The democrats of the First ward nro en deavoring to Induce George Rtldlo to accept the nomlnitlon on their ticket for alderman.

A strong effort to select J. C. Ahles ns nldcrmnn for the second ward Is on foot. The petition to place his name on the bal lot has the signatures of some of the strong est men In the ward from the three political parties , who favor retrenchment In municipal cffalrs.

CANDID MAN'S ' CONFESSION Ijatity Oommisiioners Listen to a Qneo Story of Pioneer Days , 3NELLING CAMPBELL'S ' EVENTFUL LIFE ClmrKcd it Illi IiiNniiUy , lint Aciittlttct After n Uriel llcnrlnjt Wllil Career of it Fallen ailnlttcr. Something of a bad boy In his youthful days , n handy man In n fight In the frontier towns , a preacher ot the goppcl for twenty years , now a backslider and an insurance agent , a confessed "winner" among women , and a candidate for examination before the Insanity commission , That's the life record In brief of Snclllng U. Campbell , an old man who was before the commissioners of Insanity on a charge preferred by his wife. The details of the story would nil a big book nnd would bo ns Interesting as any romance of theiu Inter days. The charge against Mr. Campbell wns preferred by his wife , who filed an Informa tion with the county authorities charging that Campbell had been crazy for several months , since last May In fact , and had lately become violent and had threatened her life. When the Information was fllcd Sheriff Morgan went up to Lovcland , Campbell's homo , and found that his man had disap peared. It was understood that Campbell had left the town because he heard of the complaint made by his wlfo , but later devel opments showed that he had gone away on business. Ho returned home on Friday evenIng - Ing and yesterday morning he sent n telePhone - Phone message to the sheriff stating that ho would como down If he was wanted. Ho understood , ho said , that he had beeii charged with Insanity , and that If such \\as the case ho wanted to know it. His life had been ono of experiences , and If Insanity wns to be Included In the list of accomplish ments ho had acquired ho was ready to amumo the responsibility at once. Sheriff Morgan told Campbell that ho had bettor como down , and ho arrived yesterday nftcr- noon and asked to have his hearing at once. once.CAMPBELL'S CAMPBELL'S CANDID CONFESSION. Mrs. Campbell , the complaining witness , was not present , but the board decided to go on with the examination of Campbell , and the members were not long In finding cut that It was simply a case of airing some dirty domestic linen In court , nnd that there was no reason whatever for the charge against him. Campbell said he had nothing to conceal. He had been a bad man and a good one In his time , but had never yet stooped to lying about himself cr his doings. Ho said that ho came to Council Bluffs a great many years ngo , when the country was wild enovgh for any border native. He lived hero and had the reputation of being the hardest man in a flght that there was In the camp. Ho staid until the refining Influ ences of civilization began to bo felt , and then he moved further west. In the mean time he had married a frontier bride , who had gone with him thrsugh all the vicissi tudes of fortune , and had only recently , when both are on the shady sldo of life , become estranged from him. Mr , Campbell told the board some of his frontier experiences. He said that he had been held up In Arizona by twelve men , who took his wife from him and had kept her away from his several days. Again In Wash ington territory his wife had been kidnaped by rufilans and abused shamefully. All of these facts were well known by him , and still he and his wife lived happily together. Finally , after twenty years of the roughest kind of life , both ho nnd his wlfo were con verted at a religious revival and ho was called to preach the gospel. He went Into the ministry of the Baptist church and