REPUBLICANS ARE AROUSED
Result of Monday's Election Points Oat to
Them Danger ,
SUCCESS OF THE DEMOCRATS IS A SURPRISE
Members of the Pnrtr Realise- the
MeccmiltX of Hard Work nnd , sv
SlrouK Ticket to Avoid
\Vor e Defeat.
The result of the school election on Monday
was the subject of a great deal of earnest
consideration In political circles yesterday.
The democrats naturally felt very Jubilant
and looked upon the election of all 'but ' one
of their candidates as an augur of the same
degree cf success In the coming city elec
tion. The republicans felt no disposition
to concede this , but realized that the situa
tion was of sufficient gravity to call for
careful thought and the same kind of ac-
.lon In the convention this afternoon. There
was a general feeling all over town that
the democratic victory was the Indication
of n revolt against the domination of the
republican party by a few men who have
> een consumed with an ambition to hold all
of the offices themselves or dictate who
should hold them. The fact cannot be dis
guised that this feeling was prevalent around
all of the election booths on Monday and
: hat the warning conveyed will be heeded.
Tbe republican party Is stronger In Council
Bluffs today than It was a year ago and there
la no reason why a winning ticket should
not to named thla afternoon. But to ac
complish It there will have to be some radi
cal changes made In the slate that was pre
pared and exploited ce long ago as last
January. There were many and earnest
conferences held yesterday between party
leaders and delegates to the convention and
the conclusion was reached In every In
stance that the ticket to be put forward must
bo a n.cw as well as a strong one. Many
names were suggested for the various
places and before night there was almost
a definite agreement reached concerning
nearly all of the candidates to be placed
before the convention with the support of a
majority of the delegates.
An entirely new man was brought out
as the candidate for mayor , Hon. A. T. Fllck-
inger. No conference was held with him
by any of the men who were seeking a solu
tion ot the present difficulty , but when his
name was mentioned It met with Instant and
hearty approval. During the latter part of
the afternoon the matter was mentioned to
him and caused some surprise and a positive
refusal to be a candidate. His name had nol
been mentioned In connection with the of
fice and he had not had an opportunity
to think It over. Republicans feel that he
Is not only an available man but will make
a strong candidate. He Is tbe kind of a man
In every respect that the people of the city
dcslro for mayor this year.
The remainder of the ticket received the
same thoughtful consideration with the sime
result that new men were advanced for
r.early all of the offices. For Judge of the
superior court there was some dlv.'slcn o ;
opinion among the leaders and th * > dele
gates , many of them favoring C. O. Wheeler
a clean and strong candidate , and othen be
ing equally positive that Senator N. M
Pusey was the strongest man. Mr. Pusey Is
undoubtedly remarkably well qualified to fll
the office and would' bring to the supper
of the ticket every mexber ot the gold demo
cratic organization In'the city.
For city solicitor there was a unanimous
feeling In favor of H. J. Chambers , who
had a large following at all of the primaries
His whole political record was carefully
considered yesterday and the further Inqulr ]
was pushed the more apparent became the
certainty that he was the strongest candidate
that could be presented to the convention
and to the people.
The candidates for city treasurer were
matters of the meat serious consideration
but , no unanimous decision was reached. J
A. Gcrham has been a candidate from the
beginning and personally Is very strong.
The remainder ot the ticket Is not cert
sldered to be of such Importance , vlewet
politically. F. L. Evans for auditor ant
Thomas Tostevln for city engineer are re
garded as being not only worthy of another
term but are strong politically and there
can bo no reason for opposition , either in
the convention or at the polls.
There la no attempt to disguise the fac
the Interest in tbe work to be done by
the convention is greater than at any tlmi
In the recent history of the republican part ;
in Council Bluffs.

