ClirlNtliiti Home Affair * . Manager Lemen of the Christian Home states that 'tho prospects are excellent that the donations expected to be received on March 1C , the. anniversary of the founding of the Home , * ' will 'bo ' eufllclently large to Insure the rebuilding ot the main cuttago ruined by fire" during the winter. The dona tions lhat'liavo poured In from all pa.-ts of the country , and from almost all countries , have been very largo since the Institution sustained Its serious calamity , but the total amounts have not been sufficient to wipe out the Indebtedness and provide a fund for re building. The anniversary offerings have al ways been large , and If they are correspond ingly great this year enough will be real ized to rebuild the cottage and place the homo In better shape than It has < ; ver been. While the financial affairs of the Homo have always been the source ot anxiety to Its friends , their concern has never been great enough to cause them to lose sight of the extraordinary management that has enabled the Institution to care for by feeding. clothIng - Ing and educating nearly 250 children upon donations averaging less than $200 a week. This Is less than one-fourth the cost of main taining Etato institutions. The care the children receive Is of a character that makes their condition compare favorably with that of children in the average private family. The IOFH of the use of the main building lias been a serious calamity to the Institution , "and Its speedy rebuilding Is a pressing neces sity.

Yesterday witnessed ono of the hardest fought school elections that has occurred within the recent history of Council Bluffs. The result was In accordance with the pre dictions In The IJce and what was generally expected when the polls opened yesterday morning the election of William Moore , democratic candidate , and Jacob Sims , re publican. It.was evident from the start that both democrats and republicans had marked Dr. M. D. Snyder for slaughter , nnd the most heroic efforts of the party managers could not save him. Ho was traded off by voters in both parties. Although there was nothing to call for the hot fight that was waged , It was carried on with an earnestness that called out the best work of the ward workers , and brought out a vote that was larger than that polled at the city election when there was really n great deal at stake. The fca turo of It was that It was almost non- partisan. Hundreds of democrats voted for the republican candidates and republicans voted for Moore and worked around the polls for his election with as much enthusiasm as If he was In the best standing In their party. There was some aurprlcc nt the great ma jorities given the democratic candidates In tfco First ward. The republicans have been Indulging In the hope that the First was swinging around toward the republican column and would soon climb Into the band wagon , but tbo result yesterday dashed these hopes and created the prospect of the ward becoming more hopelessly democratic than ever. The Fifth ward also turned p a surprise for the party managers by giving an over whelming republican majority. If it had not been for the heavy majorities given by this ward the result of the election would have been different , A feature ot tbo vote In the First ward was the remarkable majorities returned against both of the bond proposi tions. If correspondingly heavy majorities had not been given for the propositions , both would have been defeated. The defeat of the second proposition would have neces sitated a resort to mandamus proccedlngo to compel the Hoard of Education to Issue bonds to secure money to pay the interest on outstanding bonds , and thus would only have increased the expense to the taxpayers who were trying to five a little by defeating it , The two propositions were : 1. Slmll bonds of the Independent school district of Council muffs to the amount of live thousand dollars ( $3,000) ) , or as much thereof us may bo nccessaiy , bo Issued for the purpose of erecting nn addition to the Twentieth Avenue school hous < c ! ? 2. Slmll n tax amounting to nine thousand doiar : ( $9000) ) be levied to p.iy Interest on bonds ? The defeat of the first proposition would have made it necessary for the board to hlco school room facilities outside of the Twentieth avenue building and refuse edu cational privileges to a largo number of pupils in that portion of the city. Fortu nately both propositions carried by hand some majorities. Under the state's election law the women could have voted yesterday , but less than half a dozen did so. Considering the Intense interest the elec tion was carried on very quietly. The fol lowing table shows how the ballots were cast : MILITIA COMPANY INSPECTED. Coiiiiiitiiy li , lowiu Notional GunrilH , Put TUMHIKI ! ; | KM 1'aoc-M. Every member of Company L , Iowa National Guards , felt proud of tbo fact that ho was a member last night , and several hundred admiring friends of the young men felt an equal share of pride In their ap pearance and achievements. The company underwent the ordeal of the annual state Inspection. Major J. T. Davidson of Mua- catlnc , and Captain J. A. Olmsted , of the Ninth cavalry , who Is detailed by the federal government to act as Instructor of the Iowa guards with the rank of major , were the Inspectors. Captain Dyers ! of Olcnwoad as sisted In the Inspection. The guards throw open their armory to the public for the first time , and as many people as could pos sibly bo accommodated without encroaching upon the space reserved for the military evolutions , accepted the Invitation to be present. Major Davidson made the most critical Inspection , using the new manual of anna and tactics. The young men have bed but llttlo tlmo for study and drill , lint the In spection last night showed that they had become very proficient In all of the new movements , even those Introduced within the last few months. The manual of arms Is the same as now used In the regular army. Sonio blunders were made that caused the Inspecting officers to contract their browe slightly , but enough faultless work wns done to bring their drilling up to a high standard , The Inspection of arms and accoutrements was very critical and apparently thoroughly satisfactory , for the young men wcro warmly complimented at the close , upon the con dition of tbo state's property In their posses sion. sion.Tho The Inspection lasted until after 10 o'clock , and at the close the Inspectors examined the commissioned olllceru In the officers' quartern. The results of the Inspection will not bo known until today , when the .Inspec . tors make their reports. The Inspectors made their report on armory and equipments last night , and marked the company perfect.

