Clem F. Kimball won out on tho repub lican ticket for city attorney over George H. Scott, ana R. J. Organ had a largo ma jority for tho democratio nomination for tho samo office.

Second Ward Republican, C. A. Tlbblta; democrat, Chris Jensen. . Third Ward Republican, W. F. Rlgdon; democrat, J. P. Tlnley. Fourth Ward Returns Incomplete Fifth Ward Republican, J. I.. Ellsworth; democrat, James McMlllen. Sixth Ward Republican, Walter Hendrlx. Vote la Llcht. The first primary eleotlon to be held In Council Bluff wa pulled off yesterday without any excitement, although considerable-Interest was evidently manifested in the contest for the republican nomination for mayor. In some of tho wards the con test over the counclfmen nomnlations tended to liven up mattera some, but tak ing It as a whole the primary wa a quiet one and the vote was light compared with a regular municipal election. During the morning the voting was ex ceedingly slow and In several of the pre cincts only 100 votes had been cast by 3 o'clock. The democratic Vote was espe cially light all day, and this was due, It is supposed, to the fact that there were no contests except for city solicitor, and that did not attract much Interest among the members of the party. Reports from several of the precincts showed that a number of. known democrats asked for republican ballots and voted that ticket, with the object. It Is sup posed, of taking a hand In the mayoralty contest. The judges claimed they had no right to refuse any man the ballot he asked for. That the primary election law was some thing quite unfamiliar to many of the voters was apparent at practically all of the precincts. In some Instances men, after giving their names to the judges and clerks and being asked whether they da slred a democratic or .republican ba'.lo'. J appeared unwilling to declare themselves and left the booth without voting. In one of the precincts In the Fifth ward a voter, after coming out of the voting closet, walked over to the stove and thrust his ballot In It. Carriages and other vehicles to carry, voters to and from the polls were con spicuous by their absence, as were th "workers" In front of the polling places. The polls did not close until 8 o'.clock and It was 9 o'clock In most of the pre cincts before the judges and clerks hai the republican and democratio votes sep arated and the count on the mayoralty candidates begun. The result of the coun cllmanlc contests In most , of the wards will not be known until some time this ! morning. The city council will meet In special ses sion this afternoon at 2 o'clock to can vass the vote. Salt on Stock Subscription. Suit woe begun In the United State court in this city yesterday by J. E. Broussard of Beaumont, Tex., against Frank De Klots of Klrkam, la., to recover the price of stock In a company which Is now In solvent. In the petition It Is recited that the Jef ferson County Rice company waa organ ized In Texaa May 14, 1900, with a capital atock of S186.C03, divided Into 1,850 shares of fieo each. DeKlotx, It is alleged, sub scribed for 00 shares on which he paid 10 per cent down and agreed to pay the bal ance In eight equal Installments beginning June 2, 1900. The corporation became In solvent and a receiver was appointed. De Klota, It Is alleged, refused, to pay the balance due on the atock he had purchaaed and the claim against him was assigned to B. C. Hcbert and J. Es Broussard. Mr. Hobert subsequently assigned his Interest I In the claim against DeKlotx to Broussard, who now brlnga suit. Brick Rates Declared T'nfalr. The attention of Secretary Tteed of the Commercial club was called yesterday to tho commodity rate on brick within the state of Iowa, which Is declared to be un just. The rate from Clinton to Council Bluffs, It was pointed out to Mr. Reed, Is 3 a thousand higher than the rate from Clinton to Omaha. The rate from 8argent'a Bluffs to Council Bluffs, It was stated, 1 30 cents higher than the rate from th aame town to Omaha. Speaking about the complaint made to him, Mr. Reed aald: "I do not know whether the State Railroad commission takes Into consideration the rates fixed by the Inter state Commerce commission, but I think It should do so, at least sufficiently to pre vent unjust discrimination against this city. I fall to aee why rates should be higher to Council, Bluffs than to Omaha. Mr. Reed stated that he would Investigate the complaint and call th attention of th transportation committee to It."
