city poundmaster, when Fisher came up be-
hind them and asked II they knew where
Minnie Smith lived. They replied they did
not and then Fisher, II is charged, drew a
revolver and fired at the woman, but the
bullet went wide of its intended mark.
On the stand Fisher admitted the shoot
ing. but in excuse said he was intoxicated
at the time and that he only shot in the
air with the intent Of soaring the woman
and Stone. 1t was said that Fisher sus-
pected the Broomfield woman of inducing
Minnie Smith, a young colored woman
with whom he is said to have been keep
ing company in Omaha, to come TO Council
Bluffs to live. Fisher is Is years old.

the association is to be congratulated.
But few Of the dormitory rooms remain
to be furnished by contribution The

The children of the public schools of
Council Bluffs are to be afforded an op-
portunity to view the big military parade
in Omaha this afternoon. The Board OF
Education yesterday gave permission for
the closing of the schools at noon.
Council Bluffs, as usual, sent a big crowd
to Omaha last night to witness the cleo
tricai parade, although owing to the recent
street car strike the number which went
from this side Of the river was not as large
as in previous years. There is little doubt
but that quite a number stayed at home
through fear of possible disturbance on the
car line. 1t was estimated that at least
10000 persons went from here, and from
early in the evening until after s O'Clock
the cars to Omaha were packed TO their
utmost capacity.
TIL company maintained an excellent and
adequate service on the Omaha line and
the crowd was brought back early.

Hard Contest Faces Candi- date in First District-His Record of Faithful Ser vice.

The Democrats of the First District have chosen as their candidate for alderman, a man who, if elected, will be an alderman in every sense of the word. He will be no mans man for those who know him say that the Democrats of the First have a rep resentative citizen who is possessed of a level head and the necessary judgment that is so requisite in the Aldermanic chamber. He is a man who will be true to his constituents and he can be depended upon at all times to be found on the side that stands for a square deal.
 Born in this city of German parent ing room of the Bridgeport Evening Farmer at the early age of IA years as an apprentice, where he has been em- ployed ever since, except for three and one-half years at the New Haven Journal-Courier plant and for two years as foreman of the composing room of the Standard. At present he is foreman of the composing room of the Bridgeport Evening Farmer. He is a Past Noble Grand of Samuel Harris lodge of the Odd Fellows, Past Chief Patriarch of Stratfeld encampment, I. O. O. F., and Past Master Workman of Golden Hill lodge of the A. O. U. w., He is the collector and treasurer of Golden Hill Council of the Fraternal Benefit league, and member of the Bridgeport Typographical Union, No 252. He is member of the South Congregational church and resides at 531 Warren street.
 Although the First District is Re- publican, MT. Langhammer expects to overcome the odds against him be- cause of the large number of Repub- 1icans of the district who want a square deal and who will vote for whom they believe is the best man. He does not have to tell the voters that he is a workingman for the esteem in which he is held by those who have been associated with him in every day life and fraternaI circles is good enough endorsement for man in po- 1itical life.

VICTORIAN RAN
 BY THE SIGNAL
So Declares Superintendent Chapman Relative to Col lision of Cars and Death of Sullivan.

Failure on the part of Motorman Patrick Sullivan of car No. 503 to heed the electric light signals at Fort Trum- bull Beach, at Milford, yesterday morning, was what caused the head on collision between the passenger and work car and resulted yesterday aft ernoon in Sullivan's death, said Supt. Charles H. Chapman. of the local di- vision of the Connecticut Company, this morning. He also said that the collision was most unfortunate in that it should result in the death of the man on whom the responsibility rests. The signal had been set for Sullivan to hold his car at the switch before the turn into Rogers avenue. Either the light at the switch did not operate or Sullivan disregarded the signal and took a chance and went ahead. with what result is now we'll known.
 Sullivan did not have time to jump and was caught and pinned in the wreck of his own car. It was neces- sary for the woodwork to be chopped away before Sullivan could be releas- ed. It was seen that he was dying and Rev. Father Downes was called from the mission house in Milford and administered the last rites of the church to the dying man. Sullivan was removed to the Bridgeport hos pital where he died yesterday after noon about o'clock of internal intur- ies. The investigation into the cause of the accident was held yesterday by Supt. Chapman.

Control Your Fat

One can now take off and keep of extra fat at will. If you have an over- fat abdomen or double chin you can clear it away completely without a minutes bother, exercising or dieting. Take teaspoonful after meals and at bed times of this mixture: E oz. Mar mola, F oz. Fluid Extract Cascara Aromatic and E oz. Peppermint Wa ter-any druggist has them-and go on eating as best pleases you; don't worry about results.
 The double chin and ponderous stomach will soon show signs of melt ing away. They will not sag in or wrinkle, however; just go down nice and smooth and even. That effect is due to the harmless natural action of the mixture.
 This is explained as follows:, Blame overfatness to the stomach. is get ting lazy. Instead of making energy and muscle from your food, it is man ufacturing fat. The above mixture corrects the defect and hence it makes you stronger and healthier at the same time it is taking off of you 12 to 16 ounces of useless fat a day. The reason it affects double chin, hips, etc, first is because the fat on them is softer and can not resist the remedy as long as that on the lambs. But eventually all the fat has to go if you kepe up the treatment

JAMES P. O'NEILL
He Seems Certain of An Election In the Eleventh District.

