POSTPONE "ACTION ON DITCH
Wednesday Is let for Taklag Final
Action, On the Combination
Proposition
The Board of County Supervisors met in
adjourned session yesterday and took up
the matter of the proposed joint drainage
ditch for Harrison and Pottawattamie
counties, but adjourned to Wednesday
without taking any definite action.
A number of claims for additional dam
ages were presented by owners of property
through whose lands the ditch will be con
structed, and the board also listened to a
number of protests against the ditch.
A bond for $20,000, to be signed by the
authorities of Harrison county, was pre
pared and turned over to tbe commissioners
from that county. This bond Is to Insure
the payment by Harrison county of the
excess cost of the construction of the ditch
In Pottawattamie county to carry off the
water from Harrison county.
A compromise was effected with the
Northwestern railroad over the Pigeon
creek ditch, the railroad withdrawing Its
claim for damages In consideration of the
course of the drain being changed so as
to pass under ono of Its trestle bridges and
thus obviate the necessity of the construc
tion of another bridge.

MUCH DOING POLITICALLY
Contest for County Treainrership th Prin
cipal Bon 0: Contention.
THREE-CORNERED FIGHT IS INTERESTING
Other Offices Partially Lost Sight of,
Thongh They Are Not Going?
Wlrtioet aa Effort la
Most Instances.
Politically there was a hot time In Coun
cil Bluffs yesterday. Not for many years
has a county convention aroused such In
terest among the republicans of Pottawat
tamie county, and by evening more than
half of the delegates from the countiy pre
cincts had arrived in 'he !ty arid were
busily engaged in fixing up the situation.
The three-cornered contest over the nom
ination for county treasurer was responsible
for thla unusual activity on the eve of the
convention.
The Kiel hotel, where the "antls" ond
supporters of Emll LefTert, candidate for
the nomination for treasurer, had estab
lished headquarters, was the center of ac
tivity, and here the delegites knd candi
dates gathered last night. The lobby of the
hotel was Insufficient to contain the crowd
and it was forced to overflow out onto the
sidewalk. Old-time politicians insisted that
the nomination for treasurer was all In
the air, but the youngor and more confi
dent element was not afraid to claim that
LefTert had sufficient votes to secure the
pl'im on the first ballot.
At LefTert' s headquarter, which were in
charge of former Postmaster I. M. Trey
nor, It waa claimed that LefTert had ninety
if not mora votes to start with. The con
vention being made up of 17S delegatss, it
will take 88 votes to secure a nomination.
L. O. Consigner of Avoca, the candidate for
treasurer from the east end of the county,
was conceded to have thirty-five delegates.
This would leave J. P. Greenshields only
fifty votes, but his friends claimed lost
night that on the first ballot he would
have between sixty and sevonty. There
was talk of the LefTert and Consigner
forces forming a combination In order to
defeat Greenshields and the so-called
"ring."
The friends of ths three candidates were
working hard last night among the coun
try delegates and the situation may be
somewhat changed by tho time the con
vention Is called to order at U o'clock this
morning. The general opinion, however,
late last night was that neither ot the
three candidates had a cinch on the nom
ination, although Left art "Has conceded to
be in the lead.
CetamlnaT Is Confident.
For the nomination for sheriff, Ed Can
ning of this city appears to he a sure win
ner. His friends last night claimed that
he would go Into tho convention with at
least 100 rotes, and If this proves to be
the case he will secure tbe nomination on
the first ballot. Captain X B. Cousins,
the present Incumbent, who is seeking a
third term, will be strongly opposed by
those who are against a third term, and it
was stated that one of the first matters
to be brought before 'he convention this
morning would be a resolution aralnst th'rd
terms for any county oncer. It Is ex
pected that the resolution will be intro
duced by Lay ton township. Such a resolu
tion was Introduced at the county conven
tion last year, but was snowed under, but
this year. In view of the fact that the
county central committee last fall prom
ised that no third-term candidates would
be before the convention this year. It is
believed that the resolution will prevail.
Ed Blade of Avoca, David W. McKee of
Carson and G. W. Adam of Walnut are
also candidates for the nomination for
sheriff and will enter the convention with
the support of their precincts, but what
other strength they will develop la prob
lematical. There will be quite a contest over one of
the nominations for member of the Board
of Supervisors. Allen Bullls of Wright
township. It Is believed, will be given a
renomlnatlon without opposition, but for
the other nomination there are several
aspirants. L. D. Goodrich . of Neola an
nounced yesterday afternoon that he had
withdrawn In favor of George W. Spencer,
the candidate from the same township.
Frank 8. Friend, H. Zlgler and John Zal
mer, all of Rockford township, are also
seeking the nomination.
Contest for Representative.
W. H. Freeman, It is said, will be re
nominated for state representative by ao
clamatlon, but there will be a contest for
the nomination to succeed Representative
John H. Jenks of Avoca. The two candi
dates are: A. L. Preston of Avoca and R.
J. Martin of Hancock and the contest be
tween them promises to be Interesting,
although Preston's friends laat night were
claiming the Inside track.
For county superintendent of schools
Prof. O. J. McManus appears to be the
favorite, though he may be barred out by
the third term resolution, as he Is now
serving his second term. His only oppo
nent Is Prof. H. L. Calllett of Macedonia,
who labors under the disadvantage of being
practically unknown to the people of this
end ot the county.
Thomas Tostevln la expected to secure
the nomination for county surveyor, al
though some other candidate may be
sprung In the convention.
As far as appears on the surface. Dr.
V. L. Treynor will not meet with any op
position for. the nomination for coroner.
There promise to be o.ulto a lively contest
"over the selection of the delegates to tho
convention, aa the "antla" have d-

