Knote wrote to his old home in for his organ to be shipved here and yesterday received a new one in place of the one he sent for. It was a present from his brother, W. P. Knote. One young man, who was to serve as special policeman yesterday, took his whigky straight but couldn’t crrry it straight, and so the appointment was re- scinded before he had a chance to serve. Among those who limped up to the polls yesterday was Jim Anderson, who had hurt his knee by running against a hydrant, J. O. Bennett, the city livery man, who was kicked by a horse yester- day morning. The boys at the transfer, who vote in the city, came up in sections, one halt voting in the morning, the other half in the afternoon. The Omaha boys who work on this side went over in a body on the 3.30 dummy.

Some one sung out inviting the Lyman men to come down to the opera house and get their money taken, but as the latter did not move the Pusey men went into the corner and covered $180 of the $300 which Lymaw's men wanted to bet. No odds were given, At the opera house, which was opened as democratic headquarters, thero was a vast amount of cheering and shouting, but no spoeches by the prominent men, By Several Hundred. The Retarns Feom Oatside Thoso who were 8o loud in pre that Council Bluffs would be a scene of riot and bloodshed on election day should heartily be ashamed of thomselves, for they have given the city a black oye, and all for naught. Although political mat- ters run hot here yesterday, and there was a strong fight and much enthusiasm shown, vet the crowds at the polling places were orderly, and considering the intensity of feeling, and the neavy vote polled, there were very little disorder- liness indeed, and Council Bluffs put to icting chance for his recovery. He was thought to be dying yesterday. Many in the city will bo saddened at learning of the death of little Jakie, the son of J, T. Stewart, which ocourred at an early hour yesterday morning. He has been ill for some weeks, but was thought a day or two ago to be better, and hopes was entertained that he would recover, but he srew suddenly worse and death came. Little Jakie was about 11 years of age, and he and his little pony were famillar to the whole community. Probably no little fellow of his age was 80 widely known here as he, and he was a general favorite with all. His death is a terrible blow to the family, but many others will join in their sorrow that one 0 fair and promising should thus be taken. C— Order hard wood of P. Overton, e — L. 0.
