While the atorm Tuesday evening did
comparatively little damage in the city,
the country In the vicinity of Council
Bluffs suffered considerably from the
downpour of rain and hall. Fruit growers
report great damage from the hall, espe
cially to the grape vines. The fruit
forming on the vines waa practically all
destroyed and the fruit men say their
only hope Is that the secondary buda may
produce a fair yield.
Ttie country east of the city In the
vicinity of Mosquito creek waa reported
yesterday to be all under water, owing
to the creek having left Its, banks. The
loss in this section. It la figured, will be
extremely heavy.
Although nothing definite could be
learned yesterday owing to the telepbono
lines being out of business, It was re
ported the storm had wrought damage, to
the extent of nearly $10,000 at Ben
Marks' farm south of Lake Manawa. Two
buildings recently erected - are said to
have been demolished by the triiflo wind
and It waa reported that a number of
cattle and horse had been killed. Mr.
Marks' place was In the direct line of the
tornado after It crossed the rlyer and
ewpet towards Island park andY HInton

Italian laborers at Island park were
swept from the track, but the men saw
the storm coming and escaped from the
cars In time.

out on Its main line near the old Chau
tauqua grounds and trains had to be sent
over the tracks of the Northwestern.
The Wabash and Great Western also suf
fered washouts. ,
The damage In the city waa compara
tively small and consisted mainly of washed
out paving and sidewalks. The newly
laid concrete sidewalk In front of the
high schopl was washed out and on sev
eral of the hill . streets, Including Park
avenue, more or less brick paving was
washed out.
On South Main street the water which
poured down from the hill streets left a
deposit of mud several inches thick over
the sidewalks and In the gutters along
side of the curbs It was about a foot deep.
Broadway suffered but little. There was
no deposit of mud In the vicinity of the
Northwestern and Illinois Central tracks,
which Is something unusual after such a
storm. '
The report that the new concrete bridge
over Indian creek at Frank street had
been damaged was found yesterday to be
without foundation. No material damage
was done to the structure Itself, the only
damage being a washout at., the ap
proaches. Both, the Nebraska . and Independent
Telephone companies reported a number
of 'phones out of commission and both
companies had large gangs of linemen at

111 Tuesday, was unable to resume his place
In court yesterday and the trial of the
ouster action against H. V. Battey, clerk of
the district court, is now being held with
only eleven Jurors In the box. There was a
delay of almoat two houre In getting the
trial under .way yesterday morning owing
to the absence of Richard O'Connell, an
other member of the Jury. Mr. O'Connell,
when the court adjourned Tuesday morning
on account of the Illness of Juror Quick,
went to his home at Underwood, expecting
to be able to return In time for the opening
of the court. A washout caused by the
heavy rain of Tuesday night, however, de
layed his train.
Better progress was made yeaterday, how
ever, than had been expected. The cross
examination of C. J. Rlchman, tha expert
accountant, was completed during the after
noon, but It Is likely Mr. Rlchman may be
recalled before the end of the case. Follow
ing Mr. Rlchman, Tracy Rodwell, a deputy
under Mr. . Battey, was placed on the
stand and examined as to the entries over
which there Is a controversy being In the

