NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS Mauawa is All Torn Up Over the Election of Last Monday , GROSS FRAUDS ALLEGED ON BOTH SIDES Dofentnl CiinillilntpH fur " .Miinldpiil" Oilier * ill imlfiKir : to Iliivu tlm Ilrnutt Chnnccd hy din Court * It U an ControtuMy. The little town of Mannwa has an entlro registration list of thirty-four voters , but Its election last Monday was attended by as much excitement as If the town had been big enough to have motor companies , boodle aldermen and other motroiwlltnn Improve ments. So great was the stir which it cre ated that It was not until la to Tuesday night that the ofllchl count of those thirty-four votes had boon completed , and It was known positively who was elected. In fact , It can not be said positively that the question of who is elected is completely settled yet , for the * defeated candidates , and especially the defeated candidate for mayor , promise to see that thu result us olllclally announced is de clared void , and allege fraud on the part of the victors In stuffing the ballot box with votes cast by uersons who had no right lo vote. vote.Tho The contest for the mayoralty was be tween Colonel V. P. Keed , of Manawa rail way fame , democrat lo candidate , and Colonel W. H. Heck , independent democrat. The two colonels were out In all their glory elec tion dny , and if there was a single wire which remained unpullcd it was because Dnth colonels were unaware of Its existence. When the count was completed It showed that Kccd had two votes more than his op ponent , and 1C. T. Wright and O Kerns , who wore running on the same ticket with him , were also elected. H. II. Hammer , inde pendent candidate for recorder. Peter Kief for treasurer and T. A. Wright for trustee , wore elected over their democratic antag onists. and there was a tie between John Mlkcsell and John Collins , democratic and Independent candidates for trustee. Itruil Accused ol Colmil/ltlim. : In spite of the f.ict that to an outsider the ofilccs seem to have been pretty well divided up , the Independents are dissatisfied. As a matter of fact the mayor is lord high executioner at Matiilwa , and the other ofllcers do not have very much to do about running the town. Heck Is the proprietor of a "Joint" at Manawa , anil it would of course be n feather in his cap if he could make and unmake the neccssarv laws to give his place the prestige of the administration trade. Ho and his friends being counted out , they now propose to have a recount. They claim that Heed colonl/.ed a do/en or so fellows , paying their board bills and other expenses in con sideration of their voting for him. Just before the polls closed they claim that Ueed ran in two fellows who , upon being ques tioned , admitted that they had only resided in the state live months , whereas the law provides that they must reside in the state six months previous to their voting. They were turned away , but Kecd ran them back and insisted upon their being sworn in. Their votes were then taken , and It after wards was learned that thcbo two votes wore the ones that turned the scale. Beck's friends intend to air this little escapade in the courts if necessary in oracr to get what they claim to bo their rights. A .MiiKiilflrcnt Place.

CITV COUNCIL. .Much Important Iliislnria Trmiuct il at Its NlghtS Mct-tlnc ; . It was a lonesome looking crowd at the meeting of the city council last evening. Two aldermen were present who , so far as the public knows , never wanted to attend another meeting , and whoso wishes were rospectcd by the public. There wore two more who were perfectly willing to continue their labors in bolialt of the city , but most of the voters couldn't see it that way. There wcro two more republican aldermen \ylio evidently considered the sittlrig-itown process to have been operated on them personally , and two democrats who had consideration enough for the feelings of their unfortunate com panions not to Indulge in the feelings of wild hilarity which they must have had. The transaction of business was done In a per functory sort of way , and after It was over the members of the council wended their ways quietly homeward. The committee on streets and alloys made a report with reference to the paving which John W. Paul has aslced for on North Twen tieth street. There are seven intersections , the cost of paving which would bo about ! , ( > 00 , The committee reported against the paving , and the report was concurred in. The city engineer asked for further In structions with reference to the which Alderman Pace had asked to have put in across Indian creek on Mynster street. Pace thought it ought not to cost more than lf > 00 , and Aran Hnmt said