The home of Phil Hlrtei , 1113 Avenue J ,
was the beone of a domestic honsallon on
Trlda ) night that had among Its star
fentuics nn expose uf n husbnnd'R Infidelity ,
a thlcalemd murder , an attempted sulcldo
and culminated In lllrtes' sudden dcpaiturc
for paits unknown.
Hlrtes hat Hvnl In Council Bluffs n num-
bci of jeais nnd wus well known. Ho was
formctly cmplojed as a stove man In n
Main street hardware house , but during the
lust sl < c months has hern In the employ of
a blevclo firm on Broadw.iy. He was mar-
tied about five > enrs ago to Miss Hose
Thnckn of this city and has been living
for Rome time on Avenue J. Ho has two
child ! rn.
Some time ngo Mrs. Hlrles noticed that
her hueband was rpi-ndliiR ; n great deal of
time from homo , mote than was necessary ,
and she commenced an Investigation. She
dlsrovoied a letter In his pocket , addressed
to 'Dear Phil" nnd the name , address and
photograph of the concspondent. She acted
nt once and coon discovered the woman.
Theic v.as n stormy sccno for n minute
when Hlitrs' new flame explained the sit
uation and convinced Mis. Hlrtes that she
thought Hlrtes was n single ninn nnd hud
recelve'd his attentions In good faith She
promised to go to the Hlitcs homo and
face the man who had wronged two women
whe'ii ho came home.
That's how It happened that when Hlrtes
arrived homo long after the usual dinner
hour on Friday evening he found n hot
roast waiting foi him. When ho entered
the house he faced Mrs lllrtes and the othci
woman , whoso name has not been divulged
The wife was silent , but the new love came
up nobly "Weil , Phil , " she said , "I have
iiiscovercd that you are not n single man
ns you represented joursclf to be nnd that
the money jou hnvc been spending on mo
has been taken from the funds that should
have gene to make your wife and chlldrc-n
happy. I never thought much of your
looks , but you were good company nnd
spent youi money fieely enough. 1 detest
you for your action and will leave you lo
make your peace with your wife , " and she-
sailed out of the house.
Then came the domestic crash. Mrs
Hlrtes denounced her hiibband and he sought
to justify himself , but failed , and
then threatened to kill her nnd
the children Ho Hnally left the
house and filled up on beer and came
back and asked to bo allowed to kiss the
bnbles. Ho told his wife ho had taken
poison and wanted to die right quick. He
went out Into the yard and fell In a nt and
bade the world good bye. But Phil had been
full of beci bcfoic and when the folks.began
to pour milk down him he came out of the
spasm promptly , put on his best clothes nnd
disappeared. He Is suppobcd to have left
tbe city.
Much sympathy Is cxpicsscd by the neigh
bor for Mrs Hirtes and her bnbles. She
Is without means of support and has re
turned to her paients , who are In no posi
tion to bear the additional burden placed
upon them by Hlitcs' cussedness.

to nsk the assistance of the authorities In
locating the missing animal. He found the
police sergeant reading a descilption of a
young man named James Gibbons , who had
broken jail at Lognn and was missing. He
gave n descilption of the man who had

A woman with a young baby In her arms
visited the Union Pacific round house yes
terday nnd told the men employed there a
sad story of her destitute condition and her
anxiety lo reach her homo In Davenport.
She was n pretty little woman , nnd the story
she told fell so naturally from her lips that
the sympathies of the big-hearted railroad
men were deeply touched. A proposition to
raise a purse sufficient to send her home was
quickly acted upon , and within n few
minutes the round house men had placed
$10 of their hard earnings Into the woman's
hands Their kindness did not stop with
this generosity They took her to the street
car nnd paid her fare up town and gave her
n note to the ehlcf of police asking him to
assist her In procuring a ticket and helping
her on the right trnln. To make It still
more ccitnln that she would receive all the
assistance possible from the police depart
ment , the chief's ofllco wns called up by
telephone nnd the Information given that
the woman was coming. When she left the
round house she \\tis profuse In her thanks
nnd shook each of her bcnrfactois warmly
by the hand An hour passed nnd she hnd
not called nt the police headquarters Within
another hour a telephone message came from
the Hock Island round house announcing
that the employes had contributed liberally
to the snmo woman for the same purpose
The police heard of her ns late ns f > o clock

DCS MOINB3 , July IS. ( Special ) The
railroad conunlsbloneis will , on July 31 , hear
the arguments In what promises to be one
of the most hotly contested eabes that has
conio before them In several years. It
relates to rates on hay. Some time ago the
commission issued an order which made
effective an Inciease of about 25 per cent on
all hay freight rates in the state There
Kid been no hearing , and the shippers
did not know till the order wab
Ifasucd that it wab contemplated They
have filed piotests against the action
which they say is the first the com
mission has ever taken to Increase any rate
from that fixed In the commission's schedule
adopted several years ago. There have been
various reductions , but never before an In
crease of a rate The shippers of hay In
western Iowa annually ship thousands of
carloads of hay to the eastern part of the
state , where not enough hay Is produced to
supply the local demand. The shippers say
that under the new rate they w 111 be unable
to bhlp any bay In the state , and will be
compelled to send It all out of the state
under the Interstate rates , which remain
unchanged Frank T. Campbell , ox-rallioad
commissioner , has been engaged by the
shlppeis as council , and a long hard fight
will bo made.

Land bharks arc woihlng a new and no\cl
racket In come parts of western Iowa , and
have landed several innocents Their plan
Is to get a list of farmcis desiring to dispose
of their pioperty ; then obtain permission to
list the farm and to receive a ccitiiln com
mission In case of sale The offer seems
bon a fide and peifectly honorable , but there
Is a fine print clause In the contract which
the farmer Is icqulied to blgn that piactl-
cally makes of It a mortgage. The agent
has the Instrument leeordcd and then the
farmer discovers he has a plaster on his
pioperty. The game is for the shark to
accept a certain amount of money , depend
ing upon the subject , as blood-monej , and
then get out of the countiy As a general
thing farmers will pay It rather than stand
a law suit , which Ib threatened.
