ROBBERY WAS COMMITTED DURING JULY Jerrr MrCnrty nnil In1n , Who Helped Dlnnnnc of the SITHHT , Arc Taken to lien Molnc * b - onicer * . Postofflco Inspector Gordon and Sheriff Dow of Nobles county , Minn. , left for DCS Molnes last evening , having In custody Jerry McCorty , John Bell , Tom Wheeler and Celly Hough. McCarty is charged with robbing the postoffico at Adrian , Minn. , on the night of July 12 last nnd the other three men nro accused of aiding In "planting" the pro ceeds ot the robbery In this city. The postofflco at Adrian , a small town In Minnesota , just over the Iowa line , was broken Into on the night ot July 12 nnd the Bate blown open with dynamite. The rob bers secured $200 In cash and postage stamps to the value of $418. Ot the latter $317 worth wore recovered in this city. Suspicion pointed to Jerry McCarty , a well known crook In this section of the country , who has frequently paid Council Bluffs a visit , and Al Dean , known In police circles as "Omaha Pete , " as being the parties respon sible for the safe blowing , as they were known to have been In Adrian the day pre ceding the robbery , and the federal officers started out on their trail , A few days after the robbery McCarty , ac companied by his wife and Dean , appeared in Council Bluffs. They stopped with Tom Wheeler , who made arrangements to hide the "swag" stolen from the postoffice and later dispose of It. McCarty loft his wife , who Is In a delicate condition , at Wheeler's house and with Dean started for Kansas. The government officers , however , were close on their trail and they were captured Just as they struck BelolU They were locked up In the jail over night for safe keeping , but Dean managed to make his escape. McCarty and Dean were locked up In one cell to gether and as. soon aa the jailor's back was turned commenced to dig a hole through the wall of the Jail. Dean , who Is a slim In dividual , managed to crawl through , but McCarty being of a somewhat stouter build , stuck half way and was caught before he managed to get through. So far Dcnn has managed to evade recapture , although the officers have a clew as to his whereabouts and expect to get him before long. It Is not charged that Bell , Wheeler or Hough know anything about the robbery of the Adrian postofflce and were not Impli cated In the deal In any manner until they undertook to dispose ot the stolen stamps for McCarty. Tom Wheeler , at whose house McCarty stopped hero while passing through. Is a waiter In a Broadway restaurant. He first became - acquainted with McCarty , so he claims , at Missouri Valley during the Fire men's tournament when he and McCarty were arrested for alleged complicity In a shooting affray along with young Egbert , who is now in the Harrison county jail awaiting trial. Wlicclcr'n Story. Wheeler claims that ha know nothing about McCarty being Implicated In the rob bery of the postoffice at Adrian or that he had any of the booty with him until he hod been In the house for a couple of days. McCarty first broached the subject by ask ing lilini If ho hod a key to the room which his wife was occupying as ho woufd like to lock It when they were away. Ho then told him that Mrs. McCarty had "stuff" worth over $400 belonging to him. McCarty , he eays , then Induced him to try to dispose of the stamps for him. He was unable to do seat at the time and at McCarty's suggestion got Celly Hough and John Bell to help him. They managed , to dispose of about $100 worth among the different saloons and It is said planted some of them across the river. Hough took charge ot the package contain ing over $300 worth of the stamps and hid them , waiting for an opportunity to dis pose of them. Bell , It Is said , also helped dispose of some of them around 'town. ' This was an easy matter for Bell , as ho works In bin father's grocery Btoro and it was sup posed that ho secured them there- . Inspector Gordon and Sheriff Dow arrived hero Sunday night , having with thctn Mc Carty , who , In charge of an officer , was per mitted to visit his elck wife at Wheeler's houso. Wheeler nnd Bcfl were placed un der arrest Tuesday and locked up In the city Jail. Their arrest was kept quiet nnd their names were not entered on the police blot ter. Celly Hough was arrested late Tues day night a't ' Wlckham's grading camp near Lovcland. Ho at first denied knowing any thing about the stamps , but when Informed that McCarty had confessed the whole story , ho finally weakened and yesterday accom panied Inspector Gordon nnd Sheriff Dow tea a saloon on Broadway whore , under n stair way In a back room , he had hidden the package containing them. Bell and Wheeler nro both married. The former lives with 'his ' wife and two children on Grace street nnd Wheeler has lately re moved to the corner of Eleventh street and Avenue E. Hough has for years been a well known character In local police circles , but aa far as Is known this Is tbo first time ho has been mixed up In any criminal trans actions.

Caucuses for the selection of delegates will bo held Saturday , September 2 at 8 o'clock unless otherwise ordered by the local committees. The caucuses In York nnd Rockford townships will elect a morabor cnch of the county central commltteo to fllll vacancies. The cnll for the holding of the county convention at such an early date came as n great surprise to many , as It had not been expected that It would bo held until some time In October or the latter part of September. Many of the candidates for the different nominations ore opposed to such a long campaign. Friends of A. B. Cummins , candidate for United States senator , claim that the con vention was called at this early date In the Interest of Senator Gear. It Is sold that since Mr. Cummins' recent visit to Council Bluffs his strength In the city had grown wonderfully and Senator Gear's friends were afraid of putting off the cenventlon to the usual time , believing- that It hold at an early date they would be In a better con dition than later on. Particular significance Is given to the visit here yesterday of Hon. Ed Hunter of Des Motnes , who Is known to bo one of Senator Gear's ardent supporters. Mr. Hunter IB a gold democrat and a prominent Polk county politician. Ho was closeted while here with Ernest E. Hart and other promi nent workers In tbo Gear cause. Mr. Cummins will bo In the city tonight and will hold a conference with his friends at the Grand hotel.

Doyle against James F. Burns , pres-Ident of the Portland Gold Mining com pany of Colorado , which was received by the clerk of the court here yesterday. The order gives John N. Baldwin an attorney fee of $2,200 and requires that Burns shall pay this amount Into court here within forty days. In the event of Burns failing to com ply with the order , the Judgement for $717- 025 secured by Doyle against him Is to stand. In the order Judge Thornell recites that when tha order setting aslds the judgement secured by Doyle against Burns was made , Baldwin filed a motion for nn order requir ing Burns to pay fees for the services he had rendered and which became fruitless by thei setting aside of the decree. The at torneys for Burns asked for n postpone ment , which was granted by Judge Thornell and they were given time to make a show ing in resistance. A further postponement was asked by Burns and an objection made to Judge Thornell making an amendatory order In the case on tbo grounds that his jurisdiction ended when he made the first order und that ho could not now impose additional conditions to the eottlng aside of the Judgement. The application for a further postponement and tbo objections raised were overruled by Judge Thornell and the order made. Davis sells oalnt. ! , . Domestic soap sofd by all grocers.

A form of cltecnse may become so com mon that it is regarded as a necessary condition. In some of the valleys of Swit/cr- land goitre , > or thick neck , af flicts every inhabitant. A party of American tourists cn- V tcrinjj otic - of these valleys - leys was followed - lowed by n body of jeering children who cried , "Sec , these people have no goitres , " as if to be with out a goitre was a physical deficiency. Similarly , the prevalence of irregular periods among young women , and the commonness of debilitating drains among married women have created the mischievous idea that these arc the natural conditions of womanhood. In normal health the periods should be regular and painless ami there should be neither drains nor pains for the mar ried woman. To regain that normal condition of health is possible to every woman who will maki a trial of Dr. Tierce's 1'avorite rrcuntytion. It regu lates the periods , dries up the drains , and cures ulcerntion and inflammation. Sick women can consult Dr. R. V. Pierce , Buffalo , N. Y. , by letter without charge.
