In many respects the election was a

elected, things looked very blue for
him on election day, and many of his Thomas Nelson S

..Ino Aiaerman Hansen declared himself
for a 140,000 building. He pointed out
1,829 that the city is not a temporary Insti

beaten. His friends had calculated on
these precincts giving Morton safe
majorities, but their prediction was
not realized. Morton is said to have
been given the "double cross," but this
view is not shared by those politicians
who are well posted, and - who know
of Linvllle's ability as a campaigner.
Still, in the face of the very enthusias
tic support which Morton received and
the outlook on election day, the result
was a surprise to almost everyone ex
cept the sheriff and a few of his
stanchest friends.
, B. F. Allen is defeated for county
-commissioner by William Larson. Lar

Push, is 98.
The democrats captured both rep
resentatives. Burns led the ticket with
a total vote of 1158, not counting the
vote of Push. His plurality over Palm
berg is 247. Laws received 1002 votes
and defeated Palmberg by 91. Palm
berg ran six votes ahead of Lester in
the 25 precincts heard from. It was
conceded by democrats on election day
that Palmberg had been elected, and

EYE
STRAIN
IS the most common cause of those nervous headaches that your doctor
does not reach. Dizziness, darting pains in the eye-balls or temples,
smarting or burning sensation, the eyes become red and lids inflamed,
quivering of lids and jerking of muscles in und around the eyes.
Do you ever have dark spots float
ing before your eyes? Does the sun
and wind hurt them? Do you have a
sleepy feeling and desire to close the
eyes when reading? Blurring of vision
or lines and letters running together?
If you feel any of these distressing symptoms, have your eyes examined and
see what comfort and relief you will find when properly fitted with glasses.

Mr. Nordstrom was opposed to a
$40,000 hall. He said recelDts were
greater now, but that salaries had been
mcreasea. He thought that 125,000
was enough to put Into the building,
In view of the financial straits of the
municipality, and expressed the idea
that the council should try and get
rid of the brick engine house. Mr. Bel
land was also opposed to any Improve
ment scheme which would add to the
debt, and called attention to the fact
that more receipts would merely be
money with which to pay increased
interest
When Mayor Surprenant suggested
that a limit of 325.000 be placed upon
the public property committee In Its
preliminary work, Councilman Leln-
enweb'er voiced his protest against
building a shack. "If we can not put
up a decent building, let us move Into
the old brick engine house," said he.
Finally, the council adopted a reso
lution authorizing the public property
committee to prepare preliminary plans
for the construction of a building to
cost not more than 125,000. Architect
Schacht, who was present last night,
will assist the committee In the work,
The Fireworks Ordinance.
A substitute ordinance regulating the
use of explosives on national holidays

provides that it shall be unlawful for
any person to fire off any gun, pistol,

ing fireworks or articles of any kind,
excepting that on national holidays
firecrackers not longer than five Inches
and not more than two Inches in di
ameter may be exploded on streets, but
not on sidewalks, and skyrockets may
be discharged. The bill provides a
fine of $5 to $50 for violation of Its
terms. It will be enacted at the next
regular meeting of the council.

provement of Thirty-sixth street from
