Mrs, Hoffman, one of the patients of the recent smallpox epidemic, has been on the anxious seat for several days past on ac- count of the absence of her 16-year-old daughter Cora. The girl came back from Kan: last week and left her trunk in Omaha. She got a hack and went back to Omaha to get the trunk, accompanied by Mattie Cole, another girl of her own age. That was Friday morning, and nothing has been seen of her since. In the meantime two hack drivers, Willard James and Burt Luke, had also disappeared, and an investi- gation brought to light the fact that the two men and the two girls had left to- gether. Yesterday afternoon a telegram was re- celved from the authorities of Missouri Val- ley stating that Miss Hoffman was in their charge and would be held for further orders. As nearly as can be learned now, the quar- tet went to Missouri Valley, where the two girls_were deserted by their male escorts. The Hoffman girl ran out of money and ap- plied to the town officials for assistance. Mrs. Hoffman made arrangements for an officer to go the Valley last evening to get her daughter. She filed two informations charging each of the men with abduction, and also filed an information charging her daughter with incorrigibility. Constable Jackson was given the warrants to serve. It is not thought by the authoritics that the two men are in Missourl Valley, but if they are they will undoubtedly be brought back to pay the price of their crookedness.

Parls green, 25, Davis, the druggist NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS | Rev, Btephen Phelfs on True Patriotism at the First Presbyterian, GREATER VICTORIES IN PEACE THAN WAR Churches Are No Longer Sowing Dragons’ Teeth to Spring Up Around Men, but Are Sowing Sceds of Kinda chury assembled yester- to At Presbyterian audience First day ng a large heur Rev. Stephen Phelps, text, “They shall beat their plowshares and their spears hooks.” This is no fanciful sketch but the time is really coming when the world shall no longer with war. He cited a large number of | bearing upon the subject, and looked forward with an unwavering eye to the time of their abso- | lute fulfiliment. The time of wars of exter- mination has passed, and there are now laws the mor D.D., preach from into words into pru he thought be cursed opheeies of war which are recognized on every battle fleld. The conquered are not ruthlessly de- stroyed, property is not demolished, flags of the wounded are taken to ors of truce are honored hospitals, and in many ways the b ameliorated. And as man a higher plane there will be further improve- ment, unt{l war shall finally be done away with entirely tions used to rush into war on the slightest provocation, while now they h settle their differences by arbitration. The establishment and the preaching things which will state of affairs “The churches are no longer sowing dragon’s teeth to spring up armed men, but ses to war are of the Christian church of the gospel are two bring about this happy they are sowing seeds of kindness, said he. *““The time will come when Christ's rule of overcoming evil with good will be the universal law. God himself will be the arbi- trator of disputes, and will decide in con- formance to Christ's teachings. The nations shall not learn war any more. When the veterans got together last week they spoke eloquently of the scenes of the rebellion They threw a halo over Pittsburg Landing and’ Gettysburg, and we who heard and had our irits roused by the scenes they so graphically portrayed were learning war. I believe in reunions, in honoring the old soldiers, but they ought to be careful how they throw the light of glory over these murderous scenes. Rather let them be cov- ered with the smoke of the bottomless pit. Let them teach us to hate war rather than to admire it. “To keep the 3,000,000 men who now form the standing armies of the world must cost $6,000,000 a day. The firing of one of the blg guns that has passed through Council Bluffs on its way west costs from $400 to $600, as much as a home missionary’s salary for a year. A million dollars spent in forti- fying a city would build any university in the_world. “Washington was a great man, but the greatest act of his life was not performed on the battlefleld; it was when he refused the crown that would have made him king of the country he had struggled to free. Lincoln was a great man, but it was not the war of the rebellion that made him so. His crowning act was when he signed the paper that gave 4,000,000 slaves their liberty. And Grant's greatest act of his whole life was when he stood magnaimously before Lee and accepted his sword, the act that told that the war was over. And when the boys in blue stood marshaled in line and saw Lee's men stack their arms at Grant's feet, with tears In their eyes, there were tears of sym- pathy in their own eyes. There was no sign of a taunt from all that great union army, and that was the