Today will tell the story, and in all proba- y Tie Ber will be able to present to its readers tomorrow morning the names of the successful aspirants for city office, and an acourate report of the majorities, although there will be a large vote polled, and it is certain thav there will be w great deal ot scratching, which will delay the counting and make it very late before the returns are ail in, The fight at the polls will be one of the most bittorly contestea ever held in the city. It will not be a party fight, but rather one of the citizens aga‘nst ring rule. Boodle, whisky and intimidation will be the means used by the ring to secure the success of the so-called democratic ticket, and it 18 against these that the battle must be waged. Yesterday was the last day of grace, and tho political workers were busy eyery hour of it and until an early hour this morning. The nominess on the democratic ticket wero out in full force, and the manner n which they buttonholed evsry voter who passed was an evidence of the uncasiness folt by them. They nare leaving no stone unturned that could possibly assist them in any man- ner. So desperate is the situation that they are not working for the ticket as a whole, but it is every man for hunself, and they are offering to sacrifice each other i a way piti- ful to benold. There is uot the slightest doubt but that there will be more trading at the polls than ever before seen here on a similar occusion. None understand the situ- ation better than the democratic nominees, and they are far from fecling as clated s is customary in this democratic city. ‘Ihe outlook for the success of the citizen's ticket grows brighter every hour, and it is certain that a part, if not the whole of it, will be elected. Almost without an excep- tion it has the support of the better element of democracy, and there is hardly a business man of either party to be found who is not working for its success, Its election depends on a fight between the representative men and property interests of the city against the floating and purchasable vote, In tho First ward the principal fight will be for ward alderman and the reputlican nominee, L. A. Caspar, has such a following that his friends are confident of his election. E. T. Watermau wus announced as an independent candidate for re-election, but he went to Mr. Caspar yesterday, and offered to withdraw from the race in favor of Mr. Caspar, provided the latter gentle- man was opposed to the gag rule of the Walters outfit in the First ward and would work against the reappointment of C. D. Walters as chief of the fire department. Mr. Caspar stated that he did not intend to make any pledges, but that his opposition to Wal- ters was a matter of public knowledge and that he was opposed to ring rule first, last and all the tune. That settled the matter. and Mr. Water- man is now out of the tight. The coutest is between Mr. Caspar and Mr. Jennings. ‘The latter will not poll the regular demo- cratic vote of the ward, owing to his decided prohibition ideas and because 1t is generally understood that he is pledzeda to support Walters, In the Fifth ward Bland Rishton has with- drawn as the independent candidate und 15 working hard for the success of Peter Smith, the republican nominee. The Globe stated that he was too good a democrat to bolt his party ticket and had announced that he was not an dependent candidate, but the party organ stopped right there aud did not state that he had withdrawn in favor of the re- publican nominee. Con Fitzpatrick, the nominee of the democratic caucus, admits that he is 8 weak man_and states . also that he can not understand the strong opposition that has developed against him, In the Sixth the chances of electing A. C. Harding as ward alderman are most flatter- ing. A leading democrat said yesterday that the independent candidate, O. P. Whip ple, would receive as many democratic a republican’ votes and his candidacy will, therefore, have little effect on the real fight between Harding and Mikesell, ‘The democratssentover §200finto tins ward yesterday afternoon, but there will be grief ior whoever attempts to bribo voters at tne polls today, and the probabilities are that those who hold 1t will have an opportunity t0 take it home and spend it on their families: Che Mabattan is the stronghold of the Maloneyites, and the place was filled yes- terday with all the ward heelers and bum- mers that could be collected. Whisky und beer were the principal arguments used, and they flowed like water. The air wus not at all congenial o the respectable element that is sometimes found at the place, and the proprictors devoted themselves to_**priming”’ the ward workers for their duties today. Democrats who bave always voted the par'y ticket state openly that they will not support it today, not alone becanse of the character of some of the nominces, but be- cause they declure that it was not fairly nominated. ‘Phey charge thut the caucuses 10 the Second and Fifth waris were packed, and the combine was at the bottom of the whole thing. The caucus at the Ogden house on the evening before the convention is re- ferred to in a manner that clearly demon- strates how the delegates foel who were left out in the cold and virtually had notbiug to say 1 the nomiaation of the party ticket. Maloney will run against a rock in the Third ward beeause of the attempt to pack the caucus in that ward against O'Connor, and the friends of thelatter have vowed to play even at the polls, Another thiog that 18 cauding trouble was the rutitication meeting at the opera lhouse Saturday evening. It was simply a boom edition for some of the nominees, and the fact that it was run altogether in 'the inter- ests of James, Aylesworth and Holmes has caused the ovher candidates to sour on them, and they say this action settled it with them, and they will work for their own in- terests aloue and will trade the other with- out compunction whenever the opportunity offers. An unusual source of strength will be the Scandinavian vote. which numbers 433 in the city. ‘They were out working yesterduy for the success of tho citizens' ticket and huve appointed committees to work in all the wards toduy, They say. that they will vote the ticket 10a wan,and want to see the color of the democrat's bair who can buy one of their votes, notwithstanding the assertion of a democratic leader that he would buy every one of their votes at §2 a piece. Another class of citizens who favor the citizens' ticket are the Germans, and they will make themselves felt at the polls as nover before. -— The Council Bluffs lnsurance companys' @verage nunual income since organization i been $120,000.00, Dishursements since organiza.on for losses and othor ex- penditures now exceeds $1,000,000.00.

