LIGHT VOTE POLLED ALL OVER THE CITY President Dobbs States, When Result Known, that Active Operations Will Be Commenced at Early Dnte. The special election yesterday resulted In. ) the proposition to grant the Council Bluffs, Tabor & Southern Electric Hallway com pany a franchise to construct, maintain and operate an Interurban belt line and street railway for the transportation of passengers and freight, carried by a vote of 123 against. The vote by precincts follows: . For A-alnst First ward. First precinct 1W First ward. Serond precinct 17 Second ward, First prec.lnct 149 Second ward. Second precinct. ..125 Third ward, first precinct 145 Third ward. Second precinct 88 Fourth ward. First precinct in Fourth ward. Second precinct... 88 E rsi precinct. ,6, Fifth ward, Second precinct. i2 sixth ward, f irst precinct. no Sixth ward, Second precinct..... 8 Totals Majority ..1.475 ..1.352 No Material Opposition. As the figures show, the vote was light, and that there was no material opposition to the granting of the franchise In any of j the precincts. It had been expected that more or less opposition to fh proposed measure would develop In the Third ward, . . . , , . , where the residents and property owners were probably more affected than In any other portion of the city, hut, as the vote Bhows, It did not materialize to any great extent. This Is the second special election held In Council 111 tiffs since the law was passed re quiring that the granting of all franchises be submitted to tho vote of the people. In October, 19fl0, a special election was held, nt the franchise being granted, whereas the majority In favor of the franchise being granted the Tabor company yesterday was 1,352. President W. J. Dobbs and other officers of the Tabor line spent the day In the city and were at the city hall last night when the returns from the different precincts were brought In. President Dobbs and his friends expressed . themselves ss highly gratified at the handsome majority returned In favor of the granting of the franchise, although they had no doubt of the result when once approved by the city council. Mart- Work at Once.. President Dobbs stated last night after the result of the election was known that the company would at once proe -m-piete tne purchast Its right-of-way through the country, which he figured would take about two or three weeks. When the right-of-way Is purchased or contracted for the eastern men who will finance the line will take hold and start the work of construction. At Olenwood, Mr. Dobbs said, a commit tee of citizens was securing either by pur chase or gift a right-of-way for the com pany through that town, so anxious were the people to secure the road through their city. MOTOR COMPANY GAIJIS ONE POINT. First of Lake Maaawa Damage Cases Taken front Jury. The motor company yesterday scored a victory In the first of the series of suits against It for damages alleged to have been sustained by farmers In the vicinity of Luke Manawa from flooding of their crops, claimed to be due to the dams or dikes maintained by the company at the lake. Judge Thome 11, In the suit of E. M. Clark against the motor company, which has been on trial for several days, yester day morning sustained the motion of the defense to take the case from the Jury and ordered a verdict returned In favor of the motor company. . Clark sued for $400, but the principal question Involved In the suit was the right of the motor company to maintain the dams In the lake. An adverse decision. It was claimed by the motor company, would have resulted In It being practically com pelled to abandon the lake as a pleasure re sort. Immediately at the close of the Clark j suit the trial of the salt of Chris Emklt ugulnst themotor company was begun be fore the same Jury, as the case la sub stantially similar and much of the evidence in the Clark rase wilt be uBed In this suit. Emklt like Clark, sues for 14 0 damages, alleging that his crops were Injured to that extent by flooding: ' Lilly Swarlngen began sirlt for divorce from A. P. Swaiingen, to whom she was married at Pender, Neb., February 19. 1900.

