NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS' '
Mee Little Scheme Attempted to Bo Worked
bj the Poll Tax Collector ,
GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR BIG PROFIT
Mr. Mlhrlell't Plan that Would Undoubtedly
Itmult In Iti'iielH to Ulmtcir Som -
thlne flint the Cltf Council Should
Bit Down Upon Itnrd.
The poll tax collector has Just put into
operation i\ plan which , wlnlo very fair to
ook Upon at first , will not bear the light of a
very clear day. He calls upon the citizens
who nro liable for tbo tax , nnd after serving
.hem with the usual notice asks them to re-
.urn the notice to him for a time. "Tho way
the poll tax business Is run now , " says he ,
' 'the ' money Is not spent fixing up the streets
or cutting dctfn the weeds , or anything of
that kind , but Is put Into the city treasury
mil used for paving or sewers or nny other
purpose that comes handy. If you will glvo
mo the notice I will see that a man works
out your tax on the streets , and then you
can pay him $ U when ho presents you t.ho
notice. "
This plan. If followed out , would virtually
| iut the poll tax collector-In charpo of the
work done on the streets , Instead of the
stroct commissioner , whoso duty It is plainly
made by law. Of course no charge can bo
made against the present incumbent , but his
little schema is ono which might bo used to
great personal profit by a man who was not
strictly above a little sharp practice. No
record of the amount of work done on the
streets would be kept by any ono save the
collector , and no report need bo made to the
city council , except of the number of
notices served. The SU could be slipped
down Into the Jeans 'of the col
lector and any man whom ho might
cheese as his pal. The men who
work out poll tax' on the streets do llttlo
enough now , as every ono knows , but if Mr.
Mikesoll's plans were allowed to bo followed
out , the time would undoubtedly come when
the bulk of the receipts of the poll tax col
lector's oflleo would llnd its way Into the
pockets of the collector and the city treasury
would bo made the victim of an out-and-out
steal.
The subject is ono to which some attention
might bo given by the city council. The
Present collector has shown himself rather
independent on one or two occasions before ,
violating the clearest provisions of the law
by taking more pay than he is allowed , and
It Is likely that nothing but a good , hard case
of being sat down upon , similar to that
which the council practiced upon him a few
weeks ago. will bring him to terms in the
present instance.

of the neighbor * had been shooting off big
dynamite firecrackers , and ho and his

the sport. Ono of the crackers had burned
as faras the end of the fuse and then appar
ently went out. Hobert went to pick it up
ot the requestor the man who had throwi.
It , and who supposed the llro was out. Jint
as ho picked it up the cracker exploded. Ilia
right thumb was almost torn from his hand ,
but was loft hanging by a shred of skin ,
The end of his second finger was also blown
off , so that It had to bo amputated nt the
first Joint. The thumb , it is thought , will
bo saved by the aid of several stitches.
Sherman Casey , a young man residing at

consideration. Dalboy'n band wants $ -10
day for Us services and the motor coin pun
would not pay that amount. A proposltio
was made by the company to the park ron

not agree , reasoning that as it was th

the motor company that put up th

il answer yesterday , being unanimous in thel
opinion that such nn expenditure of th

too , that they do not care to run the risk i

Nothing very serious took place thcro ,

Who was to blntno could not bo

who happened to bo present , valorously took
the gun away from Schlfcrll before ho had
any further chance to practice. Sehlfcrll

CAtno , III. , July 5. [ Special Telegram to
Tun Bnn.J Two slaters wcro found by their
mother this morntn ? murdered. A train" Is
supposed to Imvo killed them. The elder
girl , only 18 years old , had been mutilntod
uftcr the manner of the White Chapel
murders. The other a more child , only 7
years old , had evidently been killed after
she witnessed the death of her sister. In
each case the girls' necks wcro cut from carte
to car.
The crlmo occurred near the homo of John
Kay , between Fort JolTorson and Hardwoll ,
Ky. , nine miles from Cairo , this afternoon.
Kay is a , county o nicer nud ono oC the most
esteemed men In this part of Kentucky.
His two daughters are noted In the county
for their goodness und beauty. They loft
their homo about 7:30 : this morning to pick
blackberries In a patch loss than UOO yards
from the house. Their mother saw them
less than half an hour later and they wcro
then separated by some distance , each ono
Intent on lllllng her pall with berries. About
0 "o'clock the mother heard the younger
daughter scream as If she wcro in mortal
agony or fear. She rushed toward the place
where she had seen her lust. In order to
reach It she had to mss the spot where the
older ono had bccu standing' .
florrllio ! Discovery oT the Uuriicr.
Without warning she came on her dead
body lying on the ground. Her throat had
been cut from car to ear. The mother
screamed frantically for aid and throw her
self upon the body or her ( laughter.
J. F. Dupoyster , foreman of a gang of mil-
road laborers , was at work with Ills men
iicar the Mayliold bridge. They hoard the
child scream and started to ascertain the
cause. Then the mother's outcry followed
and guided them to the spot where she und
the dead body of her oldest daughter lay.
Search was at oneo made for the other
girl. She was also dead when found. Her
body was partially concealed by the black
berry bushes only a few yards away. Her
throat I.ad boon cut as her sister's had been.
The elder girl's body had been horribly
mutilated after the manner of tlie Whlto
Chapel murders In London.
It Is supposed that the little ono came
upon the. scene at that instant , had seen the
full tragedy and uttered the scream the
mother had heard and that the murderer , in
order to prevent the child from proving a
witness against him , hud caught and killed
her , too , and tossedhcr body into the
bushes.
Within ten minutes' titter the discovery of
the crime fully 200 in'cif Were on the ground.
The murderer had bperi so daring in his
work that he was reckless of the fact that
so many wore close afl Hand. Near the body
of the elder girl was found a man's blue
( lanncl coat. The wnolo community is
aroused , farms , threshing machines and
oven villages are deserted and all the people
are engaged in the 'search. A number of
suspects' wore arrested1 and though they

The same rates ns quoted above wll
bo put into effect from O < jdcn. In making
hcso rates , the Chlcago-St. P.iul rate is
eft untouched , wliilo the rates in Western
assenger association territory east of the
Missouri river are cut Jl.fiO. This is likely
to urovoko considerable discussion in the as
ociation meeting tomorrow and will probably -
ably load to u reduction in rates.
The meeting of the Western Passenger
association tomorrow will , unless all signs
fail , end in the establishment of a one-faro
rate for the round trip to Chicago during the
World's fair. The proposition to establish
such rates will be made at the meeting , and
if that or its equivalent is not done
two of the roads will threaten to with
draw from the association. Matters may
reach this stage , but are not likely
to go any further. None of the
western roads are doing any great amount of
business , and several of them which have
spent largo amounts for extra equipments
are beginning to worry over tlio failure ot
peoDlo to crowd the trains. The result is al
most certain to be n reduction of rates.
Chairman Caldwell of the Western Pas
senger association has 'decided that under
the revised association agreement officers of
the regular army must pay full faro. The
ruling was asked by the Atchison , which
alleged that some of its competitors wcro
grunting them reduced rates.