truest sign of greatness that was witnessed in all that long and bloody conflict. In peace there are greater battles to be fought and won than were ever fought and won amid war and smoke and fire. Let us have patriotism, but better than that, let us have that higher courage that will lead us to vote right, live right, do our duty as citizens, love Christ more, love the church more and love humanity more.” HE WON HIS BRIDE. How an Irish Indian Wooed and Wedded a Farmer's Daughter. There was a little scene at Dr. Pardy's Indian show, a medical aggregation that has pitched its tents on a vacant lot on Broad- way between Seventh and Eighth streets, Saturday evening that was not down on the program. For a time there was some pros- pect of one of the fakirs losing his scalp- lock. The individual was the Irish come- dian, John Daugherty, and the war club was weilded by a lusty farmer and his still more lusty wife, living somewhere near Ports- mouth, They came to town to rescue their daughter, who had been captured by the Celtic comedian, and who was being held not an unwilling captive in the lodge of the warrior. Previous to coming to Council Bluffs the aggregation filled an engagement in the little town in the adjoining county, and one of the many victims that fell under the spell of the noble red man that was born in Ireland was a bright-eyed paleface malden, the daughter of the farmer alluded to. She lost no opportunity to attend the free show and test the medicine. It was good medicine, and it worked so effectually upon the young girl that she lost her head as well as her heart. After the company left and came here the red-headed Indian got leave of absence and followed the trail back to Portsmouth, went to the farmer's house and captured and carried away the paleface maiden in true redskin style. They got back Saturday afternoon and were at once married. The old farmer and his wife arrived on the next train and went at once to the show grounds. The elements as well as the old people were ripe for a storm, and while the rain was coming down in sheets they were chasing the red-headed redskin from tepee to tepee with business-looking war clubs. In the chase they discovered their daughter, but she was not fnclined to be rescued, and stubbornly resisted all en- treaties and commands to return home. Dr. Pardy, the head of the aggregation, was appealed to, but declared that he was una- ble to control his Indians in affairs of the heart, and made it a business not to inter- fere ' professionally with the practice of Cupld. As a pesce offering he gave each of the old people a bottle of his medicine, with the assurznce that a second dose would either kill them or cure their aversion to their new son-in-law. The other Indians held them and the medicine was admini tered. An hour later the farmer and his wife had sought a hotel for the night, and yesterday morning they returned home, leaving a fob lot of blessings for the young people. It Is said they left for the purpose of taking legal steps to secure control of their daughter.

Men at Manawa Believe Some Unknown Per on Was Drowned Last Night. It seems probable that a man was drowned in Manawa lake last night about 11 o'clock. Mr. William Maloney and some other men were standing by the water at Manhattan beach when they heard a man crying, “Help, belp, I'm drowning.” The voice secmed to come from a point about 300 yards north- west of where the men were standing. Two men got into a boat and started out, but on account of a misunderstanding went in the wrong direetion. Mr. Odell, manager of the beach, then took a boat, in company with others, and rowed in the direction from which' the voice came, but found nothing and heard nothing more. Coming across the lake to the north side he sent men out to see if they could find an upturned boat or any other evidence of an accident, but tley did not. Some think the cry was made by some one In a boat, but Mr. Maloney says the voice was undoubtedly that of a man in distress. Further investigation will be made today. Lake Manawa Railway Time Card.

The saloon closing order of the mayor of a week ago was countermanded yesterday morning by Deputy Marshal Fowler and as a result several saloons in the city were al- lowed to run before the police found out about it. Officer Peterson was called to an account by some saloon keepers who did not happen to be Scandinavians for his alleged partiality in allowing some men of his own nationality to keep their places open. That was the first he knew of it. He proceeded to investigate, and found that Fowler had been around and told the saloon keepers that it would be all right if they ran their places quietly and did not allow any thirsty people to come in at the front door. Chief Scanlan succeeded In getting all the saloons closed up again by noon. All Kinds of Millinery at Cost. Miss Sprink, the leading milliner, is now selling all kinds of miilinery at cost.

