REPUBLICANS TAKE IT ALL Bweep Pothn}h-h Oounty, from: End to End at the Polls. BROOKS REED IS SNOWED UNDER BADLY Sdnsigney Has n Lead of 240 fe to Be Treasurer for Next Two Years at Lezst, Returns. from thirty-five of the forty-one precincts of Pottawattomie county at one o'clock show that theelection of entire ree publican county ticket by ‘safe majority. L. G. Consignéy, candidate for treasurer, who heads the repubMean county ticket, defeats Brooks Reed, the democratic ean- didate, by 240. Figures Include estimates of five missing precincts, computed on vote of that east two years ago. Théy cannot possibly change the result. Reed carried the city by 137. O'Nefll, democratic can- didate for sherift, is defeated by 500, The republican legislative ticket as follows is elected by bandsome majorities: C. G. Saunders, Councll Bluffs, state senator; W. H. Freeman, Belknap township, Robert J. Martin, Valley township; representatives. The blg fight was over the treasuryship. Returns from thirty-five precincts, includ- ing the city give: Consigney, republican, 8,989; - Reed, democrat, ‘8,708 The repub- llean state ticket carries the county by about 800, Vote Was Light, A light vote, even lighter than had,been anticipated, and the large number of scratched ballots were the features of yes- terday's" election in Council Bluffs. That there would ,be more or less knifing by both republicans and democrats had been looked for, but the large number of scratched ballots was wholly unexpected. The main fight was on county treasurer and sheriff and here It was that the scratching was done. Voters seemed in no hurry to go to the polls and the vote polled by noon was un- usually small on both sides. After dinner matters became somewhat more lively, but in many of the precincts at 3 o'clock not a third of the vote had been cast. As usual the heaviest voting was towards evening and the hour before the closing of the polls. Returns show that lttle more than & two-thirds Vote was cast in the city yesterday, as was the case two years ago. Despite the fight waged over' county treasurer and sherift the people genorally appeared to exhibit but little interest in the election and the scenes around the polilng places were of the quietest. There was no electioneering In the vicinity of the poliing booths and it was not found necessary as in previous years to rope off the “dead line.” LOOTING THE PEST HOUSE Th s Who Do Not Miand Smallpox Rob the Emerseney > Hoapital. \ The ity pest house, loceated outside the munieipal Jimits fn Garper township near Mynster Springs, has been looted on sev- eral occasions recently and yesterday the police were notified that thieves had car- ried off the stove and several other ar- ticles of furniture from the bullding. The house, which was fully furnished at the time of the smallpox epidemic in this city, has not been occupled for nearly a year. The thieves commenced by taking away the shutters and some of the out- wide belongings of the place. Then getting bolder they broke into the building and carried away a number of smaller articles as well as most of the bed clothing. Fafl- ing detection they continued to get bolder and’ recently: have carried off most of the furniture, until now but little of the or- igtnal furnishings of the bullding remain. Chiet Tibbits, when advised of the last robbery yesterday, expressed the opinion that the city had better remove what fur- niture is left there to the patrol building or some other place In the city or else secure some person to live In the house and take care of the city's property there. November District Court. The November term of the, district court will be convened this morning by Judge Preston of Cedar Rapids, presiding in place of' Judge Green, who has been com- pelled to go to Chicago to undergo a third operation for the atlment from which he has been suffering for several months., Be- yond the impaneling of the grand jury and the possible assignment of equity cases little, it ia expected, will be done by