The patrons ot one school refused to accept the order and the school was closed. J. J. Cook, one of the patron of this school, appealed from the order ot the board to the county su perintendent, contending that the meeting of th board at which the change ot text book had been decided upon had been ir regularly called. County Superintendent McManus sustained the action of the board and now the state superintendent reverses his ruling, and hold that the meeting wa irregular and therefore the order, changing the text book Is null and vold.V " Th state superintendent' ruling place th director ot the township in rather an embarrassing position, as patrons of the school in that township who have been to th expense ot buying the new text books for their children. It is said, are likely to come back at the director and demand that they take the books off their hands. X. V. Plumbliu Co., telephone ISU Davis sells glass. Heal Estate Transfer.

Culltson of Harlan, a member of the Shelby county bar, was nominated yesterday afternoon by the democratic con vention of the Ninth congressional district to make tbe race against Congressman Walter I. Smith, the republican nominee and present representative from the dis trict. Samuel B. Wadsworth of Council Bluffs, former city attorney, was nominated as candidate for the district bench by the democratic convention of tbe Fifteenth Ju dicial district. Three Judges in the Fif teenth district are to be elected this fall, but the convention only placed In nomina tion one candidate, believing that by o doing and concentrating their effort on one man they might possibly "pull one chest nut out of tbe fire.'' Both conventions were mere farces, not more than a doxen delegates being In at tendance at either. Several counties In both districts were not even represented by a single delegate. The proceedings of the congressional convention. It tbe gathering of ten democrats could be called such, were enlivened somewhat by an attempt to force the adoption of a resolution reaffirming the Kansas City platform in its entirety. The attempt, however, waa defeated, despite the desperate effort of one lone delegate from Pottawattamie to cast the twenty votes the county was entitled to. The op portune appearance on the scene of another delegate from Pottawattamie prevented the disposal of the twenty votes In such a man ner. The congressional convention was sched uled for 1 p. m., but It was nearly an hour later before It was called to order by S. B. Morrtssey of Harlan, chairman of th con gressional committee, who named J. E. Klrkwood of Harrlaon county a tempo rary chairman and Edgar Brown of Mills county, editor of the Hastings Record, as temporary secretary. Editor Brown was an avowed candidate tor the congressional nomination and making him. temporary sec retary was an evident scheme to place him on the shelf. At least so Mr. Brown In terpreted it and did not hesitate to state so. Committees on credential and perma nent organisation consisting of three mem bers each were named, and this left only the chairman and secretary to keep the convention going while tbe committee were formulating their reports. N. Chrlsman ot Neola, who had his pock et loaded with resolution which prior to th convention be had been Industriously reading to everyone he could prevail npon to listen, urged that a committee on reso lution be appointed. This was opposed by J. K. McGavern, a veteran politician from Harrison county who had been post tinder President Cleveland. McGav ern took tbe stand that the state conven tion had adopted a platform for the party in Iowa and that it waa sufficient. McOav ern carried the day, much to Chrlaman's disappointment in not being able to make public hi carefully prepared bunch ot res olutions. George W. Culllson wa then placed in nomination by McGavern, and William Don elan presented the name of Editor Brown of Hastings. Mr. Brown, however, withdrew hi nam "for th sak of harmony," aa he stated, and. Culllson wa nominated by ac clamation. , Th chairmen of th several county com mittee were then appointed member of th congressional committee. H. B. Holsman of Guthrie county then attempted to fore th convention to adopt a resolution reaffirming the Kansas City platform, but was opposed by W. C. Camp bell, editor ot th Harlan Tribune, who urged that for the convention to pursue such a course would place Candidate' Culllson in a most embarrassing position. Holsman then tried other tactics. He amended his motion so a to include th ratlfioatlen et th Des Moines platform, but McGavern op posed this and th original motion and the amendment were defeated. N. Chrlsman, the Neola spellbinder, then started to work oft" a free sliver speech, which h had prepared for the county convention at Neola, but which he had been prevented from making. He spoke for about fifteen minutes, during which everyon left th hall exoept the chairman, J. J. 8ha, and one man who wa crippled with rheumatism. He wa finally called to tlm and th half dosen delegate resumed their seat sufficiently long to pass a motion to adjourn. The judicial convention wa called to or der at 11 a. m. by Frank Tamtslea of Mis souri Valley, secretary of the Judicial com mittee, in the absence of a chairman, and Fremont Benjamin ot Council Bluff was called upon to wield th gavel. , Committee or credential and permanent organisation were appointed and a this depleated tbe convention an adjournment was taken until S o'clock in the afternoon, in th hopes that by that time the attendance would increase sufficiently to transact business. On reconvening in the afternoon th tem porary organization wa made permanent and the committee on credential announced that Audubon, Fremont and Page counties were not represented. Editor Brown of Hastings took th floor and suggested that the convention only nom inate one candidate for tbe district bench, a it waa well known to tbe delegates as sembled that the fight was a hopeless one In any case and that by making only one nomination and concentrating their efforts on that one candidate they might possibly "pull one chestnut out ot th fir." That being the situation he placed in nomination Samuel B. Wadsworth ot Council Bluffs ss the one chestnut they might possibly be able to pull out of the fir. No one else having a candidate to offer up for tbe slaughter Mr. Wadsworth was accorded the nomination with all the enthusiasm that a convention consisting ot eight delegate could muster up. After naming the Judicial committee the convention adjourned. Notle to Subscriber. All the number ot "Th Living Animals of th World" are now complete and can be obtained for the next few day at th Coun cil Bluffs office of The Bee. It 1 requested that those deatrlng ta fill out their numbers call at one and get them, a unsold copies will be returned In a short tlm. Aasess Sewer Tase. The city council met yesterday after noon and after Impeding the recently completed sewer on Benton, Vaughn and Harmony streets assessed the cost of the improvement agalnat the abutting prop erty. It was decided that the property wa able to bear tbe full coat of the Im provement and th city will not have to assume any of th expanse. Tbe aldermen as a committee of th whole took a rid over Gleaaon avanua and decided to recommend that $200 b expanded la grading It. The council adjourned to Monday night, September 21. Achat Haa Plenty of Trouble. John Achats, keeper of the Red Light aloon on Broadway, bad a whole pack of troubl on hi shoulders last nlgbt. Thoma O'Brien, whom he had ordered out of th place, returned armed with a pavlog brick, which he hurled through the plat glass mirror back of the bar, smashing the mirror Into a thousand and one piece and play Ing havoc with the glasware on the shelf. O'Brien waa arrested, charged with mali cious destruction of property. Achats had barely resumed his composure after this Incident when Harry Edwards walked Into the saloon and tried to pick a quarrel, i Achat ordered him out and this Edwards reeented ,lt is alleged, by picking up a heavy beer glass and hurling It at Achats' head. It missed it mark, but did consid erable damage back of the bar among the glassware. Edwards wa arrested on a charge of disturbing the peace. MRS. J. G.

The trustees of tbe Stste Normal school at Cedar Fall have decided thst they will not abandon Instrutlon In military tactics for the young men who attend the school.

Nothing the matter with his heart. In the summer time, this gas distention is much worse, his whole body and blood get over-heated, and his heart and lungs get so crowded for room, that he gasps for breath. There he is, look at him ! Every minute he expects to drop dead. Asa matter of fact, all he needs is to stop that souring and gas forming in his stomach and bowels, help his digestion along, and keep cool inside.

Cam wa In tbe wood about three mile from town and headed for the river with tbe evident intention ot crossing to the Iowa side.