HELENA, Mont., June 24.—(Special to The Bee)—The populist state convention, which meets at Deer Lodge tomorrow, will only have two offices to make nominations for, representative in congress and assoclate justice of the supreme court. The great Question before the convention will be that of fusion. The minority party in the state wants to fuse with the democrats, the plan being to nominate a democrat for congress and a popullst for associate justice, demo- crats to then nominate the same .men at their convention. The majority of the dele- gates are believed to favor straight populist nominations. The convention may express its cholee for candidates for United States senator, but this is not probable.

Shortly after midnight the archbishop of Lyons was summoned to the bedside of the dying president to administer to him the last rites of the church. He was in the room but a short time when he retired to an adjoining room. He rematned until half past 12 o'clock, when he moned to the president's administered the sacrament. M. Carnot re- malned fous to the last. He realized that his life was rapidly ebbing away and twice he sald: ‘“Je m'en vais." Dr. leaned over the bed and said to him friends are here, Monsieur le M. Carnot replied: *I their presence,” and a gasped for breath, there shuddering of his boc France was again sum- room, where he cons Poncet our President.” grateful for later he convulsive v and the president of had pasesd away. The bed on which M. Carnot died was of fron. It was placed between two windows of the palace. At its foot was the bed of honor, which had been reserved for the pres- ident. The Incision made by doctors in order to stop the internal hemorrhage measured about three inches long by two inches wide. It was thought the entire population of the city was on the streets when the attack was made, but this later proved erroneous, for, as the night advanced, the crowds were constantly augmenting. After the attacks upon the Italian cafes tne disorderly ele- ment among the crowds devoted their atten- tion to the Itallans they found on the streets. Several of them were pursued and barely escaped alive. The police had great difficulty in rescuing the hunted men. The Rue de la Barre is now barricaded at both ends and guarded by troops. Sketch of the Dead Man. Carnot, Marie Frahcois Sadi, president of the Frerich republic, was born At Limoge August 1837. He is'a grandson of Carnot ‘the organizer of ~victory,” under the French convention, and is a civil engines profession. At the age of 20 he entered a student the Ecale’ Polytechnique, and ed with distinetion to a school special insteuction in the _build- of roads ands bridges. During siege of Parls in 1871, he was appointed prefect of the Seine Inferieur and as commissary general gave valuable am minute was a the istance in organizing the defences of that department. " In " February, 1871, he took his seat in the' National Assembly as deputy for Cote d'Or, and subsequently e - and subs y for Beaune. 1In 1586 he took office in the Brisson cabinet as finance minfster. On the resig fation of M. Grevy,'in December, 1857, At ot was’ elected, preside: - et 4 president of the' re. AT FARIS BITTER. ions of Ind'guation on Al —Some Threatd of Trouble, PARIS, June 24.—The first news of the attempt upon the life of President Carnot was received in this city with many e: pressions of doubt, but later when dispatches began to pour in describing In detail the act of the assassin, doubt could no longer prevail. Then came the short dispatch an- nouncing that M. Carnot was dead. To describe the varied emotions of the Parisians was Impossible. Any of the offi- cials seen by the reporter of the Associated press were too much overcome by the sud- denness of the disaster to express any opinion as to the results that would follow the act of the assassin. Others, while ex- pressing the deepest regret at the death of the president, were very chary of glying any publicity to their political opinions. But among the great class outside of the officials nothing but deep indignation and sorrow at the cowardly blow that had d prived France of her executive was heard. In the cafes men congregated and speculation was rife as to the motive that prompted the crime. Many persons jumped to the con- clusion that the assassinatiof was the re- sult of an anarchist plot. A‘! a matter of fact nothing whatever is positively known as yet as to the cause which led to the outrage. Many persons believe the crime was the work of an fir- responsible crank, whose enmity against France and her president was kindled by the Aigues-Mortes riots, when many Italians were killed, and who determined to wreak | vengeance upon