DIVORCED HUSBAND FAILS TO SEE JOKE Ran to Police Statins an Hm Ofllrcrs Arrest His Warlike es-Wlfe, Who la Now Held for Trial. "I bad no Intention of killing him. I only wanted to wine; him and show htm that I wai somebody still." was the statement of Mrs. Lillian Felix, a young and hand some mulatto woman when arrested yes terday afternoon, charged with shooting and attempting to kill, Jesse Felix, a colored dining car waiter. The woman Is the di vorced wife of Felix, and the shooting took place at 1510 Eighth avenue, where Felix Uvea with his present wife. Three rears ago Felix was arrested on complaint of the young woman now charged with attempting to shoot him. but com- promised the case by marrying her. At that time Mrs. Felix, whose maiden name was Lillian Taylor, was but a mere child. I Within a year of the marriage Felix secured 1 a divorce and married again. Mrs. Felix No. 1 went to Kansas City, but returned to Council Bluffs a few days ago and since then has made more or less trouble for her former husband. The young woman Insisted on Felix reo- ognlzlng her as his wife, and yesterday afternoon went to his home and demanded that ha take her back to live with him. This Felix declined to do, seeing that he had another wife on his hands. ' Felix started to drive the young woman from the house, when she whipped out a revolver and pointing It at him exclaimed, "Well, If you won't take me back, I will send you to a place where you won't want any wife." The sight of the revolver made Felix pale, at least so the young woman told the police, snd believing that discretion wss the bet tor part of valor took to his heels and ran from the house. As he made a dash for the ball door, the young woman fired, but the bullet went wide and lodged In the jam of the door. She took another shot, but this time Felix was making the sprint of his life down the avenue and never stopped till he reached police headquarters. As Felix Is due to go out on his run today Judge Scott held a special session of police court yesterday afternoon and bound Mrs. Felix No. 1 over to the grand Jury. In de fault of ball she was committed to the county Jail. i- Klne Millinery Showing-. what was possibly the finest showing of r evr ,ee,n !n Counc,, B,uff9 was that of the three days' opening that clo,cd ,ast ven,n at the Bo,ton 8tore- inuring mai time nunareas or people in spected the newest shapes and designs in pattern hats and other millinery goods and the general expression was that the Bost ton Store's display far exceeded their ex pectations. The display room, on the sec ond floor, was decorated In a most artis tic manner .throughout. The beautiful French pattern1 hats, ' Imported directly ,by the proprietors, Messrs. Whltelaw & Gar diner, from Paris, embracing the latest styles In Parisian millinery, were conspic uously displayed and made a sight fully sustaining the worthy comments made by the feminine visitors about their being the "most beautiful hats I ever saw." These hats were displayed In a separate apart mment, while the main room was used mostly In displaying the creations from the Boston Store's own - workroom.' The hats and trimmings displayed here were in many Instances the equal of the foreign patterns shown by other millinery stores. During the entire three days of the opening the store was fairly Jammed at times with psople eager to see what was the latest thing out in millinery. They certainly had their wishes gratified and the opening can be recorded as one of the most successful ever given In Council Bluffs. Davis sells paints. With the Churches.

