The t ing last full to overfic composed of ¢ tions that were city held an counell chamber wa council important me th being largely was wudienc s for the filled. Th Aldermen Brewich Spetm ng ididat to b variou mayor Glea Rishton Mayor Cleaver read in the chair and n, Grahl, Kelle and Whit hi {icholson were present MAYOR ( VER'S MESSAGE. In the opening clau f his message which was brief, Mayor Cleaver thanked the heads of departments of the city government for the they had given him. He discussed the low figure at which the assess ors have valued the city—$5,300,000, about 40 per cent the actual v and the small amount of the city's indebtedness, $248 000, which is within $20,000 of the 5 per cent limit under the low assessnient. The present revenues are very stactory. The 10-mill levy for the general fund raises $53,000, and from the marshal's office and other sources the deflcit of $15,000 in this fund is easily ipplied. He advises the finance committee to look into the nature of outstanding bonds for special Improvements and take needed steps to secure their refunding at a lower rate of interest. If the matter of special im provements is to be tinued the mayor gosts that the system of payment in tax certificates be given a trial. This has worked in other citics and has given satisfaction On the matter of improvements he say There are sons why our im on. The property ts have bur plausible re provements should go owners along certain dened themselves in order to advance the city’s welfare, They have assumed the expense of putting in sewers and paving streets, curbing and sidewalks in front of their property, many of these people neither needing paving nor sewer themselves, but doing it for the best interests of the city, and they simply ask in return the continuation of this line of improvements, and_now, after wasting years of time and thousands of dollars of the people’s money experimenting with worthless and expensive imported material it has heen demonstra we can pro- duce at home the best material, everything considered, yet tried for paving purpos r to vitrified brick, ear_round In e s of_the city North Bighth, South Eighth, snue from Ninth to High, and from the connection to and including South avenue, also Union avenue to the transfer.

The Indian creek question is one that will requite much future thought. The advisa bility of enclosing same, as all sewers should be, should command attention, and instead of bridging at necessary points from time to time, do sectional work, ac- complishing the same end, continui s of improvement as needed and 0 afford. em is one of vital question of suftabl flcient outlet to the river, control city, requires our immediate attentio RELA WITH CORPORA It is to be hoped that the cantrov between the Council, Bluffs and Omah Motor company and ‘our citizens may b sught to a satisfactory settlement le demand that this company as- leggal share of expense of the nts upon streets occupied by acks, and that the customary nickel fare i in force over similar line be charged. In granting this the compan would be making little, if any, sacrifice, shrewd financiers cluiming the increased travel would more than compensate for the reduction in far There is little que s to the bility of municlpalit owning certain franchises from a business and economic standpoint. Ownership, however, involves and requires the expenditure of vast capl- tal. Tt is questionable whether our city financial condition would admit of a move ment of this nature at the present time, The proper controlling of them probably interests us more, and in this age of pro- gress and invention, while new methods, improved appliances, convenient and econ- omical, are constantly taking the place of old ores, the disadvantage of long-time contracts, with their restrictions and legal technicalities, are apparent to all. The constriction of the proposed line betwden this point and East Omaha should meet with encouragcment, ag this would afford us direct communication with our possessions over the river and anothep route to omaha. Our X Cut-Off should be looked after. It is to be regretted that the proposition submitted at our recent gchool election to vote a smali levy for the purpose of erccting a school building was defeated. This portion of our city has furnished more revenue than has been expended in its behalf, and it should be seen to that proper facilities for caring for their school children be afforded. Lack of money will hamper the park com- missioners during the year. o levy for park purposes was made last year. = Im- provement of the Missouri's banks, the estab- lishment of a local weather burcau and a government fish hatchery are some of the many things the mayor urges the citizer and council to look after, in addition to the manifold interests of the city already estab- lished.

He did taking the money, but claimed the letter had not been sealed with the money in it, but had been given to him by the sender, with a request that he would put the money in and seal it. John Lindt was appointed to defend him, but Hansen accused him of conniving with the district attorney to secure Lis con- viction. Lindt accordingly asked to be re- lieved and 0. I.

