TWO NOMINATIONS ARE MUCH IN DOUBT Knmerens Candidates for Clerk of the Coarts and Conaty Attorney Complicate the 8lt- nation. Monday waa a busy day politically, espe cially among the candidates for the several nominations to be dealt out by the re publican county convention today. A num ber of the country precinct delegations arrived in the city yesterday afternoon, most of them making their headquarters at the Kiel hotel, which during the evening was the scene of much activity. The can didates from the' city were to be seen hobnobbing with the country delegates In the endeavor to strengthen their fences while on the other hand Indlvual dele gates from the outalde preclncta might be eeen earnestly conversing with the "ctty folks" in the endeavor to secure some pointers as to the situation. During the afternoon the delegates from Wright, Waveland. Norwalk, Hasel Dell, MInden, Orove and Macedonia arrived on the scene. The early arrival of the country delegates indlcatea that there will be aomethtng doing at the convention today because as a rule the delegates from the outside precincts do not reach the city until the morning of the convention. The contest over the nominations for clerk of the district court and county attorney promise to be the star feature of the convention. The fight for the nomi nation of clerk of the district eourt, it Is expected, will be particularly keen, there being so many candidates In the field, each of whom it is believed will have a good sited backing. For some time past it has been known that more than one of the country preclncta will come Into the con vention opposed to according candidates a third term nomination, but It Is now very doubtful whether any such resolution will be sprung today. The situation Is such that It seems very doubtful If it will be when it Is taken Into consideration that Auditor Innes and Recorder Smith, both t whom have served two terms, will go be fore the convention today with practically no opposition for a renomlnatlon. With the nominations for clerk of the district court and county attorney, the situation is different, both County Attor ney Klllpack and Clerk Reed having several opponents in the field against them. Sltnntloa Badly Mixed. Such was the situation last evening that even the old time war horses declined to pick out the winners for these nomina tions. There la no doubt but that Free man Reed will go into the convention this morning with a strong following, espe cially from the country precincts, and hla friends are confident that he will be re nominated without much difficulty, pos sibly on the very first formal ballot. On the other hand Q.' O. Batrd's candidacy cannot be overlooked nor his atrength underestimated, as he haa a Targe power ful following In the city. H. V.. Battey of Avoca, a( present deputy clerk there, and the east end of the county candidate for the district court clerkship, will enter the convention with at least four of the pre clncta from his aectlon of Pottawattamie Plumbing and heating.

Assistant County Attorney Kimball has been doing some bard work within the last few daya and yesterday was wearing a sangulna smile and feeling more or less hopeful that the lightning would strike his way today. The contest for the two nominations for members of the Board of Supervisors does not promise to be very exciting and it is believed that Supervisors Brandes and Bullls will be both accorded renominatlona. The county convention will be called to order at 11 o'clock this morning In the superior courtroom by Chairman Wright of the republican county central committee, who will name Oeorge S.

