The registration of voters throughout the Ity yesterday wan the heaviest In years , hero was little coaxing necessary to gel lie men to the reglHtralton booths , Ihough ioth aides ehowvd considerable activity In Ii-ttln ? out their full strcnglh. In the First leclnct of the First ward , nearly 100 names , vcro enrolled befoto noon , and this was ' arly doubled dutlns the rest of the day. \t ono time the line of voters extended Into ho street In front of Wlu-elcr & Hcreld's nice , whcro the registrars were In scs- lon. In the Second precinct of the First yard there was also a heavy registration. In the First precinct of the Second ward er 250 mimes were placed on the books. The registrars were compelled to close the. Ifico promptly at 9 o'clock , and not a few were compelled to go away without Retting heir names on the books. The Second pre- Inct of the same ward kept well up In lip number of voters registered. Over half of the voting strength of the Sec- nd precinct of the Third ward was broURht . ut yesterday. One hundred and sevcnty- lvi names were placed on the pollbooks ind the prospects of another largo day In .his part of the city Is good for today. There are a large number of railroad men In the lower end of the Third nnd they are all ilftcrmlned to get their names on the regis try lIstH. Tills was the same condition of affairs In the Fourth nnd Fifth wards. In the First precinct of the Fifth over 250 names were registered before the booths rt'cro closed at 9 o'clock. Here considerable ivork was done by the workers of both mrtlcs , nnd both aides claim gains. George W. Turner , chairman of the re > publican city central committee , stated last night that there was no doubt that the party had made substantial gains by the regis tration. "The Fifth and Sixth wards have especially come to the front , and the well known majority of the former ward will be more than equaled this fall. Down In the Sixth there Is undoubtedly a good Increase and the First ward will be In line on elec tion day by an unaccustomed majority. There has been exceptional Interest In the cam paign and It has only Increased over the registration. Every voter Is anxious to get his name on the books and there will be no stay-at-homes cither In the registration or the election. Council Bluffs will un doubtedly break all records In the number of votes cast this fall. " The registration booths will bo kept open oday and tomorrow from 9 a. m. to 9 p. m. , and October 31. The Importance of get ting registered this year Is more than on any previous election , na under the new law every citizen must appear personally an" qualify. To Ro oil Siilr Thin Morning.

A strange suit was prosecuted yesterday In a local Justice court , and It Is not Improb able that the plaintiff will bo prosecuted in the district court'for a confessed flagrant violation of the- Iowa election laws. The suit was brought by P. P. Laustrlp against R. N. WhlttlcHcy , who was chairman of the democratic city central committee last year. Laustrlp alleged that Whlttlesey owed him $2,50 , and when ho went on the witness stand to support his claim ho frankly ad mitted that the debt was created at the lost election and grew out of an arrangement by which he was to cast hU vote for the democratic nominees. Ills explanation and testimony relieved Chairman Whlttlesey of any responsibility of the crime. Laustrlp had been placed on duty as a special police man at one ot the polling places , and during the day ho got very drunk. Just before the poils closed It was discovered that he had not voted and Whlttlesoy called upon him for an explanation. Laustrlp said he had made a deal with another fellow by which he would lose $2.50 If ho voted , but Inti mated that If Whlttlesey would advance the same amount he would vote anyhow. The proposition was declined. A few moments later another man approached Latmtrlp and Inquired the reason of his delay In voting and was Riven the same answer. This man told him to go ahead and vote and ho would Ret his $2.50. Laustrlp followed his advice and voted the democratic .ickct. Tne next day no prcsentcil ins bin o Whlttlesey and was cordially told to ; o to Texas. Lauslrlp glibly testified to the 'oregolng ' facts whllo on the witness stand. The court Informed him that an he was try- 'ng to commit a crime when ho was offering o vote according to Whlttlesey's dictates ho could have no Just claim upon him. The case was thrown out of court. The election law declares that any person offering to sell his vote , or trying to In- lluenco another by the offer of any consider ation , or who agrees to refrain from votliiR , shall be deemed guilty of a felony , and upon conviction shall bo sent to the penitentiary.

Anderson wus sentenced to jiervo ten days In the city Jail for intoxication and vagrancy , and had served two days of his time yesterday morning. Ho had become sober and was penitent and very anxious to get out. An order wan Issued suspending the remainder of the sentence pending gaod behavior and the man wan given his liberty. Yesterday afternoon ho was caught In the ac { of putting Bomethlng through ono of the rear grated windows of the Jail. A prisoner Inside was receiving whatever was being delivered. Anderson was taken to the office , searched and locked up to serve out the unexplrcd portion of his sentence. Nothing could bo found , but the olllcern believe that the fellow was getting a saw Into the Jail for the use of Rlpluy and Hand- ley , the two supposed bad men awaiting a hearing upon the charge of pocket picking.

