The struggle of Iowa soil to produce a
bumper crop of all kinds of stuff this sea
on as a protest aKinnst the drouth Is ex

growing directly on top of another, and
both appear to be struggling to become the
biggest individual In the whole patch.
Delegations of the delegates to the Haeng

havlng about 50
copper In the colls, have been
stolen from the car barn, according to In
formation sent to the police department.
The fields are of the same put tern as
those used on all the big street cars. How
they could have been stolen and taken
away without detection Is a mystery, as
several men would be required to load them
on a wagon strong enough to carry them.
Attorney George 8. Wright has returned
from the west after an absence ot three
weeks. With several other Council Bluffs
men he went to iieno to see the fight, and
the knowledge or the fact that he was an
enthusiastic admirer of Jeffries' led the
suspicion that he whs walking home. The
tUHplclon was groundless, however, for Mr
Wright left Keno the evening of the
fight and went to the coast, afterwards
making an extensive tour throughout the
northwest.
The Initial steps have been taken to Or
ganize a strong local branch, of the Na
tional SaengeroUnd society. Phillip An
dreas, puuusner ot the t rie presse. and
W. H. liarghhuusen, county recorder, are
the prime movers. The society now has
about fifty members, and the assertion la
made that Its membership will reach 100 be
fore tho end of the year. A meeting will
be held next week to elect officers. The
new society will meet regularly in Hertles'
hall on Broadway near First street
Incenses to kill the pigeons that haunt the

yesterday one lost two feathers and wu
given quite a fright when Deputy Ward
neakcl down to the alley fence and took
a shot at It as .It sat preening Its feather
above one of the vaulted windows.
Mrs. Anna Haph began a divorce action
In the district court yesterday against her
husband, Daniel W. Haph. Her only
allegation Is desertion. They were wed In
Council Bluffs or July 8. 1898, and after
liviug together nine years she says her
htialmnd deserted her without cause, A
child, Alta, now nearly 10 years old, was
the fruit of the union.. A. year ago Mrs.
Haph says, her husband returned from
Cheyenne and. secured possession of his
daughter by stealth and took her to the
Wyoming town. The child was' subsequently
t put aboard a train sent to Council Bluffs.
V Mrs. Kuph asks only the custody of this
child and absolute divorce from the father.
HELPED SAM SUITOR. LOSE
Man Wh Broagbt Almost First
tlrtliu of Gang to t'onaell Staffs,
Where II . Dropped Five
Thousand Dollars.
The crop of Mabray workers and "steer
era" continues to be harvested. Barney
Martin, member of the gang who led Ham
ucl Kutor from Cass Lake, Minn., and as
sisted In separating him from $5,000 of
good, honest money on a fake horse race,
was arrested at Florence. Kaa., yesterday
by Postofflce Inspector C. 8. Ranger, ac
cording to telegraphic advloea received
here.
Barney's name was among tho eighty
old returned upon indictments by the fed
eral grand Jury last year, and the post
office and federal court offlcera have been
following him ail over the United 8tat:s,
lie will he brought to Council Bluffs for
trial and unless he makes the vain fight
that otheYs have trlfd, will be within thi
Pottawattamie county Jurisdiction In I
few days.
Postofflce Inspector Swensen, the Neme
sis of Maybraltes, has been particularly
desirous to get Martin, for he was tho
steerer who brought almost the first vic
tim to Council Bluffs to be robbed. The
tlhtory of the case shows that he went to
Cats Lake several months before tho game
was pulled off, and got deeply Into Rjlltor's
confidence. Suiter Is a hotel proprietor an.1
banker and very "shrettd, but Barney was
shrewder. The story of the "Pittsburg
millionaires" and the easy money thoy
were aching to part with was developed
so cunningly that Suitor was positively
convinced. He remained convinced until
niLrly a week after the fraud, then he
went after Martin, but failed to find him,
although he came near catching him at
Little Rock, Ark. Suitor has never rested
and neither have the federal authorities.
Suitor began a suit against local men for
the recovery of his money, but It has not
been piessed. ,

advancing the work of preparing for the
Joint exposition to be held In connection
wrth the third annual exposition of tne
congress in November. While a large part
of the discussion related to financial mat-
ters connected with the promotion ot the
two big enterprises, considerable time was
given to the reports of tha various depart
ment heads. S
Qn of the most Interesting reports was
tha of Superintendent Freeman Reed
shewing the remarkable number ot re
sponses that had been received from all
parts of the surrounding country In rela
tion to the prize motto for the corn aho
Several weeks ago the "executive commit- I
tee of the Missouri Valley Corn Growers
association decided to offer a handsome
prise to the person who supplies tha best
motto, and Herman Lefferts donated a dia
mond ring for the purpose. A great stack
of letters was submitted by Superintendent
Reed with mottoes to be entered In the con
test. They cam from all over eastern
Nebraska, western Iowa. South Dakota, and
Illinois. The mottoes will be turned over to
a commute and the winner selected. It
will be used on all the stationery and ad
vertising matter.
Early In tha evening a resolution con