The city council last night determined that the entire portion of the county road fund raised by taxation on property within the city should be expended by the County Board of Supervisors upon the streets and thoroughfares within the corporate limits and under the direction of the committee on streets and alleys. The matter waa brought before the council by a commu nication from Supervisor Baker, In which he notified the city council that under the action of the Board of Supervisors he had charge of all county road work In Kane and adjoining townships, and the expen diture of that portion of the county road fund levied ' within the city of Council Bluffs, and that he was now ready to begin work In accordance with the pur pose and spirit of the code. He asked that the city council give him such directions as it might wish in accordance with the Intent of the code In regard to the ex penditure of said money on the public roads. Aa a reply to Colonel Baker's communi cation this resolution, Introduced by Al derman Lougee, chairman of the streets and alleys committee, was adopted and the clerk Instructed to deliver a copy to the county board: Resolved, That the Board of Supervisors of Pottawattamie county be directed to expend upon 'the streets and public high ways within the city of Council Bluffs the full amount of the 1 mill road tax col lected from property within aald city and that said work be done under the direc tion of the committee on streets and al leys of this council. Supervisor Baker contends that the In tent of the code Is not that all of this por tion of the road fund should be expended on the streets within the city, but on the roads and thoroughfares leading into the city. It la said that he will likely refuse to expend the entire amount within the city and that the courts may have to bo appealed to again to determine the contro versy. Mayor Morgan submitted his appointment of Attorney W. S. Balrd, Attorney J. J. Stewart and Dr. J. H. Cleaver as members of the Free Public Library Board of Trustees, and they were 'duly confirmed. Attorney Balrd succeeds himself, on the board, while Mr, Stewart and Dr. Cleaver will take the places of T. E. Casady and E. A. Trbutman, whose terms have ex pired. Mr. Balrd and Dr. Cleaver are re publicans, while Mr. Stewart la a demo crat. The two retiring members are demo crats. The request of the committee from the Elks that the lodge be allowed to occupy First avenue between Pearl and Seventh streets, and South Sixth- street between Broadway and Willow avenue, for the pur poses of the carnival and atreet fair for the week of September 1 to 6 Inclusive, was granted on condition that the Elks secure the consent of the abutting prop erty owners. The committee has already secured permission from the park board to occupy a portion of Bayllss park. The rejection of W. H. Knepher'a bill for the repair of the Tenth street bridge over Indian creek led to a heated alter cation between Knepher and Alderman Casper. Knepher accused the alderman of being responsible for the defective lumber supplied and Alderman Casper, on the other hand. Insisted that Knepher had done the work on hla own responsibility Instead of under the supervision of the city en gineer. The bridge collapsed the day after Knepher . had completed the repairs and slid Into the bottom of ,the creek. An effort to have the bill referred to the com mittee on claims waa defeated. The pas sage of words between Knepher and Alder man Casper provided considerable amuse ment for the lobby and the mayor bad to rap for order more than once. Alderman Huber wanted to know why Street Supervisor Taylor did not furnish the council with an itemized atatement of the money expended on the atreeta, and made a motion that he be required to do so. Alderman Lou gee explained that it waa practically Impossible to designate the exact amount spent on each particular street and the motion failed to carry.

The state executive council this morning com menced consideration of the telephone and telegraph reports received by the auditor of state, with a view to making the an nual assessment for taxation purposes on this claaa of property In Iowa. Whereas last year there were 287 of theae reports to be considered by the council, this year more than 600 have been received. There haa been much less reluctance on the part of the companies In making reports thla year, because the assessment on the pri vate and farmer lines haa been light and the taxation question one of only a fow cents. A great majority of the reports are of small companies, having less than a dozen telephones. Reports show the num ber of miles of wire, the number of polea, ths number of telephones in use, whether they are toll lines or not and other Infor mation on which to baae the assessment. The enormous Increase In the number of companies the last year and In the num ber of telephones in use is a surprise to everyone, and Indicates that the entire state Is being covered with telephone lines. Next Monday the council will be ready to hear all persons who may wieh to speak In relation to the assessment of telephone and telegraph companies. This work will keep members of the council busy until the time of taking up assessment of rail road and express companies. Will Tench the Teachers.

Sev eral years ago, the writer of this, who has spent much of his life in the tropics, thought he was safe from sunstroke. One day he collapsed, remained uncon scious for five hours, and at times his life was dispaired of. As a matter of fact, any person whose stomach and bowels are in baa shape in the summer time, Is liable to be sunstruck in temperature that would be harmless under normal conditions. That's all there is to it. Stomach and bowels full of festerinr. fermenting refuse that forms acids and gases, raise the heat of the body and mood many degrees, bcientists have found that natives of the South Sea Islands, living on laxative fruit, bananas, cocoanuts, bread-fruit, have a temperature 20 degrees lower than that of white men who are careless about their food or their bowels. It has been found in years of experience, that a CASCARET Candy Cathartic taken at bed-time every night will keep the body clean and cool inside all day, and forms a safe and thoroughly reliable form of sunstroke insurance.
