THE BIG FOUR.
TbG Wards of this Ci y Roll Up a Solii
Vote for the Court House ,
Llttlo Learned Frpm the Country ,
Yesterday was a gtcit day for Council
BlalTs. Much depended on the question
of whether a now court homo and jail
should bo built hero or not , and citizens
of nil parties , of all shades of color , of
all sort of beliefs , united solidly In voting
ing In favor of the propositions submit-
ttd. The stares and business places
generally closed at noon so as to nllow nil
to bend their energies to getting out a
full vote of the city In favor of the pro
posed building , nnd the bitterest political
enemies wore for once working enthusi
astically sldo by lido for ono common
purpose. What the result will bo cannot
bo told with certainty , as for the city that
was settled long before the polls wore
opened. It was virtually unanimous In
favor of the novr buildings. But , of
course , all depended on the country vote ,
and returns from all parts of the connty
cannot bo had accurately for a day or two
yet. Even these few who are confident
that the court honso qncjtlon has cntrlod
hardly dared to fire off any too great
amount of onthnslastlo potvdor , lest the
Qunl news might show a different result.
At the election n year ago the propo
sitions were defeated by a majority of
1504. In order that Tuu Br.E readers
may compare the returns this year with
thoto of last the following table Is given
of ] mt year's vote :

The polls In this city were kept open
until 0 o'clock last night , so that it was
late before any count could ba made.
The election being a jug-handled ono
hero In town , the Interest centered not
so much in the result hero as in the
country.

the city , almost unanimous for the court
house. Returns from other parls of the

jail have been carried by at least 1,000
majority. Lewis township gives 15G
ballots In favor of it. Knox township
cast' about GOO ] votes of which 40 wcro
for the conrt house. Crescent gives 115
ballots for it ; Linden 82 for it , 48 against
It ; Neola gives 52 majority for it ; Hazel
Dell 75 for it. 5 ajjainst it ; Valley town
