Harter & DeLanty, who keep a livery stable, are better acquainted with Lee For- man and “Dutch” Boyington now than they were a few days ago. They went to the stable the other night and ®ngaged a rig, saying they were ranchmen from out west. They got a couple of frail females and went out for a time, and when they came back the rig was in several pieces. Yesterday Harter filed an information charging the two fel- lows with cheating by false pretenses. The time to buy property is when the people want to sell at low figures.

BENNISON BROS., Council Bluffs, now. High School Commencement. The members of the senior class of the Council Bluffs High school are making great preparations for the commencement exer- cises, which are to occur probably June 12 at Dohany's opera house, The class of '94 will be the largest ever graduated, num- bering fifty-three. Another thing to which: the class “points with pride” is the uncom- monly large proportion of boys in the class, sixteen out of the entire number being boys. Only twelve of the class will speak, and the question now to be decided Is, who will be the twelve? Three of the number will be those who have the highest grades upon class room work done during the year, one of each of the three courses. Every pupil is required to hand in an oration, and they are all examined by a committée of judges residing out of the city. The eigh- teen having the best markings will have a preliminary contest, and the nine who are ranked highest in point of delivery will make up the even dozen that will appear on the platform of the opera house. The Falrles' Carnival, The ladies of Abe Lincoln Relief corps. have made arrangements with J. Edgar Owens of New York for the production of his beautiful juvenile opera, “The Fairles' Carnival,” at Dohany's opera house, May 17, 18 and 19.

Epworth Ague Annlversary, The ‘fifth anniversary of the Epworth league of the Methodist Episcopal church will be observed this evening at the Broad- way church. A service appropriate to the occasion will be conducted and will include the presentation to Broadway chapter of a handsome banner on behalf of Mrs. Sarah Mason of this city, who was born in Ep- worth, England, fhe birthplace of John Wesley, from which the league takes its uame. She Is justly proud of the young organization for that reason. The phenom- onal growth of this young people's society bas attracted the attention of the whole religlous world, formed but five years ago. Confined in membership to the one de- nomination, it now numbers some 14,000 chapters and about 1,000,000 members, while the socfety of Christian Endeavor, embrac- ing fthe young people of thirty-one de- nominations, musters only about 1,800,000, The Epworth Herald of Chicago, its official woekly organ, has a circulation of over 75,000 coples, which it fs estimated will reach at least 100,000 at the close of this anniversary service, The public, especially strangers, are cordially invited to attend the service. Jeatousy Among Business Men. There was a man named Othello, Ot gomplexion a rather dark yellow, ho strangled his wife And swiped with a knife The party he thought was her fellow. Yes, indeed. And the whole trouble was that Othello was jealous. The green-eyed monster lurked in his soul, and Melancholy marked him for her own. But lovers and husbands are not the only people who get jealous. There be business men who are as insanely jealous at times as the mad Moor was. And it is among local bicycle dealers you find the most jealousy among business men. Not long ago pardonable pride in- duced us to publish a list of experienced wheelmen who have favored us with thelr orders for high grade mounts, One of our competitors read the list and then experi- enced a “bad half hour,” as the French say. It gave him a “turn” to think that so many wheelmen ghould have bought without con- sulting him. So he rushed into print—and made a Midway plaisance of himself. While it is true that we have sold more wheels this season than all the rest of the local dealers combined, we are rot unduly inflated over it. We are, of course, modestly proud of having done a satisfactory business, but we do not insist that every wheelman who does not buy of us is a chump. We simply state a fact when we say we have the ex- clusive agency in Council Bluffs for nearly all the leading high grade wheels, and we insist that these are the wheels that experienced wheelmen want. We have simply had the good sense to get what the wheelmen of Council Bluffs want. We have a rental de- partment, and have been glad to take old wheels (high grade) at fair prices in ex- change for new. Most of these second hand wheels we have sold, for even a second hand high grade wheel sells better than a new wheel of inferior make, We nced more second hand wheels for our rental depart- ment and will continue for a few days to allow fair prices in exchange. We sell wheels, repair wheels and have wheels for rent. If you want a bicycle you can’t afford to overlook our line. $. M. WILLIAMSON & CO. 106 Maip Street, Council Bluffs.

