The city republican convention yesterday
attracted a largo crowd at the south room
of the county court house , notwithstanding
the fact that It was called In the busiest
part of a busy afternoon. There were fully
aa many democrats as republicans in the
crowd that filled all the available space
outside of the railing and they apparently
felt an deep Interest In the result of the
deliberations of 'the ' seventy-odd delegates.
The convention was extremely harmonious ,
although thii 'ticket ' was not'selected with
out a fight that was frequently spirited.
Leonard Everett wus chosen chairman
and conducted the work of the convention
In strict accordance with parliamentary
rules. He refused to accede to 'the demand
for a speech and thanked the convention
for the honor conferred , after declaring that
the gathering was a meeting of business
men charged with 'the duty -naming the
men who were to constitute 'the ' city admin
istration for the next yeur. The suggestion
that It should be a business convention was
accepted and a motion was made and car
ried that there should be no nominating
speeches. To avoid further delay It was
agreed that there was no necessity for the
appointment of the usual committees and
that the published lists of delegates should
constitute the convention.
E. n. Olendorf was made secretary. It
was observed that all of the delegates se
lected at the caucuses were not present and
each delegation was instructed to cast the
full vote of the precinct. L. M. Shubert en
deavored to have the plan of shutting off
speeches reconsidered , but failed to carry
his point.
The first candidate to be selected was for
mayor and an Informal ballot was taken
for nominations. E. E. Mayne and Thomas
Metcalf were appointed tellers. On the 'roll '
call of precincts J. P. Hess received 3 votes ;
Alexander Wood , 9 ; C. B. llandlett , 27 ; Dr.
II. B. Jennings , 23. A. T. Fllcklngcr had
requested tha delegates not to vote for him ,
but despite this some of them did so. W.
J. Jameson also received three votes. A
formal ballot was then taken , with a re
sult that Randlett received 37 3-5 and Jen
nings 26 2-5 votes. As only 34 were neces
sary to a choice this gave Randlett the
nomination. The announcement was loudly
cheered and the chair was Instructed to ap
point a committee to bring Mr. Randlett
before the convention. The committee , con
sisting of L. II. Shubert , F. H. Hill and
William > Arnd , left the room , and after an
interval of several minutes found the candi
date and escorted him Into the room ,
HANDLE-IT'S ACCEPTANCE.
Mr. Randlett was not a whit abashed
by the suddenness of the shower of honors
poured upon him and mounted the platform
beside the chairman and made a hearty
speech , after he was formally presented by
the chairman. He confessed to some feeling
of surprise as well as satisfaction and de
clared that he stood before the convention
as a candidate for the highest office within
the gift of the republican party of Council
Bluffs , untrammeled by pledge * and with no
promises of any kind that would 'Interfere '
with his determination and the desire of
the party and the people to give a clean ,
honorable and progressive administration.
Ho regarded the Domination aa being
equivalent to election and ho felt that when
ho was thanking the convention for the
nomination he was also thanking the re
publicans of the city , and some democrats ,
for his election. He asked for the mature
judgment , kind assistance and suggestions
of the members of the party and all other
good citizens to support his wish and de
termination to give an honest , business
like , clean and progressive administration.
Ho begged for the honest and hearty sup
port of the republicans and promised the
democrats that they rhould have a- wide
awake campaign. The speech was well re
ceived and heartily applauded.
Two ballots were necessary to select the