the court today. The bar docket 18 an unusually héavy one this term, there being 197 equity and 27 law cases. A number of the more im- portant criminal cases, it is expected, will, owing to the absence of a regular judge of this district, be continued until the January term. There is a large number of criminal cases to be submitted to the grand jury and with the cases mow pend- ing the criminal docket promises to be & heavy one. The petit jury has been summoned for next Tuesday, which 1s two weeks earlier than usual. Indications are, however, that but few cases of importance will be tried at this term, although there is a long list of damege sults on the oalendar, the greater number of which are against the motor company. Banks in the Fight. The princlpal fight was on county treas- urer, the banks fakifig an active part in it. The Commercial National bank of this city was supporting Brooks Reed, the demo- cratie candidate, and this, to a consider- able extent, accounted for the many re- publicans throughout the city who scratched their ballots in order to vote for Reed. In the Fifth ward, his home ward, a vigorous fight was made against Ed Can- ning, the republican candidate for sheriff, and this also resulted in many scratched republican ballots in favor of O'Nell, the democratic candidate: On the other hand In several precinots Canning received a number of demoocratic votes, while the democrats also scratched in favor of Dr. Treynor, republican candidate for coroner, and C. G. Baunders, republican candidate for state senator. Owing to the large num- ber of scratched ballots in elmost every precinet returns were slow in coming in and it was past midnight before anything definite was obtainable. The, extent to which scratching was re- sorted to by both republicans and demo- crats can be seen’ from the following figures: First Ward—First preeinct: Stralght re- jean - votes, . 102; { ; scratched, 116. Becond preci republican, 13; straight democratic, o Ward—First precinot: demoo precinct: :w: INTEREST FROM IOWA. republican, straight democratic, 92; 169; ratched, 88 N‘lr"l"‘:h’l Ward—First precinet: Stralght re- publican, 165; straight democrati 106; scratched, 103 Sixth Ward—First precinct: Straight re- publiean, 196 straight democratic, 128; scratched, 76. Ip Knox township there were 214 straight republican votes and 167 straight demo- eratic. Returns up to midnight indicated that the democrats had succeeded in landing their candidate for county treasurer, but that the remalnder of the republican ticket had been élected. At this hour the demo- crats conceded the defeat of O'Nell, their candi@ate for sheriff. In 1901 Willlam Arnd was the republican nominee for treasurer against C. Gelse, dem. Arnd's plurality was 425, L. B. Cou- sins was the republican candidate for sheriff against C. Huber, dem. Cousins’ plurality was 704, Yesterday's election showed that the so- clalist vote in the city is increasing, there being as many as 25 votes for that party polled in one of the precinets. y b sh——— DIES AS RESULT OF ASSAULT John M. Rush of Waterloo Beaten by Unidenth Man Whe Esecn WATERLOO, Ia, Nov. 3.—(Special)— John H. Rush, president of the Swem Gas Machine company of this city, died at 10 o'clock last night as the result of blows re- celved at 6:30 yesterday morning in his office In the Holger bullding. He was near his desk when atacked by an unidentified man, who hit him three times at the base of the brain with a two-inch gaspipe. Ho was found at 7 o'clock, unconsclous, and taken home, Late in the evening he re- galned consclousness and told of the man attacking him, but gave no description. He died shortly after. He was a prominent business man and founder of the Waterloo Traveling Men's association. He was the fatiter of J. Harlan Rush, the well known Grinnell and Princeton sprinter. There is 10 clew to the man who did the deed. It Is not thought be had au enemy anywhere. His money and valuables were untouched. The man escaped through the rear of the bullding.

