Uhango Come. Orer Political Situation
During the Part Week.
REPUBLICANS CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS
TTredlrtlen that Lowest Majority on
the Ticket Taesdar Will Be
Above the Oa Ttaou
aad Mark.
"The sssurances for republican success
with Increased majorities were never more
flattering." wu tbe statement yesterday
of Chairman Georgn 8. Wright of the re
publican county central committee. While
there appeared to be a general apathy on
the part of the people In tbe earlier atage
of tbe campaign, the laat week brought
about a great change. Tbe candidates
en tbe republican ticket who bad been
'out In tbe eaat end of the county returned
to the city Saturday night or yesterday
and they all report that there la great en
thusiasm In the party ranka and everything
Indicates that practically the full party
vote will be polled for the entire ticket
.Tuesday.
The campaign this fall has been unique
in that no meetings or rallies were beld.
except In a few placea In the county, and
what work haa been done has been done
by the randidatea themselves. This plan.
It Is said, haa borne good fruit and Chair
man Wright expressed tbe opinion yester
day that the campaign, which will close
this evening, has been one of the best
ver waged In Pottawattamie county. He,
with other prominent workers of the party,
was feeling well satisfied yesterday that
Dotblng short of a miracle could prevent
the election of the entire republican ticket
Tuesday.
Chairman Canning of the republican city
entral committee was likewise feeling well
satisfied at the outlook. The poll of the
elty, which had been carried out under his
personal supervision, Indicated an Increased
republican majority within the city con
fines, and the result of the registration
Eaturday was also pleasing to him.
!o Graders Register. '
A check of the registration books yester
day Indicated that two-tbirds of the voters
who have registered anew this year are
republicans. For a time alarm was felt
that the democrats Intended registering the
grsders now working In . the city on the
Oreat Western, but the returns Saturday
night showed that this fear was groundless.
'It Is doubtful If any of the graders reg
istered and the vote Tuesday will be a
bona fide one.
Both Chairman Wright and Chairman
Canning expressed tbe opinion- yesterday
that the. majority of -no candidate . on the
republican ticket : would fall below the
1,000 mark this year. -
It Is generally conceded that the re-election
of Congressman Walter I. Smith Is a
foregone conclusion, and the same Is true
of the three republican candidates) on tbe
judicial ticket Judges Tbornell, Oreen and
Wheeler. The democrats hoped by making
only uue nomination for Judge of the dis
trict, court to elect their candidate,, but
thevare not of : the ejtme "opinion hew, a
everything Indicates that the. three Judges
named by tbe republicans . will, be re
elected without tbe slightest doubt. Colonel
Saunders, the republican nominee to aucr
ceed Postmaster Hazelton In the state
enate, is conceded to have a walkaway. '
The democrats have been centering their
efforts' to a great extent on Louts Zur
muehlen, tbe candlate for clerk of the dis
trict court., but there la little likelihood of
blm defeating Freeman Reed. Mr. Reed
returned Ejnturday from the east end of
the county, where he la Just as popular at
ever and where as before he will poll the
full party vote. Mr. Reed during his In
cumbency of the office of clerk of the dis
trict court has proven himself one of tho
most efficient officers in the court 'house
and one of the most courteous. Tbe affaire
of the office, have always during bis tenure
been handled In a thoroughly businesslike
manner, and his . re-election for another
two years is practically assured. '
County Attorney KHlpack, owing to tho
duties devolving on blm at tbla present
term of court, was unable to make an ex
tended campaign, but reports from the
country precincts Indicate that his re-election
is assured, the' only question' being
the slie of bis majority. The record of the
manner la which the business of the county
attorney's office has been managed during
Mr. Klllpack'a Incumbency and the expense
which has been saved the taxpayers In
conducting tbe criminal cases alone ought
to Insure Mr. Klllpack'a re-election by an
overwhelming majority.
County Auditor Innea bas tbe reputation
of being one of the best county auditors
who ever held the office. Not only bas he
at all times proven himself thoroughly ef
ficient but bis Innate courtesy to all per
aona having business at the court ' house
bas made him innumerable friends through
out tbe county and among the number are
jnany democrats. . Mr. Innes haa done but
little campaigning this fall, his duties hav
ing kept him at bis office most of the time,
but his re-election Is conceded. The same
'may be said of County Recorder Elmer
Smith.
Not much interest haa been displayed In
the township ticket, but Indications are
that Justice George Carson will be re
elected by a sweeping majority and that
Ovlde Vten will be elected to succeed Jus
tice Brysnt.