candidate for alderman-at-large. Chris
Straub , Loren Wilson and T. A. Brewick
were the candidates. On the formal ballot ,
which gave Straub 23 , Wlteon 24 , and
Brewick 18. Straub attempted to withdraw
bU name , but woa not permitted to do so
On the next ballot ho received 39 , and tbe
nomination , Wilson getting 24 and Brewick S
For city solicitor the informal ballot
brought out the names of A. 8. Hazelton , O
D. Wheeler. S. B. Snyder , A. W. Askwith
and H. J. Chambers. Hazelton received 39
on this ballot and Wheeler 22. The 'forma
ballot gave Hazelton the nomination with
nine votes to spare.
CONTEST FOR JUDGESH1P.
The -contest for the judgeshlp was the
most spirited of the convention , and six bal
lots were necessary to decide the matter.
The Informal ballot brought tbo names of
N. M. 'Pusey , George Carson , S. B. Snyder
N. A. Crawford and O. W. Scott before the
convention. Toward the laet the contcs
narrowed down to a fight between Pusey one
Scott. On the last ballot Pusey recelvec
44 votes and Scott 22.
For city treasurer the names of J. A. Gor
ham , Fltz Warren and W. S. Howard were
presented on the roll call of precincts. The
Informal ballot gave Gor ham 38 , Warrem 10
and Howard 18. The formal ballot gave
Gorham the nomination by a large majority
City Auditor F. L. Evans was the only
candidate who was honored with a nomina
tion by acclamation , and ho was given an
other term In bis present office with hearty
good will of all of the'delegates.
There -was rather a warm fight for the
position of city engineer. Thomas Toatevln
E. W. Blanchard , E. L. Cook and Thomas
K. Harrison were the candidates. On the
first formal ballot Tostevin received 30
Blanchard 27 , and Harrison 9 , Cook having
announced that ho was not a candidate
Tostevin received 36 on tbe third ballot am
the nomination , Blanchard getting 28 and
Harrison 2.
Four ballots were necessary to declare the
choice of an assessor. Tbe contest woa be
tween George Hanacn and Frank Everest , al
though Peter Smith , A. J. Stepbenson and
others were voted for. Everett received the
nomination on the fourth ballot.
For superintendent of markets the rea
candidates were Thomas Johnson and Jimmy
Davis , known as the "legless hero , " but tbo
convention voted for E. E. Mayne , George
S. Wright. Alderman Metcalf , J. B. Fulton
E. E. Hart and David Mottaz. Jcaneon was
nominated on tbe second ballot.
Martin Smith w s the unanimous choice
of the convention for park commissioner.
The convention closed with the preoenta
tlon and adoption of the union label resolu
tlon of the Bluffs City Typographical union
pledging all of the candidates to insist upon
the presence of the label upon all printing
work used in their office * or required In the
city campaign.
KANDLETTS PEDIGREE.
O. B. Randlett , tbe republican ! candidate
for mayor , Is a young man who baa achieve *
considerable distinction. He was appointed
M . . cadet to West Point from New Hamp
olrt aal aJouMt coapteUd aU coune In
that great military school , when he reached
the conclusion that a military life wts not
what he wanted. He resigned and returned
to bit home at Concord and was Immediately
appointed to the position of assistant secre
tary of state. At the close of the term of
office of his principal ho was nominated by
the republicans and elected to the position
held by his principal. He was still serving
In his Important office when he made a visit
to Council Bluffs a little more than six yea re
ago. Shortly after coming here he became
acquainted with Miss Langmade , shortly
after resigned , married and has since been
one of the most progretslve cud successful
business men In the city. If he Is elected
there Is no doubt of hU ability to make good
his promise In the convention that he would
give the city an energetic , wide-awake and
businesslike administration.
MJTHER'AAS ' AXU SUNDAY OPEXIXO.
Ponlllon of Two Divine * on the atten