LOGAN, Ia., Nov. 3.--(8pecial)—Harry Pate, 24 years old, who lives on a farm near Modale, was today adjudged insane, and s to be sent to Clarinda. Insanity runs in the family. Information was filed Ly Charles Pate, ancle of the insane man. DO WE EAT TO0 MUCH? Kiow, bat Fall to Agree on Terminals, While expe~‘ments at Washington are {0 discover the effect on the human system of food preservatives, others by Prof. Critten- den, at Yale, are to determine what quanti- ties of different foods will support active life. Commenting on the latter experiments Dr. Shrady maintains that the majority of people eat too much--especially the rich, “with whom bountiful dinners and sumptu- ous suppers are the rule.” Then follows the time-worn declaration that “man chould eat to live, not live to eat.” Probably it is true that all persons who can by any means do so eat more than is neédful. - Whether more than is good for them depends on thelr s of life, From a moral point of view this is held to be reprehensible. Dr. Shrady observes that “the waste of material under these ecir- cumetances Is worse than wicked, consider- ing the needs of the poorer classes.” This 1s by no means clear. No amount of self- denial at table by the rich would add a single beefsteak or & ple to the poor man's dinner. It is not as though the rich man ©ats up a surplus which would otherwise fall nto the poor man's lap. Hundreds of thousands still have more money than they need, yeot it is not used to feed the poorer, On the contrary, the demands of the rich give employment to many, from the gar- dener to the chef. A large proportion of our rich men began ifs in circumstances which did not allow them to indulge in table luxaries for which |they yearned, £nd it is natural that the first use they should make of their newly ac- quired wealth should be to dine well. Be- sides, eating is the one earthly pleasure of which men do not weary. They become ac- customed to all that wealth can give and other pleasures soon lose thelr novelty, but not even an attack of indigestion with 'its consequences can weaken the desire for the alluring productions of an artistic chef. No doubt it {8 true, as the medical men allege, that high living has a tendency to develop serlous disorders of the kidneys, the liver. the nervous system and so on; but it 18 now practicable to avold these afictions. The rich man may employ a man to take a proper degree of exerclse for him by means of massage and Turkish baths, so that the sumptuous. dinner of yesterday shall not dull the eagerness for today’s banquet. According to Dr. Shrady. people who ean- not afford rich dinners have cause to be gratetul, since clrcumstances Itmit them to the quantity of food their enforced labor enables them to digest. On the other hand, most rich men prefer to enjoy such dinners even at the cost of such penalties as are unavoldable. Tt is not clear what the ob- Ject of the Yale experiments is. People will eat, not according to a schedule from the laboratory, but to the limit of their purses. since life offers nothing more enticing.— Philadelphia Record. A bad cold;agood doctor.

GOVERNOR CUMMINS TO GO TO BOSTON Will Address Merchants of Hab on Subject of Reciprocity at Ba quet to Be Given in His Honor. (From a Staft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Nov. 3—(Special.)—What appears to be n genulne case of riches coming to a family living in great poverty has developed in this city. Mr. and Mrs. James R. Van Horn have received informa- tion which leads thém to belleve that they will soon come Into possession of a share in & vast estate in Oregon. Mrs. Van Horn's name was Shellen- barger and her grandfather had a brother, John Shellenbarger, who left Pittsburg many years ago for the Pacific coast. It was supposed by the family that he was dead and no effort was made to follow him up, but a few weeks ago it was learned by relatives In Peoria that one John Shel- lenbarger had died in Oregon, leaving an éstate supposed to be valued at $10,000,000. Attorneys were secured to Investigate the case and they claim to have found that Mrs. Van Horn is one of elght living heirs entitled to a share in the estate. Thore is a claimant In Oregon who Is yet to reckon with. Mrs. Van Horn is a modest, hard work- ing woman, and her husband is a day laborer. She had been married twice and has one daughter by her first husband. The Van Horns Ifva in the northern part of the city and their little home was com- pletely swept away by the floods last spring. They are now living in a cheap “shack” on the river bank. The family is quite confident that their claim will be established. Banks Were Not Involved. The state auditor today directed a state bank examiner to go to Kent, Union county, to make an Investigation of the Union County Bavings bank there. There 18 no accusation that the bank is weak, but the officers asked that an examiner bo sent to reassure the people. Trouble arose for the bank some days ago when it became known that McClelland Sanders was a bankrupt and the report was cir- culated that the bank held $20,00 of his paper. This proved to be false, as there was only about §2,000 of his notes in the bank. Lewis Linebarger of Orient, who is also president of the bank there, went to ICent and set things right and the Des Motnes correspondent of the bank at Kent today telegraphed