The vote on the county ticket is clear
evidence that a large number of people
believed that the county had been rob-
bed and holding the Republican party
responsible because they were in power
in the majority of the offices, voted &C
cordingly. That they were honestly
mistaken we firmly believe. The Dem
ocrats took full advantage OF the oppor-
tunity. Overchsrges have no doubt
been made by several officials in the
Court House in past years, uut we think
that when the whole affair has been
sifted to the bottom it will be shown
that no political party is to blame and
that men of all the different faiths are
alike guilty. Further, no one can ques.
ton the honesty or integrity of the Re.
publican candidates, and if they had
been elected, would have served :the
county as honestly and faithfully as any
OF their successful opponents. Howey.
or the platform of both parties and the
entire campaign was run on the conduct
OF county officials, and nothing put a
speedy prosecution of all the officials
against whom overcharges are claimed
and an economical administration of the
county's affairs will suit the people. To
this every official in the county is nov.
pledged and none can ever again plead
ignorance or precedent if any overchar-
ges are made in the future.

Would it be unreasonable to suppose
that the 81 COO secured by Probate Judge
o. Il. Hughes by mortgaging his chat
tel property was used to corrupt voters
to secure his election. 1t is said that he
loaned the money to friend (?) and of
course it is nobody's business what the
friend (?) did with it.

Every candidate on the Democratic
ticket spent more to be elected than
they can honestly make out of the Office
the first year. Never in the history of
the county was as large amount of
money used to corrupt the voters as at
the last election by the Democrats. The
supply seemed inexhaustible. In some
precincts as high as 81 head was paid.

Davenport Negro Will Swing at Ana-
X nl0sa December I.

Anamosa Journal: The presence of
Sheriff Macarthur, of Scott county, in
Anamosa revives interest in the case of
Charles Stegal, under sentence of
death and in confinement at the Ana
mosa prison awaiting execution for
murder, the date for which has been
fixed for December next, at an hour
to be determined by the sheriff be-
tween 10 O'Clock midnight and, sunrisE
In conversation with an Anamosa
Journal representative Mr.. Macarthur
stated that no efforts were being made
at Davenport, where Stegal's crime was
committed, looking to a respite or
Communication of sentence for the con-
demned man, and that the execution
would in all probability take place at
the time now fixed for it. If Governor
Shaw. intcrvenes to commute StegaPs
fate to a term of life imprisonment it
will be entirely upon his own motion,
the people of Davenport being unani-
nous in the opinion that the extreme
penalty of the law is the only adequate
punishment for Stegnls crime.
This execution, if consummated, will
be the first to mark the history of the
Anamosa penitentiary, and the first le-
gal hanging in Jones county for that
matter. The statutes require that the
death penalty shall he administered
within the walls of one of the state
penitentiaries after the condemned has
been confined therein for period of,
not less than one year from date of
sentence, and that the execution shall
be under the immediate supervision of
the sheriff of the county in which the
crime for which sentence was imposed
was committed.
Stegal is a colored man and his VIC
tim was also negro. They quarreled
over a woman. Stegal finally lying in
wait for his rival. assaulted him with
! a knife, inflicting numerous frightful
wounds in his back and finishing the
murderous work by severing the Jug
ular vein of his victim, who bled to
death in the street in the presence Of
| numerous witnesses.
Stegal was quite well known in the
colored circles of Cedar Rapids, hut was
Accounted worthless character by all
who knew him and the elimination of
his career was no surprise to his ac-
quaintances here.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

SACRAMENTO, Oct. 2.-The party OF
mining engineers to-day, after having
breakfasted at Colfax and seen the opera
ton of hydraulic mines, went to Auburn
for brief luncheon and welcome at noon,
and the late afternoon and evening were
spent in Sacramento. A visit to Dutch
Flat was also one Of the features of the
day. When the party landed there it had
a splendid scenic view of q stretch of
mountainous country over which great
white and red scars visibly traced twenty
three miles Of ancient river channels
along which the hydraulic operations of
a generation ago f1ourished.
The visitors saw the only operating
hydraulic mine in all that region.
This was the Polar Star hy-
draulic mine, controlled and superin>
tended by William Nichols Jr. This
is the dry season, but 2000 inches or
water were turned on for an hour to
enable the miners to fully operate two
8-inch nozzles In the pit, while the crowd
wondered and admired and took snap
shots. A kaleidoscope man took the
scene to display at the Paris Exposition.

vast possibilities of hydraulic mining re-
naming in California.
AT Auburn the speeches attending the
luncheon were specially felicitous. At Sac
ramento the Crocker Art Gallery and SUIT
ter's Fort were first visited, and after
dinner the party assembled in the Capitol
building which was open and lighted
throughout in honor of the visitors. A
very pleasant season of speech-making
attended the assemblage of the party in
the State Library.

local prohibition legislation in the town

for the parents of California to send
their children to the State University

action would be taken in other Califor-
MIA towns. Mrs. Miller, in her response
to the welcoming addresses. mentioned
Sacramento as the seat of Senatorial
scandals and deadIocks, and spoke of
the rapid growth of temperance senti-
ment in the Capital City. She said that
much had been done, but that much re-
mained to be done, and spoke of the
pure native wines and brandies as an
evil to be combated. She said that
these wines were leaving a track of sin
and devastation, and that appeals to
those in high places fell on deaf ears.

sion all the week

ALAMEDA TAX CLAIMS.
Agreement Arrived at Between Dali
ton and Colgan.

SACRAMENTO, Oct. 2.-State Con-
troller Colgan and Henry Dalton Assess
or of Alameda County, have entered into
stipulation to the effect that in the
pending tax settlement with the Treasurer
Of Alameda County the item Of poll taxes,
which is the matter in dispute, can be en-
tirely eliminated from the settlement
without prejudice to either party to the
suit. The stipulation was filed in the
County Clerks office to-day and under its
provisions the Controller can proceed
with the settlement with Alameda Coun-
ty, the poll tax receipts being held out
until the matter now pending in court is
settled.
The Assessor claims that under the
county government act of 1897 he is enti-
tied to 15 per cent commission on the poll
taxes collected by him, while the Con-
troller contends that. as the same act
provides HIM with two deputies to col
leCt poll tax in lieu of commissions, there
is no extra compensation coming to him.
If Dalton wins his suit he will gain about
$4,000 in commissions on taxes which it
cost him nothing to collect.
