The discovery has Just been made that a large part of the records of the county re corder of this county have disappeared and that over a thousand pages of record as to lund titles Is missing. The records have been moved about a good deal In connection with the building of a new court house and some books are missing, but It Is also found that a great many pages of record have been cut from the books, leaving other parts of the record Intact. There Is much mystery about the matter and the grand Jury Is Investigating. Whlls the records refer to property titles of great value It la believed that no great harm will come from the fact. Water Supply at Fault. After an extensive Investigation It lias been found at Iowa City that the sudden outbreak of serious illness last week In that city Is due to the bad condition of ths water. Investigation showed that the water taken directly from the Iowa river was filled with bacteria and that which went through the mains but which cams in directly from the river was fairly teeming with bacteria. No sewage contamina tion was found. Just why the water there has become so bad la not clear, but the outbreak If Illness was more serious than any ever before recorded. A strange epi demic is also reported from Corning where two persons have already died and others are ill.

CnAmXerlalnTa Coufth Remedy. This remedy is Intended especially for acute throat and lung diseases, of allien colds, croup and whooping oougn are the most common. Those who have used it for years and are in a position to know its real value, assert thai it is without an equal for ths treatment of these diseases. It not only cures colds snd la grippe, but counteracts anv tendency toward pneumonia. It has come into almost universal nse as a nreTsntireand cure for croup, and has never oetn known to fail. In cases of whooping cough It keeps the couuh loose, exprcUration eaey and renders ths parol juniuof coughing leas frequent and leu severe, depriving that disease of all dan gerous consequences. It is pleassut to take, which is of much importance when the medicine must be given to small children. Il contains no opium or other harmful substance, and may be given as confidently to a baby as to an adult. It is an ideal remedy both for adults and children, and we think the most perfect and iwost tflectual yet produced in any couulry. WOMAN WITH DYNAMITE Unsuccessful Attempt to Extort Money from Mrs. Phipps in Denver. CLEVER PLOT FINALLY FOILED Explosive "ticks Thrown at Detec tives, hat They Strike Cushion of AutomobileDeclines to Iteveal Identity. DENVER. Nov. 10-Aftcr haunting the residence of her Intended victim for two days and making every effort In every way Imaginable to get Into comunltatlon with htr, an unden.Ifled woman who threat ened Mrs. Genevieve Chandler Phipps, di vorced wife of Lawrence Phipps, the Fltts burg millionaire, with deith unless she was given 320,000 in money, was foiled In her design by the clever work of the bunk and city detectives. When she discovered she wus beaten the woman cast the dyna mite sticks Intended for Mrs. Phipps at the detective, but fortunately they fell sgalnst the upholstered wall of an enclosed auto mobile, which prevented them from explod ing. The woman was quickly placed ttntler arrest. She persistently refused to give her name, but Insists that she Is under the In fluence of a hypnotist snd that this ex plains her attempt to blackmail Mrs. Phipps. Plans Arc Methodical. The woman went about a carrying out her plans with a dtermlnatlon evidently born of desperation. Since Friday she had re peatedly telephoned the Philips home and called there In an effort to have an audi ence with the well known society leader. Finally Mrs. Phipps became alarmed and yesterday went automobll ng In City park to avoid the woman, who had made several calls at the house during the day. Tho woman evidently saw her leave In her ma. chine, for she attempted to attract the at tention of Mrs. Phipps as she was being driven along one of the park driveways. She was standing behind a tree at the tlmo Mrs. Phipps ordered her chauffeur to con tinue past the woman but she leaped from behind the tree Into the machine as It was going by. She quickly engaged Mrs. Phipps In onversation assuring her that her ap parent fears were entirely unnecessary, that she was a