Nick World's Latest Exploit. The boy who was knocked unconsclous ®y & Mapawa motor Sunday night and taken to the Woman's Christian assocla- Alon hospital was identified yesterday ‘morning as Nick Worlds, a youth formerly in the Christian home.

The stories he invented and told the authorities showed that the youth had an unusually fertile braln. One of his most recent escapades was to steal a horse and buggy across the river and on another occasion he sues ceeded In ingratiating himself into the good graces of the Omaha police, who for & while credited him with being quite a yougg hero.

TWO NOMINATIONS ARE MUCH IN DOUBT Numerous Candidates for Clerk of the Courts and County Attorney Complieate the Sit- uation, Monday was a busy day politically, espe- clally among the candidates for the several nominations to be dealt out by the re- publican county convention today. A mum- ber of the country precinct delegations arrived in the city yesterday afternoon, most of them making their headquarters at the Kiel hotel, which during the evening was the scene of much activity. The can- didates from the city were to be seen hobnobbing with the eountry delegates in the endeavor to strengthen their fences while on the other hand indivual dele- gates from the outside precincts might be seen earnestly conversing with the “city folks” in the endeavor to secure some polnters as to the situation. During the afternoon the delegates from Wright, Waveland, Norwalk, Hazel Dell, Minden, Grove and Macedonia arrived on the scene. The early arrival of the country delegates indicates that there will be something doing at the convention today because as a rule the delegates from the outside precincts do mot reach the city until the morning of the convention. The contest over the nominations for clerk of the district court amd county attorney promise to be the star feature of the convention. The fight for the nomi- nation of clerk of the district eourt, it is expected, will be particularly keen, there being so many candidates in the fleld, each of whom it 18 belleved will have a good sized backing. For some time past it has been known that more than one of the country precincts will come into the con- vention opposed to according candiddtes a third term nomination, but it is now very doubtful whether any such resolution will be sprung today. The situation is such that it seems very doubtful if it will be when it {s taken into consideration that Auditor Innes and Recorder Smith, both st whom have served two terms, will go be- fore the convention today with practically no opposition for a renomination. With the nominations for clerk of the district court and county attorney, the situation is different, both County Attor- ney Killpack and Clerk Reed having several opponents in the fleld against them. Situation Badly Mixed. Such was the situation last evening that even the old time war horses declined to pick out the winpers for these nomina- tions. Thero s no doubt but that Free- man Reed will go into the convention this morning with a strong following, espe- clally from the country precincts, and his friends are confident that he will be re- nominated without much difficulty, pos- sibly on the very first formal ballot. On the other hand G. G. Balrd’s candidacy cannot be overlooked nor his strength underestimated, as he has a Targe power- tul following in the city. H. V. Battey of Avoca, af present deputy clerk there, and the east end of the county candidate for the district court clerkship, will enter the convention with at least four of the pre- cincts from his section of Pottawattamie olid for him. Harry M. Brown, deputy clerk of the superior court and chalrman of the city central committee, has not been idle since- he announced his candidacy. His campaign has been made to a great extent on the “still hunt” plan, and his friends assert that he will develop more strength than he s given credit for. B. E. Sayles, former alderman-at-large, will have the Fifth ward delegation at his com- mand, but his strength in the country dls- tricts is problematical. County Attorney Killpack's strongest op- ponent is conceded to be John' M, Galvin, who is sald to have at least forty of ths city delegates to start with. Assistant County Attorney Kimball has been doing some hard work within the last few days and yesterday wearing a sanguino smile and feeling more or less hopeful that the lightning would strike his way today. The contest for the two nominations for members of the Board of Supervisors does not promise to be very exciting and it is belleved that Supervisors Brandes and Bullls will be both accorded renominations. The county convention will be called to order at 11 o'clock this morning in the superior courtroom by Chairman Wright of the republican county central committee, who will name George S. Mayne as tem- porary chalrman, leaving the convention to select fts temporary secretary. Beyond the appointment of the usual committees it is expected little else will be done by the convention before the noon adjournment. The Kane township conven- tion will be held immediately at the close of the county convention. Owing to the heavy rain last Saturday several of the country-precincts fatled to hold their caucuses and held them last night instead. Puck’s Domestic soap is best for lauudry. l(e? clean.

