Spring retail trade is backward because

liveries are stlll coming from the mills ana

Arrangements have been made for a record
year. many new vessels charging the

producing as rapidly as possible and new
plants are In course OF construction but
deliveries are tardy and most concerns have
sold their entire output for this year. Large
orders for cotton ties were placed at an

The assessment in Council Bluffs, accord

council, sitting as a Board Of Equalization,
will be $4,000 in excess of that for the

Mr. Hardin states, despite the fact that
the moneys and credits listed by certain
moneyed men of the city this year show
a falling of Of $4,000 when compared
with the Items listed by the same persons

moneys and credits, is something Mr..
Hardin says puzzles him. AS was the
case year ago. several Of the largest

cldes in his favor and he is released from
the penitentiary, where he is serving a
life term for the murder Of his wife at
Eldora, Ia Blydenburg was first tried
about four years ago. The case at the time
attracted state wide attention. He had
but recently been married and his young
wife one Sunday became sick. Blydenburg
prepared the meal and soon afterward she
died. He was accused of poisoning her.
There was no suspicion attached to him
till her relatives had the body disnterred
and examined. The body had been taken
to her old home in Ohio.
When the supreme court passed upon the
case at the first appeal Judge Weaver and
Judge Deemer dissented from the opinion
Of the majority Of the court. They claimed

Council Bluffs had a genuine mad dog
scare yesterday and for a while the police
department was kept busy chasing a dog
supposed to be suffering from rabies.
Whether the dog, which was after a long
chase, killed by two boys, was really suf-
fering from rabies or not, will be deter
mined by Dr. Miller the veterinary surgeon
and city food inspector.
Word first reached police headquarters
that a red water spaniel, believed to be
suffering from rabies, had bitten a dog
belonging to the proprietor of the saloon
at Broadway and Thirty-seventh street.
It was suggested to the police that the dog
would probably make for the motor bridge
and the police OF Omaha were notified TO
be on tho lookout for the animal. The
dog however, changed it's course when It
neared the bridge and turned east on
Avenue 3. During its career 1t is said to
have bitten eight dogs, one horse and
snapped at two boys, tearing the clothing
OF one. Finally the dog ran under a
porch of the house at zoos Avenue B, where
It was shot by a young fellow named Will
son.
The police learned that four Of the dogs
bitten by the supposed rabld canine had
been killed by their owners. The owner of
the spaniel could not be ascertained.

Induced to come to Council Bluffs to
talk the matter over with the brother
of the young woman he Is alleged to have
wronged, Earl w Hinstedt was arrested
yesterday afternoon at the Grand hotel
by Detective Wilson. Hinstedt is wanted
in Glenwood to answer to a charge of
bigamy and was taken there last evening
by Sheriff Linville of Mills county.
About one year ago Hinstedt was mar
ried to a Miss Moore, whose parents re-
side near Glenwood and with whom she
and her baby are at present. A short
while ago members of the Moore family
learned, 1t is alleged, that Hinstedt had
been married before and that his first wife,
from whom 1t is charged he had never
secured a divorce, was, at present living
in Council Bluffs. Wife No 2 returned
to her parents near Glenwood.
The police have been after Hinstedt for
several days, but he could not be located.
c. Moore, a young man employed in a
Broadway grocery store, is a brother of
Mrs. Hinstedt No 2 and he arranged for
a conference with Hlnstedt yesterday aft
ernoon at the Grand hotel. Hinstedt was
accompanied by an attorney from South
Omaha, and he had been in the Grand
hotel but a few minutes when Detective
Wilson placed him under arrest Hinstedt
and wife No. up to a short time ago lived
on Farnam street, Omaha.
