and other vaIuabIes Are
Recovered.

George w. Fillman Of Akron, o., for many
years a we'll known travelling man In Omaha,
came to Council BLUFFS several days ago for
the purpose Of trying to obtain possession
Of his daughter, aged 10, and his son, aged
IL, who reside with their mother, Flllman's
divorced wife, in Omaha.
Negotia lions looking toward his taking
the children back with him to Ohio were
proceeding satisfactorily, at least 30 he
thought, when Fillman fell by the wayside.
Thursday at his former wlfe's home he met
q woman who gave the name OF Mrs. Ada
Hunter and claimed to be the wife Of a
barber. This woman ingratiated herself into
Fillman's good graces by pretending that
with the influence she had over Mrs. Fill
man she could easily secure the surrender
Of the two children. Fillman was so graft
bed over the prospects Of his mission to
Omaha being successful that he took Mrs.
Fillman and Mrs. Hunter out to have a
a number Of drinks.
Accompanied by the Hunter woman Fill
man returned to Council Bluffs on a late
car Thursday night and registered at the
Metropolitan hotel as George w. Adams and
wife. At the suggestion OF oficer Gala
CHAN, who noticed the couple, Fillman left
the greater part OF his money with the
clerk before going to his room.
A short while after 0flcer Hayes no.
ticed the woman waiting for a car at the
Northwestern tracks and suspecting some
thing wrong took her to the city jail. In
vestigation showed that she had robbed
Fillman Of his watch and chain. gold eye
glasses and whatever money he had.
When the officers went to Fillman's room
at the hotel they experienced much diff
Guilty in a~rousing him. and 1t is thought he
had at some time during the time in Omaha
been given knockout drops. He was taken
to police headquarters. and when the
woman was confronted with him she ad-
mitted taking the money and watch from
him and returned them. She was locked up
and yesterday morning was fined $1,000,
which she promptly paid. Fillman was al
lowed to return to his hotel.
Fillman was married In Council Bluffs by
Justice John Jay Frainey about sixteen
years ago. His wife shortly after the birth
Of their second child left him. She later
secured a divorce from him, he not defend

The actual damage to property Is OF course
nothing compared to the damage caused by
the suspension OF business. In the manu-
featuring district below Elm street there is
not a factory turning a wheel. Everything
is at a standstill. rendered so by the high
water. The packing plant is practically tied
up by the inability OF the Des Moines Union
to get it's cars to and from the plant. Super
intendent Wagner stated this morning that
the track leading to the packing house, the
lows Can factory and all the factories in
that locality are under water and 1t is i'm
possible to transact business with this state
OF affairs.
Even II the floods recede rapidly II will
be several days before business will reach
its normal state in the manufacturing dis
tricts. Most OF the machinery is water
soaked, necessitating repairs in almost every
department. 1t is understood several Of the
factories in the lowlands covered by water
last night contemplate indefinite shutdown
owing to the damage done to machinery,
etc. The manufactures not damaged by the
floods are unable to ship their goods out
owing to the water surrounding their build
ings and are therefore compelled to operate
and pile up the finished material until the
water subsidies.

SWINGING ROUND THE CIRCLE

The GAINESVILLE Argus has this to say
of two very well-known Blue Earth
county men:
MARCUS Williamson of Freedom,
was in this place Thursday transact
ing BUSINESS with Mr.. Hennessy and
others. Mr.. Williamson is one of the
neutrality-suspicious. of that county but
nevertheless he does not admire the
manner in which certain leaders man
ipulate things at the county seat. Un-
less candidate has the right kind Of
stand in he is turned down cold.
Mr.. Williamson feels about as does his
neighbor, Mr.. Severson. The only
remedy is to reform the machine. But
this can never be done by staying out.
AS the late lamented Governor Flower
! said about trusts instead of kicking
against them the only sensible method
is to get inside and enjoy the benefits
they confer. So instead of kicking
MIR. Williamson should get inside the
ring. With two or three others like
himself he would then do some kick
ing that would amount to something
kick the old ring out and constitute
himself and friends new one. That s
the only way to deal with the ma
chine. Nothing can be gained by
standing outside while designing poll
ticians capture everything.
Hon. Nels Nyauist was over from
LIE Ray with load of very large
porkers. fine hogs of che Jersey"
breed he tells us. What is peculiar
i with the breed is the color, pure
bred. Mr.. Nyquist expresses conf
dence in his election this fall. There
is more or less apathy in politics in
his county but he thinks things will
liven up before election and that a fair
vote will be out. With this term of
service Mr.. Nyquist will undoubtedly
Medo. for whom he entertains the
highest respect and regard. In fact
it is generally conceded that the NOM
ination two years hence will go..to Mr..
Severson. And after Mr.. Severson will
come Marcus Williamson To be even
with Mr.. Nyquist each should be
given eight years This is putting a
long distance ahead so far as William
son is concerned. But az he is still
young in bodily vigor and ambition
and good for forty or fifty years there
is plenty of time. -Janesville Argus.

HIS IDEAS ARE FALSE.

Jones of Rock, the young man who
aided the Democratic meeting at the
Manakto Theatre Saturday night, at
tempted to set afoat the idea that this
country had reached such a stage in
its development that there are now no
opportunities open for young men. Mr..
Jones is himself living example of
the falsity of his statement. Mr..
Jones is recent graduate of the Min
nesota State University; he Is a
bright-minded gentleman and is
destined to make his way in the
world, provided he will switch his
politics and become a member of 8
party that believes in the advance
ment OF young men; party that has
made it possible for young men to be-
come somebody in this world. This is
an age of young men and if Mr.. Jones
will take lcok over the long list of
men who are now occupying positions
not only of high honor, but of trust
and confidence, he will find they are
yet in the morning of their lives and
commanding salaries such as were
never paid years ago.
Never before have young men with
ability and capacity for work been
in such demand as now. 1t will con-
tinue to be so. There is always an
opening for the young man who dem
onstrates his ability to accomplish re-
suits. 1t is not necessary that young
man engage in business for himself
in order to become famous or to
achieve furtune.
Young men should not allow their
ambitions to be curbed by such
speeches as that delivered by Jones of
Rock.