Itcv. Luther M. Kuhns of Omaha writes
to the 'Lutheran ' Observer , the organ of the
"General Synod" Lutherans , as follows :
Thei TransmNslsslppI Exposition is to be
held In Omaha from June to November. The
llnlsterlal union of Omahn has1 been exert
ing Itself to secure the closing1 of the gates
of the exposition on Sunday. A committee
of the Ministerial union was appointed to
wait upon the directory of the exposition ,
If possible , to focure this , and another com
mittee wns appointed to secure the cooperation
tion of the presbyteries , synod nnd confer
ences , and the support of .the . various young
people's organizations in this effort. The
various denominations and young people's
societies have endorsed the effort of the
Ministerial union to secure Sunday closing.
At the last regular monthly meeting of
the Ministerial union the committee to wait
upon thp directorate cf the exposition re
ported that "tho executive committee of
the exposition directory declines to confer
nt itho present tlmo toith the committee , in
regard to this matter. " Upon recommenda
tion of the committee the Ministerial union
declared Itself opposed to Sunday opening
of the exposition.
The Jewish rabbi nnd the Unltnrlan min
ister of this city have expressed .themselves .
us favorable to Sunday opening. Besides
these , the following letter from the pastor
of one of the Missouri Lutheran churches
of the city -will bo of sad Interest to Gen
eral Synod Lutherans : > '
( Here follows the letter of Rev. J. S. Her ,
commenting on the sermon of Rev. Howard
McAyeal , published In The Dee of Febru
ary 7. )
Commenting on the above the Lutheran
Witness , organ of the "Missouri" Lutherans ,
has the fallowing to Bay :
Above communication has ifnrnished the
editor of the Lutheran Observer the ma
terial for an editorial on "Sabbath Dese
cration. " We submit , in nil kindness. (1) ( )
that Rev. Her Is far from teaching , or In
viting , the desecration of the Christian Sun
day ; for ho himself states reasons why the
closing of the exposition to be held at
Omaha next summer might be desirable.
(2) ( ) Rev. Her appeals to scripture and con
fession ; with scripture nnd confession he
should be mft. (3) ( ) Rev. Her places himself
on the sound basis of a well known scrip
tural nnd political principle , that of the
separation of church ami state. It should
bo shown that this principle does not ap
ply In the c.iso In quentlon. Expressions
of grief and1 pious exclamations will avail
nothing with a conscience bound by the
word. Rev. Her makes the Impression of a
conscientious Tierson. Wo have always
found that such persons can be easily
brought to see an error and acknowledge
It. Truly , after the Observer has gone so
far In the matter , Rev. Her Uiould seem
entitled to further consideration. Will the
Observer undertake the argument against
the position of Rev. Her ?