Board ef Health Does Little.
Owing to the absence of City Physician
Houghton, but little business was trans
acted at the meeting of the Board of
Health last evening.
Property owners In the vicinity com
plained tat on Eighth and Ninth avenues,
between Eighth street and the Northwest
ern tracks, a number of low-ly'ng lots
were filled with stagnant water and were
a menace to the health of the neighbor
hood. They asked that they be graded and
filled. The board will lVestlgate the mat
ter Wednesday morning.
In the wit)' I'hjsician was left the aiettci-
of preparing a clrculnr giving Instruction
how to guard against typhoid fever from
Impure water. These circulars are to be
distributed In the portions of the city
where the residents are dependent on wells
for their water supply.
DISMISSES TELEPHONE SUIT
Jadge Taxes Costs to Cossty
Action Brought by Ceasty
Attorney.
la
Tho derision of Judge Thornell In
quo warranto proceedings brought
the
by
County Attorney Killpack against the Ne
braska Telephone company was received
here yesterday. He dismisses the pe
tition of the county attorney and taxes the
costs of the suit against the state. This
Is the suit In which the county attorney
sought to have declared null and void the
franchise under which the Nebraska Tele
phono company Is operating In this city.
The position taken by the county attorney
waa that the ordinance granting the fran
chise was Invalid from the fact that the
aye and nay vote on Its passage by the
city council had not been properly re
corded In the minutes of that body.
The trial of the suit of Mrs. Nellie Klrby
for dlvoreo from William Klrby was be
gun before Judge Wheeler In the district
court yesterday morning and owing to the
large number of witnesses subpoenaed by
the defendant It is expected to occupy the
attention of the court for two weeks. The
plaintiff was on' the witness stand the en
tire day and her cross-examination was
not completed when court adjourned for
the day. She proved an admirable wit
ness and told the story of her alleged
wrongs In a concise and plain matter of
fact manner.
Counsel for the plaintiff In his opening
statement to the court said his client was
ready to admit that her husband had pro
vided a good home but while doing so he
nad dogged her every movement with
nineteen detectives whloh he had era
ployed from time to time.
The defendant has filed a cross Detltlon
in which he not only asks that he be given
the divorce but that the deed conveying to
the plaintiff a half interest in the farm
be declared null and void.
Mrs. Allle E. Bollinger began suit for
divorce yesterday against James Bollinger,
a well known traveling man of this city,
alleging cruel and Inhuman treatment and
asking the custody of her minor daughter,
aged 17 years. Mr. and Mrs. Bollinger
were married In Danbury, la., March 1,
1881 It Is said that Mrs. Bollinger's do
votlon to church and club affairs first led
to the trouble between herself and hus
band. Mrs. Matle S. Bolte commenced suit for
divorce from Julius Bolte to whom she
was married In this county March 18, 1887.
Charles L. Coats alleges that Emma M.
Coats, to whom he was married at White
Pigeon, Mich., In 1881 abandoned him In
1888 for another man and therefore now
asks the court to give him a decree of
divorce.
Ho More Ltagie Ball.
Buck Keith was forced to admit yester
day that he was all in and Council Bluffs
will no longer be represented In the Iowa
South Dakota base ball league. It Is
possible that the team and franchise may
be transferred to Sheldon, which Is anxious
to get Into the league.
From the start Buck Keith, whose cap.
ltal was very limited, has met with noth
ing but hard luck. The rain unolled a num.
oer or the opening games, with the result
ln" K-eitn was paying out good money
all the time with nothing coming In. The
attendance at the games up to date has
been poor and yesterday when Landlord
Martens of the Creston noise called upon
Impressarlo Keith for the board of the
team the latter was forced to admit that
his bank account was overdrawn.
Sioux City was to have played here today
and Wednesday, but Buck Keith's men will
Instead go to Bloux City, where they wilt
Play probably as representing Sheldon.
One thing is certain, that no more games of
the league will be played in Council Bluffs.
Local fans could not be Induced to patron
lie the class of playing put up by Keith's
aggregation.
Keith stated yesterday that In addition to
the board bill due at the Creston house for
the team, he owed his players about 8250
for salaries. He expects that J. U. Sammls
of Lemara. president of the league, will ar
range to liquidate this Indebtedness when
the team Is transferred to Sheldon. Keith
has sold a number of season tickets In
Council Bluffs and in this way has about
$100 outstanding, which, he said yesterday,
he hopes to be able to refund.

