The poll of the city which la now being
made under tha direction of
j j jjess. '
chairman of the republican city central
eoromitiee. shows that there are many new
voters. Although the poll of several pre
cincts is yet In an Incomplete state, suf
ficient figures hav been obtained to show
an Increase In the republican vote this
fall. The poll of the first precinct of the
Fourth wart la complete and that shows
a decided increase In republican votes.
Chairman Hess In speaking of the out
look yesterday said: "The canvassers now
making a pull of the city report a large
number of new voters In every precinct
and I ana glad, to be able to say that the
reports show an Increase in the nun
ber of republican voters. As the poll Is yet
Incomplete I cannot say which ward will
show the greatest Increase, but that it Is
general all over the eity la apparent. The
outlook for the entire county ticket to re
ceive a handrorae majority In the city is
most encounigjng,'and if the rest of the
county does as well as the city every can
didate from top to bottom of the repub
lican ticket will be elected. I never had
any misgiving from tha opening of th
campaign, but th reports now coming in
to rhe committee seem to assure another
;sweeplg' reDuhOcan victory this fall." :
County Chairman Wright is in receipt of
reports dully from all parts of the
county, and these show that the re
publican ticket is receiving unanimous
support everywhere. All. Mr. Wright sayi,
that Is necessary for a grand republican
victory la to get out the vote and every
effort will be mada to assure this being
done.
Apparently there Is little activity In the
democratic ranks and the meeting Thurs
day night at the opera huttse at which
Jerry Sullivan and Lew Genung spoke has
failed to enthuse the rank and Hie. The
democrats realise that It is forlorn hope
for any of their ticket, although they
are willing to sacrifice everyone else if
they can land Brooks Reed for treasurer.
Reed is making his campaign on the old.
well thrashed, moss grown Incident that
happened In the years gone by when be
was treasurer. He points to this, the in
cident of his attaching some engines of
the Union Pacific railroad to force the
payment of taxes as' the reason why th
voters, of Potlawattami county should
bow support him as against anyone e.se.
Mr. Reed fails to take into consideration
In revamping tins old worn out story
that any treasurer would have done the
same had the necessity arisen aa it did '
during Reed's teuure of the county treas
urers tup.
The fact that Mr. Reed has been a
perennial candidate for any old office In
the gift, of the voters of this county ha
led a larva number of democrats to think
that tha democratic ticket should not hav. .J of St. Paul's Episcopal

officials have just made a computation
showing the new mileage of the railroads of
Iowa the past two years, and tha esse us
ment thereon and the statement of the as
sessment for the two years. The total of
miieagrs in the (tat at the beginning: of the
year was ,33. and th assessment thereon,
at one-fourth the alleged actual valuation
of the property, amounted to tGC.t41.UX The
net Increase In mileage In the two years.
from January L lni, to January L W was
3S8 miles. There were Increases on a num
ber of lines and new b ranches and ten
miles of reduction of distances by reason
ot changes In tha right-of-way. The main
Increases were on the Omaha branch of tha
Great Western from Fort Dodge, the Mus
catine extension of the Milwaukee, th
Maple river branch of the Northwestern
and the new Iowa Falls line. Tha net as
sessment on the new mileage In the twe
years amounted to 1770,715. Deducting this
from the total assessment increase In the
two years leaves a total net Increase In ss-
sesament on mileage In existence in 1901 and
assessed at that time of S8.SM.SM. This in
crease from S47.tm.79S amounts to U1 per
cent, representing the per cent of Increase
In the assessment on railroad property
made by the present executive council In
two years. This Is a greater actual gain In
assessment than has been made In the state
in- nearly fifteen years previous, and a
greater per cent of Increase on the old
mileage than ever known before In a like
period.

The famous paper mill at Tama, owned

plying, water to th city under a contract.
The creditors have not agreed as to any of
the matters In dispute and no arrangement
has been effected for the reopening of the
mills. The creditors held a meeting- and an
effort was made to elect either Mr. Fergu
son or W. S. Gallagher. As they could not
agree the referee was allowed to select a
trustee, and he selected Mr. Ferguson.

BAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 18,-Dr. August
Greth. who for a year past has been un
ostentatiously working on an airship, to
day surprised the residents of Ban Fran
cisco by sailing over their heads for two
hours, directing his machine almost at
will and demonstrating that in many es
sentials he has solved the problem of
aeriaj navigation. He had previously tested
his airship by making ascensions with the
balloon held captive by a long rope, but
today waa tha flrst time he had gone sky
ward free.
The ascension was made from a lot al
most In the heart of the city, and Dr.
Greth attempted to encircle a towering
newspaper building about a mile eastward,
but found the high currents too strong for
his power, and then turned in an oppos'te
direction. The winds carried him ocean
ward, and for a time he hovered over the
vicinity of the Golden Gate, making va
rious successful trials of bis steering-gear.
The currents threatened to take him out
over the Pacific and he decided to make a
landing on the parade grounds of the
Presidio military reservation, but made the
mistake of letting out too much gas and
landed In the hay. about 200 feet from
shore.
The crew of the life-saving station- res
cued th aeronaut and his flying machine,
which was little damaged by- the unfortu
nate termination of the voyage. .
The balloon of Greth Is cigar-shaped
and has a capacity of iO.OM feet of gas.
with a lifting capacity of LSOO to 2.ono
pounds. The car la similar in construction
to that ud by Bantos-Dumont and weighs
about 800 pounds. The engine ia a twelve-
horse power gasoline motor and the total
weight carried skyward. Including that of
the Inventor and 600 pounds of ballast, was
about 1.M0 pounds. For some Inexplicable
reason the motor would not develop more
than six-horse power and the doctor found
considerable difficulty In making headway
against the air currents.
Ha expects to make another ascension
In a few days, when he will have repaired
the minor damage caused by the salt
water bath and repaired the minor de
fects brought about by his two hours'
cruise In cloudland.

In his sermon at the North Woodward
Congregational church H. L. Wlllett of the
University of Chicago and dean of the
Disciples of Christ publishing house, se
verely crlticrsert church members snd pro
fessing Christians for their Ignorance of
the bible. "Are our traditional teachings
true, or do they need repair?" he asked.
"Higher crlticlfm has attempted to answer
that question in the affirmative, but without
subtracting one lota from the value of the
grand and only book. It has, on the other
hand, added to its value and shown Its
supremacy.
"You feel guilty If you are asked if yon
have read some of the current authors and
you must confess apologetically that you
have not. Did It ever occur to you that you
have read nothing or such an Insignificant
part of the book which you profess by being
a Christian to be the light of your life and
the guide for your effort? If there are
untruths in the bible It Is pretty near time
that we should know them. The bible should
be submitted to literary criticism. But
fortunately It can stand the most minute
scrutiny.
"The difficulties caused by persecution or
perhaps ridicule were nothing to the ordeals
or higher or lower criticism. It has come
out without a blemish as the greatest of
all hooka, and yet you do not read It.
"In England, in Scotland, In all the
motherlands our forefathers read the bible
In their families. Those who do that in
this country are considered old fashioned.
I should tremble if a census was taken of
those who have read the bible beyond the
first books of Moses, in patches, and a few
things necessary to pass a grammar school
like examination. Those few pas&ages are
soon forgotten. Tet It la the book you
swear by."