magazine writer and had no desire to do Injury to Mrs. Phipps. She talked so kindly that Mrs. Phipps became reassured and they rode together for fifteen or twenty miles. Suddenly the woman produced two sticks of dynamite and demanded -that Mrs. Phipps give her $"0,000 within an hour or she would be destroyed. She directed that the automobile be driven to the Wolcott school and that Mrs. Phlpps's daughter be taken alor.g this evidently for the purpose of having a hostage. Mrs. Phipps agreed to take her to the bank and get the money, whither the party headed, after stopping at the school to get the little daughter of Mrs. Phipps. Arriving at the bank, all but the strange woman left the machine. This evidently was not Intended In the program but she made no protest. Once Inside tho building Mrs. Phipps hurriedly related her experience to a bank official and police headquarters were communicated wlthi Two detectives hastened to the bank. In the meantime a special bank detective had detained the woman In conversation from the window ot the enclosed machine next the sidewalk. The two city detectives de tailed walked around the rear of the ma chine and slipped open the door on the street side. The woman saw that she was entrapped and dashed the dynamite at the two officers. They struck against the ma chine cushion and fell to the flocr Intact. NO CUE TO WOMAN'S IDENTITY She Tells Police She Has o Knowl edge of Her Crime. DENVER, Nov. lO.-No definite clue has yet been obtained by the police to the Identity of the woman who yesterday at tempted to extort 120,000 from Mrs. Gene vieve Chandler Phipps by threats, and, be ing foiled, attempted to ktll herself and Mrs. Phipps' young daughter, Helen, by hurling two sticks of dynamite from the automobile In which they were sitting In front of the Equitable building at the cor ner of Seventeenth and Stout streets in this city. The woman had registered at the Amer ican house laBt Friday as Mrs. H. K. Cones of Albany, N. Y., and to Mrs. Phipps rep resented herself to be a special writer for newspapera and at present collaborating with Joseph Medlll Patterson In preparing a book on socialism and society. Her description as noted at police head quarters is as follows: Age, 36, possibly 40; height, five feet three Inches; weight, 130 pounds; brown hair, streaked with gray; straight nose, perfect teeth; hands soft and nails well manicured; clothes black, ap parently from Fifth avenue, deep mourn ing, of fine material, but very plain; long black coat, black suit and waist, black hat. with feathers; heavy and long black veil, draped from hat over shoulders; In speech and manner a gentlewoman. Feigning Insanity most cleverly or else temporarily deranged by the use of mor phine and the result of 'illness, the'strange woman tossed uneasily on a cot In the matron's quarters of the city Jail last night. , To Chief Armstrong and all others who talked with her she told an Incoherent, rambling, unsatisfactory slory. "I don't know who I am; I don't know where 1 am from," 'sho moaned. "I came to Denver from somewhere In the east with Madame Leroy. She had a strange Influence over mc and said that she would help me. I met her on the train. I was once very 111 and nearly died of brain fever and became accustomed to the use of mor phine. "Madame Leroy made me Mrs. Cones by suggestion. She was going to cure me ot that terrible morphine habit. I know that she told me to d i things and that I started out to do them, but I don't remem ber what they were." The woman professed Ignoran.e of what she had djne that caused her arrest. She had been visited at her hotel by another I woman, who has not yet been located. I CHICAGO. Nov. 0.-Joseph Medlll Pat terson today denied the statement niadf by Mrs. II. K. Cones at ttnver that sliu was collaborating witii him in the prepara tion of a book. "1 never saw the woman," said Mi. i'uitc-rson. "and never heard of her until i read the newspapers this morn ing. 1 am not collaborating with her or anyone else i:i wr.ting anything." LECTURE ON PREHISTORIC MAN Iaterestlna; Itellrs RxhIMted by II. P. Ullder In Connection With A d dress. The bones, implements of warfare and Industry snd sumples of the handiwork cf the fli'dt settlers of Nebraska lrmod the basis of an Interesting lecture de livered at Unity church last nlfcht by H. F.

