MANY VOTERS
ARD Registered
1858 of 1904 Qualified Oh
Saturday
No Doubt That The Republican Party
Has Majority Of The Men Quail
fed

Returns from Saturdays registration
show that 4.693 city voters qualified,
which brings the total registration
for the three days up TO 1904. This
is an excellent showing for an off year.
TWO years ago being a presidential
election year, the registration on the
first three days was over 10000, but
this would not be a fair time to take
for n comparison, and the politicians
are comparing the registration of this
year with that of four years ago, when
there were similar conditions existing.
The figures for four years ago were
but a little over 5000 for the three
days. so that the registration this year
is much better than the one four years
ago. There are still two days in which
men may get registered, but those who
did not register on the three days in
August cannot vote at the primary
elections OF any Of the parties.
IL is admitted that most of the men
so far registered are Republicans. The
Democrats appear to have been unable
to get out their men, and unless they
can make much better showing in the
remaining two days they will have lit
tie chance against the Republicans in
the coming contest
There was some trouble Saturday
night over the Department of Elec-
tions requiring the registration officers
to make oath to the correctness of
their books before Notary Public Hugh
c. Browne, who had been engaged for
the purpose. What the officers object
ed to was being compelled to pay 25
cents for the purpose of swearing that
their books were correct. and after q
time the department agreed to accept
the books without an oath, and the no
tary went home.

COURTHOUSE BEGUN.
Work on the New Polk County Strus-
ture in Des Moines Conn
menced

Work was begun in Des Moines on
the new Polk county courthouse.
While this apparently has only local
Importance, really it is a matter Of
state wide interest. Not only is Des
Moines the capital of the state, and
proposes to erect a courthouse of a
fourth of the value of the capitol
building, but the time of the state
supreme court has been taken up, in
no inconsiderable measure, for the
last four years with litiga ton con-
corning this public improvement. At
its special session just adjourned,
the court closed up the litigation, as
a finality, and declined even to rein
state single injunction which was
dissolved by it at the October term,
pending ruling on q petition for
.rehearing in one branch of the case.
This declination had not been effec-
tive Is minutes when the supervisors
of the county signed up contracts
for 100000 worth of work on the
building. The prospect of securing
this structure compensates the city
in measure for the chagrin of pos
sible loss of the 100000 army post,
located here by congress, whose con-
dition is now decidedly precarious.
Inability of the city of Des Moines
to furnish water for the post is the
principal ailment with which the
proposition is affected. When an
army board of retired officers, in
Guiding Gen. L. S. Otis, who was so
long in command in the Philippines,
came out to inspect the grounds Of
fered by the city for a location for
the post, his clerk took down all the
promises of the city's representatives
in short hand. The officers seemed
to be good fellows, and not very par
ticular about things, so the local
committee imagined that the city
was about to enjoy immense advan-
tages in dealing with the govern
ment. The awakening came when
the board reported in detail to the
war department every promise made
by the city, including one to lay
water mains Az miles to the post
and another to have steam railroad
built to the grounds. The latter diff
ticulty has been adjusted, but the
$4,000 expenditure necessary to get
water to the post has stumped the
army post committees and the city
government. The war department,
which doesn't think the post is q
requisite, insists on the promises be-
ing kept before it spends any money
in improvements. The water COM
pany of the city declines to build
the mains out of its own pocket. The
mayor has refused to permit the
council to lend the $4,000 necessary
to the water company. Congress-
man Hull, who is most interested, is
sick in bed in Washington. Diseour-
agement as to the post reigns in
| Des Moines.

LIABLE FOR MULcT TAX.
Decision Important to Wholesale
Houses Handed Down by Judge
Brannan.

An important decision has been
handed down by Judge Brannan, of
the district court, at Muscatine,
wherein he declared that wholesale
and jobbing house handling ciga-
rettes and also doing retail bust
ness is liable to the assessment of
mulct taxes. The case is entitled
Herman Gremmel ct al. versus Mus
catine county ct al. Gremmel is
wholesale dealer and contended that
because of this the tax did not fall
upon him. He further claimed the
assessment was 4 transgression of
the interstate commerce law. After
the assessment was made he filed a
petition asking temporary injunc-
ton to prevent the sale of the prop
erty. This was granted, and he then
asked that it be made permanent.
Here the county filed demurrer,
asking that the temporary injunction
be set aside. The county claimed
that the firm also did retail bust
ness and came under the provisions
of the law. The decision carries with
it the assessment of similar taxes
against several other cigar houses in
Muscatine.

TO BUILD ELECTRIC LINES.
Object Of Organization of Capitalists
Headed by State senator
Lyons.

An organization of Cresco capital
lists, of which Senator Lyons is the
head, has in view the construction of
two lines of electric road, one run
ming south and the other west from
that city, and making connections
which will make transportation on
interurban lines all over the north
eastern part of the state possible.
The company is to be incorporated
in the spring and surveys made.
One line II to be surveyed in a south
easily direction to New Hampton,
thence south to connect the line
which is now being extended north
from Waterloo to Denver. This will
give direct connection with Water
loo with district which is now
reached only by roundabout way.
The second line will run west from
Cresco to Elma, on the Great West
ern 10 Usage and thence to Mason
City. The propositions for these two
lines are thus far only on paper, and
no active work will be commenced
until spring. In the meantime the
