NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS
Bunlar Butler Doesn't Much Like the
Official Way of Treating Desperados.
HE THINKS IRONS ARE A HARDSHP
( live * Ills Prim to Opinion of the .Men Who
Took Him tu the I'mltciitltiry ns
Well ns 111.1 IMlnmtn of Judge
WuoUnn ns n Jurist.
"Spoony" Duller , alias Wilson , the Qrls-
v.-oM bank cracksman , was taken to the An-
nmosa penitentiary Thursday night for his five
years' sentence. All during the trial he main
tained his equilibrium lalrly well , although
It was clear thnt ho bitterly resented having
the handcuffs on his wrists whenever he
stirred outside the Jail walls. Hut when he
was about to Icnvo tlio jail * for the train
and saw the shackles for his legs brought
out he exclaimed : "You fellows are a set
of cowardly curs. " That made no difference ,
however , for the leg Irons were" put on and
he was led off.
In a conversation with some of his Council
Bluffs friends at the Jail Thursday after
noon ho showed clearly that he was a man
far above the ordinary In point of Intellect.
He talked In a way that Indicated high edu
cation. "I'll bo all right In the pcnltcn
tlary , " said ho , "If they'll only lot me have
all the books I want to read. I Intend to go
through a course of study whllo I am con
fined. The penitentiary Is all right ; they
will treat you well If you behave yourself. "
He would glvo no Information whatever ,
It he had any to give , concerning Hlley , his
missing comrade. He seemed to have some
feeling toward Smith because the latter got
off with a four-year sentence.
"I am glad this thing Is over , " said he.
"I got tired of having myself compared with
goody goody people. "
He gave his opinion of Judge Woolson In
a few short sentences filled with vigorous
English. "That man. " ho remarkeJ , "has
not been on the bench long enough to know
that the bench Is no place for calling pcoplo
names. I haven't any complaint to make
over the way I was treated by the other
olliclals , but I do not think that for the
judge to heap additional disgrace on mo
whllo pronouncing sentence was uncalled
for. "
The thing the stuck hardest In his craw
was evidently the fact that the Judge Im
plied that he was not well "onto his Job'
as a cracksman. It will be remembered thai
Judge Woolson said there was seldom a case
where the men who committed a crime made
so many blunders , or where the officials
were able so easily to follow them step by
step. Wilson has as much pride In his pro
fesslon aa any doctor or lawyer In Councl
Illuffs has , nnd to be called a quack did no
go down easily.
Smith will probably be taken to Fort Mad
Ison this evening.
Doctors warn against alum baking ponders

1'reibjterlnil Conrnrt.
Seldom has any concert given In Councl
Illuffs been so liberally patronized or more
heartily enjoyed' , If applause counts for any
thing , than the one In the Presbyterian
church last evening under the auspices of
the Society of Christian Endeavor. The Omaha
Glee club , directed by L. A. Torrcns , was the
principal attraction , Its first selection "Nel
lie Was a Lady , " with the solo sung by Dan
Wheeler , being beautifully rendered and
greeted with an encore. "The Phantom
Hand" and "Night Witchery" were also
finely rendered , Jules Lutnbard received his
usual cordial reception when he sang "The
Pirate's Song , " and In response to a demand
" for another surprised the audience by slng-
"Ing , "Arc "Ye Slcepln' , Maggie ? " The Dud-
Icy Buck quartet sang "Estudlantlna , " by
Lacome , "Dinah Doe , " by Malloy , and
"Come , Love , Come , " by Neldllnger , and
had to respond to encores twice. The violin
and trombone numbers by Albln Hustcr , and
the organ numbers of J. II. Slmms were well
rendered. After the concert the performers i
and their lady friends were treated to re
freshments at llnndlett's by the Dudley Buck
quartet.

Are llollovea to Hitvo Met Death In the
Itlvrr.
PACIFIC JUNCTION , In. , April 2G.-Spe- (
clnl. ) At Hnrtlett , ten miles below here ,
last Sunday evening , the two daughters of
Charles Chnmbers , Lottie nnd Nellie , mys
teriously disappeared , nnd It Is claimed
Hint they met their death In the Missouri
river. During the evening n party of young
people nssembled nt the Chambers house
hold to hnve n social time. After the com
pany hnd depnrteil Mr. Chnmbers went out
to the field to feed the cnttle , nnd as soon
ns their father hnd left the house the two
Blrls stnrted out for a walk. Lottie , the
elder girl , was 17 years of nge , while Nellie
wns only 10 , nnd in starting out they went
toward the river. They were seen by George
Huffman , Sam Dallcy , G. II. Estes nnd sev
eral others , but nothing unusual wan no
ticed about the girls. As they proceeded to
ward the river n couple of boys followed
them , but perceiving the latter watching
them the girls turned bnck , nnd the boys
then went home , concluding that the girls
hnd merely gone out for a stroll.
Apparently , however , ns soon ns the boys
were out of sight the girls retraced their
steps toward the river. Their tracks were
plainly visible , but only up to within ten
or twelve feet of the water's edge , when
the trncks of the younger girl censed nnd
only those of the elder continued up to the
wnter. It Is surmised that Lottie picked
her little sister up In her nrms nt that
point , cnrrlcd her to the wnter nnd then
plunged In. Lottie's fascinator was found
on the bank , nnd Hint wns all thnt remained
to tell the fate of the two girls.
The father Is-nenrly distracted with grief ,
but cnn assign no reason for his girls' de
siring to end their lives. The affair Is sur
rounded with the deepest mystery , but no
doubt Is entertained of the sad fnte of the
two young girls.

