Council, Bluffs CISON BY THE BUCKETFUL Vgirrfallr Located la Promt of Stores, II Carries Waa to Bonlif Pests Who Easterly Sip It l. Councilmen Rush New Ordinance Large Batca or Rented lwi Adopted, One of Which Bailee Laugh at Session. Several of the Broadway groceryraen, butchere and provision dealers are uniting upon what promlaes to be an effective plan for destroying the million of fllea that bank on (he sunny side of the street and take advantage of every opportunity to sneak Into the stores. Masses of well wetted fly paper and epongea soaked with arsenical poison solutions are placed In aafe placea outalde the stores, and the fllea that are on the waiting Hat eagerly alp up the liquid when they get hungry and thirsty. The result Is swift and oertaln, and the clerks relieve eaoh other In the work of weeping up the d.-ad files and keeping the sidewalk clear. The polnon potlona were placed In many Invisible nooks Sunday and the millions of fllea that were bussing about the closed doorways all day were slaughtered by wholesale. In some of the entrywaya the dead Insects could have been gathered up by shovels, and In many places the pave ment was black with the bodies. Those who are trying the experiment and about ail who have observed lta effect are confident that If all the business houses In the grocery district would join In the work the fly prob lem would be pretty nearly aolved.

The Clinton fire 'teams en route to the lied Oak tournament did not reach Council Bluffs until S o'clock yesterday morning. The special car left Clinton at 11 o'clock Saturday night and the horaea were very tired when they reached here.

Seccion Ebreman Killed by Train Axe!. Monsoa Struck by Wabash Freight Train on Boad Near ' Mineola, It Is now a very grave queetlon whether any woman or other person can legally ap pear In public or even on the moet se cluded street In Council Bluffs, wearing a peek-a-boo waist, or a modeetly pronounced decollete costume and escape the danger of arrest and pnulshment by Imprisonment or fine to the extent of at least thirty days or $100. At least that appears to be strong probability If one of the five new ordinances rushed through the city oouncll last night under suspension of the rules ahould be rigidly construed by Police Judge Snyder or hla successors. The council last evening began the work of passing amended and emended ordl nances that City Solicitor Kimball waa In structed to prepare In the hope that con' Mictions can be seoured for ordinary mis- demeanors that will not be reversed In the higher courts on the grounds tbat the olty ordinances under which the prosecutions are brought are In conflict with the state's laws. Five of the large baton In contemplation were quickly put through the mill and the other would have been Included It City Solicitor Kimball's typewriter girl had not aoctdentently omitted a penalty clause In her haste to copy the voluminous doou ments In time for presentation. All the ordinance adapted repeal all others con flicting with them and the whole batch were very skillfully and carefully drawn to meet the bad conditions that have pre vailed to prevent the police oourt maintain ing prosecutions for scores of mlsdemean ore. A section of the "peek-a-boo" ordinance aays: "Whoever shall willfully appear In any open place, or before any assembly of peop'.-j clad In Insufficient garments, or In t!is attire of the sex opposite that of the wearer, or any dress or attire exposing the form as to create disorder or disturbance." shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be fined or Imprisoned. This ordloanoe, however, Is meant to provide punishment for a number of obnoxious things and to permit prosecution under city laws of per sona found wearing the wrong kind of olothee. The old ordinance governing such things waa Inoperative on aocount of con flict with state laws. Other ordinances define vagrancy, dis turbances, drinking in public places this one especially relating to "can rushers" and hobo parties and others to defining "disorderly houses and their inmates," who have been Immunu from punishment under the old ordinance whenever they took the trouble to appeal from polloe court Judg ment. The work of making new city laws that are believed to be strong enough to withstand the high court interpretation Is to be continued until all of the defective ones are eliminated. A resolution was passed authorising the water and gas companies to use the con duits on the new Benton street bridge for carrying their mains across Indian creek. A large batch of cement sidewalks in the Fourth ward were cut from the contracts at the request of Alderman Evans. Cross streets on Eleventh, Eighteenth, Twenty intra ana i wen y-iourtn avenues were affected.

Tha board of review, which Is In session during the week, has voted affirmatively on proposed raising of the., assessed valua tion on all the packing houses, the Union Stock Yards company, the Omaha Gas com pany, the Omaha Electric Light and Power company and tha Jetter Brewing company.

