morning as Nick Worlds, a youth formerly
In the Christian home. Nick had a mania
for running away from the Institution and
on several occaatona went through more or

he Invented and told the authorltlea showed
that the youth had an unusually fertile
brain. One of hla most recent escapades
waa to steal a horse and buggy across the
river and on another occasion he suc
ceeded in Ingratiating himself Into the
good graces of the Omaha police, who for
a while credited him with being quite a
young hero. Several montha ago Manager
Lemen of the Christian home placed the
boy to live with a family named James on
Thirteenth avenue, Mr. Lemen paying for
his board. Nick and companion had been
to Manawa 8unday and it was while re

LAYING POLITICAL WIRES
Delegates from Country Arrive Early and
Begin Talking Politics.
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

TROUBLE OVER THE ROAD FUND
Coaaell Will Inalet ipts Hnvln All
Expended Within the
City.
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.

DE9 MOINES. July 7. (Special.) 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.

Jadlclal Convention to Be Held
The republican judicial convention for the
Fifth district will be held at1 Earlham,
Madison county, tomorrow, beginning at 11
o'clock a. m. The district comprises the
counties of Guthrie, Adair, Dallas, Madlaon,
Marlon and Warren. Judgea Gamble of
Marlon and Applegate of Outhrle will b
renominated by acclamation, after which
there will be a conteat for the third place
between Gu'her of Madison and Nichols of
Dallas. Delegates who were In the city to
day on the way to the convention expressed
the belief that Nichols will win. He has a
large majority of the delegates from Outh
rle county and will divide even in Warren
with Gulher. The latter has a little the
best of It In Adair county, but Marlon
county will probably give Nichols the moat
votea and nominate him. The preaent third
judge Is Wilkinson of Madlaon and he haa
held the office many years.

SUNSTROKE INSURANCE
When the summer's heat gets about 00 degrees, you are liable to be sunstruck
any time you are out in the iun, unless you take the proper precautions. 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.
