Vote, Buliots Usunl The election in Council Bluffs yesterday | was & record-breaker in more respecis tnan one. Not only was the vote the largest ever cast in the city, but ft was the quiet- tory of the city. The precautions taken by the municipal authorities, assisted by the chalrmen of the republican and democratlc mmittees, resulted In & total absence of any lawlessness or disturbance during the entire time that the polls were open The plan of roping the “dead line" around the voting places proved effectual in pre- venting any crowds congregating around the booths and did much und.ubtedly to do away with the usual loitering of people in tho vicinity of the polls. The polls opened at 7 o'clock in the morn- ing and the voting was brisk for an hour or 80, those casting their ballots in the early bours being men anxious to get to their work. During the entire morning up | to noon the voting was steady and it was | estimated that in most of the precincts a third of the vote had been cast in that time. During the dinner hour the voting slackened, but about 2 o'clock It got brisk again and continued so all the afternoon. The last two hours, from 5 to 7 o'clock, the balloting in several of the precincts was | the heaviest and in some precincts there was @& regular rush of voters to get their | ballots in at the last moment. When the | polls closed at 7 o'clock, it was generally estimated that the full vote in the city, as shown by the registration lists, had been cast. Incidents of the Polling. Ia some of the precincts, especially in the First ward, there was evidence of considerable scratching, while in others the opinion prevailed that the majority of the voters were casting straight ballots. The Iatter was noticeably true in the Third and Fourth wards. In the First ward some of the voters remained so long in the booths that the judges were compelled to motify them that they were overstaying their Hmit. This was taken to indicate that the ballots were being scratched. In tho Third and Fourth wards and in the Second precinct of the Second ward the voters as wfgeneral rule stayed in the booths but a | very short time, and this was taken to in- | dicate that they voted straight ballots In the First precinct of the First ward a | very large vole was cast and at an early hour the ballot box was jammed full and a barrel with the head securely nailed up bad to be pressed into service in which to | deposit the ballots. Around some of the polls there was littlo to indicate that a presidential election was in progress except for the presence of the party of challengers and the two speclal policemen. Voters went to the polls, cast their ballots and then went back to thelr places of business or homes. From the rapidity in which the votes were cast in some of the precincts it was evident that the voters had fully docided before- hand how they Intended to vote. The usual electioneering around the polls was consplcuous by its absence. Toward the close of the polls the crowds increased somewhat, but at no time was | there the slightest dlsturbance. 1t was a typical republican day even to the weather and by 4 o'clock in the afternoon it was es- timated that the republicans had carried the city by at least 400. Even Mayor Jen- nings, who had been most sanguine of a democratic victory in the city, couceded at | 4 o'clock that his parly was beaten and beaten badly. Public Interest is Great. The deep interest in the outcome of the clection was signified by the throngs which gathered at every place where roturns were recelved. As each bulletin was throwa on the screen or read by some strong- lunged individual deatening applause would rend the alr and the only complaints to be heard were on the ground that the re- ports were all one way. Early in the even- ing it became apparent that the repubd- licans hadgwon a victory, not only locally, but in the country at large, and the demo- crats soon vanished, leaving the town in the possession of their opponents. The novel feature introduced by Manager Atking of the telephone company by which subscribers were furnished the returns as fast as they came in proved to be a popular innovation Owing to the size of the ballot and the numerous scfatchings, no definite figures were obtainable In the city at midnight, although the straight tickets indicated that | the republicans had carried the day by | from to 600 votes.

The Construction company’s franchise was later assigned | to the Surburban company, when Town- send & Reed purchased the old Lak Manawa railway's property. It is under | this franchise, which the motor company now claims its rights on South Main street The records of the city council show that at the time the Counc!l Bluffs, Lake Manawa & East Omaha Construction com- pany filed its acceptance of the franchise, it presented a list of streets which it elected to occupy under its charter. In- cluded in the list are South Main street from its intersection with Sixteenth avenue to its Intersection with Washington avenue and Peari street. from Its intersection with Broadway, to its intersection with Main street. Mayor Jennings admitted yesterday that he had all along been under the impres- slon thal these two streets were not in- cluded in the Construction compuny's fran- chise, but the right to occupy them had been granted to the Surburban company at the time of its supposed trouble with the old motor company.

