There was a man named Othello , Of complexion a rather dark yellow , Wild 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 grcen-cyc < monster lurked In his soul , and Melancholy marked him for her own. Hut lovers am husbands are not the only people who get jealous. There bo 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 experience ! wheelmen who have favored us with their orders for high grade mounts. Ono of our competitors read the. list and then experi enced n "bad half hour , " as the French say It gave him a "turn" to think that so many wheelmen should have boucht without con sulting him. So he rushed Into print am made a Midway plalsance of himself. Whllo It Is true , that we have sold more wheels this season than all the rest 'ot ths loco dealers combined , wo arc not unduly Inllatei over It. We are , of course , modestly proui : of having done a satisfactory business , but wo do not Insist that every wheelman who does not buy of us Is n chump. We simply stnto a fact when wo say wo have the ex clusive agency In Council Dluffs for nearly al ! the leading high grade wheels , and we Inslsl that these arc the wheels that experienced wheelmen want. We have simply had the good sense to get what the wheelmen of Council Dluffs want. We have a rental de partment , and have been glad to take old wheels ( high grade ) at fair prices in ex change for now. Most of these second hand wheels wo have sold , for even a second hand high grade wheel sells better than n new wheel of Inferior make. We need more second hand wheels for our rental depart ment unil will continue for u few days to allow fair prices In exchange. Wo sell wheels , repair wheels and have wheels for rent. If you want a bicycle you can't afford to overlook our lino. S. M. WILLIAMSON St. CO. . IOC Main Street , Council Dluffs. Thiit WhlHt ( intnt ! .

Reader , If you do not buy for money you hold the bag for the man who got two prices for his old wheel. See ?

TOMPKINS AND HIS WIFE. She fenys that Ho Is a Hud MUM , \\ltli n ( Inn. Mrs. Maud Tompklns , a domestic em ployed at the Mlllard hotel , went to the po lice station yesterday to secure protection from the threatenlngs of her husband , Wll- let , better known as Ned Tompklns. She says she was married seven years ago , and that two children have been born , one a girl of 0 and the other a boy of 3. The iiusband at once , after their marriage , began to neglect her , and shortly after to abuse her. He stopped working and she had to make u living for him , herself and the chil dren. When she refused him money ho abused her , and things became so unpleas ant that about a year and n half ago she left him. She secured employment at the Mlllard In the capacity In which she IB now engaged , and has also found a homo 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 lilm , "which she refused to do. His letters usually began with "My Dour Wife. " The first part of the letters was usually pleasant and told how happy they could live together , jut she was surprised when about two nonths ago she received one which closed with "If you do not return to me I will kill you. " This badly frightened Mrs. Tompklns , jut she did not , however , return. Soon an other letter of the same character was received , and then another. All containing threat that unless she returned ho would surely kill icr. The letters became a regular thing , and now she says she receives thorn some times as often as twlca u day. These have ceased to cause her 'much annoyance , but icr husband's conduct has within the past ow days boon such that she has become alarmed. She says ho watches about the lotel till she leaves , and , following her , he nakcs threats on the streets. Ho at night waits about the hotel entrance until , shu saysBho 1s afraid to leave the julldlng. Last Wednesday she went to the mstonice and Tompklns was standing In- ddc , evidently waiting for her. Bho en- cred , not seeing him , and the first Intimation she. had of his presence was seeing a rc- olver In her husband's hands. Shu shrieked and a friend who went with her ran In and said : "You shall not harm her while I am lero , " and then Tompklns , seeing a crowd gathering , hurriedly left. Tompklns nays that all ho over said to its wife was that tlio was not properly car- ng for the children. Iloiimrkulilo Cure at Hlietiniiitlain.

BOARD OF HEALTH IN A BOX. Finds Itficlf Unable to Control the System of Ilatillncr narlmge. 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 tlmo there Is little or no system In the regulation of this business. According to the ordinance no ono Is al lowed to haul garbage without n 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 serv ices of a team of mules and n clumsy wagon considers hlimelf 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 n great deal of careless ness and delinquency on the part of the teamsters. Numberless complaints arc sent In by property owners , but , as n rule , the commissioner Is 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 fcllpshod 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 oafo from punishment. There Is scarcely a night but that some Instance Is reported where the contents of cesspools 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 thrco-mllo limit , and In some cases even In side the city limits. The other morning when Street Sweeping Inspector Gibson was driv ing up Cumlng street ho noticed a quantity of night boll strung along the middle of the pavement. It extended for several blocks In sulllclent quantity to bo cxcecdlnly of fensive and ) iad evidently been dropped from the rickety wagon In which It had been hauled. The Inspector took the back trail and followed It without dlfllciilty. 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 wcro at tached was n rented ono and neither the landlord nor tenant seemed to have any Idea who the man was who hauled the gurhugo away. Ho evidently got wind of the fact that the officials wcro watching the case , for ho has neglected to cull for his pay and It Is Impossible to toll whether ho Is ono of the regular contractors or some Irresponsible teamster who Is taking advantage of Incon sistencies of the garbagn regulations to make a few dollars on the tide. Several cases have been reported where garbage has been dumped during the night almost In the heart of the city. A few nights ago several loads wcro dumped at Twenty-eighth and Cumlng streets , where Homo of the street sweeping refuse Is dis posed of. Many complaints have been made on account of dumping the garbage nn the Iowa ttrlp and Commissioner Savlllo has made several attempts to make a case against thu guilty partlesi , 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. Ho Immediately took an appeal to the district court and meanwhile Is going right on as before. Dr. Savlllo contends that ho would be able to control the hauling and disposal of gar bage In a satisfactory manner If the author ity to ISMUO permits was given him by the council. Ho has endeavored to secure the paasagu of a resolution giving him that authority , but the council refused to con sider the proposition. It Is useless for him lo have persons arrested for hauling without A permit , as the courts will not hold the ilefundant an long as ho can easily show that no means arc provided by the city In which ho can obtain the required license , At the lavt meeting ot the Board of Health Inspector Duncan called attention | fcrlnir.
