I'HOCIOIilMNtJS 6F TUB CITY COUNCIL
Much Routine Work Attended to by

At tho regular monthly session of the
city council last night two ordinances

wholo later. Mayor Jennings wns skeptical
as to whether n city electrician could bo

pose of paying a superintendent of fire

namo of tho officer nnd gavo him greater
scopo and that no question could arlso as
to the payment of his salary out of tho
fund already appropriated.

which will cut a ftguro In the assessment
of both pieces of work, Tho report of tho

to be $1,439.78 for cash or $1,517.15 for
certificates.

Btarted the annual tax sdlo of delinquent
property and the bidding proceeded at a
brisk rato until overy pleco offorcd had

Owing to tho small list of property of

hard bidding and tho competition between
tho several buyers was of tho keenest kind.
Thero was a lively demand for tho bettor
class of lots and In ono case, tho property
being a hotel on South Main street, It
was knocked down to a bidder who of
fered to pay tho taxes for 1-3,500 part of
tho property. In sovcral Instances bids

parts of lots.

INCREASE IN IOWA'S VOTE
Total Not Quite Up to What Some People
Expected.
COUNTY OFFICIALS RESIGN THEIR PLACES
Knny XVny of Settling TnnRle That
MlKlit lluve Developed from
the l'nult In the Tltim
Amendment,
DES MOINES, Dec. 3. (Special.)
Thero Is disappointment over tho poor
showing mado by Iowa In the matter of
tho Incrcaso of tho total vote of tho stato
as compared with four years ago. Taking
tho first named of tho clcctors-at-large as
having secured tho largest voto the In
crease In four years Is only 8,808, which Is
certainly not In proportion to tho Incrcaso
In population of tho state during that pe
riod. It Is explained by the fact thnt Iowa
wns so strongly republican that many per
sons did not deem It worth vhlle to voto
and tho cnmpalgn In this stato lacked tho
enthusiasm It had In somo other Btatcs.
It Is also truo that the Iowa voto of four
years ago was more nearly equal to tho
full voting strength of tho state than In any
other year. Tho number of defective bal
lots or Incompleto ballots this year was
less In Iowa than usual. Four years ago
tho voto for presidential electors was 4,005
greater than tho voto for secretary of
Btnte. This year tho dlffercnco Is only
2,010. Tho number who voto only n part
of tho ticket, cither Intentionally or
through error. Is therefore decreasing. Tho
ropubllcnn majority seems to be Increas
ing moro rapidly on tho national ticket
than on tho stato ticket. Tho republican
majority showed a gain of 27,341 In four
years and tho gain In majority on tho head
of tho stato ticket In tho samo tlmo was
only 23,215. Tho voto on congressmen ran
pretty close to tho voto for prcsldcntlcl
electors, tho aggregate- majority for con
gressmen being 85,051, or 210 less than the
mnjorlty for McKlnloy.
ItcNlKiiHtloiift of Ofllclnln.
Ono might supposo from tho number of
resignations that aro being offered In
Iowa at this tlmo that office-holding had
suddenly become burdensome, but tho
resignation epidemic only Indicates that a
great majority of tho men In omclal po
sitions aro honest with their constituents
nnd desire that tho will of tho peoplo shall
bo observed faithfully. Ab no solution of
tho biennial election muddle has vet
been suggested and no move has been taken
or Is likely to bo taken to test tho effect of
tho nmondmont beforo tho tlmo for the
annual official houseclcanlng, thoso Btate
and county officials who do not want to bo
under BUtpIclon of official greed aro tender
ing their resignations. Tho Btnto officers
set tho pace nnd mado It clear that al
though tho amendment Is of doubtful mean
ing nnd literally construed would extend tho
terms of offlco of tho present Incumbents
ono yoar, they aro going to step out and
glvo their duly elected successors a chanco.
In Johnson county and several other coun
ties, certain of tho county ofllcers have
virtually announced that they will remain
In ofllco until the courts dccldo that thoy
must step out. They will wait for the
neWly elected porsiiri to act. In Tama
county tho county' attorney, Walters, has
placed his resignation -In trie hands of the
proper officials. From Farmlngton comes
Information that Supervisor Wood has sent
In his resignation and asks that the ap
pointment of his BUccc3sor be mado tho
first Monday In January. The county ofH
cfals affected aro tho auditors, recorders,
clerks of courts, county attorneys and mem
bers of tho boards of supervisors. This
means between 500 and 600 county officials
In Iowa.

In regard to Mrs. E. J. Nixon, whoso
bedy was found In tho Iowa river In Mar
Bhalltown county In July last, It has been
learned that sho did go from Manchester
to Atlantic, or nearly to Atlantic, at tho
tlmo of her disappearance, for alio got off
the train at Anita and, not being ablo to
glvo an account of herself, was placed In
chargo of tho town marshal. Ho finally
Bent her to Adair. It seems probablo that
as sho was unable to tell whero sho wished
to go rrom thero sho bought a ticket to
tho eastern part of tho Btnto and then went
to Marshalltown, whero she wandered to
tuo river nnd was accidentally drowned.
Ab sho was In good health, though feoble,
wnon sue left Manchester, tho case Is
very strange.

Don't You Think
It's Your Move?
Just look around your office! Are your windows
clean? Is the gas light dim? Do you come up
in a dinkey, crowded little elerator that doesa't
run nights or Sundays, and is run by a fresh
elevator boy who jars your breakfast every time
you ride? If so your office is not in
..The Bee Builditig..
But it ought to be. There is no janitor service
like theirs. You have electric light, steam heat
and perfect elevator service. There are no un
desirable offices in the building. We'll take
pleasure in showing you them.