SHOOTS BY C RIFUGAL FORCE, A Powderleas Machine Gun that Fircs Our Newcustle-on-Tyne correspondent informs us, says the London Times, that 4 machine gun of a novel character has been invented by James Judge, a well known engineer of Newcastle, who thus describes it: The gun {8 a patent centrifugal quick- fring machine gun; it is five feet high and welghs about five hundredweight, It is In- tended for battleship, earthworks and gar- rison purposes. The motive power is elec- tricity transmitted to a motor attached to the side of the gun. The motor causes @ disk to revolve at a very high rate of speed. The bullets, which are introduced into the Interior of the disk at the axle, travel along curves in the Interior to the circumference, and are there impelled through a barrel. It {3 claimed that this disk will rotate, under the influence of the motor, at the rate of 12,000 revolutions a minute, and will eject shots from the muzzle of the gun with an initlal velocity 000 feet per second. One of the chief characteristics of the gun s that it will maintain a continuous fire. If necessary, a shot may be discharged at every half revolution, but {n practice one shot every fourth revolution will be found sufficlent The bullets are spherical and measure 3-16 inch in dlameter. The following are the results of the tests already made with the gun: Eighteen thousand rounds of shot at the rate of 8,000 & minute have been discharged from the gun. These shots consisted of mickel steel, some of brass (as used in ‘ance), lead and chilled metal. It was tested seven times privately, no motor was used, nor is one yet attached to the gun, although | the gun s constructed for an electric | motor. The tests were made by means of | a belt driven by & steam engine. Under these conditions the veloeity required and which It is malntained an electric motor will produce was not, of course, attalned, but the practical working of the gun was | tully demonstrated. A long range could | not be hud because of the mecessity of | secrecy, and the testing was done In a| covered shed at Blyth dry docks. A steel target, 3 neh thick, was shattered, the disk of the gum revolving at a speed of 2,600 revolutions per minute. om the penetration of the target it Is calculated that at a distance of 400 yards penetration of & similar character will be effected of & plate 7-16-inch thick under the influenco of an electric motor. There is no heating of the barrel of the gun, be- cause of the continnous stream of cold alir which is impelled through it by the turn- ing of the disk. The dlsk ftself is lso free from heating on account of the special bearings on which it Is constructed. These bearings are a highly complicated me- chanlcal contrivance, and are similar to those used in Parson's turbines, which can revelve at the rate of revolutions a minute, and Levall's motor, which revolves at the rate of 30,000 a minute. To test the gun thoroughly it will be necessary to afx s motor which will be a five-horse power motor counled direct onte the shaft. felt by all republicans {n the result in lowa and the lack of auy great contest in this state, the result Is especlaly gratifying. At midnight, Chairman Weaver of the republican state central committee sald “Returns from 263 precincts in lowa so far recelved show a net galn for the re- publicans of twenty votes to the precinot. This ratlo, carried out, will mean a plurality for McKinley in Iowa, of over 100,000. Cer- taloly lowa will give that much, which would be the largest majority ever given by the state for any party.” The plurality for McKinley in 1896, was 65,552, ’ Returns show that a heavy vote ha been cast all over the state. The result | in the congressional fights cannot yet be told, withough the indications are that all the republican congressmen will bo elected. In the Second and Sixth districts the fight 1s close. In Muscatine, In the Second dis- trict, Rumple, republican, has a majority of 500. There seems no doubt that the amend- ment to the state constitution for bienni, elections instead of annual ones has c ried Polk county, in which s Des Molnes, will glve about 6,000 majority an increase of about 2,000 for the republicans. The vote on the state ticket in lTowa s running very close to the national, show- ng that most of the members of other political organizations who have lald aside party lines, have left the old party en- tirely and have voted a straight ticket. The entire republican state ticket has been elected by a most complimentary vote. The returns from the eleven congressional istricts of the state are meager, but there 18 every reason to belleve that the dele- gation will be solidly republican. r- LESS HOURS WITH SAME PAY International Associatfon of Machin- s Make Demand for Ad- vance ia Wages.

About a dozen years ago, I. e., just before the electric light had seriously interfered | with the street {llumination by gas alone, the calculation fn pounds, shillings and pence worked thus: Statistics furnished by ome chief company showed that 35,000,- 000 cuble feet In excess were consumed on & single day of fog. This was computed to ba a quantity sufficlent for a year's supply of gas to a town of 10,000 or 12.000 inhabl- | tants. Adding to this the extra supply de- manded at the same time of two other metropolitan companies, the total excess of | &us amounted to 150,000,000 cuble feet, or, put It In another way, the cost of the day's fog In gas to London could not be put at & | less figure than $35,000 or $40,000, | Then, a8 to the cost in health, we have a | statement in the Lancet from a health | officer who {s prepared to take the lenlent view, that In spite of & few days' discom- fort people after a fog live om pretty much as before. He fs ready to admit that to counterbalance the bad effect of mechan- feal {rritation there s possible good to be derived from Inhaling carbonaceous matter by reason of such matter being a disin- fectant, while, as the result of actual meas- urement, there {8 shown to be present all | the while pretty much the normal amount of oxygen. For all this, the writer Is con vinced that the mischief wrought goes far | beyond streaming eyes and smarting nos- trils. There are other products in the