The vote was light. hut the contest was nt without Interest. Two mernhors of the Jacksonian club sought to vote here , hut their votes wore thrown out on the ground that a member of that club had no right In a populist primary. . There was a vigorous protest against this ; action , but the men did not vote. The corn- . bination ticket carrIed the day. . In the Ninth there was considerable of a scramble. This Is Yeiser's ward. and the ' close alliance which has existed between him and Dr. Peabody was severely wrenched. There were three tickets In the ' field. Peabody ( lid not show the courlay I to Ycisor In the latter's ward that Ycisor showed to Peabody in the doctors ward , A number of names of delegates appeared on two of the tickets and the result Is n had mix-up. Patrolman Donovan was con- sllcUnusly active in this ward in behalf of Peabody , and ran In many votes , ono of them being cast. after the polls wore closed. The board was made up of Peabody men and E. A. Roebrig , one of the Ysisor delegates - gates , was not allowed to vote. W. C. FairbroUier , another Yolser supporter , was also refused the privilege of a vote. Parker Conclit , Oranvihle Eubanks , Elmer E.

Byrne , was the binding of thorn over to the district court in the sum of $1,100 for the three , The case against Phillips and hansen was continued until September o , with the consent of the prosecution. Deputy County Attorney \\'intor told a lIce reporter he would not folio proseqtii these two valuable witnesses for the state. No ( lefeliso to sicak of was attempted by the attorney for Klrschbaum , Dwyer and Byrne , except that. Kirschbaum voluntarily lands a statement to explain away his presence - once at the "pin game" when the other two men were arrested. lie had chanced to be there , ho said , under an appointment with it man he called 'Mr. Williams , " vho had been talking about employing him as an auctioneer. lie did not deny that In the past he had been connected with cigar prop- ositioiis in ( lie shape of chance schemes. In cxplaining to the court yesterday morn- log that after a consultation with his clients ( lie other two ( till not wish to make any defense , Attorney Kelkenney admitted again ( lint the case had taken a rather peculiar turn. turn.H H , D. Allen , from whom the place at i14 North Sixteenth where the game was car- ned on had been rented , did not prove quite as strong a witness for the state as the prosecution had expected. Not one of the three men , lie said , had ever paid him any rcnt-Dwyer and Byrne bad talked with him over rentIng the place , but the rent itself was iaid a , day or so hater by Fred Cummings of Nashville , an exposition con- cessionalre. Some of the rent was still due. Kirsclibautn at first had seemed to him to be in charge of the game and Dwyer sub- scqiiently. Some times the "roll" was handed to him for safe keeping. l'hilhips , though , was the only one ho ever saw operating the game-none 'of tile ethers. The way the place came to be leased to the parties interested-whoever they were , Alien could not say deflnltcly-was that Dwycr and Byrne told him they were going to have a 'nigger-head" und wild man show there , duly licensed as he supposed , but nIl the talk he had with Cummings when the rent was patti was Cummings say- lag merely : "This is $50 , I suppose ? " No wild man show ever appeared. Phillips , the operator of the "pin" game , s.as again put on the stand. lie bad knowmi defendants a little over a year. Was cia- ployed by thorn to run the game , but for no stipulated salary-Just whatever they elected to give him , had asked Dwyer for a position amiti this was the result. Dwycr once paid him his compensation , and once Klrschbaurn hail turned over to him the 'batik roll. " On cross-examination , be said lie had been in the "show business" for some ( line , and had operated the "pin" game to a great extent. Had never talked with Byrne before ho went to work for them , but had with Kirschbauni. lie repeated - peated that be had not entered into any arrangement with Deputy County Attorney Winter or anybody also connected with the prosecution as to testifying against the three men in consideration of immunity In his own case. He also denied kmiowing that his testimony was self-crimninating. Mr. Kelkenney endeavored to make Phillips say ho was the only one who knew how to play the pins "according to Iloylo , " and that , as a matter of fact , the ether three men did not know how to manipulate them to advantage - vantage , but PhillIps was not competent for this. Dwyer and Kirzchbaum , he said , had both turned the "bank rohl to him. Judge Baxter , in binding over the prison- em's , explained that. he did not know what a jury might think of the defense of Kirsch- baum , hut it was not the examining magis- trato's province to determine the merits of tha case-simply to decide upon the ques- ( Ion of probable cause of guilt. Against Kirschbaum's testimony was placed that of a positive witness , and as to the others , they had offered no defense. Under the circumstances - stances ho could not do other than to bind over all three. They might give a separate bond of $500 apiece or a joint bond of $1,500.

