MAYOR CLEAVER'S MESSAGE.
In the opening clames of lili mesbage ,
which xvas brief , Major Clcn\er thanked the
heads of departments of the city government
for the assistance they lind given him. He
discussed the low figure at which the assess-
on ) have valued the city J5.300.000 , about 40
per cent o' the actual vaulntlon. and the
small nmount of the city's Indebtedness , $248-
000 , which Is within $20,000 of the C per cent
limit under the low assessment. The present
revenues are vury satisfactory The 10-nilll
levy for the general fund raises $51.000 , and
from the marshal's olDcc and other sources
the deficit of $15,000 In this fund Is easily
supplied. He advises the finance committee
to look Into the nature of outstanding bonds
for special Improvements and take needed
stops to secure their refunding at a lower
rate of Interest. If the matter of special Im
provements Is to be continued the mayor
suggests that the system of payment In tax
certificates be given n trial This has worked
In other cities ami has given satisfaction
On the matter of Improvements he says
There nre plausible reasons why our Im
provements ! should go on The propei ty
ownois nlnng cutuln streets have bm-
ilened themselves In order to advance
the city's welfare They have nxsumcd
the expense of putting In Heweri , guiding
and pnvlni ; Htreels , ( .tubing and placing
Hldewalks In fionl of their property , muii >
of these people neither needing paving 1101
newer themselves , but doing It for the best
intc-rests of the clt > , iiiul they simply nsk
In return the eontlmmtlon of this line of
Improve im-nts , and now , after wasting
jeai.s of time nnd thousands of dollars ( if
the people's money experimenting with
vvoithless and expensive ( inputted iniiteilal ,
It has been demonstrated that we can pio-
duee at home the best material , ever } thing
considered , yet tried for paving put poses
t refer to vitrified brick
We Hhould have nt least n paved or pass
able outlet the yenr lonnd In eveiy direc
tion to the HUbtirbs of thecltv East Urond-
wny. East fierce , North Eighth , South
Eighth , Sixteenth avenue from Ninth to
High , and from there a connection to ami
Including South avenue , also Union avenue
to the transfer.
The question of Improving public hlgh-
\\a\s IK one thnt Is commnndlng nt thlu
time the attention of the general public ,
and It might be well to Investigate certain
( Travel beds already In possession of the
elty with the view of utIIMntr their con
tents for this purpose
The Indian creek question Is one that will
requite much futtiie thought. The advisa
bility of enclosing same , as all bevvers
should bo , should command attention , and
Instead of bridging at necessaiy points
fioni time to time , do sectional work , ac
complishing the same end , continuing this
line of Improvement as needed and as the
elty can affoid ,
Our bewer system Is one of vital Import
ance , and the question of suitable and ef-
llclent outlet to the river , controlled by the
cit > , lequlies our Immediate attention.
DELATIONS WITH COIU'OIIATIONS.
It Is to be hoped that the contioversy
between the Council Bluffs and Omaha
Motor company and our citizens may be
soon biought to a sntlsfactoo settlement
The people demand that this company as
sume their legal share of expense of the
Improvements upon streets occupied by
their Hacks , and that the customary
nickel fate is In force over similar lines
be chained. In gianting this the company
would be making little , If any , sacrifice ,
phtcwd financiers claiming the Increased
tiavcl would mote than compensate for
the i eduction In fare
There Is little question as to the advisa
bility of municipalities owning certain
franchises from a business and economic
standpoint Ownership , hovvpver , Involves
nnd requires the expenditure of vast capi
tal. It la questionable whether our cltj's
flnnnelnl condition would admit of a move
ment of this nature nt the present tlmr.
The proper controlling of them probably
Interests us more , and In this age of pro
gress and invention , while new methods ,
Impioved appliances , convenient and econ
omical , are constantlj tailing the place of
old ones , the disadvantage of long-time
contiacts , with their lestiictlons nnd legal
technicalities , nre apparent to nil.
The conjunction of the proposed motor
line betvv&en this point and East Omaha
should meet with encouiHgement , as this
would aflord us dltect communication with
our possessions over the liver and give us
another route to Omaha. Our Intel ests , at
Cut-Oil should bo looked after It Is to be
regretted that the pioposltlon submitted nt
our recent school election to vote a small
levy for the purpose of erecting a school
building was defeated. This portion of our
city has furnished more revenue than hn- >
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. No levy for
park purposes was made last year. Im
provement of the Missouri's banks , the estab
lishment of a local weather bureau and n
government fish hatchery are homo of the
many things the mayor urges the citizens
and council to look lifter. In addition to the
manifold interests of the city already estab
lished.
The mayor announced his appointments
to the police department as follows : Chief ,
J. M. Scnnlan ; captain , D. Maltby ; patrol

MARSHALLTOWN , la. , "April 2. ( Special
to The Bee. ) The most Important case that
has been tried In thin cdnnty for years was
called today In the district court. Novem
ber 9 , 1893 , the grand Jury Indicted Mrs.
Emily Bennett for the murder of Mis ? Anna
Wlesc Both parties were , nt the time of
the murder , living In Vienna township In
the southeast part of this ( Marshall ) county.