The county asseeaors reduced the assessment of these companies and It .Is advanced In support of the above action the South Omaha board Is simply restoring the valuation In oper ation last year.

Tbat Is about the way I feel whenever I am called upon to apeak. I thank you, Aviators and fire Insurance agents with .Nebraska parson thrown in to strike a balance, the number swelled to nearly 200, with the addition of numerous guests of members, had braved the perils of tbe den. Through Amos, literally, they had entered Into a true fellowship, with all the benefits accruing therefrom, with the Uvest bunch of hostlers In tbe state of Nebraska, and they were not to oe cheated out of a speech by the air king Just because he was a little modest. J. C. Mars of the Curtlss aviating staff. officially represented the "Curtlss aggrega, tlon," as he termed It, and spoke for the whole crowd, thanking Omaha for Its hos pitable reception. H. E. Palmer, veteran Insurance man of Nebraska, spoke for the visiting agents In expressing their appreciation of King Ak- Sar-Ben's circus, and welcomed the non residents on behalf o fthe Omaha agents. L. B. Clark, an Insurance man of Lin coin, said he felt honored to be allowed to appear before the knights of Ak-Sar-Ben. 'It Is Just such enterprise as this, he said, that has built up your city to what It Is at tha present time. Rev. Mr. Connelly of Springfield, Neb., said: "I am glad to be with this bunch of men who bave done so much for the good of tha state of Nebraaka. I" pre diet that the time la not far distant when Omaha will mount to Its proper place, high up In the Hat of the nation's greatest oltiea." Ak-ear-Ben's membership has climbed to an even i,bw, with more yet to come. George S. Powell, master of ceremonies for the evening, announced this figure and at the same time made a comparison with the Hat at this time last year. In 1908 the or ganisation consisted of knights to the num ber of only 862. At the close of the season last year the total was 1,810, just 10 more than the present number, GRATEFUL MOTHER TELLS OF LITTLE It Is solely due to Otto Mais, first-class private of tha signal corps! that there Is a No. 12 government- balloon I1n Jdatence, surviving the wind that "rlpiled It away from Its moorings at the aviation field yes terday. Caught In a tangle of rbpes while at work under the big silk envelope when It waa lifted and torn from the earth by the wind, Mais grasped the rip cord with rare presence of mind and Jerked the escape valve open so that the gas might leave the envelope and save the balloon from an unguided Journey to destruction. Had Mala not opened the valve the great balloon would have risen to vagueness In the sky and disappeared a month before the gas lost Its lifting quality and let It drop. When the balloon was seen to be akld aing across tne neid at a terrirto rate a dosen soldiers set out In hot pursuit and raced after It to the tree beyond the south west fence. Mala worked himself loose from the dragging ropes after being pulled for a distance of thirty feet With the gas spurting from the valve at full vent the envelope fast lost Its shape and became an Inert mass of silk when It brought up among the trees. The soldiers took their unhandy toy back to tha fort, and the announcement was made that It would be repaired during the night for a certain trial according to aero, nautlo rules Tuesday. .

Am a greatful mother I feel It my duty to thank: you (or the cure of my little son who waa afflicted for about eight months with sores all over tig head, back of his neck and nearly all hla face. We tried all kinds ot remedies without any relief. We even employed a good physlolan and I am sure be tried hla very best to cure my poor suffering lylttle boy. But, alast instead of getting better he went for the worse. His head was literally covered with scabs and ugly ' sores and his cries kept us awake throughout the long night. I had to keep his bands in gloves to prevent his scratching his head, as he was doubtless suffering from a burning and itching sensation and was constantly trying to put his hands where it hurt. At last when he was about three years old, we saw an advertisement of Cuticura and decided to try the virtues of the Cuticura R-medles. I bought one cake of Cuticura Soap, a box of Cuticura Ointment and a bottle ot Cuticura RevolvenU I used them according to directions and am happy to tell you the little sufferer was cured in less than three weeks. This was over a year ago and now bis head is covered with a fine growth of luxuriant hair. Strange to say, all those unsightly sores did not even leave a scar. (Signed) MRS. O. O. COUVILLON.
