EXPECT FUSION IN SOUTH DAKOTA
Three Conventions VIII he Held IA
Aberdeen Today.

ABERDEEN, s. D., June 21.-The state
conventions of the %populist, democratic and
free silver republican parties will meet In
this city tomorrow. The total number OF
delegates allotted to all parties is 2,649, al
most equally divided. 1t Is probable that
1900 will attend.
1t is regarded as certain tonight that the
fusion arranged between the populists and
democratic leaders will prevail. II. l.
Loucks, father of the populist party in this
state, is still fighting fusion, but admits his
defeat.
In the fusion arrangements the populists
will probably get the governor. both con
gressmen, lieutenant governor, secretary OF
state; the democrats, treasurer, attorney
general and auditor, and the free silver re-
publicans, commissioners of schools and
public lands.
1t is conceded that Governor A. e. Lee
and Congressman Kelly and Knowles will
be renominated. Morris Taylor will be re-
nominated for treasurer. Other nominees
are in doubt.

Mrs. BelI'nEer Asks Her A1inlOny.
The attorney for Mrs. Emma L. Bellinger
filed a petition in the district court yester-
day asking for an order directing the ex-
animation Of DR.. Fred p. Bellinger as to
his property. In the divorce suit brought by
Mrs. Bellinger against her husband she Sc
cured judgment November 1, 1896, for 81, 900
and $50 per month alimony. The s. 1000 was
to be paid $500 at the end of eighteen
months from the date of the judgment and
the remaining $500 in two years. The petit
ton alleges that the judgment has never
been satisfied and that DR.. Bellinger is con-
cealing his property to evade payment. The
petition also asks that DR.. M. j. Bellinger
and his wife be compelled to produce all
the books and records pertaining to the
partnership that existed between the two
doctors. This partnership. according to a

The annual report of the Council Bluffs
public schools submitted at the meeting of
the Board of Education Monday night shows
some interesting figures. The whole num-
Der of school days for the year was $50 and
of the total number of pupils enrolled,
which was 4, LISP, there were 271 who never
missed a day and 1929 who attended 100
days. During the year five pupils were sus-
pended for bad conduct and there were sew
, enty-nine cases where 1t was found neces-
sary to administer. corporal punishment.
The average daily attendance for the year
was 3,407.
The number of pupils not tardy during
the year was 1864, but as an offset against
this were no less than 1886 cases of tar
diness reported. The figures showing the
birthplace of the pupils reveals the fact that
most of the children are natives of Council
Bluffs, no less than 2,3O6 of the ASP en-
rolled having been born in the city. OF the
remainder, 1,012 were born in the state out
side of Council Bluffs, ten in Great Britain,
twenty-five in Germany and 112 in other
foreign countries. Ireland only claims one
pupil, while of eighty the birthplace is UNI
known. OF 1856 of the pupils the parents are
laborers, 6S5 railroad men, 1884 mechanics
and 1874 merchants. Clerks have 22S children
in the schools and there are thirty-two
children whose mothers are laundresses
and forty whose mothers make a living by
sewing. The parents of twenty-four chill.
dren are classed as artists and twenty.
three as saloonkeepers. Boarding house and
hotel keepers are represented by ~ffty-sis
children and the parents of 1,041 of the
pupils are classed as miscellaneous,