abundant credit in case of any run of creditors at Kent. Both the banks at Orient and Kent were reported in good condition, but the trouble arose entirely over a misapprehension as to the debts of Mr. Sanders. Cummins Will Go to Boston, Governor A. B, Cummins will go to Bos- ton shortly and will address the Boston Merchants' assoclation on November 19 by speclal invitation. The banquet will be in his honor and it is expected he will | state again fully his views in regard to reciprocity. He will also go to Washing- ‘ton and meet the Iowa people. Mr. Jum- mins Teturned Jomes today and went to work, 'after a mqnth of hard campaign- ing, in which he, reade more speeches than any other of the tepublican speakers. He does not intend to do much speaking dur- ing the coming- winter. lowa Vicksburg Monuments, The members of the Towa commission on monuments at Vicksburg last week located the Iowa sites for monumengs. Captain J. ¥. Merry, chalrman, reports that the work ,was performed with satistaction. ‘“The plan of the park is to have the federal , “immediately in front of the position held by the various organisations during the slege. This will enable parties driving over Union avenue to see from thelr car- riages the varlous monuments and read the Inscriptions on the same. The-same can also be said of the confederate monu- ments on Confederate avenue, The site for the Iowa state monument is on the elevation & few rods south of what was known during the war as the ‘Railroad Redout,' and 1s one of the most sightly and beautifui Jocations on Union avenue. Nothing was done in the way of letting contracts or agreeing upon any particular designs, that matter being postponed until the next meeting of the commission, which will be held during the early part of the year." Preparing tor Big Barbecue, A table surrounding an acre of land will be bullt for the purpose of feeding the crowds at the barbecue celebration of the opening of the Grand army post November 14. Ground has been secured near the post for use In case the roasting cannot be done inside the grounds. The table will be bullt around the place where the animals are roasted and the sandwiches wil be made and handed out from there: Lieu- tenant General Youns, chief of the gen- eral staff of the army, and General Adna R. Chaffee, second member of the general staff, have written to Captain J. A. T Hull announcing that it will be impossible for them to attend the opening of Fort Des Moines. General Chaffee is to leave that day Guantanamo on Important of- ficlal business, and General Young will not be able to leave Washington, as he mu: remain in Washington In General Chaffee's absence.

The gum trees are equally well known as eucslyptus, or the eucalypts. They are hard woods of remarkably rapld growth and pecullar qualities. Great forests of these trees are being. planted on every continent and especially on this continedt. This important step has been taken largely as & result of the work of Baron Ferdinand von Mueller, gove: ment botanist of Victorla, Australia, who has prophesied that ‘eucalypts ave des- tined to play & prominent part for all time to come. in the sylvan culture ofy vast tracts of the globe.” ‘When the trees are five to seven years old groves of biue gum or manna gum may be cut to the ground for fuel they may be cut every six or eight years thereafter. The yield from each cutting is commonly from ffty- to sevinty-five cords of four-foot wood per acr s 12 Short Stories By such clever writers as: Rebecca Harding Davis; Maurice Hewlett; raser; W. H.

In California the leaves as well as the wood are utllised for fuel purposes. A Los Angeles company is making for market bricks composed of blue gum leaves and twigs mixed with crude oll and the prod- uet s reported to be an excellent fuel for domestic use The entire tree is thus uti- lized, according to a statement of V. B. Cline in the Belentific American. The phenomenally rapid growth of these trees has been demonsirated by ihe groves of Eliwood Cooper, near Santa Barbare, Cal, where the gums planted twenty-five years ago are as large as oaks whose rings show them to be 300 years old. The uses made of eucalyptus timber are remarkably divefse. It enters into the construction of bulldings, ships, bridges, railroads, agricultural implements, furni- ture, barrels and a great variety of minor articles. In Germany eucalyptus ofl is regarded as an excellent remedy for consumption have an effect in benefiting the atmosphere in the reglon of thelr growth. The reasons are: WFirst, thelr great capacity for ab- sorbing molsture from the soll and thus re- ducing the quantity of stagnant water in the ground at their roots; nd, their corresponding power of glving off fresh from their foliage the water thus taken up; third, the exhalation from their leaves and other parts of volatile oils, which af- fect the climate not only directly, but by changing the oxygen of the atmosphere to fourth, the purification of germ-in- matter by the follage dropped upon the ground.—Chicago Chronicle Get Jall Sentences, A county jall sentence of twenty-eight days was meted out to Charles Hill, Harry Haben and Bert Hill, young men who lately to the Cllr from the imterfor of the for the alleged theft of 147 pounds of ire from the power house of the Copper wire fro Efim l:‘k‘:fi: & Power n—v‘z cam state, i s ot .l.
