it is next to impossible to leave here
and go anywhere to transact business

WASHINGTON, Nov 5.-Adjutant General

ceived the following letter from Miss Helen
Gould, dated November @:
"If the matter commends itself to your
good judgment and you have not already
taken an interest in the Roberts question,
l hope you may feel willing to do so. Mr..
Roberts, it seems, has at least three wives,
and advocating the principle he does, he
should not, we women think, be allowed to
have a seat in the highest lawmaking body
OF our land. We realize that what we think
cannot carry tho weight with congressman
that communication from voters would have
and we earnestly hope that men who SYM
pathize with the movement will be will
ing to write to their congressman or cir
culate petitions.
81 have never before taken any active
part in any political question, but this
movement is for the protection of the home
and of women throughout the country and
am glad to use the little influence l have
for what 1 believe to be a righteous cause.
trust you will pardon me for troubling you,
but you soldiers have been so good to me
l am venturing to call your attention to a
matter that interests me deeply. Enclosed
you will find some OF the leaflets on the
subject issued by the League for Social

Preparations for the election to be held
Tuesday will be completed todaN Voting
booths have been located to the best pos
sible advantage and are doubtless known to
every one. The polls will open at o'clock
in the morning and will close at 6 o'clock
in the evening. These hours differ from the
city election in that at all city elections the
polls open at o'clock in the morning and
close at Z o'clock in the evening. 1t is
understood that all OF the employees OF the
great corporations here will be given an
opportunity of voting some TINA during the
day The work will be so managed that
the men will each be allowed at least one
hour off duty in order TO enable them to
vote.
1t was reported on the streets yesterday
that a policeman doing duty in the Fourth
ward gave it out cold that no one would be
allowed in the booths to watch the count.
The officer has evidently been misinformed,
as this question is plainly decided on page
SS of the Nebraska election laws. Section
10 on the page mentioned reads as follows:
Before any ballot shall be deposited in
the ballot box the ballot box shall be pub
licly opened and exhibited and the judges
and clerks shall see that no ballot is in
such box; after the box shall he locked and
the key delivered to one of the judges,
IL snail not be again opened until the ClOSe
of the polls; and the ballot box shall not
be removed from the view OF the electors
present until the polls are closed and all of
the votes shall have been counted and can
vassed; nor shall two of the judges be
absent from the room or building in which
the election Is held, at the same time,
during such voting and canvassing."
Those who have thoroughly canvassed the
local situation are not backward in predict
ing a good, big republican vote. One we'll
known candidate who is in close touch
with all the different nationalities said
yesterday that it was mistake to think
that the Bohemians were going to vote the
fusion ticket. This conclusion had been
arrived at by conversation with a number
of prominent Bohemians. One of these Bo-
hemian leaders said that in his opinion the
majority of the Bohemians would vote the
republican ticket. 1t was admitted that
Bohemian politicians had been trifing with
the fusion leaders, but when 1t came to
not kept the pledges made to the Bohemians
and consequently the vote would be the
same as it has been in the past, principally
republican.
few changes in the total registration
will doubtless be made when the books are
returned to the city clerk and the footings
gone over again for verfication. The
change, however, will be slight probably
not more than dozen all told. and this
will make no real difference in the total
as reported in Sundays Bee, which was

FISH THANKS ENGINEERS
President of Illinois Central Pleased with
Work on Fort Dodge Line,
FORMER MAYOR SWIFT TO BUILD DEPOT
He Has Also Secured the Contract for
Building the Depot at Dcnison-
To Commence Running Trains
in Two Weeks.

Now that the entire track between Council
Bluffs and Fort Dodge on the Fort Dodge &
Omaha railroad has been laid the company
expects to commence running local freight
trains by the 18th of this month. No at
tempt to put on q passenger service will be
made until the work of ballasting the road
is completed and the track in Hrst-class con-
dition. Should the weather remain good,
so as to permit the work of ballasting TO
continue at the present speed, passenger
trains will be running into Council Bluffs
over the new line by the first of the year.
Tho work of ballasting the track is at
present proceeding at the rate OF one -and-a "a
quarter miles per day. Some thirty con
struction trains are at work laying the
gravel and five immense steam shovels are
scooping the gravel out of the pits.
President Fish of the Illinois Central has
written a personal letter thanking the en-
| gneers and all persons engaged in the con-
struction of the new branch for getting the
tracklaying done with such remarkable
quickness. In his letter he says the time
made in laying the track makes new
record in railroad building. Special thanks
are extended by him to Chief Engineer Sloan
and G. Il. Grafton, engineer in charge of
| the construction of the road.
| Although no formal announcement has
been made yet by the company it is under
stood that former Mayor Swift has been
| awarded the contract for building the COM
| panys passenger and freight depots in this
city. He also has secured the contiic, for
| building the depot at Denison. The time OF
| commencing work on the depots here is un-
certain, owing to the claims set up by the
Lake Manawa and East Omaha Construction
company to a right-of-way on Avenue at
! the point where the company intended to
erect its passenger depot. 1t is said how
ever, that negotiations for a settlement be-
| tween the two companies are now pending

Iowa COlOrcd Man Sufficiently Old to
Recall Death of Washington.
MASON CITY, Ia, Nov. 5.-(Special.)-
The recent death OF Jesse Bracken in this
city at the age OF 100 years and five months
recalls the fact that there is living in the
city at the present time a man who has
reached the advanced age of Ill years. This
Is Henry Boone colored man, who is
making his home with his daughter, Mrs.
l.. W. Tyler, on Water street. Mr.. Boone
was born in slavery in the state of Vir-
ginia June 7. 1888, on the plantation OF
a rich Virginia planter named Sandals He
was slave for seventy-two years and was
never sold from the family of his original
master. When his first master died he
went to Arkansas with Mrs. Blunt his
masters daughter, and remained there until
he was liberated by General Curtis, by whom
he was brought to the north. Mr.. Boone
is in remarkably good health and bodily
tinually. He retains his memory splendidly
and can remember distinctly the news Of
the death OF George Washington, as he was
at that time II years OF age.
In the old slavery times the marriages
OF the slaves were arranged entirely to suit
the convenience OF their masters and Mr..
Boone has had eight wives, nearly all OF
whom were sold away from him TO some
other estate. He is the father of thirty-two
children by his various wives, four OF whom
are the children of his last wife, whom he
brought north with him and who died about
twelve years ago. Two OF these children,
Mrs. l.. w. Tyler and Mrs. f. l.. Palmer
are residents OF this city. At the time OF his
second marriage Mr.. Boone was 20 years
OF age.
