rile County Vote fop Sheriff Tivo Years Ago.

The following table of figures gives the vote for sheriff two years ago, when W. D. Mills, the republican candidate, was defeated by Mr. McPherson. The figures show that McPherson carried eight precincts outside of Marshall-town. These were Jefferson, Timber Creek and Liberty, always democratic; Logan and Washington, always close and liable to go either way by a few votes, and Marion, Linn and LeGrand No. 2, republican strongholds. In Eden and State Center Mills and McPherson broke even. The latter made gains in nearly every precinct in the county. The figures of two years ago follow:

That Against Llojrd Maxwell Suddenly Eudru.

The case brought against Mr. Lloyd Maxwell, of this city, by Manager Carpenter, of the United Typewriter & Supply Company, Des Moines branch, in which the embezzlement of $300 in company funds was charged, was dismissed from Justice Allen's court Monday afternoon. Mr. Carpenter appeared but County Attorney Stone, for the state, asked for a continuance of a week. The court refused to grant this, as his jurisdiction would be only over a preliminary hearing, and by that time the grand Jury could take the matter up if it were deemed best. It is thought the matter is dismissed for good, as Mr. Carpenter would in all probability have had his evidence ready had he considered his case strong enough to warrant a conviction. Mr. Maxwell is not worrying at all over any future trouble arising, and he was ready in court Monday with evidence which he claims would have proved his innocence and showed that the company owed him money to the amount of about $400 instead of his being the debtor. ...

An Omaha Opinion of Ynncy Smith.

Charles Yancy and Charles Smith, the men convicted of the charge of the attempt to murder O. W. Hicks, of Ciihton, and suspected of being implicated in the murder of Brakemen Matthews and Wilson, near this city, are _ among the moBt notorious crooks ever j W 1 | [ handled in any Iowa court. The Omaha 1

OCTOBER CHARITY.

World-Herald, commenting upon their conviction, says they are both well known in police circles in Nebraska and in Council Bluffs. Continuing it says:

" 'Sloppy' Smith was raised in Clon-tarf until he became bis enough to run the streets, sell papers, sleep around furnaces and steal. His petty thefts landed him in Jail several times as a boy, and finally he became a burglar and took to the road, beating his way from town to town. He fell in with Yancy, who was a Council Bluffs boy, and they worked together much of the time, till two years ago they were arrested here for a burglary committed in Fremont. Being taken to Fremont for trial, Smith was shot in the leg while trying to escape from the sheriff. Yancy was convicted and sentenced to

year in the penitentiary, but Smith escaped conviction. Since Yancy has gotten out of the penitentiary the pair were soon together again, and being so well known in Nebraska changed the field of their operations to Iowa."

It 's an ill wind that blows nobody good. No thanks to the wind, however. Manager Speers, of the Odeon, is to be congratulated, for he has succeeded in engaging the Lambardi Italian Grand Opera Company, of Milan, Italy, to appear here not only November 11, but on November 10 as well.

Mr. Speers had thought himself extremely lucky to get a single night, but the gods of misfortune are playing him in good fortune to the extent that two nights of grand opera will be given instead of one. When seen this morning Mr. Speers said that In all his experience in the theatrical business no such opportunity had ever before occurred to him to secure such a high classed attraction for his house.

A company like the Lambardi aggregation can ill afford to sing in any but the largest cities, and it is owing to a series of mishaps, or rather, mistakes in bookings, that they are to be in Marshalltown at all . In the process of reorganization undergone at Kansas City, the discharging of an undesirable manager and the securing of a substitute, the company lost several dates. The discharged manager wrote to several theater managers in such cities as Omaha, Council Bluffs and Sioux City, cancelling his contracts, and before the new manager could resume the business the dates in each city had been filled. When Mr. Speers heard of the situation it was only by such solicitation and inducements known only to "the king" that the company was persuaded to consider Marshalltown at all . So when the company finally decided to put in i ts t ime here our Ike never cracked a smile, but immediately struck the manager for two nights and got them.

On Friday night of this week they will give the dramatic and beautiful opera "Carmen" and on Saturday night "Lucia D'Lammermoor." The prices

be $1 for parquet, $1.50 for dress \ $1 and 7."> cents for balcony and

The republicans received election returns in the main court room, the democrats in the east court room. The republican headquarters were packed, while the democratic quarters contained a much smaller representation. The republicans had much to be enthusiastic over, while the democrats had Kentucky and Maryland sure and hope of winning in Nebraska and Ohio. The result in the latter two states was in doubt until a late hour.

For the republicans Secretary Hoover, of the county committee, assisted by Jud Morrlssey, announced the returns, which were received with enthusiasm. Chairman Estabrook was busy making footings for the crowd and in receiving county returns by telephone.

The crowd in the east court room was quiet and seemed depressed. Mcpherson's defeat seemed to kill all enthusiasm and what satisfaction there was in the returns from the on'e-time solid south were received with indifference. Ouy Savage acted as announcer for the democrats.

M'PHERSON GIVES UP. Sheriff McPherson, after the first re

turns from the county, wye received, conceded his defeat, and at 11 o'clock conceded Shoemaker's election by 600 majority. He said he was badly disappointed on the vote of the city, especially that of the Fourth ward, which he expected to carry by a vote of two to one. He accepts his defeat as one of the uncertainties of politics. CHAIRMAN ESTABROOK'S VIEWS.
