"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.

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.

Trustees of Parsons College Ask

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

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.

In the courts hers today In which the wife
of M. B. Handley, a well known grocer and

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

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

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.

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. Dis
tilling plants and Ice machines fit the ves
sel for tropical service and it has six
electric ammunition hoists and winches and
blowers and every one of the latest de
vices that a vessel of this slxe can carry.
Four hundred and fifty men can be ac
commodated on Des Moines, although its
regular crew Is 263 men, so that It can be
used to advantage to carry relief crews to
foreign stations or for similar service.
