A note scribbled in pencil attached to a bundle of ciothing found yesterday morning near the river bank clcse to the Union Pacific bridge causes suspicion that a Mrs. Thomas, who came to this ity a few days ago from Moorhead, Ia, in search of her husband, bad taken ber life and that of her 3-year-old daughter by throwing herself into the Mis- sourl. The bundle of clothing was found by 8. W. Holmes of 35 Founteenth avenue, on the bank of the river near the Union Pacific dump at the east end of the bridge and was immediately turned over by him to the police. Attached to the bundle was an old black pocket book in which was the note written in pencil, a slip of paper that bore the name of Mrs. Sarah Coffer or Coffey, Canton, Mo., and an envelope a¢ dressed to Mrs. Kate Thomas und bearing the postmark of Pisgab, la., and dated June 1900. The penciled note read as follows 1 am tired of living. 1 am left destitute and homeless and whisky was the cause 1 have neither home, friends ner money and am rot able to work, wo I thought 1 migh+ an well end my misefy. 1 cannot take care my child in my condition and I woa't €, and am not able worl.

MRS, MATT THOMAS The bundle of clothing contained & coarse cotton wrapper, a woman's blue sunbonnet with a pink lining, & child's sunbonnet, small skirt and other small garments, all very much the worse for wear. Story She Told the Pelice. One day toward the latter part of last woek a woman who gave her pame as Mrs, Thomas and said she had come here ourl Valley called at the police ation and made inquiries about her husband, whom she said was a painter by trade. She was accompanied by a little girl about 3 years old. She told Officer ‘White that her husband had deserted her and ber child and that she believed he was elther in this city or South Omaha. She sald she was destitute and that the last of her moncy had been spent im buy- ing her ticket to this city. The police made inquiries and learned that a man answering the description of the woman's husband had applied for work a few days before to John Larson, & painter on Bryant street. Larson was not in peed of any more men and so told the man supposed to have beem Thomas. Mrs. Thomas appeared to be much de- pressed and discouraged and to add to her troubles was in a delicate condition. She asked the police for financial assistance and was referred by them to the super- visor of the poor. Chief Albro on reading the mote ex- pressed his opinion that the woman, driven to desperation by the desertion of hus. band and her destitute condition, had de- cided to end all her troubles in this world by drowning herself and daughter in the Missourt. COUNCIL 15 GOING AFTER HARDEN, Refusal of the Street Commissioner to Resign Starts New Row. The city council last night postponed the approving of the contract with E. A. Wick- bam for the paving of the group of streets embraced in the third resolution until Fri- day night. The solicitor had the contracts ind bonds ready, but the aldermen desired time to lock them over. The contract for the curbing of the streets so ordered improved was awarded to Nclson and Olsen, but the bond was not ap- proved, owing to a technical defect. The street commissioner muddie came up for a round, Alderman Huber asking for in- structions what to do in the matter. He enid there was work on the streets that ought to be carried out. Alderman Brown suggested that the street commissioner be instructed to do what work was necessary under the orders of the streets and alleys committee. This brought Huber to his feet with a protest. He sald: “I will call that down. 1 bave stopped glving orders to Har- den and have stopped all work. I will not give him any more orders, now, henceforth or at any other time." Alderman Boyer sald that if Harden re- fused to resign as he had been requested to do there was but one course open to the council and that would be to file fresh charges and then “fire” him, It is plal enough,” be said, “that we cannot use him. Alderman Lougee suggested that fresh charges be preferred against Harden at onco and that no delay be had in holding the trial. The underétanding is that charges will be flled before the meeting Friday night. In the meantime, despite Huber's protest, the street commissioner will act un- der the orders of the streets and alleys com- mittee L. H. Grier, local agent of the Milwaukee rallway, asked for permission to drive some piling under the Burlington's bridge at Thir- teenth avenue which his company proposes using pending the replacing of its own bridge over Indian creek with a new struc- ture in compllance with the orders of the council. Alderman Lougee insisted before the permission be granted that the resolu- tion be so drawn so as to make the railway company liable for any damages that might arise during a flood from the plling obstruct- ing the flow of the creek. He carried his point and the matter was laid over until the next meeting. Alderman