ORDERS PAULSON'S ' CERTIFICATE CANCELED Count ) ' Ilonril Wan WrniiK lit to Count tin ; VetcH from tlid Second I'rrcluct uf tlic Sixth \Vnri1. Judge McGco decided yesterday morning that the Board , of County Supervisors must count the vote cast In the late election In the East Omaha precinct , and ordered the board to cancel the certificate of election Issued to Prof. Paulson and reissue It to Prof , Saw yer , showing his election to the office of county superintendent of schools. Judge McGco's decision In the mandamus cnso was awaited wlth great Interest and there was a largo crowd In the superior court room yesterday morning when It was announced. The decision sustains every contention In every part brought up by the attorneys for Sawyer and Is a victory for them that called for some hearty congratu lations from their fellow attorneys. The board convened nt the usual hour In the morning , but did llttlo business whllo waitIng - Ing for the opinion. When it was received Paulson was made n party to the eult by agreement , for the purpose of preventing the necessity of another action In court com pelling him to surrender the certificate of election. The decree was not officially served until afternoon and the board went to work to canvass the rejected returns. The work proved to bo a little bit more than was anticipated , ns It Involved the necessity for constructing a new abstract of the entire county vote. This was moro than Auditor Matthews could accomplish during the aft ernoon and the board adjourned until this morning , when the process of counting Paulson son/ / out and Sawyer in again will bo re sumed. It was authoritatively declared yesterday that the matter would not end with the an nouncement ot the result by the canvassing board today. Immediately after the an nouncement Is made the board will be served with notice that Paulson will contest the election , of Sawyer. This \vlll necessi tate the scanning and cumtlng of every vote cast In the county by the members of a con test board provided by the statutes. This board will consist of the chairman of the county board and one man to bo selected by each of the contestants. These men will presumably bo the attorneys Interested on either sldo of the present case. Paulson re lics upon the fact that among the 700 or SOO republican votes that were cast for Sawyer , which were of necessity all scratched , there will bo found a sufficient number Irregularly marked to extinguish Sawyer's plurality ot eight. It Is probable also that there will be losses on the other sldo. In one of the city wards there wcro forty votes cast that had "yes" written in on the poor farm proposi tion. These votes were all for Paulson and if the contest board holds that they are marked ballots and rejects them It will cut down Paulson's vote seriously. There Is also ono precinct In the country where Irregu larities are alleged to have been committed that will compel Its rejection. WOHKIXO IfOIl THE KXPOSITIOX.

The committee appointed at the last meetIng - Ing of the executive committee of the Coun cil Bluffs Transmlsslsfllppl association to wait upon the management of the exposition In Omaha and secure the rescinding of the charge for the site for the Iowa building has completed its work and prepared Its renort. The report will be submitted to the association at Its next meeting and will show that the request made by the resolution has been compiled with. There will be no charge made for a site for the Iowa building and all of the funds placed at the disposal of the Iowa exposition commissioners will bed d to defray the cost of the building and the exhibit that will bo made. The commit tee , composed of Senator Pusey , William Moore and W. A. Maurer , received a pleasant welcome from the exposition management , and before the chairman had finished mak- Inc'tho statement of the object of the visit assurances were given that no charges of any character would bo made by the expo sition management. The Council Bluffs commltteo accompanied Chairman Packard of the executive commlt tee of the Iowa commissioners and the as surances that the management had reconsid ered the matter of exacting the 'Charge for a. slto were given directly and officially to him. him.Whllo Whllo the commltteo was in Omaha the members assisted ex-Governor Packard In locating the state building. The site selected is one of the most prominent on the grounds , close by the main entrance , and the building the state will erect will bo one of the first oblects to meet the eyes of the visitors on entering the gates. Speaking on the subject yesterday Sena tor Pusey raid : "Wo were greatly pleased with' the reception accorded us. Although wo had no reason to expect any other kind of treatment , yet a committee , bearing a grievance naturally expects some rebuffs. We wcro given to understand right at the start that every man interested In the manage ment of the exposition and In Its success was anxlqus to show the' Iowa representa tive and the Council Bluffs commltteo every possible consideration. The action will re move many ot the obstacles from the way of the largo appropriation that we will aok from the legislature this winter. All of the members of the Pottawattamlo delegation In the legislature will , figuratively speaking , pull off their ccats and go to work from now on and get things In shape for the con test when the legislature meets , Iowa ought to make oven a more creditable showing than was made at the Columbian exposition , for the reason that moro Immediate and greater ultimate results will follow , The exposition Is going to ho all otthe great success that its originators have planned 11 to be , and tha natural force of circumstances will com pel the state to make an extra effort toward a fine display.

At Gold- grabber's dry goods store the man presented another check ot tbo same character In pay ment for a small purchase and received the remainder In cash. The third check was passed on the Knowles Shoe company. The checks were not banked until late yesterday afternoon , near the close of business , and their sourlous nature was not detected until thev were sent to the bank for payment.

