"MASON " CITY. la. , Nov. D. ( Special. )
The recent death of Jesse Bracken In this
city at the Ago of 100 years and five months
recalls the fact that there Is living in the
city at the present time a man who bos
reached the advanced ago of 111 years. This
Is Henry Boonp , a * colored man , who Is
making his homo with his daughter , Mrs.
L. W. Tyler , on Water street. Mr. Boone
was .born In slavery In the state of Vir
ginia Juno 7 , 1788 , on the plantation ot
a rich Virginia planter named Sandals. Ho
was a slave for seventy-two years and was
novcr sold from the family of his original
master. When his first master died ho
wont to Arkansas with Mrs. Blunt , hla
master's daughter , and remained there until
ho was liberated by General Curtis , by whom
ho was brought to the north , Mr. Boone
is In remarkably good health and bodily
vigor and works around the house con
tinually. He retains his memory splendidly
and can remember distinctly the news of
the death of George Washington , as ho was
at that tlmo 11 years of age.
In the old slavery times the marriages
of the slaves wcro arranged entirely to suit
the convenience of their masters and Mr ,
Boone has had eight wives , nearly all of
whom wcro sold away from him to some
other estate. He is the father of thirty-two
children by his various wives , four of whom
ore the children of his last wife , whom ho
brought north with him and who died about
twelve years ago. Two of tbeso children ,
Mrs. L. W. Tyler and Mrs. F. L. Palmer ,
are residents of this city. At the tlmo ot bis
second marrlago Mr. Boone waa 70 years
of age.

Preparations for the election to bo held

booths have been located to the bast pos
sible advantage and are doubtless known to
every one. The polls will open at S 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 alt city c-lectlons 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 theemployes ot the
great corporations hero will be given nn
opportunity of voting some tltn * . during the
day. The work will be so managed that
the men will each be allowed nt least one
hour oft duty In order to enable them to
vote.
vote.U
U was reported on the streets yesterday
that a. pollscman doing duty In the Fourth
ward gave It out cold that no ono would be
allowed In the booths to watch the count.
The omccr has evidently been misinformed ,
as this question Is plainly decided on page
S3 ot the Nebraska election laws. Section
19 on the page mentioned reads as follows :
"Ilcforo any ballot shall bo deposited In
the ballot box the ballot box shall be pub
licly opened nnd exhibited and the Judges
nnd clerks Fhall sec that no ballot Is In
such box ; after the box shall he locked and
the key delivered to ono of the Judges ,
U shall not bo again opened until the close
of the polls ; and the ballot box shall not
bo removed from the view of the electors
present until the polls are closed and all of
the votes shall have been counted and can
vassed ; nor shall two of the Judges ho
absent from the room or uuuuing in wmcn
the election Is held , at the same time ,
during such voting and canvassing. "
Those who have thoroughly canvassed the
local situation arc not backward In predict
ing a good , big republican vote. Ono well-
known candidate who Is In close touch
with all tbn different nationalities said
yesterday that It was a mistake to think
that the Dohcmlans 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. It was admitted that
Bohemian politicians had been trilling with
the fusion leaders , but when It came tea
a square understanding the fuslonlsts had
not kept the pledges made to the Bohemians
nnd consequently the vote would bo the
same as It has been In the past , principally
republican.
A few changes In the total registration
will doubtless 'bo made when the books are
returned to the city clerk nnd the footings
gone over again for verification. The
change , however , will ho slight , probably
not moro than a dozen all told , nnd this
will make no real difference In the total
as reported In Sunday's Bee , which was
3,831.

'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

confidence had been restored. The workingmen -
ingmen were urged to continue this prosper
ous condition ot affairs by continuing the
republican party In power. Mr. Donate
urged everyone to vote on Tuesday for a
continuance ot 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 those present were shown that pros
perity only came after confidence had been
restored by electing republicans to office.
Candidate Holcomb was scored and a

of Two Countlm.
SIOUX CITY , In. , Nov. 6. ( Special. ) The
fllrlfc between the Gear nnil Cummins fac
tions In the Monona-Ida legislative district ,
In the attempt of the candidates for the
United States senate to secure this dis
trict favorable to their cantlldacy. has re-
eultcd In a condition of things highly un
satisfactory to the people of Monona county ,
Irrespective of political belief , by reason of ,
the fact that both republican ami democratic
candidates have been chosen from Ida
county.
Under the last apportionment of the legis
lative districts by the legislature , Ida county
was attached to Monona , as Is alleged by
the pormlletlc and democratic parties In
Mononn county , for the purpose of securing
a republican legislator from this district.
Monona county for many years has been the
hotbed of populism and tuft populists have
controlled the county by quite large ma
jorities , though In Into years It ban 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 overcoming the popullstlc majority , If pos
sible , rather than In compliance with con
stitutional requirements , popularly supposed
to covern In such matters. Election after
election has come and gone and populist can
didates have been elected from Monona
county.
Moimim Feel * SIlKhtcil.
Asldo from the matter of politics ,
It Is claimed. Justly or unjustly , that
the legislator snouiu come irora iuai
county , Inasmuch as under the ap
portionment Mononn would be entitled tea
a representative of Its own , II the same
rule was applied to It , as Is 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 , and now , owing to the fact that both
the leading political parties have chosen their
candidates from Ida county , It furnishes
an example of the tall wagging the dog to
such .an extent that It Is highly unsatis
factory to the people of Monona county.
Under these circumstances , the candidacy
of Nathan Llmlsey. middle-of-the-road pop
ulist , for the legislature In Monona county
has developed unexpected strength. The
flght which Is now In progress has been
largely stripped of Its political character by
reason of the fact that many of the leading
politicians of 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 of his party.