The church was well rilled and lbs twenty-eight or thirty different specimens of bone, stone, born and si ell j implements exiiiouea iy me icciurer in cited considerable Interest and su'j.iected the speaker to msny questions st the closi of his lecture. Mr. Ullder found hit relics ef preliltoi ! man whlls excavating what art cum- i nionly known as buffalo wallows near Child's Point, south of Omaha. Ue bad been delving Into the earth for the lat four years, but begsn operstions at Child's point last March. There he dis covered what he believes M once a large village, covering some 200 acres. The "houses" were from sixty to ninety feet in diameter and on the average of ten feet below the surface, the floors be ing five feet below this. The ruins are covered with eighteen or twenty-four Inches of vegetable mould, which Indi cates they are about 2.000 years old, as scientists claim that It takes 100 years to make one inch of vegetable mould. Mr. Gilder has sent six of the skeletons he has dug up to the United States Na- i tlonal museum of the 8mlthsonlsn Insti tution at Washington, and Dr. A. Herd llcka, a physical anthropologist, who has examined them. Is of the opinion that the people who Inhabited this country in the sges past were southern men and came originally from the gulf. Mr. Gilder Is authority for the state ment that these prehistoric ruins can be found along the west bank of the Mis souri from the mouth of the Platte to Bis marck, N D. SCHOOL DEBATERS PICKED Representatives of Omaha High Against Lincoln Chosen Mon day Afternoon. Many pupils attended the debate held Monday afternoon to choose those who will represent the Omaha High school against Lincoln December 11 In annual debate. The question argued Monday was, "Re solved. That congress should pass a law providing for guaranty of bank deposits." There were eight candidates, Mr. Ken ner, Fred Rypens and James Van Avery on the affirmative, and Fred Carlaon. Segard Larmon.. Ed Rosenberg, Paul Byers and Harry Drucker on the nega tive. Instructor G. W. Cherrlngton. who has charge of the debating work, opened the meeting and Introduced Mr. Dennison, who Is in charge at the Young Men's Christian association. The negative had the better of It, as the Judges, Principal E. V. Graff. Judge F. W. Slabaugh and 'Attorney C. W. Fos ter, decided upon Harry Drucker, Fred Carlson and Segard Larmon as the rep resentatives, with Ed Rosenberg as alternate. With a total score of 278 to 0 made in 275 minutes, the Omaha High school has tli us far this season made a record never before equalled by any school in this port ot the country and possibly never made by any other team. The game Friday with Lincoln marks an epoch In the athletic history of both schools, as it was the first time In eight years that Omaha has won a game on the Lincoln gridiron. When Coach Wilson of the Lincoln squad was coaching the high school of Hillsdale, Mich., and Cherrlngton was coaching for the high school of Adrian, their teams met under similar circum stances, with a victory of 6 to 0 for Hills dale. Victory has not hurt the Omaha boys, for they were out -Monday afternoon working as hard as ever. The work for the week will be to brace up the line and defense. While there Is no particular weakness, the coach feels that there Is a chance for Improvement. Deadly.

That was decided upon Monday afternoon at a meotlng of the auto mobile dealers of Omaha, when the opinion was unanimous that a show should be given. The date set Is March 1 to 6, Inclusive, and the place Is the Auditorium. Indications are there will be twice as many dealers exhibit as last year and this will require so much additional, space that the boxes will be removed from the Audi torium and also the stage, so that every Inch of available space may be used. An early start on the show has been made by the dealers that eastern manufacturers may know of the show far enough In ad vance, to prepare live exhibits of an Inter esting nature. A committee consisting of J. J. Deright, Clark Powell nnd Wlllard Hosford has been appointed to manage the show. DEEP CRACKS FROM ECZEMA Could Lay Slate-Pencil in One Hands in Dreadful State Dis ease Defied Remedies and Pre scriptions Suffered Seven Yeart. FOUND A PERMANENT CURE IN CUTICURA " I had eczema on my hands for about even years and during that time I had u.va several so-called remedies, together with physicians' and drug- 5ists' prescriptions. The isease was so bad on my hands that I could lay a slate-pencil in one of the cracks and a rule placed across the hand would not toucri tne pencil. 1 used , , Skin Lotion, Remedy and cithers externally but I did not use an7 internal remedy, and while some gave partial relief, none re lieved as much as did the first box of Cutioura Ointment. I mado a purchase of Cuticura Soap and Ointment and rnv hands were perfco'ly cured after two tidies of Cuticura Ointment and one cake of soap were ured. I now keep them on hand for sunburn, etc... and use Cuticura Soap for shaving. I oould wre a uTeat deal more in reference to rtv cure but do not want to take more of rour time. William H. Dean.

