CURRENT COUNCIL OPEN CAMPAICN THIS WEEK First Bound to Be Fired by Demoerats Thursday at Avooa. REPUBLICANS FOLLOW ON NEXT EVENING Demoeratic Chairman Has Dificalty in Securing Funds with Which ' to Lubricate the Party Machinery, —— #Me republican campaign n Pottawat- tamie county will be opened Friday with a rally at Avoca, when Governor Cummins will deliver an address. A rousing meeting is looked for and 1t is expected that ail of the candidates on the republican county toket will ba present. Avoca republicans are making elaborate preparations for the entertainment of the crowd which they axpect thero that day. * County Chalrman Wright arrived home yesterday from a trip to various points in Wyoming and expects to call a meeting of the county central committee for some day this week. It fs proposed to have sev eral meetings in different parts of the county during ‘the month. Chatrman Wright has not completed his st of spoakers, but among the number will be State Senator C. G. Saunders, County At- torney Killpack, Assistant County Attor- ney J. J_ Hess, F. F. Everest and other local men. The democratic campaign is billed to be opened likewise at Avoca, the day preced- ing the republican rally. This will be Thursday, when Congressman M. J. Wade of lowa City will be the principal speaker. Chairman Miller of the democratic county central committee went 'to Avoca Saturday whefe a party pow-wow was held. Chairman Miller's mission was to endeavor to raise some funds with which to start the campaign going, but he did not meet with any great success. Several of the county candidates were present at the conference, but, it is sald, were averse to loosening up very freely. The faithful in Council Bluffs are anx- lous to have a big rally in the city before the end of the campajgn. for which some prominent speaker 15 to be secured. Chair- man Miller, however, it is said, has stated emphatically that no such meeting wil be arranged for by him unless the money is in sight to pay expenses Plumbing and Heating. Tro e in Securin The inabllity of the sidewalk contractors to secure bank sand, as provided in the apecifications, in sufficient quantities is re- sponsible for the delay in laying the brick walks ordered in various parts of the city. Some action is looked for at the meeting of the city council tonight to remedy mat- ters. It has been suggested that the con- tractors be permitted to use river sand. To permit this the specifications under which the contracts were let would have to be changed. To change the wpecifica- tlons, it is clatmed, would probably lead to litigmtion and- ‘the eity: able for the gost of the work in the event of the prop- arty owners refusing to pay on grounds that the sand provided for in the contract had not been used. . City Solicitor Snyder has suggested that the contracts recently let by the city be rescinded, new specifications drawn up by the city engineer permitting the use of river sand or any other sand equally as good a® bank sand and bids be again advertised for. While this course would take two or three weeks Mr. Bnyder belleves it is the only #afe course to pursue to prevent the eity belng held responsible for any dis- crepancy between the specifications and the work. Fire at Grand Hotel. A still alarm brought the entire fire de- partment shortly after 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon to the Grand hotel. Defective insulation of electric wires started a blaze in the roof of, the rotunda. It was quickly extinguished after the firemen had chopped their way to the seat of the trouble. The damage is Inconsiderable. ‘While the crowd which had been attracted the arrival of the fire department was wathered around the hotel considerable ex- citement was caused by a fight between a large Bt. Bernard dog, sald to belong to ¥. Osborne, a traveling man, and a huge Dane hound, the property of Oscar Younk- erman. All efforts to separate the dogs for a time were futile and people trampled over one another in the rush to get away from the Delligerent canines. Finally Pa- trolman Hay: by the use of his ‘club, separated the dogs. The big Dane hound was paralyzed from the blows of the officer’s club and 1t is sald will have to be H. Edstrom, who conducts a feed store on Broadway and Twenty-fourth street, was arrested yesterday afternoon on complaint of M. Woolfson, proprietor of a grocery #tore in the same locality.