James F. OrNeil1, the Democratic candidate for Alderman in the Eleventh district is again brought forth by the Democratic workers of that fighting district, who confidently expect MT. O'Neill to carry the polls this year. He was swept under by the Taft landslide of last season, but by a small major ity The Democratic candidate has been a resident of the district since 1886, residing at 156 Cedar street and is clearly conversant with the needs of that important locality. He is a na- tive of the Bay State. coming to this city with the Ashcroft Manufacturing Co.,, when that concern removed to this city from Boston. He has been in the employ of the concern for 27 years in various capacities, now hold ing very important position on the office force. He is a member of the executive committee of the Bridgeport Minstrel club, vice president of the Bridgeport Cricket club, and secretary of the Sick Benefit Association of the Ashcroft Mfg. Co. He has always been a loyal Democrat and an ardent work CT for the success of his party. He has never held public office, but his business training; executive ability, and attention to minor details is suf- ficient assurance that, if he is elect ed the interests of the district and the city will be well cared for. The Democrats of the district and all in dependent voters, will send MT OiNeill as their representative to the Alder manic council, and will remove all fu- ture doubt as to where the Eleventh district stands in politics.

SPLENDID RECORD
 FOR PUBLIC SERVICE
William Thomas, Democratic Candidate
 for Town Clerk, Has Served Six
 Years as AIderman-Has Been Iden. tified With Many Important Measures

After six years of service in the Common Council, in which he has made record for faithfulness and ef- ficiency seldom equalled and never sur passed in that body, Alderman Will liam Thomas was last night chosen unanimously, by the Democratic Town ana City convention, to be the Demo- cratic candidate for town clerk
 Alderman Thomas has perhaps been behind as many measures for the ben cit of the home owners and the work Ing men, as any other man who was ever a member of the Board of Alder man, both because of his desire to be active in behalf of the people and be- cause of his long service. He has been actively identified with many legisla- tive measures for general public inn prcvement, and he has been particu- iarly active for measures beneficial to his own district, the Eighth.
 The Eighth is what is called a ''close" district. It is as apt to send a Republican. as a Democrat, so that it may be seen that MT. Thomas ac- tivlties have been as gratifying to his own special constituency as to the peo- pie at large.
 Alderman Thomas fight to secure compensation for the sufferers whose property was destroyed by the Boards ley Park dam was one of his most notable efforts to secure justice. It was upon resolution prepared by him that the cata strophe was inves- tigated. He was chairman of the conn mittee that made the investigation, and he framed the fearless report in which the facts were laid bare. By his efforts partial compensation was paid in many cases to the sufferers. although no person recovered all of the damages which he had sustained.
 Other matters with which Alderman Thomas has been identified are as fol- lows:
 He framed and introduced the reso- 1ution under which the assessment of the Bridgeport Hydraulic Company was increased $500, ,00O. This worked an of about s75Oo annually.
 He worked and voted against the 20 year water contract and is one o1 the aldermen who have since taken earnest steps to secure the rescission of that instrument.
 He has for a number of years recog- nized the necessity of tax reform, and has worked to that end. The resolu- ton raising a committee to investigate the whole question of taxation was in troduced by him. AS a member of this committee, appointed by Mayor Key holds. he has done vast amount of careful and patient work It is partly by reason of facts brought out by the committee that the Democratic party framed the tax plank which appears in the party platform.
 MT Thomas has made study of the financial affairs of the city. He is an expert upon this subject. He has long

JOHN N. NEAR
Has Been Renominated by the Citizens of the Fourth District.

The Democratic candidate for alder man from the Fourth district. John N- Near, is too well known to need an in- troduction to the voters of the city He lives at 1261 State street and has resided in this city since 1856 He was superintendent of the Printing depart ment of the American Graphophone company, and is now manager of the brance office of the A. McNeil & Sons Co.,. at 1912 State street.
 Few men have been recognized as capable men by their fellow citizens as has MT. Near. Twice he was nominated for mayor of the city. He served terms as town and city treasurer, president of the board of Councilmen and Aldermen. fire commissioner. po- lice commissioner and representative to the general assembly. In 1905 he was elected alderman from his district. He took great interest in his work. The improvement in the condition of the streets. the lights. and the sewers brought about by MT. Near's activity. were noticeable. Two years later. when he ran to succeed himself. his friends were too sure of his winning and lost.

DANIEL MAHONEY, JR.
People of Second Remem- bered His Excellent Rec ord In Common Council.

The Democrats of the Second Dis trict have again selected as their can didate for alderman, Daniel Mahoney, Jr., who will again make a clean name for himself in the Aldermanic chamb- CT. The nomination in this district is is strongly Democratic. There is no other resident in the district who has it's interest more at heart than Alder man Mahoney. He was born in it, and has resided there all his life. The candidate for reelection is 31 years of age, a graduate of the Bridgeport High school and a thorough hustler after leaving B. H. s. he entered the employ of the Bridgeport Steamboat Co.,, as bill clerk and rose to a posi- tion whereby he had full charge of the Bridgeport end of the enormous freight business carried on by this company. For the past few years he has taken upon himself the management of the by his father, carrying on the indus try with marked success. He is a member of the Young Mems Democra- tic club of the Second District and has always been staunch follower of Jeffersonian policies. He is married 234 Warren street. He is a member of the Bridgeport lodge of Elks. He de- mands a clean and business like ad-
 ninistration for the city at large and an allotment to the Second District of improvements in proportion to it's share of the grand list and it's large population. The Democrats of the dis trict will not regret it when they sweep Alderman Daniel Mahoney, Jr, again into the Board of Aldermen with the largest majority ever accorded a Democrat in that district.
