-MASON - CITY , la. , Nov. 5. ( Special. )
The recent death of Jesse Bracken In this
city at the Ago of 100 years nnd flvo months
recalls the fact that there Is living In the
ulty at the present time a man who has
reached the advanced ago of 111 years. This
Is Henry Doonp , it colored man , who Is
making his homo with his daughter , Mrs ,
L. W. Tyler , on Water street. Mr. Boone

ho was liberated by General Curtis , by whom
ho was brought to the north. Mr. Boone
Is In remarkably good health and bodily
vigor nnd works around the house con
tinually. Ho retains his memory splendidly
and can remember distinctly the news of
the death of George Washington , as ho was

In tbo old slavery times the marriages
ot the slaves were arranged entirely to suit
the convenience of their masters und Mr ,
Boone hns had eight wlvca , nearly all of
whom were eold away from him to some
other estate. He Is the father of thirty-two
children by his various wives , four of whom

twelve years ago. Two of these children ,

Preparations for the election to bo held
Tuesday will bo completed toda > . Voting
booths have been located to the bast pos
sible ndvnntflRc and arc doubtless known to
every one. The polls will open at 8 o'clock
In the morning and will close at 6 o'clock
in the evening. These hours differ from the
city election In that at nil city elections the
polls open at 9 o'clock In the morning and
close at 7 o'clock In the evening. It Is
understood that all of the employes of the
great corporations here will be given an
opportunity ototlng eome Unit during the
day. The work will be so managed that
the men will each be allowed at least ono
hour off duty In order to enable them to
vote.
vote.H
H was reported on the stree-ls yesterday
that a policeman doing duty In the Fourth
ward gave It out cold that no ono would bo
allotted In the booths lo watch the count.
The officer has evidently been misinformed ,
as this question Is plainly decided on page
S3 of the Nebraska election laws. Section
19 on the page mentioned reads as follows :
"Dcforo any ballot shall bo deposited In
the ballot box the ballot box shall bo pub
licly opened and exhibited nnd the > judges
and clerks phall see that no ballot Is In
such box ; after the box shall lie locked nnd
the key delivered to one of the judges ,
It shall not bo again opened until the close
of the polls ; and thb ballot box shall not
bo removed from the view of the electors
present until the polls are closed nnd nil of
the votes shall have been counted and can
vassed ; nor shall two of the judges bo
absent from the room or building In which
the election Is held , at the same time ,
during such voting and canvassing. "
Those who have thoroughly canvassed the
local situation are not backward In predict
ing a good , big republican vote. One well-
known candidate who Is In close touch
with nil the different nationalities said
yesterday that It wes a mistake to think
that the Bohemians were going to vote the
fusion ticket. This conclusion had been
arrived at "by " conversation with a number
ot prominent Bohemians. One of these Bo
hemian leaders said that In his opinion the
majority of the Bohemians would vote the
republican ticket. H was admitted that
Bohemian politicians had been trifling with
the fusion leaders , but when It came tea
a srjuaro understanding the ( unionists had
not kept the pledges made to the Bohemians
nnd consequently the vote would bo the
same ns It has been In the past , principally
republican.
A tow changes In the total registration
will doubtless be made when the books are
returned to the city clerk and the footings
gene over again for verification. The
change , however , will be slight , probably
not more than a dozen all told , and this
will mnko no real difference In the total
as reported In Sunday's Bee , which was
3,831.
Hiiii1illcnn Ilnlly nt Fmiiok'H Hall.
Republicans to the number of 100 or more
met at Franck's hall. Twentieth and S
streets , Sunday afternoon , and listened to
speeches made by well-known republicans.
Judge Dvorak presided and first Introduced
'Anton ' Donate , who spoke In Bohemian. Mr.
Donate called the attention of the laboring
people particularly to the change In the
conditions and times since William
McKlnloy was elected " president and
confidence had been restored. The work-
Ingmcn were urged to continue this prosper
ous condition of affairs by continuing the
republican party In power. Mr. Donate
urged everyone to vote on Tuesday for a
continuance of prosperity.
Chairman Dvorak next Introduced Edward
Rosewater , who spoke for some little time
In Bohemian and then delivered an address
In English. The fallacies of Bryan and his
theories were discussed at some length
and these present were shown that pros
perity only came after confidence had been
restored by electing republicans to ofllce.
Candidate Holcomb was scored and a
number of Incidents related which went to
show that Holcomb Is not a fit person to
occupy a high judicial position. In speak
ing of Imperialism and militarism Mi. Hose-
water said that If Imperialism was to come
from annexation it would bo duo to the
course of the democratic senators and Mr.
Bryan , the former having voted for and
the latter worked for the passage of the
treaty of peace. In protecting life and
property In the Philippines President Mc-
Klnley Is only doing his duty the same as
ho protects the lives and property of those
In Alaska or New York City.
The discourses of both Mr. Donate and
Mr. Rosewater were well received and tell
ing remarks were frequently applauded.

