IOWA TRUE TO ITS RECORD
No Fears Entertained of Any Disaf-
fection of Republican Vote in
Havkeye state.

DES MONIES, Nov. 2.-(Special. )-There
is no question about Iowas republicanism
this year. 1t is safe by at least 1000 una
jority and though Chairman H. o. Weaver
of the republican state central committee
refuses to make any estimates or give out
any figures he intimates that he will be dis
appointed If the Hawkeye states does not
report to the nation at least so 900 majority
The democrats have practically conceded the
state but they hope and claim that they
will cut down the republican majority. A
number of their speakers have stated that
they would cut down the republican ma
jority to 10000 and that seems to be their
only hope.
Governor Shaw will be elected for a second
term and there is no question about the
election of the entire state ticket. Some of
the democratic speakers have been claim
ing that Governor Shaw has defended the
trusts and they hope to cut him down on
that charge, but the republican leaders be-
lieve that with all the opposition he will
still lead the ticket.
The legislature elected will be strongly
republican. The party leaders are figuring
on eighty members of the house for a GER
tainty and thirty-fve members of the SEN
ate, thus giving them vote OF 1l5 on joint
ballot, a gain of fifteen. Ten of this gain
will be made in the house and Ave in the
senate.
Chairman Weaver OF the republican state
central committee says: II am pleased with
the outlook The organization We have per-
fected has worked faithfully and am con-
fident that 1t has been efficient. If the pre-,
cinct and township works accomplish wha
they expect the result can be nothing bu
very satisfactory. l would rather not max,
any estimates on the majority. Suffice 1
to, say that believe Iowa will do her duty
Chairman Huffman of the democratic com
mittee says: THE situation for the democ
racy of Iowa is very bright AT this tim'
II is difficult to say what Whites majort!
will be. We have every reason to be sat
isfed."
Chairman Weeks OF the middle of the
road populisto says that his party will shov
good gains and that the real populists O
Iowa will show that they are still very mucl
alive.

WOman in Want.

Mrs. William Bishop, young woman with
a 2-year- old baby, was given shelter at the
police station last night. She said that a
little over two years ago she was married
in Iowa City to a man named William
Bishop, who shortly after their marriage was
convicted and sent to the penitentiary at
Anamosa for forgery. After his convc-
tion she learned that he had another wife
living. Mrs Bishop has been living in
Omaha for nearly two years, supporting
herself and baby by doing housework. The
woman with whom she lived, at pip Clark
street, broke up house preparatory to going
to Virginia to reside and Mrs. Bishop came
to Council Bluffs, having been told that
there was a home here for unfortunate
women She said she was without money
or friends.

CRATER CAUGHT IN THE ACT


Arrested While Ostensibly Soliciting
In Behalf of Iowa Soldiers.
George w. Stowe a young man and
stranger in this city, was arrested yester-
day afternoon, charged with obtaining money
under false pretenses.
Stowe recently arrived here from Sioux
sporting places of the town. Becoming
short of cash he evolved the idea that the
Homecoming of the Iowa soldiers would form
a good basis on which to work a scheme
to repenish his depleted pocketbook. Yes
terday afternoon he started out to make a
round of the business houses and solicit
10-cent subscriptions for the purpose of pro-
viding the soldier boys with coffee as soon
as they reached Council Bluffs.
Despite the fact that all arrangements
for the entertainment Of the regiment are
in the hands of committees composed of
we'll known citizens Stowe found no diff
Guilty in working his little scheme and would
have probably realized several dollars If
Police Sergeant Bergman had not pounced
down upon him while in the act of soliciting.
OF the first five business men approached by
Stowe not one refused to donate the dime
asked for and he was on the point OF secur-
ing another 10 cents from the sixth when
the hand of the law grasped him.
When searched at the Jail the only money
found on him was the five dimes he had Sc
cured and a subscription list Stowe ap
pears to be about 90 years of age and is
we'll dressed. He raised considerable objec-
tion to being placed in the cell with the
common prisoners, as he termed the other
inmates Of the bastile.

Under Mental Alteration.

Appears in Court While Laboring
Under Mental Alteration.
Mrs. Patrick Gallagher, who said she
lived on High street, accompanied by her
three small children appeared in Justice
Terriers office yesterday afternoon and
poured forth a tale of woe such as had
never before been heard by the officer OF
the law. She said she wanted the protection
of the law and a warrant for the arrest of
a man whose name she did not know and a
prominent attorney of the city
According to the weird story she told,
the man and prominent attorney in ques-
tion were possessed Of evil ways like the
witches of New England in the early days
of the century. The man she said and a
bad" woman We're in the habit of meet
ing every night in q barn on the lot ad-
Joining her house and all night long the
man would whisper to her (Mrs. Gallagher)
so that she and her children could not
sleep.
The prominent attorney she said would
do the same thing, but as he was better
educated than she was, she could not un-
derstand what he said. The attorney, she
also complained, had cast a spell upon her
! children and she was afraid he wanted to
| kill them. BY his spell and whispering from
the barn he had so crippled the youngest
child that he was unable to walk ana the
eldest, boy, had become so sick that he
was unable to attend school any longer
| AS she told this story to the justice, the
i womans eyes fairly snapped fire and she
pointed to her offspring as if to confirm it,
/ However, when she left the court the three
little ones toddled after her, evidently in
the best Of health and complete refutation
OF the woman's strange charges.
! Mrs. Gallagher further told the justice
that as she was leaving home to make her
| complaint, the man who owned the adjoin-
ing lot followed her and whispered" tc
her, telling her everything that she was
| going to say to the justice.
At this point Justice Ferrier became firmly
convinced that he was dealing with woman
who was either completely insane or suffer
} ing from strange hallucinations. Anxious
to get rid of her he sent her with note
y to Assistant County Attorney Kimball tell.
ing her he was the proper officer to issue
the warrants for the parties who were per.
scouting her.
Armed with the note Mrs. Gallagher lait
| siege to Attorney Kimball. A few minutes
! talk with the woman convinced him she
was not in her right mind and he advised
her to go home and If she was bothered
any more with the whispering he salt
he would have the men and the bad woman
arrested. With this assurance Mrs. Gal
lagher, leading her three youngsters b.
the hand, left the court house.