Anderson , the tramp who loved perfume and hair oil and robbed tliu opera house drug store of a wholesale stock ot It , was given a hearing In the police court yesterday morning. The odor of his crime still clung to him , for all of the concentrated Jail scents were not strong enough to displace the fragrance contained In tbo pound bottle of triple extract of Illy ot the valley which was broken while being taken from liln pocket , and It was useless for him to deny the soft Imueacb- inciit ot the burly police olficcrs who ar rested him , and the mill more burly proprie tor of the drug store \\l\o \ caught him In the act of ( tcallng the stuff. He conie- iiuvntly pleaded guilty , and was sent down to the county Jail to await the action of the grand Jury. Get your winter supply of coal now before the rush and rise In prices. L. M.

"If alt of the democrats In the United Slates could have heard that upccch they would feel that they were traitors alike o their country and their party If they voted for Bryan and his populist heresies , " wan a remark made by a democrat at the lose ot the speech made by John P. Irish n the Odd Fellows' temple last night. Every seat was occupied and It the room had been three or four times as large here still would have been Insufficient room o accommodate those who desired to see and hear. In the audience wcro many peo- lc from Omaha. Ono motor train load ot about fifty men and women entered the hall In a body. W. H. M. Pusey called ho meeting to order and Emmctt Tlnley made a ten minute Introductory speech. Mr. Irish was given a dignified reception when he arose to speak. He began by offerlnp a tribute to Grovdr Cleveland , whoso genius and patriotism was carrying the country through n crisis an dungrrous and fateful as that which pre vailed when the Immortal Lincoln stood at the helm of the national ship ot ntatc and guided It safely through the fear ful storm. Ho denounced the populist plat form adopted at Chicago as outraging every principle of democracy. It advocates nulli fication , ho declared , and ( hen showed the Rht difference between , nullification and secession. Nullification demands the right of the state to iRiiore the power of the federal government to enforce its decree , but at the same time to get all of the benefits of the protection of the Rovcrnmcnt. SoccF.slon simply demanded the right to the name privileges and to go out ot the union to enjoy them. It was left , he said , for the popocratlc platform adopted at Chicago cage to do what secession failed to do. His repudiation ot that platform was the most powerfully eloquently portion of his speech. Mr. Irish began his speech shortly after 8 o'clock , and It was nearly 11 when he concluded. His voice was somewhat husky from excessive speaking , but his In tense Interest In the outcome of the great presidential contest nnd his earnest con viction that the success of the populist prin ciples mean the ruin of American prestlgn and prosperity carried him frequently to great heights ot eloquence. Five minutes of his speech ho devoted to the men who Issued the scurrilous cir cular Inviting the hoodlum. element to break up the mecjlng. It was a most scathing rebuke. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Ilortmayr's fancy patent Hour makes the best and most bread. Ask your grocer for It. .Server IMpe. Klre llrlelc , Wholesale and retail. J. C.

In his report Acting Grand Master Norrls said : "Tho general condition of the order In this Jurisdiction Is not as prosperous as could bo desired. The past year has not been na successful as most of those which have pre ceded. The terrible financial stringency that has pervaded the entire civilized world has had a very noticeable effect upon our order. The season ot the year has arrived when a revival of the work In subordinate lodges should begin , but the present exciting political contest Is overshadow Ing lodRC work as well as other things , and , with the business of the country. It must watt until election Is over and all things have resumed their normal condition. The report of the grand secretary will show a small loss In membership. This Is not due to a lack of Interest on the part of our members nor to any Instability In the principles of our order , but upon the return of prosperity and bounti ful harvests wo will prosper and advance as we have In the years that are past. Indeed , I believe that , Inking all things and condi tions Into consideration , we have , during the last year , done remarkably well. " Grand Secretary I. P. Gage reported that $10,946 had been paid out during the year for relief. During the year 302 were re ceived by Initiation and S32 were dropped for nonpayment of dues.

( Special. ) Tomorrow evening It Is expected that this city will enter Into a contract to lease and operate the Gas and Electric Light company's plant for a period of four years , with the privilege of an extension of the lease at that time- for another ten years and optional purchase. The rental of the plant has been placed at $2,800 per year together with $1.800 per year Interest on the $30,000 bonded Indebtedness ot the con cern. A new schedule of rates will bo In augurated , and the city expects , with the lowering of the charges , to double , the private consumption , and thereby make a profit on the Investment. At the end of the four years the lease will be renewed at a rental of only $1,800 , just enough to pay the In terest on the bonded Indebtedness. The contract does not meet with the unqualified approval of the taxpayers , but as only one or two of the heaviest taxpayers raised a little objection the city council felt Justi fied In making the deal. It Is an experiment lu the theory of municipal ownership , nnd the progress of the undertaking and Us cut- eomc will bo watched with considerable In terest.

