BOARDS Of EQUALIZATION.
FOR THE CITY AND COUNTY WERE
BOTH IN SESSION YES
TEkDAY.
NEW BLANKS ARE FURNISHED
BY the City Board to Banks and Conn
merciaI Institutions, which Were
Believed to Have Made Improper
Returns-Work of the Board OF
Commissioners.

The city and county Board OF EQuali-
cation and Appeals were again in ses-
sion yesterday. and the proceedings be-
fore the City Board were very inter
esting. The County Board took up and
finished the consideration of petitions
from Triadelphia district, and to-day
will take up appeals from property own
ers IN Laberty and Riohland. To-mor-
row it is expected that the Board win
visit one or two places OF property in
Triadelphia district, which owners al
lege to have been assessed too high.
The City Board had summoned, by
advertisements in all the daily papers,
representatives of the banks and large
mercantile institutions, to show cause
'iwhy their assessments should not be
increased" 1t is understood that the
disparity in figures, in cases in which
the Board thought the returns upon
personal property should be approx
mately equal, led to telis action on the
part OF the Board.
A large number of taxpayers, and
representatives of corporations. appear
ed before the Board in the morning.
They were handed new blanks.
The firms and corporations were asked
20 again fill out the blanks AT noon
ShiS Poar11 odiouT>ppd
1t is understood that all, or nearly
all of the taxpayers have again filled
cut their blanks, and that in some in
stances they will show an increase over
the returns previously made. 1t is
not believed, however, that the aggre-
gate increase will be very large.

have communicated with the Pittsburg
authorities with a view Of gathering
evidence which would lead TO the iden-
THY of the man who accompanied the
girl TO the Schmalzer home. AS mere
tofore chrOnicled the man who figured
in the case and was thought to be j.

Grove on a train bound for the Smoky
City soon after the girls death.
State Humane Officer Echols will
serve some of the subpoenas at Metz,

LOT Of CLOTH stolen.
YESTERDAY MORNING AT A SOUTH
SIDE TAILORING ESTAB-
LTSHMENT.
WAS A VERY DARING ROBBERY.
Thieves Gained Entrance Through a
Transom WndOw-Police at Work
on the Case But There is Not a
Clue - Other Police and Jutice
Shop News.

Some time Sunday night thieves
boldly entered the merchant tailoring
establishment of Joseph Winesdorffer,
at No. 2263 Market street and succeed
ed in making their escape with five
bolts of cloth valued at about 5000. The
robbery was not discovered until about
half past six O'Clock, when one Of the
clerks, Joseph Kramer, returned to the
store, and it was soon reported to the
police.
1t is evident that the robbers gain
ed an entrance to the establishment by
climbing through the front transom
window, as it was found open. The
goods were taken from table of the
finest stock, sitting in the centre of the
room. There were also mails on the
siues of the two front doors, indicating
that the men had used tools in an Ell
fort to force them open. The stolen
cloth consisted of five bolts OF black,
blue and black and blue material from
which seventeen or eigAteen suits could
have been made, and the proprietor es-
Inmates his loss at about 5000. 1t is
thought by Mr. Winesdorffer that the
theft was perpetrated some time after
ten o'clock, because at that hour the
goods had, not been disturbed. Immed-
lately upon learning of the case, the
police energetically set to work. The
depots and box cars were closely
searched but their efforts proved of no
avail 1t is evident that the thieves
lett the city soon after making the
haul and there is not single clue
to the guilty parties.

QUESTION OF ELIGIBILITY
OF II. vi. AddIeman for the Criminal
JudgeShip Appears to be Settled
i'm His Favor


in His Favor.
The friends of R. NJ. Addleman, who
has some aspirations to be Judge
have been the last few days somewhat
exercised by reason of Section of
Article 4 of the Constitution, which
reads:
mo person, except citizens entitled
to vote, shall be elected or appointed to
any State, county of municipal Office;
but the Governor and Judges must have
attained the age Of thirty years, and
the Attorney General and Senators the
age of twenty-five years, at the be-
ginning of their respective terms Of
service; and must have been citizens
of the State for FIVE years next pre-
ceding their election or appointment
or be citizens at the time this consti-
tuition goes into operation"
1t is this last clause Of the section
quoted which seems TO have caused the
trouble. But investigation shows that
Mr.. Addleman was admitted to prac-
tice in the Circuit Court in September,
and in the Criminal Court in Novem-
her of the year 1885.
This allows Mr.. Addleman the requis-
ite residence of qualification. While
he would not probably be eligible If the
election was to take place on Satur-
day, he will be eligible at the date OF
the election in November, as it will be
presumed that he decided 10 become q
resident Of the State at the time Of his
admission to the Circuit Court.

