Of the forty employes thirty will he relieved of duty on gundav and the re maining ten will not have extra work to do. The schedules will be so arranged that they will not have to work every Sun- nay. - The new order will not curtail the privileges of the patrons of the office to any appreciable extent, and the men who moat need the full day of rest will get it the carriers. It will probably slightly In crease the demand for lock boxes, and those who have any quantity of Sundav mall will prefer to pay the extra expense to the long tedious wait ahile standing In Una to approach the carrlera'. windows The order will not affect the general de livery. Upon recommendation of Mayor Maloney at the council committee meeting yesterday tha questioning of widening the sidewalks on Broadway west from Pearl atreet as far aa the proposed new paving goes waa referred to the city engineer and tha ward aldermen to secure an expression from In terested property holders. Tha sidewalks rira now thirteen feet wide and the plan a to Increase the wldlh to fifteen feet The atreet Is now firt.v-foor feet wide between tha curbs, leaving nineteen and one-half from the curbing to street tar rails The belief Is that the addition to the aidewalk will not In any measure Interfere with the atreet traffic and will be of great benefit to the people wh' use the walks. The curbing Is in such condition that it will have 10 be replaced, ami the expense of widening tha walks will he less than the coat of the pavement. If the plan meets tha approval of the property owners the combination curbing will prr,nah,. ,,,, ue).,j which will still further reduce the cost Council Bluffs CITY ENGINEER TAKES UP 0FFERTO SELL LOT Real t'.ataie torn pa ay's Protest Made Taa Assessment Onjectloa tailed by Official. l.onx Rattled tor Hand, Then Married Aantbee, Daly Ci Tfcroaiaai nirsrre rTt Rift Wed. din asnday. After having loved In vain for years the one woman whom he believed fate had de creed alone could make him happy, and pressing his suit vainly throughout her years of widowhood up to the time of her sudden Illness and death In Omaha last summer, and In the meantime enduring some stormy ma'rlmoiilal experiences Into which his pride or anger led him, W. H. Butler, one of the wealthiest farmers In lows, yesterday secured a marriage license In Council Bluff to marry b daughter of th woman he loved unavalllngly. Mr. Butler, whose horn la at Neola, ap peared In the offlc of District Court Clerk Harry Brown at t o'clock last evening accompanied by Miss Jessie Rodocker, and with smiling face and steady hand signed the marriage register, making no attempt lo conceal the fact that he had been buf feted by the storms of this world for the last aeventy-seven years and ome months. By his side, equally smiling and confident. Miss Rodocker watched the proceedings connected with the Issuanc of the certifi cate and attached her name to the register without hesitancy. The announcement waa made that they would be married at Neola on Sunday with a big wedding. Bride of Tvety-FI Yean. Mis Rodocker is a most estimable young woman, Juat past 26 years old, and la well known In Council Bluffs and Omaha. For ten years she lived with her mother at the residence adjoining that of former Mayor Rohrer on Vina street, and for a number of years waa a clerk In a leading 10-cent store. A year or more ago they moved to Omaha and resided on North Eighteenth street near Paul. During the ten yeara Mlas Rodocker and her mother lived her Mr. Butler waa their frequent visitor and moat ardent wooer of tha mother. Mrs. Rodocker waa a remarkably handsome woman, under 60 years old at the time of her death, and while sh prized the friendship of the aged and wealthy farmer she firmly rejected his suit. It Is said, to show the beautiful young widow that there were other' women In th world, Butler one day In the autumn of 1908 surprised Mrs. Rhoda Jones, a poor and hard-working widow with aeveral chil dren, residing In Neola, by an offer of marriage. It waa accepted without delay and the wedding which followed on Octo ber 6, 1906, was held In the offlc of Rav. Henry De Long In the corridor of the county court house. The wedded widow with her children left their humble cottage and went to reside on th splendid farm homestead near the town. The nuptial move was not wisely made and troublous times came awlftly for both. Widow Joaes Leaves. The widow Jonea was very much disap pointed In her aged lover 'and. her pres ence In his home only served to intensify the torturing thoughts of another face that would have been so welcome there. Butler Immediately began to treat his new wife harshly and continued it with in creasing severity until she was compelled to return to her little home. The finale was one of the moat sensational divorce suite that haa ever been tried In the dis trict court at Council Bluffs. Butler waa sued for $50,000 alimony and hired a corps of lawyers to defend him. Th suit was finally settled by agreement and a decree of divorce entered by Judge Woodruff on September 28. 