"The urrest of William Carnahan by Officer

homo a carnage load of mourners from IKa
funeral. The sensational arrest hns caused
no IIttlu discussion , and the ofllcial inquiry
is started to get at the real facts of the :
matter. '
T. Hyan , who wound up his celebration of
Labor day by smashing the furniture in his
hotiso and scaring his wife by a threatening
club , was before Judge McGee yesterday
morning. His wife did not appear against
him and the old man had his story his own
way. He said the woman drove him to
drink and angered hltn so that ho overstepped -
stopped the bounds of moderation. He 3rHS
lot olt with n 5-10 line , which with a bill for

A rather sensational article In a Crystal
Lake , 111. , pa per announces a fact of some
interest to Council Bluffs people who have
misseil the two bright llttlo children of veS.
T. Smith , an electric ! belt man. It will S.bo
recollected that when Mr. Smith took the
children from the care of his housekeeper.
Miss Winnie McDonald , at DCS Moines , that :
conslderablo newspaper notoriety was Riven
all parties concerned nnd that .Mr. Smith
inailc sonic sensational charges against Miss
McDonald that wcro not sustained. The
Illinois patter states that the children have
been rcscueo by their father anil placed
in the custody of their grandmother at
that place. Then follows a remarkable
account of Miss McDonald's connection with
the domestic ; affairs of Smith ; that she had
kldnapul the children thrco years ago , and
that for eighteen months Sirith had sought
In vain for them and only accidentally found
them under assumed names , traveling with
a theatrical company ; that Miss McDonald :
had mortgaged his household goods for'l,000
nnd luiil secured 57,000 by other means from
him. All of which will bo rather queer :
news to Council Bluffs people who are famil
iar with the facts and Miss McDonald's
heroic efforts to maintain a homo and glvo
motherly care to the bright llttlo orphans. )

The flro department xvas called out at an
early hour .yesterday morning by n llttlo ,
but hot blaze , discovered la a pile of rubbish
nnd barrels In the roar of a Mala street bottling
tling establishment. Owing to favorable
circumstances the flro was spoodtly put out
and llttlo damage was dono.
The condition of the surroundings as thus
called attention to forms an excellent text
for the giving of an exhortation to the city
authorities and property owners , for the
same conditions are found to exist In many
parts of thocity. Alloys are common dump
ing places for piles of mnnuro , old paper ,
boxes , etc. , thcso combustible piles being
often In such ctoso proximity to
wooden shoils and barns filled with
hay , that at almost any tlmo this city may
awuko to the awful realization of how great
a lire n little sparlc tuny kindle. A cigar
slump or match tossed nsldo by some
careless or drunken hand Is liable at any
tlmo to start a blaze which , if notdlscovcied rr rl l
in time , or if starting with wind and weather
favorable for qulcic flames , might sweep
away n great deal of valuable property.
In looking over the situation yesterday
there was noticed in the rear of one store
the gathering of a pile of papers and straw ,
preparatory to an exterminating bonfire , and
yet right across the alloy was a stable , the
loft door of which was open , and out of it
was hanging n great bunch of hay , waiting
temptingly for any flying spark. A hasty
Inspection of the alloys In the main part of
the city reveals the presence of many such
threatening combinations and it does seem
that where u sure preventive can bo secured
by such little trouble or expense prompt and
decisive action should bo taken. Theusoof
the alleys as dumping grounds is also an in
justice to those property owners who do
keep their promises clean nnd who are striv
ing to take every possible precaution against
fires. Citizens generally should take a peep
Into the alloys and see for themselves what
chances thera nro for fires. Perhaps In this
way a sulllclcnt amount of public sentiment
may bo aroused to cause an enforcement of
the ordinance : ) .

Police Think tluit They Huvo Captured a
Much Wanted Criminal.
The police made a capture yesterday
which gives promise of being of moro than
passing Importance. The fellow gives his
name as Fred Kiester. For several weeks
ho has been hanging about South Omaha ,
claiming to bo interested in stock , but beyond -
yond taking a good deal of Interest in the
markets with bin mouth ho never seemed
to bo very nctivo in deals. At the Transit
house he hail run a board bill of about ? l2 !
and the landlord was getting a little too per
sistent for payment to make it real agree !
able for Kiester Yesterday forenoon
the landlord learned that Kiester had given
a check to another creditor for$18 , and
that the check nud proven to bo nda
forgery. Just as things thus began to
break out in spots yesterday morning ICies- :
tor suddenly concluded to leave , and , borrow
ing 15 cents fur car faro from ono of his good
nuturcu acquaintances , bo started down teen
the city. By a shrewd surmise this fact.on
becoming known , led to the conclusion that
ho was intent on coining ovur to Council
Hluffs , this being the exact amount that
would bo required to make the journey.
With this clew the landlord cauin over 3y.to
this sldo and found his man at the transfer.
An ofllccr was called and the fejlow was
given a ride in the patrol wagon. At the
station ho was booked with beluga fugitive

