Metnliem Are Intertilled.
At yesterday's meeting of the county com
missioners Mr. Ostrom attempted to put a
stop lo the practice of suspending the
rules and allowing bills without bavins
them Referred to the finance committee nud
checked up.
Mr. Hoctor handed up a big bunch of bills
and moved to impend tho rules.
"I csk for a roll call on tho motion,"
said Mr. Ostrom.
Tho roll was culled, Hoctor, Hofcldt and
Connolly voting In tho afflrtnatlvc and Harte
and Ostrom In tho negative.
"Tho chair rules that a majority vote Is
all that Is necessary to suspend the rules
mid the motion Is therefore carried," an
nounced Chairman Connolly.
Then Mr. Hoctor read off a lot of bills
Hnd moved that they be placed on tho
Appropriation sheet and ordered paid by
vtnrrnnts against tho proper funds.
When '.he nnme of Mr. Ostrom was
reached on tho rrtll call on the motion to
tillnw the bills that member said:
"I don't know anything about somo of
theso bills; they may be all right. What I
obJeH to Is the allowance of blllB which
havo not been referred to tho finance com
mittee end properly investigated. At our
last meeting wo allowed two bills which
lind not been sworn to as required by law
1 think this promiscuous passing of bills
ought to be stopped."
Hoctor In Xetlleil.
Mr. Hoctor was annoyed. Ho withdrew his
motion to nllow nil tho bills hu had pre
sented, and after taking out threo bills In
which ho thought the republican members
. were Interested, moved that the remainder
1)0 allowed. His motion prevailed, Ilarto
and Ostrom voting In tho negative.
The three bills taken out of the batch by
Mr. Hoctor and left unpaid Include one for
sewer wqrk In Union precinct nmountlng to
J352.32, one In favor of Clara Harto for
work In tho register of deeds' office amount
ing to JGO and County Clerk Havcrly's post
ago bill amounting to $35.80.
After the meeting Mr. Ostrom said ho
had no special Interest In any of tho bills
presented and his only object In voting
ngalnst them was to disapprove of the
practlco of allowing bills beforo they had
been properly examined by tho committee
In regard to tho bill for sewer work In
Valley precinct, which Mr. Hoctor had let
fall by the wayside, ho said It was for
work ordered by himself and Mr. Horeiat
but he hnd no special Interest In It.
The two bills which passed through nt
lho mooting of July 17 without having been
.iworii to. as required by law wero for
vork done by day labor. One was for
sower work In Clonlnrf precinct, amounting
to $212.40, and tho other was for carpenter

HOME FROM THE PHILIPPINES
Cnptnln If. X. Hoyden, Xeir ne.ernltlnir

Cftplaln H. N. Hoyden of tho Twonty
tilxth Infantry, who will relieve Lloutenan
llerry as recruiting officer under Colonel
Spurr.ln at tho Omaha omce, arrived In
Omuhn yesterday from San. Francisco.
While In tho Philippines Captain Hoyden
waB under General Hates, who had com1
mand of tho islnndn Inhabited by tho Moros,
nud for a tlmo wns provost marshal of tho
Island of Jolo, one of tho most Important of
the Sulu group and one which the Spanish
vi'ero unable to conquer In all of the time
they held nominal possession of tho Philip
pine Islands. Captain Hoyden spenkB of the
Jloios as a vary friendly race, but ono fixed
In Its Ideas of civilization and religion.
They arc without exception bigoted Mo
hnmmrdnns, who have little uso for those
of any other form of religion, and for this
muson as much as nny other they have re
hlstcd tho efforts i t colonization by the
Hpanlards, who attempted to force ChrU-tlnnlty-ajpon
the Islanders as well as Euro
liean civilization. With the coming of tho
United States army they generally laid
tlown their arms nnd welcomed tho Ameri
cans ns deliverers, having nothing In com
mon with tho Tngalos who Incited the In
surrection headed by Agulnaldo. Since tho
United States took chargo of the Island of
Jolo tho nntlvcs for the first time In 200
years disbanded their armies and laid down
their arms. Speaking of affairs on the
island Captain Hoyden said:
"Thn conditions In Jolo are those of
peaco. Tho fortified town of Jolo Is the
center of tho mother-of-pearl Industry of
the world and will Increase Its output now
that practical peace has come, to tho Inhah
ltaut, who were never at pcaca with Spain
That country held the town of Jolo, but
with tho exception of tho ground enclosed
within Its walls tho Moros Wero supremo In
tho Islnnd. Bo difficult was It for Spain to
My crippled."
nlionmntlnm at its worst is n sort of
living death. Tt chains a man to n chair
or binds hint to a bed, nnd metes out to
hint n daily martyrdom. At the best
rneumaiism ! a
painful malady, In
terfering alike with
pleasure and busi
ness.
To cure rheurra-
tism it is necessiity
to eliminate from
the blood the acid
poisons which are
the cause of the dis
ease, This is effect
ually done by the
use of Dr. Pierce's

