There Is eolng tn bo nn election In Council IllL'ffa on Mnrch 2. The calls have been liMiod for the primaries and the dates fixed for the holdlnK of the conventions and further than that one man Is In as good position as another to guess ns to what the piobable outcome of the conventions will be. Under ordinary circumstances talk Is con sidered cheap and thre Is any amount of ante-corn cntlon gossip that would Indicate something of the sentiment of the men who make and unmake statesmen , but this year It Is different. Hvcty politician and every man with nn Interest In municipal affairs Is anxious enough to talk over the situation , but no ono hat an > thing like a definite Idun of what will bo done In the nominating con ventions. Plenty of men l.ave been men tioned ns candidates for the various offices , but no ono Is willing to offer a guess as to the chances of the candidates until some thing tangible Is offered. And that something tangible Is a hint from the select coterie of Individuals who hive been given creJIt for fining up the pro gram for performance by the convention No ono pretends my more to dens that this select circle , jclept "the ring" for want of n bolter term , t'as been perniciously act ive In tinier past In the direction of the affairs of the republican party In thly city. Hvery member of the ring Is a good follow and enterprising enough to get Borne profit and a. good deal of satisfaction out of the boeilng of the- municipal machine , but theic has recently developed a very considerable opposition to the accustomed plan of follow ing the dictates of t'ie select circle. 'I hero | i no ivriwnl opposition to the men who run the machine , but there Is a vigor ous kick coining from the rank and flic of the party who hove grown weary of carrying out plans , In the formation of vvhch they have no part nnd In the success of which they reap no share of the tame or proflt. The first tangible result of thla feeling has developed within the last few days In the form of an oppo ltlon sentiment that will have a ticket In each ward at the primaries opposed to the delegates who will bo put up by the ring. AS TO THE OPPOSITION. Hut there Is a peculiar feature cf the oppo sition. It la a case of fighting In the dark. The combine has as jet lefusel to tihow Its hiul anl thcro la but little Intimation and that little only In a general v\ay , as to whom the ring candidates will be. A num ber of men have been named for mayor , nnd the merits of different candidates dlscu t'sd , Lut no expression has Lcen secured from the men who are popularly credited v. Ith having the naming of the men who will be nomi nated. Under these conditions the opposition to tha ring will make the fight largely on general principles and will trust to their ntrongth In the convention to defeat the choice of the ring when that choice Is made known. Major Cleaver will have n consid erable following In the convention , and II. H. Van Brunt , Judge George Carson , Julian Mitchell and \V. J. Jamison will have some delegates and there IB a prospect that a comproinim * may be affected nnd some man selected v\ho Is free from ring tain and acecptab'e to the rank nnd file of the party and the voters of the c'ty , regardless of politics. Mayor Cleaver and Judge Carson are avowed candidates for the nomination. Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Van nrnnt have both been urged to rrnke the fight for the nomination and will have friends at the primaries and at the conven tion , whether thej take any active part In the ante-convention figuring or not. The following communication , from a well- known republican , Indicates that the ring Is working hard on a program and may make an announcement In time for the proper guidance of Its followers before the day of the primaries : AS TO Tim BnST MAN. COUNCIL. BLUFFS. Feb 11To the Ed itor or The Bee : In this morning's Non- pal ell I notice an artlc-o In which a writer wants to know whom the Nonpareil thinks Is the best man for mayor , nnd whom it thinks ! most likely to get the npm nation. The Nonpareil In answer has this to saj. "Ye , the Nonpareil has a candidate , and don't mind telling > pu who It Is. The Non pareil is in favor of electing the man who will secure the largest number of votes In the nominating convention. , e do not name him , but leave that p casurable duty where It properlv belongs to the party In convention assembled. When It names him. wloever , ho may be the Nonnaicll will Iw vvhen It is road0 ? & r 'ar t NO p'f ' r'eMo ns to who are to be the delegates to the Convention Delegates have been named I for every precinct In the cltj , and. It now only remains to have the e delegates P t > K > 8h at the caucuses. It wou d seem s'rango that nr.vato caucuses should be held at the Non- uiicll editorial rooms and elsevv here almost very night and the Nonpareil Phou d not knownnjthlim about who Its delegates are nipposed to favor for mayor. 1 have been a subscribe ! to the Nonpareil for the last BX | jearB , but the Nonpareil Islet lot free to discuss the political questions as t used to be.

These are the Nonpnrc 1 Is BOW- ha reasons ng wood nnd does not give Its Imiulior the desired answer.