Miss Wlcse was n young German girl about
20 years old nnd nt the time of the murder
was living as a domestic In the homo of
Henry Russle. She had nlwnjs born n good
reputation , nnd was a girl of good address
and well thought of by her associates.
About sundown on August 2G slio went
to the homo of a neighbor , Arthur Hill , to
spend the evening. Hill lived about half n
tnllo south of Russle's. It was a moon
light night nnd about 10 o'elock she started
alone to return to the home of her cm-
plojer. When she had reuehed n point
about half way on her return. In a low
pleco of ground , she was assaulted by someone
ono who was secreted In the high grass by
the roadside and was killed
Mr Russle heard her scream nnd told his
hired boy to go and uco If that was Anna.
He soon returned nnd said thnt ho was
afraid to go Mr. Russie then went with
his boy and nlinost Immediately heard two or
three more plTclng screams They ran down
the road and hearing a low moan were at
tracted to the spot where the glil lay , satu
rated with blood from head to foot. Her
throat was cut from car to ear. Later esatn-
Inntlon showed twenty-five stabs on her
throat and neck and that her bkult had been
crushed by a club In the hands of the
assassin , which was still lying near the scene.
Her body was lying by the side of the road
In the grass und the surroundings showed
the struggle had been short but desperate.
Mi. Russlo Immediately gave the alarm ,
and In a very sdioit time the untile neigh
borhood was aroused. The crowd was wild
with excitement and Indignation , and threats
of teriible punishment were freely Indulged
In should the guilty party be found. The
sheriff by midnight was on the ground. He
organized searching parties and systematic
ally searched the country Several days
the search was kept up , but without success.
Sunday , the day of the tragedy , hundreds
of persons drove out from this city and
Joined In the search for a clew The citi
zens of that part of the county offered n
reward of $1,000 and to this the sheriff
added $500.
Suspicion first fell upon Albert E'bcnhart ,
to whom It was repotted the girl had been
engaged , but which had been broken off.
He was found in a few days near Rolfe , In
Pocahontas county , anested and brought to
this city. He had no trouble In proving
that ho was at the home of his employer on
the nlghtb of the murder , und was leleased.
Several detectives eontmcnced work on the
case. Onn of them teen uncsted u young
man by the name of Horuie Hill , but failed
to produce sufllclent evidence against him
und he was diseharged. Govcinor Boles
advised the county attoiuey to employ a de
tective and the state iwojild pay the ex
pense. Barney Shiilti of the Plnkcrton
agency was put to work under the direction
of the sheriff , wh'ch lesulted In the Indict
ment against Mrs. Burnett ?
DID NOT LOSE HER NERVE.
She was promptly ufrostcd and placed in
Jail. Her nttoineys appeared before Judge
Weaver and nsked foi bail for the accused
on the ground that tlic indictment did not
charge murder In the first dcgiee , or that If
It did so charge the evldeiiro attached to the
Indictment did not r.jlsa. u presumption of
guilt , sueh as Is required by law befoic n de
fendant can bo held Svllhtput ball. The Judge
admitted her to bull , fixing her bond at $10-
000 , which was furnished by twenty-two of
the nelghbois. The defendant , from first to
last , while under arrest und while In Jail , has
exhibited but little nervousness , has ic-
talned hnr calmness to n remarkable degiee
and espressos herself as confident of an
acquittal.
The evidence against her will be purely
circumstantial , so far as can bo gathered
from the minutes of the testimony taken
before the grand Jtiiy. A number of led
hairs were found In the murdered girl's
hands , said to bu about ten Indies long ,
which the state will und < rtake to show coi-
respond with the hair of Mrs Bennett. The
club that was found near the body , the state
will claim , was picked up by Mrs. Bennett
when she started from her hou c as she
went out through the cow yard. The
filth and manure of the yaid yet covers
the club. A dress waist taken from the
Bennett house will bo Introduced , which ,
it Is claimed , has blood spots on It. A but
ton Is missing and n button corresponding
to those now on the waist was pkkcd up
where the struggule occurred. They will
also show that blood was found tlic next day
on the door ol Mrs. Bennett's house and
when parties went a short time nfter this
discovery to see the blood It had nil bcin
carefully removed.
Mis. Bennett lived little more than halt n
mile from the house of Mrs. Russle , where
the girl stayed , and In plain sight of the
road leading to the house of Horace Hill ,
where she visited on the fatal evening , and
the claim will bo made that Mrs. Bennett
saw her go there. A piece of ground cov
ered vvltli high weeds and gra'-s extends
from the place whore the murder occurred
to the yards back of the Bennett house nnd
could furnish the only means of escape un
noticed by Mr. Russlo nnd the boy , who
must have been at the spot where the mur
der occurred , before the murderer had time
to get fifty rods away.
One motive for the murder Ifl stated to bo
the Jealousy of Mrs , Bennett on account of
her husband's attention to Miss Wlese. It
Is also reported that several years ago a man
w01 king near wlioro the Bennetts lived dis
appeared and has never been heard from. It
Is chniged that the body of this man was
burled In the cellar of the Bennett house
nnd that Miss Wlcso knew of It nnd was
killed to preserve the secret.
What the state will show In regard to
this fact has been carefully guarded und only
the trial will develop the facts.
