S. T. Smith , a truvolln man who mnkcs
his hcadiiuartcrs In this city , has been tear
ing U ) ) n good deal of ground of lute over
what lie claims Is the ltldimi > ing of his two
children , Florence and Sammy , aired 8 and (5 (
years resucotivcly. Smith travels on the
road selling electric belts , and as his
business kept him away from homo nearly
all the time ho hired Wianlo McDonald to
Uko care of the children and to make his
electric bolts jn the meantime. Ills children
arc consider.iblv better known than ho to the
public ot Council Bluffs on account of their
proficiency In dancing.as they have appeared
on the local stage a number of times , always
makini ; great , hits.
About > i month ago the Corso Pnyton Com-
cily company was at Dohany's , and during
tliclr engagement Httlo Florcncu did a spe
cialty net at ono of the performances that
took the eye of the manager to such an ex
tent that ho made an offer for the services of
the two children and their nurse. The offer
was accepted and the three loft with the
company , with the understanding that the
engagement was only tojast thrco weeks ,
unless the children wiintctl toinako it longer
at the end of the time specified.
Smith had been away from ho.mo and , ac
cording to the story told by Miss McDonald ,
had neglected the children shamefully , atone
ono tlmo falling to write homo for moro than
seven weeks. About the 1st of April ho sent
$10 homo. Of this amount Miss McDonald
used i'J in buying material for moro belts ,
and had only 41 loft with which to buy the
necessaries of lilo for herself and the chil
dren. She wrote to him repeatedly for moro
money , but ho failed to send it , and she was
in absolute want.
About two weeks ago Smith found out that
his children had boon Hired to I'ayton. Ho
found them In DCS Molnes , Smllh took the
children and returned with them to this
city , .where ho appeared before .lustico
V'ien and swore out an Information
charging Pnyton with kidnaping. This
was Saturday , and Sheriff Ilazcn at once
telegraphed to the chief of police at DCS
Monies and asked him to arrest Payton I ,
stating that ho would bo there on the tlrst
train. Contrary lo the usual custom among
officials , the chief replied by wlro that ho
could not arrest dim , as there was no charge
mentioned. I la volunteered the Information ,
however , that P.iyton would not loavo.
Ilazcn left for Dos Molnes , and when ho
arrived there was surprised to learn that
about an hour before ho readied the city Itf
I'ny ton and his company had loft the city
for HIoomiiiKton , 111 , , where they had an
engagement of a week to fulfill.
Miss McDonald rotunioJ to Council Hluffs
voluntarily In order that she might put her
friends in possession of the facts from her
point of view.
Smith said that when ho reached homo ho
found all the furniture had been moved out
of the house , leaving It empty. Miss Mo-
Donald says that Smith was hero about live
wee Us ago , when the f unit t uro was moved
out , anil helped to move it. A mortgage for
( X ) , which had been executed upon It having
become duo. Of the $00 , all but $11) ) had been
turned over to him as boon as received by
Miss McDonald , who retained that amount
to bo used In necessary expenses , Shu also
states that she hud not dr.uui any wages
for nine mouths , for Smith had fulled teat
have any money on the low occasions that
he had visited his home.

