Coanty Records Are Lost.
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. Specialists have been sent for to
make Investigation, as the local doctors do
not understand ths cause of the trouble.

DOUBLE TRAGEDY IN WICHITA

liiis evening shot and killed his wife, shot
jt his mother-in-luw, Mrs. M. A. Turner,
then turned the rtvolver on himself and
I ' lew out his own brain.
His wife, who was killed Instantly, held a
I months' old child In her arms and the
weight of h r body fell on the child, ser
iously and perhaps fatally Injuring It. The
Huber was recently released from the
shooting wus the result of a family quarrel,

eighteen months because he put dynamite
on the Santa Fe railroad track north of this
city and attempted to wreck a train.
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."

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-

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

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.

BIG AUTO SHOW IN MARCH
Best Display Yet Held In Omaha Is
Planned by the Various
Dealers.
Omaha will have another big automobile
show In March. 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.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Council Eai a Warm Time Over Q
Street Faring: Contract.
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

ments were considered. The council ad

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
