Had it not been for the AthenRum's
| flag, which fioated in the breeze last
Friday, nobody would have mistrusted
that it was Washington's birthday.
Private bunting seemed to have been
laid away and the usual play-day
crowd of visitors was nO'larger than it
is on those holidays which are enjoyed
around the fancied fireside. The roads
We're not especially good and there
was little pleasure driving. Although
it was national holiday, no places of
business were closed. The school
children and the Union school teachers
most enjoyed the day, having some ex-
ercises in the morning and taking a
half-holiday in the afternoon to add to
their regular Saturday recess. The
academy did not close. On the whole
there seems to have been little patriot
ism wasted, and doubtless few of the
rising generation were treated to
parental hOmily on the virtues of the
father of his country. One old citizen
had his memory logged by the weather.
at WAS just such "A day as this" he
ruminated, "thongh the roads, perhaps,
were a little dryer and harder than
now. | remember it well, it was 81
years ago when they celebrated the
centennial of Washington's birth. We
had IA great turnout then, but love of
country has diminished good deal
since then, mOre's the pity"

The town auditors report that
OverseeT Barrett has advanced mon
eys to pay the expenses of supporting
the poor, upon which interest would
amount to s3l.62. A portion of this
has been expended for the poor of
other towns aud should properly be
charged to them, in some instances at
least, but the overseer has waived any
charge for this item" If Mr.. Barrett
has spent this amount for the town it
should be entered in his report and
paid. The casual way, however, in
which it is referred to makes it look
too much like pitiable electioneering
dodge to be very creditable to any
body.

BPPsTEIN's DOWNFALL.
A Council Bluffs Young Man gets Into
Deep Trouble.

Moses Eppstein, who was formerly a
resident of this city, and held a position
in a wholesale house, hasfallen apparently
into the snares. Eppstein was here a
short time ago on one Of his trips for a
Des Moines house, and here got into an
alteration with Pete Drusy, which was
aired up in the BEE at the time. Now
comes the following from a Des Moines
paper:
Moses Eppstein, a trusted and popular
travelling statesmen in the employ of Rice,
Lothian & Co., of this city. has abscond-
ed. He has been with the firm since
April 1. When he left hers he took
with him 800 in cash, a thousand mile
ticket on the Northwestern. April "a he
telegraphed for more money and mileage,
which were sent to him at Missouri
Valley. April 26 he wrote the firm from
there that he had had bad luck, and had
either lost the money or had his pockets
picked. He asked that his mail be for
warded to Sioux Falls, dakota, and said
that he had to borrow five dollars to go
ahead with.
This last action aroused suspicion, and
an investigation proved that he had not
been doing his usual work on the road
and his sample trunk was discovered at
the Northwestern depot in this city. 1t
had been checked from Missouri juno
ton and arrived here April 26, on train
90, check numbered 12,055. Delivery
by check was at onoe forbidden, and yet
it remains in the baggage room. 1t
afterwards came to light that Eppstein
had pawned the check with Cheney Bros.
proprietors of the Cheney hotel, of Mis-
souri, Valley, to secure a debt of $40.
Having lost his samples he went on,
and on Sunday the following was received
from him.
"You will find the check for the trunk
at Cheeney's hotel, Missouri Valley.
The trunk is either in Des Moines or
Missouri Valley. The check at Che
neys.' The check is No. ~ 055. | have
disgraced myself. Will write to you
from st. Louis as soon as | get there"
Nothing has been heard from him
since. He will not be prosecuted unless
he comes back. Cards, wine and women
are to blame for his downfall.

CAGING CANNES.
. Little Squirt Toward Enforcing the
Bow-Wow-Wow Ordinance.

\ Now hat the mayor has issued a pro-
clamation and the council has passed an
ordinance, and a pound has been built,
an attempt is being made to enforce the
~boycotting of dogs.
The new ordinance in one respect is a
strong one. 1t makes it unlawful for any
dog to run at large at any time without
being muzzled, "nor at any other time of
the year." This ought to corner most of
the time. Another section provides that
"it is the duty of the mayor at any time
to issue his proclamation directing the
owners of dogs to confine or muzzle their
dogs for such time as he thinks proper,
and any of the canine specie found run
ming at large without being so muzzled
during the time named in the proclama-
ton shall be killed, whether the dog has
been registered and fees paid, or notify
the owner or owners" This section es-
pecially as regards notification of owners,
has that peculiar olearness which charac-
terizes the legislation ofthepresentlcouncil
The ordinance provides that q license
of 81. % must be paid on each male dog,
and so 80 on each female dog, and the
metallic check fastened on the neck of the
animal, and the marshal is instructed to
impound all dogs found running at large
without such q check. A rack or cage,
fitted onto an express wagon has been
preprred and is now going the rounds
with expert dogcatchers, who, by deity
throwing a wire about the neck of the
unsuspecting canine, lasso him, throw
him into the a G and cart him off to the
pound. Here the dogs are kept for two
days. If an owner desires to redeem his
dog, he must pay not only for the needed
license, but also pay the marshal's fees,
and for feeding the dog. If not redeemed
the dogs on the third day are offered for
sale; unless receiving a bid equal to the
amount due on the dog, the slaughter
commences.
Not only does a penalty hang over the
dog but also the owner, for any owner
neglecting or refusing to pay the license
is liable to a fine not to exceed $50.
Any person who has a fierce dog which
while at large bites anybody, is liable to
a like fine, unless he kills the dog, and
the marshal is instructed to kill on sight
any such animal found running at large.
No one, not even the marshal, is al
lowed to prepare or use poison for killing
dogs, and if they do may be fined 1915.
Yesterday there were a dozen or more
dogs put into the pound, and the work is
still going on. OF course there were
many complaints on the part of dog
owners, but it is hoped that there will be
a general cleaning up. Those who have
dogs which they value at all, can better
afford to look after them than to allow
their biting those who do not want dogs
at all.

years. He was a native OF New Hamp-
shire, but in early manhood moved to

property was recently decided in the

ing been in litigation for years. MI.
