The city council has pussed the ordinance allowing the mayor to use his discretion in charging anywhe, from §25 to §150 for a circus, accordini to the number of rings and monkeys. The free tickets for the aldermen will be, as hereto- @ matter of discretion on the part of dvance agent, to be determined wholly by his own views of courtesy and expediency. ‘The arrest of William Carnahan by Ofticer Murphy is to be investigated by the mayor and police committee, It is charged that the officer should have waited for some more opportune time rather than have tried to nab his man when the latter was driving home a e load of mourners from a funeral. The sensational arrest has caused no little discussion, and the oficial inquiry is started to get at the real factsof the Manager No. 48 No 23 be held Ryan, who wound up his celebration of Labor day by smashing the furniture in his house and scaring his wife by a threatening club, was before Judge McGee yesterday morning. His wife did not appear against him and the old man had his story his own way. He said the woman drove him to drink_and angered him so that he over- stepped the bounds of moderation. He was lov off with a 810 fine, which with a bill for new furniture will make his cclebration a rather expensive one. A rather sensational article in a Crystal Lake, 11, paper announces a fact of some interest to Council Bluffs people who have missed the two bright little children of S, T. Smith, an electric belt man. It will be recollected that when Mr. Smith took the children from the care of his housekcever, Miss Winnie McDonald, at Des Moines, that considerable newspaper notoriety was given all parties concerned and that Mr. Smith made some sensational charges against Miss McDonald that were not sustained. The Illinos paver states that the chiliren huve been rescuea by their father and placed in the custody of th grandmother at that place. Then follows a remarkable account of Miss McDonald’s counection with the domestic affairs of Smith; that sho had kidnaped the chilaren three years ago, and that for eighteen months Sirith had sought In vain for them and only aceidentally found them under assumed names. traveling with a theatrieal company Miss McDonald had mortgaged his Household goods for £3,000 and had secured 37,000 by other means from him.

Tel. 151 Dangers Which Lurk in the Alleyways and Otirer Uncared for Places, FEEDING GROUNDS FOR DANGEROUS FIRES Property Owners Who Dally Disregard and | Violate th ness W City Ordinances-Cnrele feh Will Some Day Cause A Great Conflagration, The firo department was called out at an early hour yesterday morning by a little, but hot blaze, discovered in a pite of rubbish and barrcls in the roar of a Main street bot- tling establishment. Owing to favorable circumstances the fire was spoedily put out and little damago was done. The condition of the surroundings as thus called attention to forms an excellent text for the giving of an exhortation to the city authorices and property owners, for the samo conditions are found to exist in many parts of thecity. Alieys are common dump- ing places for piles of manure, old paver, boxes, etc,, these combustible piles being often in such proximity to wooden sheds and barns filled with hay, that at almost any time this city may awuke to the awful realization of how great a five a little spark moy kindle. A cigar stump or match tossed nside by some careless or drunken hand is liable at any time to start a blaze which, if not discovered in time, or1f starting with wind and weather favorable for quick flames, might sweep away a groat deal of valuable property. In looking over the situation yesterday there was noticed in the rear of one store the gathering of a pile of papers and straw, preparatory to an exterminating bonfire, and yet right across the alley was n stable, the loft door of which was open, and out of it wus hanging a great bunch of 'hay, wating temptingly for any flying spark. A hasty inspection of tho alleys in the main part of the city reveals the presence of many such threatening combinations and it does seem that where a sure preventive can be secured uble or expense prompt and sive action should be taken. The use of the alleys as dumping grounds is also an in- Justice to those property owners who do keep their premises clean and who are striv- ing to take every possible precaution against fires. Citizens generally should take a peep into the alleys and sce for themselves what chances there are for fires. Porhaps in this way a sufficient amount of public sentiment may be aroused to cause an enforcement of the ordinances. close BENNISON BROS, Prices for Thursday Only One.Half. 50 picces dark style outing flannel, regular 124¢ quality, today 5e yard.

