The Huesing>abattoir Injunction case
is occupying the attention of Judge
Glenn in the circuit court TODAY, and the
arguments are likely to keep the court
busy for several days. The principal
item Of public interest in the proceedings
so far. was the thirty one affidavits filed
by the city last night chief among
which were the three from the South Rock
Island board Of health, composed of
Thos. Campbell, W. 5. Graham and W.
5. Gardner, in which, upon oath, it is
stated that i'll response TO frequent COM
plants made to the board concerning
Dingledine's slaughter house, the board
visited the institution in August. 1886,

dition, and very offensive. There was an
accumulation of offals and excrements
from animals, from which foul odoT
eminated The floor was smeared with
blood, and the whole interior was in an
uncleanly and filthy condition. The
chute used to convey the offal from the
premises was clogged with the deposits,
and had evidently never been cleaned.
Outside there were two hogsbeads. into
which heads and feet of animals were
thrown, and were when seen, mass of
maggots, a most offensive sight and
from which eminated an unbearable
stencil. Hogs for slaughteIing purposes
in the pens near by, were feeding
on the entrails of dead animals,
and cattle in the adjacent pens

and appeared to be in great distress.
Tie report of the board is of such ma
ture as to nauseate one to reads it and the
above is but the most important portions
of it. The board further reports having
visited Buncher's slaughter house and
trat Of Mrs. John Dietz in May 1886. and
having found both in filthy and often,

nuisances.
Another affidavit is that of DR.. J. II.

Where to Vote.

The question of where man should
vote if he sleeps in one ward, eats in
another and gets his washing done in a
third, has long been a mooted one. II
is the popular notion that man should
vote where he has bis washing done, pro.
viding OF course that he can furnish con
vincing proof that he ever has any done,
which would surely confuse some of the

reward for his interference in behalf Of
his friend received strong blow which

strength, but the saloon proprietor proved
the better man of the two, and Moore

A Farce.

The new election register law in Iowa
was operative for the first time at the
special election in Davenport Saturday,
and though its design may be right, in its
present form it is a farce and nui-
sance, but is characteristic of the repub-
lican methods of legislation in Iowa for
the past five years. According TO it no
ballot is accepted unless the voter has
registered at specified time prior to
each election. The Democrat comment
ing upon the working Of the new law,
says:
There was great change from long
time customs at the polls. No person can
"peddle tickets" or lounge within one
hundred feet of the polls And it was
amusing as well as entertaining to see the
groups of workers and spectators. They
stood generally on the corners, which
were in some places hundred feet and in
other places two hundred feet from the
polls. And every voter that approached
from any direction was met on these dis
tant corners. Well, the most of the cleo
tors who came only to vote and 90 about
their business, took tickets from both
sides; each had full hundred feet to
walk without interference, selected the
ticket he pleased with nobody to see his
choice, and nobody to follow with ap-
peals to change and jerks to halt-aud
nobody to look over his shoulder as he
handed his ticket to the judges. 1t was
a great change, and will be far more in
teresting and mirthful to poll workers
and spectators at the general and city
elections than it was yesterday. There
is little doubt that this provision of the
law will be regarded with general favor.
But the provision as to time of registry
will not be regarded with favor. Yester-
day good number of citizens who were
absent from the city during registration
week and the Wednesday following. were
deprived of the privilege of voting be-
cause they couldn't be here TO register.
Let the registers be open until the even
ing before election. In the Second ward
the votes of two citizens who had regis
tered were refused, because in the copy
ing of the registry to the judges poll book,
their names had been omitted. There was
no alternative-their names were not on
the list at the polls. and they were de-
prived of their votes.
