yesterday nnd word wab received hero that
a solid and Instructed delegation for Judgo

.been selected. This Is tho first county to
welect its delegates to the congressional coa
vcntlon, which has not yet been called by
tho congressional committee, of wh.ch James
Dcwcll ot Missouri Valley Is chairman.
Outhrle and Adair counties will hold the'.r vcntlon will be called to order at 10 o'clock

Tho congressional convention will bo tnadu

Judgo Smith will havo Pottawattamie,
Audubon, Harrison, Mills and Montgomery
counties, which will give horn seventy-four

Leading republicans of tho district favor
tho convention being held In this city, as
not only Is It tho mcst accessible, but It Is
tho only city In tho district which has a
hall adequate for tho purposes- of such a

cil Bluffs Is that It Is the only city In tho
district which has sufficient hotol accommo-
datlon.

STATE BOARD OF HEALTH TO TAKE ACTION
Ilri'Mnii of District Court nt lira
.Moines 'I'nUfii Aivny Much of Hope
SiiIooiin Hint of Opening lu
enr Futnrc.
DES MOINES. April 25. (Special Tele
gram.) It Is not unlikely that the State
Board of Health will take some action In
the recent neglect of smallpox quarantine
at Fraser, la. Dr. Kennedy, secretary of
the board, said this morning that the next
regular meeting of tho board would be held
May 15 and that undoubtedly the alleged
neglect of tho health authorities at Fraser,
about which there have been so many re
ports, would como up nt that time.
The board has authority under the statute
to supervise all measures taken to protect
the Uvea and health of tho people, and
whero necessary precautions aro not taken
to step In nnd tako action Itself. Either
tho board or prlvato citizens could apply
for a writ of mandamus compelling proper
precautions to bo taken. In the case of
Fraser tho first stop will bo to appoint a
committee- to investlgnto and ascertain how
true the reports of neglect havo been,
Dr. Kennedy has direct Information from
reliable sources that a number of Infected
towjis In the stato havo traced tho origin
of The contagion to Fraser. In fact, sev
eral of tho cases In Deo Moines nre trace
able to exposure there. Among other towns
which havo complained aro Fort Dodge,
Marshalltown, Mapleton, Lehigh, Boonesboro
nnd the Snylor mines. Dr. II. C. Enchbach
of Albla stated to tho Board ot Health
that John P. Reese, president of tho miner's
union, was undur quarantine and declared
that ho was exposed to tho dlscaso at
Fraser. It Is t. known definitely how
many cases thero aro at Frafer.
Three new cases from threo now localities
have Just been reported to the board, ono
nt Mount Zton, Van Buren county, one at
Leon, Decatur county, and ono at Bur
lington. Snloons Itentnln Closed.
Tho saloons of Des Moines cannot open
until Juno 3 at tho earliest unless the de
cision on tho writ of certiorari in favorable.
This much was decided by the district court
today. The hearing on tho writ will be
heard, to morrow, but the decision this
afternoon tnkes away much of the hope of
tho saloon people.
II. O. Weaver of Wapello, chairman of tho
republican state central committee, arrived

of Ilrule Tribe Confer frith
(io viTiimen t Officials.
SIOUX CITY, April 25. (Special.) Some
thing entirely new to the Indian department
ot the United States government has Just
transpired at the Lower Brule agency near
Chamberlain, S. D. The chlafs ot tho Brule
Indians, a band of Sioux, snt word to
Major James McLaughlin, chief Inspector of
tho United States Indian bureau, that they
wonted to havo a conforenoe with him. Ho
at once responded, and as a result ho has
Just forwarded to Washington a remarkable
document. Ho has placed his official rooom-
ninndatlnn nnnn tha ntlMnn tf tha mnmlurt
...... . -. -.
of the tribo to permit thetm to engage In the
cattle raising business on a large scale.
Not only la tho petition remarkable In lt-
elf, but the conference between the men In
Itself Is something entlroly out of tie ordi
nary. The tribe was represented by White
Feathor, Big Man, Bull Head, Black Elk,
Flro Thunder and Swift Hawk. The major
Is known asi Wa-bde-za Wl-Cas-to, or the
man who travels about looking Into things.
The Indians sat In tho agency houee. Thero
were no feathers, pipes of peace or other
Indian traditional doings. They wero there
for business. Thoy called attention to tho
fact that Juno 30 of this year the thirty-year
treaty with tho government, under the terms
of whloJi If they kept peace with tho whit
man they were to have a clothing annuity,
comes to an end. They made a proposition
to tho government which is that they be
allowed to sell two of their best sections
of land; that tho money derive from tho
salo bo put Into young cattle, and that not
ono cent be given to any member of the
tribo In uhy other way.
They estlmato that with tho sale of the3
two sections of land they can buy 2,000 head
of young heifers and eighty graded bulls.
The Idea Is to provide a lovemment brand
for tho stock. About 200 families are on
the agency, nnd tho animals would be
divided up among them. If a man had only
himself and hla wife ho would not get as
many beasts as tho fellow with several son..
It would be pro rated out In proportion to
tho ability of men to oare for tho animals.
Thoy aUo inquired closely as to arrange
ments for shipping cattlo to market, tho
prices to bo secured and tho ration the gov
ernment would allow per capita,
Tho Indiana hope tho question can go be
fore eongrcss at once, as they are anxious
to begin tho work of fencing in their entire
reservation. They propose to keep a system
of bookkeeping, giving each family a num
ber and branding this number upon the
stock so owned. If the Indian authorities
agree to the arrangement tho deal will be
closed up as early as possible.