190b. The decree allowed Mrs. Butler $150 for her maintenance dur ing the three months the suit waa pend ing. $1,500 In crkIi and a warranty deed to the beautiful homestead, containing twenty-two and one-half acres, worth, it ia said, at least $10,000. Miss Rodocker was educated In the Western Iowa Business college and held several Important positions. Her mother, Mrs. Eva Rodocker, waa the widow of Levi Rodocker, and Miss Jessie waa their only daughter. They 'were Inseparable In their companionship. After their removal to Omaha they lived a quiet and happy life. Mr. Butler often visited them In his protracted suit for the hand of the mother. He took the most kindly Interest in Mlsa Jessie, but could never win her aid in hia siege of the mother's heart'. The daughter always felt a friendly Interest In the kind old man. Mrs. Rodocker was only ill a short time, and up to a few daya before her death waa not thought to be In dan ger. After her death Miss Jessie went to Crest on. Ia.. to make her home with rela tives. Mr. Butler learned that she was not happily situated and he begged until he secured her consent to become his wife He Is tald to be worth more than $100,000. Mr. Butler atated yesterday that they would remain at Neola for awhile and would then probably make their home in southern California. At the meeting of the city council as a whole yesterday the tima was principally devoted to the consideration of protests against special Improvement assessments. The Benjamln-Fehf Real Estate company filed a protest against the sidewalk assess ment of $'.52 against lot one, block six. on the corner of Broadway and Twenty seventh street, and called attention to the fart that the lot was worth actually only about $150. while the special assessments already piled up against It totaled $14645. "If any gentleman of the council wants to take this lot and assume the sidewalk assessment and pay us $75 he can have the lot," the real estate men wrote In the protest. "Can't somebody call the bluff?" inquired Mayor Maloney, anxiously. City Engineer Etnyre was doing a little figuring, which disclosed the fact that the lot. a rather desirable corner, 44x190 feet, would cost about $187. "I'll take the lot, Mr. Mayor," the city engineer said, "and suggest the offer and Its acceptance be made a matter of official i move that the offer of the Benjamln Fehr Real Estate company be accepted and the record made to show that City Engi neer Etnyre is the purchaser." said Alder man Evans. The motion was seconded by Alderman Flaher, put and carried unanimously. An hour later a check for $75 was tendered the real estate' firm, together with a statement of the action of the council. The Benjamins were game, however, and accepted it. and the conveyance was at once completed. The pledge that Etnyre would pay the assessment without protest was also made a matter of record. 1 s The protest of F. K. Hough against sewer assessments against his property on Plainer street was settled on the basis that lie should pay one-half of the amount, exclusive of connecting laterals. The same character of protest from Dr. S. W. McCall on Oakland avenue waa settled In the same way. The bill of the New York Plumbing com pany, presented to Charles Ijirsen for lowering the water pipes In front of hi property on Stutsman street to permit street paving, was another reminder of the unhappy condition imposed upon prop erty owners by the chaotic situation of the water works. The bill waa held up for further investigation. Handred One Years Old. ESTHER VI LLE, Ia., March 11. (Special.) Mrs. Elizabeth Littlejohn. probably ihe oldest woman In Iowa, died yesterday at the home of her granddaughter, Mrs. d. W. Small, at the advanced age of 101 yeara and 26 days. Old age waa primarily the cause of her death, but the direct cause was a severe cold. Her physical faculties up to the time of her death were exception ally good for a woman of her age, the only visible sign of her great age waa a silent dimness of vision. Mrs. Littlejohn waa born at Ayr, Scotland, on February 12, 1810. ,he was married June 3, 1844 to Hugh Little john and to this union three children were born, none of whom are now living.

Murphy, Salesman, Drops Out of Sight of His Family in Omaha Mystery Surrounds Disappearance of Advertising Solicitor Step daughter Seriously 111. In the unexplained disappearance of A. E. Murphy, an advertising solicitor, the police are believed to have come upon a mystery. Murphy la said to have dropped out of the knowledge of his family Wednes day evening at about the same time that his stepdaughter, Faun Hayes, 18 years old. became critically 111. Reporting the affair to the police- Mrs. Murphy was unable to advance any ' clue as to the cause of her husband's departure nor to his possible whereabout. Investiga tion yesterday ffom other sources was met by a' cloak of secrecy on the part of those Intimately In touch with te family. Cor roborating the statement of Mrs. Murphy. It waa said Murphy left his business af fairs In good ahape, had no financial diffi culties and was in a normal state of mind and health, bo far as known. Mrs. Murphy dec'ared there had been no domestic trou ble of serious nature. She announced her belief that Murphy would probably re appear In a day or two. The woman was on the verge of collapse, nevertheless, from the strain of worry over her husband's disappearance and the alarming condition of her daughter. ' Dr. Qustav Halm, who took medical charge of the young girl on short notice Wednesday, declined to talk about the case. He said his patient waa In a very grave condition and that he Intended placing her! In a hospital If she failed? to Improve In a few hours. During the afternoon Deputy Sheriff W. A. Foster, accompanied by an attorney, called at the Murphy home to lend aid to Mrs. Murphy. Foster later explained thit he had been called upon as a fellow mem ber of the Knights of Pythias lodge, nd for that reason as a friend. He aatd he had no official purpose In taking up tha af fair. The missing man is 38 years old. six feet, five Inches tall and weighed about jT5 pounds. The family have lived In Omaha ebout a year and have resided at MS South Nineteenth street about six weeks.
