FROWN UPON THE BRIBERY OF VOTERS KITort to Make the I'lircliaoc nnil Uc- llvery nf Vote * Unpopulnr If Nat Unprofitable In Council HI 11 Us. There In an excellent prospect for come trouble for that large and constantly grow ing class of citizens who have como to look upon election days as the opportune time for the transfer of various sums of money from the pockets of the candidates to the of the reluctant voter. There Is a plan afoot for tbo vigorous prosecution of every person who can be delected In the commission of the crime , or against whom sufficient evidence can be secnrcd to send to the penitentiary. The evil hag become a most scrloUii one , and It has como to be ad mitted on all sldts that the size of the cor ruption fund Is the proper gauge ot victory or defeat at the polls. Justice Burke Is cue ot the officers who has pledged himself to asel-U In the enforcement ot the law tbat makes a felony of any attempt to debauch voters , and expressed a wholesome dcslro yesterday of being able to assist In sending to the penitentiary any persons found guilty. "I will bo in. my ofllco all day en both election tlaja , " said he , "ready to entertain any , complaint of fraudulent voting or brib ery , and I will do all that I am permitted to do under tbo law and In my position to punish any man found guilty of tak'ng or offering a bribe for a vote. There will be no dismissals , and no ties of friendship or party fealty will Induce mo to waive a single right of the law to punish these criminals. I believe every other justice In the city will be as willing1 as I am to do bis duty. Under the law they have no right to refuse to er.ter- taln such a complaint , but there Is a vlilble difference between a perfunctory compliance with the law and a willing one. " The calling of a conference of the repub lican tail democratic central committees to agree upon some I'ne of procedure that will shut off the boodlcrs who swarm around the polls has been discussed. Itas suggested that such an agreement could bo made and easily enfored. The members of the old Law and Order league. &n organization which Is fitlll tn ac tive existence , are planning to have members In all of the voting precincts to watch for bribe-givers and takers. Ons of them said yesterday , "We feel that the time has como when It ccsts a candidate the amount of hla salary for the first year to secure the elec tion , besides the necessity for Inducing h's ' friends to put In all of their spare cash. I believe the sentiment Is sufficiently strong now to break up this practice , and I earnestly hope that there will be a number of these orrruptlorAits given a goo3 start for the icnltcntlary at the close of election day.

At the regular weekly meeting of the ex ecutive committee of the Council Bluffs Ex position association last night a blue print of the exposition grounds was submitted showing the location ot the site selected for the Pottawattamlo county wigwam , together with a receipt for the amount of the first Installment of the ground rental , $250 , which liad been paid by the commltteo having the matter in charge. The site is on Sherman avenue directly opposite the Iowa building , and close to the main entrance. It is one of the most desirable Bites on the ground and the big tepee will be a moat consplcu- ous object that will arrest the attention ol the visitor the moment the gates are opened A resolution was passed Instructing the wig wam commltteo to take the necessary steps at once for the purpose ot beginning work of construction. Tbo committee was author ized to confer with a number of the leading architects and builders for the purpose of securing working plans that will be some what of a modification of the original plans and will perhaps cheapen the ccst ot the structure. Ono plan will bo the use of piling Instead of tbo brick foundation , which will save a cost of 30,000 brick which were orig inally designed for the foundation. The pil ing will be much cheaper and make a much stronger footing for the bulldln ? , as the upright posts will bo bolted to the piling. Mayor Carson sounded n warning that the building committee must make no mistakes and toke no rlska In the work ; that the fact must not bo lost sight of that the building must bo constructed to resist severe wind storms and carry heavy weights. The modi- fled plans must bo submitted to the general commltteo at the next meeting , together with accurate estimates of the total cost. The commltteo of women having In charge the publication of { ho women'a edition of Iho Nonpareil reported that the total receipts ot the venture were $566.53 , the expenses $281.44. leaving a net tola of $285.51 , one- halt to be donated to the exposition com- mlttcu amounting to { 142.75. With the re port was a submitted check for the amount and a statement that there was still due and uncollected $49.50 , one-halt of which would bo turned over to the committee when collected. The committee from the woman's clubs who submitted the report consisted of Mesdames Metcalf , Atkins , Phelpa. Reed , Hayden , McBrldo and Terwllliger. A vote of thanks was tendered them for their do nation. Tto members of the committee retired to the parlors of the hotel and formulated an other plan for the purpose or assisting the association tn deposing of the remainder ot the