the president for the wrongs | done his countrymen. Whatever the motive the act has plunged the whole of France into deepest mourning. Expre: Sides Aside from his political enemies, Presi- dent Carnot was universally beloved. His pure, upright life endeared him to jthe | geatn, masses of the people. His honesty of pur- pose and devotion to the Interests of France were unquestioned. It is belleved his funeral, which will be an imposing state function, will be the occasion of one of the greatest demonstrations of popular love and respect that France has seen in many years. On every side the drenest sympathy is expressed for Mune. Carnot, who did so much socially to make her husband’s administra- tion popular. Mme. Carnot was at the palace of the Elyssee when the news of the assassination was conveyed to her by an official of the president’s household. ~ She at first refused to believe it, asking why one could desire to kill her husband. When the truth of the dispatch was im- pressed upon her she became almost pros- trated with grief. She demanded to be at once taken to Lyons, And arrangements were at once perfected with the railway company, and in a short time, In company with two of her dayghters, who were weep- ing bitterly, she was speeding to Lyons in the hope that they iwould still see her hus- band alive and well Sl HOW THE VADANCY IS FILLED, Chambers Must Meot,Within Three Days to Seloct p Suge essor. LONDON, June 25—~A dispatch to the Times from Paris says:; The French consti- tution requires that jn the event of the pres- \dency becoming vacapt by death or other- wise the chambers must meet within three days of the time the, yacancy oceurs. In the meantime the ministry, directs the public business. The dispatch addd that Santo came from the Cafe Casatl, one’of the places which was sacked by the mob. 'Santo was born at Monte Vesconti, provinee of Milan. A special to the Daily! News says: When President Carnot reached Dijon, enroute for ’,yuni, he found awaiting him on the plat- form of the railway station his son-in-law and his wife, with his 4-year-old grand- daughter. M. Carnot took his granddaughter into his carriage and embraced her, saying how much more pleasant it would be if he could stay In Dijon with her instead of going to Lyons. His eyes filled with tears as he gave her a parting kiss and handed her to her father. All the London newspapers contain articles dwelling upon the horrible character of the assassination. A majority of them refer to the assassination of Presidents Lincoln and G 0 y parallel, SPR AR BR BV Bt as been sumomned to meet at 10 o'clock this morning to consider the situation and to take appropriate action in regard to the death of the president.

PARIS, June 25.—Mme. Carnot, accom- panfed by her two daughters, left at 1 o'clock this morning (25th) for Lyons. The news of ahe assassination of her husband was broken to her as tenderly as possible. She was al most prostrated with grief, but gave orders for preparations to be at once made to con- vey her to Lyons. R NEWS AT WASHINGTO Prononnced Sensation Cansed in Al Cireles, ularly Among Diplomats. WASHINGTON, June 24.—Although the public places were deserted on this hot Sun- day evening, news of the assassination of President Carnot became known over the country with remarkable rapidity. The most pronounced sensation was created every- where, but particularly in official circles was the tragedy most keenly felt and most intel- ligently discussed. President Cleveland, the vice president, Secretary Gresham, the French minister and other officials were given the news by the Associated press reporters and learned it from them, for no official dispatches were recelved. Without exception, they were deeply affected and expressed their regret in strong_terms. Most To French Ambassador Patenotre the an- nouncement was a great and most unex- pected shock. Until a late hour the French embassy was the center of interest, many diplomats and other officlals of this govern- what details ment driving there to learn they might and extend their expressions regret. Next door to the embassy at the Metropolitan club, where diplomats are ac customed to congregate, there was excite- ment and warm discussions in various lan- guages of the probable effect of Carnot's death upen the complications of European politics, which are widespread and intricate. Up to a late hour no official cablegrams had been received, even at the French embass and In default of such information, the pre: ident and secretary of state did not feel ju tified in sending expressions of regret. Probably a majority of both houses of con- gress had been driven from the city by the heat, but among those who