this was a good time to construct a bridge , as there were a numlier of contractors who would bo willing to do the work very reasonably in order to introduce themselves. An amendment was made to the ordinance vacating fourteenth avenue east of Main street in lavdr of Djere. Wells & Co. , re quiring them to pay the city for the p.ivlm of the entire intersection of Main street and Fourteenth avenue , instead of only one half as was provided in the original draft. The change was made by a pirtv vote , the ttvo republicans voting for and the three demo crats against. A resolution was adopted ordering the city clerk to have "liO copies of the ordinances passed since August , Ib'JO ' , printed. An ordinance providing for the construction of n sewer on Main street from Eleventh avenue to Twelfth avenue , and on Tenth : avenue from High to Third street , was passed under n suspension of the rules. The proposed tilling of the alley between uiFifth and Sixth avenues and between Tenth and Twelfth streets , was brought up thW Alderman Graves. An Injunction prevents the council from opening the bids for ! K this alley , and as the bids for illltng are In the same envolo | > es , thu hands of the council are otVcetuully tied , The clerk was author ized to reaavertiso for bids for filling alone. A communication from A. A. Ilii&ml with reference to the Judgmuit which ho secured against the city for the killing of a hurso a few years ago , after three trials In the dis trict ami two in the biipremo court , was read , In which ho asked tint stops bo taken at once toward paying oft the Judgment , which now amounts to about $810 with the costs. The communication was filed , and Hazard will have to wait for his money uu lUil his turn comes around , which will most likely bo in about a year. Ituth Faul ptcscnted an offer to compromise mise the claim she holds against the city for damages by chungo of grade on th street. The olTcr was refoired to the udlcUry committee and the city attorney. The chairman of tlio street ami allojS committees was authorised to buy n larlo.id of oak lumber at flTW ) per 1,000 for rt'palrs on sidewalks , On motion of Alderman Pace the ofllcc of veterinary surgeon , which has cost the city $1X1 per annum , was ilono away with. Mayor I awrcnco announced that ho had appointed George A. Halncs to a position on the l > olice force to fill the vacnneycauscd by the resignation of 0.10. Beswlck , whp will soon leave the city. It was decided that the contract for paving on Fourth avenue should bo let to the lowest bidder on Council Bluffs brick , n majority of the property owners Interested having ex pressed themselves as In favor of the homemade made article. A special commljtco consisting of Mayor Lawrence , Alderman JennltiKs , Tlhblts and Smith , was appointed to dispose of a team now In the lire department and to purchase a new team , The council then adjourned until next Tuesday evening.

ItepiibllrmiH Now Cliiim Thit ; They lluvo Klci'lril the Third \V ril Aliluriunn. Michael Nolan , a Third ward democrat , comes to the front with some assertions , which , If borne out by the facts , may possl- bly change the present tied condition of things In .the Third ward am } give the tion to Mr. Glcason , the republican candi date for alderman In last Monday's election. When ho went to vote his mind was so com- plotely filled with the thought of that pro posed tax levy that ho put a cheek in the square opposite the proposition , but forgot to make any mark on the rest of the ticket. After his ticket had been deposited in the box ho remembered what ho had done , and told thu Judges about it , asking that ho bo allowed to change his ballot. This , of course , was refused , much to Mr. Nolan's disgust , and ou counting the votes it was found that each candidate had received 205 votes. Tlio question now arising is , was that vote counted for Hathaway or was it thrown out entirely ? One of tno judges who visited the city clerk's oHIco on the night of the election says that it was counted for Hathaway. If this is so , there is but little doubt that tlio unmarked ballot will have to bo thrown out , and in ttiat cvcnf Gleason will bo alderman by a majority of I voto. Other democrats , however , state that the unmarked vote was not counted at all , and that being the case , the present condition of things will not be changed by Mr. Nolan's announcement. The true state of affairs will probably bo ascer tained when the ofliclal canvas is made this afternoon. All those interested in physical cul ture should bee the exhibition of Indian club swinging by Miss Mabel Gray , the South Omaha girl club swinger , at the entertainment at tlio Broadway church tonight.

