[ONDAY, AT CURRENT COUNCIL LAMBS FOR THE SLAUCHTER| Numerous Democrats Waiting to Take Places on the Oounty Ticket STRONGEST HOPES AROUND TREASURER Sherift the Other ently in the Greatest Demand. There will be no lack of candidates for the several nominations when the demo- crats of Pottawattamie county meet in convention tomerrow in this city to name a county ticket. The fact that the repub- licans nominated & candidate for county treasurer from the east end of the county and not from Council Bluffs has led the democrats of this city to foster the hope that they might possibly capture this plum at the November election. There is an erroneous impression prevalent among the democrats of the eity that the nomi- nation of L. Consigney of Avoca for county treasurer by the republicans was not to the liking of the members of the party in the city and that consequently Consigney will not recetve the full support of his party. Whether this opinion fs shared by country precincts is not known, but certainly has taken hold in Counefl Bluffs This being the case, there are several willing to accept the nomination for treas- urer at the democratic convention's hands. W. Brooks Reed is one of the most active candidates and has the support of sev- eral townships as well as quite a follow- tng In the city. Louls Zurmuehlen, Jr. who was defeated last fall for clerk of the district court by Freeman Reed, is sald to be anxious to hold some political office or | other, and accordingly has thrown his castor into the ring again this fall and is anncunced as seeking the momination for treasurer. P. Gunnoude, who since the Great Western raflroad bought out his property has not been engaged in active business, is being groomed by his friends for this nomination, and it is sald that he | is perfectly willing to accept it if offered him. J. R. Black of Griswold is sald to be the choice of the democrats in the east end of the county and he will, if he de- sires the mnomination, figure prominently in the contest. Three for Sher Mack C. Goodwin, chairman of the dem- ocratic county central committee, was thought to have an inside track on the nomination for sheriff, but recent develop- ments show that he is not the only as- pirant for the office among the demo- crats. James O'Nelll, a veteran democratic warhorse and a former sheriff, is in the field and has a strong following. George F. Wise thinks that he could quit bridge bullding for a while, and if successtul in securing the nomination, go after the office. Former Mayor Victor Jennings seems to be the unanimous choice of his party for the nomination for state senator and he wil pected, ba.sdmifiated by ac- rlmM’;)r 8. B. Tobéy of Oakiand. Riley Clark of Neola and Al Lenocker of Oakland are named as candidates for the nominations for state representatives. E. L. Stimson, assistant city engineer, will, it is believed, have a clear field in the nomi- nation for county surveyor, although the name of George Judson has been mentioned 1n this connection. Mr. Judson, however, is out of the city and it is doubtful if he will be serfously considered. Dr. C. H. Bowers, Dr. Mel Bellinger and Dr. W. P. Hombach are mentioned as candidates for the nomination for coroner. Dr. Bellinger, it is sald, can have the nomination if he so wishes. Crop of Supervisors. For members of the board of county supervisors as usual thers are several willing to serve the county in this respect. Those most prominently mentioned are Sylvester Dye of Macedonia; Peter Max- fleld, Neola; George Thomas, Boomer town- ship and B. G. Underwood of Council Bluffs. The name of Jacob Hansen of Keg Creek, who formerly held a seat on the board as & republican, has also been mentioned in connection with this nomi- nation. Tt is said, but with what authority is not known, that Mr. Hansen is willing 1o accept the nomination from the dem- ocrata. Dr. J. 1. Ferron of Council Bluffs is the only avowed candidate for the nomination of county superintendent of schools, and it is sald the nomination will be his for the asking. A boom for Hon. Willlam Groneweg as nominee of the democratic party for mayor | next spring was sprung Saturday night at the caucus of the First precinct of the Second ward, when & resolution declaring in favor of his nomination was adopted amidst considerable enthusiasm. Mr Groneweg was formerly state senator. The same precinct at the caucus BSaturday night declared itself in favor of Thomas Maloney for alderman. Plumbing and heating. ®ixby & Soa.

The semi-annual meeting of the board of directors of the Council Bluffs Com- { mercial club will be held Wednesday even- ing, at which time a new executive com- mittee will be elected, the members now serving having been elected for a term of six months. The executive committee is comprised of the following: H. H. Van Brunt, chairman; H. W. Binder, secre- tary; ¥, R Davis, C, W, McDopald and H. A. Quinn. At this meeting will also be brought up the question of securing a commissioner to succeed W. W. Loomis, who resigned two months ago and since which time the club has been without one. As a matter of economy it may be decided to have the executive committee do the work which would properly fall to the commissioner. Such an expedient may be necessary as the membership of the club has been gradually decreasing. The question of endorsing The Council Blufts, Tabor & Southern Electric rallroad and assisting it to secure a franchise to enter this city will also be brought up at the meeting Wednesday night. N.

