Counell B LEWIS CUTLER CONFIDENCE 1S MISPLACED George W. Fillman Sleeps While His Com- panion Takes Her Departure. WATCH AND VALUABLES GO WITH HER Pollceman Guesses Right and Takes Woman to Station, Where Watch and Other Valuables Are Recovered. George W. Fillman of Akron, O., for many years a well-known traveling man in Omaha, came to Council Bluffs several days ago for the purpose of trying to obtain possession of his daughter, aged 15, and his son, aged 12, who reside with their mother, Fillman's divorced wife, in Omahi Negotiations looking toward his taking the children back with him to Ohlo .were proceeding satistactorily, thought, when Fillman fell by the wayside. Thursday st his former wife's home he met a woman who gave the name of Mrs. Ada Hunter and claimed to be the wife of a barber. This woman ingratiated herself into Fillman's good graces by pretending that with the Influence she had over Mrs. Fill- man she could easily secure the surrender of the two children. Fillman was so grati- fed over the prospects of his mission to Omaha belng successful that he took Mrs. Fillman and Mrs. Hunter out to have a good time, which meant the consumption of a number of drinks. Accompanied by the Hunter woman Fill- man returned to Council Bluffs on a late car Thursday night and registered at the wife. At the suggestion of Officer Calla- ghan, who noticed the couple, Fillman left the greater part of his money with the clerk before going to his room. A short while after Officer Hayes no- ticed the woman waiting for a car at the Northwestern tracks and suspecting some- thing wrong took her to the city jail. In- vestigation showed that she had robbed Fillman of his watch and chain, gold eye- glasses and whatever money he had. When the officers went to Fillman's room at the hotel they experienced much diffi- culty in arousing him, and it is thought he had at some time during the time in Omaha been glven knockout drops. He was taken to police headquarters, and when the woman was confronted with him she ad- mitted taking the money and watch from him and returned them. She was locked up and yesterday morning was fined $10.60, which she promptly paid. Fillman was al- lowed to return to his hotel.

Rains and cold weather have ruined the prospects for a big watermelon and sweet potato crop on Muscatine island, which was expected a month ago to furnish 2,000 cars of melons this season. The gardeners ke plenty of rain, but they do not want it in such excessive quantities, especially ac- companled by the cold weather which came in June. It has caused the vines to rot at the roots and now the old-time gardeners are extremely discouraged. One of fifty- one years' experience says It is the most hopeless outlook in all his history on the island. He says not a half crop can be harvested under any conditions now. Usually several gardeners are using thelr frrigation plants freely by this time of the year. Now they wish they could work them ihe other way and take the water out of the ground.

PROBLEM OF FEEDING THEM IS SERIOUS Des Moines and Coon Rivers at a Stand and Rellef is Expected Soon Unless More Rain Falls, (From a Staft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, July 11.—(Special.)—Hun- dreds of homeless persons spent last night in publie parks, in tents or unhoused, or on roofs, and arose at daylight this morn- ing, only to find that while there had been a slight' recédence in the waters of the Des Moines and Coon rivers, it was o slight as to give no immediate relief. The city and county officials have gome to work on relfef measures and are organ- ized for taking care of the homeless people until they can get back into their houses again. The city has converted its former emall- pox hospital into a lodging house for the homeless and the 'city hall and jail have been filled with cots. These can accom- modate but a small portion of those who need shelter, however, and ‘tents are being distributed at the schoolhouse yards and parks. It is believed thé situation in the flooded district cannot be materially relieved for several days and that when the water finally reaches its former channel an epi- demic of malaria and typhold will pre- vail. The water ia black and foul. It s filled with overturned houses, garbage, car- casses of dead animals and other debris. It spreads out over more than a mile of territory through the lower portion of the city, formerly occuped by houses. Drowned While Out in Boat. Thomas Crooks, a man about 40 years of age, was drowned this evening. He and two women were out in a boat, which was overturned by the current. The women were rescued, but Crooks could not be reached. He was well known as a saloon- keeper and promoter of sports and had many friends. The estimate of losses varles greatly. The additional damage done last night brings the actual damage possible up to $200,000, but this will cover all of the losses. The business houses have been fdle and in the wholesale district but little can be done for some time. In the neighbarhood of 260 tents have been rented by Mayor Brenton. This num- bar was augmented. by the addition of fifty belonging to the Iowa National guard, which were offered by Governor Cummins. The tents are placed at the different parks throughout the city. The Children's park near the First street bridge is dotted with the white canyas houses, as is Franklin square and Governor square on the Ea sidp. . To these tents the people are sent after. they have been fed, _Policemen are in charge of the tents and they are placing bedding in each pne as fast as it is pos- sible. In addition to this all the schoolhouses on the southeast bottom which are not under - water have. been appropriated by the homeless.

Yet mot one falled to appear . this morning when told to continue on the Southside., The ambulance has been on duty for over forty-eight hours, and Driver Shea this morning resembled a shadow. One of the ambulance horses dled from ex- haustion at 10 o'clock and the other Is in a bad_condition. The.Great Western and Keokuk & West- ern roundhouses are completely submerged and neither road can cross the river, owing to washouts and destruction of bridges.

Even If the floods recede rapidly it will be several days before business will reach its normal state in the manufacturing dis- tricts.

It is understood several of the factories in the lowlands covered by water t night contemplate indefinite shutdown owing to the damage done to machinery, ete. - The manufactories not damaged by the floods are unable to ship their goods out owing to the water surrounding their build- ings and are therefore compelled to operate and pile up the finished material until the water subeides.