" Mr. Crocker called upon Internal Revenue Collector Houtz yesterday to get a clearer understanding of the telegram sent by the commissioner of internal revenue with ret- erenco to the tax on notarinl acknowiedg- monte. Mr. lloutz explained to him that the business of the "government omcials" exempted in tIme telegram meant federal government oflicials in his opinion , not state , county and municipal , "Anyway , " said Mr. Crocker , "I am going to taoist upon having a stamp on nil acknowledg- meats until I learn to the contrary. " lie produced the state law on this point. It is section 3130 of the Compiled Statutes of 1897 ( section 37 of the fee law ) in support of ( lila position. This rends : All ofllcers whose fees are lierelnbetOre linmited amid whose expenses are allowed may charge nnd demand as hereinbefore allowed the price of all UnitC(1 States revenue - onuo stamps required to be used in the discharge of their officIal duties , and time same shall be taxed with costs as in all other cases of fees. In the Ci.mt Clerk's flomnin. County Clerk flaverly litis received an opinion also from Assistant County Attor- fey Day on the question of reventmo stamps on chattel mortgages , leases , bills of sale , records anti county warrants. County wnrrants or assignments of warrants - rants are not taxed at all , according to Mr. Day , nor are staumps required for bills of sale except those issued by brokers or given for products sold at exchanges , boards of trade aud the like. Mortgages , whether on realty or movable effects , are taxed 25 cents for $1,000 to $1,500 , and 25 cents for each $500 , or fractional part thereof , over. The tax on assignments of mortgages Is the same , but there is no tax on releases. Mr. Day remarks that the law Is somewhat ambiguous as to chattel mortgages and that the only provision in it is that wherein all mortgages are covered in an omnibus inannel' . On leases for rental not exceeding one year tIme tax is 25 cents ; from one to three years , 50 cents , and over three years , $1. Leases of furniture are not taxed unless they come under the chattel mortgage head. With regard to Iqstrumeats recorded cer- tilled copies , themselves , of them are not taxed but the certificates-the certifying which the clerk makes-are , and require a 10-cent stamp. Agaimm , all certificates of the clerk as to notaries public are taxed 10 cents each. The following telegram was received by Collector Houtz of the internal revenue office : "Notnrial acknowledgments to properly - erly stamped instruments or to returns and forms executed by a government official are not subject to taxation. " The telegram Is indefinite and was at first thought to mean that no notarial acknowledgments svero sub- jest to taxation , but decisions have since been rendered In the matter holding that time only notarial acknowledgments which arc exempted are those made by govern- meat omcials.

