BURGLARS BLOW Up DANK.
They Play Havoc in breaking Into a
safe with Dynamite.

Council Bluffs. Ia, Feb. 25.-The First
National Bank Of Griswold was entered
by burglars about midnight. They blew
open the vault doors and then
drilled the front door of the
time lock safe. put in dyna-
mite and closed the vault doors. The
charge used was evidently much heavier
than intended, as il totally wrecked the
vault. doing over $3.50 damage to the safe
and building. The noise Of the explosion
was so great that the burglars made
hasty departure. over 800 worth OF
stamps belonging to the postmaster and
S12O in cash are known to have been taken,
and probably other valuables. The burg
lar proof safe inside the vault contained
$40. coo in cash, but this was not touched.
Three men were arrested here this af-
ternoon supposed to have coTpmitted the
burglary. AS they were being led to the
Jail they drew revolvers and fired. One
policeman was badly wounded and win
probably die. One of the thieves es-
capped. One was shot.

sPIRITUALIsTs IN A NEW ROLE.
Case in which One Claims to BE
Minister of the Gospel.


Minister of the Gospel.
Washington, Feb. 25.-An attempt to
force a decision as to whether spirit
ualists" are ministers of the gospel under
the interstate commerce law has been
avoided by the interstate commission in
an opinion by Commissioner Veazey, dis
missing the complaints of Edgar w. En-
erson, a spiritualist minister against the
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific and
Chicago and Northwestern Railway Com
panies, which alleged that the carriers re-
fused to grant complainant a half-fare
permit when they were at the same time
allowing such reduced rates to other min
listers under section p of the act to regu-
late commerce. The ground assigned for
the decision was that the complainant
failed to show that he had made proper
application for the reduced rates, or that
such application would have been re
fused by either road. and the commission
held that the discrimination alleged in the
complaint had not been proved.

The loss is covered by insurance in a
number of companies.

and our home nine last week resulted
in draw. On Thursday the locals
won by score of z to 6. Both clubs
played fine BAH and the game was
very close and exciting. The game

crowd, but some costly errors by the
locals in the second inning gave the
game to the league boys by the score

afterward. The home boys are con-
yinced that they could win two out of

DO you KNOW HOW TO VOTE.
You Think You DO, But it is Doubtful If
You're Right.

The last Legislature made some i'm
portant changes in the manner of
electing councilmen iu fourth-class
cities, There will be no separate
ward elections, but all officers must
be elected at the county precincts.
The charter says on this point: I'm
any city of the fourth-class, which
has now or may hereafter be divided
into wards, the clerk of the county
court shall, ia addition to the ballots
prepared for the state, district, coun.
ty and precinct elections, prepare or
cause to be prepared, a ballot book
for each ward in said city; and if any
ward lies in more than one regular
voting precinct, he shall prepare or
cause to be prepared, for each pre-
cinct in such ward ballot books y
A voter desiring and entitled to a
vote in the city election shall be Civ
en-, by the officers of the election, in
addition to the ballot of the state,
county, district or precinct, ballot
for the ward in which he is entitled
to vote, which ballot the voter will
mark and fold in the same manner
and at the same time, and deliver to
the officers of the election in the
same manner and at the same time,
as is required by the general election
law, which the officers will deposit in
ballot box as fixed by the general
election law. The officers of the cleo
ton will count the ballots cast for
each respective candidate for the city
offices" etc.
1t will be seen that much confu-
sion is liable to result from this kind
of voting. unless the voters are thor
oughly informed. To tell what ward
a voter is entitled to vote in, it is
necessary that voters should be reg
istered in their proper wards as quail
flied voters. A voter may be entitled
to vote for one ticket and not for the
other, since he may have moved from
one ward to another and not moved
out of his precinct. Some idea of the
complications that may arise may be
gathered from the fact that 1T will
take Is ballot books to operate the
seven ward elections in the four pre-
cincts. Precinct No. l. will need
three books, since it embraces parts
of wards l, 5 and 7. Precinct 2 will
need books for wards and 5. Pre-
cinct 8 for wards /, 2, 3, 4 and 6. Pre-
cinct 4 for wards ], 2, 3,6 and 7. 1t
will be necessary for the officers to
decide upon the qualifications of the
voters for both elections and the Off
cial challengers will have their hands
full in keeping the run of things. 1t
will require close watching to keep
illegal votes from being located in |
close wards, and to that end every
voter should be required to register
by wards in the registration Oct. LIST.
Even with this precaution, there is
likely to be much trouble and con-
fusion.

GETTING READY
FOR THE PRESS CONVENTION sEF@
TENDER 20.
The Preparations Well Under Way and NOT
Hitch Expected.

The committee on finances is meet
ing with substantial encouragement
from most of the business men and
citizens, in the matter of entertaining
the Kentucky Press Association Sept.
% and "a. Subscriptions are being
made with the customary liberality
of our people. The canvass of the
city is not yet complete, but enough
has been subscribed to insure the
success of the meeting. AS the time,
approaches many are hunting up the
committee to subscribe Voluntarily
since invitations to both the. ball and
banquet will necessarily be based
upon the subscription list. There
will be reserved for local parties not
exceeding 200 seats at the banquet,
and about $50 of these have BEEN
taken. Those who may have been
overlooked, should lose no time in
getting ON the list. The capacity OF
the banquet hall is limited and after
the list is made up there will be NO
chance to add other names.
Secretary Gaines has already is
sued transportation to 120 press peo--
pie and he estimates the number at.
fully 200. This will insure the largest
attendance in the history Of the as
ISOLATION, although the hangers on
are being rigidly excluded by iron
clad rules. The visitors will be made
up of entirely bona fide newspaper
people and many persons who have
been in the habit of attending under
one pretext or another will be shut
out of the privileges accorded to mem
bers. Under no condition whatever
will the railroads carry anybody to
Atlanta except press people, on the
special train, and they require the
secretary's guarantee that none but
members of the association will be
given certificates or badges.
The Atlanta train will leave early
Wednesday morning, at an hour vet
to be fixed. The ball Monday night
and the banquet Tuesday night will
both be held at Hotel Latham. The,
dining room will seat 200 and the
main ball about 200 more and the,
speakers will be placed in a position
to be seen from all Of the tables.
There will be numerous toasts g5s
the banquet, responded to by some Of
the brightest members of the asso--
citation. There will be no wines ar
the banquet, but there will be nc
lack of good things to eat.
The onl y business session will bs
from 9 to Il Tuesday morning. The
mayor will deliver an address of well
come, which will be responded tc
by President Nall.
