More will follow today, and it is estimated that there will be at least fifty Blufiites on the ground before the chairman's gavel calls the first meeting of the convention to order. The local republicans take such an interest in the doings of this convention as thoy have hardly ever taken before, and they hope that something will be done to relieve Pottawat tamie and the other river counties whose ex- | perience with the prohibitory law has beena costly one, As is well known, the Council Bluffs delé- gation goes on a platform which declares squarely in favor of local option, and it is to work for the ideas contained in this platform that o large a delegation of prominent republicans will leave today for the scene of action. At the lust state convention con. siderable diplomacy had to be used in the republican ranks on account of the nearncss of the presidential election, and a groat deal of work which would undoubtedly have been doue toward securing a vepeal or modification of the present liquor law had to be laft un- done. Now, however, there is no such reason for putting off the consideration of the question, and the anti-prohibitionists are very hopeful of securing the relief which has becn so long desired. The delegation has gone prepared to fight to the last ditch, und with the assistance of the other river delegations they will at least muko a respectable showing. The Council Bluffs delegates are stood to be for the most part in favor of Hon. Frank D. Jackson for governor. Mr. Jackson represents the “young men's part” of the party, sud his well known views on the subject of prohibition have done a good deal toward uniting the anti-prohibitionist iu his favor. Hon. Lafe Young. on the othe hand, represents the prohibition element, and as these two gentlemen are supposed to be in the lead for gubernatorial honors, the fight will doubtless take its character from them. under- SHE WANTS ALIMONY. Prominent Farmer of Calhoun County Be. comen Interested in u Livorce Suit. Plumpton Babcock, a wealthy farmer of Calhoun county, Iowa, is the defendant in a rather sensational law suit which has just been filed in the district court by Mrs. Jen- oie Babeock. Ho and his wife were married in Rockwell City, in Calhoun county, June 9, 1892, but lived together less than a year, the cruelty and systematic abuse whizh the hus- band systematically visited upon the wife, ausing her to leave home the April follow- ing the marriage. Aboat three weeks of separation eusued, during which time the it, according to the story told by Mrs. Babeock in her petition, put in his best licks to effect a reconciliation. Upon his promising never to mistreat, her again she returned to his home and dis- missed the divorce suit which she had com- menced a_few days before. He then re. newed his abuse, she says, choking b calling here vile names, threatening to kill her, accusing her of unchastity, and com- pelling her to do all sorts of labor when her health was bad. He taunted her on account of ner return, telling her vhe only reason he had urged her to come back was that he might get out of paying her the alimony which a court would be likely to exact from him, and telling her that after she had come back to his home she could never get a divorce and that he could do as he pleased with her. Mrs. Babeock gives her husband's pes- sonal property as £10,000 and his real estate as $16,000 more, Besides these amounts she ys he has property enough to bring the total amount up to #0,000 or §0.000. She demands o monthly allowance of $200, pend- g the final settlement of the lawsuit, be- sides $2,000 for attorney fees and £500 for the expensc of securing witnesses. She also de- mands a judgment of §5,000 as permanent alimony. Broke Out of Juil. Oficer Wiatt of the Council Bluffs police force haa unother interesting experience with a man who was _driving at a rapid gait about Cut-Off island, howling, yelling and generally giving vent to the feelings inspired by a large load of buage. Wiatt attempted to stop him in his wild carcer, but as soon as he thought he had him under control the fellow convinced him of his error by hauling off and hitting him a heavy blow with the butt end of his buggy whip. The ofticer's was broken and his head was quite soverely cut by the force of the blow, but he brought him out of his buzgy with a sudden- ness that made his collar bone beat a tatoo against his cars. The fellow was deposited in the jail av Courtland beach for safe keep- ing until morning. When Wiatt returned to the jail, about an hour later, to see how his prisoner was doiug he found him gone. He had worked his way into the zood graces of u couple of darkey boys who furnished him vith a monkey wrench.

