RAID BY THIEVES ON DYE work.
Proprietor Unable to Say How Much
Was Stolen.

Proprietor Unable to Say How Much
Was stolen.
Thieves broke into the Council Bluffs
steam dye works at IA West Broadway
some time during Saturday night and stole
an overcoat and other articles Of mems
clothing. but how much Marlus Danielson
is as yet unable to say. Entrance was
effected by prying open a rear window with
a Ratchet, which the thieves left behind
them in the store. Indications are that the
thieves tried on a number of coats and
other garments before they got what fitted
them as coats vests and trousers were
scattered about the floor in confusion. A
glass case containing hats had also been
ransacked, but Mr.. Danielsen was unable
to state last evening whether any were
missing.
Mr.. Danielsen said he would be unable to
ascertain just how much had been stolen
until the owners Of the clothing left with
him to be cleaned or dyed called for their
belongings. One overcoat and a pair of
trousers taken from the store were found
rolled up in a bundle by the side of an
clubhouse at the rear Of the store, II being
supposed that the thieves intended to re-
turn for them after dark. The thieves left
he building by the back door, which they
opened from the inside and which they left
open.

Attractions for Night Crowd.

1t is contemplated in the plans of the
directors of the department that with the
grounds brilliantly lighted and all buildings
open at night the attendance at night will
be much larger than ever before. Clerks
and people from the city of Des MONIES
generally who are busy with their work
during the day time and who are largely
unable to attend the state fair at all will
swarm to the grounds at night. With tho
grounds open each day several hours more
an additional inducement will be held ont
for the very highest class of attractions and
Concessions to come to the fair.
The financial prosperity that has smiled
upon the fair the lust few years is enab-
ling the directors to make the broadcast i'm
provements in every department. There is
not a department but will be strengthened
the coming year, from machinery and
stock down to chickens and embroidery. In
fact, the two last named departments are
coming in for their share in abundance. In
the course of time the exposition building
which is a Substantial structure in its
framework, is to be entirely weather
boarded on the outside and ceiled on the
inside, so as to make it one Of the per-
manent buildings Of the fair. The floor or
the inside viii be made of concrete instead
OF sawdust, and the whole character Of
the building changed.

Stock Farm, has been missing since
April D. He quit work on the Stock
Farm Monday, where he had been
pruning an orchard, and going to the
Office he drew his wages, amounting
to some $50. He then went to his home
in the Doran addition and gathering
some personal effects started away.
Where he went no one knows, as that
was the last seen of him. Mrs. Rock
wood has been cognizant of the fact
for some time that her husband was
not possessed of his right mind, but
said nothing to any one about it, fear
ing he might be adjudged insane and
taken to the asylum. About month
ago he attempted to commit suicide at
his home, but was prevented by men,
bers of his family. No warrant has
been issued for his arrest, but the au-
thorities are keeping lookout for the
missing man.

At Work on the Big Ditch.

The Dinsmore Irrigation & Develop

with it's plans. Options on all avail
able lands under the proposed ditch
are being taken and contracts for
water are being entered into. AS soon
as this business is disposed OF the
actual work of construction will be-
gin. During the past week James ID.
Schuyler, famous civil engineer who
resides at Los Angeles and has been
connected with big irrigation enter
prises in California, Colorado and
other western states and who is now
consulting engineer in connection
with two enormous dams in Brazil;
Paul S. A. Bickel, who built the big
ditch at Twin Falls, Idaho, which re-
claimed 24O, 900 acres and J. B. Per-
rine of Blue Lakes, Idaho, and the
largest orchardist in that state, all
recognized authorities on irrigation,
have been in Hamilton and looked
over the line of the proposed ditch and
all have pronounced it most proinis
ing enterprise. These gentlemen were
all very enthusiastic regarding the
possibilities for development in the
Bitter Root.
