COMING OCT One Man Has Had Enough Office and Will Not Beek a Renomination. ’ NO OPPOSITION IS EXPECTED TO TWO Convention Not Yet Called and Plemty of Time for Other Aspirants to Get Into the Field Be- fore It Meets. Although five months ahead of the No- vember election, candidates for the several county offices to be voted on this fall are coming to the froht with announcements of their aspiration There is already a good field of entries with probably a number yet to be heard from. Next Noévember the peo- ple of Pottawattamie county will be called upon to elect a clerk of the district court, county attorney, county auditor, county re- corder and two members of the Board of Supervisors. Freeman L. Reed is now completing his fourth term clerk of the district court and he will not seek a renomination, being content to turn the office over to some other good republican. G. G. Baird, who has been Mr. Reed's chief deputy for a number of years, is a candidate for the nomination. H. V. Battey, deputy at Avoca,'ls a candi- date for the nomination from the east end of the county. Up to date these are the only two candidates who have announced themselves for this nomination. For the republican nomination for county attorney there are already four candidates in the fleld. W. H. Killpack, the present incumbent, who is now serviug his second term, is out aftet a renomrnatiod for a third term. Clem F. Kimball, assistant county attorney, has announced himself as a candidate. John M. Galvin is also an active candidate and A. T. Van Siyke of Oakland has also announced his candidacy. Elmer E. Smith is serving his second term as county recorder and to date no one has appeared on the scene to contest his renomination for a third term. The same is true of R. V. Innes, county auditor. Mr. Innes is serving his second term, but up to date he has no opposition for a renomina- tion. Mr. Innes served a number of years ae deputy under former Auditor J. M. Mat- thews and is pecultarly adapted for the po- sition. Henry Brandes, now serving his second term, and Allen Bullts, who was hppointed to fill the vacancy caysed by the resigna- tion of B. G. Auld, are the two retiring members of the Board of County Superr visors. It is sald that both will be before the convention for renomination. They may have opposition, but it has not devel- oped yet. No date has been set as yet for the county conventfon. It will probably not be held before the latter part of July or possibly in Augyst. The state convention has beem calléd for July 30. Pottawattamie county is entitled to twanty-seven delegates to tHe state convention. N. Y, Plumbing Co., telephons 250. STICK FOR MORE FREE 'PHONES City Couneil Refers Back Ordinance to the Cimmitice 6f the ‘Wiiole, The city council last njght failed to concur in the recommendatiof of the committee of the whole that the telephone ordinance submitted by Vic Stevens of Dubuque on behalt of the Interstate Teleplione com- pany be approved and submitted to the vote of the people for their approval. After the ordinance bad been read again and discussed, sectlon by scction, it was, on motion of Alderman Tinley, referred back to the committee of the whole. The main question at issue now is that of free telephones for the schools. Several of the aldermen were inclined to demand this concession and Mr. Stevens declined to grant any more than he bad already agreed to. Alderman Lovett stated that he wouN be in favor of exacting this con- cession and reducing the amount to be re- ceived by the city of the company’s gross earnings from 8 to 2 per cent. He cited the case of an independent telephone com- pany in Des Moines, which had agreed to pay the city 5 per cent, and he sald he had been informed that up to date the oity had received nothing. By securing free telephones for the schools, he argue the city would be sure of that much, any. how. The cammittee of the whole will meet this afternoon to- take up the ordinance again, On the recommendation of the committee of the wh the ordinances submitted by the Omaha hnd Council Bluffs Telephone | and Telegraph company and the Intern: tional Telephone Company of America were disposed of by being laid on the table. The ordinance introduced by Alderman Olson -on Dehalf of the Retail Grocers’ association, raising the license for peddiers of frult, vegetables and other products from $50 to §76 a year, was lald on the table. It was the general opinion of the council that the present ordinance met all require- ments, it enforced, and the mayor was re- quested to see that the police enforce it. Olsgn, stated that the retail grocers coms plained that peddlers came from Omaha and pald no license. Owing to Alderman Huber having won out in the First ward aldermanic contest, and thereby diaplacing Mr. Bell, the republican incumbent,, Mayor Morgan sunounced the following rearrangement of the standing committees: Finance—Fleming, McDonald and Casper. Judiciary—McDonald, Lougee and Tinley. Olalms and Printing—Huber, Oleson and Fleming. Internal Improvemepts, Streets and Alleys —Lougee, Casper and McDonald, Bridges and City Property=—Casper, Lovett and Olson. Fire and Light—Lovett, gee.

