W. H. Vaughan. was rustling around
yesterday trying to convince his old ac

William llaucrkaumpcr , ono of the old
residents of Lewis township , died yester
day morning at 1 o'clock , lie came to

ngcd 47 years. Ho loavrs quite a lartro

The papers which lay such claims to
fairness , nnd who take delight in calling
the HIK : vindictive , should resign such
claims now. Not one of them has had
the manliness to present both sides of Iho
Homo of tlio Friendless nfl'air. Tlio HICK
is the only paper thus far that has been
fair enough to give its readers both the
adverse and the favorable report.
The loss by the burning of C. McGin-
niss' candy and fruit store No. 221 Uroiul
way , has not been settled yet , although
the fire took place last May. The matter
is now to go into the district court. Mo-

Among the soro'ial objects of attention
yesterday was a wagon , the white coverIng -
Ing of which was covered with sharp
tlirusts and muddy Mings at some of the
democratic candidates. The chairman of
the republican committee nublicly oilers
to disprove the statement that this irrita
ting wagon was in any way n street
parade devised or encouraged by the re
publican managers of the campaign. It
seems moro than probable that it was an
outgrowth of ayoil known feeling which
bus sprung up in the democratic camp
against some democrats who succeeded
in gobbling up nominations by processes
which oven among democrats were de
nounced as unfair and tricky.
The Congregationalists , with the as
sistance of others , arc planning to give a
most enjoyable and unique entertainment
hero on tlio 18th of this month. It will bo
a , representation of tin old-fashioned dis
trict school , the pupils in which will bo
among the best known ladies and gentle
men ol the city. For those participants
in the novel entertainment to carry them
selves ahd their audience back to the days
when they were school boys and girls
will make an evening of peculiar enjoy
ment. The details of the programme
will bo made known in duo time , but
from the outlines of what it Is to be , it is
evident that the entertainment will be a
rich ono , full of merriment , variety and
music.
The district telegraph boys were yes
terday distributing political handbills ,
which seem to strike very bard some of
the candidates and their friends. At the
First precinct of the Fourth ward an at
tempt was made to drive the boy oil' ,
who was stationed there , and ho was
threatened with rough usage if ho con
tinued to distribute the obnoxious hand
bills. The olliccrs of the District Telegraph -
graph Company notified the parties in
terfering with their messenger that any
interference would result in the arrest
and prosecution of the offender. The
boys were simply doing what they were
told to do by their employers , and the
company was distributing these hand
bills , the same as they distribute any
ndvertising.maUor. It scorns that anyone
ono of ordinary sense would not attach
the blame to the boys , or to thu company ,
but to those who were responsible for
the oHbnstvo handbills. The handbills
purported to be the record of an olliccr
who was aijaln a candidate , and how the
responsibility of this could bo shifted
onto more boys , is a puzzler to sauu men ,

Coining In Slowly.
At midnight the returns began coming
n slowly and fragmentary. The city
vote was a badly scratched one , old res-
dents declaring it the worst ever seen
lore. The delay in the count of the
city vote was duo largelj to the light on
.he township ticket , it being evidently
every man for himself , Not one-tenth
of the nntiro votes were straight on the
township ticket.
1IOTII CANDIDATES CONTIDKNT.
Ills almost impossible to stain with
certainty who is elected as congressman ,
! ho returns being so meager , but they in
dicate that Major Lymiui , the republican
candidate , is ro-electcd. He was quite
confident last night thai his majority
would reach 809. Colonel Sapp placed
the majority for Lynuin nt 1,000. On the
other hand Colonel Keatloy and his
friends were confident lliat he would be
elected by several hundred.They claimed
the city byfiOU , and ihecountvbynsmiich
more. Thai Council Hind's would go
jemocratic was a foregone conclusion ,
but the majority was variously estimated
from ! M10 upwards , in most cases up
wards. The democratic township ticket
was so badly slashed and batlorcd llml
several of the candidates cave up hope
early in the evening. There was much
local feeling on township olliccs , and
each candidate made a personal lighl for
himself regardless of how the other town
ship candidates got along.
wn.i. IIAVI : THE innur.n.
The vote on the question of giving a
12 mill lux , of about $50,000 , to aid the
construction of a wagon and street car
bridge , was largely in favor of the enter
prise. It is estimated that tlio majority
in favor of the proposed levy will reach
nearly 2,000. There was little opposition
shown.