Wheel Club Mecting The Ganymede Wheel club held a meet- ing last evening at which the resignation of Thomas Melcalf, Jr., us treasurer was ac cepted aud O, G. Drow was elected to fill the place. The fact wus reported that out of the s1xty churter wewbers who agreed to stay by the organization for ona year, th four had failed to come up with thete . du and had announced their fntention of dropping out. It was decided to refor these cases to the club at- torney, with a view of commenciag action to compel them to live up to their contracts in case they still refuse. — v CURIOS OF THE CENSUS3. 0dd Rep! to the Questions About In« debredness. The whole number of actual replies to the census bureau’s questions sent out to learn how many persons own their homes, and most especially how many farmers own the farms they cultivate, was more than 4,000,000—40,000 of them arriving in one day’s mail, says Kate Field's Washington. The object was to learn the value of mortgaged property, the amount of mortgage debt, the rates of interest paid and for what purpose the debt had been incurred, Up to date the percentage of answers to the circulars sent out is more than 70—at least 20 per cent above the best average in private business. As the answers came in each was num- bered, and the writer's identity was lost forever. Numbers of filled out sched- ules would contain swear words. One man wrote: [very farmer has to answer these qu tion, 1'don't sec what's to hinder the money s from wiping us out entirely. You t down and take it easy with a big y and good stealings, while I have to work like h— to make a half living. There was only one man who acwually refused to fill out the blank; he was prosecuted and punished. Of course there were millions who paid no atten- tion at all, but this one man has gained the distinction of an obstinate and down- right refusal. Three mortgagors in Montana have agreed to pay 00 per cent interest, an- other in Towa 80 per cent, while Massa- chusetts is awarded the palm with a single mortgage, the face of which is $2,400 and which calls for interest at 144 per cent per annum, payable monthly Some very old mortgages, long since satisfied, but carelessly left uncanceled, were brought to light—one dated as far back as 1857, “All settled, God bless your good soul,” wrltes ono woman, while' another says that there is no claim against he property, it be the lien of a neighbor w suing her for $20,000 damages for received from her ram. The writer, however, contended that the neighbor was the aggr and that the ram acted only in s defense, and then proceeds to minutely describe her holdings and to ask the government to set a value on them. There were people who misunderstood the matter entirely. One of them writes Dear Sm—I received a act of Congres and wood say to you I don't know what want me to doo if their is eny thing I can doo i am Ever willing to doo 1t but you Must Instruct me by Mail an let me Know what i to doo and state my Pay and when i get nd i wood be ouly to glad to doo it but could not spend my time for no pay as i hev to work for a living Hopiug to Here frum you 800n — And here is another from a woman's pen: I received your circular on the 16th of March, I do not want to borrow no money at present if the crop fails I may want some of the 1 of March 1892, L will let you know I if I want some. ‘Women sent pictures and locks of hair and similar trifles along with their doc- uments, while the men would send fam- ily histories, thousands of words in length, requests for pensions and green goods circulars, which they would want to kunow if it was safe to answer. A man sent a photograph of triplets and requested contributions for their support, By far the most curious of g1l the com- munications ave those which assign rea- sons for having incurred the indebted- ness which the mortgage was intended to secure. The tariff comes in for a large share of the blame. “The research nas developed the curious fact that in nearly every county in the United States there is at least one man who incurred his indebtedness for the purpose of furnishing a substitute for himself in the civil w Some of the victims had plenty of room in which to give the object of their debt.

After waiting for a half hour and no quoruin being present, a motion to ad- Journ until Tuesday night was put. As the yote was ¢heing taken Councilmen Wood Wyman and Bruce walked in and the coun cil again convened and proceeded to busi- ness. A communication was read from the oxecutive committee, appointed at the meet- ing when Ed Johnson made a report on the actions of the city council, asking the ma; and council to meet with the executive com- mittee at John Doe's ofice on Tuesday even- ing. 'The council was also given notice tha a complete report, as read by Mr. Johnsor, was open to the public and could be scen at any time during business hours at Mr. John- son's office, On the strength of a petition signed by J. McDonald and others Mr. Bulla, chair- man of the committee, recommended that J street be graded from Twenty-fifth to Twenty-second street. Conrad Weideman was given permission to change the location of his saloon to the cor- ner of Thirty-third and Q streets. Bruno Stratham was allowed to transfer his liquor license to 428 N street. An ordinance was introduced creating the office of deputy city clerk. The ordinance provides that the mayor 18 to appoint. the salary to be §0 a month and a bond of 81,000 is to bo given. The duties of the ofticial are to act as assistant o the city clerk and in the absence of that ofticial to perform the duties of his oftice. Fire Chief Smith was granted a leave of absence to attend the national meeting of fire chiefs in Milwaukee. Street Commissioner Tobias reported the culvert in Albright adjacent to Howell & Bradford's lumber yard had been fenced, as it was in a dangerous cor.dition. Police Judge Fowler handed in the follow- ing report for July: Number of eases tried. amount of fine ull«lxw-\u. 8188 50 hool fund.. ... ? 94 00 sneral fund: > " 81 50 Paid to Chief Bockott L1800 City Attorney Van Dusen opinion that a levy could at that time be made against the” property abutting on N street to pay for the grading and paving done and now in course of completion. It was something that should have beeu done at the begiuning, but as the former council had neglected to do its duty, it would be legal to do so now. This maiter was brought out by a query from Wyman, who asked the attorney to advise the council as above indi- cated. Jack Leonard put in & claim against the city for #300. Some time ago, when Juck was confined to the hospital by siokness, his shack at the intersection of N street and the ailrond track was ‘torn down, under the direction of Police Chief Beckett. Leonard estimates the value of his building at dog at #0 and his goods at §00. The was referred to the city attorney. Joe Upha reported that a nuisance existed at his place in the shape of pigeons roosting on his house. He wauted the council to advise him how to abate the nuisance. The mayor said the man had been after him to compel the owners of the birds to keep them up. Bulla thought the matter should_go to Cummings, the pondmaster, and Schultz ejaculated that the chicken committee was the place for the communicant to get justice, The matter was finally placed on the table. An estimate for $1323.90 was allowed Hugh Murphy for grading done at Twenty- sixth and Q streets, A final cstimate of $1,512.50 Cash Bros. No. 1. The horse car company gave notice that it desired to change to motor power, and asked for information trom the council. ' The communication was, upon motion of Mr, Bruce, referred to the committee on via- ducts, strects and alleys and the city attorne; While this matter was before the council Wyman took occasion to state that the strect car companies should be made to carry passengers from Albright to Omaha for one fare, and vice vel M, Schultz was opposed to this proposition, as there was enough trade going to Omuha now. He thought one fare would be a teaser for persons to trade in the city who would otherwise buy their wares at home, Upon motion of Wyman the mayor and Councilman Bulla were instructed to re- quest the managers of botn companies to accept each other’s transfers. The strect commissioner was instructed to purchase eighty feet of eighteen-inch sewer vipe, to belaid on Thirueth street between T and U streets. Charley Splitt handed in a bill for $115.15 for work done while he was garbage muster 1891, Wyman, chairman of the finance committee, did not recommend the payment of the bill, as there was no way of verifyin the work alleged to have been don lieved Mr. Splitt was honest in his state- ment and gave as s oxcuse for not handing in the bill sooner that he thought there was no money in the treasury.