refuses to go back across :

over thirty , have gone to Silver City with
the determination to continue the search.
They will not listen to any suggcsitlon that
Watson has voluntarily disappeared , and the
most rigid examination fails to show any
circuuistnnco in his business or social rela
tions indicating tiny motive for such nn act.
When he left homo last week ho arranged tea

All the members of the city council , with
the exception of Alderman Goiso , were
present at the regular monthly meeting
Tuesday evening.
The reports of the city officers wcro pre
sented , and referred to the finance com
mittee.
The city moat nnd milk Inspector reported
that ho had condemned a few lots of fifteen
to thirty pounds each of corned beef , fresh
beef and spare ribs , and that ho had visited
all the milk dairies in the city and found
them In a highly satisfactory condition , and
the olllclal tests were all above the rc | lured
IH ! ( ) standard with two exceptions , where the
the tests were twenty and forty degrees
short.
No reports were received from the poll tax
collector aim health inspector and they were
ordered to comply with the law.
James W. Snodderly's petition for remis
sion of taxes on account of alleged disability
wns rejected.

burgh addition for the vacation of some lots
unlawfully occupied by the city for street

Tno now and corrected ordinance reducing
the street car faro to y cents on Broadway to
Avenue A was placed upon Its second reading ,
nnd after a hot colloquy between Aldermen
Keller and Smith , it called uo various amend
ments. Smith wanted the ! i-cent clause to
apply to all streets In tno city. Ho refused
to accept the proffer of n similar ordinance
for South Main street. Ills amendment was
lost , but an amendment making it include
the Manawa motor line , proposed by Hath
away , was passed.
At this juncture Alderman Tibbotts moved
that thu ordinance , in its original form and
with its amendments , be laid upon the table
indefinitely. No second was found , but tho.
council , by courtesy , voted unanimously
against it , with the exception of Tibbotts.
A motion Jtoj read the ordinance a third
time was debated to the point of complete
confusion , and when the vote was taken the
aldermen wore astonished to discover that
they had killed it. It was finally agreed
that it was the second reading under con
sideration and the ordinance tlicr. sailed on
smoothly to its final passage.
The twin ordinance .regulating transfer
checks nnd compelling street railway com
panies to Issue them and accept them
within thirty minutes was taken up and
passed. Alderman Smith wanted the
Manawa railway also included , so that If a
fellow took a 3-cent ride on tbu electric lines
he could get a transfer and rlilo down to the
city limits on his way to Manawa for noth
ing. Other aldermen were satisfied that
the amendment would bo illegal , but they
passed it with the understanding that Smith
should make the test case.
Alderman Nicholson offered a resolution
requiring oho mayor and polU e commission
to investigate the arrest by Officer Murphy
of the hack driver f \ > ll t 1111 IIU 11 , while 1 return-
ing from a funeral. Approved.