exposition buttons , and after a short de liberation notified the association that they desired to meet a committee to convey the proposition to the association. Prof. Hlsey and Dr. Cleaver were appointed and re turned with an outline of the plcn , which was to take charge of the button salea In the future. They submitted the names of nearly 100 young girls and boys whom they dcslro to meet at the ordinary of the Grand hotel on Saturday afternoon end Interest In the wcrktof selling the buttons. Prizes are to bo offered for the work. Bach girl or boy who sells ten buttons shall receive three free admission tickets Into the exposition grounds , and proportionately more for larger tales. Larger prizes consisting of a bicycle , a gold watch , fine drees pattern , manicure set. etc. , are to be offered to the person a selling the hlghcnt number , In addition to the regular prizes in the way of admission tickets. The offer of the women was promptly accepted , and n committee consistIng - Ing of E. H. Walters , Dr. Cleaver and Prof. HUey waa appointed to confer with them and carry Into execution the plans they agree upon. The secretary was Instructed to notify the girls , and boys whoae names were pre- lented to be at the hotel on Saturday aft or. noon and have the matter explained to them. It WM decided ttuU UM work on , the wig- worn must bo well under way by Iho middle of April. The financial report showed that alt of the assessments ot tha members of the assocla- tlon had been paid , ranging from $10 to $25. The total amount of subscriptions outside ot this list and the ealo of buttons approxi mated a little over $2,000 , and the total amount of money In the hando of the as sociation with whttu to begin the construc tion work U between $2,500 and $3,000 , sii/VEitrrns' ASSAULT A MISTAKE. HlRNlnK of .Indue Mcfioc'n Nnme Will CoKt Many Vote * . The hissing of Judge McGeo's name when It was presented at the democratic city con vention was the subject ot a good deal ot comment around town yesterday. It was universally condemned , by the democrats as vigorously as by the republicans. Judge McGee has during his two terms as judge of the luperlor court conducted himself and his court In a manner that has compelled the respect of all classes , and the Insult that was "offered him was gratuitous and unjusti fiable. It came not so much as an expression of personal dislike as an evidence that he was not In accord with the rank and flic of his party on all questions , particularly In national finance. Ho fell Into disfavor when he joined the gold democratic organization In this city and opposed the election of Bryan and the purposes of the free sllverltcs , and the majority of the men who so vigor ously hissed whenever his name was called In the convention belonir to the class of rabid free sllvcrltes. "It was a most ungen- tlcmanly and Impolitic thing to do , " said a leading democrat last night , "and I am sure that It wilt cost the democratic party a largo number of votes In the city campaign. It Is singularly unfortunate , for the demo crats had put up a good ticket and had the beat show for success In recent years. I con- fldcntly believe that If It had not been fori those hisses the ticket would have been elected In almost Its entirety , but now I will bo satisfied If we can get even a few members of the scool board. " Grand Council Itoyal Arcnttnni. A special meeting of Fidelity council No. 56 , Royal Arcanum , will bo held this even- ng for the purpcse of organizing the com- nlttees and completing the work of prepar.i- lo > n for the entertainment ot the delegates f the grand council , which meets hero In tie week of April 12.

There was a slight revolt among the city irlsoners yesterday against the new order requiring them to work on the streets , and hree of them refused to comply. There was no means to compel acquiescence except o make their stay In the city jail a trifle ess pleasant , and they were directed to be confined to a diet of bread and water , until hey reconsidered the matter. One meal of a In cup of hydrant water and two slices of jread was sufficient to satisfy a couple of the recalcitrants that a life -with a little abor attache. ] to it and three voluptuous meals a day was preferable to a lifeof Idle- icss with a diet of water-soaked bread. An lour before dinner they notified the jail at tendants that a good dinner would bo suffi cient Inducement to join the crow of shovel- crs during the afternoon.

Sioux City Sun : It seems likely that the barbers will profit by the popular craze and get a state board of control. Why should they not have It ? The barber's customer should have protection as far as possible from the evil effects of tcnsorlal Ignorance and Incompetency. If the barbers are will ing to bear the expense of elevating their trade to a profession they ought to bo per mitted to do It. Iowa City Republican : Among the state offices to be filled this fall Is that of attorney general. This year closes the second term thU position has been held by Hon. Milton Remley of Iowa City. Mr. Reailey has put much hard work Into the discharge of hla duties and feels that he Is entitled to re- nomlnatlon at the bands ot the republican party this summer and to re-election by the people this fall. He has therefore become a candidate for a third term.