DE9 MOINES
June 8. (Special.) The I
only contest on for a place on the repub
lican state ticket Is over one office, that
of superintendent of publlo Instruction.
Thus far this has not developed Into much
of a contest, save In the northeastern
part of the state, where the present state
superintendent, Mr. Barrett, Is meeting
with the opposition of Superintendent H. L,
Adams of Fayette county. The past week
a number of conventlone have been held
In that part of the state. A strong effort
was made by Adams to get the delegations I
from Wlnneselk and Howard counties and
to get Instructions, but Instructions were
refused and It is known that the largest
delegations from both counties are divided
between Barrett and Adams. These coun
ties are near to the home counties of both
men. In the Sixth district most of the
counties havo been indorsing Superintend
ent J. F. Rlggs of Slgourney for the place,
and he will have most ot the counties of
the Sixth congressional district. In othe
parts of the state Instructions are el1 im
given, but in Dickinson county Instructions
were given for Barrett. Some time ago
theie was opposition to the renomlnatlon of
Palmer for railroad commissioner on the I
ground of his having been in publlo off.es
long time, ut this has been entirely elim
inated and the sentiment of harmony for
the republican stale convention Is so atn.r.g
that it Is regarded as doubtful If there
will be more than one roll call on the en
tire state ticket.
Report on Land' Assessment.
Reports were received from tour counties
of the state today on their valuation for

rial increase In the total valuo of reul

Hlgglns Wants Rehearing;.
An application was made to the supreme
court today for a rehearing In the case
of the State against M. J. Hlgglns, from
i-ouawaitamie county. His case was
passed on by the supreme court at the last
term and his sentence affirmed. It waa In
regard to his case that the court upheld
the method of drawing juries in Pottawat
tamie county, dividing the county into two
part, and Hlgglns' attorneys claim that
becauae the attention of the court was si
strongly drawn to this phase of the case.
which was purely technical, the merits of
his former appeal were entirely overlooked.
They therefore ask to have the case re
opened. Hlgglns was convicted ot adul
tery. Would Marry Ont of Prison.
Alice Miller of thla city, serving a four-
year sentence for keeping a house ot ill
fame. Is seeking pardon and as one ot the
reasons declares that a man at Boone de
sires to marry her. It develops that a la
boring man at Uoone named James Mulli
gan has caused to be circulated petitions
for the pardon or parole of the woman
and has Instructed attorneys in Des Moines
to do all In their power to secure her re
lease as he desires to marry her and take
her to his home. It is unlikely any parole
will be issued under the circumstances.

Dr. Hers):
To the Zionist Convention, Pittsburg: The

position In the world Is more appalling than
at una wcpii at any niumvm in uv imi
century. The name of Klshineff, written
with letters of blood and fire In the other
nd ev.v new martvroloay of Israel, is
sufficient by Itself to bear out this state
ment.
It shows that for our neonla there Is no
such thing as progress. For us history
has not moved onward by one step for the
laat 804 years. We are still In the fearful
period of the crusades when the ptous
warriors of the cross trained themselves
to their heroio work by the wholesale
slaughter of Jews. It shows also that
Zionism Is the only way to lead our mis
erable brethren In Russia and elsewhere
out of their present hell. I would despair
Of Judaism, and of humanity as well, If
the rree and nappy jews or America were
to turn a deaf ear to the blood-curdling
tale of Klshineff.
Israel Zangwill sent the following mes
sage:
Greetings to the Pittsburg Convention:
The Klshineff massacre has brought home
to the blindest the nued of a publicly and
legally safeguarded home for our unhappy
race. When you come to consider where
this centralised home should be, you will
find no plaoe as practicable as Palestine
or, at least for u start, its neighborhood.
May the strenuous town of hie and steel
In which you meet Inspire you to build a
great bridge over which Israel shall pass
to his ancient home and his glorious future.