McDonald succeeded in secur- ing the passage of his resolution calling upon the Waterworks company to lay a six- inch main on Sixth street between Twelfth and Thirteenth avenue and the placing of a hydrant at the corner of Thirteenth avenue. Some discussion was had as to the mel of paying the rental of the hydrant, but the resolution finally carried. The Rock Island Rallway company se- cured the passage of an ordinance vacating the portion of South Ninth street between Twelfth and Thirteenth avenues. Colonel C. G. Saunders, local attorney for the rali- Wway company, explained that the company owned the abutting property on both sides of the block sought to be vaeated. Alder- men Hammer and Huber opposed having the ordinance railroaded through at one ses- elon and objected to the city giving away its streets without some return. 7. L. roperty owner in that vicinity, ted againet the vacation of the The resolution providing for the laying ot A sewer on Sixteenth avenue between Sixth and Eighth streets and on Eighth street be- tween Fourteenth and Sixteenth avenues was introduced and September 10 set as the date for its final hearing and determination. The clerk was Instructed to advertise for for bide for supplying the several city de partments with coal, the latter to be with the city clerk by noon of September 3 The contract with C. E. H. Campbell for the bullding of the new bridge over Indlan creek at Fifth avenue was approved and the ayor authorized to sign same. The con- tract price of the bridge is $2,805, of which amount the motor company pays $500. Un- der terms of the contract the bridge is to be bullt by October 1 next. Tho bill of $45.36 tor two carloads of stone ordered for the city rock plle was ordered paid. Alderman Huber stated that the stone | would be used to repair the approaches to thoe bridge over Indian creek on North First otreet and this statement was taken to indi- cate the deathknell of the hoboes' rock pile MANAWA CONDUCTOR 1S MELD UP. Masked Highwaymen Muma of $60 and a Watch. Two highwaymen held up one of the large open motor cars eouthbound for Lake Man- awa last night shortly after 10 o'clock at tho ‘Wabash crossing and robbed the conductor, of $50 and a #0ld watch. The men were armed with re- volvers and wore masks. After securing the money from the conductor they jumped from the car and made their escape in the darkness. The entire holdup only occupled & few seconds and consequently neither the conductor nor motorman was able to give a description of the highwaymen, The Holdup occurred at the Wabash rail- way crossing at Nineteenth avenue, a dark and lonely spot. Car 79, one of the large open cars, was going south to Lake Manawa, the only occupants besides the conductor and motorman being Fred Empkie of this city and a colored woman. As the car lowed up for the crossing, two men with masks over their faces and each holding two revolvers jumped aboard. One covered the motorman, Thomas McCaffrey, while the other covered the conductor, George Muma, ordering him to hand over whatever cash he had in bis pockets. Muma handed out a lot of smail silver, but this did not seem to atisfy the bandit, who putting one revol- ver back In his pocket, used the disengaged hand to search the pockets of the con- ductor. He took his watch and all the money he could find, but overlooked a $20 £0ld plece. The bandit who kept the motor- man covered made no attempt to relieve him of his valuables, only ordering him to keep his hands off the lever and not to move the car until he got orders from them to go ahead A n a8 the highwayman who was covering Conductor Muma concluded he had gotton all there was to be got he Whistled to his companion and the two Jumped from the car, ran down the Wabash track and were soon lost to sight in the darkness. The car proceeded on its way then to the lake, from whence word was telephoned to the police. Captain Deany and Ofcer Claar at once jumped into a buggy and drove to the sceme of the holdup, while the entire night force w detailed to reh for the bandits. From the vague description that the con- ductor and motorman were able to glve of the bandits it seems that they were both of medium size and build and were roughly dressed. Rob George Commonwealth 10-cent cigar. n Insanity. F. A. Koos, a well known farmer llving four miles morth of the city on the Cres- cent road, filed an informatior before the Insanity commissioners yesterday, charging & man named Willlam with being deranged. The man recently applied for work on the Koos farm and was given a job. A few days ago he showed evident signs of being of unsound mind. Koos was unable to give any further particulars concerning the man, beyond that he was called William. The commissioners yesterday issued an order discharging Lottle Fadden from St. Bernard's hospital, where sho has been since December, 1898. At the time of her arrest Lottie Fadden was turned over to the