YOUNG THIEF QUICKLY CAUGHT
Dor Who Stole * n. Vnllne- Overhauled
and Sentenced.
Sam Soudruakl , a 17-year-old boy whM9
home Is supposed to be in Omaha , was sen
to the county Jail yesterday by Justice Fer
Her to serve a ten-day sentence for stealing
a grip from a passenger at -Milwaukee
city depot. The boy Is also believed to have
stolen a high-grade bicycle , which Is now
In possessionat the police.
The boy rode hla wheel on the depot plat
form a short time before the departure o
one of the morning trains , and after looking
around a-llttle picked up a valise from the
waiting room and started away with it. The
valise belonged to W. < C. Matthews of Neola
and he happened to bo on the platform when
the young thief started down the railway
tracks. 'Matthews ' satisfied himself that the
valise was his by a hurried visit to the wait
trig room and started after the young man
Ho soon overhauled him. ( He held him untl
a police officer was sent for , who took him
to the city Jail. Matthews wanted to hav
the case settled during the day In time to
permit his departure on the evening train
and the boy was arraigned before the Jus
tlce. The value of the valise was fixed at $6
and a sentence ot ten days was the punish
ment prescribed.
The bicycle was not examined until after
the other case had been disposed of , when
It was Inspected. The name plate had been
removed and an Insurance tag bad been
scratched off and the enamel removed.
Soudruskl claimed he had owned the wheel
since 1895 and had Just ridden It from Chi
cago. The wheel offered a strong contradic
tion to this assertion , as It Is an 1S97 model ,
bright and clean , showing no mud or wear.
It Is a wheel of rather peculiar construction ,
with very largo sprocket wheels , twenty-
nine teeth In the front and ten In the rear ,
red frame and wooden handlebars. Both
name and number have been removed.

Six shots rang out at 6 o'clock this evenIng -
Ing and the startled occupants of an office
Qulldlng rushing Into the apartments ot Cap
tain William O. 'Lavake ' found the young
lawyer lying dead on the floor. No revolver
was found In the room and It was supposed
lie had been murdered by a stranger who
had been seen rushing out of the hall and

his heart and a fourth through bis brain.
Condemn a Pending ; Dill.
OSKALOOSA , la. , March 15. ( Special. )
The farmers of Mabaska county are unitedly
opposed to a bill pending In the Iowa legis
lature to create a department ot agriculture
for the state , to have charge of the State
fair , dairy Interests , horticulture , etc. An
address to the farmers of the state was
adopted at a meeting of the farmers here
la which they say : "Wo have read the bill
carefully and condemn It from first to last ,
and brand It a scheme to fasten the long
hungry teeth of the State fair on the money
box of Iowa. There Is nothing In the bill
for the common farmer but to pay his taxes
and support several more salaried offlceni In
Iowa. We have already petitioned our sena
tor and representative to vote and work
against this bill and hope all other Farmers'
Institutes will look upon this matter and do
likewise. There Is no time to lose , as the
legislature may soon adjourn and this bill
may be put through with a rush. The state
appropriation will be taken away from each
county and spent at Des Motnes , and all the
good we farmers will get out of it will be
what we can absorb from the one delegate
provided for In the bill from each county
to attend the big winter two days' long In
stitute they propose to hold at. Des Molnes.
We say kill euch a bill and do it now , and
we know of no other way than above
stated. "

be delivered to Mrs. 'Ballard. This Is the
duchess who It will be remembered was

MARSHALLTOWN , la. , March 15.
( Special. ) The correspondent of the Times-
Republican at Des Molnes writes : "It may
not be generally known , " said a prominent
business man , who is In a position to know
what he Is talking about , "but It Is never
theless a fact that there Is a large amount
ot liquor now being manufactured in Iowa.
The statement that eight or ten distilleries
are operating In this state would no doubt
surprise some people , but It nevertheless
true. They are located mostly In Pottawat-
tamte , Scott , Lee and Des Molnes counties.
Some of them are operated only a few days
In the year , and others do a large business.
The make nothing , however , but fruit
brandies. There is no pretense on the part
of any of these concerns that they are obey
ing the law ; they are simply protected in
this violation by the sentiment of the
localities In which they are operating. They
furnish a market for a great deal of fruit
and fruit refuse , which would otherwise go
to waste. "

DAVENPORT , la. , March 15. ( Special. )
At a meeting held here , participated in by
a number of earnest Christum workers who
are endeavoring to form a new national
union ef churches , a movement was started
for a national Christian conference , to be

William R. Benkert is the prime mover ID
the matter , and It has been suggested that
the first meeting be held either in Omaha or
St. Louis.
lorrn I'renn Comment.
Sioux City Journal : Wo don't remember
what the groundhog predicted , but there lane
no doubt that we have had It.
Des Molnes Leader : Before adjournment
the legislature should pass a bill providing
for interest on all public funds.
Des Molnes Register : Wo do not believe
tbat a single republican vote in the senate
will be cast in the negative on the final vote
on the board of control proposition.
Iowa City Republican : A bill has been
Introduced In the Iowa house of representa
tives prohibiting corporations from furnish
ing state officers "with free transportation.
It is possible that euch a law may be needed ?
Davenport Democrat : It Is figured out by
some overconfident republicans that every
member ot the Hawkeye delegation will be
returned to congress. They are unmls < ul
ot the fact that there's many a ellp between
now and November.
Des Molnes Leader : The Iowa legislature ,
If It is foolish enough , can prtnent Iowa
being adequately represented at the Trans-
mlsslsslppl Expoeltlco. Thla much the legis
lature can do ; but there Is something It
cannot do. It cannot prevent the exposi
tion being the largest and greatest ever held
In this country , except , of course , the World's
fair. It la not an Omaha show , but a tram-