Heat Reveals
Great Power
Allowed to Act on Car Line Sails, it
Expands Steel to Crushing -"
Point.
The force of expanding metal was well
Illustrated, yesterday when a number of
workers were cutting a forty-foot section
from a sixty-two foot car track rail on
Broadway. They had worked for eevaraJ
hours sawing through tha point where the
new rail waa to be attached, and had that
part of the Job almost accomplished when
the foreman ordered the pavement removed
the full length ot tho rail, exposing the
entire surface to the rays ot the aun.
It required only a few minutes for the
heat to expand the rail until It pinched the
saw and stopped operations.
- The steel continued to expand until the
rail was bowed upward In the center sev
eral Inches, pulling the spikes and lifting
the ties where the spikes held fast, and
finally swerving the rati outward and
throwing the track out ot alignment, abut
ting off trafflo on that track for some
hours.
It was necessary to cut the-. remaining
portion of the rail with chisels, which
proved a long and difficult Job. A mathe
matician attempted to compute the pres
sure on the ends of the rail where the
cut had been made, but became discouraged
when he reached 300,000 pounds to the
square inch. The ends of the metal were
crushed under the enormous strain.

PROBATION OFFICER LOOKS
INTO ALLEGED LIQUOR SALE
Finds rouplslats Originated Over
Bales Taking Place la "No
) Man's Land,"
Assistant Probation Office Carver, act
Ing under orders from Judges Estelle and
Sutton of tha Omaha Juvenile court, has
been In Council Bluffs examining the
sources of complaints that young gtrls
rovragement ot unprincipled escorts who
huve taken them to Courtland Beach, and
that numbers have been frequently seen
returning from the beach in a more or less
intoxicated Cuudltlor,.
Chief of Police Froom co-operated with
Officer Carver In the Investigation at East
Otraha. The facts were disclosed that the
complaints originated from liquor sold on
what was formerly known as "No Man's
Land." a Btrlp lying on the east side ot
r( Coui'ilaiid ach, and not under Iowa
, Jurisdiction. A saloon is located there pro
vided with a license Issued from Douglas
- county, and another drinking resort was
founc', also outside of the pale ot Jowa
law, which waa said to have a license as
an incorporated "People's club," and It la
kalj tl'.at Intoxicants arc sold regardless ot
Ion a or Nebraska statutes. The chief
source of illegal liquor sales, however, ap
pears to be from bootleggers, who use a
boat on the lake and dispense the stuff
under cover of darkness at any convenient
point, either at obscure places along the
shore or on the open water. There Is now
only one Iowa saloon on the Island and It
waa ascertained that Its owner was fully
complying with the stato's lluuor laws.
ANOTHER LITTLE SMASHUP
COMES TO JOY AUTOMOBILE
machinist Gne Frasehe, After Repair
lag; Stranded Anto, Rani It Into
Haral Mall Wagon.
An Omaha automobile, the property of
the Velle Auto company, 1902 Far nam
street, Omaha, which was abandoned by
Joy riders several miles from Mondamln,
la., some days ago, has not yet run out of
Its streak of bad luck. The machine was
pretty badly wrecked when abandoned In
Monona county, Iowa, and It required the
attention of an expert machinist sent from
Omaha to get It into condition to make the
return trip.
The machinist waa Gus Fensche, and he
worked two days before he got the auto
Into shape for the trip homeward Wednes
day afternoon. He got along very nicely
until within five miles tsf Council Bluffs,
then he crashed Into the rear end of the
United States mall wagon driven by Rural
Mall Carrier W. II. James of Council
Bluffs. ,
The accident was due to no carelessness
whatever. James was returning to town
and was passing a wagon driven by
farmer and had partially left the roadway,
Fensche was approaching from the rear
and did not see the other wagon. When
he attempted to pass the mall cart James
swung his horse further outward and the
auto smashed into the rear end of the mall
wagon. The top was torn off and the
wagon partly wrecked. Fensche helped to
get the mall to town and did all he could
to repair the effects Of the accident The
auto waa not hurt.
