BRYANT STREET IS NOW CLOSED Comes at Inopportune Tim for Hor tlcaltaral Show, Closed Street Lend I ; to the Anal tartans. E. A. Wickham, who has the contract for the construction of the new concrete bridge over Indian creek at the foot of Bryant street and the arch and supporting, but ments for the new central fire ststlon which Is to be erected over the creek has commenced operations. The old bridge Is being taken down and Bryant street was yesterday closed to vehicle traffic and by this evening will probably be' iosed to pe destrians, j. "be-tUj has advertised for bids for the sale of the present fire station. The bids are to be In by noon of next Monday and will be opened at the meeting of the city council that night. It has not yet been decided what to do with the fire alarm equipment and No. I company and Its ap paratus while the new building Is being corstructed. At first it was suggested to divide the men and apparatus among the other four houses but the plan to move the present building Into ttie street Intersection where It could remain tintll the new house is completed, Is now favored. This, It Is suggested, would materially leasen the ex pense of twice moving the fire alarm sys tem. , Building- ait Inopportune Time. This construction of the new central fire station and bridge over Indian creek comes at an Inopportune time. Bryant street will be closed during the entire time of the Na tional Horticultural congree which Is to be held In the new auditorium building across the street from the new fire house. The old fire station planted In the street Inter section right in front of tho auditorium wilt not Improve appearances. Although the contract for the construc tion of the new fire station was awarded to George F. Hughes; on his bid which pro vides for payment by the city, by Install ments covering a period of twenty years, the contract has not as yet been submitted to the city council for Its approval. It is stated that Mr. Hughes Is securing advice from his attorney as to the right of tli city council to let ' a contract and Incur such a liability. In this manner WADDIJIGTOSI WILL. ROT CONTEST Will Abide by the Result of the Official Caavaas. H. A. Waddlngton, defeated1 republican candidate for county recorder will not con test the election of W. H. Barghausen. "If the official canvass shows that Mr. Barg hausen has more votes than I have, that will end the matter so far as I am con cerned," said Mr. Waddlngton yesterday. "Politics Is more or less a game of chance. I took the ohanoe and lost. I expect to see Mr. Barghausen take the office next January and feel sure he -will make a food recorder." - . . Mr. Waddlngton yesterday attributed hia defeat to overconfldence on the part of his friends. The Board of Supervisors will convene Monday for tho purpose of making the offi cial canvass of the returns. This la ex pected to result In some alterations In the majorities as figured from the returns on the outside of the envelopes, as these re turns were In a number of Instances ln complete and somewhat Indefinite. The canvass by the supervisors will be made from the recorda of the clerks of election made as the ballots were counted. The rocent election so far as the city precincts are concerned has demonstrated the need for either restoring the circle at the head of the ballot In order to facilitate the counting of the vote or the use of voting machines. It Is also contended that the delay In counting the vote In the larger precincts has ..demonstrated the need of dividing these precincts. The general opin ion seem to be that no precinct should con tain over 400 voters. There Is already some talk of making a new- division of the Fifth ward so as to reduce the else of the First preolnct, and also of dividing the First precinct of the Sixth ward In which close upon 900 votes were cast STATEMENT CAMPaTgN EXPENSES State Seaator Saanders the First to Make Heaort.

Reed, president of the Pottawattamie Bryan-Kern club; Justice 8. A. Greene and John Warner of Hancock. The statement shows that the committee expended 31.136.73 In Its effort to elect the county ticket and win over Pottawattamie county to the Bryan col umn.

Btuart. chairman of the republican judicial committee, will file a statement showing that his committee waa not Called upon to expend any money. E. R. Wood ruff of Qlenwood, who was elected judge of the district bench In this district on the republican ticket, had no opposition, there fore there was no need of expending any money. Snake la Baara of Bananas. While hanging up a bunch of bananas yesterday afternoon In the Central grocery store at the corner of Broadway and Sixth street L.

Scarr, a clerk In the First National bank of this city, to recover possession of a diamond ring which had been stolen from him some time last spring, to the effect that Scarr was entitled to possession of the ring. The ring Is the one which Robert Brown, a clerk In the Sargent Shoe store. was suspected of having stolen and later presented to a young woman to whom he was paying attention. Brown com mitted suicide when told he was sus pected of the theft, and the young woman turned the ring over to Major Richmond, chief of police.

CONTEST IN SIXTH DISTRICT Face of Retnrns Shows Keadall Is Elected ta Congress, bat Hamilton Wants to See the Votes Connted Again. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES. Ia., Nov. 7.-(Speclal.)-State officials and the chairmen of the state committees have given up hope of securing anything like exact figures on the election In Iowa prior to the official count by the county boards. In some cases the election officers were two days In finish ing the count and they failed to make re tarns In such 'a way that the results could be determined In advance of the official count In each county. The nearest ap proach to a finish is the computation by the chairman of the republican committee on about seventy-five of the counties and twenty-four yet to hear from, and this shows about as follows: For Tsft. 330.000; for Bryan, 175.000 For Carroll, 230,000; for White, 165.000. For Cummlna, about 60,000 majority. The latest compilation on the legisla ture gives the republicans eighty In the house and thirty-four In the senate; the democrats, twenty-eight In the house and sixteen In the senate. The republicans make a net gain of three on Joint ballot. There are still a few districts In doubt. In quite a number the vote was very close. The late news from the Sixth district Is to the effect that while N. E. Kendall Is elected on tho face of the returns, the pres ent congressman, Dan Hamilton, domocrat, contemplates demanding a recount of the votes. The tone of the press of the state Indi cates that while In a few places there Is a disposition to not accept the result of the primary on senator, yet In fact the major ity of the republicans believe that the re sult waa so overwhelming that it must be accepted and there will be an end to fac tionalism In the state. The republican state committee Is closing out Its office and will render an account, to the voters. The candidates are required to file statements of election expenses and these are now being prepared. . English Suffragettes Coming.