Appropriations.
DBS M01NES , March IB. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The fitaato has reached section 24
ot the board ot control bill. Much ot the
measure must be reconsidered and several
amendments taken up which have been
passed over. Dut good progress has been
the order. The opposition has been defeated
at practically every point and has become
moderately docile.
Trew.'u today Introduced an amendment to
strike out the clause to legislate the present
superintendents Into ofllco for the next six
years. Ho urged that the board should not
have Its hands tied at Its Inception It any
Institutions were governed by Incompetent
officials. The friends of the bill asserted It
was the trustee system and not the per
sonnel of the management they had criticized.
The amendment went over till tomorrow.
Pusey endeavored to strike out the pro
vision that In cases where unidentified insane
patients are sent to state hospitals , where
their maintenance would be charged to the
state , their removal must be ordered by the
board. Friends of the bill contended It wn
Intended to prevent neighboring states from
unloading their pauper Insane on Iowa. The
amendment was defeated and the committee
had won another victory.
Senator Funk this afternoon offered an
amendment to section 1 , making the salaries
uniform at $3,000 , the president being pro
vided $3,500 under the bill. This will tend
further to harmonize the conflicting interests ,
and It Is now believed the bill will pasa the
senate by Thursday or Friday.

KILLS MAUIbfURING BILL.
Speaker Funk made af ruling today on the
manufacturing bill'the real purport ofUlch
did not seem to be realize ! when It was an
nounced. The measure was reached on the
calendar , when Potterl asked that it be
passed.till tomorrow without losing its place
on its calendar. Several other bills bad
-just been treated In the same way , it being
a tacit rule that this can bo done If there
Is no objection. The bill had been favorably
reported from thoflccnfmlttee on domestic
manufactures. Prefttlsff "made the point
of order that it ought to' be referred to the
committee on suppression of intemperance
and the chair sustained It. Potter appealed
from the decision and1 the chair was sus
tained , many members not understanding
the force of the ruling. In effect It means
that the bill goes now to an unfriendly
committee , which will doubtless hold It till
so near the close of the session that It will
have no chance ot passage. Speaker Funk
declares that It has been the common under
standing that such bills should go to the
committee on suppression of Intemperance
and tbat a like ruling was made la the last
assembly. In making the ruling he took
occasion to discuss the merits of the bill ,
remarking that it would , If passed , place a
brewery en every four corners in the otatc.
Ex-Breaker Byers was In the house today
and says ho made no such ruling at the
lost session. There is much feeling among
the friends of manufacture , but It Is gener
ally conceded that manfactwe la killed by
it for this session. Had It been understood
as It has before It is very doubtful it the
chair could have been sustained.
HUSTLING FOR PLACE.
Some good northwest Iowa man will bave
a chance at the vacant place on the rail
road commission , left by the sudden death
ot Commmlssloner C. L. Davidson today.
News of Mr. Davidson's death was received
late la the afternoon and -was very soon
known tbrougbout legislative and pollt-
I teal circles. It caused a shock to all who
{ heard It , for Mr. Davidson bad been regarded
I as a man of excellent health and In appear
ance was the picture of strength. This even *
Ing the question of the successor was freely
dlscueeed in tbe hotel lobbies. There have
been several candidates announced for the
next nomination for railroad commissioner ,
among them are Colonel D , J. Palmer of
Washington , senator from the Washington-
Henry district and chairman of the seuats
committee on railroads ; Jack Morrison ot
Keokuk , member of house In the last as
sembly ; A. F. Collman of Corning , Adams
county ; Welcome Morrow ot Tama county ,
who has once been a candidate In a state
convention for railroad ccinmlealcaer. Nonis
ot these are regarded as exactly available
for appointment to fill the present vacancy ,
for ncno come from the north or northwest
part of the state. It Is expected that the
Eleventh district will come forward with a
strong claim for the place and that by to
morrow the governor will begin to receive
letters endorsing applicants. Not a single
Eleventh district man has been discovered
thus far as a likely candidate. A number
of people who remembered tbe convention
which nominated Mr. Davidson the first time ,
when he defeated R. E. Sackett of Sioux
City , -were Inquiring about the latter ; but
when they learned bo la not now a resident