MONEY FOR IMPROVEMENTS Btate Fair Board Will Bpend $10,000 on Its Grounds st Osoe COMES IN UNDER THE BANKING LAWS Announcement is Made that Practi. eally All Burlingtom Engineers in lowa Have Joined the Brotherhood, (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Aug. %.—(Special )—When the State fair managers had got through {with their work last night they were in- .deed happy over the showing of results. With four days of rain and the heaviest ain that ever fell on a state fair, the assoclation or department came out ahead ! last year in the matter of cash re- s and the exhibition made an impres- \(l'vn on the people as lhe greatest thing of the kind ever seen. "I have no hesi- tancy in saving,” sald W | Afton, the president of the association, “that the exhibition we have just given was the greatest state agricultural fair ever given in this country. We had the | best herds of horses and cattle and hogs in the country, une of the finest flelds of racing animals, the largest oollection of machinery and in all the other depart- ments there was not one place where it could be said we had fallen down. All were good and some of the departments were | unusually good." The receipts last year were $53416. This year the receipts as footed up last night showed $1.000 more, | and a few bills to collect. At the same time the expenses were necessarily larger, and with the premjums paid will amount to about $,000 more than last year. The assoclation spent about $i8,000 the past year in improvements and repairs and has | 812,000 out at Interest for an emergency. | 1t is planned to epend about $10,000 in im- provements beginning at once and con- tinuing next ycar. A meeting of the ex- ecutive committee will be held the 15th of next month to attend to details. Banking Company Incorporates. The state auditor has just concluded an Interesting correspondence Wwith a cor- | poration at Creston, which has ended in the company coming in under the banking laws of the state. This is the Creston Loan and Trust company and Land Credit bank, of which J. B. Harsh is president and H. W. Perigo treasurer. The com- pany has just received a charter as a | bank, although it has been doing busi- | ness for a number of years. It starts off |as a bank with about $150,000 deposits. There had been a controversy as to whether or not the company would have to come in under the banking laws. It had been doing some banking business in a private way and the state auditor in- sisted on bringing it under the banking laws, which has just been done. Fifty-Fifth Goes to Fort Riley. The Fifty-fth regiment, Towa National Guard, will go to Fort Riley October 18 for a mine days' encampment With the | regular army. The regiment is located in | the towns of southwestern Towa, including one company in Council Bluffs and two in \De;- Moines. General J. Rush Lineoln, in- structor in the lowa State college, Ames, is in command of the regiment ‘mnd al- though It has been reported that he is in W. Morrow of | ill health it is believed he will be able to take the regiment to Fort Riley. The governor and his military staff may also €0 to the encampment. All the companies of the regiment are now in fine condition and are anxious for the trip, although it comes much later in the season than the usual encampments held in the state. Engineers in the Brotherhood. It is learned here that the engineers on the Burlington railroad in this part of the country have been nearly all taken Into the Brotherhood of Engineers. For a num- ber of years the Burlington has been un- organized. In JTowa the purchase of the Keokuk & Western, which nearly doubled | the mileage of the Burlington in lowa, made a change in the situation, as the Keokuk & Western was unionized. Now the Burlington management is undefstood to have fully sanctioned the unionizing of the engineers and practically all of them have gone into the brotherhood quite re- cently. Will Have a New Town. The Rock Island Raflroad company ex- | pects to establish & new town in Madison county, near the Adair county line, on the new extension of the Winterset-Greenfield line. This accounts for the change of ‘[r..uu throwing the line about five miles further south than the survey which was | recently purchased. It is the plan to establish & town that will not interfere with those on the main line of the Rock Island further south. The work on the | Greenfield extension is mow making great progre: Sued for Persomal Injury. For injuries alleged to have been re- ceived while removing a 1¥-pound roll of Jeather to the basement of Field, Ingalls & Co.

Mrs. Hayford bore the unique distinction of having made more ples in the last five vears, it is believed, than any other woman In the country. She had made from 25,000 to 30,000 ples a year for local lunch counters and restaurants, and her business seems to have grown beyond her capacity for managing it. Had it pald financially in proportion to its growth in recent years Mrs. Hayford would not need to seek the relief of the bankruptcy courts. About five years ago Mrs. Hayford was in actual want, with several children de- pendent upon her and actually thrown upon the streets without resources to rent a home. In this extremity she met Al Ruebsam, owner of several lunch counters in Davenport and Dubuque. “Make ples,” sald Mr. Ruebsam.