First Case of Smallpox since F.arly
prlnsr is Discovered ta Des
Motnee Death of Kos
sath's aister.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Nov. 2. (Special.) An
echo of the old days when counties In Iowa
were engaged In borrowing money with
which to aid the builders of railroads in
this state came to the surface the last
week when the county officials of Wapello
county received a present of $12,000 of
bonds standing against tbat county. The
bonds in question were Issued under au
thority of a vote of the people of the
county in 1853, which vote directed the
county judge to subscribe tor $100,000 of
the capital stock of the Burlington at Mis
souri River railway and to Issue bonds
therefor. The bonds were Issued February
1, 1864. payable twenty years after date In
New York, and bore S per cent interest.
Some twenty years ago the county wae re
minded that these bonds, or $12,000 of
them, were still outstanding, and a search
was made for them. It was regarded as
doubtful if they could be regarded as an
obligation of the county, but aa they bad
not been canceled they stood against tbe
county as a nominal debt. It was sup
posed that they had been destroyed In the
Chicago fire of 1872. But It appears that
the bonds bad remained In the possession
of the Burlington Railroad company and a
few days ago this fact, coming to the at
tention of J. W. Blythe, general solicitor
of the company, he caused them to be sept
to the county, not for collection, but to be
canceled.
First Case of Smallpox.
The first appearance of smallpox In Des
Moines since early last spring Is that of
a traveling man named J.A. Japon, who
lives on Seventeenth street? He had come
home from hie run and was taken 111. It
was supposed he bad been exposed to small
pox la tbe eastern part of the state, as
there are Indications of a breaking out of
an epidemic in several cities. He haa
been taken to the detention hospital. . Dee
Moines is much better prepared now to
care for the smallpox than ever before, as
a good hospital bas been built. Reports
from the state Indicate that the smallpox
is prevalent in eastern Iowa In a number
of places, with a tendency to Increase as
the season wears on.

AGREE IN BLAMING AMERICA
Colombian Government and Rebels
Vnlte la Bsplalalaa Continued
Herniation.
KINGSTON. Jamaica, Nov. 2. The Brit
ish steamer Trent arrived here today from
Colon. It. brings reports that the Colom
bian rebels are still to be seen in the vi
cinity of the isthmus and occasionally sp
pesr In towns along tbe railroad.
Considerable Indignation Is felt by the
Colombisns because American guards are
still maintained on the line. Officials of
the Colombisn government claim the Inter
ference of Amerlcane prevents their deal
ing effectively with the rebels, who occupy
certain towns, where they collect taxes and
make seizures of property. The revolu
tionists in their turn claim that the pres
ence of Americans prevents a final coup.
There Is much suffering on the Isthmus
snd the position of civilians there is in
tolerable. The steamer Libertador, which formerly
did service for the Venezuelsn revolution
ists, and which has been acquired by the
Colombian government and named by it
Presidente Marrquin, is reported to be
coming from Cartagena to Kingston,
where It will undergo extensive repairs. It
will be used by Colombia as a gunboat.
Representatives of Colombia have been
sent to Port of Spain, Trinidad, to pro
cure another gunboat.
With reference to the reported settle
ment between the revolutionists and tbe
Colombisn government It Is believed the
proposed terms provide for an armistice
of ninety days, during which time a Joint
commission is to frame a new constitution
giving equal rights to all.
When Trent left Colon ' last Friday It
was considered doubtful whether the set
tlement would be agreed to.

diately of course, but after a little 'time" as the poi
. sonoua impurities accumulate tbey atteok the vital :
'organs and undermine the constitution. - As a re
suit, the victim becomes pale, hollow-eyed and j -.
sallow,- the breath is foul, the head aches fre- '
quently, the strength slowly declines and the once . ': .
strong, active body becomes weak and nervous. '