authorities in Omaba, it being claimed by the board here that her legal residence was in Nebraska. The Douglas county com- missioners, however, repudlated her and she was sent back to this side of the river. The local board of commissioners committed ber to St. Bernard's until such time as the State Board of Control should decide what should be done in her case. Nothing has been done by the state board, and as the | woman is of sound mind again she was ordered discharged. She will remain for the present at the hospital, where she has been given employment. Mrs. Sarah Millard of this city, who was committed to the state insane asylum on November 29 last, was ordered paroled in custody of her mother, Mrs. 8. Beverly of East Plerco street. Mrs. Millard's condi- tion Is much improved. Pablic Library Aftairs. At the meeting of the board of trustees of the public library yesterday afternoon little outslde of ordinary routine business was transacted. A new rule was made providing that in the future popular books which are much In demand cannot be retained by any one person for a longer period than seven days. If mot returned at the expiration of a week a fine of 2 cents per day over that time will be assessed. Heretofore all books could be retained for fifteen days. Another rule was made providing for the loaning to patrons of the Itbrary duplicate coples of popular books at 5 conts a weok. As 800D as the receipts from this source have pald for the Quplicate copy it will be placed on the free list. The usual monthly reports of the librarian and sev- eral committees were filed and approved. Welr Doesn't Get It. Tom Wade and George Wood, arrested Sunday by Detectlve Welr on suspicion of being wanted In Omaha for rolling a man to the tune of §45, were released from cus- tody yesterday morning, there being no evi- dence against them. A peculiar feature of the case was the fact that Wade asked the attorney he had retained to defend him to glve 35 to Detective Weir. The detective's brother oficers are wondering what mervice he rendered the alleged “con” men that they should want to present him with $5. The attorney who had recetved $20 from Wade as a retainer declined, however, to part with any of it for the bemefit of the By " Grand Jury. John Evans, arrested July 8 on the charge of murderously assaulting Joseph Clark during a dispute over a boundary fence be- tween thelr respective farms in Gainer townahip, had a preliminary hearing before Justice Ferrier yesterday and was bound over to the grand jury, his bond being fixed in the sum of $400, which he furnished Clark, who displayed a much bruised head, testified that Evans had struck him with a bammer. So serfous were Clark's injuries that for several days after the aseault it was & question whether he would survive them. Both parties are prominent and well-to-do farmens of Garner township. Till Tappers Taken. Ed Dyke, & young man hailing from Hillsdale, Ia., was arrested yesterday morning as he alighted from a Burlington train on the charge of tapping the till in the ticket office at the depot at Hillsdale some time during Sunday afternoon. M dle Grell, a youth who was with Dyke, was also placed under arrest. During the absence of W. H. Currler, the bids for the laying of brick sidewalks, also Burlington agent at Hillsdale, the till was |tapped and $14 stolen. This money with the exception of a few cents was found on | Dyke when arrested. The boys were taken | back to Hillsdale yesterday morning. | Fight at Meadow wn, Fred Francis was arrested yesterday for creating a disturbance last Saturday night at the dance at the Meadow Lawn resort in the southwest part of the city. A number of toughs started a free-for-all fight during which brass knuckles were freely used Francis received a somewhat severe stab in the left breast from a knife handled by one of the fighters. The police were called to the scene, but the gang of toughs made its escape befors their arrival. Nearly every Saturday night since the resort was openes thero has been trouble of some kind or another, demanding the attention of the police. Mary Thompson Sighted. Mary Thompson bobbed up again yes- terday and gave the police another fruit- less chase. She was seen by a som of J, C Berger, who was ploughing oat stubble about halt a mile south of the Union Pacific bridge, near the river. Young Berger unhitched one of his team of mules and gave chase, but Mary, as soon a she noticed he was after her, ran and hid berself in the undergrowth. The police were notified and Officers White and Slack drove to the river and made a search for the young woman. They succeeded in find- ing her footprints, but that was all. Tough Saloon Closed. The saloon at the corner of Twenty-first and Broadway, conducted by Cornelius Johansen, was closed yesterday by the police The saloon has been the resort for some time past of tough characters and a number of fights have taken place there recently.

