VALUABLE PEARLS FOUND.
Two Stones Discovered in CLAIMS
Along the River Near FL Dodge
Value x45 and $48. :.

TT. Dodge, March 2s.-Very valuable
and beautiful pearls have been found
in clans along the Des Moines river,
and one of them in the heart of the
city. Their value is S45 and $4S. The
finders are unknown
Many men make 1t a business to
search among clans along the river
bed for pearls of value and many make
the business quite profitable. How
ever, it is rarely that pearls of such
exquisite color and perfection are
found here. MIR. Martin of the Hurl-
but Jewelry store, which purchased
the stones. says he has seldom seen
finer stones One is rather pink and
the other deep cream in tint.
When asked who the men are from
whom they were purchased, he could
not say, the transaction having been
corsummated without the formality
of learning the finders names. They
told him, however, that one stone
was found near the Great Western
viaduct and the other north of the
city, along the river bank.

Captain s. H. Harper and practical
| ly the entire ticket of which he was
the standard bearer were victorious at
the polls yesterday, defeating the dem
! Ocrat1c and socialists candidates for
the most part by large pluralities.
| Captain Harper won out over T. j.
426 votes, carrying all wards in the
Harper; received fifteen more votes in
choice, thus accomplishing feat that
no republican mayoralty candidate
had performed in the past twenty or
more years. M. L. Byrne, Cass Hen
dershott and John T. Brady were the
only successful democratic candidates
on the city ticket proper, while F. A.
Ehrmann and Patrick Leeney defeated
their republican opponents in the first
and sixth wards. John F.. Peck, re-
publican candidate for city assessor,
led the republicans in point Of plural
tiles in the entire city, while Frank
7. Lynch, the successful aldermanic
candidate in the third ward, received
the greatest plurality in any one
precinct.
Inc closest race IN any ward was
that between Henry Throne and Her
man Bremhorst in the Fourth ward,
the former winning by five votes.
Walter Minnick, socialist candidate
for police judge polled the largest vote
in his party, securing 468.
The third ward clerks and Judges
deserve the thanks of the large crowd
in the Courier office and in front of
the building, by reporting the vote on
the head of the ticket fifteen minutes
after the, close of the pools at z
o'clock. The fifth ward judges and
clerks completed their total count
first, having the full ticket counted at
1880 p. m. t
The result on each city Office by
wards on the three tickets is COM
plete as follows:
