Fillman Bleeps While His Com panion Takes Her Departure. WATCH AND VALUABLES GO WITH HER ro! Iceman Guesses Riant and Tskn 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, sged j 12, who reside with their mother, FUlman's divorced wife, In Omaha. Negotiations looking toward his taking the children back with him to Ohio .were proceeding satisfactorily, at least so be thought, when Fillman fell by the wayside. Thursday at his former wife's home he met a woman who gave the name of Mrs. Ada Hunter and claimed to be tbe wife of a barber. This woman Ingratiated herself Into FUlman's good graces by pretending that with the Influence she bad over Mrs. Fill man she could easily secure the surrender of the two children. Fillman was so grati fied over the prospects of his mission to Omaha being successful that he took Mrs. Fillman and Mrs. Hunter out to bare 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 Metropolitan hotel as George W. Adams and 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 Flllman's room at the hotel they experienced much diffi culty In arousing him, and It Is thought be bad at some time during the time In Omaha been given 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 snd yesterday morning was fined $10.60, which she promptly paid. Fillman was al lowed to return to his hotel. Fillman was married in Council Bluffs by Justice John Jay Fralney .about sixteen years ago. His wife shontly after the birth of their second child leftJ.ilm. She later secured a divorce from him, he not defend ing it. Puck's Domestic soap Is best for lauL'4ry. Gravel roofing, A. H. Read. 541 Broadway. NEEDS MONEY TO ENTERTAIN Committee; on .

Mrs. Lambert, It will be remembered, was found dead in bed about ten days ago, the indications pointing to poison.

The gardeners like plenty of rain, but they do not want It in BUCn mcriwiva quHiiiiiivn, CBirciMiiy Bi companled by the cold weather which came In June. It has caused the vines to rot at the roots and now the old-time gardener are extremely discouraged. One of fifty one years' experience says It la the most hopeless outlook In all his history on the Island. He says not a half crop can be harvested under any conditions now. I'sually several gardeners are using their Irrigation plants freely by this time of the year. Now they wlxh they could work them the other way and take the water out of the ground. Irish potatoes are also ex pected to be a disappointment, as they are becoming water soaked. Cabbage Is' the only crop doing well, and It may be spoiled by too rapid growth.

' (From a Staff Correspondent) DES MOINES, July 1L (Special.) Hun dreds of homeless persons spent lsst night In public parks, In tents or unhoused, or on roofs, snd arose at daylight this morn ing, only to find that while there bad been a slight' rectdence In the waters of tho Des Moines snd Coon rivers, It was so slight as to give no Immediate relief. The city and county officials hsve gone to work on relief measures and are organ ized tor taking care of the homeless people until they 'can get back Into their bouses again. The city has converted Its former small pox hospital Into a lodging bouse for the homeless and the 'city ball 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 the situation in the flooded district cannot be materially relieved for several days and that when the water finally reaches Its former chsnnel an epi demic ' of malaria and typhoid will pre vail. The water Is blsck and foul. It Is 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 oecuped 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 resoued, but Crooks could not be reached. He was well known as a saloon keeper snd promoter of sports and had many friends. . The estimate, of losses varies greatly. The additional damage done last night brings the actual damage possible up to $200,000, but this will cover all of the losses. Tbe business houses have been Idle and In the wholesale district but little can be done for eome time. In the neighborhood of 260 tents have been rented by Mayor Brenton. This num ber 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 la dotted with the white canvas bouses, as is Franklin square snd Governor square on the East sldft. . To these tents the people are sent ' after,., thai. . have, been. fed. . Policemen are in charge of tbe tents and they are placing bedding in each pne as fast as it Is possible- In- addition to- this all the schoolhouses on the southeast, , bottom which are not under r water have, been .appropriated by the homeless. ,v; .

In the manu facturing district below Elm street there Is not a factory turning a wheel, everything la at a standstill, rendered so by the high water. . The packing plant Is practically tied up by tbe Inability of the Des Molnss Union to get Its cars to and from the plant. Super intendent Wagner stated this morning that the track leading to tbe packing house, the Iowa Can factory and all tbe factories in thst locality are under water and It Is im possible to trsnsact business with this state of affairs. Even if the floods recede rapidly it will be several days before business will reach Its normal state in the manufacturing dls trlcts. Most of the machinery is water- soaked, necessitating repairs in almost every department. It is understood several of the factories In the lowlands covered by water last night contemplate indefinite shutdown owing to the damage done to machinery. eto. - 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 subsides.

(Special Tel egramsThe Chicago ft Northwestern Railroad company will contest the validity of the special election held yesterday to vote a 4-mlll tax for straightening the channel of tbe Floyd' river, on the ground that only one of the essential propositions was submitted to the people when there should have been two. Tbe code requires the submission of tho two propositions, shall tbe Improvement be made and shall a special tax be levied. The city submitted only the latter proposition because tbe former was carried at a spe cial election In 1899. The ' Northwestern recently constructed a steel bridge over the portion of the river channel proposed to be abandoned at a cost of about $40,000 and would hsve to build a similar bridge over the new channel.

Two men were locked in a dark room and crawled stealthily from corner to cornet, until some false step tnade one of them the target for bullet or blade. Life is a duel In the dark with disease. One false step, one mistake, and the attack comes swift and sudden. The mistake which commonly opens the way for an attack by disease ia neglect of the symptoms of stomach trouble. When eating is followed by undue full Bess, belchings, sour or bitter riaings, etc.. disease is attacking the stomach.

There never was a remedy so highly recommended ss Psine's Celery Compound. There never was a remedy In such uni versal demand.

It has cured disease when everything else has failed. Mrs. Nathan Deal, a well known lady of Gallup s Mills, Vt.,i writes ss follows: "For ten months before I commenced taking Psine's Celery Compound I could not 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 could not lift 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 so nerv ous that I used to tell my husband I would surely go craxy. 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 build up my poor, wornout nerves. .
