5 fic «Alé merits of ollsprinkled highway: CURRENT COUNCIL PLANS FOR ONE BIC RALLY Btate Oommittee Promises to Fnrnish a Bpeaker of First Magnitude REPORTS FROM COUNTY ENCOURAGING Democrats Centering All Thelr Fight oh Two Chndidates, but hances Are Slim of Thelr Land- ing Anyone, JMhere will be one big republican rally in Coundll Bluffs during the present cam- paign. This was decided upon at a con- ference of county candifates and leade:s of the party held yesterday afternoon in the office of Chairman George 8. Wright. The meeting was well attended and reports from all sections of the county indicated an increased republican vote this fall. As the offer had been made by the state central committee to supply & prominent speaker for o meeting in this eity, the candidates present decided that the offer should be accepted, although the general opirilon seemed to be that a speaking cam- paign in Pottawattamle county this fall was not at all necessary. In accordance with the wishes of those present at the conferenee Chairman Wrigat will endeavor to secure the attendance here of either Senator J. P. Dolliver, Gov- ernor A. B. Cummins or Secretary of the Treasury L. M. Shaw, At the suggestion of the conference Chalrman Wright will at once place himself in communication with ¥. C. Dawson, Benator Allison's pri- vate mecretary, who has charge of the speakers’ bureau for this campaign. Reports from all parts of the county show that the republican party is stronger than ever it was and that while some of the democratic candidates are making a cam- paign, not one of them has expressed any expectation of being elected. Reports re- cefved by County Chairman Wright would indicate that the democrats appear to be without any organization and that what- ever campaigning s being done ls by the individual candidates and not by any party organisation. The democrats, it is sald, and everything points to this being the case, are center- ing thelr efforts to secure the election of their nominees for treasurer and sherif. They are willing, it is sald, to sacrifice the rest of the tlcket if they can only elect these candidates. Chalrman Wright of the republican county central committee stated last even- ing after the conference that while in de- ference to the wishes of the candidates and others present at the meeting he had con- sented to request the state central com- mittee to supply one prominent speaker for & rally In this city, he did not think it at all necessary. Everything, he sald, pointed to an overwhelming victory this fall for the republicans and he could not ®ee how, iIn the face 6f reports recelved from every precinct in the counfy, the democrats could even hope to elect one man on their ticket. The meeting yesterday was preparatory to the calling of a meeting of the county central committee to arrange a plan of “the The meeting of the county central committee will be held sarly next week. At the meeting of the city council next Monday night there will be submitted a gommunication from the West End Im- pravement club requesting that the side- Wwalks ordered in the western part of the Ely be ordered bullt without further de- Iay; also that the city authorities take Steps to prevent o recurrence of the con- ditions that existed in that section of the city after the recent flood. The West End Imp: t club will also ask the coun- eil to appoint a committee to act with a committes from the club in investigating The elub s anxious to have the experiment made on Avenue B, the residents along which, it Is claimed, would be willing to bear part of the expense. Another matter that the club will ask the councll to take up is the improvement of Broadway, whica s sald'to bo in an almost impassable con- dition in the western part of the city. ) Judge Says Verdict Stands. . Judge Macy yesterday overruled the mo- tlon of the defendant company for a new trial in the damage sult of the Monarch ' Manufacturing company against the motor company. At the time of the flood in 1900 the basement of the Monarch Menufactur- Ing company’s bullding on Bixth street was filled with water which the company claimed was due to the condition Sixth street bsd been left in by the motor com- pany when laying its tracks, It secured @ veordiot of $3,00. The motor company in applying for a new trial contendéd that it eny damage had been dome the plain- tiff company by the grade of the South Sixth street track, Townsend & Reed, the promoters’ and constructors of the lne Use Dredge on Indiam Creek. City. Boglnesr Etnyre is preparing to deepen Indlan creek from its mouth at the rivor to Nineteenth avenue with the big dredge belonging to the motor com- pany now lying at Lake Manawa. Ar- rangements for its use by the city have been made with the motor company, and the dredge will be floated from the lake to the mouth of the creek, and from there will be operated as far as feasible, which 1t in believed will be Nineteenth avenue. This is an entirely new experiment, but it 18 belleyed that the results will be far more Jasting than the cleaning of the creek as heretofore dome by hand labor. Notice of Dissolution.

The convention also adopted resolutions oppos- Ing the practice of some of those engaged In saloon business in ocombining gambiing houses with the saloons as bringing general disrepute on the business of the saloon man. As & summing up of the general feeling of the men engaged in the saloon business, this resolution among others was adopted: We discourage any, and all attempts to Influence legisiation In our favor through any oxcept the legitimate channels of leg- islation during the session of the legisla- ture this winter at Des Moines, and we hereby declare publicly that our’ policy g not that of bribery and boodle, nor fs it that of the shotgun or the club, but that we adhere to the pollcy that appeals to reason and logical argument, which pollcy we hereby heartily Indorse and recom- mend to our brethren engaged in the re- tafl liquor trade throughout the state of Towa.

NEW YORK, Sept. 30.—The spirit of hos- tility created among the fusionists by the attitude of Comptroller Grout and Presi- dent Fornes toward the Tammany coup of placing them on the dethocratic ticket s growing and the crisis of the incident must soon be reached. . Senator Platt and Governor Odell held a conference at the Fifth Avenue hotel today and it 18 expected that some formal state- ment will be glven out by them later on.

When a laxative is needed the cemedy which is given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the internal organs on which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because its component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy itself free from every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents, well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy, because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is-— Syrup of Figs—and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should be used by fathers and mothers, Syrup of Figs is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and naturally without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results from the use of the old-time cathartics and modern imitations, and against which the children should be so carefully guarded. If you would have them grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give them medicines, when medicines a not needed, and when nature needs assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and gentle—Syrup of Figs. Tts quality is due not only t5 the excellence of the combination of the laxative principles of plants with pieasant aromatic syrups and juices, but also to our original method of manufacture and as you value the health of the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous deal- ers sometimea offer to increase their profits. bought anywhere of all reliable druggists at fifty cents per bottle. to remember, the full the front of every pack- age.

BOFIA, Sept. 30.—The improvement In the Balkan situation seems to be reflected by the Sofla press, which no longer discusses | the Macedonlan situation. Prince Ferdi- | nand returned here this morning from his country seat.

Therefore, for the last time, the Bulga- rians, who have been decelved and who have left their firesides and trades are in- vited to return to cheir homes and villages. Those who do not return and refuse to trust to the mercy of the imperial govern- ment will be purs and thelr homes de- stroyed in the most severe fashion. A report issued by the revolutionary com- mittee at Monastir gives detalls of a long list of atrocities committed by the Turkish troops in September, including the ruthless slaughter of a number of children, who were hurled from high rocks. It s stated that the Turks killed over 200 peasants in a number of villages and that while taking 130 villagers as prisoners to Neveslo, they massacred seventy-five of them. At another place elghteen women were outraged and then shut in & barn, which was set on fire.