All of the friends and acquaintances of James Delaney , who lives at 1E1C South Sixth street , nnd a good part of the police force were engaged from 2 o'clock jesterday morning until daylight look'ng for him and Imagining all kinds of catastrophes that had befallen him. Delnney IB n driver of n grocery wagon , a sobT and Industrious joung man. Tuesday evening ho attended the theater nnd reached home shortly before midnight. He partially disrobed in prepara tion for bed and then stepped out In the Xltchon. Ills parents heard nothing from him for a long time , and Investigation re sulted In finding his clothes where he had left them , his bed empty and the back door open. Tracks In the enow showed that he had gone out through the back jard and over the fence , and fur ther than that he could not be traced , A search through the neighborhood vvaa without results , and after his friends and the neighbors had spent two hours look ing for him In vain the police department was notified. Special olllcers were detailed to help hunt the young man and the regu lars vvero Instructed to keep watch for him. The circumstances led to the belief that he had been kidnaped or foully dealt with , and upon thla theory the search was prosecuted with renewed vigor as eoon an It was day light , Shortly before 7 o'clock one of the attacheu of the Kmmett houa , a hostelry near bj- , went Into ono of the unoccupied rooms and found joung Delaney quietly sleeping In the bed. He wan awakened , but could not tell how he came to be there. The last he remembered was his start for hie bed room. The exit through the back door and the walk In his bare feet through th tnow was a blank to him. _ The big special sale at the Ourfce rur.il- tvrc company's Is In full blast.

Police clubs , bludgeons and revolvers will not be needed any more If ft Council Dluffs man can succeed In getting the police de partments to adopt a now weapon that ho has devlted for the use of patrolmen and other people , who have occasion to resort to extreme measures In the discharge of their duly nnd In protecting themselves. The most dangerous riot can b ? quelled , nnd the most pugilistic law-breakers can be safely landed without the Infllct'on of gunshot woundo , broken heads or bloody no as. And the policeman will no longer ba required to stand ns targets for even lingual abuse , for they will have the means of shutting off the torrent of profanity and obscenity that fre quently accompanies an nrrest of n foulmouthed - mouthed half-drunken brute. All of this will bo accomplished It the polios departments can bo brought to see the excellent features of the new weapon ns the Inventor sees them. And It will all bo ac complished by the ute of n little gun no larger than the ordlimty 3S-callber bull dog revolver , the terror that awakens the echoes and Is sure to lodge a bullet In the wrong man. The Council llluffs man uses no ex plosives In his weapon , and when It Is dls- cl-argEd It docs not make half the noise that a blow from n locust club docs when It strikes the skull of a rioter. Hut the result Is Instantaneous and marvelous. The fight la taken out of the man and ho loses conscious ness In an Instant. The secret of the effectiveness of the weapon llea In the we of t > trong liquid am- monla. Instead of bullets the gun Is charged with specially prcpa'ed capsules containing about twenty grains of concentrated am monia , nnd they are propelled by a spring brought Into action by the blow of the gun's hammer. They are driven w th perfect ac curacy a dlstancs of fifty feet and strike with force encugh to burst the thin walk- of the capsmlo. The force of the concus sion vaporizes the ammonia and It Instantlj arises In suffocating volumes. If the capsule strikes the rioter on the breast he will not bo able to get ono full breath before he If choked , and If It str keg him about the mouth he Is done for In less time thin 11 ho had received n bullet In his brain. The v.lumes of ammoniac gas cause a complete suspension of animation that will last long enough to permit the ofllceri * to wciire their man before he regains his senses , but w 11 not do him any permanent damage unless c little of It should happen to get Into his ejcij. Even then the effects' , unless the Wrongest solution Is used In the capsules , will disappear In a few dajs. The gun has many features that will com mend It to police departments and humani tarians. In a- riot the foremost men arc the leaders and they are generally the last ones to get hurt. Fljlng bullets usually find some Innocent person on the other Bide of the street or an unwilling spectator. With the silent ammon'a gun the point of attack would not be revealed until the pile of un conscious men revealed It , and the very mystery of It would have n deterrent In fluence unknown to the maddening flash and bang of firearms. In a drunken bar room fight one police officer could control the crowd without a resort to brutal force and with little exposure of hlmse' ; . One featura of the new arm will commend Itself to bicycle riders H is Just the th'ng for the cur that gets his chief enjojment in life chaslns wheels on the country roads Ono little capsule In the right place Is all he wants , and the thing will never have any sport In It again for him. As a meins of self-protection It will be of Immense value to the man who has to be out at nights A capsule exploded under the nofo of a htghwajman stops him as quickly as If a pile driver had fallen upon him , and tha man has protected himself , saved his watch and pocketbook without having the weight of murder on his soul. If the Council Blurts man gets the en couragement ho should get he will put the weapon on the market at once. Its cost will be trifling in comparison to the pries' asked for a first class revolver. The only secret that he has not revealed Is the charg ing nnd preparation of the capsules , which will withstand for years the action of the concentrated ammonia. I'OI'ULIST MASS Will Hlfic Another Coin ciilloii to Anitiliuitc. city CiiiiillilnU-N. The populists held a mass meeting at the court house Tuesday for the purpooa of tak ing preliminary steps toward the nomination of candidates for the various city offices The meeting was quite largely attended and the discussion of local affairs took the place of the usual cons'derat on of the evlla of national government as viewed by the aver age populist.

