A. W. Hillyear OF Panama, Ia who as
sisted his wife in her attempt to get away
from the Woman's Christian Association
hospital Saturday evening, was released
from the city jail last evening on orders
from Judge Aylasworth.
Investigation showed that Hillyear had
acted on the advice of the physician, who
had performed an operation on Mrs. Hill
year prior to the time the hospital was
placed under quarantine. Mrs. Hillyear has
completely recovered from the operation
and Is in the best OF physical health at pres

EXPECT TO CLEAN The TOWN
City Authorities Are Contemplating = Vic,
Crusade to End the Year.
MORAL WAVE IS RISING RAPIDLY
Slot Machines, Poker Rooms, Wine
Rooms and Picture Machines VIII
Have to Go Before the
New Year Comes.

The statement was made yesterday by
city official that the seizure OF a slot ma
chine run on a cash basis In Mergers Main
street saloon Saturday by the police was
but the forerunner OF a general crusade on
the part of the municipal administration
against all similar gambling devices in the
city and that attention would likely be paid
to other violations OF the law. In fact, this
city official Is authority for the statement
that there would be a general cleaning
up" so that Council Bluffs can start on the
new year with as clean record as possi-
Bile. With the closing UP OF the gambling
rooms and the suppression to large ex-
tent Of the wine rooms, the city admins
tIation has been content to let things go
along without much check The result has
been that all over the city gambling dens
have been run openly in connection with
saloons without Interference from the au-
thorities II is said however, that there
is to be change and "A radical one, too.
The understanding is that a quiet tip has
been given that all these card rooms are
t. be closed and that no form OF
gambling whatever Is to be permitted In
any OF the saloons. Certain saloons have
not paid the order closing wine rooms any
attention and the edict has gone forth that
either the wine rooms go or the saloons
will be closed. Several resorts which pear
a rather shady reputation are TO be over
hauled in the general cleaning up, 1t Is
said.
The crusades against vice inaugurated In
New York and Chicago are said to be re-
sponsible for the city administration de-
string to place itself on record before the
community OF Council Bluffs.
When asked II the police intended TO
follow the example Of Omaha and prohibit
all kinds OF slot machines, whether they
paid in cash or trade over the bar or
counter, Chief Albro looked wise, but de-
clined to commit himself. He said: You
see, we have seized one slot machine which
was run as a gambling device and II may
be that we shall go after the others. We
will know better after this machine has
had it's trial before Judge Aylesworth.'
Mayor Jennings was reticent as to the
, orders for a general cleaning up Oh the
city and was not inclined to admit that
there was any need Of 1t. II do not know
that there are any wine rooms being run
now and do not know Of any saloons hav'
ing gambling den attachments. ! am in
| formed that the police seized slot ma
chine because in this case the saloonkeeper
persisted in running 1t as a gambling de-
vice; that is to say he paid the winnings
| In cash instead Of trade. ] have given nc
orders as yet to prohibit slot machines and

but do not know of my own knowledge, that

tion Of the police or not I cannot say"

Nearly two weeks ago an Italian named
Joe Crispi was taken from a Northwestern
train at Cedar Rapids after he had made
an attempt at suicide by cutting his throat
with a razor. He was evidently at that
time insane and irresponsible He was
taken in charge by the authorities and
kept week and sent on eastward. He had
on his person ticket from New York to
Genoa, Italy, and a quantity OF money. A
few days ago an Italian living in Cedar
Rapids received a paper from San Fran
cisco in which was an account of "a murder
ticket to Genoa The description fits very
well with the man who had been detained
In Cedar Rapids. The authorities at once
commit nicated with those in San Francisco
believing Crispi was none other than the
San Francisco murderer. Crispi claimed
in Cedar Rapids that his life had been at
tempted in Omaha and that he was being
pursued by persons who sought to kill
him.

The recount Of the population of Boone has
been practically completed. This was the
recount authorized by the city council and
conducted by voluntary enumerators for the
purpose OF demonstrating that the city of
Boone has many more residents than re-
ported to the census bureau. The recount
has proved in every way satisfactory The
total OF the recount returned thus far Is
10000, and a few enumerators are vet to
report. The total will probably 70 to about
IL 900. The census bureau has a record of
only $3.50. In the city OF Perry, where the
enumerators had reported unoficially that
the count showed something over T. 300 popu-
lation, the census bureau reported only
1886. and on protest being made that an
error had been made investigation showed
that the actual enumeration as returned
should be 1886, but not as much as was re-
ported unofficially Perry will make no re-
count, although it is believed by all that the
population is actually above 4,500.
