Brewick. , 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. KbKCTIO.V AT .MA.VIWI.

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.

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. Animated MoerHeliitum.

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.

If weak and easily ex hausted ; pale and with out appetite ; if the nerv ous system is weak , and sleep difficult , what do you take ? Iron ? But iron cannot supply food to the tissues ; nor does it have any power to change the 'activity of unhealthy organs and bring them back to health. Cod-liver oil is T what you need. The oil feeds the poorly-nour ished tissues , and makes rich blood. Iodine , bro mine , and other ingredi ents , which form part of r the oil , have special power to alter unhealthy action. of Cod-liver Oil , with Hypophosphites , is the most palatable way to take cod-liver oil.