preached the word for tweny years. Ho was preaching in Mills county , something more than a year ago , when ho fell a victim to the wllos cf a pretty woman , lost his posl- tloln In the church nnd nearly broke up his home. In view of his past life and the many vicissitudes they had borne together , his wlfo cqndorted the offense , and then they re moved to Loveland , where ho has since been engaged In the flro insurance business. Some time ago his wife again became estrange < from him , for reasons which ho could not' ' un derstand , nnd for several months they have lived" very unhappily. Six weeks ago his wife demanded a division of the property , and Mr. Campbell though to humor her and acceded to the demand Ho was called away on business , and though that when ho returned his wife would have gotten over her tantrum and all would be lovely again. In this he was mistaken. Ho came homo a few days ago to find that his wlfo was more estranged than ever , and in a few days their differences culminated in the filing cf the charge of Insanity agalnsi him. him.After After hearing the full story of the ex- minister , the board unanimously decided thai there was no ground for the complaint , ani Mr. Campbell was discharged with n clean bill , so far ns his mental equipment Is con cerned. Campbell Is 61 years of age. CCM/Y- CONCLUDED TO COME I'oIlccmcii'H Revolver * Pernnnilc C. HniiKli to > Go to the City Jnll. That prominent citizen , C. Hough , who was married several weeks ago , began to celebrate the event early Friday evening. Dy midnight ho waa In that state Of mind .that has led him to commit acts challenging public attention , and IIB became Involved In his usual trouble with the police. Ho vis ited Liberty hall while there was a meeting In progress. Something In the proceedings or the rulings of the chairman did not suit him , and ho proceeded to lick the man near est to him. This happened to be A. Shurt- llff. The man succeeded In keeping out of Hough's way until ho got out of the build ing. Then ho went to the police headquar ters and lodged a complaint of assault and battery against Hough. The city clerk was pulled out of bed and a warrant Issued In the usual manner. The ofllccrs have bad a good deal of trouble with Hough , and have received Instructions for their protection to secure a warrant before attempting to ar rest him , and If they had to resort to severe measures they wouU have the legal author ity for doing so. Officers Peterson and Slead served the warrant. They visited Hough's house , and found him In bed , Just drunk enough to fight. Ho refused to come out and laid back upon his rights ns an Amer ican citizen , which he declared did not cn- tltlo him to the honor of an arrest every time ho became drunk. The officers had gone without their revolvers , and while one of them went back to the station to fetch the guns , Hough relented and agreed to go to Jail. Yesterday morning ho took a change of vcnuo to Justice Cook's court , and the hear ing ot his case was postponed for a week , owing to the extraordinary rush of busi ness at the justice's court. Hough declares that this tlmo ho Is not guilty , and that he did not have any trouble with Shurtllff or any other man at Liberty hall. of ( iooil rnitli. Milton Simons was arraigned before Com missioner Stcadman on the charge of having attempted to pass a confederate bill as good coin of the realm. It was not any trouble to prosecute the case at all , Simon admitted that he had offered the bill as currency. He had como by It honestly and had seen eo little money for a good while that he did not know but the bill was worth 100 cents on the dollar. Com missioner Steadman decided that there was not evidence sufllclent to hold Simon to tbo federal court. Some of the officials seem to think that a case can bo yet made against Simon and his matter will be brought to the attcnt'on of the federal grand Jury , Half 1'rlco Sale nt Franio.