course of which he convincingly pointed
out to his people the proper course for thorn
to pursue In the election tomorrow. Ho
showed them how Holcomb had slapped
them In the face and deserved no support
from them , and expressed confidence that
the colored rtan would , ns usual , vote for
the party of progress and liberty. No col
ored man , ho said , could afford to be un
grateful to the republican party.

Of TWO COtllltlCH. ?
SIOUX CITY , In. , Nov. 6. ( Special. ) Tbo
strife between the Gear and Cummins fac
tions In the Monona-Ida legislative district ,
In the attempt ot tiie candidates for the
United States senate to secure this dis
trict favorable to their candidacy , has re
sulted In n condition of things highly un
satisfactory to the people ot Mouoim county ,
Irrespective of political belief , by reason of
the fact that both republican and democratic
candidates have been chosen from Ida
county.
Under the last apportionment of the legis
lative districts by the legislature , Ida county
\\as attached to Mononn , as Is alleged by
the pojnillBtle nnd democratic parties In
Mononn county , for the purpose of securing
a republican leg'lslntor from this district.
Monona county for many years has been the
hotbed of populism nnd the populists have
controlled the county by quite largo ma
jorities , though In late years It has been
gradually decreased. Ida county , on the
other hand , has frequently given a repub
lican majority and It Is claimed that It was
attached to Monona county for the purpose
of overcomlcg the popullstle majority , If pos
sible , rather than In compliance with con
stitutional requirements , popularly supposed
to eovern In such matters. Election after
election has como nnd gone and populist can
didates Imvo been elected from Monona
county.
Monnim Kccln SIlKhtcil.
Asldo from the matter of politics ,
It Is claimed. Justly or unjustly , that
the legislator should como from that
county , Inaimuch ns under the ap
portionment Monona would be entitled tea
a , representative of Its own. It the same
rule was applied to It , as la applied to other
counties with like population. Ida county
at the tlmo of the passage of the last ap
portionment act only had a population of
11,000 , nnd now , owing to the fact that both
the leading political parties have chosen their
candidates from Ida county , It furnishes
nn example of the tall wagging the dog to
such _ au extent that It la highly unsatis
factory to the people of Monona county.
Under these circumstances , the candidacy
of Nathan Llndsey. middle-of-the-road pop
ulist , for the legislature In Monona county
has developed unexpected strength. The
fight which Is now In progress has been
largely stripped of Its political character by
reason of the fact that many of the leading
politicians ot the -county , Irrespective of
party , have Identified themselves with his
candidacy and It is now conceded by those
who have kept themselves In touch with the
political situation in this district that he
will poll a vote largely In excess of that
usually given to candidates ot his party.

home.
The remedy has a peculiarly grateful effect
of warmth direct to the. diilred location ,

much moniy perhaps your life.
