DEMOCRATS NOT PLENTIFUL Hardly a Corporal's Guard of tbe Faithful Attend the County Conven ion. NAME DELEGATES TO STATE CONVENTION Are t'nlnstmcted, bat Bald to Be Opposed to Reaffirmation of the Kansas City and Chicago Platforms. Less than thirty of the 178 accredited delegates were present when County Chair man Mack Ooodwln called the democratic county convention to order yesterday morn ing at 11 o'clock in the south court room of the court house. Many of the precincts were not even represented by one lone delegate. The lack of Interest In the con vention was attributed to the fact that only delegates to the state convention which meets in Des Moines next Wednes day were to be selected and that a county ticket was not to be nominated until a later date. Chairman Ooodwln, on ' calling the corporal's guard to order, named Former Mayor M. F. Rohrer as temporary chair man and Louis' Zurmuehlen, Jr., as tem porary secretary. The temporary organisa tion was made permanent with little for mality. On assuming the gavel and casting his eyes over the vacant chairs Chairman Rohrer refrained from making any lengthy speech, although he had fully Intended doing so had the attendance been such as to warrant It. He contented himself, how ever, with expressing his appreciation of the honor conferred on him In being called so unexpectedly to preside over such a gathering of the democrats of Pottawatta mie oounty. When It was suggested that a committee on credentials be appointed it developed that In several of the townships no cau cuses had been held and the representatives from these precincts present were on mo tion accepted as the duly accredited dele gates. The convention being thus organised, al though Jn a somewhat Informal manner, the work of selecting the delegation to the state convention was proceeded with. These were named as a committee to select the delegation: F. A. Blxby, Victor Jennings, Sylvester Dye, John T. Hasen and John P. Organ. The committee, after experiencing aome difficulty In securing the names of a sufficient number to fill the delegation, re ported the following list, which was promptly accepted by the convention: Victor Jennings, C. D. Walters, James O'Neill. Sylvester Dye, T. B. Casady, W. L. Kankin, J. M. Coons, A. L. Purdy. J. B. Johannsen, George Thomas, Thomas Bow man, Roscoe Barton, Warren Hough, J. P. Organ. F. V Miller, E. P. draney. J. R. Black, S. D. Toby, Hugh McLean, George 8. Davis and A. O. Wyfand. The delegation will go to the state con vention unlnstructed. It is said, however, that it is opposed to the reaffirmation of the Kansas City platform and will be In favor of adopting an entirely new platform. The handful of delegates present ex pressed themselves as favorable to deferring the county convention at which a oounty ticket will be placed in the field until Sep tember. N. T. Plumbing Co.

A bicycle that requires the united strength of three strong men to lift Is one of the strongest ever made, and It will be on exhibition In this city soon. " When a noted German conceived the Idea of teaching an elephant to ride a bicycle he did not doubt his ability to teach the animal to do the trick, but he waa afraid a bicycle could not be made strong enough to support the weight of the elephant. After several attempts he soon found a firm that was willing to contract to build a practicable bicycle which would carry an elephant After a second test the wheel was ready, and in twelve weeks after the bicycle was done the elephant was dally enjoying bicycle rides around the ring barn. The representative of the Great Wallace Show was abroad in search of new acts and he finally Induced Mr. Herkenrauth and protege to come to this country under a Ave years' contract, and when the Great Wallace Show exhibits In Council Bluffs Monday, June 22. one of the most attractive animal acts with the show will be the bicycle tiding by the elephant that studied In Germany. lastltate a Disappointment. The Pottawattamie County Normal instl tute, which closed yesterday after a week's session, proved a disappointment In several respects. In the first place the attendance did not reach what County Superintendent McManus had anticipated and then the failure of Dr. Leland to reach the city In time to deliver his lecture Friday evening was another sore disappointment, especially as it was the only public lecture arranged for the Institute. The protest of the teach era against the army of book agents being permitted to canvass in the Institute build inw will. It Is hoped, result In this permis sion being withdrawn next year. Lasfdos a Dlpsonsaalaa. William W.

Early yester day morning he was discovered In a badly Inebriated condition and after he had suffi cient time to sober somewhat he was taken Into court and Judge Wheeler ordered "hlra committed for the period of two years. He will be taken to Mount Pleasant Monday morning by Sheriff Cousins. Insane Over Hm Ball. Benjamin W. Shonqulst, a young man 19 years of sge, living at the corner of Sixth street and Avenue J, was yesterday committed to St. Bernard's hospital by the commissioners for the Insane. He has become mentally deranged over base ball. One year ago he was paroled from the state asylum at Lincoln, his parents then making their home In Nebraska. Since that time he has been able to talk about nothing but base ball and never missed the opportunity of witnessing a game, no matter whether the players were profes sionals or boys lined up on the commons. It was all the same to htm; It was base ball. . When the commissioners asked him if he remembered who was the warden at the Lincoln asylum he replied: "Why of course I "Jo; It was Buck Keith." Noth- J lng the commissioners could say would make hlra believe but Buck Keith, who made such a lamentable failure of manag ing the Council Bluffs team In tho Bush league here, was In charge of the Nebraska asylum when he was there. At the request of his parents he was committed to St. Bernard's hospital In stead of to the state asylum at Clarlnda. Fnneral of Karl Mayne. The funeral of Karl W.

Dr. Droppers is charged with having taken a drink "once" and that he smokes cigarettes. He is also charged with Incompetency. The investigation was held at Vermilion, and business men of Vermilion and ministers of the church testified. In regard to the charge of incompetency, Editor Wiley of the Re publican testified that the president of the university had addressed a letter to him: "The Republican, Dear Sir:" He regarded this as sufficient proof of the president's Incompetency. Dr. Taylor, pastor of the Methodist church, testified he had seen one or two college presidents, and Dr. Droppers did not come up to the standard. C. E, Prentls. a business man, testified he had once got a whiff of the president's breath when it had about It a fragrance not ac quired wholly from Inhaling the atmosphere of the South Dakota wilds. O. M. Thomp son had seen the president smoking. A charge of political persecution has been raised, but this Is denied. Dr. Droppers is neither a republican nor a democrat, but a sort of sociological free lance, after the cult of Prof. Ely of the University of Wisconsin.