Trouble 111 tlio OriiHicriilla Idmkt on Ac.
Coconut ( if uu Alli'ti'il "Ural. "
The contest over who stiall bo the next
postmaster of Council HlufTs is stirring up
thu democrats In u wonderful manner , and
discord is reignlncc supreme as the result of
certain rumors that have been sot afloat during
ing the last day or so by some of the moro i or
leis faithful. The ilrit thing that raised the I
trouble WAI the nnnouncom.cnt that
ox-Congressman Thomas Uownian had
espoused the causa of A. W. Hick-
man , who Is the latest candidate
for the pl.ico to como to the
front. This was followed quickly by nn-
other announcement to the effect that Mr.
Hownmn had sold his Interest In the Globe ,
the ofttclal organ of the democracy , nnd that
Mr. Htckman was the purchaser. It was
known several months ngo that Bowman
was very anxious to soil out , but the man
who would buy his Interest did not seem to
bo forthcoming. When thcso two reports
were made , ono right on the heels of the
other , It did not take the democrats
who had been favoring the candl-
dncy of some other man long
to surmlso that there had been
something In the nature of n ucal between
Howman and Ulckmnn by which the former
was to endorse Hlekman's candidacy with
the administration and Ulckmnn was to buy
the Ulobo at Its owner's figures. Up to
within the last few davs It was commonlv
supposed that S. B. wadsworth held the
Insldo track In the race for the postofllcc ,
and his friends lost no tlmo In letting their
wrath como to the surface. In this they
were ably assisted by the nntt-Howmnn
faction of democracy , which has been very
powerful In a number of election camtmlgns
and things took on an Intensely lurid huo.
The report that there was any deal bo-
twccn Itawtnan nnd Itickman h denied cm-
DhatlcnllybyJudgoJ 13. F. McQco , who occu
pies a position of vantage on 4hu inside. Ho
states that after Dowman bad sold out his
paiior to his partner , .T. U. Weaver , ho came
to him nnd offered him his support If ho
would become a candidate for tlio postmas-
tcrshlp. Hut McGco was not thirsting for
olllco Just at that tlmo and ho refused How-
man's assistance. Ho Is positive that If
Howmun had sold out his paper at that tuna
tu Hlckman with any provisions on the sldo
relative to the postoflico ho would not have
been able to offer him his supuort so unre
servedly as ho did. Ho also says that It was
not for some tlmo after Howman sold out to
Weaver that Uickman bought In.
Hlukman corroborates this statement and
scouts as ridiculous the idea that thcro was
any deal between himself and liowmnn. Ho
also states that In his opinion 13. S. Gilbert ,
a third applicant for the position , had a bet
ter chance of success than Wadsworth. but
in an unwary moment admitted that ho
thought the honor lay between himself and
Wadsworth. Front this It may bo scon that
Hiekman , who Is not In the habit of talking
unless he knows what he is talking about ,
bus received assurance from some ono in
authority that ho will bo the administra
tion's choice.

Sxvfmllurs Work Old Soldier * .
IIUNTINOTON , W. Va. , Juno 20. A
party of clever swindlers have been
working the old soldiers of Lincoln
county. They represented themselves
aa agents of the United States govern
ment and stated their business was to
organize lodges of old soldiers. They
organized a lodge in Lincoln county and
they told the old soldiers the secretary
of the treasury needed all the gold on
hand to meet the stringent demands of
the present times ; that if they would
assign their pensions , which are pay
able in gold , they would receive green
backs in return and the gold would bo
forwarded to Washington. The swin
dlers then cashed the checks with bright
now greenbacks , which have since
proven worthless.

CHICAGO , Juno 20. The Record's
Washington correspondent tolcgrapiis
his pnDcr this morning thus :
There are friends of Mr. Cleveland
who do not hesltato to say that ho will
bo put in nomination again. To the
suggestion of the third-term antipathy
supposed lo bo bold hy Tammany people
the answer Is mtuto that another election
will not bo a third consecutive term , the
intervention of Mr. Harrison rendering
that objection practically void. The
gentlemen who talk in this way for Mr.
Cleveland belong to Now York
state and have been idcntlflod
with Mr. Cleveland's fortunes since
ho was uovcrnor. They are disposed of
resent tlio idea that there are presiden
tial candidates among the members of
the present cabinet , but they are forced
to admit that either Greslnun or Car
lisle would have a strong following in
the convention. Among Kentuckians
Carlisle for the presidency is announced
and no secret is made of the intention to
trivo him the delegation from that state ,
if possible. But this is on the theory
that Mr. Cleveland's present term will
end his public career , and that to pro
pose Mr. Carlisle for Mr. Cleveland's
successor is not disloyalty to the presi
dent.
dent.Tho
The Gi-esham boom , if such it can bo
called , has less positivonoss in it. Tn
fact Mr. Gresham's future is discussed
in a speculative way. The friends of
Mr. Gresham say that if the general is
not appointed to the supreme bench ,
then , after Cleveland whom the
Gresham men also regard as being out
of tiic race ho is the one candidate who
can draw more strength from the repub
lican side , while holding the democratic
vote. Tlio recent illness and prospec
tive retirement of Justice Blatchford
points out a way for Gresham to the
supreme bench , and as ho is not a man
of fortune , nor one whoso ambitions
would not bo satisfied with the highest
judicial position , it is admitted to bo
possible that ho will thus bo taken away
from among the presidential candidates.
It will bo noticed that in this gossip
only the names of thot-o directly con
nected with the present administration
are used. No note is taken of outside
candidates , who , in 'fact , have nothing
to do with this interesting political situ
ation , it being held that the democratic
candidate for succeHf.or to Mr. Cleveland
will bo a member of this administration.