The members will also assist in the decoration of the graves of all their comrades and soldiers buried in the three contiguous grounds, owned by the Catholics, Hebrews and others, It is to be distinetly understood that this movement does not mean rivalry or opposi- tlon, but simply a widening out on the gen- eral line of patriotism so as to include all the city cemeteries. This Is in accordance with the broad idea or general bellef that in every cemetery or burying place of every city, town and hamlet of the nation where rests one or more of the nation’s defenders there should be flowers scattered upon every grave.on this great national Memorial day. There are enough patriotic people in this city to make several congregations too large for satisfactory hearing of speeches and music. Many have not attended for years because of the multitude of people and the immense throng of vehicles, My Motto Is to increase my business and become popular with my customers. I shall there- fore guarantee all shoes at my store to be Jjust as represented; will warrant every one courteous treatment and proper fit, and will sell anything in the large stock I purchased of F.

Up-to-Date Plumbers, No little public interest has been awakened by the transmogrification of the dingy chrysalid of a bullding at 520 Broad- way into the present handgome front, and Mossrs. Stephans Bros., the firm of bright young men who have used it for years as thelr plumbing establishment, are being heartily congratulated. The improvement naturally calls attention to thelr business and the character of work they are doing, and thus Is revealed the fact that many of the finest jobs of plumbing and steam heat- ing in Council Bluffe and adjacent cities are thelr work and that they are among the foremost plumbers and fitters of the two citles. Both of the brothers, ‘W. F. and E. F. Stephans, are practical plumbers of large experience and know every detail of thelr work. In their salesroom they now show a magnificent line of marble lavatories, porcelain enameled baths, marble slabs, decorated bowls, tanks and closets. They take the same pride in securing the best goods as in doing the best work. They invite inquiries for estimates on work and will meet all competition. Mrs. Hough Takes Morphine.

It is claimed her husband's actions are the cause of her attempt at suicide, A Waverley Answer. Why should ‘a kbwing machine costing $10.00 at the factory retail for $55.00? Why should a’bicycle costing $45.00 retail for $125.007 $14 Why should a buyer pay $125.00 for a wheel in . Couneil Bluffs when dealers In other towns sell, the same wheel for $90.007 There are forty-one Waverleys being ridden in Councll Bluffs, and_every one has been bought with money and not two-thirds pald for with an old wheel, as has been the case with three-fourths of the $125.00 wheels sold here this year. Reader, if you do not buy for money you hold the bag for the man who got two prices for his old wheel. See? A $1,000,000 corporation guarantees the Waver- ley equal to any wheel made, and we sec that guaranty made good. Of the thirteen riders mentioned In yesterday's Bee as buy- ing $125.00 wheels,twa got wheels at cost, nine traded in old wheels at blg prices, one paid over half in jewelry and one Is a son of the boss.

In fact investors in this wonderful camp have so many as- surances of safety and the nominal risk taken makes it the opportunity of a life- time.

DES MOINES, May 12.—(Special Teleg am to The Bee.)—The most important opinion in the .supreme court this morning was written by Judge Robinson and settles the contest between the Des Molnes City Rail way company and the city of Des Moines over the sewer matter. A sewer was ordered put in on West Twentieth str last summer by the city and the ordinanc located it in the middle of the strect under the railway company's track, which made the removal of the latter necessary. The railway company took the matter into court for adjudication, and on a hearing of th case Judge Balliet wrote a decree for the city and the company was obliged to take up its tracks. The case was appealed to the supreme court and the decision reversed so that the company does not have to tear up its tracks and put them down at its own GALLG when the city makes public im- IO Gave the vements.

