DAY DEVOID OF INTEREST
Remarkably Qniet Election Goes Off Without
Excitement.
WORKERS KEEP UP A STEADY HUSTLE'
Voter * Dlnnlny the Siiine Indifference
thnt Jinn .Marked the Cn
and TnUe Their Time to
Vlnlt the I'ollH.
The same lack of Interest and apathy
which had marked the campaign was mani
fested at the polls in this city yesterday
and the election passed off utterly devoid of
any excitement. But for the presence of the
party workers and the usual few hangers on
at the polling places there was but little to
Indicate that nn election was In progress. In
fact It was an unusually quiet election. By
noon In almost nil of the eleven precincts In
the city less than a third of the votes had'
been cast and the Indications were that a
small vote would bo recorded In the city ,
although toward thu middle of the afternoon
the voting became a llttlo livelier and toward
the hour for closing the polls thcro was the
usual rush of those who watt for the last
mtnuto before.- casting their ballots. The
vote cast In the city fell considerably below
the registration.
The weather was the usual kind that pre
vails on election days In Council Bluffs cold
and raw , with the wind from the northwest ,
but the snow or drizzling rain which the
clerk of the weather bureau has so frequently
provided for these occasions was not on the
program yesterday.
When the polls opened nt 7 o'clock there
was a goodly number of voters , mostly those
who worked In Omahaand men who could
not conveniently leave their work during the
day , watting to cast their ballots , but as
soon as this crowd was disposed of the voting
ing up to the nosn hour was monotonously
slow and the judges and clerks lay back in
their chairs and yawned or lit a fresh cigar ,
considerately supplied by some of the candi
dates.
The law requiring that no electioneering
bo carried on within 100 feet of the polling
places was not observed In any of the pre
cincts and workers In both of the parties
importuned Uio voter at the very door of thn
booths. As both sides openly vloldted the
law there was no kick coming nnd the spe
cial pollco saw no reason why they should
Interfere.
All the banks , county and city offices
were closed , as were the saloons. Judge
Aylesuorth held a short session in the
superior court long enough to grant natu
ralization papers to tbrco men whom the
democrats bad unearthed somewhere. The
registrars were called upon to grant a few
certificates , chiefly to traveling men whose
business had kept them out of the city
during the days appointed for registration
and two dozen or BO former foreigners who
had been naturalized during the last couple
of days by Judge Aylesworth.
The contest In the city was devoid of any
particular features of Interest , and there was
not the usual rounding , up of * voters andl. i
transporting them in carriages to the poll-
lug places , as has been ttio custom on former
elections. The members of the Colored Men's
McPherson club were out in force and were
probably about the most active workers at
the polls. They saw to it that all the col
ored vote of the city was cast.
In several ot the precincts it was said that
the democrats were trying to buy voters at
? 2 n head but whether they secured any at
this prlco could not bo learned , although j
It was no secret that they were using money. ]
The returns wore slow in coming In , espe
cially In the city , where In many of the
precincts the scratched ballots exceeded the
number of' either straight republican or
democratic ballots.
In the First ward , First precinct , there
were 112 straight republican ballots , 142
straight democratic and 117 scratched. In
the Second precinct 132 straight republican ,
102 straight democratic ballots and 121
scratched.
In the Second ward. Frst precinct , 127
straight republican ballots , * 68 iValght dnm-
ocratlc and 153 scratched ; In the Second pre
cinct 1G4 straight republican , 121 straight
democratic and 115 scratched.
In the Third ward , First precinct , there
were 116 straight republican , 75 straight
democratic and H9 scratched ballots ; Second
end precinct. 107 straight republican , 105
democratic and 58 scratched ballots.
In the Fourth ward , First precinct , there
were OS straight republican , EG straight dem
ocratic andJ54 scratched ballots ; In the Second
end precinct 107 straight republican , 103
straight democratic nnd 58 scratched bal
lots.
In the Fifth ward , First precinct , there
wore 171 straight republican , 119 democratic
nd 128 scratched ballots.
In the Sixth ward , First precinct , thcro
.ere 13S straight republican nnd 138 straight
democratic ballots and 77 scratched.
The city gives the entire county repub
lican ticket a good majority. In fact , It is
n perfect republican landslide.
Itcimlillcnn Majority' *
Incomplete returns at midnight showed
that Pottawattamle had given the state re
publican ticket a majority of about 400 ; Mc
Pherson. for congress , a majority of from
500 to COO , and that the entire county ticket

week makes it more certain that so far as
Algona Isconcerned what the Northwestern
rail u ay Is doing Is fully as Important aa
what the Iowa Central Is doing. Grading
has already begun between Wall Lake and
Donlson and all Ihe rlght-of-wny has been
bought and paid for In cash. Besides this
the surveyors have begun the line from Sao
City northeast to Algona. It Is now also
practically settled that the surveyors workIng -
Ing from Burl northwest are Northwestern
men , and a man who ought to know tells
the Upper Drs Mclnes that a line from Burt
to Tracy , Minn.will go In as soon as the
frost Is out next spring. It the reader will
take a railway map and sec what these
two lines mean Jio will see that the twelve
miles between Algona and Burt will bo a
common line between two great criss-cross
main Northwestern thoroughfares and on It
will pass all the big trains of this system
of railways. Algona will bo by far tbo
moro Important railway center In this part
of the state and one of the most Important
in Iowa.

WASHINGTON , Nov. 8. The work of
clearing the capltol of the wreckage ot
Sunday's fire Is being carried forward rapIdly -
Idly by a largo force of workmen. The
heavy utono arch under the file room of
the supreme court has been scttring steadily
for the last two days and it was decided
today to tear It out and rebuild this ( sec
tion of masonry. It Is a difficult opera
tion , however , as the room above la loaded
with the valuable old records of the supreme
premo court , which may be dumped In
Inextricable confusion If the sustaining arch
Is removed. Boat hooks will bo used to
morrow to draw the files from the room , as
It is considered dangerous to enter , and the
rebuilding of the arch will then proceed.
Assistant Architect Wood has made an ex
amination , confirming bin first view that
the main foundations of the capltol are
uninjured.

run as far south as Samba , But this purpose
