Des Moines, June 16.-The Hull

the prospect that the ultimate decision
will have to be made in the courts. AS
a result of the recount by the board
of county supervisors of the ballots
cast in the recent primary election the
vote stands at tie for the two can
didates. The returns from all the un-
contested precincts of Polk county
have been canvassed with no show OF
change.
A sensation was sprung when the
supervisors of Dallas county were re-
strained from proceeding with the
count of the ballots In that county.
This action throws the battle into
the court in which the injunction was is

Both Mason City Contestants Ordered

Special to Times-Republican.
Mason City, June 16.-Because they
failed to make application to make a
directory in this city, as required by
the city ordinances, the representatives
Of r. L. Polk & Co., and of the Du-
buque Telegraph Herald, who are
fighting out directory war here, were
ordered by the mayor last Saturday to
cease work and call halt in the bat
tie, until after they had made formal
application to the city council. A
special meeting has been called to
consider these applications. The gen
eral opinion among the aldermen, is
that both should be given permission
to publish a directory, and allowed
to fight it out on the same lines as
pursued up to this time. Polk & Co.
have little the best of the argument,
since they made formal application
for permission on the occasion of their
first publication here, when the per-
init was granted, under the terms of
which they have published directories
of the city during the intervening
years without call for any further
application.

WILL PAVE AT HAMPTON.
There Being No Opposition, Bids So
licited for Ten Blocks.

Special to Times Republican.
Hampton, June 1e.-The limit Of
time within which complaints against
the proposed paving in this city might
be made, was last week, and no SER
ious objection developed to hinder the
improvement. At a special meeting Of
the council a few evenings ago, the
members decided to go ahead with the
work of preparation and accordingly
will advertise for bids for the work,
which, 1t is specified, shall be COM
pleted by Oct. 1. 1908.
Bids are solicited FOR ten blocks Of
paving, to be of No. vitrified paving
brick, laid on one and one-half inch
cushion Of sand, and this on FIVE
inch foundation of Portland cement
concrete. Curbing is to be of artificial
stone, and the contractor is to furnish
all material, tools and labor. He is
also required to give bond equal to
guarantee of the faithful performance
of the work, and he must also guar
anteef to keep the work in repair for
a period OF five years ordinary wear
and tear.
1t Is specified that special assess
ment certificates shall be accepted as
full compensation by the contractor.
Paving of street intersections, of
course, are to be paid for by the city.
A certified check for $4,000 upon some
Hampton bank, must accompany each
bid. The limit of time for the recep-
ton OF bids is fixed for o'clock p. M,
July 6. The decision of the city coun-
Gil to extend the proposed improve
ment so far to the west would seem
to indicate that the Inauguration of
thorough service on the Short Line
road in that part of town is expected.

of $500 from the provident contingent

repairing the damage from the recent
storms that flooded the farm and de-

the damage. and the Legislature next