HENDERSON'S FRIENDS RULE lUconTinii; of Old Osnvsntlon laki AnnrtiM sf This Fact. WOMAN STARTS TO AVENGE DAUGHTER Trustees of Parsons College Ask flOO.OOO of Fairfield to Retain the College at that Place. (From a Staff Correspondent.) ' DES MOINES, Sept. 20. (Special.) The republican district convention at Hamp ton on Thursday next, or rather the recon vening of the old convention which met and adjourned sine die May 1 last, is likely to be one of the liveliest conventions In dis trict politics. Already practically every county has a candidate except Dubuque county. In view of Henderson's declination Dubuque will present no candidate. Among those who are either avowedly candidates or are being seriously considered for the place are the following: Senator O. B. Courtrlght, Black hawk county; Charles E. Pickett, Blackhawk county; Judge W. D. Evans, Franklin county; Judge B. P. Bird sail, Wright county; Representative Bur ton E. Sweet, Bremer county; C. E. Al- brook, Hardin county; Charles E. Ransler, Buchanan county; Senator George E. Craig, Butler county. The fact that the old delegates will make the nomination and the district will not have an opportunity to express preferences is regarded as certainly eliminating both of the Blackhawk county candidates, and Indicates that the friends of Henderson will dominate the convention In Its entirety. There is much complaint because the old delegates were called together again. The claim Is made that they have no right to hold another convention, that when the convention which they were elected to adjourned sine die, as It did May 1 last, they were no longer delegates, that the ac tion amounts to nothing more than the congressional committee naming all the delegates, and therefore that the nominee of the convention will have to go on the ballot by petition Instead of by filing cer tificates of hla nomination. An added element came Into the cam paign today when Ephraim J. Dean of Waverly filed nomination papers as a can didate for congress In the Third district on an anti-monopoly platform. ' The -socialists also Intend to make a nomination. The prohibition candidate is already In the field at work. Plea Made for Boles. The democratic congressional committee has called a meeting at Waterloo on Mon day for a conference with ex-Governor Botes In regard to the campaign. At that time the plan of campaign will he msjined out. They are preparing to make a strong campaign for Boies. They will hold out the hope that If Boies can go to congress with the prestige of having caused the defeat of the speaker In a strong repub lican district be will at once become so prominent In the councils of the democratic party that he will be the democratic nomi nee for president In 1904. The claim made here that Congressman Hedge, who has been renominated In the First Iowa district, at the reef nt conference offered, to withdraw If the county commit teemen felt ..that his place on the ticket was harmful. There has been dissatisfac tion In the district similar to that In the Third. The statement that this matter of withdrawal was even suggested Is not be lieved here and is denied by those who were present. - Colonel W. P. Hepburn has made dates for opening meetings in hla district as follows: Charlton, October 1; Center- vllle, October 4; Conway, October 7; Bed ford, October 9; Creston, October 11; Osce ola, October 14; Mount Ayr, October 16; Leon, October 18; Corydon, October 21; Hamburg, October 23; Clarinda, October 25, Sensational Shooting Affair, A senatlonal shooting affray ocurred in the state fair grounds at 8:30 o'clock this morning. Mrs. Maud Smith, who lives In East Des Moines, not far from the state fair grounds, entered the resturant at the Arcade hotel, which Is a boarding house within the state fair grounds, and, finding Harry Clark there, she asked him If he was the young maji who was out with her daughter, Alice, yesterday afternoon. He admitted that he was with the girl. Mrs. Smith thereupon, without another word. drew a revolver and shot the boy. The first bullet entered his chest and ha aank to the ground. She then fired two or three more shots at him as he lay on the ground, and then retreated. The daughter was with Mrs. Smith at the time and they both im mediately took a street car for their home, They were soon after arrested and Mrs Smith declared that young Clark had been the author of her daughter's ruin and she only regretted she did not kill him In stantly. Harry Clark was taken to a hos pital. His wounds are serious, but prob ably will not bs fatal. He stated that he had only a slight acquaintance with the girl. She and another girl had come to ths hotel the night before and desired to stsy all night, but were prevented from so do ing. He denies he was In ths lesst Intl mats with her. Other assert, however, that he was, and that the girl bore a repu tation for being very bad. Clark Is a crip pie and 17 years old, and Is well known In th' city as a bright boy of good habits. His parents own ths Arcade hotel. The etate ment of a police officer Is to the effect that l he found the girl, Alice Smith, at the hotel at a lata hour and took her away, and that she then declared that young Clark had been her ruin. Sensational Divorce Cas. A sensational suit for divorce was filed In the courts hers today In which the wife of M. B. Handley, a well known grocer and baker, sues him tor divorce and asks ali mony In the sum of $3,000. The sensational part of the accusation lies In ths fact that ahe alleges her husband has tried syste matically to kill her for ssveral yeara. lied Cross Litigation Closed. The litigation over the transfer of the membership of the Order of ths Red Cross to the