Sensation Sprung-by'lie Defense in the
Mawhor MUrdei Trial.
SOME DOU3T AS TO THE HANDWRITING
Note that Was 1'ounil in tlio Lumber Kooin
Ucolitrcil Mr * . Alawhnr's Ilopo that
Her Third Attempt at riut-
clilo Would Succeed.
AVOCA , la. , Sept. 0. [ Special Telegram to
TUB BEE. ] All the testimony has been ,
taken in the Mawhor trial and the nrgu- ,
ments were commenced today , the opening
address to the jury for the state being con
cluded before court adjourned. The chief
witness for the defense was Leah Mawhor ,
daughter of the defendant. She pave her
testimony in a convincing way , adding what
ever she could to favor the case of her father.
It was brought out in evidence last week
that the relations between Leah nnd her
stepmother were not the most pleasant , and
this was corroborated today by the young
lady's own testimony. But the most sensa
tional piece of evidence that has been Intro-
d'uced during the whole trial was a scrap of
paper , purporting to bo a bit of a note writ
ten by Mrs. Mawhor , in which she declared
her Intention to commit suicido. The bit of
paper was identified by Miss Mawhor as
boinc in her isteumother's handwriting , und
said sno hoped she would bo successful in
this , her third attempt to kill herself.
Leah Mawhor tcstillcd that the first trou
ble occurred between her father and her
stepmother over a surprise party. She had
asked her schoolmates at Axtell , Kan. , to
como over and spend the night with her , and
they had declined. Later they ciuno and
surprised the family. Her stepmother said
she was a liar , and she loft homo. She said
her stepmother hud twice told her , she had
attempted suicide.
Here the dolonso sprung their surprise on
the state , offering In evidence a scrap of
paper on which was written : ' 'Before the
morning of the ' . ' (1th ( of Octoocrjl hope my form 1
will ho cold. This is the third , and I hope
it will bO'ft success. " This paper was identi
fied by Leah Mawhor as being in her stop-
mother's handwriting ,
H. I. Mawhor , who furn'shed this ploco of
paper , tcstillcd lie found it In the lumbar
room of the defendant's house a few days
after his arrest. Ho was searching for p.l .
hon when ho found the paper.
On cross-cxaminiUiQlnof Leah Mawhor it
was developed that Hho. was famlllnr with
the hun Jwritlng of hcnislopmother , because
when she left homJunto go to Illinois her
stepmother wrote her loiters dictated by
tlio defendant. f < >
Mrs. Krnnzcskn Krbeck. on rebuttal , tcs
tilled that the note was. not written by her
daughter. Contrary'toitho general oxpetita-

IOWA STATK FAlIt.
Mrs. Ellim Fouler StiinilH Up Tor the Inilc-
lifMiiliMirn of the W. V. T. U.
DKS MOINES , Sept. 0. [ Special Telegram
to THE BEE. ] The attendaneo at the stale
'air today was estimated by ono of the
ofllcers at the close at 85,000. It was old
soldier's day and many veterans were pres-
nt from all parts of the stato. There wore
no formal exerciser , but there wore a numoer
of regimental reunions on thu ground. Hon.
T. Campbell was the speaker at the
Fortieth Iowa's sixth annual meeting.
Among the special features of tno fair was
ho attendance of the Tippecunoo club In a
uody and a meeting at the Polk county
building in the afternoon. The speakers
were : Hon. Frank D. Jackson , Joel P. Davis ,
Mrs. J , Ellen Foster , W. 13. Odoll , Captain
Albert Head nnd Hon. Lewis Todbtinter.
Airs. Foster spoke for the Women's Chris-
tlan Tomporunco union , saying it had sup
ported prohibition from the first , and sus
tained all measures that would lu-ing about
the abolition of the saloon. The Women's
Christian Temperance union does not stand
for the republican party nor the democratic
party. Neither docs it stand for the repub
lican prohibitionists , tlio populists , the
straight prohibitionists or any . other party.
It is not pK-dgod to any party. Hutjardlng
the present outlook Mrs. Foster said that u
man was u blockhead who said ho did not
cure for the coming contest. Ho must ho
less than half a man if ho docs not care for
the way things are mixed. Some men do
not know where the path of duty lies. They
are on the fence ; but that is bettor than
being on the wrong side. It does not be-omo
us to impugn the motives of any man who
hesitates. The Woman's Christian Tern-
pcranco union has nothing to say about the
planks and the platforms of the parties as
nn organization , n will worklo secure men
for the legislature who will sustain prohi
bition ,

garding the movement against the tern-
puranco plunk of the Iowa rcpubllcun plat
form ex-Senator James Hat-Ian
, ot Ml.
Pleasant , under ditto of September , re-
piles at considerable length , Ho declines to
endorse the alleged citizens movement for
prohibition , saying the election of proposed
nominees docs not scorn to him to bo within
the rungo of possibility , and continues ;
' Hence , ovqry republican vote cast for them
will weaken the republican party and
strengthen the democratic party. Your
propose ' ) ! organization gives the democracy
of Iowa' , in my 'opinion , its only hope of suc
cess at thu next election , and if Horace
Holes should bo again elected governor of
Iowa , with a democratic majority in the
general assembly , two things will doubtless
occur , viz. i First , a democratic United

sent Iowa und vote steadily against repub
lican principles In that great forum from
the 4th of March , IH'JS , until the -Itti of

hibitory llnuor law will certainly be re
pealed and some sort of a license law will
bo enacted iu its placo. "