The western part of this city is under water, some of the houses being entirely surrounded, and all the cellars are full of water. In the business district of the city many cellars are full of water and the loss to merchants will be considerable. An addition in the southwest part of town is under water and all the residents have been forced to move out. Boat riding is all the go in the west end. The water west of here raised several inches last night, but it s thought that the worst is now over. ONAWA, Ia, July 11.—(Special Tele- gram.)—There is no particular change in the flood situation. The Little Sloux, Ma- ple and West Fork are still overflowing the bottoms. Water is from one to four feet deep and is spreading out fast. Many acres of crops will be damaged considera- bly. W. J. Benson and Frank Winegar, two real estate men, while driving today near the Sioux river, got Into deep water with their team, which went down, and in an effort to cut them loose the men were nearly drowned. Both men went down twice and had about given up hope when they managed to catch onto a wire fence and saved themselves.

INCREASE IN INSANE IN THE STATE Dr. Weardshear of Ames College Seriously Il from Nervous Prows. tration and Needs Long Rest. (From a Staft Corr DES MOINES, July 11.—(Special.)—The members of the state executive council will go to Glenwood Saturday morning to take a look at the property of the state In connection with the Institution for Feeble-Minded and fix upon the sum of damages to be pald by the Burlington for the proposed right-of-way through the state property. Inasmuch as the survey involves a deep cut through the best part of the ground of the institution it will be necessary to go and see the site to de- termine the damage. It is probable that President Cownie of the Board of Control will accompany the members of the execu- tive council and represent the interests of the state. There was & rumor that the people of Glenwood had agreed to pay the damages for the new route, but this is denled, by the representatives of the city and by the engineers of the company. The Burlington is as desirous of keeping in Glenwood as the people of Glenwood are to keep the road. Increase of the Insane. The records of the hospitals of the state show that the number of Insane in Iowa is iIncreasing at the rate of about 125 a year. The Board of Control finds that on June 30 last there were in the state, in custody, 4, insane persons, of which 950 were in county institutions, 424 in pri- vate institutions and 3,152 in state hos- Ppitals. The total June 30, 1901, was 4,300; June 30, 1000, was 4,204, and June 30, 1899, was 4,149. The increase of the number of insane in the state is steady and necossi- tates a constant increase in the facilities for handling them and caring for them. Candidate to Be pondent.) Named, Chairman Spence of the republican state committee has issued a supplemental call for the state convention, calling attention to the fact that it will be necessary to nominate two judges of the supreme court instead of one, the extra one being to succeed Judge Waterman, resigned. Frac- tically all the delegates to the state con- vention have been named and this an- nouncement will make no change in the program. Major 8. H. M.

The adjutant general's force is busy pre- paring for the encampment of the Forty- ninth reglment, Iowa Natlonal guard, at Cedar Falls, next week. The tents and equipment will be sent up tomorrow and preparations be made at once. The equip~ ment recelved hard usage at Fonda, where it was necessary for the camp to break up before the week was half done, but another effort at holding a good encamp- ment will be made next week. Dr. Henry Sabin returned this morning from Minneapolis and was able to give an entirely accurate account of President W. M. Beardshear's iline: Dr. Beardshear was taken to a hospital and with the ex- ceptian ot Secretary James Wilon, an in- timate friend, no one was admitted to his room. Secretary Wilson found him suffer- ing from nervous prostration, complicated with some bronchial affection. He says that nothing but complete rest will restore him and it will take time. His friends hope that the trustees of the college will give him six months' or a year's leave of absence with full salary, that he may in- dylge in the needed rest.

One falee one mistake, and the attack comes swift and sudden. The mistake which commonly opens the way for an attack by disease is neglect of the symptoms of stomach trouble. When eating is followed by undue full- ness, bélchings, sour or bitter risings, etc., disease 1s attacking the stomac! The best way to frustrate such an at- tack is to use Dr. Pierce's Golden Med- ical Discovery, It cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition, and makes the body strong and healthy. 1 was suffering very much with my bead and stomach.” writes Mrs. W.

Myrs. Nathan Beal say: Paine’s Celery Compound Saved Me From the Insane Hospie tal as Well as Cured My Rhenmatism. There never was a remedy o highly recommended as Paine's Celery Compound, There never was a remedy in such uni- versal demand. It is popular and prized in tens of thousands of homes, because it makes sick people well. Paine's Celery Compound has saved thou- sands from nervous prostration and col- lapse; it has effected wonderful cures in kidney and liver complaints; its victories over rheumatism and neuralgla have com- manded the attention and admiration of our best physicians. It has cured disease when everything else has failed, Mrs. Nathan Beal, a well known lady of Gallup's Mills, Vt., writes as follows: “For ten months before I commenced taking Paine's Celery Compound 1 could mot put my foot on the first round of my chair, only five inches from the floor. I had nearly lost the use of my left side, and I coul fiot 11t a pound weight with the left hand without danger of dropping it. Many times I would lift something at the table, only to drop it. I had a pressure in the top of my head and a pain at the base of the brain, which would leave me 8o nerv- ous that I used to tell my husband I would surely go crazy. I could not keep still at night, and Sundays were just awful to me. I found my whole system pros- trated, and it took a long time to bufld up my poor, wornout nerves. I think that Paine’s Celery Compound saved me from the Insane Hospital, as well as cured my rheumatism.” $5.00 A MONTH il Specialist o all DISEASES snd DISORDERS of MEN. . 12 years in Omaha.