(From a Btaff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, la.. May 14.-(Speelal.)-Prlmary
election day Is Just three weeks
distant and both the Allison and the Cum
mins forces are claiming a victory. The
Allison forces, which are closely linked
with the standpat political forces of the
state, claim thst the silence of many voters
In the state presages good things for Alli
son and the standpaf state ticket. They
claim that many progressives will vote for
Allison and that the attacks on Allison's
political record are reacting in favor of
Allison. They claim that Allison has been
lauded by all persons of all factions In
Iowa for many years and that It Is too late
In the day now to begin to criticise his
official acts or charge him with Intimate
connection with the Credit Moblller scandal,
and that the veteran senator, with more
than forty years in congress to his credit.
Is, too greatly beloved by the people of Iowa
for such crltl lam to have any further effeot
than that of a boomerang. The Allison
forces furthermore are claiming a victory
for Allison based on a township poll of the
state, which they have made, though there
is some conflict of testimony ae to Just how
the poll came out.
Claims of Cnmralns Mca.
On the other hand the Cummins progres
sive forces are claiming a victory for the
governor and the progressive ticket based
on many different Indications. In the first
place the northern pert of the state they
claim Is solidly for Governor Cummins and
that In many of the northern counties
Governor Cummins will get almost all the
vote. There Is reason In the claim, because
Governor Cummins has always been con
ceded to be strong In the northern part of
the state. On the other hsnd the Cummins
people claim they will carry most of the
large cities In the southern part of the
state, the famous Reservation. There Is rea
son for this, too, because In the old caucus
and convention days they carried the cities,
even Burlington, but lost the counties be
cause they failed to carry the country dis
tricts In ' the southern part of the state.
Under the primary system things ara differ
ent, say the Cummins people. They point
out the fact that In southern Iowa the
farmers In the country districts are not
organized and have voted aa led by their
leaders. They will be busy on their farms
and will not come out. In the northern part
of the state the farmers are organized. The
Corn Belt Meat Producers' association, one
of the strongest organizations in the west.
has most of Its members In the northern
part of the state. The farmers there are
live to the issues and will vote on primary
day as their fellow republicans In the cities
both north and south will do.
Change In Last Few Weeks.
The Cummins forces are also claiming
that the correspondence Inquiries over the
state are In their favor. Three weeks ago
the Cummins headquarters in Des Moines
were not so hopeful. Cummins followers
were saying that something must be done
to "get the people awake." They feared
that thitigs were . being allowed to drift,
There Is decidedly a more hopeful sign
about their headquarters now. A score of
speakers have been put Into the field. Gov
ernor Cummins will have made by the end
of the campaign .fully 100 speeches In the
state this campaign.
The Allison forces up to recently had had
but one address, and that by Senator Doll!
ver at Council Bluffs early In the cam'
paign, really, before the campaign had In
tact openea. i nen ne returned a week or
two ago and made speeches at Des Moines,
Mason City, Clinton and Ottumwa. This
week speeches are being made by Lafe
Young of Des Moines, Major Lacey of
Oskaloosa, Congressman Birdsall and Mr.
Torbett of Dubuque. They are all being
made In the southern part of the atate, In
the standpat territory, the Reservation
The northern part of the state, which Is
Governor Cummins' stronghold and on
which he largely depends, is as yet undn
vaded, except for a speech by Dolllver at
Mawn City and another at Clinton and
few scattering speeches by Torbett and
persons of lesser note.
Politicians Ask Questions.
Interest in the outcome of the campaign
Is especially acute on the part of politi
cians. Every claim on the part of a Cum
mins man that Governor Cummins will be
elected ' met by thfl Allison men with the
Inquiry: "How do you know there are
more progressives than standpatters in
Iowa?" Of course no one does know.
There has never been a primary vote be
tween the progressives and standpatters of
the republican party of Iowa. There have
been contests, but they have always been
by the caucus and convention system, and
everyone knows that one candidate for
president of the United Btates some times
gets the plurality f the - popular vote,
while another candidate Is elected because
he has the most delegates in the electoral
college. In the same way, one candidate
can get the majority of the delegates to
a state convention, while a majority of the
people of the party might favor another.
It is this act , that there haa never
been a primary vote between the pro
gresslves and standpatters In Iowa that
Is causing politicians of all sides anxiety
and Interest in the outcome of the cam
palgn in Iowa this year, for while Alii
son's friends are claiming that they wli
elect him wtth progressive votes thero,
there is no denying that all the standpat
votes will be for Allison, because tn the
very nature of things tney are opposed
to Governor Cummins.
Estimate oa Fralf.
Wesley Greene, state horticulturist, to
day gave out the first estimates of thi
year's fruit crop, based on careful reports
from all aectlons of the state. The report
of the condition of the fruit for this year
at this time In comparison with the crop
of last year Is as follows:
19W. 1307.
Apples 60 (16
Pears 44 44
American plums 47 64
European plums 27 16
Japan plums M 13
merries w y
Reaches 33
Grapea M 60
Red Raspberrlea 67 60
Black Raspberries Si 3
Hlackberrlea , to
Currsnts 70 73
Gooseberries 63 HH
Strawberries 73 71
Last year's crop was badly injured by the
frosts and especially by the sleet which
came early in the spring, but there was still
a crop left and Mr. Greene. Is confident
that with favorable conditions there will be
a considerable of a crop of fruit this year.
Now Method la Cae.
The campaign being conducted In Iowa
at thla time la vastly different from any
party campaign that haa ever been con
ducted. both sides are forced to use
different methods. This Is a cainpalg
of education: a campaign of speeches aud
literature and arguments. Hareolore the
party campaigns have been to get dele
gates to the state convention. A county
wss Invsded by a delegation of politicians
from both sides and the lines drawn. It
waa a srramble to see who could get
control of the township caucus and elect
the delegates to the county convention.
This year the election Judges aro se
lected by the county authorities. There Is
a law against primary election frauds,
and on the same day everywhere in the
state all political parties will register
their choice by prlmsry vote. In the
nature of things it must be a campaign
of education entirely. This Is the ele
ment of uncertainty In the campaign.
AIlloaa Friends Ulnar,
The announcement that Governor A. B.
Cummins Is to speak In Council Bluffs,
Tuesday, May 28, has aroused the friend
and supporters of Senator Allison to ac
tion. The executive committee of the
Pottawattamie County Allison club Is to
get busy this week and make arrange
ments for tha final work of the campaign.
While the club has not been Idle by any
means, there has been no public meeting
Ince last November, when Senator Dolllver
opened the senatorial campaign In this
city. As Senator Dolliver'a services art
needed In other parts of the stste between
this and the primary election on June 2,
no effort will be made to secure him to
peek In this district. '
An Allison meeting Is to be arranged for
Oakland some time during the next two
weeks, at which Charles M. Harl, presi
dent of the Pottawattamie County Allison
club, will be one of the speakers. It Is
likely that an effort will be made to se
cure Major John F. Lacey for a speech
i the Oakland meeting.
There Is talk of holding another public
Allison meeting tn this city before the date
of the primary election. Many of Senator
Allison's friends are anxious to have Con
gressman Birdsall come, to Council Bluffs
for a speech as a fitting close to the cam
paign, and it Is likely the executive com
mittee will make an effort to secure him.
Meetings under the auspices of the Alli
son club wilt also. It Is expected, be ar
ranged for Avoca and Carsom