Caught a Coniltlencc Alan.
Yesterday morning OlliccrJ. McMillan ,
of the transfer , while at his homo , corner
of Third avenue and Ninth street , noticed
three men standing near there , and his
long experience led him to conclude by
their actions that a confidence trick was
being turned. Ho noticed ono of Ihc trio
hand a check to an old man in the party ,
and the old man give some money in re
turn. Oilicer McMillan was satisfied at
this move , thai his suspicious were cor
reel , and he jumped over the fence to
nab the men. On seeing this sudden
move the man who had received Iho
money quickly handed il back lo the vic
tim , and look back the check. The two
sharpers then _ started to run , going in
different directions. The ollicor could
not run in two directions at once very
well , so ho concluded to follow the ono
who scorned to bo the chief actor. He
gave the young man a lively chase , call
ing him to stoj ) or he would shoot , but
there was no stop. While the chase was
being kept up Ihe street-car came along ,
and ono of the passengers , who had a re
volver , lircd three limes at the llccing
crook , and as the ollicor came
up handed him Iho revolver
to continue the shooting. Mc
Millan succeeded , however , in heading
oil' tlio follow and arresting him without
shooting. On being taken to the station
and searched , the young man gave evidence -
denco of being a thorough crook. Ho had
upon him Iwo line revolvers , a number
of burglar tools , and a pair of nippers
for turning door-keys , one of tlio best
over scon by the olliccrs.
The old man. who so barely saved his
manoy , gave his name as Elins Lower ,
lie was traveling with his wife from his
homo in Columbia comiLv , C ) . , to visit
friends in Ida Grove , la. Ho came in on
the early Kansas City tram. The young
mau who was captured came in on the
same train , and Ihoy gel quito friendly
and well acquainted. On reaching this
city his young friend suggested that
they had a little tlmo on their hands , and
they had better walk out and ect a little
fresh air. During the walk a third party
came up and asked his young friend for
some freight or express charges tlio old
story. Tlio victim was just accommo
dating him with a temporary loan of $15 ,
when the ofllcor spoHcd Iho game. Mr.
Lower was very anxious to proceed on
his journey , as ids brothor-in-laWj August
Hoiish , of Ida Grove , was expecting him ,
but the olllcors concluded to hold him
and get his evidence before Jutting him
go on his journey.

Yesterday's KIee < ion , .
The battle of the ballots occupied Iho
attention of nearly all yesterday. The
city bad nine voting precincts , instead of
the former four , and ouch of these formed
n center for excited crowds of voters and
electioneers , The now law preventing
'
the congregating of persons within one'
hundred foot of any polling place , served
as a check to mauv abuses which were
common under the old law , Men could
go up and vote without having their
collars and button-hole * pulled at to the
last minuto. What arguments were pro
duced , and persuasions u&ed , had to bo
before the voter htarted on thu hundred-
fool walk loading to Iho polling place ,
The otVect of this new arrangement was
evidently against the purchase of. votes.
Those who- soil their Votes are not to ba
trusted , a hundred feet tuvay , and those
'who In former yearn have Itudthu-repilta-
tiou of buying yotcs did not sceui lo b *
willing lo chance spending any great
amount ot money in this way , There
wore no such scenes as have been pre
sented hero , where the buyer of a vote
would hold to the wrist f the purchased
voter until the ballot was passed through
the window , lest the voter should change
the ballot.
The saloons kept their front doors
closed , but there was some evidences
thai Iho bolts were not very strong on
llin back doors. Still there was little
disorderlincHs and very few drunken
men , until after thu closing of thu polls
at 0 o'clock. The regular police kept on
thu alert , and special police were at each
polling place , but during the day not a
single row was reported.
' 1 here was n great deal of .scratching
of tickets. The count was therefore very
slow and tedious , although the ihcreaso
in the number of polling places facilitated
the matter greatly.

The Sewer Dltoti.
The work on the sewer ditch has at last
been completed , so far as the city claims
the contract has been let. The contrac
tor , Mitchell Vincent , has all the time in
sisted that his contract was for extending
the ditch south of the city to a suitable
outlol al the river. That question has
been allowed to rest in the courts , where
it was placed some time ago in accord
ance with an agreement of the city and
the contractor. While there was still
work to bo done on the part of the sewer
dilch concerning which there was no
such dispute , tlio question has rested
easy. Now , however , thu work being
completed , the citv says that is all , while
the continctor insists that ho is entitled
to the rest of the work. The demand
was made on the council the other even
ing to have the cily engineer lay out the
route south of where Iho dilch now ends ,
and cross-section the same so that the
contractor might continue tlio work.
The request was not acted upon , and
there the mailer rests. It looks as if
there was to bo trouble over this contract ,
and that the question would only bo set-
lied by liligation. It is ono of the most
important mutters now pending before
the council , and yet ono in which Iho
people generallv seem to take litllo inter
est , because , probably , it has been rest
ing for about two years. The completion
of the work so far as both are agreed now
being reached , the question can hardly
drag along much more , but will have to
bo determined soon ono way or another.

