' Two .Innlcctitiic Indians.
PRKI > IU : , Neb. , April 20. [ Special to TUB
UBB. ] Daniel Webster and Sylas Wood , two
Omaha Indians , who liavo a small following
in their trlbo , loft this week lor Washing
ton , the object of their visit to the national
capital being to sccuro permission , Is possi
ble , to remain ns llioy are for twenty-five
years yet , Instead of becoming .citizens , and
thus avoid raying taxes. A purse to pay
their ways to Washington was roiscd by
those of their trlbo over whom they exorcise
n certain power by means of deception , and
they expect the Indian commission to furnish
funds for their return. In this they are very
likely to meet with disappointment , as a tele
gram from a chief of the Omuhas has cone
ahead of them , instructing the commissioners
of Indian affairs to Ignore them , and compel
them to cither pay their own fares home , or
"hoof" it. Webster and Wood tire regarded
ns shysters , both In their trlbo and among
the whites , and are only considered promi
nent by a few of the most worthless and
fault-finding members of the Omaha band.
It Is claimed by a gentleman who Is thor
oughly acquainted with the Omahas , that
thcsQ.two men have no hopes of accomplish
ing nnythincr nt Washington , but merely
went on a pleasure trip at the expense of
their lesvintelllgent brothers , whom they
have impressed with the belief that next to
taxation comes death , and thus induced them
to raise funds and send them on a pleasure
trip. _

Pnsniia , Neb. , April 20. [ Special to Titc
UCE. ] The republicans of Thurston county
have Issued n call for n convention , to bo hold
at this place on Wednesday , May 1. It has
been contended by sumo from the day of
Thurston county's organization that the
chances for success wore pretty evenly di
vided between the democrats and republi
cans , but if the basis upon which the repub
licans estimate the representation to which
each precinct is entitled to in the convention
is anything like correct the republicans are
.almost a third the strongest in the new
county. In their call , thnv allow ono dole-
gatc-ut-largo In each precinct and ono foi
every fifteen votes or major fraction thereof.
There are six precincts in the county , and
the total number of delegates is estimated nt
thirty-one , five more than the democrats
claim In their call , by allowing the same ap
portlotimcnt of delegates to each precinct ,
It Is also conceded by democrats who claim
to know , that the estimate of their vote in
the county is high , while that of their oppo
ncnta Is low , If out of the way ut all.

WHY JACKSON WAS SI1OIV
Ht. Joseph's Chief of Police Blamed
as an Accessory.
ST. JOSEPH , Mo. , April 20. [ Special Tele
gram to TJII : .Biu : . ] An Incident has devel
oped to-day in connection with the shooting
of the colored porter , Lewis Jackson , by
Contractor Charles Nowland , that has
caused an intense local excitement and has
resulted in the St. Joseph newspapers and
the citizens generally , demanding the dis
missal of Chief of Police John Hrodcr.
Yesterday morning , when ho wns arrested ,
Jackson was taken to the private office of
the chief , In company with Nowland null his
brother and the chief. Then began an at
tempt at intimidation. The doors wcro
locked. Nowland borrowed the revolver of
the chief , and advancing , grabbed Jackson
by the throat , forcing him , to his knees ,
pointing the revolver at him , the muzzle
almost against Jackson's face. Ho demanded
the name of the party for whom ho had car
ried the note , failing to sccuro which ho
swore ho would kill Jackson. The negro
was terrified and began to yell as loudly as
possible , and to beg for help. His cries
were beard all over the city hall , and across
on Second street. The torture was kept up
for almost nn hour , Jackson steadily deny
ing that ho know the name of tha man who
had given him the note. If Jackson should
die , an effort will bo made to hold the chief
as an accessory to the killing. So far ho has
declined to say anything in his defense.
To-night the history of the insulting note
was learned. The note was written by a
in wholesale tobacco
fourteen-year-old boy a
store , after Jackson's dictation. Tlio per
ter's idea was to learn If the young lady
would make appointments with men , and if
so , to add her name to the list ho has for the
benefit of those who ask for them.

WINXITEO , April 20. A , horrible tale of
murder and suicidn has just reached hero
rom High Bluff , a little village only n few
miles from this city , the victims being a
farmer named McLeod and his daughter ,
aged eight , while another child , a boy of 13
years , is so badly wounded that ho
can not recover. McLeod was last
seen last night about dusk. A ncichbor
named Lotta visited the house to-day and

cut lying near the stove. Both children
were found In n bedroom. The girl hud
been struck on the head with n sharp-edged
nxo and was dead. The boy had four deep

incorporated towns to regulate telephone
rates. Craft then moved that the bill bo re
ported back with a recommendation that it
do not pass. A motion was made to lay his
motion on the table , but it failed to. pass.
Walsh then introduced nn amendment pro
viding that In cities of 100,000 inhabitants or
over not more than $100 per annum should
bo charged for ouch telephone. This amend-
mout was defeated and n motion to report
the bill unfavorably prevailed by a vote

Coiilllotluc Stories -About the - Rumored
mored Cut in Knuinoers' Wnuce.
CHICAOO , April 20. [ Special Telegram to
Tnn Br.c. ] Diligent Inquiry by a reporter
o-dny failed to show any basis for the
lories of n contemplated reduction in the
vngcs of the engineers of the western roads.
Chat the engineers themselves fear that
something is going to drop soon , that some-
hing being their wages , is evident. A half
dozen brotherhood men are at present acting
as detectives In watching n detective agency
Dearborn street , where now engineers
were being lured , it was said. The reporter
called on George Hackney , superintendent of
motive power of the Atchison , Topcka &
Santa Fo road , anil asked him concerning the
report that the wages of engineers were to
jo cut on that line.
"There is nothing in the story , " said Mr.
Hackney. "If the road contemplated any
such action , I certainly should know of it.
I'ho business of the Santa Fo road is pretty
good , and I do not think that any lowering
)1 wages will bo made. " *
General MoNulta , of the Wabash road ,
authorized this statement : "A reduction In
the wages of our engineers has not. been
thought of , nor will it be. Wo have a con
tract with our men , who all belong to the
brotherhood , and wo would not break it.
Besides , the Wabash is earning more money
now than it was a year ago. Humors of re
ductions in the wages of the engineers of
other roads have be'en circulating , but wo do
not give them much credence. " _
An officer of the Burlington said unoffic
ially : "The wapes of the "Q" engineers will
not bo cut , so far as I know. Reductions in
the working force of the road have been
made so far as was practicable , but the
wages of the engineers wore not touched. "
The officials of the St. Paul road also de
nied that any reductions are in prospect.
The only evidence going to show that the
roads are uiakinc preparations for trouble
with the engineers was gleaned at the de
tective agency , mentioned above. The Illi
nois State Police and Detective ngcncy has
its headquarters in room 4 , 121 Dcarnorn
street. Colonel T. C. Trynn , the superin
tendent , after some urging , is answer to in
quiries , said : "Yes , wo have been hiring
engineers , but for -.vhat roads , I would pre
fer not to state. Some time ago wo made ar
rangements with the different managers to
supply them with engineers in un emergency ,
and wo now have the names of n largo num
ber on our books. If a strike occurred on
any of the lines wo could have a largo num
ber of men on the ground In a short time. "
"Have there been any calls for engineers
from any of these roads i "
"Yes. "
"For how manyl"
"You'll ' have to find that out elsewhere.
I am sorry this has got out. "