Hai Almost Two to Oct in tha Frimtriet Eeld in Dm Moines. RESULT IS A SURPRISE TO EVERYONE Only One Ilonse of Legislature Session and That Transacts bnt a small Anieent of Ilnslness. In (From a Staff Correspondent.) DKS MOINES. Feu. 29 (Special.)-The republican primary election In Polk county for selection of a candidate for congress, was held today. It carries with it a cer tainty of nomination In the district con vention, ail attempts nt combining the cut side counties oKaltist the Polk county nom inee having failed. The forty-one dele gates which will bo selected flnully as the result of the balloting today, will be able, with what assistance can be secured from the outside, to dictate the nominee and the clertlon. The primary was reasonably quiet and orderly, only a few disturbances being reported, and they only Incident to the Intense excitement prevailing. Captain Hull carried primary election with an overwhelming majority and may have nearly 2 to 1 of the popular vote as opposed to Judge Trouty. Hull carried all the city save one or two precincts, and will have over 150 of the 240 delegates to the county convention. The result was a complete surprise, as It waa believed the contest would be close. On the opening of the polls at 7 o'clock this morning there was some trouble over the fact that a determined effort had been made to embarrass tho county committee and the Judges by inducing Judges to with draw and claim unfairness. The county committee hud selected two Judges favor able to Judge Prouty in every precinct and one favorable to Cnptulu Hull. In each case selecting the Hull Judge who had been approved by the Hull minority on the exe cutive committee When the list was made known this morning, It was seen that fairness had been secured In this work In all parts of the city and repre sentative men were on the delegations. Despite this there was some effort to cause trouble early nnd thus prejudice the voters. In one east side precinct a Judge refused to serve and a great crowd haVi gathered about the polling tilace and a demand was made that someone outside should name ! the Judge to fill the place. Tho executive committee closed the polls until a Judge was selected who was satisfactory. At another east side place W. T. Shaver, a well known local politician, demanded the right to serve as a Judge, repres-ntlng Hull Interests. He was refused and ctused ro much trouble that he was taken to the police station and warned. At another polling place a colored man tried to vote. It Is alleged. Illegally and when refused he drew a revolver and made threats. He was arrested without trouble. Some excite ment was caused by the exclusion of the vote of the larg number of students at tending colleges In the city. Aside from these Incidents there was little of Interest. The vote polled was -ery large and rep resentative citizens turned out in great numbers to see there was a fair election. All comment onaocqtHjj.-of the iorm of the ballot and the paper was silenced when the real work of balloting qommenced. Short LeKi4atvi 'Session. - . The senate was fiot.jn session today but a sufficient number of house members ap peared for a good business session In the afternoon. Resolutions were passed in honor of the late John F. Duncombe of Fort Dodge. With Speaker Pro Tem Cum mlng In the chair a committee consisting of English and Koontx was appointed to buy a chair and gavel for the speaker. Hart Introduced a bill to appropriate $500 for a monument to the Iowa soldiers who fell at the battle of White Stone Hills, N. D., In 1802; also a bill relating to time and place of bringing actions on official bonds. Shaffer Introduced a bill providing for ap pointment by the district Judges of trustees of cemetery funds. The house passed the bill by English to authorize the appointment of shorthand clerks for grand Juries In large counties, a bill affecting Polk, Scntt, Linn, Dubuque and Pottawattamie counties only. An appropriation of $2,000 for the Dubuque Rescue home was passed also same amount for Crittenden home In Sioux City. A bill by Weeks to define and punish "bootleggers" was passed. It places the Itinerant vendor' of Uquor on the same basis as a vendor In a fixed place. A bill to provide for re-recordlng Instru ments In case the cpunty recorder has made an error was passed. The Jepson bill to provide for licensing employment agencies was called up and passed. The house also passed Senator Saunders' bill to forbid the taking of liquor or opium or weapons Inside a penitentiary, and ad journed until tomorrow morning. Drainage LRllatloa Considered. What Is regarded by very many of the members of the Iowa legislature as the most ImiRirtant matter of general leg la in Hon contemplated this year the drainage and ditch legislation will probably come to a head within a week. A number of bills were Introduced bearing on the sub ject and a great variety of proposals have been considered. It was a realisation of the imjiortance of this probable legislation that Induced the presiding officers to nanus a number of the Lit men of the 'egislature on the agricultural committees. These com mittees have taken the various bills on drainage topics and have put a Joint sub committee at work sifting out all the good points and preparing a bill that will rep resent the best Judgment of the legislature. This siltbcommlttee haa taken the Hotgue LL QT o Allcock's Porous Plaster has' a fine aromatic odor because it's made