He Was Shot Twice While Resisting
 Arrest

Inmates as to overwhelming republic
an pluralities in Iowa have not been

committee may be slightly larger
than the official count will show, but
it appears certain that the plurality
will not fall below 100000
The state ticket kept well up with
the. national, and the congressman
benefited by the landslide. The
greatest surprises in the congression-
al contests are in the big victory of
Rumple over Vollmer in the Second
district and the increase of the vote
of Congressman Thomas in the Eley-
enth district.
Hedge in the First dictrict is now
known to have 5000 plurality: Rum
pie in the Second, 2,S40; Henderson

BIG ELECTION BETS.
$4,000 Estimated to Have Changed
Hands in This CITY On Election,


A conservative estimate on the
which changed hands in Ottumwa
on the result of the election yester-
day is placed by those who know at
$4,000. Much of this was placed on
the district, the democrats seeking
odds in the way of certain plurali
ties before betting on Steck. Over
thousand dollars was put up by re-
publicans that Lacey would carry The
district by 900 and 1000, while
several hundred dollars were waged
that Lacey would have from 100 TO
300 plurality in the county. There
were also several large bets made
that Bryan would carry more states
this year, than were carried by Nc.
Kinley four years ago than Mckinley
would carry states this year that
were carried by Bryan four years ago
1t is also an open secret that the
saloon men and gamblers made a
hard fight against the election of D.
H. Emery, as county attorney, and
several hundred dollars changed
hands yesterday during the day that
Hendershott would be elected. In
fact the saloon men and gamblers OF
the city are out several thousand
dollars, and one of their number in
particular is said to have lost nearly
$4,000 himself.
In fact it is said that men bet
literally this year who never made
an election bet before. SO intense was
the fever, while those republicans

ness men are said to be richer today

Des Moines, Nov. S.-The result on
the Titus amendment, providing for bi
ennial elections, is uncertain, owing tc
the act that the vote was taken on 6
separate ballot, and no place appears
on the official report for entering fig
ures concerning it, consequently the
result cannot be ascertained until next
Monday when the official count takes
place. Where officials took the pains
to note the result there is heavy vote
against it, and unless returns yet tt

sition will be defeated.

War Against Germs.

The management of the Rock ISLAM Il
railroad has declared war against germs.
It has adopted plans for campaign for
the determination of all disease breeding
microbes that might stake temporary
claims on the various properties of the
company, and it will lose no time in car
rying out the plans. The deodorizer will
be the weapon it will and the amuni-
tion-deatll dealing disinfectants-will be
fred into cars, offices, stations and shops
The war will be waged an all parts of
the system and those who will direct the
campaign declare that cessation of hos
tilities will not be ended until there is not
germ left to fly flag of truce and the
ations is precluded- After much expert
menting the management of the road has
adopted hermetically sealed and auto
matte and economically distributing dis
infectant. It Will be placed wherever
germs are likely to lie in wait for the un-
suspecting public. Special attention, it
is said, will be paid to quarters set aside
for emigrants.
This is what an official of the road has
to say upon the subject:
There will be no germs of disease or
bad and offensive odors lurking around
the Rock Island property after the plans
are carried out. Railroad properties are
hard to keep clean but we believe that
our road will be the acme of hygienic
cleanliness after a short time. A great
deal of money will be spent in carrying
out the plan
