HOW BANKRUPT VAVRA SOLD HIS STOCK e Was 1n Brainess at Hawarden, bot Sent M Goods to His Brother Councll Blufts-The Latter Under Arrest. n J.J. Vavra, a young man who started up a dry goods store at 142 Broadway about three months ago, is in serious trouble on account of business transactions in which he is more or less implicated with his brother, A. S. Vavra, a storckeeper at Hawarden, Wood bury County, and which are charged with being crooked ceording to the story told by E. D. Wigton, a Sioux City attorney, and Cavtain Wicks of the Sioux City police, vavra has been stocking up his store with a of hiich did not cost him of his broth: thousand do A. 8. Vavra, the Hawarden merchant, broke np in'business three duys ago. defore he did 50, however, he sold_out to his sister, a Mrs, King. He then procecded to disap: pear, and so effectually did he do it that all efforts 1o locate bim have been unavailing. He was heavily indebted to various Chicago and Omaha wholesnlers, and when his ered- itors learned that he had disposed of his property they began a lhively rustle to see what there was for them to hold besides the sack. Left Only the Shell, At first sight the store secmed to bo well filled with merchandise. The shelves wero loaded with boxes and the only thing that detracted from the general air of prosperity was the fact that the front doors wero locked, They began to look through the boxes and wero amazed to find that wost of them were cmpty. Just what the value of the stoc m - the store is has not been ascortained, but it is much less than was supposed at the time the sale took place. Ior a couple of weeks prior to the sale it is said_that Vayra was busily engaged every night in_emptying his storc by the back door. Wagonload after wagonload of merchandise was taken out and shipped to his brother in this city and put on sale at this end of the linc. “The charge against J. J. Vavra is really that he hus been engagcd 1n 4 couspiracy to defraud, but the information on file against him charges him with obtaining coods under faise protenses. The false pretenses wero with reference to the amount of his prop- erty. He issnid to have obtained $8,000 or $10,000 credit on the strongth of Sworn statements to the commercial agencics, 1n which he greatly exaggerated his financial ability. _His stock here is estimatod to be worth about $2500. A larce portion of it consists of merchandise that was shinped to him by his brother, and it is probable that saits will be instituted in the course of a day or two by the parties from whom it was purchased to recover it. Stories of the Transaction. Vavra was asked yesterday after he had been placed under arrest how he happened to buy the goods of his brother fnstead of some wholesale establishment. He replied that his brother needed the money, and he bought the stock he had on hand soas to help him out He claimed to have no id there was any doubt as to his brothes to sell it. He said he paid his brother $1 for the merchundise, hut did nov pay means of a draft or check. the money in a lettel pre Tron 300 to €5 at a time, and_ s by mail. He also said that his brother owed him 00, but that did not prevent him paying his broth for all the goods he bought of him. A warrant is out for the arrest of the brother and he will beapprehended as soon as he can be located. Mr. Vavra left for Sioux City last evening. accompanied by Attorney Wigton and Captain Wick: Instead, h Up to Date, That is what we can say about our cloak department.

COMING OF THE CANDIDATES, Boles, Mitohell and Juckson to Speak the City This Week, This week is an important one for the city of Council Bluffs in a political way from the fact that it s to see visits from three of the candidates for governor. Bennett Mitchell, the candidate on the prohibition ticket, made his debut at the Broadway Methodist church last evening, but the notices given out in advance were to the effect that it would not be a political speech, so there was no particular demonstration made by the the prohibs in his honor. The fact that it was Sunday night also had something to do with keeping down their inkerent tendencies to huve a torchli ade. Today Govern: will make his first appearance in the city since Lwo years ago. A committee appointed by the local democ- i will take him 1n charge from the time he sets foot on Council Bluffs soil. He will be taken first to the residence of Dr. Macrae and afier that to the School for the Deaf. In the evening he will discuss political mat- ters at the opera house from the standpoint of & man who wants to occupy the guberna- torial chair a third time contrary to his own .

What the Sclence of Sanitation Has Accomn- plished. The probabilities of life have largely increased during the last five-und-twenty years. And this isso, says the New York Ledger, because science has advanced sanitation, and sanitation has defeated death., Of course all must die, but none need do so through the neglect of plainly written law Cholera and cleanlines: are deadly foes: and, in fact, the latter habit sternly opposes every contagious disease. The unfortunate Muscovites who have made the plaguc-spot of 1892 are the victims of habits of filthiness, which have brought upon guilty and in- nocent alike a sad Nemesis. Turn to the west for the brighter side of the picture, The number of deaths from cholera in New York city for 1849 was 5,071; for 1854, 2,509; for 1866, 1,210; for 1892, a few isolated cases not count- ing a dozen. The death rate of our coun- try is being surely lowered every year, but much remains to be done. Both here and in England there are 250,000 preventable deaths every year, and 7,000,000 of needless illnesses which an clementary knowledge of hygienic laws might have averted. Even tbe cholera alarm has proved the sanitary inspector of nature, forcing us to cleanse our strects and drains, purify our water supply, and lower our death rate. But human sacrifice is entirely un- necessary. Have we not yet learnt our lesson? ‘The simple principles of sani- tation should be and are being tanght, thanks to an enlightened age, in our common schools, Hygienic laws must become the common™ property not on of medical experts and quarantine au- thorities,but also of every parent, hous: holder and landlord. The public officers of the law must have the knowledge and authority to deal with any de- manding treatment. 1f these casy mat- tors are seen to, the disease, which has been gradually brought low, can be now and always completely stamped out.
