CAMPAIGN OPENS UP EARLY Aspirants for County Offices Begin to Show ThemEolves. CANDIDATES COMING BEFORE THE PUBLIC I'rrarnt Incumbent * Willing in * rrvc A Kill 11 niiil MoM of Them Arc In the HIICC. Although it Is eight months before the election will bo held many of the candi dates who are out after the county offices I ' > to bo voted on next November are already In the field looking after their fences. Sev eral of them have commenced an active cam paign , this bolng particularly true of aspir- unta to nomination on the republican ticket. Except In one or two instances the demo cratic candidates have not yet publicly an nounced themselves , as this is generally con ceded to bo a republican jear and In consequence - | sequence there Is no great rush among the ranks of the tinterrlfied after the privilege of having their names placed upon their party's ticket. At the November election the voters of I'ottawuttamlo county will bo called upon to vole for n county treasurer , sheriff , county school superintendent and two members of the Hoard of Supervisors. In addition to these olllccs they will also bo culled upon to elect n state senator and two repre sentatives. The present indications nro that the campaign promises to ho n most lively ono nnd that with the exception of county treasurer the field of candidates will bo a large one. William Arnd , the present Incumbent of the county treasurer's office has held the position for two terms and so far no oppo sition to his serving n third tlmo has de veloped. It is generally conceded that ho will secure u rcnomlnatlon. With regard to the ofilco of sheriff H Is .1 very different matter and there Is already a largo number o active- candidates In the field , all of whom are out redhot after the nomination. John Morgan , the present sheriff , has had two terms nnd Is willing to servo the county for another two years nnd has declared himself as out for a renomlna- tlou. Two of his deputies arc also after the nomination nnd have both for some time past been building up their fences and getting in their work among their friends. The deputies anxious to succeed Sheriff Mor gan uro Captain L. B. Cousins nnd Joseph \Velghtmnn. Cousins is an old soldier nnd will , It Is snld , undoubtedly have the sup port of his old comrades. Welghtman has served four years as a deputy under Sheriff Morgan nnd has been for several yeara quite prominent In local politics. Edward Canning , who held the position of city marshal and chief of pollco under the late republican administration , has declared hlmsolf n candidate for sheriff this fall. Ho made n good record whllo serving RB chief of police and Is sure of a largo following among the railroad men of this city. Stove Connor , president of the recently oragnlzed Council Bluffs Republican club , Is also said to bo out after the nomination for shorllf. From the country districts It is reported that Edward Slado of Avoca has ai-plratlons that way and bus declared himself a can didate. For county superintendent of schools BO far only two candidates have openly de clared their candidacies , and they are B. F. Cook of Carson and Prof. O. J. McManus of Neola. The former hns had In times past considerable experience as an educator while the latter is at present superintendent of schools nt Neola nnd an educator of much prominence In the county. Prof. II. W. Sawyer , the present incumbent of the of fice , it Is understood , will be the nominee of the democratic party. As far as can bo learned no names have been mentioned In connection with the Board of Supervisors. The members whose terms expire are Perry Kerney and H. C. Brandes. The Iowa senatorial question , It is con ceded , will enter strongly this fall into the election of a senator from this district , as It undoubtedly will throughout tlio entlro state. Pottawattamle county comprises the Nineteenth benatorlal district. The sena torial fight , It is believed , will necessarily engender some hard feeling , as the present Indications are that the fight will be some what of n bitter one. Hon. N. M. Pusey , the present senator from this district , has dur ing his term of olfico been one of the most prominent legislators of the state , und his friends will urge his renomlnatiou. So fur It Is not nt all certain whether Mr. Pusoy will ho n candidate for re-election. Colonel C O. Saunders , ex-county attorney , Is In the field for the nomination , and Is said to bo by his friends a supporter of Mr. Cum- mlngs. Hon. L. P. Potter of Oakland , representa tive from this district , was nt ono tlmo said to bo in the race for state senator , but Is now reported to have withdrawn and -nlll not uvon bo a candidate for rcnomlnation. 0. M. Putnam of Grove township , the other representative from this district , has stated his willingness If his filends so dcslro it to bo a candidate again this fall. J. L. Blanchard of Avocn IB said to be anxious to succeed Mr. Pnsey as state senator , and has BO declared himself. What his prefer ences nro as between Mr. Cuuiinlngs and Senator Gear have not BO far been made public. Think !

