HEAVY BETTING In ELDON REPORTED
Everybody Appeared to Want to Place
Their Money on cremer-Estimated
About $4,000 Changed Hands as Re-
suit of Yesterdays Race.
[From Wednesdays Dally.l

[From Wednesdays Dally.]
Probably the heaviest betting was
done on the result of yesterday cleo
ton that has been seen in Ottumwa
for many years. It is said the heavi-
est bets centered on ore man, how
ever. Harry Cremer, the republican
candidate for sheriff appeared to be
the man whom the democrats believed
they would defeat, and from all ap-
pearances considerable money was
placed that way. 1t is estimated that
in Ottumwa and Eldon nearly $4,000
was placed against Cremer's election.
1t is said that James d. Gray, the dem
cratic candidate, backed himself very
Heavily, while his brother, John w.
Gray, also placed several hundred dol
lars. 1t is said that George Cline and
Gary Schmidt, two well known demo-
Gratis of this city placed about $1,000
on Gray.
1t is estimated that about $4,000 of
this money was placed in OttumWa,
and the other $1,000 in Eldon.l 1t is
reported that nearly every man with
any sporting blood in his veins in FL
don had some money placed on Crem-
er. 1t is also said that several demo
Gratis in that city backed Cremer very
extensively, and that good part of
the money won on Cremer in Eldon
was won by democrats 49,.
In this city it is said the money won
on Cremer was split up among large
number of his followers. The repub'
lican money did not seem to come
from few, but apparently many plac-
ed small wagers on the result
and in this manner 1t was spread over
considerable territory. Several lead,
ing republicans from the country are
said to have added to their bank &C.

IS IN A FERNENT
State House Wondering About APP
pointees.
PATRONAGE At CUNlINS' DISPOSAL
List viii Be Quite Lone-Said But
One Is Promised and That's to John
6riar, Who will be Private Secre-
tary.

Des Moines, Nov.6.-The state house
is in a ferment to know who will be
the appointees Of the new governor.
Ever since the Ceuar Rapids conven-
ton, candidates have been springing
up about the state for some of the nu-
merous Offices at his disposal.
Governor Cummins will have quite
long list of Offices ut his command, and
so far as known but one has been
promised. This is the private secre-
taryship, which will so to John Brian
OF Des Moines. formerly in charge OF
literary bureau at the republican
state headquarters. In addition to q
private secretary, Mr.. Cummins, will
have The Appointment for his own Of
nee OF pardon secretary at a salary
OF $1,000 year, a pardon clerk, re-
QUESTION clerk, sterographer and an
usher.
The most important appointment to
be made early i'll the next governors
term will be that of a member OF the
board OF control to succeed Judge l..
q. Kline. whose term ends in April,
1902. The general opinion is Judge
Kline will be reappointed. Next to
this Is the appointment Of an adjutant
general to succeed Melvin H. Byers,
whose term expires in January, 1902.
ne adjutant general receives a salary
OF $4,000 and his term is two years.
Adjutant General Byers is a candidate
for reappointment, and there are sew
eral other candidates. They are Capt.
w. III. Thrift. of Dubuque; Capt. w. E.
CAN'T, of Sioux City, and Col. II. H.
Caughlan, of Ottumwa. There has been
some mention of Gen.James Rush Lin
coin, but it is said he will not be a
candidate against General Byers.
An appointment will have to be
maue OF democrat on the state phar.
macy commission to succeed Fletcher
Howard, whose term ends April 30
1902. 1t is the general belief Mr. How.
ard will be reappointed, but he will
have no little opposition. J. S. Goss
of Atlantic, has begun d campaign fol
the office, backed by a number OF
Ninth district politicians. He has the
support of S. B. Morrissey, of Harlan
the democratic committeeman from
the ninth district and is also said &C
have the favor of some of the republi
can politicians in his locality. A sec
rotary of the pharmacy commission tc
succeed Charles w. Phillips will also
be appointed early in the term of the
next governor. Mr.. Phillips friends
expect he will be reappointed.
The bureau of labor statistics offers
quite a fruitful field for speculation. II
is understood G. T. Wennerstrum, the
present state labor commissioner, is {
candidate for reappointment. A. f
Holder, deputy state labor commission
er, is frequently mentioned for the
place and has the support of many O
the labor organizations.
Dairy Commissioner Norton will MOI
seek reappointment and there is al
ready much talk as to who will sue
coed him. Representative R. G. Clarl
