REPUBLICANS SEE VICTORY Chairman Brown Eipecta Party to Elect Major and Councilman. SOLID BUSINESS VOTE FOR MORGAN His Majority Over Jennings Is Fore casted as Three HandredWnraa Contests (or Ward Al dermen. Although the municipal campaign prac tically closed Ssturday night, several of the candidates improved the opportunity to put In a few finishing 'touches Sunday. The campaign while short has been lively, and both parties have been working day and night since the nominations to secure supremacy at the polls today. Two years ago the city campaign was quiet and the work done was on tho still-hunt order, but this year things were entirely different and for the last two weeks the city has been In the throes of on of the warmest political campaigns seen In many years. What the result of all thl hard Work on ths part of the candidates and their sup porters will be, the ballots today will tell. Chairman Brown of the republican city central committee said yesterday he was pleased with the situation and the outlook for a republican victory was exceedingly bright.- He said: "A careful canvass of the situation throughout the city Indicates that the republicans will elect their en tire ticket. Including the six ward alder men. A careful estimate has been made and it shows that Dell O. Morgan wtll be elected by a majority of at least 800 votes over Victor Jennings. Tho rest of the ticket will be elected by safe majorities. Mr. Morgan's candidacy has gained strength dally and nothing except a complete land slide, which Is not at all probable, can prevent his defeating Jennings , In addi tion to the loyal support of his party Mr. Morgan will receive a large number of votes from business men In state and na tional politic affiliated with the demo cratic party. Mr. Morgan will bo the next mayor of Council Bluffs, and he will have a republican city council and administra tion to work with." Hogbes Bnoys I'p Democratic Hone. Chairman Hughes of the democratic city central committee said yesterday he was confident Victor Jennings would be elected by a safe majority. Thl assertion was made despite the well known fact that Jen nings I meeting with opposition in his own party and that to be elected he would have to draw strongly from the republicans, which Is not likely. Figures taken from the results of the city election in 1900 may prove Interesting at this time, considering many of the candi dates there are In tho field again this year. Mayor Victor Jennings two year ago had as his opponent Dr. Baratow. Jennings was elected by a majority of 398. City Solicitor Wadsworth ran against G. H. Scott, since elected Judge of the superior court, and he only succeeded la defeating Scott by fifty-two votes. His opponent this year is 8. B. Snyder, who will poll the full vot of his party and who Is re garded aa a sure winner Frank True, re publican candidate for treasurer, two years ago defeated A. K. Cooper, democratic nom inee, by 288 votes. This year hla opponent Is Peter Jensen, a cigar manufacturer, who, although successful In his particular line of business, has had absolutely no ex perience In managing the finances of a city, as he would be called upon-to do In the event of hla election, which Is not at all probable.' Frank True during hla connec tion with the city ha shown himself an efficient and capable officer. F. L. Evans in 1900 was reelected auditor by a majority of 506 votes over Kelly, the democratic nom inee, and this year he will doubtless roll up an even larger majority over Vigo Bad ollett, the democratic candidate, who was given the nomination when no one else coulj be found to take it Will Be Different This Year. Two year ago City Engineer Etnyre had as his opponent Harley Mayne and defeated him by 436 votes. This year be has Thomas Toatevln a the republican candidate against him and the story will be totally different. Mr. Tostevln ia regarded a on of th most experienced civil engineer, in thl. section of . the country, and the record ho established while filling for several terma the office of city engineer entitles him to election today. Mr. Tostevln, besides serving a city engi neer, has filled the office of mayor of thl city. Frank Everest was elected city assessor two years ago by a majority of 188 over Vigo Badollett, tho democratic nominee, who this year I the democratic nominee tor auditor. Frank A. Blxby, Mayor Jen nings' former chief of police, la the demo cratic candidate thla year against Everest and thla means nothing short of a walka way for Everest. Blxby'. political record la agalnat him and It I. said he will not even secure the loyal support of his own party at th poll today, Hlggeson, present