Police Make Raids Among Liquor Sellers
Near the River.
Charles Clements and Fannie Clements,
his wife, were raided Saturday night for
selling liquor. Their arrest on this
charge is not new sensation with them,
but on the contrary, the police think they
ought to be able to recite the liquor war
rant from memory by this time.
Mr.. and Mrs. Clements have operated
what they term 'sclub' in Booge's flats
on East Crane street. 1t ought to be
called Booze's flats. They found one keg
OF beer tap and some more kegs on
ice ready for use.
At Clements house on Crane near
Quincy, two bottles of beer and some
whisky were found and Mrs. Clements
was arrested.
Later the house of Anna O'Hara, the
last one on Smoky Row, being next to the
Kansas avenue bridge, was raided. A
keg of beer was found in the kitchen,
and all three of the violators of the Muir
ray law were taken to the police head
quarters. Their cases have been contin-
ued until Saturday.
Much of Smoky Row is now in the
tolls of the law. Two jointists have
just lately paid out, three still in,
and five are out on bail. Chief Lindsey
says the rest are coming.

The above is the list of Republican
candidates nominated at Saturdays pri-
maries. The returns in are not entirely
complete, but enough is known to show
these candidates are the nominees.
Fl. c. Stafford received majority over
A p. Jetmore for county attorney of 643
in the city, and the vote in the country
increases that majority.
The vote on probate judge was divided
between seven candidates J. g. Wood
led, with John L. Guy close second in
the race 1t is possible that the count
ing of the official returns by the county
central committee will change the result,
but Mr.. Guy has given up the fight and
admits the nomination of Wood There
were less than thirty votes between the
two in the city, but Woods vote in the
country will undoubtedly give him the
nomination.
The contest for the nomination for the
Office of clerk of the district court was
clearly between E. NJ CockrelI, who is
nominated, and DIR. A. NJ. Callahan, who
received a very large vote. This was
surprise to many old politicians. The
other three candidates had about the
same strength. Chesney fell below what
was expected of him.
Wright, the present umbent, was re-
nominated without opposition. He re-
ceived the full party vote.
For representative in the city district
Col. Geo. w. Veale was nominated over
Mr.. r. B. Welch by an even majority of
400.
The vote was as follows: Veale-Sec-
ord ward 500; Third ward 476; Fourth
ward 399; total 1.470 Welch-SecOnd
ward 2O7; Third ward AT; Fourth ward
416; total 1,O70.
For county commissioner T. P Rodgers
was nominated over J. Lee Knight by a
clean majority of 1893 Mr.. Rodgers
majority was more than twice and al
most three times as large as Knights
vote. The vote on commissioner in de-
tail was as follows:
dgers-Second ward 577 third ward
707; Fourth ward GIG; total 1900. Knight
Second ward 173; Third ward III;
Fourth ward 157; total 5O7.
In the north representative district A
G. Sherman was nominated over G. A.
Starbird by large majority.
At ? o'clock this afternoon Secreta ry
c. ID. Watson of the county central COM
mittee had received returns from every
precinct in the county except Linn
Greek.
The returns now in which can not
be materially changed give J. q. Wood
plurality of 20 votes over John l. Guy
for probate judge and E NJ. Cockrelrs
plurality for clerk of the district court is
increased to about go.
Harry Safford's majority for county at
tOrney has been increased by the returns