Rald Rooms Over Saloon. John Achatz, keeper of the saloon In the building which Attorney Joba Lindt wrested from the Schlits Brewing company after several years' of litigation, was in palice ecurt yesterday morning charged with keep- ing & disorderly house. A year or more ago the grand jury indicted him om & similar charge, but Attorney Lindt succeeded in having Achatz's trial postponed from term to term. The police ralded the place late Sunday night and arrested a white woman and a colored man, who were occupylng apartments over the saloon. Achatz’s hear- ing was continued to July 22 on motlon of Attorney Lindt, and he was released on his own recognizance, Sebuhaensiumgbuny \ TROUBLE OVER THE ROAD FUND Counell Will Insist Upon Havi Expended Within ¢ City. An The city councll last night determined that the entire portion of the county road fund raised by taxation on property within the city should be expended by the County Board of Supervisors upon the streets and thoroughfares within the corporate limits and under the direction of the committee on streets and alleys. The matter was brought before the council by a commu- nication from Supervisor Baker, in which he notified the city council that under the action of the Board of Supervisors he had charge of all county road work in Kane and adjoining townships, and the expen- diture of that portion of the county road fund levied' within the ecity of Council Bluffs, and that he was now ready to begin work in accordance with the pur- pose and spirit of the code. He asked that the eity council give him such directions as it might wish in accordance with the intent of the code In regard to the ex- penditure of sald mohey on the public roads. As a reply to Colonel Baker's communi- cation this resolution, introduced by Al- derman Lougee, chairman of the streets and alleys committee, was adopted and the clerk instructed to deliver a copy to the county board: Resolved, That the Board of Supervisors of Pottawattamie county be directed to expend_upon ‘the streets and public high- ways within the city of Councll Bluffs the full amount of the 1 mill road tax col- lected from property within sald city and that sald work be done under the direc- tion of the committee on streets and al- leys of this council. Supervisor Baker contends that the in- tent of the code is not that all of this por- tion of the road fund should be expended on the streets within the city, but on the roads and thoroughtares leading into the city. It is said that he will likely refuse to expend the entire amount within the city and that the courts may have to be appealed to again to determine the contro- veray. Mayor Morgan submitted his appointment of Attorney W. S. Baird, Attorney J. J. Stewart and Dr. J. H. Cleaver as members ot the Free Public Library Board of Trustees, and they were "duly confirmed. Attorney Baird succeeds himself. on the board, while Mr, Stewart and Dr. Cleaver will take the places of T. E. Casady and E. A. Troutman, whose terms have ex- pired. Mr. Baird and Dr. Cleaver are re- publicans, while Mr. Stewart is a demo- crat. The two retiring members are demo- crats. The request of the committee from the Elks that the lodge be allowed to occupy First avenue between Pearl and Seventh streets, and South Sixth street between Broadway and Willow avenue, for the pur- poses of the carnival and street fair for the week of September 1 to 6 inclusive, was granted on condition that the Elks secure the consent of the abutting prop- erty owners. The committee has already secured permission from the park board to occupy a portion of Bayliss park. The rejection of W. H. Knepher's bill for the repair of the Tenth street bridge over Indian creek led to a heated alter- cation between Knepher and Alderman Casper. Knepher accused the alderman of being responsible for the defective lumber supplled and Alderman Casper, on the other hand, insisted that Knepher had done the work on his own responsibility instead of under the supervision of the city en- gineer. The bridge collapsed the day after Knepher had completed the répairs and slid into the bottom of the creek. An effort to have the bill referred to the com- mittee on claims was defeated. The pas- sage of words between Knepher and Alder- man Casper provided considerable amuse- ment for the lobby and the mayor bad to rap for order more than once. Alderman Huber wanted to know why Street Supervisor Taylor did not furnish the councll with an itemized statement of the money expended on the streets, and made a motion that he be required to do #0. Alderman Lougee explalned that it was practically impossible to designate the exact amount spent on each particular street and the motion falled to carry. Curtew Ordina; Again. Colonel Alexander Hogeland is in the city and contemplates submitting to the city council a new curfew ordinance sim- flar to the ome adopted in Indianapolis.

