There will be no lack ef candidate, (or
tha several nominations when tba demo
crats ct rottawallamie county meet In
convention tomorrow In this city to nam
a county ticket. The fact that the repub
licans nominated a candidate for county
treasurer from the east end of the county
and not from Council Bluffs has led the
democrats of this city to foster the hope
that they might possibly capture this
plum at the November election. There Is
sn erroneous Impression prevalent among
the democrats of the city that the nomi
nation of I. Conslgney of Avoca for
county treasurer by the republicans was
rot to the liking of the members of the
party In the city and that consequently
Constancy will not receive the full support
of his party. Whether this opinion Is
shared by the democrats throughout the
country precincts is not known, but It
certainly has taken hold In Council Bluffs.
This being the case, there are several
willing to accept the nomination for treas
urer at the democratic convention's handa.
W. Brooks Reed Is one of the most active j
candidates and has the support of sev-1
eral townships as well ss quite a follow-1
Ing In the city. Louis Zurmuehlen. Jr., !
who was defeated last fall for clerk of the
district court by Freeman Reed, ts said to
be anxious to hold some political office or
other, and accordingly has thrown his
castor Into the ring again this fall and Is
announced as seeking the nomination for
treasurer. P. Gunnoude, who sines the
Great Western railroad bought out his
property has not been engaged In active
business. Is being groomed by his friends
for this nomination, and It Is said that he
Is perfectly willing to accept It If offered
him. J. R. Black of Grlswold Is said to
be the choice of the democrats In the east
end of the county and he will. If he de
sires the nomination, figure prominently
In the contest.
Three far Sheriff.
Mack C. Goodwin, chairman of tha dem
ocratic county central committee, was
thought to have an inside track on the
nomination for sheriff, but recent develop
ments show that he is not tba only as
pirant for the office among the demo
crats. James O'Neill, a veteran democratic
warhorse and a former sheriff. Is in the
field and has a strong following. George
F. Wise thinks that ha could quit bridge
building for a while, and if successful In
securing tha nomination, go after the
office.
Former Mayor Victor Jennings seems to
be the unanimous choice of his party for
the nomination for state senator and he

Riley Clark of Keola and AI Lenocker of

L. Stlmson, assistant city engineer, will. It
Is believed, have a clear field In the nomi
nation for county surveyor, although the
name of George Judson haa been mentioned
In this connection. Mr. Judson, however. Is
out of the city and It la doubtful if be will
be seriously considered.
Dr. C. H. Bowers, Dr. Mel Bellinger and
Dr. W. P. Hombach are mentioned as
candidates for the nomination for coroner.
Dr. Bellinger, It is said, can have the
nomination If he so wishes.
Crop ef Supervisors,
For members of the board of county
supervisors as usual there are several
willing to serve the county in this respect.
Those most prominently mentioned are
Sylvester Dye of Macedonia; Peter Max

ship and B. G. Underwood of Council
Bluffs. The name of Jacob Hansen of
Keg Creek, who formerly held a seat on
the board aa a republican, haa also been
mentioned In connection ' with this nomi
nation. It Is said, but with what authority
Is not known, that Mr. Hansen is willing
to accept the nomination from the democrats.-
Dr. J. I. Perron of Council Bluffs la the
only avowed candidate for the nomination
of county superintendent of achoola, and

The semi-annual meeting of the board
of directors of the Council Bluffs Com
mercial club will be held Wednesday even
ing, at which time a new executive com
mittee will be elected, the members now
serving having been elected for a term
of six months. The executive committee
is comprised of the following: H. H. Van
Brunt, chairman; II. W. Binder, secre-
.. r.U. C. W; McDonald and
H. A. Qulnn.
At this meeting will also be brought up
the question of securing a commissioner
to succeed W. W. Loomis, who resigned
two months ago and since which time the
club haa been without one. As a matter
of economy it may be decided to have the
executive committee do the work mhlrh
would properly fall to the commissioner.
Such an expedient may be necessary as
the membership of the club has been
gradually decreasing. ,
The question of endorsing The Coundl

and assisting it to secure a franchise to
enter this city will also ba brought up at
the meeting Wednesday night.

DES MOINES, Aug. SO. Special.) When
the State fair managers had got through
with their work last night they were In
deed happy over the showing of results.
With four days of rain and the heaviest
rain that ever fell on a state fair, the
association or department cams out ahead
cf last year In the matter of cash re
ceipts and the exhibition made an Impres
sion on the people as the greatest thing
of the kind ever seen. "I have no hesi
tancy in saying." said W. W. Morrow of
Afton, the president of the association,
"that the exhibition we have Just given
was the greatest state agricultural fair
ever given in this country. We had the
best herds of horses and cattle and hogs
In the country, one of the finest fields of
racing animals, the largest oollectlon of
machinery and in all the other depart
ments there was not one place where it
could be said we had fallen down. All were
good and some of the departments were
unusually good." The receipts last year
were Ji3.41S. This year the receipts as
footed up last night showed SLOW more.

time the expenses were necessarily larger.
and with the premiums paid will amount
to about $5,000 more than last year. The
association spent about US, 000 the past
year In Improvements and repairs and has

It is planned io spend about $10,000 in Im
provements beginning at once and con
tinuing next year. A meeting of the ex
ecutive committee will be held the ISth
of next month to attend to details.
