Young Woman Who Drifts.

A young woman giving her name as Mrs,
Ellen Fickley and her home as Florida
drifted into the police station yesterday
morning and asked for lodging. She said
her husband died about two months ago
leaving her with a 2-year-old baby boy, and
that she had been west to try to get EN-
ployment. At Denver her child had been
taken sick and she had been obliged to
leave 1t there with some people who prom
ised to care for it. From Denver she went
TO New York and about three days ago
drifted back to Omaha. She had been UNI
able TO secure any work and had been
obliged to pawn all her clothing and what
little jewelry she possessed in order to OBJ
tain food and lodging. She Was entirely
penniless and wished the authorities would
send her to somo country tow where she
thought she might obtain work as a domes,
tic. From her actions the police became
OF the opinion that she was mentally de-
ranged and she was taken before the COM
missioners for the insane. DR.. Thomas OF

ing that section 1886 is amended by striking
out the word three in the third line and
inserting the word five" in lieu thereof
Today the auditor of state examined the

not appear in the third line of the section
and that it is in reality in the second line
and he sent the state veterinary the follow
ing notice: TT word three does not
| appear in the third line of section 2536, but
appears in the second line, and therefore
the act of the legislature does not amend

OHIO BOY IS VICTIMIzED
John Wisecup Has a Costly Adventure with
Some Local sharpers,
PAYS PART DOWN ON A UNIFORM
Youngster Looking for Experience
Gets IL from an OutHt of Real
shrcwd Confidence Men, but
Declines to Squenl.

John Wisecup, a young man who up to a
few months ago had spent the entire eigh-
teen years of his life on the family farm
at Belle Center, o., paid Council Bluffs a
visit yesterday and fell into the hands OF
sharpers. From one gang he managed to
escape without being robbed but he barely
got loose from them before he was picked
UP as a bright and shining mark by a con-
idence man was was looking for a young
man to fill a railroad job and who with
very little difficulty induced Wisecup to
part with s12 as part deposit for a bran
new uniform with brass buttons. 1t was
the same old game but new TO the young
man from Ohio who, after reporting the
matter to the police, took the lesson phil
osophically and admitted it was worth the
twelve dollars to gain the experience.
A man giving the name of o. Bryan was
arrested last night and identified by Wise
cup as being the party who steered him to
| the room where a futile attempt was made
to get him into a skin poker game. AS
Wisecup escaped without losing any of his
wealth the only charge that could be placed
against Bryan was one of vagrancy. Bryan
is said to be a tinhorn gambler from South
Omaha.

Snurpinn Boats Idle.

SIOUX CITY, July 15.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-The government snagging boats
will be idle all summer and little If any
work will be done on the Missouri river.
The James B. Mcpherson and the Mandan,
two of the best snagging boats in the gov
eminent service, will remain in the Sioux
river all summer. The lack of funds in that
department is the cause of the inactivity,
The prolongation of the strike among tine
packing houses in South Omaha will be
beneficial to Sioux City. 1t is already telt
here and all departments in the local Cud-
ANY plant are being worked to their utmost
capacity to keep up with the orders. II II
becomes necessary for the Sioux City house
to fill Omaha orders 1t will be worked day
and night as long as necessary. 1t is ru-
mored that a number OF truckers will quit
in a body on Saturday night and leave for
the harvest field in South Dakota. The
| management says this will not interfere
with business as their places can be quickly
filled and it is not thought the Omaha
trouble will spread to Sioux City.

INJURY TO STATE FAIR GROUNDS.
Repairs Being Made After the De-
pnrturc of the Soldiers.