Baby’s warbrobe is often a matter of interest. It is curious thatin England infants rarely, if ever, wear caps, while abroad they mostly do, and pretty, dainty ones, oo, composed of fine work and lace insertion, and closely-pleated lace with bows and narrow ribbons in front, next the face, suys a London let- ter to Cassell’s Family Magazine., An old fashion has been revived, of long veils made of net edged with lace, which almost reach to the hem of the cloak, and they throw back easily, being of such soft compressible net. Itobes and cloaks do not differ much as years roll by. Corded silk is often now employed for the clonks, wh wadded, and lined with a thinner make of silk. but the capes are much deeper, and often bordered with thick embroid- ery upon muslin, and then appliqued on to the silk with a full trill of lace at the edge. A good method of trimming cots and babies’ buskets is toarrange so that the coverings are_all slipped on to- gether, and then they can easily be tied an. For the cot, the curtains are quilted beneath a eivcle of material, and under this they are secured to the uprights; all the restof the covering consists of a wide lace-edged flounce for the outgide, and some wadded stuff for inside—all in one, and tied onin a minute.

He is rep- resented as a cowardly, thievish, unin- telligent bird, and any number of other fowls of the air are put_forward as can- didates for the proud position of the nation’s bird.

A few days luter we noticed an eagle’s nest pevched up the Ylulf across the river and the following Sunday two of our men swam the stream during the absence of the old birds and brought back two vigorous eaglets with them. \ “We hurriedly patched upa pen of pine slabs for the eaptives, making it about seven feet square and leaving lots of space between the slabs on the top and sides, so that we could have a good look at the squalling bunches of feathers. The parent birds came back about noon, and when they found their little ones gone they kicked up a fright- ful row and flew aboutin search of them asf they were distracted. When they finally discovered where the eaglets were they circled around in the air | over tho pen, keeping out of reach of our rilles, and shrieked advice to their chicks about keeping up their spunk and making themseives comfortable as plainly as human boings could. ““Then the old birds flew away and came back after u litule with two big fish in their talons. They ed and circled around over the pen, and finally let the fish drop straight as a die right between the slabs in the roof. They kept up this performance every aay for a fortnight, and never in all that time did they miss hitting the pen with the fish they dropped. Their parental af- fection and intelligerce g0 wotked on us that we puy the eagles back on the other side of the river again, and I tell you it was really affecting tosec the way those two old birds hung around and caressed their offspring. They scemed to understand after that that we were friendly to them, and during the rest of the time we were there they flew all about the camp and had no hes- itetion in coming down to pick up the scraps of meat and fish that we would throw to them. 1 ecan't say that they shed tears over our departure. but T will warrant that they felt the pangs of sepuration us keenly as we did.” s e Shuken Ot of Genr, By walarial disease the human machinery cannot half perform its office, Digostion, secretion, evacuation are disordered, thé blood becomes watery, the nerves focble, the countenance ghastly, sleep disturbed and appetite capricious.