Hot Wenther at Encampment, CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia., Aug. 13.—(Special.) ~The encampment of the Forty-ninth reg ment, lowa National Guard, is drawing to a close and Camp Kellogg soon will be a thing of the past. The week 80 far has been a trying one to the boys, for the weather hi been terribly hot, ranging from 74, the cool- est of the week, to 97, which was reached on two or three afternoons. Saturday evening a rain storm came, which cooled off the air for a time. Sunday, however, was almost a8 hot as evor. The air was fresher and clearer, but the sun shone down without a cloud in the sky. Adjutant General Byers arrived at the camp Saturday and will remaln until the close, he being joined on Sunday by his wife and daughter. He has been kept very busy of late attending the encampments. Last week he was at Red Oak and next week he will attend the encampment of the Fiftieth at Ottumwa. He announces himself as highly pleased with Camp Kellogg. Governor L. M. Shaw will be here Tues- 148y and, with his staff, will review the reg- |iment. He has been up in Wisconsin making some speeches and it s not known yet just when he will arrive. | _Sunday was the big day at the camp. The | Nerthwestern ran a special train from Clin- ton by way of Tipton, and hundreds came from those cities and intermediate points. Large numbers came from all the other cities represented in the regiment, coming in on the regular trains. Large numbers of Cedar Rapids people also were at the camp Sunday, 3,000 or 4,000 people being present At divine services in the morning. A romantic feature of the encampment Yas the marriage at the camp on Saturday of Miss Nettle Armstrong of Clinton and Otto Kreucher of the same city, a member of the 8lgnal corps. The ceremony was performed by Chaplain Mason of the regiment, Asks Damages for Alleged Aswanit. LEMARS, Ta, Aug 13.—(Special.)—H, B. Van Vieck, a wealthy land owner in the western part of this county, has served orlginal notice on Charles McCaustland, Milo Mills and Jack Gleason, melghboring farmers, claiming damages to the amount of 325,000 for an alleged murderous at- tack made on him by McCaustland, aided and abetted by the others. The trouble originated out of the differences existing between McCaustland and his wife. The latter was a wealthy widow when she married him a few years ago. Differences arose and a dispute over the property, some of which the woman sold to Van Vieck, 18 supposed to be the cause of the assault. Van Vieck came to the Me- Caustland place to take possession of the property and it is claimed Charles Me- Caustland and Gleason assaulted and nearly killed him. They were tried before a justice and acquitted on the ground that McCaustland had an interest in the prop erty and a right to protect it. The prose- cuting witnesses are not satisfied with the decision and will probably carry the case to the grand jury. Mrs. McCaustland brought suit against her husband for forgery, but the case was dismissed. She Is now petitioning for a divorce. The cases will come up for trial at the Sep- tember term of the district court. 1 Towa Concerns Are Sued, SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Aug. 13.—Tn the United States district court for the South- ern district of lowa at Keokuk the Atlan- tie Trust company has filed suits against the White Breast Fuel company and the lowa & Illinols Fuel company, of which L W.

A. B. Cumins of Des Moines or Congressman Dolliver of Fort Dodge. The question will be eettied Fri- day or Saturday, so far as the same can be eettled by Governor Shaw and that official can, as s well known, appoint a senator who shall eerve until the next meeting of the legislature. It being settled that the governor will make an appointment instend of calling the legislature together in epecial session, the next question is, Who will be named? In the epeculation thus far many men have been mentioned. Conger, Kas- son, Lacey, Hepburo, Secretary Wilson, Hull, Perkins av . others have been regarded as in the race, but each and every one has been eliminated and no new names will be considered. 1f Governor Shaw can reconcile the Cummins men even partially he will appoint Dolliver. Whether he will appoint Dolliver knowing that the Cummins men will continue the fight and attempt to se- cure Cummins' eloction by the leglelature is @ question that not even the governor fs prepared to answer at this time. Governor Shaw wants to eatisfy the Tenth district, but it he ehall find it to be his duty to ap- point Cummins, then he wants o be justi- fled in following that eoure. Governor Shaw believes that Cummins, if appointed, would bo elected by the legielature and he is of further belief that Dolliver would be clected under like circumstances provided the Cummins men would not continue the fight for Cummine, Judge Smith McPherson of the federal court will arrive in Des Moines tomorrow and will convene a epecial session of court This was the final word received today by George Christian, United States marshal. The principal business of the sesion will be the examination of the accounts of fed eral officials. It 1s probable that Judge McPherson will announce his appointment tomorrow for the clerk of the United States district court Rumors have been rife recently as to the judge's ultimate action, but as Judge Me- Pherson stated the last time he was in Des Moines none of these originated with him and have been mainly guess work on the part of the public.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Aug. 13.—(Special.)— Two or three weeks ago William Small, a boy of 13 or 14, while playing with some companions, had a handful of sawdust thrown in his face, nearly all of which struck him in the eye. Some of the hard substance lodged in the eye, and it soon became terribly inflamed and the boy suf- fered the greatest pain. He was recclving treatment from a Christian Sclence healer, Who lived in that vicinity and in whom the mother had the most implicit confidence. But the eye continued to get worse. Finally & body of citizens called upon the Chris- tian Sclence healer and invited her to leave the town as speedily as possible or be prosecuted, took the boy in charge, brought him to this city and consulted an eye speclallst.
