Some Indignation Is expressed at the action
of some overly enthusiastic McKinlcyitcs
at an early hour yesterday morning. After
the McKlrJcy guards and a host of volun
teers had returned from serenidlng T. J.
Evans , at 2 o'clock , and Informing him with
the most discordant yells that his patron
saint , Bryan , was overthrown the plan of
extending similar compliments to other
prominent. Bryan supporters was followed.
In pursuance of this purpose a beterogenoub
mob gathered around the residence of V. A.
Ilixby , president of the Bryan political club ,
who has taken a modest and deep Interest
in the campaign. There were a number of
llambeau torches In the crowd and the men
bearlt.K them entered the yard of Mr. Bix-
by'e residence. The torches revealed the
( act that a great amount of bunting and
flags and many Bryan pictures had been
used to decorate the dwelling. The enthu
siasm of some of tbo members of the crowd
prompted them to strip these ornaments
from the house and throw them In a pile
In the yard. The same spirit of mischief
prompted others to apply a torch to the
pile. Mr. Blxby had not returned , and Mr * .
( Bixby was alone In the house. The sight
of the blazing bunting and the uproar fright
ened her very much , and when Mr. Blxby
reached the bouse he found her in a state
bordering on nervous prostration. The act
was severely condemned by all who heard
of It.

An officer from Portsmouth , la. , was In
'Jgjf city yesterday with a warrant for the
arrcJt of a Council Bluffs man named Otto
Roderick. When the nature of the charge
against the young man was made known to
them the Council Bluffs officers refused to
serve the warrant and arrest him. He was
notlfU J that he was wantvd and came up to
the station. A week ago Roderick hired
! livery team at Portsmouth to drive to
ft an and return , a distance of fifteen
riaiik * . He started at S o'clock in the morn-
'ing and returned the team to the livery
man at 5 o'clock in the afternon , after
having made the journey of thirty miles.
Ono of the horses was taken sick during the
trip and the last seven miles of It was
traveled with great deliberation. During the
eight the horse died. Roderick offered to
pay half of the value of the horse , and the
liveryman doubled the value of the animal.
While the dispute was pending Roderick
left the village and came to Council Bluffs
to vote. Immediately after his departure
the warrant was issued. Roderick will go
down to Portsmouth this morning.

An order was issued at noon yesterday
auspendlng work on the government rip-
rapping on the river north of the city. The
work ha * not been finished , but has pro
gressed as far as it can to advantage. A
cumber of the boats will remain during the
winter. Erough men have been retained
to pull these boats out of the water , and
when this work is finished there will be no
employment there for any but the single
watchman , who will look after the boats
and thi other property the government will
be obliged to leave exposed. Last fall a
large amount of loose coal was left lying on
the Iowa bank and a good many people con
eluded that It was their legitimate prey.
It was carried away by the sackful and
the wagon load. There were some threats of
prosecution , but no determined effort was
made to locate the people who bad warmed
at the government expense. The federal
engineers will not be eo obliging this sea-
ton and will leave nothing on the banks

The above vote is a fair average of that
cast for all the candidates throughout the
county.
Several Irregularities are alleged to have
been discovered in the counting of ballots
and the making out of the returns. In the
First precinct of the Fifth ward the judges
and clerks ( ailed to make out the returns
as required by law. and it Is reported that
a contest may be made by the defeated town ,
ship democratic candidates , cs this precinct
gave a good republican majority. II it were
set aside It would be sufficient to elect most
of them. The republicans say that in the
First precinct of the Sixth ward a-number
of votes were allowed to go in that bad been
marked twice once en the democratic and
the other on the populist column. These
were construed to be straight free silver
votes and were counted , es the names in
both columns were the same. By a strict
construction of the law these ballots should
have been thrown out as having been
spoiled.
Republicans are preparing to celebrate the
election of McKlnley Saturday evening , and
a monster demonstration 18 being planned
( or. Soliciting committees have already
started on the work of raising a red fire
and fireworks fund , and all the local repub
lican organizations will turn out. Excur
sions will b run in from the surrounding
towns.
The posting of fake telegrams announcing
the possible election of Bryan created con
siderable excitement here ( or some time ,
but It soon subsided , as the truth was shown
by authentic information from the various
( tales.

An air of settled , ceaseless gloom pre
vailed all around the vicinity of the Bryan
headquarters last night. The same kind of
-loom was In evidence from midnight of
the previous night until 3 o'clock yesterday
afternoon , when it was partially and tem
porarily dispelled by the receipt of the gam
bler's bulletins sent out from the Bryan
headquarters In Chicago announcing the
versal of the great republican victory. It
quickly gathered again when it was learned
that the wild stories of democratic gains
ind republican losses had been sent out to
let the Bryanltes hedge on their bets. At
S o'clock the lights of the building were
shut off and the doors of the McKlnley
headquarters were locked. The Bryau
quarters were still occupied by a most bol-
tcrouR gang , and one little lamp illumined
the big hall. Complaints were made to the
police , and a squad of oarers were sent
around to clear out the crowd. This was
done with some difficulty , and the place
permanently closed. To accentuate the
gloom forno bad man tied a piece of black
crape to the door , with a Bryan badge at
tached to each end.