Trustees of the Associated Oharitios Find
Fault with the Officers ,
NOT STRAIGHT IN MAKING tXPENDITURES
Everybody Turned In n Itc lgimtlon but go
i'nr Only Secretary Mcllrtdo In Out
Next Meeting Looked Turnrnrd
to with Interest.
A well attended meeting of the executive
committee of the Associated Charities was
held yesterday afternoon. The five members
who were appointed to act as trustees of
the late charity ball fund were present. A
resolution to dissolve the association at once
was lost.
It may bs Interesting to a few of the per
sons who worked night and day for over two
weeks to make the charity ball a success
to read the following report Introduced by
the trustees :
To the Executive Committee of the As-
coclatrd Charities : We , the undersigned ,
repectfully desire to censure the present
system of expenditures In the Associated
Charities. A system which allows $460 to
be expended In one month ( a sum ex
ceeding thnt which was spent during the
entire winter ) Is manifestly Injudicious.
We think It wns the duty of the olllcers
to cnll the attention of the executive
board to the lavish manner In which the
association's money wns being expended
during the last thirty days. We recommend
thnt no goods be purchased without per
mission of the executive board nnd further
recommend thnt the nssoclntlon be closed
todny.
This report wns read by Mr. Walters and
was signed by W. B. Cheek , W. S. King , C.
L. Talbot , A. L. Lott and J. S. Walters ,
The reading of the report caused a com
motion.
Cheek got up to say that the citizens of
South Omaha worked hard to get a little
fund together to help the poor people here
and as a result nearly $1,000 was raised to
aid the association , yet In the face of hard
times $750 had been spent Inside of sixty
days. An auditing committee had been ap
pointed at a meeting some time ago , but what
good was It. Two weeks ago there was a
meeting and this auditing committee , ap
pointed by the citizens of South Omaha to see
that the money raked by so much labor
was properly spent , was confronted with a
stdck of bills all stamped paid. When asked
about the matter McBrlde failed to make a
satisfactory explanation. This fact set the
citizens' committee to thinking and It was
decided to do a little quiet checking up of
the accounts In order to let the public know
how President Adams and other olflcers ran
things and then resign. And the program
was carried out. Every one resigned except
Westerfield.
In going over the bills after the report of
the five members had been read It was found
that one pound of peaches cost the assocla
tlon 25 cents. For shoes last month nearly
$200 was expended. Cressey , a member of the
old board , was allowed to make a pair ol
shoes that cost the association $6. An
Omaha firm sent In a bill for about $80 worth
of merchandise. Among the items was flour.
A comparison of the blllB for' flour between
the Omaha and South Omaha firms showed
that the same brand of flour could be bought
here for 20 cents less than fhe price paid
in Omaha. Walters wanted to know why it
was that the association went out of town
to buy supplies when the money was all
raised right here. McBrlde explained that
when the flour was bought In Omaha the
local dealers were all out and ho was com
pelled to go to the city "for a few hundred
pounds.
Finally King Insisted upon -a vote on the
resolution nnd after numerous objections
from the honorable olllcers It- was put to a
vote and carried. Adams granted a reconsld
cratlon and gave the four women present a
vote , though they were riot members of the
executive committee. Then 'the resolution
was lost.
Cheek then read the resignation of Messrs
Talbot , King , Walters , Lott and Cheek. This
wns another surprise. Wes'terfleld could 1101
get to his feet quick enough to move that
the resignations be accepted. > By request tfto
resignations were withdrawn for the time
being. Then Adams said he had served the
association two years and ho tendered his
resignation. McBrlde followed. There was
no hesitation In accepting McBride's resig
nation , but Adams was prevailed upon to
hold until next Friday , when new officers
will bo elected , _

At a meeting of the Board of Park Com
missioners yesterday afternoon Superin
tendent Adams submitted the following esti
mates of the amounts which will ba required
for maintenance purposes during the remain
der of the year : Hanscom park , $3,800 ;
Illvervlew , $1,500 ; Elmwood , $1,500 ; Miller ,
$1.000 ; North Boulevard , $1,000 ; Bemls , $180 ;
Jefferson square and Capitol avenue , $420 ;

After deducting the bills for April there
Is about $19,000 left In the park fund , of
which about $6,500 will be required to com
plete the artesian well In Illvervlew park.
This would leave a balance of less than
$2,000 with which to pay salaries and nil
Incidental expenses. In view of this condition
the superintendent was Instructed to cut his
expenses to the lowest possible figure.
The president was given authority to ar-
rnngo for the refunding by the city of the
$1,500 which was advanced by the board

Best Spring Remedy in tlie World-
It Makes People Well ,
There Is one true specific for diseases arising from n debilitated nervous system , anfl
that Is Paine s celery compound , so generally prescribed by physicians. U Is probably the
most remarkable remedy that the rclcnllllc research of this country hns produced. Prof.
Kdward . . . . .
E. ,
Phelps M.D. , LL.D. , of Dartmouth college , first prescribed what Is now known
the world over as Palne's rclery compound , a positive cure for dyspepsia , biliousness , liver
complaint ' , neuralgia , rheumatism , all n ° rvous disuses : ind kidney troubles. For the latter
Palne's celery compound has succeeded again and again where everything else has failed.
The medical Journals of this country have given
more space In the last few years to
the many remarkable cases where the use -of Palno's celery compound has made people well
than to any other one subject.
