RIVALS AT TRIAL
Two Wives of John Robbins
Appear in Circuit
Court.
NOT ALLOWED TO TESTIFY
Defendant Says He Had Heard
No. 1. Had Divorced
Him.

Two women, with marriage certiti-
Gates showing them to be the legal
wives or John Z. Robbins, faced the
latter in the circuit court this morn
ing during his hearing on a charge of
bigamy. Neither of the women was
allowed to testify, however.
John E. Robbins was married in
Rock Island Aug. rs, 1901, to Rosa
Wiedekehr, Judge Adams performing
the ceremony at the Office of the
county clerk. Five months after, it
is alleged, Robbins deserted, his wife
going to Dubuque with her mother
for residence, and Robbins locating in
Moline, where he obtained employ
ment. There he was known as Edgar
Robbins, and April Is, 1908, was mar
ried to Miss Karen BornhOlt, a young
woman employed as servant in the
home of the late Rev. II. c. Bryant,
without having first secured a divorce
from his first wife. Mrs. Robbins No.
1 learned of the second wedding and
preferred charges against Robbins
that resulted in his indictment by the
grand jury for bigamy.
After Robbins separated from his
first wife he instituted suit for di-
vorce in the circuit court on the
grounds of infidelity, Peter Ingelsen,
of Moline, acting as his attorney. But
the case has never been heard.
Robbins defense is that, soon after
the filing of his bill, he learned
through a brother of his first wife
that the latter had obtained divorce
from him, and he accordingly cOnsiG-
cred himself free to marry again.

to have been made by Boehme after
the burglary should not have been
admitted. Arguments on the motion

TO HAVE ASPHALT
Fifth Avenue and Nineteenth
Street Owners to Pave by
Private Contract.
IMPROVEMENTS NEXT YEAR
Mayor DIcConochie Discusses Twen-
ty-First Street
Job.

In all likelihood Fifth avenue, Eigh-
teenth to Nineteenth streets, and
Nineteenth street, Seventh to Ninth
avenues, will be improved with as
phalt paving the coming summer by
private contract, owners of property
on those thoroughfares having deter
mined to follow this course to avoid
the embarrassments of the brick
trust, which has thus far been sue
cessful in defeating improvements of
this character on other streets in this
city
Letting the work by private con-
tract will also save to the owners of
the property the expense of levying
the assessments and cost of court
proceedings. The names of all own
ers of frontage but one are under
stood to have been attached to an
agreement. and owners on Nineteenth
will be signed up shortly also.
Mavor McConOchie stated today
that the city council would not have
any objection to proceeding of this
nature, but that the Improvement
would have to be done under the SUI
pervision of the council, as are all
DhDllN pl
To Amend Ordinance.
at is the intention of the board of
local improvements to give the people
on Twenty-first street between Tenth
and Twelfth avenues asphalt paving,
as they have petitioned for said
Mayor McConochie today. "but before
proceeding the board proposes to re-
move all possibility of legal interfer-
ence. as there is one owner of prop
erty on the street who is determined
to defeat the improvement if it is i'll
his power to do so. You know the es-
innate of the city engineer was $2.17
per foot. with two-inch asphaltum
surface and Il five-inch concrete fOun-
dation. The bid of the Barber com
pany, which submitted the only prop
oSition received by the board, was
$2.2S on the specifications. AS this
would take more funds than would
be derived from the assessment, the
company made another bid. offering
to do the job for Sail per foot, if a
one and a half inch top would be ac-
ceptable As you know, the board
voted to accept this, but after further
discussion it was realized that the
Improvement could be blocked on a
legal technicality, as the ordinance
specified a two-inch top. and that is
what the assessment confirmed in the
county court called for also. So to
avoid legal difficulties the board pro-
poses to follow out the provisions of
the ordinance, which will be amended
to show an increase in the assessment
of about 30 cents per foot"
The mayor has communication
from the Barber company asking for
the return of its check and adding
that hereafter it will bid only on spec
ifications as set forth in ordinances
adopted by the city council.

Third Offering.
The Muscatine North q South road
failed to be sold again yesterday.
This is the line that has been offered
at auction three times. in vain. 1t
has been the talk that a syndicate,
headed by the Washes of Davenport,
was going to buy it and make it a
link in a system of interurbans of
ambitious proportions. Mr.. Walsh
was on the ground when the road was
first put up, in August. The next
time, Il few weeks ago, he was not
there. Yesterday nobody was there.
though the sale had been we'll adver-
tised. Neither were any bids received
by mail. There was absolutely not an
offer at the attempted auction, which
was to have been held. The bond
holders have the road and it seems
will have to keep it, though there is
an impression that there is "nigger
in the fence" somewhere.
The sale has again been postponed,
and this time indefinitely. There is
talk in Muscatine that reorganiza-
ton of the old company is on foot
and that it is proposed to make an
extension to Burlington. when it is
believed that it can be run on a pay

USES OF SALT.

Do you know that common salt,
dampened, will remove the discolor-
alton on cups and saucers which is
the result of tea and coffee and care
less washing? That it will take the
egg stain from silver? That it will
restore in great measure colors faded
in washing or keep them from fading
if used in the rinsing water? That
nothing cleans China mating or will
low furniture so as salt and water
scrubbing with scrubbing brush ?
That it is an excellent dentifrice ?
That if the chimney gets on fire salt
put upon the fire will deaden the
flame? And how many even old
cooks know that when the blaze from
dripping fat on the Goals is charring
the steak they are broiling the trouble
can be stopped by throwing little
salt on the fire?,

RENOVATING MEMS
CLOTHES.

