, There has scld-m boon an election In Coun
cil Bluffs that called forth the activities ot
all classes of politicians and voters to such
a degree as tno contest that WMS made yes
terday for city offices. There was no
particular reason for the extra effort made
on all sides to get out the full vote of both
parties , for there were n > questions Involved
that made a republican or a democratic vic
tory of more than ordinary Importance to the
general public.
The contest wns fought out on different
lines than nre usually followed. The per
sonnel ol each ticket was without objection ,
and each candidate was regarded as a pretty
god fellow. This gave a tone of good feeling
to the fight that removed many of the un
pleasant features ot previous city elections.
The policy of the candidates was to go on a
st'H hunt for votes , and not a man of them
overlooked an opportunity tc- get every voter
to the polls. The result was a large regis
tration and a heavy vote. The vote , how
ever , would havu been heavier If the polls
had not ciosed at C o'clock. This order was
the means of depriving quite n number of
voters of their constitutional privileges , es
pecially In the Sec nd ward , where a large
number of worklngmen and mechanics vote ,
At the Second precinct of this ward there
was almost a mob of voters striving to get
m when tie ! polls closed. Watches were a
little slow and the polls were held open a
few minutes after the big clock struck. The
Judges felt very much Inclined to give every
man his right , but the question as to the
legality of the election If the time was ex
tended , wns suggested. It was decided net
to take any chances and the polls were closed
when the watches of the Judges Indicated 6
o'clock.
There has been no question for povrial
days but that the vote on mayor would be
close , and the first returns emphasised this
fact. When thp returns began coming in
at the different headquarters the one fact
made certain was that for maynr nt least
It was to be a decidedly clcso finish , and
each bunch of figures reported furnished
some consolation to each partJn the re
publican wards Carson's vote was lighter
tl'.in lily friends' had anticipa'nl , nnd the
democrats would jubilate over" the nltuatlon
for a time. Then a demicrillc s.trougichl |
would bo heard from , and , iinlngg would
be found considerably short of the vote he
had been counted as good for , and then
the republicans would have a chance to crow
a while.
The democrats made their headquarters
at the Grand hotel and crowded the lobby
ot that place to Its utmost. Along toward
midnight everything had been hwrd from
except the first precinct of the Fifth ward ,
and Carson had a plurality of thirty-three.
Rumors came up that the republicans of
that precinct were knifing Careen and Al
derman Brewick , and democratic hopes went
up again > nd cheers were offered for Mayor
Jennings , when a messenger arrived with
the Information that Jennings had carried
the ward by fifty majority , giving him the
election by fifteen. It was nearly 2 o'clock
when the final returns were received from
the missing precinct , and the democrats , had
all cone homo.

The election yesterday nt Manawa was of
a rather exciting nature. There were forty-
two votea registered nnd thirty-eight cast.
Colonel Reed had been nominated on tl.o
dcmosratle ticket , anil Colonel Beck repre
sented the citizens' crganl/atlon , which WHI
pledged'to defeat the colonel and his plan
for dissolving the village corporation. There
were only fourteen rei\dent voters , but the
factions had been at work colonizing. A
great deal of bitter feeling had been cn-
gandered during the campaign and during
the day there were several narrow escapes
from serious collision ? . The outlook ap
peared so threatening nt one time that a
call WOB made for the sheriff , and ii deputy
was Pint down to prevent bloodshed and
keep the pcacs.
When the count was finished last nlpht
It was found that tl.o Beck faction had cai-
rled the day by a vote of M to 24 , thus reelecting -
electing Beck and defeating the dissolution
rcliemc.
There are several questions connected with
the > election that will be fought cut In the
courts. The HeeJ faction Is determined
upon securing the dlteolutlon of the toun
corporation , and this Is aloj said to be
favored by a Urgs portion of the BMc
ciowd , notwithstanding they voted agitlntt
It.

favor of T. C , Ford , the republican , and

The cato U a peculiar one. At the elec
tion In 1S94 Dunmlre was declared elected

Judge Thorncll's decision to the supreme
court , and that body refused to consider
the matter , asserting that It had no , Juris
diction In the case under the peculiar state
of affairs.
The caw that was up yesterday was on
application of Ford for an order requiring
Dunmlre to get out at some specified time.
On the showing made Judge Thornell Issued
an order requiring Dunmlre to turn over
the office to FeM on March 11.
Dunmlre's atttvnoys have filed a eupsr-

