Although J. E. KavanaUgh's physical dis
ability compels him to go through life with
but one leg ho appears to be able to travel
Just as fast as a man with two sound limbs.
At present Mr. Kavanaugh Is a much wanted
man by the police and W. J. Smith , who
owns a livery barn on Scott street. Kavan-
augh's falhire to return at the stated time
with a buggy and a team belonging to Smith
IB the reason why the police arc anxious to
secure some trace of him.
hast Saturday Kavanaugh , accompanied by
a woman whom he represented to be his wife ,
registered nt the Pacific hotel. He at once ;
entered Into negotiations with Landlord
Mcssmore for the purchase of the hotel , as
ho claimed to bo looking for some location
to go Into business. He displayed a big , fat
roll o ( bills and his talk Indicated that ho
was possessed of means. Subsequent events
have led the police to believe that the roll
of blUs ho was so particular In displaying
was a "Hash" roll.
Landlord Mcssmoro was willing to sell
his Interest In the hotel and the price was
named. The only thing that remained to
close the deal was the payment by Kav-
annugh of the money. This he was to do
Thursday , but Messmoro still has the hotel
on his hands and Kavanaugh's alleged wife.
Tuesday morning Kavanaugh told Mess
moro that ho was going a short distance Into
Nebraska to fetch a niece , who was a first-
class cook and whom he wish to place In
charge of the kitchen at the hotcr. Ho went
to Liveryman Smith and hired a buggy and [
double team , saying ho would be back
Wednesday. The story he told of his pur
chase of thu hotel and the roll of bills ho
took care to display satisfied Smith that he
was hiring a rig to a perfectly responsible
party , but Smith has slnco learned to his
regret that appearances are often deceiving.
When Kavanaugh failed to return nt the
stipulated tlmo Smith became anxious and
notified the police. Information was re
ceived that the missing man and team had
been at Plattsmouth and Smith at once left
for there. He returned yesterday morning ,
but Kavanaugh and the team are still , as far
as he knows , going south.
STI-IIII 111 the Illvcr.
Smith learned that Kavanaugh took des
perate chances In crossing the Platte. The
river Is much swollen and the ferryman
at first refused to take the team across.
Kavanaugh , however , Insisted and the fer
ryman finally agreed to carry him across
at his own risk. When within about 100
yards from the opposite shore the ferryboat
became loosened from the cable and com
menced to drift down with the stream.
Kavanaugh lowered the top of the buggy
and jumping up on the seat lashed the
horses until they sprang from the boat Into
the river. The horses , guided by Kava
naugh , swam to the shore. When he
reachedPIattsmouth Kavanaugh put up the
team at a barn for' three flours and then
loft town In th < a direction of Nebraska City.
On leaving Plattsmouth Kavanaugh was ac
companied by a widow named Band. This
Information Smith secured from the woman's
18-year-old son. It seems that Kavanaugh
had been In Plattsmouth on several previ
ous occasions and had become very Intimate
with the Widow Band.
At Nebraska City It was learned that
Kavanaugh and the woman drove through
there shortly before dusk Tuesday night ,
but did not stop. From there all trace of
them has been lost.
The woman , who registered at the hotel
hero as his wife , admitted to the pollc yes
terday that she was not married to Kava-
naugb and that she had only been living
with him a couple of weeks. She claims
'to know nothing about the man. The sus
picion of the police that the roll of bills
displayed by Kavanaugh was a flash one
was strengthened when It became known
yesterday that before leaving Tuesday he
borrowed ? 5 from one of the employes at
the hotel. Kavanaugh appeared to be about
45 years of age and looked like a plain
business man. The pollco think ho Is a
"grafter" of the first water. Cards con
taining his description and that of the team
were sent broadcast over the country yes
terday.

