A light vote, even lighter than had. been anticipated, and the large number of scratched ballots were the features of yes terday's election in Council Bluffs. That there would.be mare or less : knifing by both republicans and democrats had been looked for, but the large- number of scratched ballots was wholly unexpected. The main fight was on county treasurer and ' sheriff and here It waa that the scratching waa done. Voters seemed In no hurry to go to the polls and the vote polled by noon waa un usually small on both sides. After dinner matters became somewhat more lively, but In many of tha precincts at I o'clock not a third of the vote had been cast. As usual the heaviest voting was towards evening and the hour before the closing of the polls. Returns show that little more than a two-thirds Vote Waa cast In the city yesterday, aa waa the cane two years ago. Despite the fight waged over' county treasurer and sheriff the people generally appeared to exhibit but little Interest In the election and the scenes around the polling places wera of tha quietest. There waa no electioneering In the vicinity of the polling booths and It waa not found necessary as In previous years to rope off tha "dead line." republican. 109; straight democratic, u. scratched.

Van Horn have received Informa tion which leads them to believe that they will soon come into possession of a share In a vast estate In Oregon. Mrs. Van Horn's name was Bhellen barge r and her grandfather had a brother, John Shellenbarger, who left rittsburji many years ago for the Paclfto coast. It was supposed by the family that he was dead and no effort was made to follow him up, but a few weeks ago It was learned by relatives in Peoria that one John She! lenbarger had died In Oregon, leaving an estate supposed to be valued at S10,000,000. Attorneys were secured to Investigate the caso and they claim to have found that Mrs. Van Horn Is one of eight living heirs entitled to a share in the estate. There la a claimant In Oregon who Is yet to reckon with. Mrs. Van Horn is a modest, hard work ing woman, and her husband is a day laborer. She had been married twice and has one daughter by her first husband, Tha Van Horns lira. In the northern part of the city and their little home was com pletely swept away by the floods last spring.

The city pest house, loccated outside the municipal limits In Garner township . near j Mynster Springs has been looted on sev- j eral occasions recently and yesterday the police were notified that thieves had car ried off the stove and several other - ar ticles of furniture from tha building. The house, which was fully furnished at the time ot the smallpox epidemic In this city, has not been occupied for nearly a year. The thieves commenced by taking away the shutters and tome of the out aide belongings of the place. ' Then getting bolder they broke Into the building and carried away a number of smaller, articles as well as most of the bed clothing. Fail ing detection they continued to get. bolder and recently- have carried oft most ot the furniture, until now but , little ot the or iginal furnishings of the building remain.'

