This morning dawned with an' April
shower, which has continued In a des
ultory manner up to the time of going
to press. It will havo a tendency to
further lighten the voto In tho election,
which at best would bo les than usual.
Mrs. II. F. Glover, of Grand Island,
passed through tho city yesterday at
ternoon enroute to San Francisco to
attend tho exposition. Mrs. Glover
formerly lived In this city but moved
With her husband to Grand Island a
few months ago.
Up to 10:30 this forenoon no activ
ity whatever was shown in the elec
tion, and It' Is predicted that a light
voto will be cast. Usually tho "wet"
faction organizes to get out the vote,
but in this election no such attempt
has ben made. Tho "drys" havo mado
a rather active campaign in at least
two of the wards, and today they feel
confident of winning.
'.Maurice Fowler, of Grand Island,
formerly of this city, arrived in town
last evening to spend a few days buy
ing horses. He has Just returned from
tho eastern markets ' and states that
horsesaro not selling for a verjr high
price except the ones that will do for
war service. The European countries
are very particular about the horses
they buy and only the best ones are
accepted and these bring a good price.-