Smiggesteil tliztt it Be Perinatiently Loonted Iii a l'nrk , The Minnesota buiiding , which was dedicated - cated on Wednesday , is so much of an at- chitecturnl success and so absolutely unique and characteristic , and withal so substantial , that. it is one of the buildings which is likely to remain In some form , somewhere , as a perpetual reminder of the exposition. Already Cass Gilbert , the architect of ( lie Agricultural building and of the Mlnmiesota st.ate capitol anti himself one of the most prominent architects in the country , has signified his desire to purchase the buiiding and re-erect it for the uses of the Town and Country climb of St. Paul and Minneapolis , ot which ho is a member. No higher compli- meat could have been paid the building than this expression of appreciation at the hands of Mr. Gilbert. A Chicago man has also written to ascer- tam whether the building can be taken down anti re-erected on the shores of Lake Miclii- gaa at one of Chicago's suburbs and the Minnesota commissioners have had inquiries for the building from citizens of our own state amid other state which indicate that the building baa covetous admirers in many quarters. Referring to this , one of the Miii- nesota building commissioners says : "The Minnesota building should remain in Omaha. It is unfortunate that it was not located on the portion of the site which is to be devoted to park purposes after the exposition Is over ; or rather it is unfor- tuuate that time bluff tract , where the Mmmc- seta , as well as the other state buildings , are located , is not among the park possessions of Omaha. Tim capabilities of that tract for park purposes have been abummdantly demonstrated by the exposition management. "It has been suggested that the Mmmc- seta building b& taken down and re-erected In some one of your parks in other portions of the city , If no plan is found feasible to let it remain where it Is now located , or that it be purchased by some club of your citizemia as a perpetual reminder of the Transmnisslsslppl Exposition. Some of these things should be done. In any event the Minnesota building should remaIn in Omaha. Timis would be the disposition most acceptable - able to the people of Minnesota.

Marshall brothers of Arlington ore con- stanthy adding to their exhibit nimmi are showimmg some as fine dew berries , apricots and blackberries as comm be found in any country. C. L.'iliton , in charge of tint fruit cx- imibit from Los Ammgelos coumity , is about as proud a man us there is in the Ilortlculturai building. lie has becim proud of his exhibit all of tIme time , but now lie is unusually so , on account of the arrival of several now varieties of fruit. lIe has received a con- signmnent of grape fruit. The specimens are as large as small mnuskmeloms , amid imi shape amid color resemble a ripe nutmeg melomm. Time fruit belongs to tIme citrous family mid is eaten maw. To ProperlY eat this fruit , vhicli is a cross between a lemuomm and miii orange , you cut it open , dig out a smmmali core amid fill tim place with sugar , after which the correct timing is to dig the lUlP omit with a 51)00mm.

California has commenced to show its plums , fine specimens of the blood , the But- bammlc mmmd tIme ogon having recently been placed upon the tables. Time blood plunia ( Ire the rarest in this country. They' are unusually large , about the size of mueditmmmi sized apples. The striking feature of the fruit , however , is the coior of the macnt , which is a bright red. The first big consignment of wino from soutimern California line reached the liorti- cultural building amid has been duly iii- stalled. It canto from General C. F. A. Lost , vho ha.c one of the largest w'imme cellars along the Pacific coast and by those who are expert tasters it is pronoumnced about as good as any that has ever come over time range. It is of the port variety. . Missouri , the land of the big red apple , is making itself heard througI uper1n- ( cadent Nelson , who is in charge of the ox- hibit. He has Just received his first consign- macnt of big red apples and consequently Is feeling proud as he points to theni anti states that they can bo raised all the way from the Mississippi river to the top of ( ho Ozark moumitaimis. In addition to red apples , Mr. Nelson is showing mien' peaches , tomatoes - toes , beans , prunes , crabs anti the famous Gugim blackberries that. grow two crops per year , the second crop being larger nnd better - ter than time first. 13y the way , the Missouri prunes are ( lie first that have found their way to the ox- lositioii grounds , but there will be mnoro of them later In the season. They arc getting to ho a great crop in Missouri anti are pronounced - nounced better than those grown on time l'aciflc coast , else the statements of Super- untendent Nelson go for nothing , Iowa is a little behind with its new apples , but they are coming and before the end of another week time cold storage specimens will he consigned to the sewer and fresh fruit viii be upon the plates. Iowa is cx- hibiting an endless quantity of small fruit and the exhibit is attracting much attention. Its vegetables are about as flue as nmiy in the building , not even barring those from Douglas county , which are secured and re- mewed almost tinily.