dem ocratic welghmaster and candidate for re election, wa elected two year ago by the mall majority of 38 vote over Joe Spald ing. Thl year Hlggeson has a his op ponent Charles E. Sackett. an old soldier and an old-time citizen, who stands well In th community and who will doubtless be elected. Contest for Ward Aldermen. Th contest for ward aldermen in some of the wards promise to be exciting.. Ia the First ward th republican will put up a strong. fight to wrest th ward from the grasp of . democracy by defeating Charley Huber. who wa elected two year ago by 188 majority. With J. R. Bell as the re publican candidate this year they believe that Huber can be defeated and relegated to private life. Huber' record as chairman of the streets and alley committee. It 1 urged, should be sufficient to defeat hint. In the Second ward Alderman E. H. Lou gee has as hi opponent Thomas Maloney, the democratic nominee. The cltiten of this ward are sat Is lied with the repreaenta tlon they have bad during the last two years In th city council and Lougeo, who two years ago defeated J. N. Caaady. th democratic nominee, and J. . D. Johnson, who ran independent, will b sleeted by a sura majority. In th Third ward Alder man E. H. Brown was elected two years ago over E. P. 8earlo by a majority of . This year b ha pitted against him M. H. Tlnley. Alderman Brown has always looksd well after the Interests of his constituents and ha been successful In securing public Improvements for his ward. Th contest un doubtedly promises to be Interesting, but Brown's re-election I said to be certain. Alderman McDonald la the Fourth ward wa elected two year ago by a majority of 114 and tbl year it I conceded b will be re-elected hand down. Ia th Fifth ward th two candidates are new la th field. J. C. Fleming, th republican nominee, has hi opponent John B rough, who served la th council sum year ago, but wa retired to prtvat life after voting la favor, of grant tha atrnot mm aQm-. kr , " tension of it frsnchlse for fifty years. Fleming la regarded a a sure winner at the polls today. The Sixth ward alderman contest Is Inter esting tbls year, as the same two candidates are pitted against one another as two years ago. In 1900 Israel Lovett, republican, de feated Al Wells by a majority of 20, and this year he Is expected to defest him again and win out by a larger majority. Open from Seven to Seven.

(From a Staff Corresnondent.l DES MOINES. March 30. (Special.) The legislative session appears to be nearlng a close. The senate has already adopted a resolution to limit the time of debate and to hold night sessions from this time on. The house has similar resolutions ready. Sifting committee will be named early thl week. An effort will be made to push through this week all of the Important legislation yet to be considered. The com mittees have done their work. The calen dars are now well filled. One day last week the senate calendar appeared with 130 bills upon it for consideration, and every one was of some Importance. A night session was held one evening and twenty bills disposed of, but they were mainly legalizing acts. The calendars tomorrow morning will show from 100 to 125 bills on each one, and this does not include thoee that are of greatest Importance, the ap propriation Tills. But the disposition Is to make bast from thl time on and unless something unforseen comes up, the legisla ture will gc through tho middle of next week and aujourn. Appropriation Matters. The appropriation bills are In practically, fjo better condition than they were a week ago. The conference subcommittees of the two approDrlatlons committee are at work trying to reach an agreement on the main appropriation bills. There must be a cut ting down of the bills at some nolnt and the committees are finding their "task a difficult one. During the last week they have made practically no progress. The members of the State Board of Control were before the entire legislature one evening to discuss these bills or those relating to tne various penal, charitable and correc tional Institutions; but they were not able to point out how and where deductions should be made In the estimates they have already furnished the legislature. The committees have decided upon not making appropriations for the various park pur poses suggested. There was to be pur chased a park at old Fort Atkinson, an other at Spirit Lake, and so on, but none or tnese project will be realized. Some of the bill for appropriation will be condi tioned on the securing from the general government of the war claims of the state. The legislature is certain to greatly in- '!0.f,th ,Ut' D9 . --"- ou uKureu ii out mat If