When she about half way on her return, in a low plece of ground, she was assaulted by some one who was creted in the high grass by the roadside and was killed, Mr. Russie heard her seream and told his hired boy to go and see it that was Anna, He soon returned and said that he was afraid to go. Mr. Russie then went with his boy and almost immediately heard two or three more piereing s They ran down the road and hearing moan were at tracted to the spot where the girl lay, satu rated with blood from head to foot Her throat was cut from ecar to ear Later exam ination showed twenty- tabs on her throat and neck and that her skull had been crushed by a club In the hands of the agsassin, which was still lying near the scenc. Her body was lying by the side of the road the grass and the surroundings showed the struggle had been short but desperate. Mr. Russie immediately gave the alarm, and in a very short time the entire neigh- borhood was aroused. The crowd was wild with excitement and indignation, and threats rrible punishment were freely indulged in should the guilty party be found. The sheriff by midnight was on the ground. He nized searehing parties and systemati searched the country. Several days carch was kept up, but without success. the day of the tragedy, hundreds ons drove out from this cit joined in the search for a clew, The citi- zens of that part of the county offered a reward of $1,000 and to this the sherif added $500. Suspicion first fell upon Albert Elsenhart, to whom it was reported the girl had been engaged, but which had been broken off. He was found in a few days near Rolfe, in Pocahontas county, arrested and brought to this city. He had no trouble In proving that he was at the home of his employer on the nights of the murder, and was released. Several detectives commenced work on the case. One of them spon arrested”a young man by the name of Horace Hill, but failed to produce evidence against him and he was ged. Governor Bofes advised the county attortiey o employ a de- tective and the state wonld pay the ex pense. Barney Shultz of the Plnkerton agency was put to work under the direction of the sheriff, whiel resulted in the indict- ment against Mrs, Burnett. DID NOT LOSE HER NERVE She was promptly arrested and placed in jall. Her attorneys appeared before Judge Weaver and asked for bail for the accused on the ground that the indictment did not charge murder in the first degree, or that if it did so charge the evidence attached o s indictment did not raise,a presumption guilt, such as is required by law before a d fendant can be held without bail. The judge admitted ler to buil, fixing her bond at $10.- 000, which was furnished by twenty-two of the neighbors. The defendant, from first to last, while under arrest and while in fail, has exhibited but little nervousness, has re tained her calmness to a remarkable degreo and_expresses herselt as confident of an acquittal. The evidence against her will be purely clrcumstantial, so far as can be gathered from the minutes of the testimony taken before the grand jury. A number of red hairs were found in the murdered girl's hands, sald to be about ten inches long, which the state will undertake to show co respond with the hair of Mrs. Bennett, The club that was found near the body, the state will claim, was picked up by Mré. Bennett when she’ started from her house as she went out through the cow yard. The flth and manure of the yard yet covers the club. A dress waist taken from the Bennett house will be introduced, which, it is claimed, has blood spots on it A but- ton is missing and a button corresponding to those now on the waist was plcked up where the struggule occurred. They will also show that blood was found the next day on the door of Mrs. Bemnett’s house and when parties went a short time after this dlscovery to see the blood it had all becn carefully removed. Mrs, Dennett lived little more than half a mile from the house of Mrs. Russie, where the girl stayed, and in plain sight of th road leading to the house of Horace Hill, where she visited on the fatal evening, and the claim will be made that Mrs. Hennett saw her go there, A picce of ground cov- ored with high weeds and grass extends from the place where the murder occurred to the yards back of the Bennett house and could furnish the only means of escape un- noticed by Mr. Russie and the boy, who must have been at the spot where the mur- der occurred, before the murderer had time to get fifty rods aw One motive for the murder stated to be the jealousy of Mrs. Bennett on account of her husband’s attention to Miss Wiese. It i5 also reported that several years ago a man working near where the Bennetts lived dis- appeared and has never been heard from. It is charged that the body of this man was buried in the cellar of the Bennett house and that Miss Wiese knew of it and was killed to proserve the secret.