remained there was much speculation as to whether the as- sination was of a political nature or was deed of an irresponsible crank. The rd the latter be- lief. Foreign representatives and officials acquainted with French politicss say Carnot was essentlally a_safe man; one whom the French people relied upon, while they did not gush over him or accord him the dramatic following given leaders like Bou- langer. Carnot was considered an aesthetic a hard working man and had what he termed a solid popularity, Cabinets have changed often in France of late, but there has been no talk of deposing Carnot. Much curiosity is expressed to know whether the feeling be- tween France and Italy, which has lately been formed by the labor troubles, furnished the motive for the assassniation. Senator Morgan, chairman of the forelgn relations committee, said: ‘“This is a blow at the peace and justice and civilization of the world. France in her long and eventful history has had for leaders more brilliant men than Carnot; greater men probably as the world goes, but the French people have never had a president of borader, statesmen- like views on all great questions or one who made greater sacrifices for her prosperity than he. And in return for his devotion the French people believed in him. Howas pop- ular with all right thinking men and women throughout the nation and one whom no slander had ever injured in their estimation.” The senator spoke féelingly of his death and said it filled him with profound sorrow and indignation that so great and good a man as Carnot should be stricken down by the hand of an assassin. Representative Hitt of Illinois, who was charge d'affaires at Paris during the event- ful years from 1874 to 1881, and in the last congress was chairman of the foreign af- fairs committee of the house, spoke of the dead president as a man of pure life and un- sullied character and reputation. No man in France, in his opinion, was held in higher csteem or more thoroughly deserved the confidence and love of the people than he. When Mr. Hitt first became acquainted with him he was a member of the assembly, and was regarded as entirely safe and conserva- tive on all important questions. He stead- fastly grew in the estimation of the people who recognize in them the qualities France needed in a leader. Senator Sherman, ex-chairman of the com- mittee on foreign relations, was visibly af- fected on hearing the news of Carnot's and exclaimed: “This is a crime against civilization. I regard Carnot as one of the strongest men France has had in many years, He could always do the sensi- ble thing on every occasion. He was thor- oughly republican in his ideas and had the greatest respect and admiration for Amer- fca and Americans.” Senator Sherman met him in Paris four years ago and recalled the reception given on the Fourth of July in commemoration of Independence day. On this occasion, Presi- dent Carnot spoke of America as the model republic of the world and bespoke for her a glorious future. Senator Sherman was greatly the trend of opinion was tow impressed | with the earnest and unostentatious manner of the French president, and said he consid- ered him one of the greatest, if not one of the most brilliant, men France had ever known. AMERICAN EDITORIAL Victim of the Assassin's Digger the Re- public’s Best Friend. SAN FRANCISCO, June 24.—The Call says editorially: One of those inexplicable pur- poses which sometimes finds a lodgment in the hearts of men prompted the taking of the life of one of the truest patriots who have given their lives to their country in the present century. There is nothing in the circumstances of Carnot's death to In- spire distrust of the existing form of gov- ernment. On the contrary, the blood of the martyr will nourish the republic. It all were not republicans when the assassin stole upon his vistim, all are now. The Chronicle: The brutal assassination of President Carnot of France can only be attributed to the malignity of some crank, who had personal or national motives which {mpelled him to commit the crime. At this writing all that we know of the assassin is that he is an Italian. The political effect of his crime will be less should it turn out that he is an anarchist than if it is proved that his murderous blow was prompted by more intense race feeling, which not many months ago found expression in the Aigues- Mortes riots. To Frenchmen of whatever party, the death of Carnot will come as a shock. He was the ideal president of the French_republic, The Examiner: In the assassination of the president of the French republic modern anarchy has achieved its highest atrocity. the murder of Czar Alexander I was a revolutionary outbreak peculiar to Russia, but the attack on Carnot is a menace to every ruler in the world, It is the most ominous thing that governments have ever had to confront. The man who stabbed Carnot has his mates in every capital of Europe and Amerfea. His success will nerve the anarchists, and throughout the world, from Grover Cleveland to Alexander IIL, there is no head of a state whose life is not endangered by tonight's work. KANSAS CITY, June 24.