LEWIS CUTLER MORTICIAN. Pearl SM., CouuuU htulU. 1hoe tl Banks in tho Fight. Tha principal fight was on county treas urer, the banks taking an active part In It. Tha Commercial National bank of this city was supporting Brooks Reed, the democratic- candidate, and this, to a consider able extent, accounted for tha many re publicans throughout the ctty who scratched their ballots In order to vote for Reed. In tha Fifth ward. ; his borne ward, a vigorous fight waa made against Ed Can ning, the republican candidate tor sheriff, and this also resulted In many scratched republican ballots In favor of O'Nell, tha democratic candidate: On the other hand In several precincts Canning received a number of democratic votea, while tha democrats also scratched In favor of Dr. Treynor. republican candidate for coroner, and C. O. Saunders, republican candidate for state senator. Owing to the large num ber uf act atched ballots in almost every precinct returna were slow la coming In and It waa past midnight before anything definite waa obtainable. The. extent to which scratching was re sorted to by both republicans and demo crats can be seen- from the following figures: First Ward First precinct: Straight re-niiblw-an votes lu'v airalaiit democratic. Ib2; scratched, lift, bwcond prw-incl: HlraUht republican, 14; straignt aemocrauc, i. Satcoud Ward First precinct: Straight republican, 1; straight democratic, Ito; citltLcd, Ui. Eucuiid preclaU; bual.ut While' expe-Tnenta at Washington are to j discover the affect on the human system of food preservativea, others by Prof. Critten den, at Yale, are to determine what quantl- ' ties' of different foods will support active. life. Commenting on tha latter experiments , I)r. Shrady maintains that the majority of people eat too much especially tha rich, with whom bountiful dinners and sumptu ous suppers are the rule." Then follows tha time-worn declaration that "man chould eat to live, not live to eat." . Probably It is true that all persons who can by any means do so eat mora than la needful. -Whether mora than Is good for them depends on thOr waya of Ufa. From a moral point of view this Is held to ba reprehensible. Dr. Shrady observes that "the waste of material under these ctr cumstancea Is worse than wicked, consider ing the needs of the poorer classes." This Is by no means clear. No amount of aelf denlal at table by the rich would add a single beefsteak or a pie to the poor man's dinner. It is not aa though the rich man eats up a surplus which would otherwise fall Into the poor man's lap. Hundreds of thousands still have more money than they need, yet It Is not used to feed the poorer. On the contrary, the demands of tha rich give employment to many, from the. gar dener to the chef. A large proportion of our rich men began Ufe In circumstances which did not allow them to Indulge in table luxuries for which they yearned, r.nd it is natural that tha first use they should make of their newly ac quired wealth should be to dlna well. Be sides, eating Is the one earthly pleasure of which men do not weary. Tbey become ac customed to all that wealth can give and other pleasures soon lose their novelty, but not even an attack of Indigestion with 'its consequences can weaken the desire for the alluring productions of an artistic chef. No doubt it Is true, aa the medical men allege, that high living has a tendency to develop serious disorders of the kidneys, tha liver, the nervous system and so on: but It ts now practicable to avoid these afflictions. Tha rich man may employ a man to take a proper degree of exercise for him by means of massage and Turkish baths, so that the aumptuous dinner of yesterday shall not dull the eagerneas for today's banquet. According to Dr. Shrady. people who can not afford rich dinners have cause to be grateful, since circumstances limit them to the quantity of food their enforced labor enables them to digest. On tha other hand. most rich men prefer to enjoy such dinners even at the coat ot such penalties as are unavoidable. It Is not clear what the ob Ject of the Tale experiments is. People will eat, not according to a achedule from tho laboratory, but to the limit of their purses. since life offers nothing more enticing. Philadelphia Record. Banka Were Xot Involved. The state auditor today directed a state bank examiner to go to Kent, Union county, to make an investigation of the Union County Savings bank there. There is no accusation that the bank is weak, but the officers asked that an examiner bo sent to reassure the people. Trouble arose for . the bank some days ago when It became known that McClelland Sanders was a bankrupt and the report was cir culated that the bank held $20,000 of his paper. This proved to be false, as there was only about 12,000 of his notes in the bank. Lewis Llnebarger of Orient, who la also president of the bank there, went to Kent and set things right and the Des Molnea correspondent of tho bank at Kent today telegraphed abundant credit in case of any run of creditors at Kent. Both the banks at Orient and Kent were reported In good condition, but the trouble arose entirely over a misapprehension as to the debts of Mr. Sanders. Cummins Will Go to Boston, Governor A. B.

Great forests of these trees are being planted on every continent and especially on this continent. This Important step bis been taken largely aa a result of the work of Baron Ferdinand von Mueller, govern ment botanist of Victoria, Australia, who haa prophealed that "eucalypta are das- tlned to play a prominent part for all time to come In the aylvan culture of. vast tracts of tha globe."

The reasons arc: First, their great capacity for ab sorbing moisture from the soil and thus re ducing the quantity of stagnant water In tha ground at their roots; second, their corresponding power of giving off fresh from their foliage tha water thus takes up; third, tha exhalation from their leaves and other parts of volatile oils, which af fect the climate not only directly, but by changing ths oxygen of the atmosphere to osone; fourth, ths purification of germ-Infested matter by the foliage dropped upon the ground.
