Condition of Paved streets Subject of Com
ment.

ment.
While the Union Electric Tclepho one
q Telegraph company should not be
criticised with undue haste for nee
essary Inconvenience caused the pub
lie in the laying of its underground
system in the business district, it is
maintained with reason in various
quarters that the repairing OF the
paved streets after the work is com
pleted might be progressing with
more dispatch than is now the case,
without any additional Inconvenience
to the company.
The paved streets were never in
such condition as they now are from
the opening of trenches for the lay
ing of the conduits and they are daily
becoming worse. The company in the
beginning promised that the pave
ment where disturbed would be re-
laid a second time and placed in as
good condition as before by being
rolled down with the steam roller.
with this understanding the work
has gone ahead till time has arrived
portion of the conduits has been com
pleted and the time has now arrived
when il is believed thai the company
can and should begin the relaying
process.
Some slight advantage is gained, no
doubt, by allowing the fill time to
settle. but if delay is countenanced
till gravity has time To do the work
alone the streets will be in their pres
cnt or worse condition till cold
weather.

\ young man who registers as AL
bert Elroy, of Council Bluffs, and
whose accent bespea<s for him either
southern or eastern nativity, is in
limbo in this city for a very pre-
sumptuous infraction of the law of
the land committed last night His
crime was nothing less than the theft
of horse and buggy, and he was.
caught by the police in possession of
his booty.
Last evening Diedrich Hohenboe-
ken. the contractor, left his horse
and buggy for a. few minutes hitch
ed at the corner of Twentieth street
and First avenue. Upon returning
for the outfit he was surprised to
find that it had disappeared. The po-
lice were notified and worked the
case for an hour or more without I'M
covering Il clew. Then Il telephone
message was received from Twenty
fourth street stating that a man had
unhitched 4 horse from a buggy in
the alley between Third and Fourth
avenues and was trying to sell the
harness. which he had removed from
the animal.
Was Peddling the Outfit.
Officer Bergsten FASTENED to inves-
tigate and found Elroy with the har-
ness at Auers' saloon trying to strike
a bargain. The horse he had left
tied near the rig with the evident in
tention of peddling the entire outfit
about the neighborhood piecemeal.

Head Waiter In Trouble.
Jesse Buckner. the coIored head
waiter at the Rock Island Club. was
arrested by Chief Darnell last even
ing for the theft of various articles
that had been disappearing from the
place since he was first employed
there year ago. The case seems to
be a plain one against him, as his
trunk when searched was found to
be filed with club property, such as
silverwarc and fancy glasses, and a
large collection of expensive cigars.
These articles have been missed by
+. II. WeY. the steward. from time to
time. and upon investigation the head
waiter always succeeded in showing
that some OF the other employees were
not above suspicion. Finally circum-
stances transpired which led Mr.. Wey
to strongly suspect that the head
waiter knew more than he let on and
accordingly permission was asked to
examine his trunk The waiter de
clared that his wife had the key, but
promised to get il and prove that he
was innocent When he failed to
make good search warrant was Sc
cured with the above result.
Bucbner was bound over to the
grand jury in $500 bonds this after
noon on the charge of larceny.

WHERE is BLESSING?
Market Square Popcorn Mer-
chant Drops Out of
Sight.
ANXIOUS FRIENDS LEFT BEHIND
Creditor Takes Charge of Stand and
Asks Transfer of
License.

a. 5. Blessing, proprietor of the
market square confectionery and
wholesale popcorn and peanut dis
pensary," seems to have mysteri-
ously disappeared. The last heard of
him was Saturday night when he
closed up his block" at about s
o'clock, and taking his clerk with
him, went to Davenport. -.fter pro
curing some supplies he sent the boy
home and has not been seen since.
Blessing has had some business
transactions with j. j. Powelson. who
runs the stand on the corner of
Brady and Second street, Davenport.
POwelson built the ''block" in this
city for Blessing and completely
equipped and stocked it for him.
When he heard that Blessing had dis
appeared he came to this side of the
river and took possession of the stand
at once. alleging Indebtedness of
about $500.
Wants License Transferred.
Application has been made by Mr..
Powelson for transfer of Blessings
license, and if Mayor Knox will CON
sent To it the stand Will be operated
in the same place as in the past.
City Clerk Schaffer has refused to
take the responsibility of transfer
ring the license, feeling that this is a
good time TO rid the square of the in
stitution against which there has
been so much complaint.
Blessing was undoubtedly one of
the most unique characters, to put it
mildly, that ever struck this side of
the river. Since getting permission
to put up stand on the square he
has been in one continuous. round of
what might be mildly termed-eNperi-
cnceS.