Mems clothes are benefited as much
by careful attention as woman's and
show the effect of neglect very quick
ly. To prevent the coats from wrink-
ling, get a few hangers such as dry
goods dealers use to hang them on,
and you will find them much better
than hooks or nails This is an
economy in closet room also, for they
can be placed very close together.
The cloth of which mems suits are
made get dusty easily, and needs
frequent brushing. Provide yourself
with small cane or whip, and beat
them thoroughly, and after this is
done, lay the garments out smoothly
upon table and brush them. You
will need hard bristle brush for over
coats and garments that are spotted
with mud, but soft brush is better
for ordinary use. Be careful not to
hit the buttons, for that wears the
edges and loosens them. The gar.
ments should be perfectly dry before
you begin; brush the collar first, then
keep brushing toward the bottom.
A good cleansing fluid for coat COL
lars and spots on clothing is almost
indispensable Obtain soap bark from
a druggist, put handful in a vessel
and pour over it in pint of boiling
water. Let it stand two hours, then
strain and add a tablespoonful of
powdered borax, which dissolves quick
ly, and it is ready for use. Sponge
the soiled places with this until clean;
then with clear water. Cover with a
cloth that will leave no lint and press
dry. When you have finished, you
will find that the spots have entirely
disappeared. A little borax dissolved
in a strong suds made of good soap
and warm water will cleanse wooden
goods nicely.
If the elbows of the sleeves and the
knees of the pants are stretched out
of shape, lay damp cloth on them
and fold them up an hour or two, then
lay them on the ironing board, smooth
with the palm of the hand and pull
gently in every direction until they
lie fa.. Cover with cloth and press
with hot iron until dry. Sponging
and pressing the back of cloth coats
will remove the shiny appearance
they often acquire after wearing
awhile. If black cloth becomes rusty,
dilute Ink with an equal quantity of
water, and sponge the garment with
it When the shoulders of the coats
are quite gray, use ink without dilut-
ing it, rub it in we'll and press dry.

John Doyle--M Matchmaker.

When Louise Doyle entered the
office of Delaney & Griffin, architects,
in the humble capacity of copyist, the
soul of her father rose in angry rebel
lion.
Two years previous John Doyle had
retired from the grocery business with
a tidy income, substantial brick resi-
lence and chronic rheumatism. When
ever the malady loosened its grip,
Doyle wandered back to the scenes of
his commercial achievements. His
successor always gave him cordial vel
come, and comfortable chair back Of
the cashiers booth was at his disposal.
When too lame to walk as far as the
store, he consol.d himself by playing
innumerable games of pinochle, in the
rear of Simpsons cigar store, just
across the street.
1t was from disastrous defeat at
pinochle that he came home to hear
that Louise was "going to business. "
The moment was inauspicious.

ishness My girl going to chase down.

my credit next. And she won't make
enough to pay for the new feathers and
fixing she'll want, to say nothing OF
the shoe leather she'll wear out traip-
sing back and forth in all kinds of
weather!'
Mrs. Doyle, who in spite of the fact
that she never joined Mothers club
nor studied household economics, had
succeeded in making John Doyle CON-
Portable and content, calmly set a
gusset in her husbands new shirt as
she replied:
IL don't know about that, John, I
think that if more girls knew how hard
it is to earn money, and to make sue
cess in business, we'd have fewer shift
less AMI grumbling wives"
Mr.. Doyle groaned at his wife's de-
serton to tue enemy.
"And as for her wasting her money,
| don't believe Louise'll do any thing
of the sort. She's got too much Of her
fathers blood in her. Besides, she's
going to pay her board-says it's only
right, seeing that she won't be home
to help NE with the work"
Mr.. Doyle fairly gasped in his fury.
"Pay her board! Minerva Doyle.
have you gone daft? Or are you turn
ing miscr, like your Uncle Sam? My
daughter shan't pay her board, So long
as l am here to prevent it,
But Louise had her way. Every
Saturday night she paid Der board,
and every Monday morning Mr.. Doyle
carried the money straight to the saw
ings bank and deposited it to the
credit Of Louise Doyle.
Three years rolled round and Louise
failed to fulfill any of the dire predic-
tions set forth by her parent. She did
not take pneumonia from facing keen
northwesters. She did not catch small
pox from riding in ill-ventilated cars.
And she refused to elope with the
junior partner. But she had risen

THE CHRISTMAS DINNER.

In spite of the fact that the word
dyspepsia means literally bad cook, it
will not be fair for many to lay the
blame onthe cook if theybegin theXmas
Dinner with little appetite and end it
with distress or nausea. 1t may not be
fair for any to do that--let us hope so
for the sake of the cook! The disease
dyspepsia indicates bad stomach,
rather than bad cook, and for a weak
stomach there is nothing else equal to
Hoods Sarsaparlla. 1t gives the
stomach vigor and tone, cures dyspep-
sia, creates appetite, and makes eating
the pleasure it should be.
