PRIMARY LAW NOT STARTED.
No Instructions Will Go to Judges to
List Voters.

Des Moines, Oct. 7.-There will not
60 to the judges of election in Polk
county any instructions relative to the
listing of voters and classifying them
with regard to political preferences
this year.
The new primary law for Polk
county provides for such classification
of voters before they can vote at the
primaries. But the provisions are not
tc be applied until notice is formally
given in the county by publication.
This publication has not been given,
so far as known at the office of sec.
rotary of state, where the instructions
are prepared for the voters.
When the new law was passed last
winter the Polk county republican
primaries had already .een held, and
there was no desire to apply it then.
But there will be primaries next year
unless the biennial election amend
ment is adopted. Before the voters
can take part in a primary they must
make choice of parties to which they
wish to belong. The Independent
voters are to be cut out
No steps have as yet been taken to
put the law into effect

Bank is Recovered.
Council Bluffs, Oct. 10.-Sheriff
Canning gave out a statement last
night that Saloonkeeper Karl Karrer
has made a partial confession to him
of the Treynor bank robbery. Acting
on this confession, the sheriff says
that he has recovered nearly a third

home in Treynor, where Karrer was
tracked by bloodhounds and arrested
Friday night. The officer also claims
that he will recover the remainder of
the 81 500 taken by the bandit today.
The officers do not now believe that
Karrer's wife had anything to do
with the robbery. She did not visit
him at the Jail here, but Miss Rose

hours in his cell. 1t was at the Olde-
rog home where Karrer is said to
have remained in hiding the night af-
ter the robbery.
No other arrests have been made in