of the choicest materials that can be had it cures because it's made of the right material. Just smell one, that s all you have to do to compare it with all other plasters. Your sense of smell will tell you which b best. POROUS PIASTER bill of the senate as a foundation, it pro vldes for a general system of drainage, for ditches running through townships and j countlea. If necessary, snd for creation of drainage districts to be taxed for pay of ; the ditches, and a method of timing these j drainage district declared and set off In j legal manner and commissioners appointed j to engineer the work, and for surveys and contracts and maintenance of the ditches. The greatest obstacles to be overcome are those of the constitution or the traditions of the courts, heaiee. good lawyers have been p'aoed on the subcommittees to con sider carefully the law point.. The sub committee has on the part of the senate Senators Hegue, Courtrlght, Bruce, Gllll Innd and others, while Representative Wrleht heads the delegation from the other side. The committee has had before It Prof. Ashhaugh and Prof. Stevenson of the state college; Judge Oliver, William MacFarlund and others of Monona county, and P. A. 8awyer of Sioux City, who la In the em p'oyment of the State Drainage association and will remain to present the views of the association on the subject. Tho sub committee Is taking the Hogue bill and considering It section by section and mak ing amendments thereto Its general pur port has all been preserved In the amend ments thus far suggested, and It Is believed by the members of the committee that when the bill Is brought out on the floor as- a subcommittee bill It will be ss near perfect as any such complicated and difficult piece of legislation can well be until after it has stood the test of experience to dwelop weaknesses. At any rate the members say they are giving it their best thought. Pay for Stolen Coins. A bill fathered by Mr. Wayland of Shelby county authorizes the Board of Trustees of the State Historical department to audit and pny a claim of H. W. Tntley of Shelby county, on account of the alleged loss of old coins from the State Historical department. Mr. Tatley had loaned to the Historical department a collection of coins and trinkets. About two years ago he visited the Historical department and claimed that some of the coins had been extracted from the collection and were lost. I'nfortunately there had been no In ventory of the collection, nnd It Immedi ately became a question whether there had been any loss after the collection came Into the possession of the state. There was an accusation that an employe of the depart ment, who was soon afterwards sent to the Inebriate hospital, had been responsi ble for the loss. The bill presented on be half of Tatley recites that the coins were stolen by an employe of the' state and sold; 0 Mr. Dealer of Cedar Rapids has Intro duced in the house and Mr. Hughes In the senate a bill to appropriate $50,000 for the purchase of Camp McClellan, near Daven port, In conjunction with the city of Daven port, nnd to create a state park there. In view of the historical associations of the place. The details are to be worked out by the state executive council. To Italse One Salary. It Is proposed In the legislature that the salary of the assistant attorney general of the state shall be Increased from $1,200 to $1,800 a year. Two years 6g the pay of all the deputies In the state offices was increased to $1,800, but the assistant attor ney general was not favored. The theory was that the assistant need devote but a part of his time to the work. As a matter of fact the assistant at that time was regularly engaged as a lecturer In a law school. He has since resigned and an other has been appointed who does devote his entire time to the work of the office, which appears to be Increasing rapidly.

An effort had been made to defeat him In his own county, but he gained control of the county com mittee and carried the day. The republican caucuses In Tlymouth county have been held and the result shows that Isaac Struhlem, former member of congress, will be selected ns that county's candidate for member of congress over J. U. Sammls, the 1'nlted States revenue col lector, a resident of Iemars. Mny Pny for Two Deaths. Tho coroner's Inquest on the statehuuse accident has not been completed owing to tho funeral of the two women who were killed. Tho Investigation has disclosed that tho fiult lay entirely with the elevator man who had been employed by the legis lature and that neither the state officers nor the Capitol commission were In any way responsible for tho selection of the man at the elevator. The machinery of the elevator was shown to be perfect. In view of this the members of the legislature Rre already considering the advisability of passing a bill to provide for payment to the families of the two women killed, so ceptlng the full responsibility nt the state for the damage done. It Is believed some thing of this kind will be done. w Bank Authorised. The state auditor today authorized the Iowa State bank at Mount Ayr to com mence business. The authority was wired to the new bankers so they could open the bank today and begin business at once. Judge Harvey Is the president and Fred Teale cashier of tho. bank, which has $:5,. 000 capital. It takes the place of the failed private bank of Jay Dunning, tho affairs of which are being wound up by trustees of the creditors.
