Tho abovo woro nominated for ward alder
men at tbo democratic primaries last night.
Tho democratic caucuses last night re
sulted In a signal victory for Mayor Jen
nings despite tho fight put up In most of
tho precincts by cx-Chlef of Pollco Frank
Blxby and his coterie of followers. Tho
Blxbyltes wero completely touted and they
failed to securo a single delegation, Mayor
Jennings oven winning out In Blxby's own
precinct. It now looks as If Mayor Jennings
will go Into tho democratic convention to
morrow night with tho support of practi
cally every one of tho fifty-four delegates.
Tho principal fight mado by tho Blxby
ltes was In tho First, Third and Fifth wnrds
nnd In thoso precincts a comparatively largo
voto was cast. In tbo Second nnd tho
Fourth wardn Jennings had everything his
own way, whllo In the First precinct of
tho Sixth Ward tbo opposition mado some
thing of a fight, but not sufficient to at
any tlmo cause any alarm among the sup
porters of Jennings.
CiiNpur Turned Down,
Tho fenturo of tho primaries In tho First
ward was tho turning down of Alderman
Casper, Charles Huber winning out by a
Inrgo majority m both precincts. C. It.
Nicholson was also a candidate and managed
to securo moro vot than Casper. Tho dele
gation selected in tho First precinct Is a
straight Jennings delegation, will to In the
Socond Devlno and Hughes wero on both
tickets. In tho First precinct, the homo of
Mayor Jennings, tho Blxby in on put forth
their full strength, but were downed by a
voto of 117 to 41.
In tho Second ward the delegations In
both precincts aro straight for Jennings. J.
N. Casady, Jr., for alderman had a walk
nway from O. H. Lucas, the latter only se
curing about 25 votes.
In tho Third ward both delegations are
straight for Jennings. E. P. Searlo and John
Schocnlng wero tho two candidates for alder
man and tho voto In tho First precinct was
a tic, each receiving 27 votes, In tho Sec
ond product Searlo won out by a vote of 10
to Schoenlng'8 12. Tho Jennings delega
tions wero elected by a voto of about two
to ono over tho Blxby ticket.
In tho Fourth Ward, tho homo of tbo
silk stockinged voters, Joinings had It all
his own way, although In tho First precinct
eoino Joker cast a ballot for Blxby for dele
gate. J. B. Atkins, tho present Incumbent,
and S. G. Underwood wore tho candidates
for alderman. In tho First precinct At
klim got 11 moro votes than his opponent
and in the Second ho had 1 the best of it.
lint 1'lKlit In (he I'lftli.
Tho First precinct of tho Fifth ward, the
homo of ex-Chief of Pollco Blxby, witnessed
tho hottest light of tho ovonlng. Jennings'
delegation won by a majority of 39. Tho
candidates for aldermen wero Frank Fox,
who received 38 votes; W. W. Comes, 20
votes, nnd N. E. Tyrrell, 19 votos. In tho
Second precinct two of tho dolcgatcs se

both tickets. For alderman Fox re;elved
38 votes; Cones, 2; Tyrrell, 1, and J. A.
Smith, 5,
In tho First precinct of tho Sixth ward

On orders from Judge Thorncll of tho
district court tbo sheriff yesterday took
chargo of tho four small children of Mrs.
Mlnnlo Jeffries, a widow living on First
avcnuo between Thirteenth and Fourteenth
structs. Complaint was mado to tho au
thorities that tho children woro being
shamefully neglected and Investigation mado
by tho officials yesterday showed It to bo one
of tho worst cases that had ever been
brought to their attention.
Tho children, four boys, whose ngca range
from 7 yearn to 18 months, wero placed
temporarily in tho caro of Deputy Sheriff
Martin nnd his wife nt tho county Jail. This
morning Judgo Thornell will hear tho case
and Uecldo as to the disposition of tho
children. Superintendent Lnnlngham of tho
Iowa Children's Homo society filed tho com
plaint and mado application for tho chil
dren to bo turned over to tho society.
Tho father of tho children died a few
months ago as tho result of Injuries re
ceived by a fall from a wagon and slnco
thon tho mother hns not only neglected
them, but, it Is chnrged, maltreated them
In a shocking manner. The youngest, a
moro baby of 18 months, was found with
Its mother yesterday morning when Deputy
Shorlffs Canning and Peterson went to cjc
ccuto tho order of the court, but tho other
thrco boys wero not to bo seen. Mis.
Jcrfrlcs admitted she bad hidden thorn at
tho homes of some of her friends In order
that tho ofllcors might not get them. In
quiry among tho neighbors, however, re
vealed whom tho children had been placed.
The two eldest were found with a family
named Harrison at Sixteenth street and Av
enuo B and the third boy nt Nineteenth
street and Third avcnuo with a family
named Oilman.
Tho condition of nil the children was
simply appalling. Their clothing consisted
mainly of rags and their emaciated bodies
wero covered with dirt and vormln. The
baby found with the mother was nudo and
looked as If It had not been washed slnco
tho day of its birth. Tho backs of two of
tho boys woro covered with large welts and
bruises, tho result of beatings. Tho houso
In which Mrs. Jeffries lives was In n filthy
condition, worso than n hogpen, ns one
of tho deputy sheriffs described It.
Hov. Henry DeLoug returned from Little
Sioux yesterday and reported to Judgo Thor.
ncll that tho grandparents of the Taylor
children wero not only unable to caro fop
them, but wero not willing to do so, as had
been ciaimod by tho little girl's parents
Judgo Thornell accordingly Issued nn order
turning tho children over lo tho care of
tho Iowa Children's Home society. The
order was mado conditional, howover. In
tho ovciit of Mr. and Mrs. Taylor living
together ns man and wlfo for tho next
six months nnd tho husband keeping from
drink and paying tho society $1G a month
for tbo caro of tho children, then nt tho
expiration of that tlmo the socloty shall
return tho children to their parents, other
wise thoy shall remain permanently as
wards of tho society.
A homo has been found for Arthur Sims.
tho little son of Harry Sims, who was
abundoned by his father. T. E. Wolcott
tho dairyman, has notified tho court of his
willingness to tako the boy on probation
for six months nnd If nt tho end of thab
tlmo all Is satisfactory ho will legally adopt
him; If not, ho will bo turned back to the

