The city has Issued the expected order to
City Attorney Hazclton to begin proceed
ings nl once to foreclose upon all property
whcro the owners have permitted special
taxes to remain delinquent for two years.
The order refers partlculaily to the Lower
Hroadway property , where the owners have
concluded to let the city have the vacant
lots In payment for the paving. Many of the
owners have paid all of the assessments.
many of them have paid all hut two , and
still n , larger number have paid all but the
last. The order of the council Is meant
to cover the cases where two or more pay
ments are delinquent. At the present time
the city Is obligated to pay the contractor
about $25.000 , and there Is consequently
considerable anxiety on the part of the
ofTlclaln to get hold of all the security pos
sible.
The city attorney Is also empowered to
bid In at all tax sales all of the lots In all
parts of town upon which the city has any
sort of claim In case they arc ever sold for
taxes ,

DCS Molncs today concerning the personal
safety of Abraham Slimmer , the millionaire
Hebrew philanthropist of Waverly. la. This

while at Fort Madison , was drugged and
cither met with foul play or Is now In
carcerated In n private asylum for the In
sane. If anything has happci'cd to him It
Is probably the latter unless later develop
ments show that the persons last seen with
him were not reHllves.
Telegrams received from Waverly. his
home , tonight discredit the entire stor >
and say that Mr. Slimmer has gone to
SIHwaukoo to visit relatives.
Abraham Slimmer Is one of the best known
men In Iowa. Ho U n Hebrew , nlthough
his charities have been largely nonscctnrlan
Ho located In Iowa In an early day when ho
engaged In the stock business. Before the
railroads were built he frequently drove
cattle overland to Chicago. Later ns ho
nccumulateil property he engaged In banking
and Invested In real estate and mcrch.intllo
enterprises , lie never married. Ho has n
sister and two or three brothers.
At midnight tonight n telegram was re
ceived In response to Inquiries addressed
to Milwaukee saying that Abraham Slim
mer was there and safe. Nothing further
than this was received.

This is the way it looks to the
women who do their washing in
the old-fashioned way. Thuy
dread it and no wonder. All
because they won't use Pcarlinc.
Use Pearlinc use it just as
directed soak , boil and rinse the
clothes and the wash-tub won't be
a bugbear. You won't have to be
over it enough for that. No hard
work no inhaling of fetid steam
no wearing rubbing no torn clothes
nothing but economy.