An Enegtish Writer on the Worship of Financial Reservoirs. We shall be told that the majority of men in all countries seek for money,und that it is only the gigantic s 3 on which everything is conducted in the new world which makes their million- aives in any way rémarkable. It is not s0. Not oily do we not specially decry American millionaires, but we think their quality of mam- moths the most redeeming fea- ture 1n the worship paid them. Money in those huge aggregates has in it such potentialities, is so entirely be- youd what any man can spend upon seif-indnlgence, that we can understand that the desire for it is often another form of the vague desire for power which siirs the hearts not only of the ambitious, but of the philanthropic. It i8 not-the millionuire, but the million- aire as the popular idcal, who arouses our apprehensions. Men desive money 1 Burope, and sometimes, when they bave anything to get, worship millionaires; but they do not nake of them ideals. They are uot thivsting to be themselves cellars of cash nor are they inclined to bow down before pecuniary reservoirs. The tendency, in fact, is the other way— to hold ‘“‘mere money in" a certain intellectual scorn; to pan- der to the alist dislike of the very rich man, 1o full prostrate, if at all, before rank, and military suceess, and intetlectof a certain showy and advertising kind, The sccret wishes of men ure muny, but those who desire to .be as the Nitrate King, and who watch him, to cateh if they may his secret of success, are certainly not the community. The majority in all grades thirst for competenco, as ih kon competence, in order to be free; a few desive great wealth us a tangible proof to themselves of their OWn Suc one or two seek mammoth fortrnes from the mere pleasure of the pyramid builder, half vanity, half de- sirve to do what has not been done be- fore, but all set in ideal before them- selves other than the mone, in ance are the millionaires into ideals, while in German, loathed; in Italy, where men quit busi- ness on £200 & year, tnoy are disre- ed; in Austrin they are nothing ng crushed by the reverence for birth; and in England they are—what shall we suy? defended, with apologics for the defense, as people who are use: ful in their way. That the admiration for wealth—mere wealth—grows here and in all European countries, we do t deny, because ull other forms of irvesponsible power are dying, und men long for power less fetiered than the bower derived from a popular vote. 3etter any deity than Belial, if man is to advance, even if it be so absurd a one asis embodied in the Lnglish con- ception of aiistocracy. That does at least impose some obligations; but what are the obligations thav the worshipper of Jay Gould in his heart respects?

How Not to Go to Sleep. “In these days of innumerable hints for health and comeliness,” says a prom- inent physician in the Philadelphia Nortt. American, “let me tell peauty how not to go to sleep. Let her take care that it is not with a frown or dis- contented expression, for such will be apt to leave its imprint during her sleeping hours, and coutribute just so much to permanent unbecoming lines. As she finds herself sinking into the arms of the drowsy god, let her close her mouth = easily, allow the eyelieds to drop gently but fully over the eyes, and just &s she TELILLING FIGURES From the Forty-fifth Annual Report (January 1st, 1890) of the New York Life Insurance Company 849 & 848 Broadway, New York. wi LES | RBEERS, President.

She should not lie with one hand under her cheek, a common habit with youthful sleepers, which wrinkles and 'slightly numbs the skin, and, of course, she should breathe through the nose. This latter can be readily acquired if one is not adicted to it, unfess there be some pronounced nasal impediment. Persons who have passed their first youth are apt at the moment of falling asleep to let their jaws drop slightly, and the lips of the mouth settle themselves in heavy curves; this 15 not necessary vntil'the muscles, relax with age and a little watchfulness at the moment of losing consciousness will lessen the ten- dency.” "SPECIAL NOTICES, COUNCIL BLUFF3, al houses and lots to_trade for ncil Biuffs or Omala unimproved prop- 1.