the bill all get through that are In con- vempiauon ine salary list or the state, in cluding that for Judges and for various county office, will be increased about 1160,000 annually. Educational Institutions. The bill for the pproprlatlons for the educatlona) Institutions hsve not yet been acted cn. There are bills to be passed not only for tho support of the three great collegiate Institutions, but for each one separately there is a bill for giving a spe cial tax levy for building purposes. These have yet to be considered in detail. They nave oeen neid back awaiting final action , . . . b hnd r" .: " 0" 0 . bill to place the educational Institutions under management of one board Instead of three has been beaten In the house, where It originated. The heads of the state In stitutions at once made a hard fight on thla bill and insisted on continusnce of the old order of things. The bill had been post poned, but the agitation on the subject has been such aa to make it reasonably certain it will come up at another session and re. celve more consideration. Railroad 9feasores. The railroad legislation Is in a peculiar stat and some interesting developments are expected the coming week. The rail way assessment bill was defeated In tbe house after it had received consideration In the committee only. The vote was over whelmingly against It. The Molaborry bill, which wss vetoed by the governor. Is still a live Issue and may cause lots of trouble for the legislators. The consideration of the veto has been put off until Tuesday. In the meantime a new bill has been pro pared and presented and Is on the calendar for consideration. It is generally believed that the veto will be sustained and imme diately following this the second bill will be passed, and with it tbe Hubbard bill, which is declared to be a part of the same legislation, and which supplements the Mols berry bill These two bills will be sent over to the bouse snd that body will pass them on promptly to the governor. It ia anticipated that he will not hesitate to veto them, but that the legislature will be able to pas both of them over hi veto. To do this is sure to cause an ea IraOKomcul bolween the executive and legislative branches .of the government and to bring about political conditions fraught with great danger in ths future. But it 1 oo th program to push matter through to aa immediate crisis This may take up more of th time of the week than it Is entitled to, in which case th general work of tho week will be delayed. General Legislation. Th only general legislation which ha ps com law by th paasag of both w . . I V " I.JTTTTT . ww-uwmm mu aa pvcu. siguca py ia gov - ernor, Is of comparatively little Interest This Includes such bill al reduction of Interest rate on county warrant from to 5 per cent, providing for notice to garnishee before Judgment la entered. peals from commissioners of insanity, mak ing taxes on property in hand of a receiver a first llsn thereon, making it lawful to vote tax aid for trolley lines, giving slat board of health power to do work neglected by a local board, providing for semi-annual Inspection of coal mines, permitting savings banks to receive larger deposits, taking oft limit of fees for filing Incorporation papers, authorizing library boards to condemn ground, prohibiting sale of cocaine, except on prescription, providing heavy punish ment for kidnaping, punishing for having burglars' tools In possession, providing for a code supplement and new edition of the Iowa code, and a concurrent resolution looking to an amendment of tho conatltu tlon for biennial elections. OUTLET TO ATLANTIC COAS Plana (or Road front Plttsbara; Oil lined by Joseph W. Relnhart. P1TTSBCRO, Pa.. March 80. In tho midst of the present Interest over a new seaboard outlet from Pittsburg a full statement of the plans and purpose of one of the most Interesting as well as one of the most my. terious of those project can now be made This Is In connection with tho Chesapeak Western railway. The statement comes from Joseph W. Relnhart, formerly president of the Atchison, Tope k a at Santa Fe, and who 1 now at the head of the syndicate which Is furthering this project. Mr. Relnhart says: It Is not generally known, but It Is a fact that before the Pennsylvania Railway company secured control of the tide-water traffic through the purchase of the Balti more & Ohio, Norfolk Western and Chesapeake & Ohio, a number of men quietly took up the project for the con struction of a line of railway from the Ohio river through the northern West Vir ginia coal fields and from Virginia to the Atlantic coast. This enterprise has been carried forward: and nas now a foundation