OPENING A NEW COAL FIELD IN 10WA Current Week W in the Polifieal Fleld—Meetings Both See an Awakening Announced for Partiel (From a Staft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Oct. 4.—(special)~The question as to whether or not the violators | of the new lowa law which requires fire escapes on all bulldings three stories high | or over are indictable under the lowa law or only punishable by fine in a justice court is being considered by the county offictals | here. Lespite the fact that the number of firc | 0f the new lnw is enormous there are mary bulldings whose owners have neglected to | UL up Lhe fire escapes. The city officlals igave the required notices and the county attorney has been Informed of the fafiures But he has thus far hesitated about having indictments brought because of the doubt as 1o whether the law makes fallure to comply felony. The penalty is a $100 fine or in certain cases this fine and The question is one which will probabl ralsed by an indictment to make a test of the ma.ter in the courts, In the meaptime the state commissioner of labor statistics | continues such inspection ws he has been able to make and reports on the fire escapes as well as on factories generally. In his report the commissioner safd: ‘Realtaing that the enactment of the fire escape law somewhat modified the duties of the commissioner as outlined In the code and finding that In some sections of the state no efforts were being made to varry out thé provisions of the law by the local officials entrusted with its enforcement, thereby leaving employes and persons a sembled in factories and bulldings unpro- tected against fire, the commissioner spared no effort to bring this important statute to the attention of the local officlals. The ef- | forts thus far made were as a rule,cor- dially recefved, but with others they were either disregarded or the authority of the commissioner disputed. In order to-be clear A8 to my duties in the matter an opinion was asked from the attorney general, which supported the opinfon held that ‘the com- missioner is imposed with the duty of serv- ing notices upon agents or owners of buld- ings wherever they had fafled to provide | fire cscapes as required by law.’ It will be een from the opinion that the commissioner has no authority to command the erection of fire escapes and consequently cannot serve a legal notice. However, this diffi- culty was overcome in some sections by the hearty co-operation of the fire depart- ment chiefs and mayors of cities, and wherever such co-operation was extended all difficulties were overcome and ample fire protection provided.” The commissioner, however, in his bien- nlal report quotes one letter received by him from a fire chief in a city of Towa In which he indignantly refuses to have anything to do with the new law. The commissioner sent the letter to the mayor of the city and he did nothing and the city Is today with- out any fire escapes. This is only one place, but in many others the law worked well. It is expected there will be some modification of the law and: strengthening "of it at the next session of the legislature. The labor commissioner in his report makes a strong recommendation for the ap- pointment of several factory inspectors to go about the state and make thorough Mmspec- tion of the factorles to see that the law complied with in every respect. New Coal Field in lowa. | There will be a new and large coal field !opened in Iowa next year. The White- breast Coal company of Chicago, the most extensive miner of coal in the state, has been quietly acquiring a large area of land in Marion county, near the town of Dallas, which is far removed from any railroad at this time. The company secured options on the land and has had borings made in a large number of places. The result of these borings has not been disclosed, but the company has recently directed that all the options be closed and the land be pur- chased. It is a good farming country and the cost will be enormous. The options all expire before March 1 next, and prac- tically all will be taken up. This Is re- garded as a sure indication that the bor- ings showed good workable velns of coal. The field is one of the largest in the state, and has been untouched because no rallroad company has ventured into it. Political Aetivity. During the present week there will be much more political activity than last week. Governor Cummins closed the week last evening at Marengo with a good meet- ing, and Colonel W. P. Hepburn had a 800d meeting at Afton. This week the re- publicans will have Governor Cummins, Senator Allison, Senator Dolliver, John L. Webster, N. E.

The law in regard to nominations is specific in prohibiting one who has par ticipated in a primary election of party taking part in another and makes such participation prima facie evidence of fraud. Now o nomination by petition is in the same position as a nomination by pri- | mary election. 1t is thercfore urged by some that one who has taken part in a pri- | mary convention has no right gage In making nominations ufterwards tc oppose the candidates of the party to which they belong.

Mr. Renner says further that he was given permission by Superintendent Pierce, one of the men under Superintendent An- derson, to take one band of sheep onto the referve, / This permit, which was verbal, was also given td a large number of flock- masters and cattletien. Now the guard- ians of the forest réserve repudiate this permit, says Mr. Rénner. e says he has muiple proof that hig was told to go on the reserve, and. that when the proper time comes he will produce a large number of witnesses 1o prove .that his position in the matter is correct. Mr. Renner will apply for permission from the interior department next vear to &0 on the reserve, but he fears that unless the present injunction ls removed he will be unable to secure the permit. There is no disposition upon the part of the United States court to jeopardize Mr. Renner's interests, and he has been informed that if he secures a permit to enter the reserve, the present Injunction will be rescinded It Mr. Renner fights the injunction there will be some interesting developments, and disclosures that promise to enlighten the public with reference to the conduct of the grazing privileges on the Yellowstone re- serve, S C RS NEW RULE FOR SHEEPMEN Secretary of Agriculture Modifies Late Order Relating to Flocks Wyoming.
