STEALS A PAIR OF TROUSERS
Thief Appropriates Garment Belonging to
j, j Stewart,
ALSO TAKES THE ATTORNEYS SPEC1ACLES
Both MIR. and Mrs. stewart Secured n
Good Look ut the burglars Face
aud Have Given the Police
a Full Description.

A burglar made Attorney ]. ]. Stewart a
visit yesterday morning about 4 o'clock at
his residence on Mynster street. The thief
was not in search of legal advice, but was
after piunder and as a reminder of his early
and unceremonious call, took away with him
Mr. Stewarts gold watch, valued at $780, and
hls gold trimmed spectacles. That the fellow
was not easily scared was demonstrated by
I the fact that after his presence had been dis
covered he grabbed Mr. Stewards trousers,
and although the attorney made desperate
effort to save them the thief succeeded in
tearing them away from MIR. Stewards grasp,
and with them jumped through the window
and disappeared round the rear of the house.
Mr.. Stewart yelled for the police, but this
did not disconcert the fellow as he took suf-
ficient time to go through the pockets of the
trousers in which he found a pocketbook
con tanning nothing but number of papers
which the rascal carefully scanned and to-
gethcr with the trousers threw into the out
house. He then ran across lots and made MS
escape on Washington avenue
The thief entered the house through a win
dow on the east side, and first went into the
parfor where he secured the watch and spec
tacles lying on a small table in the center
| OF the room. Mr. and Mrs Stewart sleep
! in bedroom opening off the parlor, and
| into TINS the thlet maze MS way, CIdNllhS
! on his hands and knees. BY the light of
small lamp, burning in the hall, Mrs.
Stewart saw the fellow. She at once awoke
! her husband and they both shouted for the
! police AS soon as the fellow saw that his
! presence was discovered he rose to his feet,
| and despite the fact that both Mr. and Mrs.
| Stewart were calling for the police he made
| a grab at Stewards trousers on chair at
the side of the bed. Mr.. Stewart also made
! a grab for them and then there commenced
| a tug of war in which the nervy burglar
came off winner Having secured the
garment the fellow ran into the parlor and
climbed through the open window into the
yard
| Both Mr.. and Mrs. Stewart secured Il
good look at the mans face, which he had
made no effort to conceal, and thus were
able to furnish the police with a good de-
scription.
The burglary, following so close upon the
robberies at the Toller and Hart residences,
leads the police to believe that the work is
that of a local thief. So far none of the
jewelry stolen from Banker Hart's residence
has been recovered, but the police are said
to have clew upon which they are work
| ing. Mr.. Stewards watch was solid gold
cased timepiece and was recently purchased
| for $100 from Il local jeweler.

daughter EfIe and Sam Burch of Clifford
on telegram from the sheriff of Hami
ton county They were held here over night
in the Jail by the deputy sheriff on the
ground that they were implicated in tue
raid on the Ellsworth bank.
Mag was arrested at Steamboat Rock, her

more of an investigation can be made

Johnson, the man WHO was killed by the
Ralnsbarger boys. and for which deed they
are now doing time in the Anamosa pen
She is a notorious character in and about
Clifford, where she has conducted question
able resorts for years.
The clew upon which the arrests were
made is said to be the fact that among the
money stolen were a number of 500 bills
marked. Mag Hamilton and the other
woman arrested are said to have been seen
in Ellsworth shortly after The robbery oc-
Cured. Yesterday one of the women came

DREAMED OF NEEDLES EYE.
How Useful Inspiration Came ia
Elias Howe.

When Elias Howe invented the sewing
machine, relates the New York Mail and
Express, he got along very well until he
came to the making of needle; then he
was at a standstill, for he could not dis
cover where the eye of the needle should be
placed. At first he thought that needle
fashioned after the ordinary needle for hand
sewing might be all right, but after much
experimenting he found that it would not
do.
One night he dreamed that he was in a
far distant country that was ruled over by
a savage king. The king ordered him to
construct a sewing machine, and not daring
to disobey orders, he at once set to work,
All went well until he came to the location
of the needles eye; then his trouble began.
The king grew impatient, and finally gave
the inventor just twenty-four hours In
which to complete the machine. and tod
him he must forfeit his life he failed to
finish the task. But he could not invent
a proper noedle, and had to give it up.
Just as the kings warriors were about
to take him away to execute him he no.
ticed that the spears they carried wers
pierced near the head. Like an inspiration
the solution of the needle problem came to
him. and while imporing the savage king
for little more time he awoke.
Although IL was but 4 o'clock in the morn.
ing, Mr.. Howe arose at once and went TO
his workshop, and by o'clock he had moo
eled a needle for his sewing machine with
an eye at the point.

All but four of the assessors have sent in
their assessment books to County Auditor
Innes. The assessors not heard from so far
are those of Council Bluffs Carson,
Norwalk and Valley townships. With the
exception of Assessor Hardin of this city
the delinquents have been notified to hurry
their returns in as soon as possible. Au-
ditor Innes is having considerable trouble
with the books returned by some of the
assessors. The law provides that real estate
shall be listed and valued for taxation in
each odd numbered year and in each year
in which real estate is not regularly as
sessed the assessor shall list and assess
any real property not included in the pre-
vous assessment and also any buildings
erected since the previous assessment This
has always been construed to mean that
such additional valuation as that of build
ings is to be taxed only on the even num-
bered year and that when the assessment Of
real property is taken in the odd numbered
year the enhanced value of the real estate
by reason of additional buildings is consid-
cred and shown only as the value of the
real estate and the notation relating to new
buildings should not be made
This rule has not been followed by some
OF the assessors this year and they have
given value of lands apparently regardless
of improvements and then added the item
of new buildings, which leaves the auditor
the task of computing the increase of the
valuation per acre of the land.
