city. The report s accepted and Mr.
Harl. with the holders of the other three

this had been done Chairman C. B. Clovis
of tha credentials committee announced
that he had been handed another proxy,
given by J. H. Spaltl of Oakland, a mem
ber of the Pottawattamie county delega

Balloting la Monotonous.
Tha balloting was an exceedingly monot
onous proceeding, especially for the spec
tator. There was practically no change In
the vote from the first to the last ballot
with tho exception of the few votes which
strayed away from Cook, the Mills county
candidate.
At the close of the thirty-second ballot a
motion to take a recess for five minutes
prevailed, but when the balloting was re
sumed the vote stood tho tame as before.
From the thirty-first to the thirty-ninth
ballot, Inclusive, there was not the change
even of a single vote. On the forty-second
ballot Fremont county varied the monotony
by dividing Its eight votes, which had been
going to I'.eeson, between the Montgomery
county candidate and Rockafellow, the
Cass county candidate, but on the next
ballot gave its whole eight votes back to
Beeson. The Juggling of Its eight votes
by Fremont county was about the only
diversion. On the forty-fourth ballot the
supporters of Arthur thought victory was
coming their way when Audubon gave their
choice four of Its vote3, but the gain was
only temporary. On the fifty-fourth ballot
Fremont county cast Its eight votes for
Hon. John Y. Stone, the permanent chair
man of the gathering, and on the next
ballot gave them to Beeson again. On the
fifty-ninth ballot the Freaiont county votes
wandered off to Rockafellow and then on
the next ballot back to Beeson again.
When the sixty-third ballot had been an
nounced Aimer Stern of Harrison county
moved to adjourn to 9:30 Wednesday morn
ing, the vote on roll call being 67 for and
CI against adjournment. The counties voted
as follows: For adjournment: Harrison,
12; Mills. 10; Pottawattamie, 2S. and Shelby.
7. Against adjournment, Audubon, 8; Cast,
11; Fremont. 8; Montgomery, 11; Page, 10,

I'p to a late hour last night the situation
was said to be unchanged. The five can
didates were all standing pat, despite all
the lobbying of the leaders. Friends of
Arthur, the Harrison county candidate.
were quite optimistic and declared that
their candidate, would be nominated before
11 o'clock this morning. One of the leaders
from Harrison county said: "We have
enough first and second choices to name
our man when the proper time comes. It
may take some time, but Arthur will be
the nominee. The other counties cannot,
the way things are lined up, form a com
bination to defeat us."

TANGLE OYER CONGRESSMAN
III CUES SLATRI1 TO Jt t tEED nOSS
Democratic Members of School Board
Hrlnor Lined I p.
The annual meeting of the Board of Edu
cation will be held this evening as pro
vided by law. At this meeting the secre
tary of the board Is elected for the ensu
ing year. It was stated yesterday that the
demociatlc members of the board intended
voting for J. J. Hughes, chairman of the
democratic city central committee and
member of the state democratic central
committee from the Ninth district, for sec
retary as against Dillon I... Ross, the pres
ent Incumbent of tho position. As the
are four deniocratts to three republicans
on the board, they will be able, should they
combine forces, to elect their man. Mr.
Rosa has held the office tor several yeara
and until Hughes' name was mentioned
Was supposed to be sure of re-election.
Another matter to be attended to at the
annual meeting Is that of fixing the
amount of money necessary to be obtained
by tax levy for the support of the schools
during the ensuing year. Last year $S5.000
was levied for the teachers' fund and 135,
000 for the contingent fund with J2.000 for
free text books and 11,100 for transports
tion of pupils. This year It Is believed
about $3,000 will te needed for free text
books, as the supply Is becoming worn out
from constant usage.
George S. Davis, treasurer of the school
district, Is expected to present his annual
report tonight.

