Special to Times Republican
Iowa Falls. Aug. 3.-The church bells
in the city of Eldora will ring as in the
days gone by. and with the same regu-
larity will summon the good people OF
that place of worship. This time hon
ored custom was threatened with
abridgement by an ordinance passed
by the city council but veto by the
mayor killed the measure.
Some time ago the matter was agi-
tated on the prohibiting by city ordi-
nance, the ringing of the church bells,
the reason being that the close prox-
unity of one of the bells to The city hos
pital annoyed and disturbed the pa
tients. AS result of this agitation an
ordinance was introduced in the city
council and going thru the formality of
it's three readings, was voted on and
adopted. Mayor Ellis D. Robb announc-
ed at the time that he would veto the
measure and in due time his veto was
presented together with his reasons for
his position in the matter. The motion
was made to pass the measure over the
mayors veto. but 1t lacked the neces-
sary votes and 90 was killed. The

Union, Aug. 3.-Hardin county poll
ties, which have been more or less In a
state of unrest since the recent county
convention, are not even yet running
along so smoothly but that the leaders
are worrying some over the probable
outcome at the fall election. There is
still considerable talk to the effect that
a. w. Mitterer, the present sheriff, or
Tom WEIGH, of Iowa Falls, who was
defeated by a narrow margin at the
primaries, are going to run independ-
emily. 1t is not likely both will, but
many think that one or the other will
undoubtedly come out on an independ-
ent ticket against Tom Scurry the nomi-
nee. Mitterer has already refused to
would not go back on the party, but
number of his friends are bringing
much pressure to bear upon him, and
say that he would not be violating any
party principles by running independ-
emily. 1t is thought by some that If
either Mtsterer or WEIGH does decide to
run independently, the democrats, at
their county convention, on September
1. will not nominate candidate. but
rather endorse the independent candi-
date.
In the supervisorship there is every
reason to believe that great effort will
be made to defeat Herman Granner, the
republican nominee, and present sup
ervisor, because of his alleged con-
nection with the tax ferret case.
