' Fresh country cgga at Bradley' * today. _ _ rn Steal 'August ' Wendlendt , who operates a saloon on Droadway near the Northwestern depot , turned In a call for the patrol wagon about 1 o'clock yesterday morning. When the wag'on and 1U complement of officers reached the place there were no visible signs of troublo. August , however , had nn exciting story to tell of how a thief succeeded In stealing fourteen bottles of whisky. The officers were somewhat exasperated at the liberties the man had taken with the patrol box , nnd whllo threatening to take away his key listened to his story. Two men rapped on the door after ho had closed up for the night and begged , earnestly for a chance to 8pirnd their money for something to drink. They wore accommodated , and after getting a number of drinks ono of them slipped out the back way whllo tbo other held the at tention of the saloon keeper. A few minutes later when the second man started out to hunt his friend the saloon keeper began to realize that something was wrong. The first thing that had occurred to him was that the drinks had not been paid for. The next discovery was the absence of the fourteen bottles that wcro marked to sell for $1 each. Mr. Wendlendl lias recently come to this city from Omaha. He was robbed of $200 lu cosh , which was taken from his saloon In that city. Wanted A fresh young milch cow ; Jersey preferred. L. W.

The Board of County Supervisors was very snuch disturbed over the reports that came from Des Molncs yesterday announcing that the senate bad passed the reduced assess ment bill with the amendments that the farmers In the house had tacked on , and otter amending It further In some unim portant particulars , sent It back to the house for Its final action. There ls a certainty that the bill will become a law , and the board will have to meet a new condition" things go far as the general county fund Is concormxl. The prospect of a deficiency of $30,000 In this fund every year Is not pleas ant , and the financiers of the board regard the problem as ono that will call for the exercise of all of their ability.

The health odlccrs are doing all that can bo tlono to prevent a general outbreak of measles , but In spite of their best efforts the dlflcnse is slowly spreading to ell parts of town. The present Indications arc that few children In the city TVho have not the complaint will cacapo during the present epi demic. Special Health Officer McCrary com plained yesterday of being almost worn out by the extra strain put upon him to meet the requirements of his office. Ho was ap pointed Immediately after the outbreak In the Pierce street school , when he visited about sixty families and put them under quarantine. Since then ho has had scarcely a day's ' rest. At the present tlmo ho has about ICO families under quarantine , and It Is necessary for him to keep them under some sort of surveillance and eeo to It that they observe the quarantine laws. The worst trouble ho has to encounter Is the dis regard of rule 7 of the regulations of the board. No prosecutions have yet been made for Its violation , but the officer has about como to the conclusion that an example must be made. Many families seem to think that If they licep the sick child In the house they have done all that Is required , and the preva lence of the dUcaso Is not permitted to Inter fere at all with the movements of the other members of the family. Ilulo 7 reads : During the existence of nny contn lous or Infectious dlm-nse In any family or household or place in this city , nnd until after the recovery of the sick anil the dis infection of the premises where such dis ease shall have existed , no person residing In such household , family or place shall bo permitted to attend nny public or private school , ijor any public place without writ ten permission from the mayor , counter signed by the health olllcer , and no super intendent , teacher or olllcer of any school Mhall permit any child or person from any such family , household or place to attend any school without a permit from the mayor , countersigned by the health olllcer , upon the recommendation of the attending physician showing thorough disinfection of the person , clothing and premises.

ForiniilltlcM to lie Rene ThrniiKH In MiikliiK tliv Appointment. There Is considerable , speculation as to who will bo .tho successor of Justice Cook , who died suddenly this week. It will be the duty of lh board of township trustees to appoint seine one to fill tbo vacancy until another Justice can be elected at tlio gen eral election next fall. The appointment must bo approved by the Board of County Super visors , and as the session of the board which la being held now will terminate In a few days the appointment must be made at once. Some formality has to be observed In , the appointment. The board of trustees must bo officially informed by County Auditor Matthews that Justice Cook Is dead and his ofllco vacant before they can take cognizance of the vacancy. Several candidates ar working for the place. The principal ones are E. D. Moore- house , J. W. FerrJcr and Ohio Knox. Mr. Fcrrier fecla that ho has some claims upot It , for the reason 'that ho had such a narrow oscapa from being elected last fall. The claims of Mr. Moorehousc and Mr. Knox are of a general character. Either would fill the office acceptably , and all have plenty of friends working for them. It Is probable the board of trustees will meet on Monday after noon and make the appointment. Heal ENtiitu TrniiKfcrN.