My Unclov,4 Ilslal l Will.
1 am fully aware of the fact that ,
wl.oro anything supernatural Is con
cerned , one might ai end the nflldavlts
of hnlf a dox.cn well known people and
still be unable to c6nviucc : the reader o
the truth of the statements set forth. 1
am , however , going ito rclnt < ! a curious
thing which happone/l to me in 1870. 2
was then living in Whitewater , \\ls.
and my only living relatives were af
uiiole anil aunt ocwjiiying a farm a few
miles from Springlield , Mass.
On the 4th dav oj August I made up a
bundle of low p'apcr * to take home with
mo from the ollicot mil forgot them as 1
went to supper. After supper 1 went
back to the olllco to secure them. 1 un
locked the door just about sundown.
Some of ths blinds being shut , the room
was quite dark , and 1 left the door open
in order to see my way to the desk. I
started across the room when 1 saw a
man in my chair nt the desk. As the
door hail been locked , 1 was naturally
startled. 1 halted midway between the
door and iity desk , and at thai moiuenl
the sti anger , who had his head down as
if writing , looked up.
"Why. uncle Petol" I gasped , recog
nizing lilm in a moment as my undo ,
Ho looked straight nt mo withoulreplj'-
ing. I was ten tool away and Iho room
was dusky , but i could have almost
counted his oye-winkers. Ho was old
fashioned In his dress and not over tidy.
1 noticed on the right-hand lapel of his
black coat a bit of ravelling or thread ,
and his necktie was also awry.
"When tlid you come , anil why didn't
you come to the house ? " 1 asked , at the
same time feeling a chill creep over me.
No answer was returned , but as 1 took
a step forward the figure seemed lo dis
solve , and I reached the chair to lind it
empty. 1 was in perfect health and good
spirits , and when 1 found I had been
made a fool ot I was angry at myself. I
stopped back to see if 1 could bring the
evening shadows into play to make up
any such figure , but I could not. I sat
down to recall what I wns thinking of as
I entered the ollico , but it w s of trilling
mailers , which could not hnvo plunged
me into a rovery. I very much disliked
to own up beaten , and probably did more
to try to reabon the thing out and explain
it away than the reader will. It was no
use. The fact remained that I had seen
my Uncle 1'elor silting in Ihc ollice , and
that ho had vanished as 1 approached.
Next morning at 10 o'clock I received
a dispatch from my New England aunt ,
saying that my uncle was dead , and ask
ing me. to come on at once. 1 took the
first train east and in duo time arrived al
Ihe old farm house , lo find everything
ready for the funeral. My uncle had
died sitting in his own chair at his own
desk , while writing to mo about some
business and at about the hour , counting
the difference of time , that I saw him in
my ollice. His left about .fGO.OOO worth of
property to be divided between the wife
and three childrenand it was well known
to all the heirs that he had made a will.
When we came to search tor it no paper
of the sort could be found. We found
the lawyer who drew it , the wilness > es
who signed it anil all Iho heirs had seen
it , bul Uncle Peter had laid it so carefully
away that the valuable paper was no
where to be found. We hunted the desk
through and through , overhauled
trunks and boxes and had to finally
conclude that he had burned
it with the intention of making another.
The children went home , the house set-
lied down to .something like its old-time
quietness , and 1 was ready to leave for
the west as soon as I could finish trans
acting some temporary business for my
aunt. 1 sat nt Uncle Peter's desk one af
ternoon , being all alone in the lower part
of the house. My aunt was lying down
up stairs , and the hired girl had gone to
her home , a couple of miles awa3f. The
place was very quiet , and 1 had been
very busy for a few minutes , when I
looked up and saw Uncle Peter standing
in the door of the bedroom which led off
the sitting room. He was facing mo and
was about twelve loot away. It was
lighter in the room than ill my ollico at
the time I saw him , but the view was not
as distinct. That is , I could not get the
expression of his facn so well , nor could
I determine whether ho was looking into
my eves or over my head.
It was Uncle Peter , sure enough. There
were the same bent form , gray hairs , and
stoop shoulders. I was ready to make
oath to it on a thousand bibles. On the
occasion 1 thought it was Uncle
'eter nlivi ; this time 1 knew it was Uncle
Peter dead. 1 am not ashamed to say
that 1 was broken np in a second. 1 per
spired and trembled , and I felt my hair
crawling up. My lirst thought was to
bolt , and the only reason 1 didn't attempt
it was that 1 had not the strength to rise
from my chair. It was a long minute ,
and perhaps two of them , that wo gazed
at each other without a word or a move to
break the spell. Then he dissolved as be
fore , and I saw only vacancy where Hind
behold his aged form. The lirst move 1
made was to dash across the room into
the kitchen , and thence out doois , and.
laugh at mo if you will , I had
not the courage , to re-enter
tlio house until 1 heard my aunt
moving about. Then I went in mid told
her what L hail seen , and together we en
tered the bedroom for a look around. On
a .shelf behind n box containing seeds was
a paper , and I took it down to lind that I
had the mKsing will in my hand. How
mv uncle came to place it there wo could
no't satify ourselves ; but that was thu
family bedroom , and it might have been
clone'in changing bis clothes , or in a mo
ment ot absonl-inmdedness. II would ,
of course , have been found sooner or
later , but perhaps not until the spring
house cleaning , and a great deal of
trouble and annoyance would have mean
while resulted.