Up to a late hour last night the Jury had failed to arrive nt a verdict. Dur ing the course of the trial the question ot thu Identity of the stolen fowl had arisen nnd In his closing argument to the Jury the attorney for the defendants laid special stress on this , claiming that It had not been proven by the prosecution that the birds found In their possession -\vcro the ones stolen from Loronz. Immediately ut the close of this case the defendants were again placed on trial , this tlmo on the charge of breaking Into n school house in the neighborhood of Lorenz's house on the night that his hen coop was raided.

The plans are now being prepared nnd the lew bridge will be so designed as to give a greater waterway than was possible with ho old trestle work. The present structure , situated ns It Is nt the curve of the creek und containing a number of wooden piers , ias Invariably in the case of n freshet In the creek prevented the free flow of the wnter and formed a setback. This , with lie iron bildges of the Northwestern in it1 ? yurds nt Eleventh sticct , has been the nnln cause of the creek backing up and overflowing Its banks for several jcars past. The now bridge proposed to bo put in by ho motor company will materially lessen the danger from this source , the more es- icclnlly since the bridge on Broadway has been raised.

The collutiial Inheritance tux cnso from Kcokulc , which Involves a recent decision ot Judge Hank to the effect that any prop erty of collateral ! lielrs which may be lo cated In another stnto nt the tlmo the owner dies Is not subject to the 5 per cent tnx under the collateral Inheritance law of Iowa. Is to bo appealed to the supreme court. Hie suit was brought by the county attorney of Leo county to collect the G per cent tax on a valuable herd of stock be longing to the WeavcT estate of Leo county. Because the herd was stationed Just over the stnto line In Missouri at the tlmo of Weaver's death the collateral heirs resisted tno tnx. Judge Bank holds that the prop erty Is not subject to the tax because It was not within tlio state. The treasurer's department , when asked about the matter today , stated that It Is likely an appeal will bo taken. Though the revenue from the tax In this cnoo is a small one , tlio principle Involved is ono the state treasurer believes should not bo loft -without the highest courts ruling upon It. So many plans have been resorted to In an effort to evade the tax that the officers who have its collection In charge believe in stubbornly contesting every point. It Is understood that At torney General Ilemloy bollo\e8 that the lower court decision in the case Is not cor- lect and favors an appeal. The question ot appeal will be determined in a few days.

He contended that ? 4EOO , the figure at which the road was assessed last year , was too high and that at the outside it should not reach more than $3,000 per mile. This argument ho toscd on the as sertion that the road is in n bad condition ; that it is now In the hands of a receiver and la telng operated by a committee of bondholders with the hope that in the next month matters will be adjusted and the road turned over to the management of the Pittsburg & Gulf line. Ho contended that he rolling stock of the load is poor ; that the roadbed is also in such a poor condition hat It lias been impossible to maintain a schedule of trains for some months past. The only other small load which has noti fied the council that it will appear Is the TCcokuk & Western , which will present its case next Wednesday. M13IITS TIMis : IIAVn IMIMIOVnn.

I have been sufTering from fe male weakness for four years , and have taken m my medicines , but Wine of Cardui and Black- Draught have done more for me than anything else. MRS. CAROLINE EVANS. It is A mistake to take any and every kind of medicine when you arc sick. There is danger in it. Most of the so- called cures for "female weakness" do nothing more than deaden the pain temporarily , and when the effect wears away the patient is weaker and sicker than before. It is never wise to take chances. You liavc only one life , and that is dear and precious. If you have any pain , ache , disorder or weakness in the feminine organs , nothing will help you like Wine of Cardui. It helps do away with morning sickness during the early stages of pregnancy , and modifies the pains of childbirth ! recovery is rapid and future health is as. surcd.