SEWZE QUESTION IS CONSIDERED Contractors Dolus; Nothing on Several Contracts and Legal Entangle ments Are Antici pated. The session of the city council last nlsht was heated In the extreme over the con sideration of a motion to rescind the ac tion of the former council lettlni? the pav ing of Q street from Twenty-fourth to Twentieth. This sctlon was taken Novem ber 12, 1907, and by It the contract was let to the National Construction company. Dan Hannon brought an Injunction In the district court against the city on the ground that the city had not let the con tract to the lowest bidder. This case Is still, pending, having been postponed from time to ttme. The object of the motion was to avoid this litigation If possible by rescinding the action and ordering the clerk to readvertise bids. The motion was Introduced by John Larsen. The democratic members called the motion precipitate action and wanted to wait for advice of counsel. The mayor assured them that he had examined into the legality of the action and had been advised by the city attorney. On this point the dispute rose, which resulted In hot words from the council and hotter words still from the mayor. The mayor went so far as to charge that certain members had been "fixed." No action was taken by the council, but the matter was deferred for a week. A large delegation from the Fifth ward, headed by Pat Broderick, asked for a re consideration of the proposition to open Thirty-ninth svenue across the Burlington tracks. The delegation complained that they had nothing In the way of Improve ments on the west side. They wsnt the street opened and hope to secure a via duct. The council voted the proposition down at a former meeting. All the mem bers of the council present made explana tions of their vote whether on one side or the other. The delegates of the Wtst side improvement club replied sharply in some Instances. They could see no reason why action should be delayed on sccount of other propositions with the Union Pacific or Rock Island railroads. They consid ered the Burlington proposition independ ent. Many women were present snd told of the difficulties of getting across the streets at this point. The council did not see fit to take action. The council ordered the city attorney to Investigate the present legality of the sewer contracts of the city. These contracts were let September t, 1906. st a time when the city had not sufficient funds to pay out In full. This left sn opening for an In junction which was sustained by the courts to the effect that the work could not pro ceed until the city had enough funds pro vided. Since -that time nothing has been done with the exception of ths Mud Creek sewer and the N street gulch sewer. The funds were provided during the present summer by U.e sale of additional bonds. The city sold only S30.000 out of sn author ised Issue of saO.OOD. It Is anticipated that some of the companies msy not wish to fulfill the contracts at the presint date. So the Investigation of ths sttorrey Is to see If any ground remains to compel the fulfillment. The I'nlon Stock Ysrds com pany advanced 125.000 to the city for the completion of tho Mud creek sewer end it Is said to have been the Intention If not the contracted agreement for the city to repay this money. The city seems to be Inclined 10 take the advance purely as a gift. No formal demand for this money has r mads, but It has been commonly rum Fwaituiire Co.

A good 9x11 Brussels Rug for ored that such might be made before the contract was completed. A large budget of routine affairs was put through. City obligations to the amount of M.9JS.02 were paid, the money applying on Interest and matured city bonds at the fiscal agency In New York. , The clerk was ordered to advertise bids for the grading of Sixteenth from H to I; and of Twenty-second street from B to V. The fourth partial estimate for the paving of Q street from Thirty-third to the city limits on the west was paid. It amounted to 18.503.8L Numerous reports and sidewalk Improve ments were considered. The council ad journed for one week. Money Enough In Sewer Fund. Considerable Interest is evidenced In tho delay which Is manifest In sewer construc tion. For some time the work on a number of the large sewers has ceased and the men who have been at work are now won derlng why they are Idle. A report was current that the work was being delayed on account of funds, but there Is no found ation for such report. The status of the several funds from which the expenses of construction Is paid Is as follows: Mud Creek sewer fund I13S.3S3.63 Jetter sewer fund 48.

It Is currently told by friends of H. B. Flehsrty that he Is to be a candidate for one of the positions on the supreme bench under the new amendment of the constitu tion relating to an Increased number of Judges of that court. The amendment apparently carried by a Inrge vote In the state. Four new Judges are to be appointed for t!i first term. Mr. Fleharty's friends put him forth as a candidate who already stands in high favor with Oovernor-Elect A. C. Shallenberger.
