I feel confident that the hcs.l "f the
ticket will he elected. Mont of the other
xiidlilatf on the ticket are SHtc. Mr.
Wallace will receive the support of many
democrats. The registration indicate a
heavy vote. 1 believe the democrats will
make their hardest fight In the First,
pseennd and Sixth wards. A. F. Hollis,
Chairman Republican City Central Com
mittee. 1 do not care to make a forecast. At
the same time 1 have the fullest confi
dence in the result of Monday's election.
Heyond this I do not care to m.ike any
further statement In advance of the elec
tion. J. J. Hughes. Chairman of Demo
cratic City Central Committee.
Yesterday was a busy one for bolh the
republican and democratic workers. All
day, from early morning until the reg
istrars closed their hooks at !) o'clock
last night, both sides worked hard to get
the voters registered. That they suc
ceeded waa evidenced by the heavy reg
istration in every precinct in the city. Al
though at a late hour last night only In
complete returns had been received at
the democratic and republican headquar
ters, It was evident that over 1.000 names
had been added to the lists yesterday. It
was estimated last night that during the
three days of registration about .',500
names had been listed. The registration
Is taken to Indicate a heavy vote.
In the First precinct of the 8lxth ward
2-5 registered yesterday, making a to
tal of 358 for the three days. In the Sec
ond precinct of the First ward 113 regis
tered and in the Second precinct of the
Second ward 125 registered.
Both Sldea Work Hard.
Both sides worked hard all day and every
hack and livery carriage In the city was
pressed into service to convey voters to
the registration booths.
As the situation now Is both sides are
confident of victory on Monday. Council
man Wallace and his friends say nothing
can prevent him being the next mayor,
while Councilman Maloncy and his support
ers assert with e.iual confidence that It
will be "Mayor Maaloney'' after April 1.
That party politics in this election will
be to a great extent eliminated is con
ceded by botli sides, and everything Indi
cates that there will he a great deal of,
scratching. It Is conceded that Mr. Ma
loncy will get quite a few republican votes,
and, on tho other hand, It Is expected that
Mr. Wallace will get some democratic
votes. That the water works question will
be quite an Important factor in Monday's
election Is generally conceded.'
The republicans are confident they will
elect their candidates for treasurer, aud
itor and solicitor, arid one, If not both,
candidates for coimcilman-at-large. The re
sult of the councllmanic elections is un
certain, although both parties are confi
dent of securing a majority In the next
city council. The democrats are confident
of electing their city treasurer and city, en

The executive committee of the Good
Roads association, organised last Mindav
st a meeting at the Commercial club rooms,
met yesterday morning and among other
business drafted a constitution snd set of
by-laws, which will be submitted at a ses
sion of the association to be held next
Saturday morning.
The committee also took up the question
of Improvement of the public thoroughfare
at "The Narrows." which has been a source
of much complaint. The county supervis
ors and the good roads committee of the
Commercial club, to which the matter waa
referred some time ago. have taken the
position that the road should be put in
proper condition by the Illinois Central rail
road. It Is claimed that when the Illinois
Central constructed Its line. It took a por
tion of the former highway, which waa In
excellent condition, and constructed In
stead the present road, which has become
almost Impassable.
The committee, after discussing the mat
ter at length, decided to confer with the
officials of the Illinois Central and ascer
tain If any assistance could be obtained in
that direction before proceeding further.
Present at th session were II. W. Binder,
chairman; Colonel W. F. Baker, Council
Bluffs; F. W. Beck. Lwis township; F. 8.