Slio as married , and her husband was a soldier In ono of the Missouri colored regiments. Ho died from Injuries received lu the service , and his widow , who is now au elderly but well preserved "black mamma , " IH living In Council Bluffs with a grown up daughter. The ancient deed was of no service In establishing her right to the nation's bounty , but It was a great curiosity In Its way , It was well preserved but yellow with ago. Mrs. Carpenter re gards It very highly as satisfactory and sub- btantlal evidence that she was worth J 1,000 at an early ago of her life. Dliieil nt the IiiNtltiitv. The Hoard of Supervisors visited the Iowa School for the Deaf yesterday for the pur pose of looking after some bridges and road work In that vicinity.

The Iron steps have been worn bright and smooth by the feet of the thou sands of litigants and lawyers who have tolled up the stairway until they have bc- como positively dangerous. The present board has concluded to remedy the defect. A resolution has been adopted directing the auditor 1o purchase the matting nnd have It put down at once. Drntli nt Dr. II. L Jiinncy.

( Special. ) Now that the snows have nulled away and nursery men nrc making the rounds of their orchards , It Is found that great damage has been done during the "winter to the fruit , bearing trees by the rabbits. Along the river courses , where a number of orchards arc growing , the damage done seems to be the greatest. One man estimates that one- fifth of hlg trees have been killed , which will amount to a Iocs of several hundred dollar ? . Unllko many orchard men , this man does not cut the girdled tree down the first year , but usually Is successful l : healing over the girdled place by grafting. It Is very seldom that the tree Is a total loss. If the grafting docs not work the first year the tree top Is cut off and the meat thrifty shoot from the stump Is allowed to grow. Never before have the rabbits been so destructive as this winter. OXK TICKET AMI THAT OXE FAILED , nn in Vnllillty of nn Elec tion OwliiK to Form of lliillot. HOWARD , S. D. , April 8.

All are republicans ex cept Dana and Debolt. The election , though unanimous , was probably a farce. The new election law makes radical changes In the form ot the ballot and the city auditor pre pared the ballots according to the require ments of the new law , which will take effect July 1 next. The blunder was discovered early enough in the day to have been cor rected by printing new tickets , but Itwas not done. Hiiiielimnn Killed ! the Storm. CHEYENNE , Wyo. , April 8.

( Special Tele gram. ) The senate passed the Berry substi tute for the Tcmplo amendment this fore noon on a close vote , but now there Is a par liamentary tangle over -It which raises a question whether It Is properly Incorporated In the law. The amendment provides that wchen railroads operate reHef associations they ehall not make any settlement of the claims under the relief contract within thirty days otter the Injury 'and ' any money nc- ccptcd by the employe In that ttmo shall not bar action for damages. It was adopted by a vote of 25 to 21. The point of order was made that the bill having previously passed ono house , nn amendment In the other must have a con stitutional majority , which la , 20 votes. The chair held that this was received on the final roll call , but members deny It and the thing will bo settled 'tomorrow. ' The building and loan laws wcro under consideration all the afternoon and some radical proposition were defeated. One was an amendment to limit the rate of Interest these associations might charge to 8 per cent.

The tenato declined to accede to the house amendments allowing an appeal on building and loan cases from the decision of executive council , and refused to accept the house amendment from action with the council members of that body Interested In building and loan matters. The cities and town's bill , the most Jm- portant one that Is yet to bo considered In full In both houses , was taken up In the lower body and read through. Na progress was made and It will require several days In con sideration. The house pasbcd a number of minor bills on which conference reports had been made , and declined to accede to senate amendments to some others and conference committees wore named. It Is now believed that the session will close by May 1. The supreme court this morning handed down a decision In c. personal Injury case brought against * he Durlln ton & Qulncy road by an employe , who ' was a member of the relief association. Th'o decision declares that the employe having accepted benefits under the relief Insurance policy , was fore closed from sustaining action against the company for any other Indemnity , and there fore sustains the lower court , whlch threw the case on demurrers. . r ( j TIIACI3 TUB HISTORY" OF MOIIMOXS. _ _ ? ° ArclmeoloRlonl Committee of Latter Iu > - SnliilH lU'iiorix.

The council chamber was crowded. At the last meeting there bad been a deadlock and no city officers had been elected for the ensuing year.

The other side claimed that unfinished business was In ordpr , and aa the election of officers was not finished they could go ahead and elect , and they proposed to do so. The city at torney was called for and gave as his opinion that an election would be' Illegal , and cited a similar case when the courts' had so de cided. Before this reading was begun the mayor had remarked to the effect that it did not make much difference what the at torney said or read about It , they were going to elect officers any way. This they did , and Missouri Valley now baa a double eet of city officers. AIRSHIP MOVI3S TO ANOTHER TOWN. Seen at Oilnr IliiplilH About Nine O'clock LnNt XJwrlit. CEDAR RAPIDS , la. , April 8.