Tho largest fiock of domestic ducks In tho
world Is at present catlns 100 bushels of
corn dally at tho Loo ml 3 duck farm near
this city. Thoro nro 13,000 of them. A.
K. Loomls, whoso cxtenslvo operations havo
earned for him the sobriquet of "tho poul
try king," has recently mado a successful
experiment that promises to revolutionize
ono branch of the poultry business. Largo
dealers whoso energies nro devoted to sup
plying tho big cities with llvo poultry havo
cxpcrloucod great difficulty In preserving tho
plumpness of fowls when removed Into new
surroundings. The refusal of tho birds to
ent results not only in shrinkage, effecting
nn Immedlnto money loss, but makes them
less marketable. After twenty years' ex
perience In feeding fowls In largo numbers
for market Mr. Loomls has discovered that
tho ducks nro tho only ones thnt can be
ted In largo numbers with success.
"I havo tried fattening every kind of
poultry," said Mr. Loomls. "and I havo
never hnd any success with anything but
ducks. Just beforo tho holidays I tried to
fatten 5,000 chickens. They wero bought
from fanners In all parts of tho countrv.
Wo put them Into a large enclosure and
tempted them with feed by tho barrel. It
did not rcqulro long to see that they were
shrinking ovcry day. I soon found that
they would not cat food that was greedily
dovourod while on the farm. Most of their
tlmo was Bpcnt on tho roosts. Tho henn
would not como down nnd the roosters wore
engaged In constant light. The result was
I lost a nlco bunch of money on them. Then
I tried turkeys. Tho result was Just iib
disastrous, Ono big gobbler that weighed
thlrty-slx pounds when placed In tho yard
foil away to thirty-two pounds after being
fed three days.
"All my experiments with ducks havo
proven different. They don't roost nnd seem
to adjust themselves to now conditions very
teadlly. Wo started with a Hock of 5,000,
which proving a success, wos gradually In
creased to Its present dimensions of 13,000,
that aro now nearly ready for tho market."
As Mr. Loomls does not breed fowls, only
feeding them for market, ho does not rc
qulro very cxtenslvo quarters for his duck
fn.m A tu-n.ncrn trnnt nf irrnllnil fillrrnimrlnd 1
by sheds
i and houses In the form of a hollow
square constitutes tho Hold of bis opera
tions. Ducks, however, constitute only ono
branch of thu poultry king's business. Thus
far this season thirty cars of dressed poultry
and twenty cars of eggs havo been forwarded
to eastern markets.

CEDAH HAl'IDS, Ia March 5. (Special.)
One of tho most exciting elections held i
hero In many years occurred today, a very
lieavy voto being polled. The democratic
administration, which closed a two-year
term, had started n movement for mu
nicipal ownership of tho water works, and
at a special election held last fall a propo
sition for tho city to obtain Its own water
works plant carried by n largo majority.
Although tho republicans in their city con
vention declared for municipal ownership,
the democrats continued to mako It an leuuo
by clnlmlng that It was not safo to change
at this tlmo, for tho exact standing of new
members of the council was not known, nnd
It was tho safest to return the old men.
Tho republicans conducted n spirited but
short campaign, and succeeded largely In
breaking down this argument. Ono thing
that entered Into tho election and resulted
In a largo voto being polled, was tho ac
tivity of tho nntl-saloon people, who do
slred that Just as largo n voto be- polled

DHADWOOI), S. I)., March 5. (Special.)
Tho political situation In the Black Hills
has changed perceptibly in the last few
days. A week (igo, beforo tho announce
ment by Congressman Gamble of bin Inten
tion to stand for tho senate, K. W. Martin
of Deadwood had everything ready for his
candidacy as Senator Pettigrow's succcs
bor. When Congressman Gamble made the an
nouncement that ho would try for tho sen
ate, thcro was temporary disorganization of
tho republican forcr and for a fow dnys
It was a question with tho Hlack Hll's re
publican party men whether to continue
tho Martin race for senator or to put up
a congressman.
Tho question has now been settled. Tho
friends of Mr. Martin from all parts of the
Illack Hills, on account of Mr. Gumblo's
nnnounco.'nent for tho senate, havo boon njl
vising him to glvo up his senatorial nsplra-
tlons and stand for congress. This ho has
consented to do. This courso simplifies tho
horetoforo somewhat complicated political
situation In tho Hills. Mr. Martin wao en
dorsed practically by every republican paper
In tho Illack Hills for tho senato nnd tho
samo papers aro backing him for congress.
He U assured of tho solid backing ot tho
counties of tho Southern Hills, which, with
tho representation from Lawrenco county,
will glvo him n solid backing from tho
Illack Hills, nn honor which has never be
foro boon given a homo man. Tho candidacy
of Mr. Martin Is also receiving support from
tbo party men of tho eastern part of tho
stato and his friends bcllcvo ho will easily
havo a majority voto at tho stato conven
tion. Tho Illack HIHh will go to tbo Sioux
Kails convention solid for Martin.