A result has been obtained at Atchlson ,
Kan. , by the Chicago and Atchlson Bridge
company which Is of national Importance ,
says the Kansas City Times. After the ex
penditure of vast sums of money by the.
government , the railroad companies , nnd the
bridge company In tncflectual efforts ? , In usual
ways , to check the ravages of t'.ie Missouri
river , the bridge company , for an Insignificant
sum , and by work that only received the
sneers ot the government river commission ,
has actually changed the channel of the river ,
raved Its own costly structure , and made the
reclamation of hundreds of acres ot valuable
land a certainly.
Atchlson ItJ situated at the apex of the
"Grand Djtour" of the Missouri river , and
the tracherous stream at that point has , for
many years , been a sx > urce of great annoyance
and expense to the government , the bridge
company , nnd the several rallVMd companies
whooo traffic Is over the bridge. Possibly the
money that has been expended In rip-rap ,
dykes , nnd mattress work will aggregate a
quarter of a million dollars , but not a stone
or plr or mattrsss Is In evidence today. The
joint expenditure of the government nnd
bridge company In 1S91 was not lese than $75-
000. In that year's work 1,500 carloads of
heavy stone and 4,000 cords of willow brush
were used. It was the year of the greatest
devastation. Four to five- hundred ncrco of
rich Missouri bottom land were washed away.
Eighty houses , with their gardens and or
chards , being the residence part of East AtchIson -
Ison , fell a prey to the remonJilesa cutting of
the current. The tracks of three of the four
railroad lines were destroyed , and the great
bridge llsclf was looked upon , ns doomed. As
n res lit of the cutting of the river on the Mis
souri side , which had been going on for many
years previous to 1394 , an Island containing
400 or 500 acres had formed on the Kansas
side where the current formerly flowed.
In the spring of 1895 the bridge company
conceived the idea that a canal cut through
th'a Island would lessen the pressure of the
current on the Missouri side , and , possibly , In
time , divert It. At an expense of only $13-
000 the compiny constructed the canal. H
was 6.SOO feet long , sixty to eighty feet wide ,
and eight feet deep. The result waa surpris
ing. Government engineers , old steamboat
men , and people generally looked upon Its
construction as a foolltli proceeding. But
within six months the course of the river wao
through the canal. The Island has been
eaten away , and the vast body cf land on the
M'ssourl ' side , over which the river flowed I&H
than a year ago , Is ready to be reclaimed ;
the railroad tracks have bzsn relald ; the
bridge company has no fear of the future , and
It Is hardly possible that the government will
bo called upon again In this generation for an
appropriation for river work at Atchlson.
A DAY I.V 1IEIJ.
All Experiment Few Healthy leo\ile
Ilnvo Kver Tried.
One often hears somebody say with glae
that he Is going to take a day off or a day
In the country or a day on the river , siy.s
the Pittsburg Times , but seldom , If e\cr ,
that he Is going to take a day In bed ; nnd
yet a day so spent when one really needs a
day off Is one which deserves a red letter
record In history. Ono lies late of Sunday
mornings , and tells what a luxury'it Is not
to have to get up at the usual hour , but one
never knows the glory of such a thing till
ho spends a whole day In bed. To enjoy It
one iinibt not be sick , nor pretend to bo ; he
must be In fairly good health and free from
trouble or worry of any sort. Then he Is
entirely himself , and It Is the only place in
which he can be. As soon as he dresses he
comes under restraint , not merely physical ,
but m6ntal , for no one can wholly escape the
Influence of his clothes , whether they be good
or bad , In fashion or out. For ages character
has been Identified with clothes , and will be
for ages , In spite of all that has been or will
be said agaliibt it. One may not always be
conscious of the Influence , but It exists all
the same. Not a trace of It Is felt when one
Is In bed. There ho Is free. Ho can twist
a nil roll and kick and throw his arms about
as ho will. If he should do the like else
where there would be suspicions of his san
ity. A day In bed is not a day of rest
merely , but of liberty. He has the Infinite
for his own.
Not a few of Pope's best lines came to
him while In bed. Thomson composed his
fipcit descriptions of natural scenery while
in bed. A like thing doubtless may be said of
historians and Inventors , and surely of the
humorists. There Is little doubt that the live
liest Jokes current were thought out while
their authors were In bed. The blood flows
freely then , digestion does Its perfect work ,
the mind Is relieved of the care of the body ,
the Imagination and fancy roam the earth
and skies and gather of their treasures ; the
Inscriptions on the tablets of memory como
out and Incident and adventure recur In a
light of their own , suggesting new ideas and
relations. One never knows what life Is till
ho has spent a day In bed , In full or fair
health , without a thought save those which
como smiling to him In his rest.

Prof. S. P. Langley , secretary of the
Smithsonian Institute , in his report for the
last fiscal year , recommends that effective
measures should be taken fti preserve the
small herd of bison that . remains In the
Yellowstone National park , survivors of the
vast multitude that once roamed In freedom
over the western plains. The number , he
says , Is much smaller than It has generally
been suppsed to be , and probably does not
exceed fifty , and ho insists that if protection
la not given to them there will bo a opcedy
extinction of their speecles. A few groups
ot so-called "wood bison" are still to be
found In the desolate wilds of the British
Northwest Territory , but It la not thought
that in number they exceed 200 , and hunters
go even Into that remote region and destroy
them. A email herd has for some lima
been known to "be In the northwestern part
of Texas , and It Is said ta have been recn a
short time ago , the estimate being that it
contained fifty head of cattle.
Assuming , says the New York Tribune ,
that these figures are approximately correct ,
It follows that of the millions of the great
animal which played an Important part In
the hlstcry of the struggle to extend the
frontier of civilization , not more than 300
are surviving on the North American conti
nent , outside of the few specimens which
are to be found In the zoological gardens ol
our own nnd other cities. Prof. Langlej
rccsmmends that the herd In the Yellow
stone region should bo captured nnd placed
in the National Zoological park at Washing
ton , where they would be fully protected.
Doubtless they would Increase sulflclently to
allow the starting of small herds in various
parts of the country , and thus save the race
from becoming as extinct as is the dcilo or
the pterodactyl. There Is more than mere
santlment in this suggestion , and the buffalo
Is just as worthy of preservation as Is any
thing else that is identified with our marvel
ous development.