The machine was Bold to the farmer at the customary price , $130 , and the farmer was apparently well tatlsflcd with his bargain until the ngcn's ot a rival ma chine cfltno along nnd offered to soil him a machine for $60. The farmer had usej the first machine to harvest about seventy acrca of his grain , but there was enough left standIng - Ing In the field to afford a trial for tbo other machine. Ho tried It and liked the way It worked , and was positively In love with tlio feature that saved one-half of the purchase price. Ho had made no payment 6n the first machine and It did not take him long to como to the conclusion that he never would make any. The Council Bluffs agents ot Warder , Ilushncll & Co. wcro notified to como out and haul their machine away , and were told by Fox that I'O ' had boUgnt another machine and would not take theirs dcsplto the fact that he had slgiic.l a note for the purchase price.

Investigat ing committee that Is looking Into/ / the state census scandal and other matters has 'been Issuing subpoenas for witnesses. These re quire to bo signed by the chief clerk of the houso. Today iho committee went to Clerk James D. Howcn with a bundle of subpoenas In blank to bo signed. He refused to sign them till the names of the witnesses wcro In serted. The committee declined to make the Insertions and , after vainly trying to get the necessary signature , told Itowen point btank that they would not lot him know the names of the witnesses desired , bccauso the experi ence of the committee had convinced It some body was giving out Information that was en abling the parties under Investigation to spirit witnesses out of the state. They de clared that they knew beyond pcradvcnturo that several witnesses had been sent away and that It would have been Impossible for the defense to know who they were unless they had the Information from the clerk.

SOUTH DAKOTA LIQUOR LAW Ealoon Won Declare that it Will Drive Thorn from the Etato. CONSIDER ITS PROVISIONS VERY DRASTIC I.Ice-linen Arc Mmlr Hnnl to Olitnln mid Ilxti-oiiu-ly nilllctilt In lli'- Wlicn Once They llnc Itccii Acquired. SIOUX PALLS , S. D. , March 8. ( Spcchl. ) The new license * law passed by the legisla ture is causing great dismay to the people Interested In the saloon business. In fact , many of them declare they will not try to operate saloons under It , but will go to some more congenial clime. They say the law Is the most * drastic one ever passsd by a state legislature nnd that nobody can succ es- fully operate a saloon under it. No man who slmll , after the passage of the act , have been convicted of keeping a disorderly hSlise can eccuro a license. The saloon men of Sioux Tolls are all now re fusing to pay the February fine. If their cases como to trial and a conviction resullr , which Is probable , nr * . one of tl'wn will bo able to secure a license. The law requires the abolishment of screens or anything which will obstruct tht plain view from the street and absolutory prohibits games of any sort , Including blll'ards ' nnd cirda , whether played for gain or not. No chain or tables are allowed In the saloon , nor In any rooms adjacent , which mn > be coni.cctod dlrcctiy or Indirectly with iho rnloon. llsh a prlma facie casu against the holder of a license under charge of violating any of these provisions It Plmll bo necessary only to show that the plain view to the street has been obstructed. It Is this provision which most displeases the ealoon men , who are saying all sorts of things about perse cution and blue law and so on and so forth. Twenty-five legal voters can call up the question of iMiihifj licensed at any municipal election , and the saloon men eay they cart never , under such a provision , get the mat ter settled , ns It Is sure to be on Issue In every campaign. Under the law saloona must clcse at 11 o'clock at night and cannot reopen until G o'clock In the morning. On Sundays and election days , of course , they are to be closed. No security for ccsts Is necessary when n complaint Is lodged against the keeper of a saloon , and all parties whether employers or employes , ore equally liable for violations of the act. The pun ishments arc heavy , and Include both fine and Imprlpomnent , with a sacrifice of the license. The usual features prohibiting sale to minors and drunkards are Included. The ptato gets $150 on cnch license and the county | 150. The municipality gets the le- malnder , the license being graded up to a maximum of { 1,000. Saloon men do not hes itate to say that they prefer the prohibitory law and are sorry It has been repealed. The law fixes the beer wholesaler's license at $ COO and the whisky wholesaler's license at $1,000 , and It is provided that this license thall bo paid "In as many different places as ho carries on business. " This was put Into the law at the request of South Dakota brewers , who thus hope to run the St. Louis and Milwaukee brewers out of the state. These outsldo brewers have In the past main tained many wholesale depots over the stale and this heavy tax is calculated to throw most of the business to fct.ito manufacturers. PIERRE , S. D. , 'March 8. ( Special Tele gram. ) The prohibitionists have taken a new tack In their efforts to prove the recent re peal of the prohibitory law to have been un constitutional. They have begun suit before Judge Gaffy on the collection of a liquor bill , setting up the plea that ouch a bill Is un- collectlblo because It Is a traffic In viola tion of the statutes. Their answer was de murred to and the case will shortly bo sub- , mlttcd on briefs. As the test case Is one' ' which has come up t'lnce the people voted to repeal the law It will cover the case of the repeal. ' , Foreman Stcclc a I'oor Shot. LEAD , S. D. , March 8.

Nothing Is being done , however , by that college to put Its claim forth , In hopes that Bnnic of the other colleges will take up Iho matter for It.