that tho railroads want tho classification

by tho manufacturers and shipper.. The
Iowa board members Indicate they will take
no final action until after full bearings lu

SOUTH OMAHA NEWS, j
rjnltn 11 nmnhfr nt nnilliinia fnr ihn rml '
yuito a number ot petitions lor tno i.rau- ,
Ing of streets In various portions of tho city cufoe of A. L. Hergqulst Friday night,
are In circulation and It is estimated that There Is a scarcity of chnirs In U10 conn
there will be ns much If not more grading ell chamber Over half of those who nt-
done this jear as there, was la.t summer.
Several petitions nro now before the city
council awaiting action by that bod. Owlt.g
to the slack manner of doing business In tho
tifcRt the eltv has nt vnrlnus tim lin I
past tno cit has at nrious times beon
called Upon to pay tho coat of grjdlng In
Govern) districts, under the present ndmln- 1
Istrntlon the utmost care will bo taken In
tho drafting of ordinances for tho creiitlon
ot grading districts In order that the burden
tray not be eaddled upon the city.
In connection with street Improvements
Mayor Kelly said yesterday: "In the pa?t
we have) dono a vast amount of grading,
paving nnd sower building, nnd thcro Is lit
tle doubt but that this work will bet con
tinued. That much of It has been dene enrc
lecsly nnd negligently, to eay tho Icust, hf-
tory of recent successful litigation answers
the question. The property specially bene
fited should, In my opinion, bear tho burden
of such Improvement and the law so pro
vides. Had the law In this particular been
obeerved In tho past, tho present general
Indebtedness! of the city would be many
thousand dollars lesa. This condition mny
havo reuultol from a want of knowledge of
tho law or from bad motives, but, bo that
as It may, tho city can no longer stand
further experience of tho kind nt such fear
ful prices,
"I will recommend that no paving, grad
ing, building of sewers, otc, be dono and
that no special assessments thereforo bo
mado until wo aro definitely nnd fully as
sured that every condition Imposed by law
la In nil respects compiled with In the man
ner required. Wo cannot nfford to take any
chances. If the law Is strictly followed,
and I propose to see that It shall bo, thcro
will bo no more mistakes of tho kind nnd
no morn law suits In which the legality
of special atscssment ordinances aro ques
tioned."
Tho cnrclessneBs In preparing ordlnnnces
for tho paving of Twenty-fourth street will
cost tho city at largo about $70,000, and only
a day or two ago tho courts declared the
special ' lx for tho grading of Twenty-sec
ond street from L to N illegal. This de
cision -will add to tho burden ot general
taxation nnd goes to show that tho utmoU
care Is needed In preparing ordlnancw levy
ing such taxes.

South Omaha property owners aro win
ning frequent victories In tho courtu with

tion that the city eouncll ordered tho work

city U perpetually enjoined from collecting
tho taxes Involved.
Another case decided Wednesday was the
action of Sophia Carlson and others against
thn city of South Omaha, tho proposition
belne the same as that of the Tombrlck
case, cxeept that the streets Involved nro
Twenty-second, from M to N, and Twenty
third, from L to N, and M, from Twenty
fourth to Twenty-second. This decision was
