I SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.


Preparations for the election to be held
Tuesday will be completed today 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 o'clock
in the evening. These hours differ from the
city election in that at all city elections the
polls open at 9 o'clock in the morning and
close at 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 IL out cold that no one would be
allowed in the booths to watch the count.
The officer has evidently been misnformed
as this question is plainly decided on page
| SS of the Nebraska election laws. Section
| 10 on tho 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,
1t shall 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 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 beer
arrived at by conversation with number
of prominent Bohemians One of these Bo'
hemian leaders said that in his opinion the
majority of the Bohemians would vote thu
republican ticket 1t was admitted tina
Bohemian politicians had been trifling will
the fusion leaders, but when 1t came t
, a square understanding the fusionists ha
| not kept the pledges made to the Bohemian
and consequently the vote would be tn
same as it has been in the past principals
republican.
few changes in the total registration
/ will doubtless be made when the books ar

change however, will be slight, probabl
not more than a dozen all told. and thi

other estate. He is the father Of thrty-twC
children by his various wives, four OF whom

LIONS SHARE FOR IDA COUNTY
Monona is Not Allowed to Name Either
Legislative Candidate.
sAR-cUMMINS FIGHT CAUSES ANOMALY
strife of Two Candidates for sen-
ntorinl Honors Gives Entire
Representation to Smaller
of Two Counties.

SIOUX CITY, Ia, Nov. 5.-(special. )-The
strife between the Gear and Cummins fac
tions in the Monona-Ida legislative district,
in the attempt of the candidates for the
United States senate to secure this dis
trict favorable to their candidacy, has re-
suited in a condition of things highly un-
satisfactory to the people Of Monona county,
irrespective of political belief by reason Of
the fact that both republican and democratic
candidates have been chosen from Ida
county.
Under the last apportionment of the legis
lative districts by the legislature, Ida county
was attached to Monona, as is alleged by
the populistic and democratic parties in
Monona county, for the purpose of securing
a republican legislator from this district
Monona county for many years has been the
hotbed of populism and the populists have
controlled the county by quite large ma
jorties, though in late years it has been
gradually decreased. Ida county, on the
other hand, has frequently given repub-
lican majority and it is claimed that 1t was
attached to Monona county for the purpose
of overcoming the populistic majority If pos
sible. rather than in compliance with con-
stitutional requirements, popularity supposed
to govern in such matters. Election after
election has CUHl0 anu 5"hO anu popuiiSl Noh-
didates have been elected from Monona
county.
MOnOnn Feels Slighted.
Aside from the matter of politics,
1t is claimed. Justly or unjustly, that
the legislator should come from that
county, inasmuch as under the ap-
portionment Monona would be entitled to
a representative of it's own. IL the same
rule was applied to it, as is applied to other
counties with like population. Ida county
| at the time Of the passage of the last ap-
portionment act only had population OF
| II, 600, and now, owing to the fact that both
the leading political parties have chosen theil
| candidates from Ida county, it furnishes
an example of the tail wagging the dog tt
| such an extent that it is highly unsatis
| factory to the people of Monona county.
Under these circumstances, the candidac!
| of Nathan Lindsey. midde-o -the-road pop
ulst, for the legislature in Monona count!
has developed unexpected strength. Th
fight which Is now in progress has beel
largely stripped of it's political character b.
reason of the fact that many of the leading
politicians of the county, irrespective o
party. have identified themselves with hi
candidacy and 1t is now conceded by thos
who have kept themselves in touch with tn
political situation in this district that h
will poll vote largely in excess of tha
usually given to candidates of his party.

Tidal Wave.
The crew Of the British bark Banda
neira while on the shore OF chill, pass
ed through a frlshtful experience with
a tidal wave. and which. had II not
been for the most remarkable interven-
ton on the part OF nature, would have
left the bark high and dry mile from
shore.
The Bandsneira sailed from fqulque,
March Is She had loaded there a car
go Of nitrate for the Dupont Powder
company Of this city. This town is
practically the center Of constant
earthquakes. An observation station Is
maintained there from which warnings
are sent to masters Of vessels before
they leave port The barometer had
been low from March 10. but Capt.
FAINT struck boldly out fof the Horn.
During the next two days the barome-
ter dropped still lower and It was ev-
ident that a fearful hurricane was
brewing. The crew besought the cap
tain to return to Iqulque, but he re-
fused.
we are already three days on our
way" he said, and we are all right
yet In all probability the worst is
over now
His assumption was wrong. however,
for at noon the following day an i'm
mense wall 81 water apparently nine
miles to the westward rolled down
slowly upon the bark. As slowly she
commenced to drift toward the coast,
seven miles to the eastward
Capt. Fant's vessel is at Whining
ton now. She came up the river yester-
day. and his story is thrilling one.
Apparently the tidal wave was about
100 feet In height and had an area OF
twenty miles IN almost a complete cir
Gle. It advanced rapidly, but the bark,
keeping ahead. reached the shore line
FIRST. The coast at this point was fiat
for nearly two miles inland, terminal
ing abruptly at the base of almost per-
pendicular mountains. Capt FAINT is
sure that the BandaAeira approached to
within 100 yards Of the rocky walls.
then apparently only two miles behind.
Just at the moment when hope was
gone the bark suddenly changed her
direction and receded from her appar-
emily inevitable fate.
An immense waterspout suddenly de-
seloped many miles away. and its in
fluence changed the direction Of the on
rushing see. The Bandaneira was
thrown on her beam ends and drawn
almost directly into the vortex OF wa
tiers. Two hours later the sea had re-
sumed its wonted aspect, leaving the
bark uninjured.
Capt. FAINT is positive that great
damage must have been done the YES
sells which were directly in the track
Of the great tidal wave. The matter
has been reported to the Photographic
Office and further reports are being
awaited.