Miss Eda Sickles , the 21-year-old daugh
ter of General Sickles , is a young girl of
Spanish type , of beautiful ( ace and figure ,
brownish-black hair and deep black eyes.
fringed with long eyelashes. She is adored
by every one in the party of the generals.
She worships her father , and she Is the
"apple of his eye , " says the Kansas City
Star. She has only been in America a ( ew
weeks , and she speaks English Imperfectly.
She has lived all her life In a convent In
Madrid , Spain , and the story of It Is like
this :
When General Sickles was United States
minister to Spain under General Grant , he
married a beautiful senorlta of excellent
family. Two children were born of the mar
riage a boy. George Stanton Sickles , and
Eda Sickles. When General Sickles was
ready to return to America bis Spanish wife
preferred to remain , and her father , a
wealthy old Spanish nobleman , made hi *
will , providing that the boy and girl should
Inherit all his riches provided they should
remain in Spain till they were of age. the
boy to stay with his mother and the girl
to be educated in a convent. The daughter
became of age a little more than a month
iCgo and she and ber brother sailed at once
for America. When tby got to New York
they learned that their father was out in
the country making political speeches and
would be back the next day. They were al
the Grand Central station to meet him
The meeting between the old general and
hU daughter , whom he had not seen since
she was 6 years old. was thus described In
a newspaper of New York :
"As General Sikles alighted from the
train and walked down the platform a
young girl with a beautiful face and figure
stepped forward and exclaimed In a sweet ,
well-modulated voice : 'Is this not General
Sickles ? ' He bowed and answered. 'It Is. '
Thereupon the young woman , looking him
straight in the.eyes. exclaimed with a merry
laugh , which revealed two rows of perfect
teeth , 'Don't you know me ? ' The general ,
again bowing , but this time also smiling.
eald : "Pardon , but I aitm confess and aUo
regret that you have the advantage. ' The
young girl , not a bit embarrassed , looked at
the gentral affectionately and replied :
"Look at me. Don't you know me ? Don't
you know your daughter Eda' " Then the
general clasped her to his breast. "
A few days after this meeting General
Sickles started out on his campaign tour and
his son and daughter went with him. It is
affecting to see with what love and adoration
the daughter looks upon her father. She is
always by his side when he makes a speech
The sight of the old veteran told lens crowdIng -
Ing around to clasn the hand of the father
has moved her deeply , and she eaye she loves
the American people , though ehe cannot un
derstand why they make such a fu&s over
the election of a president. She Is as witty
as the is good looking , and well educated
When General Alger was firet Introduced to
her by her father in Chicago he said :
"You are the prettiest girl I have ever
seen. "
She replied in broken English : "You have
seen very little , general. "
She kisses her father every morning , no' '
only once , but she covers his fac : with klss-s
At over ) ' elation through Kansas bouquets
of flowers were passed up to the train , one
those were all gathered up by the ncxvs
paper men and given to Miss Sickles. A
one station she was asleep when the train
stopped and the armful of bouquets were
plied against her stateroom door. When
she opened her door next morning the
flowers fell in over her feet and she clappei
her bands in delight

J. J. Trainor. the driver of the hack which
contained William J. Bryan Monday night
states that the reports that he brutal ) ;

very much exaggerated. He simply flirted
the whip at the boy to mnke him get off
the carriage , and with no Intention of hit

accompanied the boy came to him at the
time and he apologized for the affair am
supposed that settled It.

The police yesterday located W. E. Sherl

to estimate accurately the democratic ma
jority In Virginia. Returns are slow , but
the democrats have not less than 20,000. and
by the last advices all the congressional dis
tricts , save the Ninth and Tenth , which are
republican. These districts are In the
Shenandoah valley aud southwestern part
of the state.

TACOMA , Nov. 4. Bryan and the fusion
ticket have apparently carried the state by
a majority of less than 5.000 and will concede
the legislature to the republicans. Com
plete returns from fifty-nine precincts in
Washington , outside of Tacoma and Seattle ,
give McKlnley 2.S0. Bryan 3.320 ; Sullivan ,
republican candidate for governor , 2.S19 ;
Rogers , fusion. 3.413.
SEATTLE. Wash. . Nov. 4. It is Impossi
ble at this hour to give any figures on party
strength in Washington's legislature , but
it is certain that the fuslonists will have
good majorities. The national and state
.Ickets are also fusion by large majorities.

WHEELING. W. Va. . Nov. 4. Incomplete
returns received during the day continue
to show republican gains , and there is no
reason to change last night's figures of
15,000 plurality.
All four republican candidates for con
gress are undoubtedly elected by increased
majorities. Atkinson , rep. , for governor ,
and the entire republican state ticket are
elected and both branches of the legislature
are republican. The gold democrats gen
erally voted the republican ticket.
CHARLESTON. W. Va. . No" . 4. From the
best information received al democratic
hindquarters , it U apparent , that InVe t
Virginia all four congressmen have been
elected by the republicans.

