SOME REGISTRARS NOT OK DECK Xwaiber ( riMN Vkn On Ma ;ees Tkraifk Day Aloae Noae Ilea later at AU la ! ria The fit st day of registration for tb No vember elactlon waa a gloomy failure. On feature of the failure was the absence of votere to be registered. Another feature fm the abeenoa of the registrars them selves. In the various preelnota the il tuition at t o'clock last evening Indicated the least Interest ever taken In a. general election. In lorn of the preclnota no voters at all appeared for registration. In others half a doaen stragglers called during the day, and In all of the precincts the smallest number In the recent history of the city signalised the first day's work. Whether the first snowflakes of the see on ha4 anything to do with It or the lack of general knowledge of the fact that the work of registration bad been commenced was responsible for the lack of Interest, the fax remains that It greater Interest Is not aroused Id the two days remaining many voters In Counotl Bluffs will find some trouble In casting their votes on Novem ber a I a number of the preclnota some of the registrars did not show up, and City Clerk Caaady was sweeting blood for a while. In nearly haJf of the precinct at 10 o'clock only one registrar was on duty, and In number of them that condition prevailed all dy. The outtlog of the pay of the registrars from IV to I1T.M for the complete work Is declared to bar had considerable to do with the absence of the men appointed In the First preoinot of the Fourth ward A. H Clark, the republican registrar, was on duty all day without getting a chance to get away foe bis dinner or supper unless ha locked the offloe. The democratic mem bet', Charles Pasohel, went to the Paoifto northwest coast last week with the inten tion of remaining; several weeks, and the vaoaaof was not filled. Mr. Clark regis tered only five voters during the day. The work of the registrars this year la unusually heavy en aooount of the demand of the eounty for two sets of bcyfks.

The play Is a dramatisation of Meredith Nicholson's tfovel of the same title which for the last three years has been one of the "six best sellers." Not alone was the pluy successful In New Tork, but has had quite a long run at the derrick theater In Chicago.

A Proof of the Pudding The young man who "simply culdn't think f it" is the veiy one that we want to interest in our kind of Clothing Ready-to-wear. We'd like an opportunity to make him "think of it." If he'd try on one of our suits our victory would be won. In a word, if the man who thinks his tailor is the only tailor would put the matter to the test he would find that our tailor would be his tailor.

The exposition Is located In the Coliseum building, which has been permanently fitted up for the purpose, the exhibitors having permanent booths under the balconies and the main floor left free for the use of the visitors. This gives It more of a commercial caat and robs It of many of the pretty show features that made the first attempt of the Council Hluffs association so successful.

Gilkison were arraigned in police court yesterday morning charged with obtaining money under false pretenses In connection with soliciting advertising for the Jennie Ed mundson hospital. Both entered an em phatic denial that they had made any mis representations, but declared that they had been given ample authority for doing what they had done. They asked to have their hearing continued until Monday morning, and they were permitted to go on their own recognizance until that time. The Ollklsons claim that they were en gaged In soliciting for advertisements to be placed on the annual supply of station ery to be used at the hospital and not for an annual publication to be Issued by the hospital association, and that to do this they had received ' permission from Miss Stelnuaugh, the superintendent. The police department was yesterday morning placed In possession of another check drawn In favor of the hospital by J. Simon and which was cashed at the Merchants' National bank, Omaha, en dorsed, "Jennie Edmundson hospital, per hi I. Pratt, superintendent."