finally gave un tho attempt to collect lm-
ort duties anil made Jolo a free port for
all nations. This action was forced upen
hem In a measure by the commanders of
merchant vtescls of other nations who
would anchor their ship Ave miles from the
port of Jolo And tho natives would put off
from land in bonta and trade with the ves
sels. This took from the Inhabitants of the
city all participation In the profits of the
transaction, to the port was opened. Then
the nntlvcs did not come Into tho wnlled
city ordinarily. When It was desired by a
tribe to secure articles from the city the
old and dlscrcplt men and women would be
sent to do the buying while the able-bodied
men armed with the weapons of the Island
ers would remain In the brush near the city
wain to kill any Spaniards who would offer
the opportunity.
"Tho people of this country have no Idea
of the size of tho Islands of the l'hlllpplno
group and the amount of work that will be
ncccuary to bring them absolutely under
the sway of the United States. For this
reason somo of tho ncwapaper reports icnt
out are amusing. The report that General
cnarfeo Is planting to concentrate tho
troops now In tho Islands Is one of thwn.

YOUNG W0MEN DRAW CART
(Hit .11 nil Compel Hln Dium liter- to
hi;rve n limit of Burden
Over the Country.
When tho authorities swooped down upon
them they were trudging over tho hills In
tho vicinity of Valparaiso, 3nunders
county, following the mnln lines of road
In a northeasterly direction. The old
man, who gives the name of John C. Gra
ham, was limping painfully behind the
two-wheeled curt, laden with household
goods, which was being drawn by his two
grown daughters. Tbn young women
walked on either side of the tongue nnd
leaned their breasts against n sort of
leather collar, which enabled them to pull
after the manner of a draft horse.
Tho other members of the party were an
old woman, wife of Oraham, and two ltt
tlo girls, aged 3 and C years, respectively,
children of one of the women In harness.
All wcru dressed In rags and tatters and
bore evidence of an Imperfect acquaintance
with the bathtub. For two years, tho old
man suld, the had been tramping thus
over several states of the middle west,
begging their food und sleeping In straw
stacks and barns. In the winter they
usually managed to compel the police au
thorltles of some considerable town to sup
port them and In tho summer they toured
the country, gypsy fashion.
One of the young women who labored nt
the cart tongue was of unsound mind nnd
had been so from early childhood. , Her
Bister hnd married unhappily and was the
mother of the two children. The whero
abouts of tho father was unknown.
This In substance is the story told by
Miss Louise Rankin, Lincoln district super
Intcndent of tho Nebraska Children's Homo
society, who arrived In Omaha yesterday
with one of tho llttlo girls, for whom she
hopes to find a home. Tho child Is now In
custody of Hew E. I. Qulvcy, superintend
ont ot tno nqme.
"I never saw such depravity In my life,"
said Miss Hnnkln, "nnd I think wo are ex
remcly fortunate In getting the llttlo girls
away from them before they became old
enough to understand, The family didn't
seem to know whero they wero going or to
care. Tho sune young woman told mo her
fnthor would often get In the cart and
niako her and her sister draw him as well
as the load of household goods, when ho
would about nt them as though they were
oxen nnd prod them with bis enne, which
had a sharp metal point on tho end of it.
"They were arrested near Valparaiso
threo days ago charged with bolng
vagrants. The old man and the old woman
nsked to be sent back to Gngo county,
where, It seems, somo ono had been kind
to them. This was done and I understand
thsy are now In the Gage county poor
house. The simple-minded young ' woman
Is In the asylum; the sane ono has been
sent to some western city Deadwood, 1
think It wns and th? society has found
homes for the two llttlo girls, or will do
so Bhortly."