Rockford township; J. R. Lapworth, Crea-

FIRE J MOVING Flt'Tl'RR SHOW
Machine and Films Rained and
Operntor Severely Barned.
A crowd at the Scenic Moving Picture
theater on Pearl street opposite the
Grand hotel was treated to a realistic
fire scene last night In place of one on
the canvas which was intended. The
operator was about to put .on a series
of pictures depicting the run of a 'fire
department In response to an alarm,
when the film caught fire and exploded.
The people at once made a rush for the
exits, knocking over chairs and one an
other In their fear. All managed to
reach the street In safety, although sev
eral persons were more or less bruised
and several -were minus their closks, over
coats and hats.
The downtown streets were crowded at
the time and In a few seconds Pearl
street from First avenue almost to
Broadway was blocked with an excited
throng of people. The police had con
siderable trouble in keeping the people
back, as many were looking for children
or friends who had been In the theater.
The alarm goon brought the fire de
partment on the scene and the flames,
which were confined almost entirely to
the box occupied by the operator of the
moving picture machine, were quickly ex
tinguished. Kxcept for that caused by
water there was apparently little damage
to the building, which Is covered by In
surance. The Scenic theater was opened about
two weeks ago by William Maloncy of
Omaha and h is the heaviest loser, as it
was said that films of the value of 11,000
were destroyed and also two picture ma
chines. ' Mr. Maloney carried some Insur
ance, but whether sufficient to protect
his loss could not be ascertained last
night.
Jack Rousek, the operator of the mov
ing picture machine, was severely burned
about the hand, but otherwise escaped
Injury. Dale Hashberger, his assistant,
was also severely burned. Both men were
taken .to Mercy hospital.
The accident occurred at 9 o'clock and
the theater was packed to the doors with
a Saturday night crowd, while another
crowd was waiting outside In the vesti
bule for the next show.

Municipal officers over the state are in

nicipality making public Improvements.
The decision leave the contractor sus
pended In midair while the property own
ers who had not paid their assessments
or signed waivers of .Irregularities are per
mitted to enjoy sewer privileges without
paying their proportion of the cost. Thess
Include the owners of 36J lots In the 'city
or about one-fifth of the property In the
sewer district. The decision Is reversed,
evidently on two points, the firs't being the
fact that the records of the .council pro
ceedings did not show that the sewer reso
lution was adopted by an aye and nay
vote. Second, that the notice for bids
was not technically correct In specifying
the extent of the work and the kind of
material. The matter has been In the
courts for the last four years.

TWO GRADE CROSSINGS GO
One to Be Made an Overhead Affair
and the Other Abolished.
PAIB OF LARABEES FOR OFFICE
John aiaeYlcar Brings Salt for I.lbel
for Article Published on the Ere
f Dea Moines Municipal
Election.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DBS MOINES, March 29.-tSpeclal.)-Two
of the most dangerous railroad grade cross
ings in Pottawattamie county are to be
abolished and an overhead crossing put In
for one of them. The crossings are about
four miles from Neola on the Chicago
Great Western, and one person has been
killed as a result of their being there.
Furthermore, a new rond across the Uock
Island In section 20 of township 77, range
41. is to be made an overhead crossing.
These are the result ' of an order made
by the railroad commission today.
Tho first case Is on petition of the super
visors of Pottawattamie county. Four miles
from Neola there are two crossings over
the Great Western. Both' are grade cross
ings and are about a quarter of a mile
apart. One is where the railroad runs
through a cut, and the other where there
has been a fill. The railroad commission
has granted the petition of the supervisors
to make the west crossing an overhead
crossing on the condition that the super
visors vacate the road where the east
crossing Is. Since the crossings are so
close together, it Is thought there will bo
no hesitation on the part of the super
visors to do this. The crossings are dan
gerous because It Is impossible to see an
approaching train, and one person has been
killed as a result.
Over the Rock Island, where the new
read which the supervisors propose open
ing will be located, the railroad runs
through a cut which Is about twenty-five
feet high on one side and about ten feet
on the other. The commission visited the
site and there was an agreement between
the road and the supervisors that the
crossing ought to be over the tracks, and
the commission therefore made the order
today. Both of these roads are Important
and will be traveled a great deal.
l.arrabees. Are Candidates.
Fred Larrabec of Fort Dodge today filed
with Secretary of State Hayward his pri
mary nomination petition as senator from
the Calhoun-Webster district. It Is under
stood tlint Will Ijarrabee of Fayette county
will be a candidate as representative. Since
their father, William ljirrahee. was gov
ernor of Iowa the Iarrabce family has
been out of public office, though active In i
politics. With the next legislature there
seems likely to be two members of tho
family. - .
Establish A'evr Church.
Bishop Davis of Davenport, in charge of
thlse diocese of the Catholic church, has

and It Is understood that If the order
comes It will establish a school and a
boys' academy. There are five Culhollc

of the mines and machinery In case there
is a shutdown. The miners have offered
to continue at the bid scale till a new
scale Is agreed upon.
Capture Keokuk Forger.
Frank Morgan, who claims Crestnn as
his home and who worked forgery tricks
In Keokuk, has been captured through
the co-operation of the Des Moines and
