FOURTEEN HUNDRED ADDED TO THE LIST Demoeratic Central Committee Makes an Effort to Placate the Friends of O'Neil, Candidate for Sherift, 3 The politiclans were working overtime yesterday and there was more politics to the square inch on the streets than there had been since the opening of the cam< paigh. The candidates and party leaders seem to realize that there was no time to be lost with the election only three days oft and every one was busy. On most of the street corners were to be seen groups of men discussing the situation and wherever a candidate happened to be, whether re- publican or dmocratic, he had his crowd with him. Another cause for the activity yesterday was the fact that it was the last day for registratiom and both parties were doing their utmost to get every voter registered. As a result of this work the registration was heavy and at least 1,000 names were added to the lists, making about 1,400 nam registered during the three days, of regis- tration. Reports from nine of the twelve precincts of the city show the following registra- tion: Total Three Days. 151 34 First ward: First precinct Becond precinct . Becond ward: Firat Baturday. . 208 L8 recinct . 109 First Second preeinet . Placating O'Nefl, In order to counteract the suspicion that the democratic central committee was trad- ing O'Nell for Brooks Reed, Chairman Mil- ler has Issued a circular in which he gives O'Netl a boost by saying the following: “The courthouse would seem more like home to us if we had ‘Jimmie' O'Nell in the sheriff's office, Brooks Reed as treasurer, the bright and energetlc Warren L. Rankin as county superintendent, flanked by Sylvester Dye and J. P. Maxfield, two of the solidest men in the county, on the Board of Bupervi- sors.” It will be noticed that evidently to appease the wrath of O'Neil's followers the candidate for sheriff is given the place of honor in the list of those whom Chairman Miller thinks would make the courthouse “homelike” if elected. Brooks Reed, the democratic candidate for county treasurer, followed up his ap- peal to the members of the Eagles lodge to support him, by issulng yesterday a cir- cular letter to the members of the Elks lodge, which reads as follows: “Dear Sir: We both being members of 531, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, I hope you can see your way to givl me a vote Tuesday, Novembar 8. I am a candidate for the office of county treas- urer.” g This is the first time In local politics that a candidate for any office has made direct use of his membership in fraternal organi- zations to boost his candidacy. LOCATION OF VOTING BOOTHS, City Clerk Experiences Some Difi- culty in Securing Suitable City Clerk Phillips completed yesterday the list of voting places for the election next Tuesda Owing to the scarcity of vacant stores and other suitable buildings, Mr. Phillips experfenced more or less dif- ficulty this year in securing places for the booths.

The Novelty Bargain store on South Main street, conducted by Meyer Pearlman and Frank H, Burk, was closed yesterday and placed in the hands of a receiver under involuntary bankruptey proceedings brought in the United States court here by the Hansell-Stevens Shoe company of Chi- cago and other creditors. E. E. Adams was placed In charge of the store as re- celver, after furnishing a bond in the sum of $5,000. It is estimated that the llabil- ities will amount to close upon $10,000. The proceedings were brought about, it is alleged, by the discovery that Pearl- man, who has hall the active management of the business, was shipping out the stock. Goods alleged to be a part of the stock, now in the freight depot of the Illinols Cen- tral In this city, were attached yesterday and are being held to the order of the receiver. . Meyer Pearlman, who then conducted the Novelty Cloak store, was forced into bankruptey in December, 1901, by his cred- itors. Judge Green Unable to Preside, Judge Green left his home at Audubon yesterday for Chicago, where he will un- dergo another operation for the allment which has prevented him holding court far the last two months. He notified Clerk Reed of the district court yesterday that he would be unable {o be here next Wed- nesday to open the November term of court but that he had been able to make ar- rangements with Judge J. H. Preston of Cedar Rapids to preside in his place, Judge Wheeler will hold court Monday in order that aliens seeking registration papers may be able to obtain them. Is Reed Unfair?t If it's an offense for a candidate to solicit votes by letter I want to repeat the offense publicly and reiterate my invitation to all Eagles, Elks, friends or foes, to give me a vote; in tfact, anybody that thinks I have ability and honesty eriough to fill the office of county treasurer.
