ROBBINS AND BOLIVIAN WIN
Elected Members OF the school Board by
Large Majorities.


The election held yesterday for the
purpose of selecting two memb ers for
the Rock Island board of education
resulted in the choice of Frank f.
Robbins and II. S. Bollman, over
Frank Mixter and c. +. Lynde. The
vote was as follows: Robbins. 1888;
Bollman, 1,154: Mixter, SIS: Lvnde,
500 total of 1855. There were
105 scratched tickets. About 500
ladies cast ballots.
There was but one voting place, at
Prick d Kautz' barn. on Third ave-
nue.. The election passed off quietly
and apparently with the best of feel
ing among the contestants, there
being no material issue at stake.
The handsome majority received by
Mr. Robbins is no doubt a source of
qualification to him, endorsing as it
does his several administrations as
the representative of the people on
the school board. Mr.. Bollman was
ably supported by the east end of
town, where he lives.
The judges of the election were
George Eckhart, George Solander and
Henry Ehrhorn, and the clerks, Don
b. Shaw and II. 5. Powars.

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.

New York, Aug. 27.-The bears mani
Tested considerable confidence that re-
action in the prices of stocks was due
today and they sold at the opening ad-
vance and carried prices at one time ma
terially below last nights close. They
hau on their side a disposition by many
holders to take profit. But the demand
was so considerable as to absorb all Of
1erings at the decline and the bears were
forced to cover quite heavily, lifting
prices sharply above the lowest and in
many cases above last night. The drop
IN sugar at the opening was an unset
tling factor and a determined drive
against Peoples Gas firmly knocked off Il
from the price of that stock. 1t was evil
dent also that there was an abundant
supply of stock of the Changers and of
Northern Pacific to be had on any con-
siderable advance in prices. A number of
prominent stocks showed vigorous resist
ahce TO the declining market and were
potent factors in cffecting the rally. Most
conspicuous were the Union Pacific The
common rose rs on the opening demand
ana sold down nearly n point on the re-
actlon The preferred stock was firm
above last nights figures. The closing
was somewhat irregular, some stocks
showing effects of renewed buying while
others suffered from continued profit
taking. Total sales, 2S7. 900 shares