SiipprJntrmlont rnulNon'N Plan Giving Kxceltrtit Ilctiirim , County Superintendent of Schools Paulson's plan for getting the school directors of the different districts of the county together In an Informal meeting for a discussion of plans for the advancement of the best Intcrcstu of the county schools has been very successfully Inaugurated , The convention called at the superintendent's office yesterday was at tended by about sixty representatives of the various school districts of the county and the cntlro day was spent In discussion ot questions presented by the superintendent nnd by directors present. The meeting was organized by the election of Colonel W. E. Remington of Neola chair man and L. 0. Williams of Lewis townsh'p secretary. The meeting discussed n num ber ot proposed amendments to the Iowa school law , the most rndlcil of tlicso being presented by H. Mcn.lcl and W. H. Klllpack ot the Ncola Board of Education , recommend ing that the position of school treasurer bo abolished and that the echool funds bo In charge cf the county treasurer. There was a reason lor this recommendation by the Neola representatives In the meeting. Charley AltmanpperRcr recently scooped the school treasury ct Ncola and the school board at that place haj become unanimous In ask ing for n change. Mr. Remington , In urging action on the proposed change , stated that there waa a flght every year at Ncola over the school board election and that It was not for the purpose of getting good men Into the school board , but was for the purpose of deciding which of the banks of the town should handle the school district's money. Other directors present did not favor the plan proposad by the Neola delegates and the matter was placed on flic. The question of compulsory education was discussed at length and a rcsolut on finally adopted appointing n committee to memorial ize the legislature for nn amendment to the school law , providing that all children be tween the nges cf 7 and 15 years be required to attend school at least six months of each year. Among the other resolutions adopted and referred to the legislative commlttco were tl.o following : That school meetings should be held on Saturday Instead of on Mondny. That diplomas should bo given to those who comp'cto the eighth grade of the course prepared by the state superintendent of public Instruction. Thut directors should bo paid Jl each for rc-Rulnr nnd socclnl meetings. . Thnt part of the teachers' school fund Ehould be paid out In proportion to the nvcr- ngo attendance. That the efllclency , grnde and pay of the Iowa tenchers should bo raised. That a majority of n township board nnd not a mnjorlty of a quorum ehou'd be re quired to dispose of Important matters be fore the board. That women should have the right to vote on nil school questions. A motion to authorize township boards to create Independent districts on a petitioner or vote of n majority of two-thirds of the subdlstrlcts was dcfcnted , as wns also a iroposltlon that teachers bo employed by he year. A committee , consisting of Superintendent \iulson , L. 0. Williams of Lewis and Dr. F. H. Swanson ot Hazel Dell , was appointed o prepare the resolutions adopted and pre- ent them to the state legislature. The meet- ng adjourned nt 4 o'clock , subject to the call of the county superintendent. CAMPAIGN IIECOMIXG COMPLICATED VuiitcroiiN Candidates in tlic Kiel d nml Keniilt Very Doubtful. Every man who has a polo out for n political persimmon can find some consola- lon In reading the list of delegates selected ast night to the republican city convention , vhlch will be held Wednesday afternoon nt ho court house. The attendance at the primary caucuses was larger than over before known in the ilstcry of city campaigns In Council Bluffs. The plentlfulncss of candidate timber anl : ho silence of the machine leaders led to complications that resulted In giving every- > ody a show and a following In the con vention. Judeo Carson has * the endorsement of his own ward nnd a following in almost ivory other ward in the city. Mayor Cleaver ms a strong following and can come nearer seeing a nomination in the list of delegates elected than can any other candidate. W. J. Jameson will have delegates enough to , let the convention know he Is a candidate and the machine has a healthy showing In several precincts with a sprinkling in every ward In the city. The present Indications are that the candidate who gets the nomination at the convention will be compelled to ac quire strength that Is not now In sight , and the time between this and next Wednesday will bo directed in the line of tioups nnd compromises. In the First ward there was present the largest croud of voters that has attended a ward caucus in the history ot the city. There were between 200 and 300 republicans present. The Intention was to hold the cau cus In one building , both precincts voting Jointly for aldermen , nnd then gathering at each end of the room for the purpose of selecting precinct delegates , but the crowd Jammed I ho building to the point of suffocation. After the nomina tion for alderman the second precinct had to sek other quarters. J. R. Bell wns nominated on the flrst ballot for the council by a majority of three-fourths of the votes cast. There was a good natured flght for delegates , In which the friends of Judge Carson were the most active , and largely outnumbered all others. It was Carson's own ward , and in both precincts a motion to Instruct the delegates to vote for him In the convention was carried , but not without some opposltlqn. The second choice ot the delegates will bo Cleaver. Delegates First precinct , F. A. Grout , H. Van DoBogert , George II. Corliss , Carl Mor gan. Grout was made commlttecman for the ensuing year.

Clifton , William Klnzel , Frank Sadowskl and E. S. Allen. Second Precinct William Blood , B. Wil son , John Burlew.'F. M. Boren and C. B. Howard. There were ninety-seven votes In the First precinct nnd forty In the Second. T. A. [ irewick was unanimously nominated for re election as alderman , and W. A. Hlghsmlth was named for ward commltteeman , The delegation to the convention Is badly split up , the eleven men of the ward representing nearly that number of tickets that were in the field.

A southern cattle shipper , In speaking about the quarantine orders , said yesterday : "A few years ago ttie closing of the trail In addi tion to quarantine restrictions prevented the stcckmen of southern Texas from soiling tholr young cattle to northern ranchmen , It broke a few of the stockmen to begin with , but the effect on the beef market has put them In better condition than ever.

Texas will prosper whsn Montana has to breed and ralso all the cattle It markets. At present a dozen or more Montana ranch men from the vicinity of Great Falls are In Texas purchasing young cattle.