The chief witness for the defense was Leah Mawhor, daughter of the defendant. She gave her testimony in 4 conviueing way, adding what- cver she could to favor the caseof her fatler. It was brought out in evideuce last week that the relations between Leah and hor stepmother were not the most pleasant, and this was corvoborated today by the young lady’s own testimony. But the most sen tional piece of evidence that has been intro- duced during the wholo trial was a scrap of paper, purporting to be a bit of a noto writ- ten by Mrs. Mawhor, 1 which sho declared her intention to commit suicido.

Leah Mawhor testified that the first trou- ble occurred between her father and her stepmother over a surprise party. She had asked her schoolmates at Axtell, Kan., to come over and spend the night with her, and they had declined, Later thoy came’ and surprised the family. ~ Her stepmother said she was a liar, and she left home.

Mrs. Ellen Foster Stands Up for the Inde- pendence of the W Des Moixes, Sept. 6.—[Special Telegram to Tuk Bee. ] ~The attendance at the state fair today was estimated by one of the officers at the close at 85,000, It was old soldier’s day and many veterans were pres- ent from all parts of the state. There were no formal excreises, but there were a numver of rezimental reunions on the ground. Hon. F. 'I. Campbell was the spoaker at the Forticth Towa's sixth annual meeting. Among the special features of the fair was the attendance of the Tippecanoe club in a body and a meeting at the Polk county building in the afternoon. The speukers Hon. Frank D. Jackson, Joel P, Davis, J. Bllen Foster, W. I3, Odell, Captain Alpert Head and Hon. Lewis Todhlnte _Mrs. Foster spoke for the Women's Chiris- tian Temporance union, saying it had sup- vorted prohibition from the first, and sus- tained all measures that would bring about the_abolition of the saloon. The Women's Christian Temperance union does not stand for the republican party nor the democratic party. Neithor does ivstand for the repub lican prohibitionists, the populists, the straight prohibitionists or any othe It is not pledged to any party. Resarding the present outlook Mrs, Foster said that a man was a blockhead who sad ho did not care for the comng contest. Ho must be less than haif a man if he does not care for the way things are mixed, Some men do not know where the path of duty lies. They arcon the fence; but that is better than boing on the wrong side, It does not be-omo us o impugn the motives of any mau who hesitates, “The Woman's Christian Tem- perance union has nothing to say about the planks and the platforms of the parties as an orgunization. 1t will work Lo secure men h;r the legislature who will sustain prohi- bition, C.T1Z SPROHIBITION MOVEMENT, Ex-Senator Ja Huarlan Sees Tw) Con. luous Bronkers Ahead Des Morses, Sept. 6 .—[Special Telegram to Tug Bee.|—In response to a letter from Chair ibson and James P. Pinkham, the prohibition state central committec, re- garding the movement against the tem- perance plank of the lowa republican plat- form, ex-Senator James Harlan of Mt Plensant, under dato of Scptember 4, re- plies av considerable length, Ho declines to endorse the alleged citizens movement for prohibition, saying the election of proposed nominees docs nov seem to him to be within the range of possibility, and continues “Hence, every vepublican vote cust for them will weaken the republican party and strengthen the democratic party. Your proposed organization gives the democracy of Towa, in my_opiuion, its only hope of su cess at the next election, and if Horac Boies should be again elected governor of lowa, With & democrat jority in the general assembly, two things will doubtless occur, viz: First, a democratic United States senator will be elected to misrepre- sen’ lowa and vote steadily against repub. lican principles in that great forum from the 4th of March, 1505, until the 4th of March, + 19015 ond, 'the existing pro hibitory liquor law will certainly be re pealed “and some sort of a license law will e euacted in its pluce.” Toughs Too FPlentiful, Davesrosr, la., Sept. 6.—[Special gram to luk Bek.|—This morning Peter Lantrup, grocer, found that his safe had been drilled and blasted, but only the outer plating was torn off and the $300 he nad there for safe keeping was intact.