UNANIMOUSLY ENCORSES THE OMAHA IDF A Stnto IipRlnlnltirc I'loso * llto Joint IloNOtiitloii mill MtMiiorlnl to Con- Without it nix ctitliiK Vote In Hither Hondo. DCS MOINns , Peb 12 ( Special Tel- gram ) The Joint resolutions endorsing the Transmls lsslppl exposition to be held nt Omaha In 1S98 were passed by n unanimous vote In both houses of the state legslature today. In the senate the "iigc of consent" b II was taken up as a special order. Senator How en moved that the orlrlnal bill recom mended by the White Cross society , raising the ago to IS , bo substituted for the report of the Judiciary committee , fixing the age at 14 , and ra'slng It , condltloncl on subsequent marriage as a bar to prosecut on , to 16 Sen ator Uowcn entered Into an exhaustive dls cusslon of the subject , consuming almost the entiresession. . The galleries wore filled with visitors , among them many mcmbcts of the White Cross society. Senator 13111s of Clinton defended the action of the Judl- c'ary committee and said It had endeavored to reach a happy mean between the ' * vo extremes. He cites at length the laws govern ing this matter that prevailed among an cient Greeks nnd Hcmans and other nations , dwelling partlcuhtly on the early English statutes He believed that the ends of Jus tice would be fully mot If the nge was fixed as recommended by the committee , when under the statutes the female Is competent to enter Into a contract of marriage At the conclusion of Semtor Ellis' speech the senate adjourned Much tlmo will probably bo expended en the discussion of this meas ure. ure.Tho The woman's suffrage constlt itlonal amend ment wag reported favorably In the senate today. Harper will file n minority repoit. The republican caucus selected L 11 Rob inson of Avoca to bo n member of the Uoard of Agricultural College manager ? to succeed J. II. Wood of Athntlc. W. O. McElroy of Newton nnd J. Jones of Manchester were nominated as their own successors on the name board. WOULD CODDLE STATE LANDS. Illlls have been Introduced In both houses to authorize the Slate Executive council to sell 100 acies off of the east side of the state fair grounds , and purchase thirty oddltlonil acvej nearer the city , In order to obtain room for a mile race track. Since the pur chase of thesj grounds , some two or more veara ago , they have more than quadrupled in value and not being taxable they have proven a very profitable Investment to the state. The lands in question are known to bo underlaid with a heavy vein of coal and It Is rumored that real estate speculators arc at the bottom of the proposed deal. Senator Hurriman , who Is a member of the State Board of Agriculture , Is strongly opposed to the alienation of any of this valuible property and thinks the "late fall manage ment can find use for all of these grounds In the near future , as well as the proposed addition. Secretary Fowler practically takes the same position. The bill is hung up In the senate for the present. The state fair managers all are In favor of the pending bill , making an annual ap propriation of $5,000 for Insurance and re pairs. Two years ago the legislature came to the relief of the Agricultural society , which had become badlv Involved in debt , and appropriated $10,000 to meet pressing obligations. Representative Gurley moved as a rider that the acceptance of this ap propriation shall bs considered and con strued as a perpetual contract between the state fair managers and the state , and that jio further appr prlatlon for this purpose will over be a ked for. The speaker de clared It out of order , but the- spirit ot this proviso was endorsed by a large majority of the members. A part of the other debts have since been liquidated. ! ) It Is now pro posed to make a sufficient annual approprla- tton so that nothing but the most reckless mismanagement - management of the finances will hamper or embarrass the Agricultural society In Its vorklngs. The house passed the following bills : By Cornwall , making the crime cf breaking Jail punishable1 by Impr cnnment not exceeding one year and fine not exceeding $300 ; by Haugcr , adding "civ cs and economics" to the branches" of study required by teachers holding state certificates and extending the llfo of such certificates from one to two j ears.