Dick Payne in 1, The first thing that Dick Payne, sailant of Holmes, asked for in jail, was & lawyer, and Mr Buyliss was called in. The lawyer ad vised Payne to say nothing to any one, and the prisoner heeded this advice un- til after he was questioned so closely that he had to tell some things that were not true or make a statement To a r porter for Tue . Bee Payne finally said: “Holmes never did like me. Our first difficulty wrose over gambling in Deaver's place. That was some days ago. Since that time Holmes has told me se times that he intonded to kill me the firsy opportunity he wot, When he approached me last night Twas4fraid he would carry out his threat.

He denies ever having had any trouble with any one before, when it is 3 known tact to the police that thi are twp pien in this city that he almost killed.

Sowmiges i MORTAR FACTORIES. are home An Important Newly Developed F Modern Building. The day is near at hand when sight of & mortar box or mortar mixer will be a curiosity. For several years builders of Cincinnati have talked of the desirability of establishing mortar fac- tories, but the idea was never very fully developed until recently. While nearly every other material used for building purposes has generally been brought te the building site ready made, mortar has always been left to the unskillful management of the most inferior workmen, who mixed it ‘‘by hand” near the place where it was to be used. This has always been a source of much annoyance to all persons con- cerned. The lime barrels, sand heaps and mixing box together consumed a greatly needed quantity of street spac and added greatly to tho disorderly ap- pearance of things in the neighborhood of a building which was in the process of erection. In some of the larger cities several mortar plants were established in which mortar wounld be mixed by hand and kept in stock until an order was secured, when it would be re- tempered and sold. This plan, however, gave very little satisfaction. Within the past year a process has been evolved whereby mor- tar can be manufactured by machinery in almost any guantity at a moment’s no- tice and with the certainty that the proper “‘temper” will be given. This is a remarkublo step forward in buildn, To insure good work it was necessary by the old plan to commence slacking” the lime about two weeks or a month before the time when the mortar was to be used. The modern mortor machine slacks the lime in forty-five minutes move perfectly than was ever accomplished by the hand- hoe process in a fortnight. By the old method the workmen would frequently miscaleulate the amount ve- quired, and either mix too little or too much mortar, This would ¢cause the bricklayers to be delayed in the first event, and in the second the superfluous mortar would be wasted. Now a con- tractor can ovder just the amount of mortar he needs and be sure that he will e o reliable woticle. For some time past-there has been a very successful mortar factory operating in Philadel- phia, in which mortar has been made with machinery ve suceessfully, A few months sinee a mortar compary put up the first mortar machine ever erected in this state. The plant is well worth inspecting and is an enii new thing- The sand used is dumped intoa hop- ture of the THE NEXT MORNING | FEEL BRIGHT AND NEW AND MY COMPLEXION IS BETTER, My doctor says | Mver and kidnev drink 15 mad % easily as tea.

After mixing it is dumped ifnto carts and put into immediato use in the walls of buildings or on ceilin, There is no need to wait a second for any retem pe ing or anything of that sort. Machine made mortar, it has been found, is always more thoroughly mixed, is easicr to work with, and aoes not “blister.” The Plum street factory bas a ca- pacity of 250 tons per day of ten hours, All aveangements have been comploted to erect a similar plant in Now York, which will have a capacity of 1,000,000 pounds a day. Machine made mortar is therefore no longer the shadowy bility it has been for centuries, actuality of a very material sort. Another building material in which there has lately been a very marked im- provement is plaster for interior wor The lime plaster of the olden times is rapidly giving place to what is known as hard or rock plaster. This material is made by a process and with machinery | with which the goneral publie is not al- lowed to become too familiar, the re- ceipt being a patented affair.