—The Journal will say: The assassination of President Carnot brings the world face to face with a universal problem of the time. Shall the regulation of soclety by systematized gov- erument prevall, or shall the disaffection of =S0YS AND GIRLS ER' | UAKER OATS the turbulent-minded be allowed to build an era of terrorism upon the slim foundation of individual discontent. The spirit which nerved the arm of Carnot's assassin s har bored In one form or another in every land in having a civilized government. It lurks every nation under the guise of persol liberty. It Is encouraged by the cowardice of place seekers, It fs the co-partner of demagogues,' and 18 the Incentive of every crime against law and order. The Times: The assassination of Presi dent Carnot was one of those Inexplicable atrocities that surpass understanding. man of liberal ideas, humane impulses and generous practices, his life has not been of & nature to inecl enmities or provoke re- sentments, Of all the public men in con- tinental Burope, he was the last who would have been thought of as a victim of the assassin's mali But his death at the hands of the miscreant who struck the fatal blow {8 another proof that anarchism is as ng as it is unjust and cruel SR, June 24.—The Republican assassination of Sadi Carnot, president France, was entirely without exc one of the most unprovoked, cause- ‘and brutal murders n history. Nothing to be gained for the cause of liberty by the murder of a man who always had shown himself to be a friend of the people and a devoted supporter of republican institutions It would indicate that the spirit of anarchy is rife in France and that the men who are prompted by it are haters of all law and the enemies of what may be called order. The Rocky Mountain News: The crime 1s one which words are scarcely adequate to condemn. It was not only a blow at Carnot but at France and at good government every- The of and where in the world. It is only another dem onstration of the fact that anarchy means destruction and that in at least, anarchists are murderers s never justifiable and personal violence is alw be depreciated, but if there ever was a o in which it could be excused it was when the French people saw their president stricken down by an assassin’s knife. AT THE WHITE HOUSE. Cleveland Recelves the Shoeking Info tien from Secretary Thurber, WASHINGTON, June 24.—The news was carried to the president by Secretary Thur ber. All during the evening the news, as it arrived, telling the details of the affair, was sought with interest at the white house The announcement which came shortl afterward that M. Carnot was dead was im- mediately told the president, who had hoped up to that time that the account of Presi- dent Carnot’s injuries was exaggerated, and that he would live. As soon as official information is received from our representatives in France, the president will at send a message to the French government expressing the sym- pathy and sorrow of the United States at an- once the sad calamity which has befallen the sister republic. The French ambassador had not, up to a late hour, received any information from his government concerning the assassination. He was informed of the assassination early in the evening by an Associated press re- porter and was rendered almost speechless as he realized the extent of the awful dis- aster. At first he was inclined to question the information, but as he became fully convinced that it was true, he asked eagerly for further information and expressed deep- est emotion and sorrow. He waited patiently for news from his government, but none came, and he at length retired to Clifton, his summer residence, lehving orders that any message obtalnable should be promptly be sent to him. He accounted for the fact that he did not reccive a cable- gram from his government to the excitement which he kmew prevailed in Paris and Lyons, and also to the fact that on Sunday almost all the officials go to the country for the day. He said he could not account for the assassination of the. president, who was extremely popular with the people, and who was about to complete his term of ser- vice, having positively declined re-election. — e e CARDINE (HAMMOND,) The Extract of the Heart of the Ox.