of Order Turned Down,
Jim Connolly and Tom Hoctor sprung a '
"coo day
Hat" at tho county board meet-
lng yesterday morning,
The business of the meeting was running
along monotonously but smoothly, and no
ono expected any such thing. Chairman
Connolly made no announcement of the 1m
pending coup, ntid even had ho done so ho ,
would not have called It by that name.
Perhaps It was because tho contemplated
action could be expressed proper
w iILaP '
French, a language In which tho chairman
Is somewhat rusty, that Connolly Issued no
advance notice.
At nny rate tho only Intimation given
hnlrman for Mr. Hoctor to take the chair.
Hut that was lufflclent. When Mr.
Hoctor takes the chair It's gold certificates
o confederate bills that there will bo
something doing.
So, while the large gentleman from South
Omaha wns moving laboriously toward the
chnlr, Otis llnrto was separating himself
from tho building with tho agility of a
printer.
Connoll) Stnrli SoiuethliiK.
Now," suld Mr. Connolly, after Hoctor
had adjusted his avoirdupois to Its new
nvlronment and after Harte had probably
eached the corner of Tenth and Farnam
trects, "I wunt to move tho rcadoptlon of
tho resolution adopted June 19 to change
the lines of tho commissioners' districts.
here seems to be some question ns to the
cgollty of our former action on tho resolu
tion, 'because all of the members were not
present at tho meeting, nnd therefore I
movo the rcadoptlon of tho resolution."
Mr. Ostrom noticed that Connolly said
'rcadoptlon" nnd not "reconsideration" nnd
so he was prompt with a point of order.
"1 rise," said Ostrom nnd he did rise
to a point of order. I submit that tho
motion of Mr. Connolly Is out of order
for the reason that the resolution has al
ready been adopted and It cannot bo
adopted again unless the board votes to
reconsider Its former action.
T. Hoctor was never built to be moved
by such trivial things as points of order
and he lost no time In overruling the ono
nindo by Mr. Ostrom.
Ileforo the roll call on Mr. Connolly's mo
tion Mr. Ostrom requested tho clerk to
note on tho rocord that Mr. Harte was nb
sent.
"Yes," said Mr. Hoctor, "let tho clerk
mako such n note and then let him noto
that Mr. Harto was not excused by the
chnlr."
Connolly's motion was then carried by a
vote of 3 to 1 and the gerrymander rcsolu
tlon wnH declared "rendopted."

NORFOLK MAN'S BID LOWEST

Contract nt Oenon Imllnn
Sclirio
WASHINGTON, July 31. (Special Tele
gram.) In tabulating bids for tho brick
school building and frame hospital to bo
added to tho present buildings at the
Gonon Indian school, Commissioner Jones
has ascertained that J. I). Hermann ot Nor
folk, Neb., Is the lowest, having a bid on
thn school hulldlnir comnlcte. with heatlne
anJ piumi,ng, $23,395. He Is also tho
lowest on tho hospital building,
Including heating and plumbing, but does
not come within tho appropriation mnilo oy
congress. Hermann's bid for tho hospital
Is 16.430, while tho appropriation calls for
me uuuumg to uo tunsuuucu iur o,vu...
Commissioner Jones Is doubtful If the In-
" an offlco is authorized to accept a bid if
tho bids aro over tho direct sum appro
Printed by congress. Ho believes (hat tho
Treasury department will view tho matter
ns ho does and lump tho sum for tho two
buildings to bo constructed, In which event
Hermann will probably recclvo tho con
tract.
In many of the bids there wns a failure
to tncludo heating nnd plumbing and In
tubulating theso It became necessary to
draw lines between two bids, necessitating
confidences aa to tho policy to be pur
sued lu tho presentation ot tho enso to tho
comptroller, who will pass upon tho ques
tion. J. B. Hermann of Norfolk, however,
gets tho school building contrnct and mny
possibly get the hospital building at Genoa
