FIRE CONSUMES DRY GOODS
Syndicate Trading- .Company's Loss
Total and Other Firms Sorter
Considerable Damage.
One of the most serious fires which has
visited this city for some time broke out
about 11 o'clock last night In the store of
the Syndicate Trading company In the
Be'no-Shugart block, running from Main
to Pearl streets. The Arm carries a stock
of 'dry goods estimated In value at from
$6,000 to $10,000, and this was practically
entirely consumed. "What was not burned
waa ruined by water and smoke, but little
of It. however, escaping the flames. When
the fire was first discovered It had gained
great headway and by the time the fire
men arrived the entire Interior of the
store waa ahlase. The fire Itself was con
fined to this one store, but water and
smoke did considerable damage to stocks
In adjoining stores.
Culver & Woodbury, dry goods, to the
south, occupy a large double store, like
the one where the fire originated, running
through from Main to Pearl streets. The
stock on the main floor Is damaged by
smoke and that In the basement by smoke
and water. Just how much their damage
waa the firm was not prepared to state
last night, . but It Is fully covered by In
surance. To the north, Pearson Bros., dealers In
draperies and upholstering goods, suffered
from smoke. Their ' stock Is valued at
about $2,000 and most of the goods are
ruined. .
Still further to the north the wholesale
grocery stock of Stewart Bros, on the sec
ond floor of their building Is damaged by
smoke.
The loss on the building will not be great.
With 'the exception of the Syndicate
Trading company It Is stated the losses are
fully covered by Insurance. What 'the In
surance on this stock amounts to could
not be ascertained last night, as the man
ager, James Shelley, could not be found.
He waa seen about the city tarller In the
evening,' but could not be located later.
Until he Is seen It will not bo known defi
nitely what was the value of the stock or
the amount of Insurance carried. None of
the employes of the company seen last
evening was willing to venture an opinion
on either point, but those familiar with the
stock placed its value all the way from
$3,000 ' to $10,000.
No one Is able to state how the fire
started. When first seen it had gained great
headway and appeared to have made the
most progress on the Pearl street side of
the main floor. The firm has Its headquar
tervln Kansas City and opend for bunl
ness In this city about one year ago. 'It
has done at least a fairly good business
during most. If not all, of the time.
NEW MOVE IN SALOON FIGHT
Search Warrants for Places Where
Gambling; Was Snppoaed to
Be Condncted.
i-A new phase entered Into the saloon fight
yesterday when Attorney Wadsworth, rep
resenting the Stora Brewing company, se
cured search warrants from tho court
of Justice Carson for certain buildings In
which gambling was said to conducted."
Wadsworth's action had been foreseen
and at the Hoffman the paraphernalia had J
bun removed and the nlace closed. The
Cohstable, however, ; discovered several
tables and other paraphernalia ln'afoom
in the building adjoining the Hoffman,
of which they took possession.
Paul O'Hara, the young man , who tried
tast week to get warrants against slot
machines. Joined In the crusade against
the gambling houses yesterday and secured
from Justice Carson a search warrant for
the Albany club. Here, however, the con
stable found the place closed and only a
few plain tables and chairs tn the room.
O'Hara reside at 1026 Avenue C and until
recently was employed In a Broadway
restaurant, but la said to be at present
working for an Insurance, agent named
H. O. Meade. He has been a resident, ac
cording to hi own 'statement, of Council
Bluffs only since last September. He
claimed to be . working Independent of
Wadsworth and has no Interest in the sa
loon fight.

Old Resident Dies Snddenly.
J. C. Miller, an old-time resident of this
city, died suddenly, at an early hour yes
terday morning at the residence of his
nephew, William E. Tyson, E6 South First
street, where he made his home. He had
been In poor health for some time, but
his condition waa not such as to cause any
fear. He waa heard to go to the bath
room by other members of the family and
his prolonged stay there led them to In
vestigate and they found hlra lying on the
floor' dead.
Coroner Treynor after examining the body
decided that death waa caused by orgunlc
heart disease and that an Inquest would be
unnecessary. The deceased was 59 years of
age and a . salesman by occupation. A
brother, Isaac Miller, dropped dead from
the same cause on the steps of the Grand
Jiotel a few year ago,

' (From a Staff Correspondent.)
DE8 MOINES, Jan. 18. (Special.) The
republican primary election was held to
day. It was quieter than anticipated and
yet had feature of Interest. The fight
was chiefly for nomination of a republican
candidate for mayor, but there waa also
a contest for aldermen In each one of the
seven wards, and for city assessor. The
compact to have a harmonious primary
with only one set of judges wss kept,
though on the opening of the polls the
compact came near being broken and chaoa
precipitated by action at one precinct.
One of the Judges was not on hand
promptly, and the city committee filled the
vacancy by placing on a man which would
give the full control tn that ward JLp the
Mattern men. Aa that was the city hall
precinct and a close one, there waa trouble
until a change was made. Other than this
the day was quiet, save that It more nearly
resembled a national election than a local
fight, so Intense was the seal of the parti
sans. The opposing candidate for fnayor were
George W. Mattern and John MacVlcar.
The other candidates through the ticket
were:
City Solicitor W. H. Bremner. ,
City Knglneer John W. Budd.
City Auditor John B. Lucas. N

The primary election resulted In the se
lection of Mattern for 'mayor over Mac
Vicar, Mattern having eighty-two of the
140 delegates to the city convention. The
vote is about evenly divided between the
two men. Nearly 10,000 vote were cast,
which 1 far more than the republicans
have In the city. . Accusations of fraud
and corruption are made this evening. A
white man and negro entered an East side
booth where the judges were counting the
ballots and the negro ran out with a hand
ful of the ballots. He was pursued and
shot at a number of time, but not cap

City, 'where Mr. - Plummer was, arrested
and placed in Jail, .for a trivial offense.
Mrs. Plummer smuggled a revolver to him

Minneapolis, where she was wearing men's

Kelllher, ' Minn. They drove 'the proprietor
out with revolvers and kept possession
of the entire" hotel all one night, despite
the effort of a posse to dislodge them. In
the morning they surrendered, paid a fine

Unstained a Don; Ordinance.
-,The Iowa supreme eourt today rendered
a decision sustaining a dog ordinance 'in
the town of Sibley. A man had been ar
rested and fined for allowing two dogs to
run at large unmuzsled In the town. The
district court had released the man on the
theory that the laws of the state do not
authorize any such measure to prevent
dogs running at large and that the only
remedy for dogs running at large Is to
provide for killing them. The supreme
court take the opposite view and declares
that a jlown.or city may fine the owner
of dogs that are allowed to run at large
and the ordinance was therefore legal. '

Reporter Ar Barred.
The Ministerial association at Its meeting
this morning decided that reporter will be
barred In the future. The feeling was ex
pressed by several that the mind of the
reporter was not able to compass ths great
question that they were In the habit of
discussing and that he could not therefore
hope to get a correct report for hia respect
ive publication. Above this waa th
thought that the public had no right to a
glimpse of the mltilster outside of the
pulpit and while on, his ministerial rounds,
and that the work of the association waa
not in any way the property of the public
' The discussion over the measure waa
long, but waa unanimous, and but on man.

ever said one word to .me on the subject

the republicans of Iowa, as represented
