The political pie haa all been sliced and

the meeting of the city council last night
he announced the following appointments,
which complete the Hat: .
City Physlclsn Ir. Rav B. Tuhbs.
, City Electrician-Edward J. McKinley.
Street Commissioner T. F. Flood.
Poll Tax Collector George W. Thompson.
Ed McKinley, who succeeds James Brad
ley as city electrician, waa until recently
In the employ of the Nebraska Telephone
company as wire chief. T. F. Flood, the
new street commissioner, was until recently
a grain Inspector. George W. Thompson,
appointed poll tax collector, was the un
successful democratic candidate for coun
cil man-at-large.
The report of the Board of Fire- and
Police Commissioners. . embodying recom
mendations for a new engine house and
the purchase of a ladder truck and steamer
for the fire department, waa referred to the
committee of the whote. Commissioner
William Groneweg appeared before the
council and urged the council to act In the
matter of erecting a new central engine
house. The present building on Bryant
street, he said, was In a deplorable con
dition and liable to topple Into Indian creek
at any time. Mr. Groneweg called atten
tion to the fact that all of the expensive
equipment and paraphernalia, of the city's
fire-alarm system was contained In No.' t
engine house, and in the event of damage
ot the building the loss to the city would
be almost Irreparable. Mr. Gronegew sug
gested that If the city has not the funds.
ss he hsd been informed It had not, that
possibly the house could be built y the
plan adopted for the construction ' of the
fire house In the southern part of the city.
The matter, Mr. Groneweg contended, was
one that demanded the Immediate attention
of the council.
Wlckham Offers Ballal.
E. A. Wlckham, when Mr. Groneweg had
closed, took the floor and offered to advance
the city $15,000 or the amount needed for
the construction of the new engine
house on the same terms as the
engine house In the south , part of the
city was erected by residents of that sec
tion of the city. No action was taken on
Mr. Wickhams offer, but the whole matter
wlr be discussed In committee ot the whole
Thursdsy afternoon, at which time the
councllmeni will Inspect the present building.
A. C. Keller, president of the West Coun
cil Bluffs Improvement club, addressed the
council in behalf 6f the property owners
on Avenue A west of Twenty-sixth street,
relative to the establishment of the grade
on that thoroughfare. He asked that the
grade be established not only on Avenue A,
but also on Avenues B and C . He said the
property owners favored a grade not higher
than that of 3roadway. , Mr. Keller said
there waa no desire on the part of the
property owners to work any hardship on
the street railway company, which would
be obliged to lower Us tracks, but the
property owners believed they: had eoroe
rights in the matter. The present condition
or the avenue, which was practically im
passable, ha said, owing to the elevation
of the street car tracks, depreciated the
value of the abutting property. - After some
discussion, the matter was referred to the
committee of the whole, with the under
standing thai some action would be taken
without further delay.

Scores of nomination papers were filed
today with the secretary of state by candl
dates wishing their names on the primary
election ballot. The laat day for filing la
Thursday of this week. The socialist party
filed In one bunch all the nomination
papers for their entire list of candidates
for state offices and electore.
James H. Wilson of Adair county, prl
vate secretary to John Herrlott during two
sessions of the legislature and a prom
Inent politician, filed his papers for lieu
tenant governor on the republican ticket.
George, H. Clarke of Adel, who was
twice elected unanimously to the position
of speaker of the house without opposi
tion on- the part of the democrats, also
filed for lieutenant governor.
Congressman Connor of the Tenth dis
trict filed his papers as a candidate for re-
nomination. i
Lee of the Eleventh and Carter of the
Sixth, candidates for repubilcsn electors,
filed their nomination papers today.
Governor Cummins filed hla papers as a
candidate for the republican nomination as
United States senator to succeed Senator
William B. Allison.
Btandpat , Electors.
Something of a surprise was worked on
the progressive republicans by the an
nouncement of the standpatters of a com
plete list of standpat candidates as presi
dential electors. The progressives claim to
have waited till the last minute for candi
dates to come out. . They appeared In but
four congressional districts and when It
became apparent that there would not be
ccr.dldates In the other districts they
brought out candidates. The standpatters
criticise them, however, for bringing out
none but. progressive candidates. .Hence
the offices that a few days ago were going
begging, with Indications that there might
be vacancies on some places, are now In
the midst of the fight. The standpatters
have not filed their papers yet and the
progressives have filed in but two dis
tricts, the Eleventh and the Sixth. The
standpat list of electors Is as follows:
First Msrsh W. Bailey of Washington.
Second F. D. Lette of Davenport.
Third W. F. Ray of Allison.
Fourth D. H. Bowen of Waukon.
Sixth W. M. Reece of Oskaloosa.
Seventh W M. Black of Des Moines.
Eighth Alex Mardis of Corydon.
Ninth Almor Stern of Lcgan.
Tenth George W. Hanna of Algona.
Eleventh John Boeylnk of Orange City.
A peculiar and interesting feature of the
situation is that In every ccse ths standpat
candidate's name will appear first on the
primary ballot, giving the standpatter . an
advantage. Tho names will be placed on
the ballot alphabetically, and the stand
patters have selected' their candidates for
presidential electors, go that they will ap
pear first. J ,ti -h , i .

the amount being considerably Increased
during the day by some heavy receipts.
The amount will steadily Increase from this

till late In the year. There will be some
large appropriations due then, but not
such as to endanger the balance at all.

price of print paper has increased from JO
to B0 per cent, during the paat few months,
and
Wheress, It Is alleged and asserted that

msnlila. fibre and other kinds of paper and

per ton during the last few months; and.
nmaci MO TBriS,
Whereas, It is alleged that thia ereat ad.
vance in the price of paper la made possible

manufacturers: and,
- Whereas, It is state by the attorney ren-

plaint has been filed with said attorney
general against ths so-called paper com
bination -or. trust, the complainant refused

Whereaa, It Is alleged that the combina
tion of paper manufacturers In the United
States has purchased the output of all the
Saper mills in Canada, in excess of the
ome consumption, which said purchase, it
is alleged, is In furtherance or a conspiracy
in restraint of Interstate and foreign com
merce; and.

ter of the paper manufactured, or to regu
