It pro
vides for tho appointment of a rommlttoo
of threo from each house to do tho work
nnd this committee must bo nppolnted be
fore the close of tho present session. Th
voto on tho bill stood .12 yois and 2 nays.