DI3CIIEI3 IX INJUNCTION SUIT.
IN I.ON" Favorable tc > Hoard of Educa
tion Timii the Hilling ; Wax.
The decree In the Injunction suit of Slack
Peterson against the Independent School
District of Council Bluffs was resolved here
yesterday morning from Judge Green for
entry of record In the district court. The
decree Is even more unfavorable to the
Board of Education than was anticipated by
the ruling previously received. It orders
"that a temporary restraining order Issue
enjoining the defendants from paying for
the slto of the now High school building , or
any work done thereon until the determina
tion of the appeal now pending before the
Hon. II. W. Sawyer , county superintendent
of Pottawattamlo county , Iowa , and for
thirty days thereafter ; and In case of appeal
from his decision within ten dajH from the
rendition thereof to the state superintend
ent of public Instruction , until the said ap
peal will have been finally determined. "
The law provides that either party dissatis
fied with the ruling of the county superin
tendent has thirty days In which to appeal
to the state superintendent , but by Judge
Green's ruling the Injunction only holds
good till the matter Is finally disposed of
by the state superintendent , If the plaintiff
appeals within ten days after the county
superintendent shall have rendered his de
cision. The attorneys In the case are some
what at a loss to fully understand the
meaning of the order , as It will be seen
that In ono place Judge Green says the
Injunction shall remain In force for thirty
days after the county superintendent shall
have rendered his decision , and In the very
next line says In case of an appeal from
the county superintendent's decision within
ten days from the rendition thereof the In
junction shall remain In force until the
matter Is decided by the state superintend
ent.
ent.In
In conformity with the ruling the decree
dissolves the Injunction restraining the
hoard from paying .for the site out of the
school house fund. It also .gives the board
permission to move for an additional rest
bond as soon as the sale of the bonds Is
completed , This , President Sims of the
board said yesterday , would be done , the
very moment the sale of the bonds Is com
pleted. The board will apply for a order
requiring the plaintiff to put up a bond In a
good-Elzed amount BO that In the event of
the board winning the case It may have
something to fall back upon to recoup It
for the expense it ha been put.to by the
litigation. A decision from County Superin
tendent Sawyer In the appeal taken by T.
L. Smith Is looked for today.

Chicago Firm 1'ropnnpN to Kxtnlillth
Them In Council Mill IT * .
At the meeting of the city council next
Monday night a Chicago company will sub
mit an ordinance granting It n franchise
to place Iron boxes In the principal streets
as receptacles for waste paper and other
rubbish , at present scattered about the
streets. The company In return for thus
helping to keep the streets In the business
portion of the city clean will derive an In
come from advertising matter to bo dlt-
played on the boxes. The city In return
for granting the franchise Is to receive 10
per cent of the revenue derived by the company -
pany , The catch-boxes , one of which Is to
bo placed nt the corner or some other con
venient place In each block , are to be made
of Iron , neatly painted , and will bo twenty-
two Inches wide and three feet high. They
are to be made fast to the sidewalk. The
cotnpnny Is to bo responsible for the em
ptying of the boxes at regular stated Inter
vale.
vale.The
The representative of the company was In
the city yesterday conferring with Mayor
Jennings and several of the nldcrmen and
, they all think favorably of the proposition.
i It Is not expected that there will bo any
opposition to the ordinance and It will probably -
ably be passed at the next meeting Monday
night.
There Is a city ordinance prohibiting the
throwing of waste paper or other rubbish
In the streets , but the measure Is not ob
, served and no steps are taken as a rule
) to enforce It. The consequence la that nt
times the streets In the downtown part of
the city are literally strewed with paper
and other debris. The Introduction of the
catch-boxes , It Is believed , will remedy
this , especially If merchants and others are
forced to place their rubbish In the recep
tacles provided for that purpose.
Mayor Jennings Is greatly In favor of
granting the franchise and In discussing the
matter yesterday said : "I am heartily In
favor of granting the .franchise. The city
will be at no expense In 'the ' matter , but on
the other hand will derive a revenue from
these bosses. Even though It may not be a
largo ono yet something will be bitter than
nothing and anything that will tend to keep
the streets clean should be encouraged. The
same plan has ibecn adopted In Davenport
with the difference that the city Itself owns
the boxes and has to bear the expcnsa of
emptying .them. Of course , there Is no ad
vertising matter on the boxes.

Why Dr. Bennett's la So Far Superior to All Others
ShowliiK How the Current Penetrates the System All
Other Belts Burn.
Dr. Bennett's Electric Belt represents many years ot study
