In enforcing the order of the Hoard of
Health's edict as to vaccination when the
public schools reopen this morning no at
tempt will h- made to keep out such
pupils as have been vaccinated by the In
ternal or homeopathic method. Every
pupil presenting a certificate of vaccination
properly signed by a physician of reputable
standing will be admitted. The certificates
will he then turned over to the Hoard of
Ile.ild for it to deal with ns it deems tit.
Thus the uuestiun of repudiating the cer
tificates Issued to those vaccinated by
other methods than Hint of scarillcatlon
will he up to the Hoard of Health. In case
the Hoard of Health orders that all teach
ers and pupils vaccinated by the internal
method be debarred from the schools the
order will be enforced.
It Is expected that letween 1,500 and 2,000
pupils will be sent bome today on account
of non-vaccination. Superintendent Clifford
stated yesterday that he had been advised
that nil of the teachers had been vaccinated
In some manner. The Janitors, it is said,
hav all compiled with the order with the
exception of Kalph Simpson of the Wash
ington avenue building. Mr Simpson is
an aged man and on this account has been
somewhat fearful about running the risk
of being vaccinated: It Is thought that he
can come under the class claiming exemp
tion, as provided In Judge Green's decree.

DES MOINES. April 16.-(Spcclal. An
other term of the supreme court hns passed
and no ' decision In the charter city as-s'-spment
cases. While there Is no def
inite knowledge tr, that effect it Is gen
erally supposed thit the six members of
the supreme court are In a deadlock over
the cases. Ordinarily If the supreme court
Is equally divided on a case It In effect
sustain." the action of the lower Court,
but In this Instance there were two cases
from two lower courts, one decided one
way and the other the other way, and the
two cases were consolidated. A disagree
ment of the court therefore in this case
leaves the question decided one way In
one county and another way In the other
county.
The district court of Scott county held
that cities under special charters could
assess raJlroad properties at K0 per cent
of their value If they saw fit and the
Milwaukee railroad, against which the
suit was brought, appealed the case to the
supreme court. In Linn county the dis
trict court held that special charter cities
could not assess at the full value and
could only assess at 25 per cent of the
value, and the city In that case appealed
to the supreme court. There are seven
special charter cities in the state, and as
they are all large cities tTie railroad prop
erty In each Is large. Some of these cities
are now assessing at the full value, while
others are taking but one-fourth the value
and the railroads and. lawyers are wait
ing with Interest for the decision of the
supreme court, which has now been de
layed for over a year.
Alarona Takes Lead.
The standing of the companies1 of the
Fifty-sixth regiment of the Iowa National
Guard, as shown by the report of the In
spector general, g'ves Company F of Al
gona the highest rank In the regiment,
with a per cent of 97.6. The two companies
from Sioux City are close behind them and
hut 2-10 of 1 per cent of a difference be
tween them. Company I. of Stoux City
has a per cent of 95.6 and H has 95.4.
The lowest company in the regiment Is
Company C of Webster City with 78. This
gives the regiment a very high average.
The other companies are: Band, 91.8; A,
Mason City, 85.4; D, Rock Rapids, 8R8; E,
Sheldon, S9; G, Fcrt Dodge, 88.2; I, Boone,

Writes to Governor Folk.
Governor Cummins Saturday addressed a
letter to Governor Folk of Missouri In
compliance with a request from parties In
that state who desire a maximum freight
rate law. In substance the letter states
that the local freight rates of this state
have had a very beneficial effect on the
business of the state, though the state
has no maximum freight rates. In con
formity with ten act of the legislature. In
1888 the railroad commissioners published
a schedule of rates which, according to
law. Is held prima facie evidence of rea
sonable rates, and this has been in force
since that time and the railroads have
obeyed It and the enforcement is held to
be of most noted benefit to the state, es
pecially to the wholesale Interests. Tho
governor states that any suggestion of an
appeal of these rates would be vigorousl
contested and that while the factories
have not been developed in the state, this
Is due more to railroad discrimination
through Interstate traffic which at present
forms the basis of a most determined
movement to enlarge the powers of the
Interstate Commerce commission.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., April 16.-(SpeciaI.)
As the resttlt of a hearing before Judge
Cairland of the I'nlted States court, Lee
Sing, a Chinaman who resides In Sioux
Falls, and who, with another of his breth
ren residing at Elk Point, was recently
ordered deported from the I'nited States,
was declared to be a native-born citizen
of the I'nited States. A Chinaman living
at Sioux City was the principal witness
for Lee Sing when his appeal from the
notion of I'nited Stutes Commissioner Con
way of this city, in ordering him to be de
ported, came on for hearing before Judge
Carland. The Sioux City-Chlnamun testi
fied: he was present at the birth of Lee
Sing nt San Francisco in 1SS5. This tes
timony could not be disproved and there
fore had to.be accepted as final and Lee
Sing will continue to be a legal resident
of the United States.
Tore Teigtn of this city, ns attorney for
W. H. Relnschmldt of Lynch. Neb., filed
a demurrer to an . Indictment churglng
Relnschmldt with shipping gunie In viola
tion of the national game law, and with
not having had the package properly
marked, as the law requires. Judge Car
land sustained that part of the demurrer
which related to having shipped game un
lawfully, so Relnschmldt will be tried only
on the charge of not having properly
tagged the package. The shipment con
sisted of ISO quail and was delivered to a
common currier at Wegner, S. D., for ship
ment to Chicago.
Thomas Robertson, a mixed-blood Sis

ABERDEEN, S.- D.. April K (Special.)
Th6 Dakota Central Telephone company
hns presented a petition to the city coun
cil asking permission to place Its wires In
the business part of town underground.
The council will undoubtedly grant the re
quired permission and pass un ordinanco
governing the subject. The company, when
the permission is obtained, intends to ex
pend nt least $30,000 in improvements on Its
local system. It proposes to substitute for
its present plant tho "central energy sys
tem," by which all power Is located at the
cuntral plant and the batteries In tho
'phones of subscribers are done away with.
A new switchboard with a capacity of
4,400 wires and costing $12,000 will also be
Installed. The underground wires to start
with will cover the business of the com

I 11 TO
THE HISTORY OF CHAMPAGNE No. 9.
BENEDICTINE MONK named Dom Pericnon,
noticed that grapes from some soils imparted
fragrance, others flavor, etc., to the famous
Champagnes of Old France, and he hit upon
the idea of blending the produce of
several vintages.
All the delicate skill of Champagne's
inventor, crowned by centuries of im-
m -ifaa 'jsf provement, are known to the makers of
1 Great Western
the fragrant, clear and fine product of tho oldest .vine
yards In New York State.
The age of these vineyards has made It possible to
attain the chemical conditions of soil which have Imparted
to foreign Champagnes their peculiar quality.
This has not been accomplished In any other Amer
ican vineyards, and Is due to the long period of cuh. 'a
tion with scrupulous care. v
Great Western Is the finest American Champagne v .
the only one granted a gold medal at Paris.
Actually equal to foreign Champagnes at half the
price. The duty, not the quality, makes the difference.
