NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS' '
Approach of the Caucuses Brings on the Dis
cussion of Candidates ,
WHO WILL RUN FOR THE CITY COUNCIL
Tlirre Wnnl Mrmhrrn anil On nt l.nrce toIle
Ilo Clionrn AnplriinU Already An
nounced Compared Candidate *
for the School Hoard nre Scarce.
The spring election is only a little more
than two weeks distant nnd the primaries of
the republican and democratic parties occur
two weeks from today , and yet , so far as ap-
pcarances'lmllcate , there Is so little interest
being manifested that people who are not on
the Inside might supjioso that such a thing
as an election has never been thought of.
But considerable work is being done on the
quiet , especially among the democrats , and
If there is anyeouneilmanie lightning tempo
rarily out of a job it will do well to keep its
eye peeled for openings , for they are bound
to como to light. Councilmen are to bo
elected in the Third. Fourth and Sixth
wards to take the places of H. II. VanBrunt ,
K. 10. Maync and George Graves.
A couneilman-at-large Is also to be elected
to take the place of J. II. Pace. Mr. Pace
was formerly a candidate for rcnomlnatlon
by the republicans , but he now announces
that ho has retired from the political arena.
He requests Tin : BEU to state for him that
he lias not made enough out of the office to
retire iiton | , but will return to his old busi
ness. Kepublicans are mentioning C. Straub
as a jKissiblo candidate , while S..S. Keller
seems to have the inside track ut present
among the democrats.
Will Iliircu Itepcater.
In the Fourth ward K. E. Mayno is anx
iously looking for a renomination , but
whether or not it will bo given him is yet to
bo determined by the republican leaders.
If he receives a rcnumination it
lotiks very much as though the tight
of a few months aso will be repeated in the
Third ward , for.L B. Atkins is being men
tioned prominently by the democrats. The
election where those two men were pitted
against each other was one of the uu st hotly
fought contests ever seen in Council Bluffs ,
and It resulted in Maine's election by a
majority of two votes. This was entirely too
close for comfort , some of the republicans
think , and they want to put uu some man
v ho will stand a chance of carrying off the
prize by a larger majority. No more satis
factory candidates have como to the front ,
however , so far.
In the Third ward two republicans have
been mentioned , E. E. Hart and F. O. Glea-
.son. either of whom would meet with the
entire approval of theimbltc. W. H. Thomas ,
formerly county recorder , and J. H. Plumer ,
formerly county treasurer , are candidates
'or the democratic n valuation , the latter
eljing largely on his resemblance to Alder
man Van Brunt , the pros--nt incumbent , and
Having shaved off his moustache in the en-
leaver to Increase that resemblance.
Where. Democracy Only Count * .
In the Sixth. Graves wants a rcnointnation ,
lUt two other democrats have come to the
front to contest the place with him , J. D.
Nicholson and J. W. MUtescll. In this ward
a republican never even gets a smell of an
office , so that If there ; s a republican candi
date in the field he doesn't count.
Some trouble is anticipated in gettinir any
one to run for the office of school director , as
the present board has resembled an
athletic club too much to suit most
Jiicn of peaceable tendencies. Mem
bers Wells and Wnite were elected
together three years ago , they have been
thrown together with more or less force at
almost every meeting for the past year , and
now they keep up their record by going out
together , and it is suid that neither of them
aspires to a re-election. So far the only can
didate mentioned at all prominently is Rev.
E. J. Babcock. and whether ho would take it
if it were tendered him nobody knows.

The taking of evidence Jn the Biggs will

No more ghosts walked , but otherlnterest-
Ing testimony was introduced in the shape of
a letter which the deceased had written his
daughter about live weeks before his mar
riage with his second wife , in which
he referred to an invitation ho had
received from a woman whom he referred teas
as "Miss Annie , " that ho como and live with
her. This bit of writing , coming as it uid
upon the heels of testimony of other wit
nesses to the effect that the deceased had
always boasted of his popularity among the
ladies , created a riuplo of amusement over
the audience. In his letter , however , he
stated that he saw at once what "Miss
Annio" was up to , and accused her of want
ing to get hold of his property , whereupon ,
after some hemming and hawing , she ad
mitted that it was tne almighty dollar that
she was after. Ho further went on to say
that ho had determined to leave his property
to "Danny , " his grandson.
An ante-nuptial contract between Mr.
Biggs aim his second wife was also intro
duced in evidence. It had been drawn up
and signed about two weeks before the mar
riage , and in it each party agreed that
neither should acquire any title or interest
in the property of the other through the
marriage , but that each one should continue
to hold his or her property just as though
the marriage ceremony had never taken
place.

Too Cold lor ( iliustn.
The proprietor of the Tremont house has
received a rather queer Inquiry from A. S.
Judklns of the Soldiers' homo of South Da
kota , asking for the particulars concerning
the reported haunting of a house In the
vicinity of the hotel. This recalls the fact
known to many citizens that nn old brick
house stood for yeais at the corner of Sev
enth street and Washington avenue , whlcti
had so widespread a reputation of being ten
anted by ghosts that it was difficult to gei
any other tenants to occupy it. The anxious
inquirer is now Informed that the house re-
fcrreil to'has been torn down , leaving the lot
vacant. The ghosts probably were com
pelled to look for new quarters , as this win
ter has not been very comfortable for an out
door residence , especially to these clad in
ghostly garments.

