incident Monday. The vote was
large and much interest manifested.
The result was the election of A.
-. Grant, End ward; Chas. f. Rath-
man, 3rd ward; John Tunstall, and
Horatio Kelly, 4th ward; Chas. Nc
iElroy was reelected in the first ward.
The following is the vote by wards: !:
First ward, c. E. McErloy 80; G. E.
Lyman, 80; second ward, A. D.Grant.

C. f. Rathman, SO and VIM. Stone,
IL; fourth ward John Tunstall 78;
81. W. Kelley, 81, L. B. Niemeyer,
43. The provision for the band passed
by a large majority. -
i In Justice to both Mr.. Lyman and
sir. Boynton, who, consented with
reluctance to become candidates in
the first and second wards it can be
said that they personally made no
effort for their election. Those who
supported them were confident that
they would make useful and efficient
members Of the council and regret
their inability to succeed. Both
gentlemen are probably very we'll sat
isfed over the result, and do not
mourn the escape from a good deal of
hard work and customary adverse
criticism. In the fourth ward the
only contest was that between Horatio
Kelley and Louis Neimeyer. and in
Justice to the latter it should be
said that he was not in the city
when the nominations were made,
nor present at the election, and that
he made no effort to be elected.
His friends were not in some in
stances, certain as to his desires,
and it was persisteLtly repeated that
he was not candidate, all of which
tended to detract from his vote.
Mr.. Kelley is a large property own
er and both himself and Mr.. Tunstall
who were elected from the fourth
ward will no doubt I'll the bill to the
satisfaction of their constituents.
The same can be said in the third
ward in regard to Mr.. Rathman, who
xas nominated while out of the city.
and ran solely at the solicitation of
his friends. His election by an over
whe]ming majority showed his popu-
larity with residents of the ward.
The main issues discussed in the
campaign were from purely financial
standpoints, and the voters have had
Skefr attention brought to certain
affairs of the city that probably
would not have beer done at this
time, had not a contest for aldermen
taken place. .-a s

"Under this system" said Mr..
Pearson, protection against collisions
is safeguarded by the watchfulness of
the block signal operators and the
care of the trainmen, an error requlr-
ing the concurrent oversight or care
lessness of two signal operators. A
train cannot be admitted to or releas-
ed from block without the know
ledge of both operators, one at either
end of the block. If one operator
makes an error the other will detect
it, and the natural conditions under
which the men work make it practi-
cally impossible for both to make the
same mistake at the same time
Where we have used the system we
have found it remarkably efficient.
"Train schedules, train orders and
rights are governed by code OF

MANY EXHIBITS ARRIVE
Displays Received BY the Carload at
Lewis and Clark Exposition and are
BEING Stored In Finished Buildings.

VI VASAAo3 OASss AA0A" - AOV''s
During the past two months exhibits
for the Lewis and Clark exposition,
opening June 1, have been received
by the carload daily. The cars arriv-
ed will aggregate to date nearly 200
loads. OF this number twenty-five cars
were consigned to the United States
Government, containing principally
the Alaskan and part of the Fisheries
display. Possibly fifteen cars have
been received for the American Inn,
containing fixtures and furniture.
OF the remaining cars, approximately
sixty were consigned to individual
exhibitors and the balance to the
exposition company.
AS rapidly as is practicable the cars
arc being unloaded and the exhibits
stored in the finished buildings,
where in the near future they Will be
unpacked and assem- bled in the var
ious exhibit structures. Hundreds Of
the displays have been shipped to
Portland intact from St. Louis. In
many instances, however, the exhib-
its have been supplemented with new
features. ...... ..a...-....- .....
An odd sight is presented to the
visitor to the European exhibit build
ing. In this monstrous structure are
stored more than fifty per cent of the
displays. Along its walls may be
seen enormous piles of cases contain
ing exhibits touching the rafters at
some points. In the center of the
building is third pile Of exhibits
equally as large. Here is seen great
case containing a sample of ore
weighing tons, and there loom the
parts of some great booth or one OF
the boats for the Life-Saving station
on the government peninsula.
Entering the, European building
the visitor sees on bis right, and ex-
tending along the wall of the struc-
ture for several hundred feet, part
of the California display. Scrutiniz-
ing the exteriors of the cases, the
visitor NAV discern that they contain
non-perisha ble agricultural and horti-
cultural displays, wines, preserved
fruits and fancy olive oils. Far off in
remote a corner is seen a century
tree, that peculiar member of the
plant kingdom which blooms but once
in a hundred years. This will be an
interesting feature Of the California
exhibit. There are palms and cork
trees and the cacti, as we'll as a
number of great cases that are stenc-
lied to the Mines and Metallurgy
building to represent the mineral
wealth of the "Golden State"

are stored the exterior wood work for

That "Tsxes Reduced" fake.

The Capital in its issue OF Saturday
night attempted to show that the
city taxes had been reduced by giving
the amount paid for city taxes for
general purposes on lot IL, block SO,
the old Alert building, and stated
that what was true Of that piece Of
property was true Of all alike thruout
the city. The statement was made
that the general oity taxes on the
property was Al per cent less in 1904
than 10 was four years ago, and quot
ed figures showing the general city
tax'' paid In 1901, 1902, 1908 and 1904.
The trouble with the statement: was
this, that In 1903 the treasurer separ-
sted the school-an the city tax and
they are now figured in separate
columns on your tax receipt. In
1901 and 1902 the school and the city
tar were combined In one amount.
In 1908 and 1904 they were separated.
A reference to the tax receipts on
that piece Of property ahow that the
city general taxes for 1900 were $50. SO,
in 1901 they were e4.30. In 1902 the
general city tax was ss4.79. To 1908
the school tax vas about half the city
tax and for 1904 just half. As the
figures for the city tax alone were
quoted by the Capital the conclusion
was given out that city taxes were
lover In 1904 than 10 previous years.
Anyone consulting their city re-
Eceipts for the last four years will find
that their city taxes. which includes
city general and, school taxes. have
not decreased, but increased.
The article In the Capital was pub
lished late Saturday evening so that
no reply to the same, showing up the
falsity Of the conclusion, could be
made until after the election was
over. y. .5

IMPROVE IOWA LINES
Rock Island Will Spend 100000 on
improvements to Its Iowa Lines This
season-Part of Plan Of War on In
terurbans.

Chicago, July 27.-Arrangements
have been made by the Rock Island
road for expanding $2oo0,OOo during
the present year on the improvement
of it's Iowa lines.
Part of the principal work decided
upon is the elimination Of some bad
curves near Des Moines, Casey and
Avoca. The heavy grades east of Des
Moines will be greatly reduced. On the
main line Of the southwest division, the
track between Washington and Center-
vile will be Strengthened and i'm
proved.
The main line is to be double tracked
from Iowa City to Valley Junction and
other needed improvements are to be
made.
BY building the double track, the
Rock Island will be enabled to aug
ment its train service in Iowa, carry
ing its war on interurbans, real and
prospective, with greater vigor than it
is able to do with it's single track.
The Improvements are part of the
plan to enable reduction in time in
passenger schedules which will make
the road a competitor for United
States mail contracts now held by the
Northwestern and the Burlington.
1t is understood that a new fast
passenger train between Omaha and
Chicago will be soon installed, the train
leaving Omaha two or three hours la
ter than the present No. 6. 1t is said
that the passenger train service of No.
6 is SO heavy that the train frequent
Nv has to be run in two sections.