There is a bitter feeling in every county in the district against Hayes, growing out of postofiice fights, and as Hayes is after a fourth term and has been of little value to the district the republicans are not without hopes of defeating him, thus sending a solid republican delegation to con- gress from lowa next fall. TOMPKINS AND HIS WIFE. She Says that He is a Bad Man, with a Gun, Mrs. Maud Tompkins, a domestic em- ployed at the Millard hotel, went to the po- lice station yesterday to secure protection from the threatenings of her husband, Wil- let, better known as Ned Tompkins. She says she was married seven years ago, and that two children have been born, one a girl of 6 and the other a boy of 3. The husband at once, after their marriage, began to neglect her, and shortly after to abuse her, He stopped working and she had to make a living for him, herself and the chil- dren. When she refused him money he ‘abused her, and things became so unpleas- ant that about a year and a half ago she left him. She secured employment at the Millard in the capacity in which she is now engaged, and has also found a home for the children in a private family. Her hus- band, soon after she left, sent a letter to her asking that she return and live with him, which she refused to do. His letters usually began with “My Dear Wife.” The first part of the letters was usually pleasant and told how happy they could live together, but she was surprised when about two months ago she received one which closed with, “If you do not return to me I will kill you.” This badly frightened Mrs. Tompkins, but she did not, however, return. Soon an- other letter of the same character was recelved, and then another. All containing @ threat that unless she returned he would surely kil her. The letters became a regular thing, and now she says she receives them som times as often as twice a day. These have ceased to cause her much annoyance, but her husband’s conduct has within the past few days been such that she has become alarmed. She says he watches about the hotel till she leaves, and, following her, he makes threats on the streets, He at night waits about the hotel entrance until, she says, she s afrald to e the building. Last Wednesday she went to the postofice and Tompkins was standing in- side, evidently waiting for her. She en- tered, not seeing him, and the first Intimation she had of his presence was seeing a re- volver in her husband's hands. She shrieked and a friend who went with her ran in and sald: “You shall not harm her while I am here,” and then Tompkins, seeing a crowd gathering, hurriedly left. Tompkins says that all he ever sald to his wife was that she was ot properly car- ing for the children Remarkable Cure of Kheumutism, One of our customers who had been troubled with rheumatism for a number of years was cured by one 60-cent bottle of Chamberlain's Pain” Balm.

T BOARD OF HEALTH IN A BOX, Finds Itself Unable to Control the System of Haullng Garbage. About the most troublesome matter which the Board of Health has on its hands these spring days is the garbage hauling question. At the present time there is little or no system in the regulation of this business. According to the ordinance no one is al- lowed to haul garbage without a license, but owing to recent complications there is nothing to indicate who shall have the au- thority to issue the permit. The result is that every man who can command the sery- ices of a team of mules and a clumsy wagon considers him:elf at liberty to cart away garbage, and the commissioner of health is powerless to put any check on the business. This condition of affairs is very naturally accompanied by a great deal of careless- ness and delinquency on the part of the teamsters. Numberless complaints are sent in by property owners, but, as a rule, the commissioner s unable to afford any re- lief. Only a few of the complaints ob- Ject to the prices charged for hauling the garbage, .but they unanimously protest against ‘the slipshod manner in which the work is accomplished. Many of the haulers have nothing better than ordinary dirt wagons. In these they cart away night soil and garbage of every description, and on account of the incompleteness of the ex- isting ordinances they are comparatively safe from punishment. There Is scarcely a night but that some instance is reported where the contents of 00ls and other offensive matter is scat- tered along streets in the residence portions of the city. Other complaints refer to the fact that the garbage is dumped inside the three-mile limit, and in some cases even in side the city limits. The other morning when Street Sweeping Inspector Gibson was driy- ing up Cuming street he noticed a quantity of night soll strung along the middle of the pavement. It extended for several blocks in sufficient quantity to be exceedinly of- fensive and had evidently been dropped from the rickety wagon in which it had been hauled. The inspector took the back trail and followed it without difficulty. It led him up and down several streets and through alleys right up to the outhouse from which the offensive matter had been taken the night before. The house to which the premises were at- tached was a rented one and nelther the landlord nor tenant seemed to have any ldea who the man was who hauled the garbage away. He evidently got wind of the fact that the officials were watching the case, for he has neglected to call for his pay and it is impossible to tell whether he is one of the regular contractors or some irresponsible teamster who Is taking advantage of in - sistencies of the garbage regulations to make a few dollars on the side. Several cases have been reporte garbage has been dumped during the night almost In the heart of the city., A few nights ago several loads were dumped at Twenty-eighth and Cuming streets, where some of the street sweeping refuse is dis- posed of. Many complaints have been made on account of dumping the garbage on the lowa strip and Commissioner Saville bas made several attempts to make a case against tha gullty parties, but without success Three men were arrested and tried in police court. Two were dismissed and the third was found guilty of violating the ordinance and fined. He immediately took an appeal to the district court and meanwhile {8 going right on as before. Dr. Saville contends that he would be able to control the hauling and disposal of gar bage in a satistactory manner If the author- ity to lssue permits was given him by the council. He has endeavored to secure the passage of a resolution giving him that authority, but the council refused to sider the proposition. It Is useless for to have persons arrested for hauling without a permit, as the courts will not hold the defendant as long as he can easily show that 0o means are provided by the city in which he can obtain the required license. At the last meeting of the Board of Health Pluwbing Inspector Duncan called attention where Steam and Hot Watar Heating for Residences and Buildings.
