The Council Blufts delegation to the re- publican state convention rcturned home yesterday morning, and a more Jjubilant set of men it would bo hard to find. For the fivst time in years, the republicans of Potta- wattamie county and of the river counties generally received the recognition for which thoy have been fighting at every state con- vention since the workings of the prohib- itory liguor law bocame generally known. “The republicans of Council Bluffs have been 1n the front rank of the fight for the last six years, and, although discourngzements met thiem at almost every tarn in the roud, they Kkept on, determined to bring about such a modification of the liguor law now on the statute books as would enable them to regu- late the sales of liquors, which, like the brook, seems to o on forever. The local option part of the platform was modelled upon the platform adopted by the Pottawattamio county republicans in their last convention, and contains, in substence the me stutements, The Pottawattamie delegates played by no means an unim- portaut part in Wednesdays convention, and they accordingly fell considerably elated over the action of the convertion. Pott- awattamie was in line for Jackson from the start, and on the second battot, which gave him the nomination, there was but ono voto for another candidut Heartily Endorse the Ticket. The nomination of Jackson and the rest ot the ticket seems to meet with the hearty approval of the Council Bluffs- people.

Puséy (demoerit)—You've got our platform atlast. I'm glad we've done some good. 1t doesn’t make any difference now who is governor: state-wide prohibition will be knocked out any way. Some talk has been made in democratic cireles to the effect that the present stand of the party will divide the republican rank and result in 4 large increase of the prohibi 160 vote and a corresponding diminution in the republican. This is denied by re- publicans who have looked the state over thoroughly. Although the platform will cause a slight defection in a fow of the intry districts, this will be more than made up by the enthusiam pained in the | counties which contain large cities, where cepublicanism has been almost a last issue during the last two or three state campaigns. And no large pulling-off is looked for even in the strong holds of prohibition, from the fact that the only intention of tho party, as stated in the platform, is to enable counties that can’t prohibit to regulate and not to force saloons on all the counties in the state, whether they want them or not, as has been the aim of the democratic party for the last five years. like the ticket "Il sweep the state, wrence—And Pottawatta- GASOLINE EXPLOSION.

Ll TORTURED BEFORE THOUS INDS, World's Falr Visitors Witness a Horrible Spectucle. CuicaGo, Aue. 17.—Thousands of people lined the edge of the Grand basin at the fair tonight and watched four Quackahl In- dians undergo the torture dance. The horrible ceremony took place on a float in the center of the basin. The four braves who underwent the torture dance had thongs p: d through strips of flesn cut in their backs. Other Indiuns took the loose ends of the thongs and using them as reins drove the others avound the float as if they were driving horses.

Finuily the thongs were pulled loose, tearing the flesh and bringing streams of blood, One of the men lost his reason because of the pain he suffered. He sprang upon In- terpreter Ford and fastened his teeth in his arm. Several men were needed to open his jaws, He will regain his reason in a short time.

Beam lefv Reynolds, White Cloud county, Ind., iu the early part of last month.

It Is uot strange that some people do wrong through ignorance, others from a failure to investigate us to the right or wrong of & matter, But it is strange, that individuals and firms, who are fully aware of the rights of others, will per- sist in perpetrating frauds upon them. High-toned, wealthy manufrcturing firms will offer and sell to retail mer- chants, urticles which they know to be infringements on the rights of proprie- tors, und imitations of well known goods, We want to sound a note of warning to the retailers to beware of euch imita- tions aud simulations of “CARTER’S LT~ TLE LIVER PILLS.” When they are of- fered o you, refuse them; you do not want to do wrong, and you don’t want to lay yoursell liable to a lawsuit.