MAY TAKE A\VOTE TODAY Senate Likely toVota an Amendmsnt to Board of torftrol Bill , ATTEMPT TO STAMPEDE DZMDCRATS FAILS Court of Inquiry ! Into I'rline-Onrnt Cnie Snsjtnlnn ' 1'rllne , nnil Gncit lEefl. to the De fendant * . | DES MOINES , 'March ' 10. ( Special Tele gram. ) The situation of the board ot con trol bill this evening shows little change from that of yesterday. The Lewis amend ment occupied the entire forenoon , but the friends of the bill maintain their organ ization almost intact. The opposition , now fully aware of Us Inability to defeat the bill on its merits , la resorting to dilatory tactics. Its dcslro to prolong the debate is self-evident and became specially apparent today , when It resorted to parliamentary juggling to prevent an afternoon session. The fight today was characterized by efforts on the part of Senator Ilanck and Senator Young to stampede the democrats , who have been practically solid for the bill i as reported from the commltteo. It was held out that the provision for a confirma tion committee would enthrall the demo cratic party for years to come by making | the board a great political machine. It can I I be stated , however , that the democrats stand solid. It U believed that the amendment will come to a vote tomorrow and be de feated by a comfortable margin. Other amendments will follow , perhaps , but It In IntenJcd to limit debate on such. The court of military Inquiry Into the charges preferred against Major Hume and Captain Worthlngton by General Guest of Burlington , today made Its finding. The case grew out of the famous Prime-Guest na tional guard election , It being asserted by Guest that the election certificates had been raised by the defendants In favor of Prime. The decision of the court Is regarded an very humiliating , every charge being denied In toto. General Guest fully realizes his unenviable position and has apologized to the defendants. IJAST IXUIAX IMTTLB IK IOWA. Ueerlitlon of the Ilattlcllctwecn lorrn * and Sue nnd Vex llriiven. A. W. Harlan , a grand and good old man who resides near the little town of Croton , In Leo county , Iowa , Is an old pioneer who came to Iowa In 1834 , saje the Burlington Hawkeye. Mr. Harlan , in early days , be came acquainted and became somewhat con fidential with seme of the chiefs of the Fox and Sacs. Ho at one time visited the battlefield , In Van 'Buren ' county , where Blackhawk defeated the lowas In a hard- fought battle. Mr. Harlan visited this battle - tlo ground In company With Pashepaho , who waa one of Blackhdwk's aids. Mr. Harlan says of Pashcpaho 'that ho was a man of great judgment and courage , a man whoso worth and not Me ancestry won him a high place In the councils of his tribe. The cause of the war between the Fox and Sacs and lowans was causedby ( he Iowa Indians In sulting a few of the Sac and Fox Indian women , who were camped on the Mississippi river near Montrcoe , while their husbands were a\\uy from the camp at the above named place hunting. This tnault of the Sacf and Foxi women by the Iowa Indiana caused the Indiana to break their camp and hasten back to their village on Rock river in Illinois to gather together men ito avenge the Insult they had received. H Is said that Blackhawk had much difficulty In restraining his braves from golnj * ; on 'the ' war path at that time of the year. Ho prevailed In having his braves wait until next summer before marching into the country ol the lowas. With the coming of summer Blackhawk made duo preparation for an Invasion Into the territory of the enemy. All things being ready , the Invad ing warriors marched from their village to the Mississippi liver. After reaching the river they floated down the river at night and camped on < tbe Islands during the day to keep themselves seoreted from their en emies' scouts who were out on the front to watch for the coming ot the Sao and Fox , whom they were expecting to come out against them. Part of Blackhawk's forces divided at some point on the Mississippi and marched overland through Illinois and crossed the Mississippi river at or near Fort Edward , now Warsaw , 111. , and expected to march on the camp of the lowas and attack It on ono side , while Blackhawk's force waa to con tinue down the Mississippi river to Montrose - rose and march overland and arrive at the camp of the lowas at the same time an that of Pashepaho's force. The plan of at tack was for Pashepaho to open the battle on ono sldo ot the village ; then Blackhawk would attack the enemy on the opposite side. This plan miscarried by Pashe paho's arriving at the village about one- half day before Blackhawk'a force. Pashc- paho then commenced the attack , but we are told ho fought for awhile then retreated to join forces with Blackhawk. This prema ture attack of Pashepaho bcforo Blackhawk was In striking distance angered Black- hawk ; eo much so tbat ho and Pashepaho had quite a lively exchange of uncompli mentary words with each other. Here Black- hawk moved on the lowas and after a hard- fought battle he succeeded In completely breaking their power as a nation. After the battle was over , Blackh&wk , we are told , offered to receive any of the lowas who would accept of It , as members of his tribe , with all the rights and privileges of that tribe. Some of the Iowa/ Indians accepted the offer and some did pot. This offer of Blackhawk In offering to receive his late enemies as brothers into his trlbo Black- hawk considered the noblest act of his life so much so that ho wished to bo burled on the spot of ground where he bad so gener ously offered the olive branch of peace to his fallen foe. Mr. Harlan Is probably the only living white man who was shown over the battlefield by those who had partlcl pated In the flgbt. Mr. Harlan says of Blackhawk that ho was a true Indian. His first thought was always for his people ; that he accepted the Inevitable because ho was powerless to stand against the encroach ments of the white. Mr. Harlan , In common with all the early settlers , speaks well of Blackhawk as a man of his word. Ilenl CUNP of DES MOINES , March 10.