MILWAUKEE , Nov. 4. The estate Is re
publican by about 100.000. The .legislature
Is solid republican and the entire congres
sional delegation Is of the ea'me com
plexion.
At midnight the changes made by fuller
returns from nearly all the , counties of the
state and close estimates on the remaining
counties , show an increased majority for the
republican presidential ticket' In Wiscon
sin. The Indications now are that the pres
ent plurality for the presidential ticket of
55.S35 will be Increased by 'the'rreturns ' yet
to come In.

That sooner or later an apparatus would

* wn at a great distance. Just at sounds
re heard from afar by means of the tele-
hone has been considered probable for a
one time.
It U a strange eolncUence. pays the AI-
Journal , that announcement Is made
si Imultaneoutly from sections of the globe
( ar remote from each other that the expected
avention has been made. One of the In-
enters Is a Swedish physician. Concern-
BI ; the details of his discovery nothing has
> ecn nude public. The other man who
hi as discovered the secret of "looking through
a wire" It Dr. Frank M. Close of Oakland ,
'si. He calls his apparatus a "telcctro0 | !
cope" that Is. an apparatus for seeing
afar by meant of electricity.
There are two boxes connected by a line
ol f wire. One of these boxee U called the
r ecelver < and the other the transmitter. In
rent of the receiver a piece of tourmaline
f Iceland spar is placed , and opposite to
his is the eye of the person testing the
ipparatus.
In front of the openln ; of the transmitter
nd directed upon some sort of electrical dc-
rlee , the nature of which Dr. Cloe does not
eveal. is placed a lighted candle. Imme
diately the eye percelvt * the flame of the
'andle. ' although In an adjoining roam or a
eng distance away , the tourmaline of the
receiver It removed , though the lighted
andle remains at the transmitter , no light
ta seen.
The explanation of this phenomena Dr.
'lose makes by reference to the transnils-
; lcn of sound by e-le-otrlcltv that It. to the
elephonc. Exactly what happens when you

a person at the other end of the line hears
rour voice Is that the sound wave striking
upon the thin disk of the transmitter ret up

ittle more scientific. Iniprif s upon the elec-
rlc current Bowing through the wire a
ierles of vlbratlans which have the effect ,
when an apparatus similar to that of the
transmitter U thrust into the circuit some
llstance away , to set up vibrations in a
second disk which exactly reproduce the
; ound of your voice.
Now , a very accurate description of Just
what happens when you see a given object

Now. supposing that the Image of an ob- j
cct striking a mirror or something corre-
spending to a mirror shc-uld be made o eel
up vibrations in an electric wire. Just exactly -
actly as a sound wave striking on the thin
disk of the telephone transmitter sets up a
series of vibrations , it is not hard to under
stand that If there were a suitable apparatus
at the other end of the wire to reverse the
process and reproduce upon a second mirror
or screen the vibrations excited at the oppol
site end. jou would be able to see th/ough
a. wire Just as you now talk through it. In
> ther words , it would be possltle to transmit
images for almost any conceivable distance.
Naturally , the apparatus Is still In a very
crude state. Just as nearly all Inventions are
at present. But inasmuch as the means of
the electrical transmission of light waves
has been discovered , the devekpment and
perfection thereof will be merely a matter
of time.

In the River Seine a small quantity of
gold exists In a state of division so fine as
to be invisible to the unaided eye , and it
Is said that when the sand of the rlve'r
near Paris is used in makine class , the
crucibles In which It Is melted arc fre
quently found to be gilded over at the bet
tom. , In former times. In fact , a sort of
mining was in vogue on the Seine , at Paris ,
carried on by men who would buy 5 francs'
work of quicksilver , and , after passing the
sand of the river over It all day , would
sell ' It in the evening for 6 or 7 francs a
kind of work which , however , for some rea
son i was discontinued. Almost all the rivers
of Europe carry small quantities of gold In
their sands , such as the Rhine , the Seine.
the ' Aar. the Reuse , the Danube and others.
also the Clyde and many other streams In
Scotland. Ireland , Wales and Cornwall : and ,
though one ton of rand from tbo bed of the
Rhine , for Instance , yields only 9 grains
of gold , or one-fifth of an ounce , yet the
total amount of the yellow metal In that one
river U , believed to be Immense. It has
been found , indeed , by careful scientific ex
amination and calculation , that that part of
the River Rhine alone which flows through
what was formerly a portion of French ter
ritory. contains no less than 30.000 tons of
pure gold.

Two young men boarded an Oldtown trolley
oar one afternoon this -.veek. says the
Bangor ( Me. ) Neira , to settle a very peculiar
wager , the one having bet the other a J5
silver certificate that he would make six
people out of ten yawn anywhere without
saying a word. A well flllei car was selected
for the purpose. The young man who had
proposed the wager had not taken his seat
many minutes when he opened his mouth
and gave a fearful yawn. He epeedily fol
lowed It by another and then awaited re
sults. A moment later a middle aged woman
promptly put her hand up to her mouth to
smother a cavernous yawn. Almost every
body in the car after that seemed In a
desperate hurry to follow the woman's lead.
Out of. the nineteen people in the car there
were fourteen who were seized by the afflic
tion.