Bankers Union of ths World has been settled by stipulation and the injunction as cured by the Vinton members of ths Red Cross society has been dissolved. Mrs. Lloyd Bound Over. Ths Justice of the peace today held Mrs. Harry Lloyd to the grand Jury on a charge of assault and battery agalnat the Thomp son child, t years old, which was found In her pouaesslon showing marks of great vio lence. Lloyd, who was arrested for as sault to do great bodily Injury, was dis charged. Parsons College May Be Moved, The board of trustees of Parsons college of Fairfield, which recently suffered great loss by the burning of Ankeny ball, ths main building of tbs college, have ap 1 pointed a committee to consider definite j proposals which may be made looking to . the removal of the college to some other - I city In Iowa, and also a committee to con 1 suit with residents of Fairfield In reference , to securing 1150,000 with which to rebuild - j the college building. This Is regarded as I tantamount to notice to ths Fairfield poo- pie that unless they raise the $150,000 the college will go elsewhere, as several cities are willing to bid high tor the relocation of the college. CHRISTEN CRUISER DES MOINES New Kaval Vessel Launched 1 nder Auspicious Circumstances at Qulnry, Mass. QCINCY, Msss., Sept. SO The cruiser Des Moines wss launched from the yards shortly after noon today. Hundreds of people saw the ship plunge into the water and for some time after their cheers echoed along the river banks. Miss Elsie Mscomber of Des Moines, with Governor Cummins of Iowa and Mayor Brenton of Des Moines standing by her side, smashed the traditional bottle of cham pagne against the steel prow of the cruiser, while Miss Clara N. Carleton of Haverhill. Mass., cut the ropes which held the last keel block and started the ship down the wsys. Des Moines is the largest vessel ever launched in the waters of Massachusetts bay, and it Is the first of the government hips under construction by the Fore River company. Although the weather was cloudy and at times threatening, the day was practically a holiday for Qulncy, while the attendance of a large company of dis tinguished guests. Including a delegation from, Iowa, many government officers, state and city dignitaries and foreign naval at taches, made the occasion a notable one. The launching party and other guests left Boston on a special train. Shortly after noon the party mounted the launching stage. right under the massive bow of the ship. The Iowa party Included, besides Miss Ma- comber, the following: Governor Cum mlns and Mrs. Cummins, State Treasurer Olibertson, State Auditor Merrlam and Mrs. Merrlam, Brigadier General M. H. Byers, Colonel Joseph R. Prime, Colonel John O. Loper, Colonel C. G. Saunders, Colonel J. B. Santee, Colonel Charles E. Mitchell, Colonel Walter M. Davis, Colonel Robert M. Bigelow and Major Joseph Bessom of the governor's staff; Governor's Secretary John Briar and wife. Miss Anna Cummins Mr. and Mrs. O. M. Curtis, Mr. and Mrs. Way, Major Brenton, D. O. Hanger and Patrick Brackett of the Des Moines city government, and otners. Owing to the illness of Governor Crane Massachusetts was represented by Lieuten ant Governor Bates and several of the gov ernor's staff. For an hour or two before the party reached the launching stage the workmen of the yard were engaged In knocking away many of the shores and braces, until at last one single block alone held the great ship At a given signal Miss Carleton cut the rope which held this piece of timber with hatchet made from the Iron and ma nogany used In the construction of the ship. Scarcely had the rope been cut when Miss Macomber dashed the bottle of cham pagne against the steel bow, with the words I christen thee Des Moines." The big vessel hesltsted but a few mo ments and then proudly started down the ways. The plunge Into the river was made gracefully and was hailed by a deafening roar of cbeers from those in hosts and on the shore. A number of tugs were ready to tow the vessel back to the pier. At the conclusion of ths launching lunch was served to the Invited guests. ues Moines represents what Its de signer, Admiral Hlchborn, regarded as the most useful of the medium slsed type of war ships. It was never intended that it should be a racer, nor yet that it should be a battleship In resisting qualities, but Des Moines was planned to combine a fair rate of speed, a moderste but still formi dable armament, good seagoing qualities and a coal endurance rather above the average, All these qualities have been gotten to gether in a vessel of 3.200 tons displace ment, 308 feet 9 Inches long, 44 feet beam and 15 feet 9 Inches draft and a speed of 16 H knots. Des Moines has ' a protective deck two Inches thick, and its sides are lined with cellulose to exclude water In case they are pierced by a shell. It has no other armor. It carries five 10-inch rapid fire guns, eight 6-pounders, two 1-pounders and four Colt automatic guns. The lndl cated horse power will aggregate 4,500, the englnea being triple expansion. Six water tube boilers will supply the necessary steam. The coal supply, 700 tons, will give this ship a radius of action at 10 knots of 7,000 knots without coaling thus It could steam from San Fran Cisco to Manila wtthout stopping for coal Des Moines Is designed for hard service, without fancy qualities. Some what special consideration has been given to its strength and the scantlings are un usually heavy. It has no ram and the use of wood Is confined to the minimum, only the main deck being planked. The ammunition supply will be unusually large, Including 250 rounds for each of the main 6-inch guns and 600 rounds for the 6-pounders, all smokeless powder.