You need not be afraid of the twlngo o rheumatism when you have Salvation Oil. AMUSEMENTS. After a long , and to some tastes a wear ) some succession ot serious theatrical enter talnmcnt , an opportunity Is at last afforded to laugh. The theaters have presented le gitimate tragedy , melodrama , problem plays and some very doleful comic opera since the season opened , but nothing avowedly de signed to amuse. Judging from the size of the audlcnre laat night at the Crclghton , and Us manifest enthusiasm , the people arc glad of a little wholesome relaxation. The Gny Parisians" U a screaming farce from the French ; one ot those Ingeniously constructed trlfies which depict the endless complications into which Jealous husbands and wlven lead each other In the frivolous French capital. It Is superlatively well done by the artists who have It In hand. Mr. Ferguson , Mlfa Martinet , Mr. Wells , Mr IJarrows , Mrs. Phillips , Mr. Shirley , Miss Gordon , are all admirable , nnd the fun Is uninterrupted and uproarloua from ovciturc to final curtain. "The Gay Parisians" Is good for the blues. No one should inlns the chance which It affords of an evening of wild hilarity. U may bo seen at the Crclghton for the remainder of the week. Last evening a decidedly novel entertain ment was given at Boyd's theater under the management of Miss C. C. Tennant Clary , In the presence of a fair-sized audi ence. The foreign attraction was Miss Maud Morgan , the Justly noted harpist from New York. It Is a rule with harp players to consume more tlmo In tuning their Instru ment than In playing It , but Miss Morgan broke the rule and played away with won derful technique and expression on an In strument many of the strings of which were not In tune with anything on this terrestrial globe. As a performer she Is certainly one of the best In this country and produces a remarkable volume ot tone and variety of shading. She was warmly applauded by the audience and for encores sang a couple ot ballads with a very full , rich mezzo so prano volco and accompanied herself upon her harp. Speaking of accompaniments , there are a lot of people on this earth who could have learned more than they know about that subject by listening to Mr J. E. Butler last evening. The performance opened long after 8:30 : 'clock with n very pretty dance by six ccn little Rlrls. Mm. C. C Hughe * fol- owed with tin aria by Donizetti. Mrs. \URhcs has a sweet , clear voice , which Is airly well cultivated. With more cxperl- nce will come more confidence In her re- ourccs and more decision In her style of Inglng. After all , lessons ean't do it all ; he public Is the great learner In proof f this statement listen to Jules Lumbard. S'ever had a lofljon but the o given by the real heart of the people , and who that sings s belter understood than he ? I.attly Chl- agn has become a suburb of Onuh.i and vlioii they want nny rent bln&liiK out thne hey cciul here for Mr. Lumbard. Just as n Jersey City they send over to New York f they want anything a little extra. Mr. .umlmrd Is doing much for the musical rep nation of Omaha. Last evening his work vas thoroughly enjoyable.

It Is no easy tiling to Jump Into ho climax of a rcnt play and plve It a iroper representation. Neither the actors nor the audience have been worked up to t , and It comes as n surprise to both It leems overdrawn because no one's feelings Icmand a climax. The work done last even- ng by our native Booths and Bcrnhart was emarkably good the more remarkable when VQ remember the disadvantageous conditions > y which they were surrounded. It has been said that there Is material enough and original Idcr.s enough In "An American Hcnuly" for holt a dozen comic operas , so "fat" Is U , to UPC n theatrical jxpresslon. Gcorgo Lcdcrer , whose Insplra- .lou It Is and who commissioned Messrs. Rli Morton and Gustavo Kcrkcr to write the libretto and the music respectively , wan resolved to present Miss Lillian J'usnoll In a production that couldn't fall to lilt the popular taste nnd It Is said succeeded far je > end his fondest expectations. It Is a well known fact among the craft that the last two opens In which Miss Russell ap peared wcro failures And she freely ex pressed that opinion. For "An Amcilcan Ucauty , " however , she has the most enthu siastic admiration , and with her own role she Is simply delighted. This talented artist supported by n largo and efilclcnt corps ot singers , will be seen at the Crelghton for two ntRhts , commencing Tuesday , October 27. Taffy , Little Blllloand the Laird will again appear bcforo an Omaha audience when "Trilby , " after a triumphant world's tour , returns to the Crclghton for two nights , com mencing with n matinee Sunday , October 25.