The R. J. Gunning Sign company of Chicago
cage filed Information In Justice Ferrler's
court yesterday , charging John Dee and
Hlchard Roe with the crime of larceny. The
Sunning company was engaged In painting
a number of large signs which had been
erected In the western part of the city near
the river. The work had not been com
pleted when the wlod storm occurred the
other day and tore down the boards. The
employes left the lumber lying on the
ground and also their paints and came up
town for assistance of , carpenters. The place
was not visited again until yesterday mornIng -
Ing , when It was discovered that some per
sons had during the night loaded all ot the
umber upon a wagon and hauled it away ,
taking along also the stock of paints and
brushes that had been carefully hidden be
neath the pile ot lumber. The wagon was
traced yesterday to a locality In Omaha and
the Gunning people were very anxious to
secure a search warrant. This was refused
by the Omaha authorities until an informa
tion was first filed on this aide charging
larceny.

SIOUX CIIYjBiNK FAILS

Home Savings Bank/ife Ocmpellcd to Oloso
EXPECTED TO PA OlT | IN A SHORT TIME

City School M6lfctrlcl , J.IO.OOO ,
Arc TleiC lip In the
Fall tiro.
SIOUX CITY , March 16. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The Homo Savings bank of Sioux
City closed Its doors this afternoon anil later
on a receiver waa appointed for the Institu
tion. This Is the first bank failure Sioux
City has had elnce the fall of 1896 , when
five banks went to the wall. The worst
feature of the suspension of this bank Is the
fact that It has the money of the school
district of Eloux City on deposit. The amount
Is (50,000 , all of the available cash of the
district.
The primary cause of the bank's failure Is
the fact that H. S. Hubbord , the cashier ,
was formerly the treasurer of the school
district , but a few days ago a new treas
urer was elected. Hubbard would have to
turn the money over to him In a few days
and was unable to do so , owing to the con
dition of the bank. The treasurer Is under
bonds to protect the district against loss.
The assets of the bank are given at $100,000 ,
with total liabilities of $63,000. The capital
stock woa $50,000. The receiver says from
what he has seen of the condition of the
Institution It will pay out all right In a
short time. It has been known for a long
tlmo that the bank Kas been In close- finan
cial straits , and the deposits have been drop
ping off every month. The bank did not
close until 3 o'clock and consequently there
was no run on any of the other banks of the
city and It Is not thought that there will he
any excitement. This leaves Sioux City
with but one savings bank , all of the others
having failed for various amounts.
VICTORY KoTtTilOAllU OF CONTROL.
Mill Will Vault the Scnntc Toilay With
out n Doubt ,
DBS MOINES , March 1C. ( Special Tele
gram. ) When the senate adjourned at C
o'clock this afternoon It had been In session
for seven hours , working all the tlmo on the
board of control bill. The day had been one
of repeated victories for the measure. The
ways and means committee had been In the
saddle. It carried every point , no amend
ment could be passed without the consent
of the committee. Scores of them were de
feated because the committee whips Indi
cated displeasure. The opponents of the bill
made a fight for a motion to reduce the sala
ries of members of , the board from $3,000 to
$2,500 , but were defeated. They made an
other fight on the amendment to except the
Soldiers' homo from the operations of the
law ; It likewise failed. Late In the after
noon Lewis of Powcshlek offered a substitute
for the whole bill. , It , was merely a scheme
to kill time and embarrass the committee.
The managers of .the bill made a fight and
on roll call the privilege of Introducing the
substitute and having it printed was dented ,
an almost unheard of thing. During the
afternoon the ways and means committee
applied the clotureand although the opposi
tion squirmed and shouted "gag , " the com
mittee carried everything. An effort was
made to reach , a vote on the bill and twice
the time of the session was extended , , but It
was Impossible. The Vote will be reached
tomorrow , when the measure will pass by
an overwhelming majority.
The most sensational Incident of the ses
sion was precipitated when at 3:55 : p. m. ,
Punk moved to extend , the tlmo of the ses
sion , till 5 o'clock. iHealy instantly moved the
previous question on this motion ; thb com
mittee did not propose to be filibustered past
the adjournment hour and to kill tlmo the
opponents of the bill demanded a roll call
on. the previous queetlcu. This brought the
hands of the clock to a minute of 4 , when the
senate would be adjourned by rule. As soon
aa the roll call on the previous question
was concluded Blanchard , with a glance at
the clock , demanded that the roll be veri
fied. It was plainly a move to kill , a few
more seconds of precious time. The verifi
cation was had and there was halt a minute
left. Lothrop rose and with great delibera
tion announced that he desired to change
his vote. It wan another effort to squander
the seconds. Blanchard followed with the
announcement that he wished to change his
vote. Carroll came to the- rescue with , the
point that changes must be made before the
verification. It was Instantly sustained and
there were ten seconds left. "The question
Is on the motion of the senator from Dick
inson , " announced Lieutenant Governor
Mllllman , gavel in hand and his eye en the
clock. "Those in. favor will say aye. "
There was a chorus of excited "ayes. "
"Those opposed , no. " A discordant burst of
"nays" came from the determined opposi
tion , a dozen of whom were on the floor
clamoring for recognition , when the chair
put the question , Ignoring them all. It was
dene In lees time thai * Is needed for the
telling. It was plain from his manner that
Lieutenant Governor Mllliman was getting
his choler aroused. "The motion Is carried , "
announced the chair. The hand of the clock
stood at the hour of 4.
There was a burst of applause for the chair
as the announcement was made. But a mo
ment later the chair announced : "The Jour.-
nal clerk Insists that the negative vote was
not taken until after the expiration of the
tlmo and declines to record It. I have in
structed him to record it and he still de
clines. The matter is in the hands of the
senate. " Journal Clerk Miles had taken

been watching the clock. As he saw it the
clock's hands jumped before he heard the
negative vote. The presiding officer saw It
differently. The senate must decide.
"I move , Mr. President , . " announced Sen
ator Berry , "that the senate Instruct the
journal clerk to record the vote , as an
nounced by the chair. "
Carroll promptly seconded the motion.
Again Blanchard came to his feet. He was
the bead and center of the filibustering
forces. "Mr. President , I see no reason why
such a question should bo taken up now and

SPRING CLEANING.
Spring IB the time wlien nature desig
nated wo should make preparations for
new life. Winter 'lias ' left the system
depressed , the blood impure nnd the
liver sluggish. Now is the time to reno
vate and rene\y the whole system by
taking Dr. Kny's. Renovator. It creates
an appetite , builds' , up the nervous sys

