From almost complete re eturns from fifteen counties and estimates from sixteen additional counties, Davis majority over his opponents will probably fall in the neighborhood of 35, ,OOO.
 Reports continue to show that Davis was scratched throughout the state, and it may be that he will run behind the rest of the Democratic nominees between 10000 and 15,OO0 votes. A significant fact that will more than likely be demonstrated in connection with the election is the showing made by Geo. H. Kimball, the Prohibition candidate, as com pared with the vote on the license question:. It cannot be denied that the "For License" people made great inroads in prohibition territory, while on the other hand it is equally plainly evident that Kimball will receive a far greater vote than his most ardent supporters had hoped for. The con- clusion to be reached, therefore, is that numerous Democrats voted for Kimball in preference to Davis.
 There is no longer any doubt that amendment No. is lost.
 A tie in the vote for representative in Independence county is of great interest because it may affect the vote for United States senator on joint ballot in the legislature, as the independent representative would not be bound by the instructions of his county at the recent primaries.

Every one thought that the late election
settled the hose business and settled it
effectually, but The Beacon, in its usual
laundering way wants it stirred up again
Now few facts for the information of the
tax payers. At a meeting of Council, a resolu-
ton was offered and carried by vote of 5 to
I, that the fire committee be authorized to
purchase GOO feet of hose. Nothing was said
about the price, nor quality. Amendments
were offered to reduce the quantity, and to
purchase some special make, but the five who
voted for the original motion voted the
amendments down. After council adjourned,
the five were met by the party who manipu-
lated this end of tho deal, and am told they
seem to be satisfied that everything came out
as planned.
The order for the hose was given to the
Consolidated Rubber Co, of Trenton, for the
Huron" brand, al 81 cents foot, with three
years guarantee, and to stand a pressure of
400 pounds, notwithstanding that they had a
bid of so cents foot for a better make of
hose, directly from the manufacturer, to
stand II pressure of 100 pounds, and guaran-
tee of five years
The hose from Trenton WAS finally shipped
here for trial At the first test none of the
at a lower pressure 1t was then claimed that
the washers were too thin and they said they
would secure thicker washers, which was
done, but with no better results in another
trial; in fact this trial showed not only that
the couplings were defective, but one section,
under pressure of 800 pounds, burst in the
center Then the Consolidated Rubber
Company asked that all of the hose be re-
turned to Trenton, as they wanted il to be
satisfactory. This request the chairman of
the fire committee refused to comply with as
to the five sections at the Hibernia house, but
the seven sections We're shipped to Trenton.
Finally the Consolidated Rubber Company
reported that the hose was i'll a iirst-class con-
dtion and ready to be returned for another
trial On the arrival of the hose, another
trial was made, but before doing so, the agent
said they had sent the city a hose made
differently and thought it would give entire
satisfaction Upon testing the seven sections,
it was shown That two sections would not
stand pressure of 800 pounds without leak
ing, making sections, or $50 feet that have
not come up to the contract.
The Huron" brand of hose is quoted at 80
cents net per foot, the city paid 50 cents n
foot Now, Mr.. Editor, why should the city
pay any one a commission of 81 cents n foot
for hose, when they pay spot cash for every
thing they buy?
The above facts are familiar to Chief Arnett,
and how can he explain his letter to The
Beacon when he says this hose is as good, if
not better. than the city has ever owned" |
understand he denies writing any such letter,
II that is the fact, why does he not compel
The Beacon TO retract?

A Good Recommendation,

81 have noticed that the sale on
Chamberlain Stomach and Liver
Tablets is almost invariably to those
who have once used them" says Mr..
j. II. Weber, prominent druggist of
Cascade, Iowa. What better recon-
mendation could any medicine have
than for people to call for it when
in need of such remedy? Try them
when you feel dull after eating, when
you have bad taste in your mouth,
feel bilious, have no appetite or when
troubled with constipation, and you
are certain to be delighted with the
prompt relief which they afford. For
sale by s. W. Cochran.