He belleves an ordinance on the same lines as the Indianapolis ane would meet with better succe: s he claims it can be enforced with very little trouble to the authorities.

BIG LAND COMPANY Action of Des Moimes City Counmeil Likely to Bring About Settles ment of Telephone Oper ators’ Strike. INCORPORATES (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, July 7.—(Special.)—The state executive council this morning com- menced consideration of the telephone and telegraph reports recelved by the auditor of state, with a view to making the an- nu ssment for taxation purposes on this class of property in Iowa. Whereas last year there were 287 of these reports to be considered by the council, this year more than 600 have been received. There has been much less reluctance on the part of the companies in making reports this year, because the assessment on the pri- vate and farmer lines has been light and the taxation question one of only a few cents. A great majority of the reports are of small companies, having less than & dozen telephones. Reports show the num- ber of miles of wire, the number of poles, the number of telephones in use, whether they are toll lines or mot and other infor- mation on which to base the assessment. The enormous increase in the number of companies the last year and in the num- ber of telephones in use is a surprise to everyone, and Indicates that the entire state 1s being covered with telephone lines. Next Monday the council will be ready to hear all persons who may wish to speak in relation to the assessment of telephone and telegraph companies. This work will keep members of the council busy until the time of taking up assessment of rall- road and express companies. Wil Teach the Teach Elght normal and business colleges of Towa have made application for recognl- tion as secondary normal schools for mor- mal work uder the new law passed last winter.

Judicial Convention to Be Held, The republican judiclal convention for the Fifth district will be held at' Earlham, Madison county, tomorrow, beginning at 11 o'clock a. m. The district comprises the countle: Guthrie, Adair, Dallas, Madison, Marion and Warren. Judges Gamble of Marion aud Applegate of Guthrie will be renominated by acclamation, after which there will be a contest for the third place between Gu'her of Madison and Nichols of Dallas. Delegates who were in the city to- day on the way to the convention expressed the bellef that Nichols will win. He has a large majority of the delegates from Guth- rie county and will divide even fn Warren with Guiher. Thé latter has a little the best of it in Adair county, but Marlon county will probably give Nichols the most votes and nominate him. The present third judge is Wilkinson of Madison and he has held the office many years. May Force Strike Settlement. The Des Motnes city council today passed a resolution directing the Mutual Telephone company to at once comply with the re- quirements of its charter under penalty of forfeiture. The resolution was as follows: Whereas, The Mutual Telephone company has fatled to comply with its franchise in laying the prescribed number of condults, painting its poles, rendering a sworn state- ment of its reciipts and expenditures of the ‘company during the preceding vear, and falling to pay 5 per ent of its gross receipts for the privilege granted in such charter, and by reason thereof the fire department is prevented from doing as good and eficlent work as it would otherwise do; therefore. be it Resolved, That the clity solicitor be in- structed to notify said company that if it falls to make, the report as required and comply with- the ordinance of said city within thirty days after notice, all its rights and privileges granted by virtue of sald ordinance and charter of the eity of Des Moines, shall be forfeited. Said com- pany shail within thirty da ow_cause, f any there be, why such rgm and privi- leges should' not be forfeited. As soon as this was passed the managers of the companies and the representatives of the striking telephone operators got to- ™ and agreed to have a formal meeting to consider a compromise tomorrow, is expected that at this meeting the strike will be practically disposed of.

Sev- eral years ago, the writer of this, who has spent much of his life in the tropics, thought he was safe from sunstroke. One day he collapsed, remained uncon- scious for five hours, and at times his life was dispaired of. As a matter of fact, ang person whose stomach and bowels are in ba 1 shape in the summer time, is e to be sunstruck in temperature that would be harmless under normal conditions. That's all there is to it. Stomach and bowels full of festering, fermenting refuse that forms acids and gases, raise the heat of the body and blood many degrees. Scientists have found that natives of the South Sea Islands, living on laxative fruit, bananas, cocoanuts, bread-fruit, have a temperature 20 degrees lower than that of white- men who are careless about their food or their bowels. It has been found mienrs.ofrxperience, that a CASCARET Candy Cathartic taken at bed-time every night will keep the body clean and cool inside all day, and forms a safe and thoroughly reliable form of sunstroke insurance.