In the eagerness with which the citizens
are discussing the motor question , some
partisans have indulged In a wholesale de
nunciation of all the acts of the present ad-
ministration. In view of this fact It Is sim
ple justice that the taxpayers should bear
in mind that Mayor Lawrence and the coun
cil , who were elected on the understanding
that they would reduce the city's current ex-
prnsrs. ! have met this feature of the public
expectancy They point with prlao to the
figures showing the cltj's running expenses
as follows :
Apr. 15 , 1891. to.tnn. 31. 1R02 10fl.2flO.00
Apr. 16 , 1802 , to Jan. 31 , 1803 74,270.71

So far , so good. Now the citizens propose
to pledge the Incoming officials to the policy
of protecting the city's interests as against
the motor .xnnpany and all other coriwra-
tions. If at the coining election inch are
chosen who will bo as faithful to this new
pledge us the present administration has
been to the jiollcy of cutting down running
expenses , another step forward will be
taken.

In the theater. The people don't want art
unless art counterfeits nature. "Fantasma'
travesties nature. It reverses the law of
gravitation. "Fantasma" will delight chil
dren , for children love the fantastic and im
probable. So do the old folks , if t'lo truth
be known. There is so much reality in "the
store" that they long to escape it , There is
so much disappointment in love that they
rejoice in seeing lovers triumph ever bigoted
parents and malicious friends. You can see
these tilings in "Fantasraa. " The scenic
tricks are surprising and bewildering. They
bear testimony to remarkable ingenuity.
They keep the audience laughing until a
change of scene actually becomes a rest.
The final transformation is novel as well as
striking , because the idea is new. Original
ity is always recognized.

"In accordance with the plans laid out for
myself on September 7 last I take this op
portunity of announcing that I am now pre
pared to defend the title I nave. In evidence
of my good faith 1 hereby deposit $10,000 ,
and have authorized William A. Brady and
William Delancy to meet Charley Mitchell
of England or his representative and arrange
a match to box to a ilnlsh for the champion
ship of the world , $10,000 a side and the
largest purse offered by the Coney Island
Athletic club , the Olympic Athletic club of
New Orleans or the Crescent City Athletic
club of the same city , the contest to be according -
cording to Marquis of Quecnsberry rules , the
club to have no power to stou the same
or declare it a draw. It must be to a
finish. On account of prevailing contracts
and the necessary three months I will re-
iulrc | to train , the battle will have to take
place next December. If Mitchell accepts
this proK | > sltion T insist on his depositing
the whole amount of the side bet ( SIO.OOO )
at once , and also that he agrees to the dual
stakeholder when the articles are signed. I
make this unusual demand because I don't
think that Mitchell Is In earnest , and can
only judge him by his previous actions. He
signed a contract to box six rounds with me
last February and deliberately broke the
contract after I had started to train.

Twelve Hrutiil Ilniiinl , Nepilcil to FlnUh the
Ilurly Au trallnn.
SAN FiiAXCisco , CalVF.pb. ( 15. Billy Smith ,
the Australian heavyweight , and Frank
Childs ( colored ) of I os Angeles met in a
finish fight at the California Athletic club
'
tonight for a purse of | 'l,3o6. It was 9:30 : be
fore the light commenced.
Childs landed a straight lefthander on
Smith's jaw in th § llrst round and there
were several exchanges which did little
damage. Childs countered heavily on
Smith's chin in the second , and the latter
went down in' the end. There were
several hot rallies in which the most
vicious blows on the jaw were
exchanged. Smith landed one or
two terrible punches , but the
colored man stood up under them. There
were two knockdowns in the fourth round.
Smith went down from n counter on the chin
and Childs from a slight blow on the side.
Childs was in better shape.
Childs drove a half dozen richt and left
swings into Smith's jaw , which made him
groggy. Smith also received a rap In the
mouth which made his nose bleed freely.
Smith looked like n loser. In the sixth round
the colored man did all the forcing. Childs
was wild in his swings.
In the seventh Childs tried hard for a
knockout , but the Australian took his pun
ishment well. Smith's eyes were now
bleeding. Smith went down In the eighth ,
and when he rose Childs pounded him un
mercifully and finally sent him down. When
he rose to time Childs went after him again

this stylo. But ( iaffnqy was onto his little
game and stepping up to. Cvrus he tapped
him on the shoulder twu quietly remarked
"Old man , that will Juatcost you $ 5. "
Su ellffo looKcd athim in well feignet
amazement , but Ulscqvnrlup that Gaff touli
not bo worked , SutT replied : "Well , . '
meant just what I s-aUl , that the rottencst
umpire in the business I'ouLsn't do a bit bet
ter than you ; you pait't help It. " dZ3