NOW FOR LIGHTS FOR THE SUBURBS City r.lrctrlrlnn NreiU Mora IintrimiriiU to TcH Are l.lRhtK 1'iirkur Tract Ac * cpiti'd | for rnrk"Ttio ! J Inspector For some time the Boanl of Flro and Police Commissioners has been endeavoring to secure needed Improvements In the flro department , and it has been successful. At last night's session of the council the committee on ilro and water recommended that the board bo cmK | > worcd to make the desired Improvements. The report was adopted and the board was Instructed to lease the room nt Eighteenth and Hnrney nt $1,000 per annum ; to purchase ono steam lire engine , ono hose wagon , 11,000 feet of hose , six horses and two sets of double har ness ; to select quarters In the central east ern part of the city for the steam flro en gine , nnd to suitably equip the rooms menK tionrd. The committee also recommended that the ii.OOO feet of hose bo purchased from Omaha dealers. Action upon the acceptance of the propo sition of the Continental Clothing company to present the city with $1,000 , provided the new flro engine and the company manning It is named the "Continental , " was deferred until the next meeting. Mr. MeLearle Introduced a resolution to the ctTcct that the city put in a gasoline lighting 1 ! plant and operate it , and that bids bo advertised for In the Omaha and eastern papers. A prolonged discussion followed. Mr. Wheeler wanted the Sun Vapor company given the contract until January H ) anil then take steps to llifht tno suburbs with electric lights. Mr. Howell was in the s imo frame of mind , and Mr. Jacobson wanted the suburban residents given light Immediately , no matter whether the city secures sixteen or four-candle power lamps. Mr. Saunders and Mr. Edwards wanted the city's interests protected and did not relish the idea of giv ing in completely to the Sun Vapor company. Mr. Mcl.eariu's resolution was not adopted , but one offered by Mr. Elsasser was. The resolution adopted provides that the objec tionable penalty clause bo stricken out of the contract , and that where a lamp is not burn ing double price for such lamp shall be de ducted from the bill , and that the Sun Vapor company bo requested to sign sucli contract Immediately. Moru I.unil for I'urlc * . City Attorney Council sent in a communi cation In regard to the Parker tract , which It is proposed to purchase for park purposes. While of the opinion that the title may not be absolutely free from doubt , in view of the adverse possession of the land by Mr. Parker for more than ten years , any defects In his title may bo remedied. The attorney be lieves , however , in view of the doubts which exist concerning the title and the possibility that home person laboring under picvious disability may make claim to the land , and in view , also , of the fuel of the long delay which has intervened from the time the proposition of Mr. Parker was submitted , that if the city now desires this land for park purposes It shoufd Do obtained by con demnation proceedings'land ' all parties wlio may have , or claim to llavc , any interest in the land should bo made parties. Judge Lake , the legaPlirtviser of the park commissioners , submitted an opinion also. Ho said that ho was t'lltiroly familiar with the title to the Parker tract , as shown by the county records and the abstract fur nished by the executor of J. M. Parker , de censed , and know that at tne time of his death said J. M. Parker hiul'a'perfect title in fee simple to said land ; and further that for more than twenty-live years next before his death said Parker had been in the undis turbed actual occupancy of it , the land being fenced and almost continually in actual cul tivation by him or his tenants. Judge Lake held tliat the title which the heirs now lan der to the city by the deed offered is as good as it Is possible for one to have of land. Dr. Miller spoke at length upon the propo sition to accept the deed from the Parker heirs in conformance witli Judge Lakes' opinion. Ho urged immediate action as the time is approaching for the board to begin the year's work. Mr. Hascall thought that nothing could bo gained by condemnation proceedings and favored sustaining the action of the park commissioners. * City Attorney Connell in reply to the question said that the land had never ibccn purchased by the city , although an agree ment had been entered Into with Mr. Parker , deceased. Ho believed it bjtter to secure the title by condemnation proceed ings , and in that manner all question of im perfect title would bo'quioted. Mr. Hascall moved that the commissioners be empowered to secure deeds to the Parker tract and confirm the action of the park commissioners in securing such a title. The motion prevailed. The recommendation of the Board of Health was concurred In by a vote of lli to 5. and Meat Inspector Bccson was discharged.