Last evening at about 8 o'clock two
cows wandered down Market street in
leisurely manner, but when they were
in front of Houses music store they
were turned back by several men.
When they reached Gundling's, on their
way back, one of them crossed the
side walk and went up TO the door,
which sets some feet back from the
front of the building and gazed through
the glass door. AS it could not get
in as it was shut it began to wash
it with its tongue. but made a poor
job of it. Then two boys arrived who
took the runaways back home. They
had pulled up the stakes to which they
were tied and these they dragged after
them on their trip.

THE AUERONAUTS
Who Have Been Engaged For the
Coming State Fair Are Stars in
Their Peculiar Line.

Coming State Fair Are Stars in
Their Peculiar Line.
The Shannon Balloon Company,
which has been engaged to give daily
exhibitions here during the fair, has
just terminated a very successful con-
tract at the Paris Exposition and pa
pers received by Secretary Hook from
Prot. Richardson show that the ascen-
sions of himself and Mile Retta Dam
celia were not only equal, but far SUI
perior of anything ever attempted by
an aeronaut on French soil
Besides making the balloon ascen-
sions and parachute jumps themselves.
Prof. Richardson and Mile. DanZella
have whole troupe of trained dogs,
goats and donkeys which take their
turns, making the trip skyward. Each
has a little parachute of its own and
at given signals the tie is cut and
off they go sailing through the air
until they reach terra firma in safety.
That the dumb animals enjoy this sort
of work is evidenced by the fact that
while the balloon is being inflated
and matters prepared for the ascension.
the dogs, goats and donkey prance
about and over to their respective sta
tons ready for the trip.
The donkey, which goes by the name
of Minnie is said to be very conf
cal and becomes quite sensational fea-
ture everywhere she goes. Concern
ing her an exchange says:
For the first time in history have
aeronauts accomplished the feat of
training a stubborn donkey to repeat
eddy make this trip to the clouds, but
Prof. Hutchinson and Mile. Danzelle
have taught Minnie" their cute little
donkey to do the trick, and She has
come to like the business first-rate.
This fact Is shown by the seeming will
lingness the little animal displays when
it comes time to be harnessed on to
the parachute, and when the balloon
starts heaYenward the little fellow
spreads out all fours and with ears
and tail extended, gives a knowing
wink. as much as to say, Let 'er go,
Gallagher" and away it goes.
Coming down she looks about for a
good place to alight. just the same as
a human, and, if she sees a tree near
she sways her parachute in such a
manner as to escape it. Several times
she has dropped in river or creek,
and In sucl instances is always quick
to get out of the way of the para
chute so it will not cover her head

at Market and Twelfth Street.
Two Stories That Don't Agree.
The Patient Will Be Given q Hear
ing This Morning.
Yesterday there was another out
break in the painless dentistry estab
lishment situated on the northeast
corner of Main and Twelfth streets.
The result was that the man who want
ed to have his teeth filled was arrested
on a charge of disOrderly conduct. The
arrest was made by Officer Ingram. At
police headquarters the man gave his
name as Ike Jones, and said he lived in
Benwood. He promised to appear for
trial this morning and was released.
The Painless Dentists and the Union
dentists have parlorS on the same floor
and there is a great rivalry between
the two establishments. The painless
dentists and Ike Jones each have
story. The painless dentists story is:
Jones was hired by the union den
lists to come up and try to clean us
out. Drs. Hall, Morrell and Kahn were
standing in the hall when Jones came
up and swiped 16-year-old Joe Adams
on the head. DR.. Camp heard the
noise and came out and asked what
the trouble was about. The fellow
then hit Camp. The police were called
and Jones was arrested.
Jones story is very different. He
says that he went up to have a tooth
filled. The doctors were lined up
along the hall and when he came up
they caught hold of him. there being
five or six of them, and tried to pull
him into each of their Offices. This
made him hot and he hauled off" and
hit couple of them. The police were
then called and he was arrested.

Waterloo, Sept. 15.-The September

Monday at 10 o'clock, with Judge A. s..

Probably the most important case
which will come up for hearing at this
term is that Of the state of Iowa vs..

This is the famous dynamite case.

red Waterloo to the highest pitch Of
excitement. On the Goth Of last Octo-
Der AM express package was received
here addressed to Jerome w. Hoot. II

Mrs Hoot unwrapped the package and
saw what appeared to be an ingeniously
l,constructed cabinet. She attempted to
pull out what appeared to be drawer
when there came a swapping sound like
| the explosion of cap, and a cloud Of
smoke pulled out into the room. The
woman was thoroughly frightened and
hurried to the police informing them
that she had received an Internal ma-
chine. The box was on Oct. 80 exploded
by the police on the river bank near the
Great Western railroad bridge. The ex-
plosion was terrific and ratified windows
and shook buildings several blocks
away. The deafening defamation was
heard five miles distant.
Mrs. Hoot at once declared her belief
that her husband had sought this means
to get rid OF her and secure her proper
ty. A warrant was sworn out for his
arrest and after several months OF con-
slant search he was found at New Or
leans and brought back to Waterloo by
Sheriff Law. He protested his innocence,
but the grand jury last March found an
Indictment against him and he was
bound over for trial. In the May term