gives new life amL vigor to the whole

rection of the Journal tomorrow. "
The chair was by this tltno thoroughly
aroused. He did not propose to submit to
any more of euch treatment. "For the pres
ervation and protection of the authority ot
the senate as exercised through tbo chair ,
this matter must be decided and decided at
once , " replied the chair with spirit. This
declaration was received with another burnt
of applause. "The question Is on the motion
by the senator from Warren , to Instruct the
second assistant journal clerk to record the
vote as announced. Those In favor will cay
aye. " There was a shout of "ayes , " accom
panied by applause ; not a negative vote was
cast. Judge Dlonchard sat while but tin-
moved ! In his seat ; the second assistant
journal clerk was In subjection , the commit
tee was on top and the chair vindicated.
Hut It had been Iho most lurid exhibition
which the entire session has called forlh.
Several times during the afternoon there
were almost equally heated scenes. The op
ponents of the bill were bitter In the ex
treme. The bill will pass and go to the
house tomorrow , where It will piss before
the close of the week.

LOS ANGELES , Cal. , March 10. The
funeral ot Major General W , S. Itosecrnns
today was one ot tha most Imprc&slvo rr.i !
claboiate thla city has ever wltnrEsed.
Thousands assembled to honor the dead
warrior. Bu3tnc was Interrupted during
Iho ceremonies.
The remains were removed from the blcr
it the city hall , where they had been lying
In state , to the cathedral iU an early hour ,
anil In a quiet m&tincr. The special military
escort provided by General Last accompanied
the remains and resumed the watch In the
cathedral.
Promptly at 10 o'clock requiem high mass
was celebrated at the cathedral , IU. Rev.
Ill'ihop ' Montgomery ofllclatlng , assisted by
members ot the cktgy from all parts ot the
diocese.
The casket rented In front of the altar and
Upon it were many beautiful and striking
floral pieces. The decorations about the altar
and throughout the cathedral were extremely
beautiful and In gvcat profusion.
After the service , which lasted about
forty minutes , the military took charge of
the funeral.
The column formed with General Ixist nt
Us head. They were followed by a troop of
cavalry , the Seventh regiment band , the
signal corps , Colonel Uerry and staff , com
panies A , C , F and I , Seventh Infantry , N.
G. C. ; delegation of the Sons of Veterans ,
Confederates' association , Grand Army of the
Republic , Lo > al Legion and Union Veterans'
league following. Then came the hi'arsc and
directly behind It a rldcrleas horsu was led.
The family of the deceased rode In car
riages , following the hearse , and behind
these were many other vehicles containing
members of civic bodies and representatives
ot many organizations.
The column marched south from the ca
thedral on Main street to Washington ,
thence to the cemeU'ry. '
The services at the cemetery were brief.
There were vocal music and short addressee

tain J. C. Oliver , F. W. Stein nnd F. H.
I'olnclextcr. At the conclusion of the services
erne of the Infantry compnnles tired a salute
of three volleys over the tomb , taps were
sounded and the warrior was left to his
rest.
Death Pulls the Trigger.
A man doesn't have to
pull the trigger himself
in order to commit sui
cide. Hs doesn't even
need a gun or any kind
of weapon. All he need
do is work hard and at
the same time neglect
bis health. Death will
do the rest. Men nowadays are all in a
hurry. They bolt their food , and pet indi
gestion and torpid liver. The blood gets
impure. When the blood is impure , sooner
or later something will "hmash. " The
smash will be at the weakest and most
overworked point. In a marshy country
it will probably be malaria nnd chills. A
working man will probably have a bilious
attack. A clerk or bookkeeper will have
deadly consumption. A business , or pro
fessional man , nervous prostration or
exhaustion.
It isn't hard to prevent or cure these dis
eases if the right remedy is taken at the
right time. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery makes the appetite keen , diges
tion and assimilation perfect , the liver act
ive , the blood pure and the nerves steady
and strong. It drives out all disease germs.
It makes rich , red blood , firm flesh , solid
muscle and healthy nerve-fiber. It cures
malaria and bilious attacks. It cures nerv
ous prostration and exhaustion. It cures 98 *
per cent , of all cases of consumption , bron
chial , throat and kindred affections. Dr.
Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser
contains .the letters of thousands who have
been cured.
' I have been one of your many patients , by
taking Dr. Pierce's medftincs , " writes Mrs. Per-
llaCook , of 140 W. 3d St. , Covington , Ky. "Your
'Favorite Prescription * and "Golden Medical
Discovery' have saved my life when it was de-
ipatred of. "