upon w hich the whole structure will shortly be erected. This project Is known an the Chesapeake western railway, it negins at Uloucester Point, or York Harbor, Va where a large acreage of land for tide-water terminal has been bought. The line runs northwesterly ana westerly, taxing in tne cnesapeaxe et Western railway twenty-seven miles, built and In operation In the Shenandoah valley, Virginia, which Is owned by the syndicate, through 1"0 miles of the coal fields of West Virginia to a point near Parkersburg. Construction work on over MO miles of the line westwardly through the Shenan doah and Allegheny mountains Into West Virginia is now under way, with fourteen milt's of track laid and over half of the entire line has been surveyed and located, estimates of construction made thereupon and preparations are now being completed for general construction. The line Is In no sense a parallel road with any existing railway, but opens up new anu proiinu territory mrougnoui lis length. The greatest care was exercised by the owners to secure an ocean tide-water ter minal that would be In every respect suit able for handling the large traffic or a trunk line railway, and Gloucester Point was selected. It Is of much significance that the west. ern terminus of this project Is at Parkers, nurg, w. va., to wnicn city a line la now being bunt by tne uouids from a connec tlon with the Wheeling & I.ake Erie a Zanesvllle. It Is also significant that George J. Gould, the head of the Gould In terests, spent a ween at Uloucester Point last summer ant is tnorouabiy in touch wun me wnoie situation.

Two coiorea burglars were caught redhanded at an early hour thla momlnr nl a mi. ored officer who apprehended them had to inmct a ratal wound on on before be wa abls to get them in band. The officer wa Ira Miller, who heard tho crash of r! and going into an alley found two negroes with their arm full of small notlnna hni which had been stolen from a Jobbing bouse in tnai vicinity. The officer attempted to arrest the burglars, when they attacked him, one of them striking the officer on me up wun a sharp Instrument, which Inflicted a bad wound. ' Miller then shot one or the men aad took them both to tbe police station.

The mayor and about halt the aldermen and most of the other city officer are to be elected. At the republi can primary held a few days ago nearly 10,000 votes were cast, but It Is expected that tbe entire vote In the city will not be over 14,000 In spite of this apparent enor mous majority of republicans it la gen erally regarded as decidedly uncertain a to the outcome, especially on the bead of the ticket. James M. Brenton, the repub lican nominee for msyor. Is an energetic campaigner and has been doing good work but his opponent Is running on a "citizens" ticket and will not only get the entire dem ocratic vote, but also thst of many repub llcan business men who have been pleased with his administration and for business reasons prefer that there shall be no change In city affairs at thl time. Both sides are therefore confident of victory tomorrow, A unique feature of the aldermanlo cam paign I the candidacy of Al Moore, a well known newspaper reporter, for alderman In the second ward on an independent ticket. his platform being antagonism to Jobbery In the council. Moore has more than a state wide reputation as a writer, especially on railroad matters, but he has been for many year fighting jobbery and corruption In city affairs and is making his campaign oa the record thus made. Ioternrban Line Abnndoned. Although a fight for a new franchise for a street railway to be operated In connection with a proposed interurban railway to Col fax and beyond had been projected into tbe city campaign, and a citizens' committee ia engaged In making a fight for a council that will grant new franchises, the pro moter of the Una to Colfax yesterday un expectedly announced that they will not ask for a franchise. They had been at work for more than a year securing franchises and right-of-way east of Des Moines and it was supposed they were in a position to enter the city if they secured a franchise here. But they have announced that they are out of the field and do not want to build an Interurban line Into Des Moines. Tbe promoters have claimed that they rep resent large capital from Cleveland, O. Grand Army Encampment. A local committee of arrangements for the Grand Army encampment to be held In Des Moines, beginning May 20 next, has made a preliminary announcement of tbe program for the encampment.

The entire month of March had been pleasant, but at the close tbe weather has turned to disagreeable. "Allied" Party Delegates.
