Hai Decided Plurality for Republican
Nomination for Mayor.
KWBAT.L FOE CITY ATTORNEY
It. J. Orsma the) Democratic Nominee
for That Office Csstms of
Vote for Council men
Incomplete.
Councilman Robert B. Wallace received
the republican nomination for mayor at
the primary yesterday by a plurality of 3M
over hia nearest competitor, Thomas Green,
Councilman Maloney had no opposition for
the democratic nomination.
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.
The csnvass of tho vote was a tedious
matter and returns were Inoompleto at an
early hour, but tho following ward council
men were nominated:
First Ward Republican, Carl Morgan;
democrat, Charles Walter.
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."

by a druggist named Davis one day lpst
week, when Miller had been caJled to the
house to take care of Mrs. Davis after she
had been shot. Is reported as recovering;

retarded as sure to die, but the last two
days ha shown such marked Improvement
that he may recover. Davis Is still In jail
and Insists he was not drunk when he shot
his wife and later shot the doctor who wa
called to care for her. No real explanation
of the tragedy has been made.
The court has ordered the sale on March

In bulk and It Is expected that there will
be a reorganisation of the company to the

are low In all banks. The general condi
tion of banks In the stats Is excellent,
showing almost a complote recovery from
the past flurry.
Attorneys representing the street car

LIMA, Peru. Feb. 26. Ten thousand spec

ficers and men of the American fleet, wit
nessed a thrilling bull fight yesterday.
President Pardo and his staff occupied the
royal box and the adjoining boxes were
filled with the higher officer of the visit

ly represented and the spectacle from start
to flnlfh was one not soon to be forgotten,
especially by those who had never wit
nessed such a scene.
The dangers of bull fighting wore graph
ically Illustrated, for the first bull In the
ling tosted the chief matador and disabled
him from further work. The fifth bull
gored the throat of the second matador and
he was carried bleeding to his quarters. It
Is not likely that he csn survive.
The spectacle of officers In uniform1,
ladies In gorgeous gowns and picture hats,
as though attired for some afternoon recep
tion, and thousands of sailors gathered
around the ring, was a brilliant one, and
during the fighting with the bulls the en
thusiasm waa unbounded. The bands
played "Hall Columbia." and '"rtie Btar
Spangled Banner," during which all stood

president of Peru, when tle bauds played
the Peruvian notional anthem. Although
there waa great excitement at times, every
thing went off In perfect order. At the

covered the sky and the rain began to
fall.