IOWA CROPS MAKING GOOD PROGRESS erintendent Rothert and State OM- Confer Over for the State School for the Deaf. (From a Staft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, May 20.—(Special.)—The Towa supreme court today decided another case fnvolving right to property in East Omaha, overruling the decisions of Judg Walter 1. Smith In the Pottawattamie court and holding contrary to the gen- erally accepted version of what the United States supreme court was supposed to have held In' the Jeffries c In this case, that of East Omaha Land Company against Jens Hanson, the controversy wae over the limit of government lot 2 in the cutoft district. Hanson occuples land on the old sandbar which formed in the main chan. nel, and the company claims that its lots Tun west across the eandbar, which is in fact, 8o they claim, but an accretion to its property. The lowa supreme court holds that the sandbar or island wa formed .long before the present contro- versy arose and before the river made the cutoff in 1877, and therefore the land comprising the island is not an accretion to the adjacent land within the horseshoe bend. It was claimed by the land com- pany, and so held by Judge Smith, that the decision of the United States supreme court in the Jeffries case settied this one, because it was held that all the land was accreted land. The Iowa court refuses to take this view of the matter, but holds that the United States court merely des clded on the boundary line between the states, leaving all other disputes to be settled later. It was also claimed that Hanson had agreed to abide by the dey clolon in the Jeffries case and was pers mitted to remain on the land because of this agreement. The court finds no evi- dence of any such an agreement, and even it it existed it would not affect the title to the land. The decision of Judge Smith in favor of the land company is therefore reversed. In another case decided today the court holds that an attorney cannot recover com- pensation for prosecuting in a disbarment case, but must serve without compensation when directed by the court to do so.

Tonight at 10 o'clock a speclal train on the Canadian Pacific arrived from Quebec with High Constable Gale and assistants on board, armed with a writ of habeas cor- pus, They got into a cab and drove to the Montreal jall, to which Institution Gaynor and Greene had been committed by Judge La Fontaine during the afternoon. Within about half an hour the officers were leaving |the city with their prisoners, There was a warm argument today fin the extradition court before Judge La- Fontaine when the Gaynor-Greene case was called. It began when the counsel for the accused complained that yesterday they were unable to secure access to their cli- ents, who' were being confined in a private prison at the Windsor hotel. They, there- fore, demanded that Gaynor and Greene be committed to the Montreal jail in charge of Governor Vallee so that they could se- cure access to them. Mr. McMaster for the United States gov- ernment at first raised no objection, but a few minutes later he recelved information that two writs were sworn out and one of these was addressed to Governor Vallee. Once in the Montreal jall the writ would be served on_the governor and he would have mo choice but to obey its call and take Gaynor and Greene down to Quebec. Mr. McMaster entered a vigorous pruun ugulnl the proceedings. § Judge La Fontalne took (ha matter un- der advisement and this evening decided that as the prisoners really should be In Jail, and desiring to go there, he had no alternative but to commit them. The pris- oners were then taken and cdmmitted to the care of Govermor Vallee until Friday next. BAPTISTS IN CONVENTION Organizations ie-“- ‘Whieh Will Con. a Week. ST. PAUL May 20.—A national gathering of Baptists, répresenting half a dozen na- tional organizations of that church, began here today and will continue into next week. Many famous workers in the church are present. The matter about which problbl) ‘most interest centers ia the proposal to combine several of the important socleties of the church whose work seems to overlap. The proposition at present is simply for the federation of the various organizations. The Women's Baptist Home Mission so- clety began its twenty-fifth annual meet- ing with an executive session of church workers this afternoon. Mrs. James S. Dickerson, first chairman of the executive board, told of the organiza- tion of the Women's Baptist Home Mission soclety and addresses followed by Mrs. R. R.

DeCrais, announcing that Mount Pelee continues to throw up immense quantities of cinders, which, owing to a change in the direction of the wind, are now covering the southern districts of the {eland, Violent explosions have been heard at LeCarbett. The governor further declared there is no danger of an outbreak on the part of the population of the northern dis- tricts of the island, as alleged, on account of the people belng out of work. Interesting {nformation of the Mount Pelee disaster {s being obtained in letters which are coming here from people in the island of Martinique. One letger written during the afternoon ay 3, ‘says: “The pepulation of the mountain is flock- ing to the city. Business is suspended, the Inbabitants are panfc-stricken and the fire- men are sprinkling the streets and roofs, to settle the ashes, which are filling the ale."” This and other letters seem to indicate that evidences of the impending disaster were numerous five days before it occurred. It is dificult to understand how it was that a general exodus of the population of St. Plerre did not take place before May 8. Excursion Was Planned. of A St. Pierre paper of May 3 announces that an excursion arranged for the next day to Mount Pelee had been postponed as the crater was inaccessible, adding that notice would be issued when the excursion would take place. Although Whitmonday is a public hol- iday the ministry of the colonies was open s usual and all the officlals were at their rosts. The advices received from Martinique this morning indicate. that the local au- thorities are no longer anxious regardiug food ‘and other supplies, which are now reaching Fort ‘De France in sufficlent quantities to meet all demands until the arrival of the supply ships now on their way to the island. The eorrespondent of the Assoclated Press learns that the ministry of the colonies totally discredits the report 'of the de- structions of St. Marle, Martinique, by fire, which has reached here, as today's dis- patches do not mention the fact, which they certainly would have done had the town been burned. The latest royal subscription is that of the former queen regent of Spain, who has given ten thousand frances for the fund, which now amounts to over 750,000 frances M. L'Huerre, the governor of Martinique, has sent the following cablegram to M. De Crais, the colonial minister, dated For: De France, May 18: I have informed ‘the poj o - Plles by the l'nne'«i g g ixie . and the “steamers Fontabella and Madina will arrlve here today.
