In the event of County Auditor Innes de- elining to publish the official ballot for the general election next month in the demo- aratic newspaper having the largest ercu- Iation in. Pottawattamie county Chairman ¥. W. Miller of the democratic county cen- tral committee announced yesterday that He would take the matter Into the couris ‘with the purpose of securing an order com- pelling the county auditor to do so. Chairman Miller called upon County Aud- ftor Innes yesterday and insisted that the latter publish the official ballot in the Jourral-Herald of Avoca as belng the democratic paper having the largest circu- lation in the county. Mr. Innes decined to give Mr. Miller any assurance that he would do so and Mr. Miller, after insist- ing that under the law Mr. Innes was com- pelled to do #o, left the court house threat- Mr. ening to bring Mr. Innes into court. Innes declded to take no action in the ter one way or the other until he had con- sulted with County Atiorney Killpack, who was out of the city yesterday, Last year the offical ballot was published by the county Auditor in the Council Bluffs Nonpareil and the Walnut Bureau, two re- publican papers, but this year Chairman Miller of ¥he democratic county central committee says it will be published in a demoératic papey and contends that he has the law on his'side. The statute goyern- ing the publication of the offictal) ballot provides that the county auditor shall, pr.oc to the general election, publish it in two newspapers in the county, selecting if pos- sible, papers representing the political par- ties which cast at the preceding general election the largest number and next larg- est number of votes. This Chairman Milier contends gives the county auditor no option in the matter, while Mr. Innes, on the other hand, takes the position that the statufe ls not mandatory. The proprietor of the democratic paper, the Journal-Herald of Avoca, is persona non grata with the county authorities, and- last spring was denled the contract to publish the proceedings of the board of supervisors. Publisher Beymer of the Journal-Herald went into court and secured a verdict in his favor, the court ordering the board to award him the contract for the publication of its proceedings. Mntters in Distriet Court. The Omaha & Council Bluffs Street Rall- way company has succeeded In effecting a settlement with Chris Peterson, who sSe- cured a verdict against the company for $13,600 for the loss of both arms in an ac- cident on the motor bridge across the Missouri river three years ago. The com- pany had taken the case up on appeal to the supreme court, but in order to end the litigation has, it is sald, paid Peter- son $10, in full settlement. The records of the district court show that the judg- ment obtained by Peterson has been re- leased. Henry Storm, who was seriously Injured by the breaking of a cable on the dredger at Lake Manawa in October of last year, has commenced another suit against the Omaha & Council Blufts Street Railway company, in which he asks $10,000 damages. Attorney John Lindt, who brought suit in a local justice court against Pottawut- tamie county to recover $61.25 alleged to be due him for wood delivered the eounty in November, 1900, under the contract then held by him, has appealed to the district court. Justice Carson, before whom the suit was tried, found for the county. The suit brought by Lindt followed the re- jection of his claim by the Board of SBuper- visors. ‘The controversy between Dr. A. H. Carter and 8. M. Roberts over the division fence between their properties has resulted in a suit brought in the dstrict court by Mrs. Lizzie M. Carter against Mrs. Nancy Rob- erts and Mrs. Mercy Fifield to have the division line now in dispute established. Ratd Boyw’ Club, i Late Tuesday night the police made rald on the quarters of the 'White Owls, an organization of boys who had their meeting place In a room of the old Plerce street school house. The boys fled on the approach of the officers and the latter confiscated about a dozen packs of play- ing cards, several stacks of poker chips, a small library of dime novels and the secretary’s books, which showed that the boys had been paying dues of ten cents a week to the club. The rald was made as the result of complaints from residents in the neighborhood who sald the boys were nolsy and kept them awake at night. No arrests were made, as the boys took flight through the windows and sought the safety of their home: Arranging for Big Rally. 1t the attendance of & prominent speaker can be secured Chairman Wright of the republican county central committee will arrange for a big rally for the east end of tho county at Carson some day next week.

Relative to the political situation in the east of the county Dr. Plerco sald that the farmers were as a rule so busy that they had little time for politics. The only thing necessary, he #ald, to Insure a sweeping repul jority on Nevember 3 would be to get the vote out and a big rally would tend to enthuse the voters in his section of the county.

SPEAKING CAMPAIGN ON IN EARNEST Supreme Court Decides That Agents Must Pay Taxes on Forelgn Money Held for the Pur (From a Staft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Oct. 2L.—(Special.)—Repre- sentative B. E. Sweet of, Bremer county, Third district member of the republican state committee, 18 in the city and cox- sulted with Chairman Spence and the state committee in regard to the political muddle in the Bremer-Butler senatorial district No basis of settlement has as yet been reached. The convention nominated the wrong man and the state election or bal- lot board refused to allow the name of the nominee to go on the official ballot. The state officials hold that the only course is for the committes to call the convention together again and have the balloting done over again. If this is done it is certain that E. W. Soesbe, who had & majority of the conventibn, will be nominated and that his name will go on the ballot. But a wrangle has come up as to whether the former committee shall act, or the present committee, and whether or not the committes may not fill the va- cancy. In the meantime the dem: are making an active canvass for the elec- tion. This week the republicans are having a list of about fifty speakers on the stump in the state and generally good meetings are reported.. Governor Van Sant of Min- nesota 1s making speeches In the eastern part of the state and this evening he spoke at the river town of LeClaire, where he lved moct of his life. Becretary Shaw is to speak in Leon next Monday after- noon and in the evening in Ottumwa and then go east to take part in. the campaign in Ohlo. The democrats announced that they have secured Hon. G.

A case came from Davenport of this kind and the court held that the money being sctually in the state must be assessed here and as the owner is not here the agent will be | properly assessed, The following are the court declsions of today: William Rudd against Morris M.

Carroll Wright, attorney for the Rock Island, states that there is no doubt about the building of the Rock Island extension from Winterset to Greenfield asd that there | is no intention to abandon that project, He has no explanation to make of the fact that | all work has been stopped and the con- tractors have gone away. The work was progressing nicely when an order came from some source to stop and the contract- ors quit right in the midst of thelr busiest scason. The right-of-way was purchased and all the detalls completed, and it was expected the line would soon be finished.