(From a 8taff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, la.. July 1,-PolltlclanS
and lawyers alike believe that it Is next
to Impossible to get the legal tangle regard
ing the republican nomination for congress
man In the Seventh district unraveled In
time for any name tn go onto the ballot.
Congressman J. A. T. Hull, chairman of
the military affairs committee of the
house, who Is seeking renomlnatlon and
election for a ninth term, and his oppon
ent. Judge S. F. Prouty. will thus have
to go on by petition, and there Is little
doubt but both will go on.
The tangle Is In relation to Dallas county.
One of the candidates for county auditor
there defeated the other for the nomina
tion by four votes. The defeated man filed
a petition for a recount. The law pro
vides that If there Is a recount on any
votes there must be a recount on all. Con
gressman Hull rested on his oars while
the recount was being made on auditor.
Ho and Judge Prouty . each had friends
present' to tally up the vote on congress
man and they found that Prouty will gain
about seventy-five or eighty votes on a
recount on congressman. This would be
enough to give him the nomination ,and
Congressman Hull then promptly asked for
an Injunction to stop any further count.
Judge Gamble granted the temporary in
junction and this will be heard on Septem
ber 2 at Adel by Judge Nichols. There
would be a bare possibility that this could
be appealed to the supreme court, which
meets September 22, and that the supreme
court could give a final decision by Octo
ber 19, the day on which the secretary of
state must certify the copy for the elec
tion ballots to the county auditors. But
there Is an equity action also started tn
Dallas county by a private citizen. This
cannot be tried at the September term and
there Is no possibility of Its going through
the courts In time. Unless this Is with
drawn the thing Is tied up hopelessly.
Furthermore, it endangers the whole
state ticket, for without the vote In Dallas
county the executive council cannot certify
the copy for the ballots for state officers
for any party. It Is beleved that a way
will be found to get the equity action
withdrawn.
Witness Indicted for Perjury.
William Marshall was Indicted today by
the grand Jury for perjury because of his
testimony In behalf of Lamonte Fred
ericks, the negro tried for an assault upon
Mrs. W. H. RlHser, a white woman. Mar
shall's testimony freed Fredericks.
Boy Not Held for Trial.
After an examination of witnesses in
the Juvenile court today, Judge Mcllenry
remanded Kenneth Reeves, the 10-year-
old boy who killed a playmate, to the
custody of his parents. The case will be
presented to the grand Jury tn the fall
but the court Intimated that there would
be no Indictment and said that all the evi
dence showed the whole affair was sim
ply a boys' fight accidentally resulting In
death. While he deplored the death he
felt that the evidence showed that tho
Jenkins boy struck first, and that tins
Reeves boy merely.' showed the spirit of
any American boy In striking back.

How It's Done
Mrs. Guest "How is it, Alice, your house is always so
spick, span and neat? This little impromptu lunch, for
instance, is delicious you certainly must have a jewel of a
maid; tell me the secret of your excellent housekeeping."
Mrs. Host Alice "My dear girl, there isn't any
secret about it and if I did tell you the reason you would
smile with bewilderment. You see, it's "all the result of my
watching, every morning, The Bee Want Ads."
Mrs. Guest "Now you have me curious go on."
Mrs. Host "Well, I always select my maids and cooks
from The Bee columns, and you know only the 'jewels' put
their wants there. Then, I never let any old furniture or
knickknacks accumulate; I watch the columns carefully to
see who wants what I have no further use for. The money
I realize this way I invest in new articles of more modern
types which give my home a tone of neatness and freshness.
It's simple when you know how."
Mrs. Guest found a moral do you?
PACKAGE RATES REDUCED
Railroads Will Restore Former Tariff
on This Class of
Freight.
CHICAGO, July 1. It was announced
here today that the railroads of the mid
dle west have decided to restore the old
rates on package ' freight, putting Into
force again the former minimum charges
for shipments of this character. The
movement means a saving of thousands of
dollars annually to the shippers of this
section.
The old minimum of 25 centB was In
force from Chicago to the Mississippi river
and St. Paul. West of there as far 'as
central Kansas the charge was 60 cents
and from that section to tho coast the
minimum was 75 cents. The change made
year ago, when these rates were abol
ished and the first-class rates were sub
stituted, brought Increases of from 50 to
300 per cent. The Increase, for instance, to
Oklahoma points was from 75 cents to $1.50
and to common Colorado points It was $2.50.
The roads found, however, that the dis
parity In rates caused by the various min
imum charges established by the state
commissions give Borne cities advantages
over neighboring distributing centers.
Milwaukee could ship to all Wisconsin
points on a minimum of 25 cents, whereas
it cost Chicago considerably more. Sim
ilarly Omaha had a better opening to many
markets of the middle west than other
towns within comparatively the same distance.
In addition, according to some of the
transportation experts, the new rates drove
a considerable amount of business to the
express companies, who wero not affocted
by the decision to raise the charges. The
old rates are to be restored within a few
weeks.