Nv y hNhNk j" fthNNN ~ DN-
pnrturc Of the Soldiers.
DIES MONIES, July 15.-(Special 1.-THE
work of repairing the damage done by the
Iowa soldiers to the buildings and grounds
of the Iowa State Agricultural society Is be-
ing pushed. At first 1t was thought by the
military authorities that 5000 would be a big
estimate on the cost OF making all the re-
pairs needed to bring the state fair grounds
up to the condition they were In before the
troops were quartered there, This hope dis
appeared long ago. One whole carload of
lumber has been used and nearly another,
In making repairs. A force OF carpenters
under Major Martin of Fort Dodge, engineer
and signal officer, has been at work for three
weeks on the grounds putting things in
shape, and it will take at least another week.
The boys simply had to have kindling, and
as 1t was not furnished as plentifully as
they thought 1t should be they took the first
board that was within their reach. Parti-
lions. fences. sheds, pens and all kinds
of things made of wood were cut up into
kindling. A great many things stored in
buildings are said to have disap-
peared, and numerous extravagant
claims have been sent in by
private parties. AS they were receiving
free storage from the society they will not
be paid for their losses II they sustained
any; they simply took their chances when
they left their stuff there. The exposition
building was full of merchandise and a
great variety of articles, and it was under
stood that 1t was not to be used. The
officers of the society claim that General
Lincoln promised that it should not be
invaded by the troops. They were
astonished one day to find a lot Of soldiers
in possession. The commanding officer told
the Agricultural society men that he had
been instructed by General Lincoln to take
possession and that if the superintendent o.
the grounds. Mr.. Demer, refused to give
him the key he was to break in anyway
The officers Of the society think this was
fair sample of the control General Lincolt
had over the soldiers; that he let them d,
as they pleased. The grounds are being pu
in shape in every way. The bitches mad,
by the soldiers are being filled up ant
everything else made right.

poTTAwATTAMIE COUNTY EXHIBIT,
E%xposition Association Executive
Committee VIII Boom 1t.

Exposition Association Executive
Committee Will Boom 1t.
The meeting of the executive committee
OF the Council Bluffs Exposition association
last night was well attended and much in
terest taken in the proceedings. The chief
business before the meeting was that OF
devising ways and means to provide a suit
able exhibit representative of Pottawat-
TAME county in the wigwam and to raise
funds to meet the current expenses of main
tanning the wigwam until the close of the
exposition.
President Graham reported that between
1900 and 5000 people visited the build
ing daily and that some steps ought to be
taken at once to properly furnish the rooms
and establish an exhibit. He stated that for
several days past there had been a very
creditable display of small fruits on the Sec
ond floor but that the display ought to
be renewed several days a week. He was
authorized to employ a man to solicit fruit
| and grain from the growers throughout the
county for the exhibit.
Up to the present Mr.. Graham has been
in sole charge of the wigwam and the work
has become too much for one man, so it
was decided at the meeting to appoint a
committee consisting of President Graham,
Colonel w. f. Baker and j. P. Hess to
| take charge OF the WlSWdm anu the eSllDll-
Colonel Baker was requested to take steps
to arouse interest throughout the different
townships in the county in the matter OF
making exhibits, and the MEMBERS Of the
executive committee are in the meantime
to solicit exhibits and articles of furniture,
pictures and other articles from the people
of the city.
The all important matter of funds was
taken and discussed and G.. F. Wright and
Lucius Wells were added to the finance
committee to help raise the amount neces-
sary to keep the buildings open for the
balance Of the exposition.
President Graham reported that Bradley
& Co., who have a big exhibit on the
ground floor of the wigwam, would be will.
ing to take the entire remainder OF the
ground floor space provided the committee
would lease 1t to them. Messrs. Graham
Baker, Hess and Moore were appointed q
committee to take this matter in charge
and act as they best thought fit.
President Graham was authorized to EN-.
ploy a man who would act as %janitor anC
take care of the exhibit during the daytime
and act as Waterman at night.
The committee decided that space for al
exhibits except on the ground floor would
be provided free, and that parties havinl
articles they wish to exhibit or f%urnitur,
they wish to loan for the wigwam can leav,
them at the county court house where the!
will be taken care of by Colonel Baker
who will arrange for sending item to tn,
wigwam.
The committee will meet again mex