banetul air besides the particles of simplo s0ot, sulphurous ammonical cid and or- ganlc particles, which, when added to the usual accompaniment of a lowering of tem. perature, must tell materfally against the infirm or But this questfon has been approached in yet another way. Prof. Olfver, in & pre- Uminary report to the sclentific committee | of the Royal Hortlcultural soclety a few | years back, details the result of scraping twenty square yards of the roofs of glass | bouses at Kew and also at Chelses, which | had been carefully washed dowm previous to a visitation of & fog. In both cases the welght of deposit was about the same, thirty grains per equare vard, or six tons per square mile. Proceeding to analyze the | deposit collected at the more denmsely in- | habited locality, there was found about 40 | per cent of mineral matter to 36 per cent of | carbon, while the analysis yielded 5 per cent and 1'4 per cent of sulphurous acid and | hydrocloric acld, respectively. There was also & considerable proportion—viz., 16 per cent—of hydrocarbons, to which was at- tributed the famillar oleaginous character of togs as we know them. LURED THE DOG TO COMBAT, Wise New York Cat Established Her Authority n Cafe, ts and dogs do not fraternize s a gen- eral thing, though now and then fthey strike up an alllance. An interesting in- stance of this took place in an uptown | cafe the other night, but not untll after the cat and the dog involved were, In ac- cordance with the usual custom, at swords’ point. The dog was Captain, a purticu- larly smart cocker spaniel. The cat was Lena, who as her name suggests, s fond of frankfurters and Swiss cheese, and who hitherto has malntained a standing feud against all dogs. Lena is a fighter and| doge, barring Captain, are her pet aversion, Captain belongs to John Hogan, the old- time minstrel man, and it came to pass that the first time he ventured {nto Lena's stronghold he was looking for trouble, says the New York Times. Lena never exerts herself to avold trouble and Captain was accommodated before his visit was over. Lena posted her forfeit and lost no time in quibbling over the time for welghing in ‘The point of the story, however, is the de- liberate manner in which Lena brought about the conflict, It seems that Lena has two fellne as- soclates who are of a peaceable nature. When Captain appeared on the scene the two timid cats were sharing a bone whicn Captaln at once appropriated. Lena was | close by taking note of the proceedings. For a minute she did nothing but think. Her plan of campaign figured out, she arose and slowly walked behind the lunch counter. Her actlons were noted by Cap- tain's owner and others, who, knowing Lean's prowess as & repeller of dog will lose the sight of both eyes and will probably dle. P — MISSING GREAT THINGS. e Gold Bricks, B8Ry every great invention, before it is finally hit upen,” remarked a New Orleans lawyer to & Times reporter, “has been within hand's reach of dozens of men who were unaware how near they stood to fortune. There is nothing more singu- lar in fact than the way people can skate around somoe huge idea without seeing It. When the foreordained fellow comes along, grasps the practicability of the thing and reaps the reward of perspicacity, the others who bave besn so near and yet so far, feel somehow that he has interfered with their vested rights. Lots of famous law- sults have grown out of those conditions. But it Is certainly exasperating to realize that you have stubbed your toe on & gen- ulne gold brick and then were fool enough to walk off and let some ether chap pick it up. “I had an experience of that kind once myself. It occured to me that a revely- ing bookcase would be a handy thing for boarders, had regarded Captain's temerity with amazement. Lena's plan was apparent when she emerged from behind the lunch counter with another bone. This she carried to within a few feet of Captain, where she 1aid it down and then coolly stepped aside to awalt developments. It was a palpable challenge. Captain accepted the issue In- stanter. He walked over, took Lena's bone in his teeth and then put his foot on the other bone. The next fustant he had other things to attend to than bones. Lena was on his back and the battle was on. Captain s & valuable dog and the combatants were quickly pulled apart. Captain was minus & few locks of halr, while Lena had the bone and a smile of triumph. Captain and Lena are friendly enough mow, although Captaln has not yet rfecov ered trom his surprise at discovering that there Is one cat that not only doesn't go out of its way to avold dogs, but lures them into conflict as well. Once Wealthy Farmer Bankrupt. LOUISVILLE, Ky. Nov. 6—Richard Wathen, a farmer and stocktrader of Bardstown Junction, filed a petition In bankrintey today. He owes $204,07 and has office use and I had one bullt te order. It proved a success and on several occa- sions I thought vaguely of having the device patented, but dismissed the scheme a8 ‘not worth while' Nearly two years | afterward a more fatelligent gentleman up in New England did what I wouldn't do and today he Is rolling in riches. I have been obliged to buy ene of his cases since and T nefer hated to give up the money so badly in my life. Several other tnstances fn the same line have come under my personal observation. “I have a friend, for instanse, stumbled upon the principle of the Bell telephone long before the war. He was at colloge at the time and he and a fel- low student actually went so far as to construct an experimental line over half a mile long. They had it in successtul operation for several weeks, when it was discovered and destroyed by a cantankerous profegsor, and thus vanished what might have been one of the biggest fortunes in the world. The incident had almost faded from my friend’s miud when Prof. Bell nched his tnvention on the public, Another gentleman who was formerly @ client of mine anticipated the pneumatic tire years before somebody else patented It. He is fond of fine horses, and away back In the 70s he had a light road cart made that was almost the exact counterpart of the modern pneumatic su'ky. The big, clumsy-looking tires excited great merriment among his friends.