( Special Telegram. ) The sensational disclosures mode in this city on Sunday over the city clerk's ac tion in dating back a notice of damages has been the leading topic of conversation in this city today. The local papers have followed | the matter up very closely and it looks very much as If there would bo an official In vestigation of the scandal. City Clerk Jack son -today annotticcs that ho will not resign and says ho will not go out of the office under a cloud. The deputy clerk has taken sides against Jacknon and avers that n lie has passed somewhere. The city attorney had the deputy clerk some weeks ago mutilated the clerk's official stamp to catch Jackson. The stamp on the Sachs notice shows this mutilation , which la slight. An evening paper editorially roasts the city administra tion and directly Implicates Aldermen Moore and Marshall In the deal. It says that the clerk should be forced to resign.

Some , however , think he was sent there for the express purpose of doing exactly what ho did do and that It was a clover ruse on the part of the defendant's friends to get a delay and perhaps to secure a dismissal on the charge of murder.

A Scntteruil llrnitcli ot 4Iio MvliiKIn tlic West. The name Muskwakl la the designation of ono ot the most Interesting among the ab original tribes of North America , writes Prof. W. J. McQeo , acting director of the Smithsonian institution , in response to an Inquiry from the editor of the Cedar Ilaplds Gazette. The tribe belongs to the Algonquin stock. At the time of the earliest records by white men they wcro In what Is now Can.ida . , near the southern end of Lake Huron , while their own traditions seem to Indicate that they hod reached that paint by long-continued westerly migration , and that they were acquainted with the country south of Lake Ontario , and thence eastward to the shores ot thu Atlantic somewhere north of Capo Cod. From the point determined by historical records they arc known to have mlgiated westward across the St. Clalr river , traversing the lower peninsula of Michigan ; soon afterward they reached thu vicinity of Green bay , In what Is now Wisconsin , though It Is not known how they crossed Lake Michigan. From Green bay they mi grated scuthwcstward to and across the Mis sissippi , anil occupied eastern Iowa. While In Michigan (90 ( far as has been ascertained ) they formed an alliance with the Osaukl , Sauklo or Sac Indians for war purposes , and while about Green bay the alliance seems to have grown into a confederacy for de fense and offense against the Sioux Indian ? . Still later the same confederacy was main tained In a strife against the whites , which terminated In the Black Hawk war. I5y reason , ot this confederacy It became and still remains custonlary to speak of the Indians of both the Muskwakl and Sac tribes as the Sac and Fox Indians ; yet , so far ns I can learn , the two tribes were not closely affiliated In language , and were so far dis similar in social organization and beliefs that the alliance was never harmonious save under stress ot war ; und disruption began Immediately after the Black Hawk war and ccntlnued until the tribes again became distinct , and this despite the mistaken effort of Indian agents and other representatives of the government to perpetuate the con federacy. During and for some time previ ous to the war against the whites which bears his name , Black Hawk was the war chief. Black Hawk was a Sac ; but , so far as I can gather , Poweshlek , the head of the Muskwakl tribe , was the real power behind the throne and Black Hawk's chief adviser , though he always counseled peace. After the Black Hawk war the Indians withdrew Into the unsettled wuntry and about 1853 the two tribes were located together on a reservation in Indian territory ; there the antipathy between them soon resulted In dla- senslon , and the Muskwakl Indians gradually withdrew , family by family , and most of Ihcm returned to their former hunting grounds ) on the Iowa river , about fifty miles west of Cedar Rapids. There they acquired land In exchange for ponies , furs , etc. , and there the greater part of the tribe remains. There are some 400 men , women and chll- 'dren In this main part of the tribe , and they own some 3,000 acres of land , located on both sides ot the Iowa river , a few miles west of Tama' . The name of Muskwakl means "red fox , " or "pecplo of the rod fox. " It Is the name by which the tribe distinguishes itself. The Muskwakl Indians have always been distinguished for excellence of physique and dignity of bearing. They were always brave In battle ( despite a curios misapprehension to the contrary ) , though it is their beast that they have always been at peace with white men , save when temporarily dominated In council In the Black Hawk war. Several of their chiefs have become prominent in the history of the country ; the old shoman , who recently died , was a friend and sup porter of Julian Dubuque , the well known oloncer. Through a 'combination of accidents the desire for yeaco when the Sac Indians , under Black Hawk , stood out for war , the fact that their name was commonly trans lated into English the Muskwakl trlbo had not received due prominence In the minds of historians and the public. It follows , of course , that the name is a pre-eminently fit ting ono for preservation in geographic and other nomenclature. The ordinary spelling of the name Is Musquaklo , but the orthography a'doptcd ih the bureau Is as above , The Cedar Haplds Gazette adds the follow ing regarding the Muskwakls as known In central Iowa ; "Like the Indians of other climes and of other days , the Musquakl had their legends , and tbo impressions of them are still left In the soil of Linn county , pro vided they are true. Up the river from Linn Junction , about a quarter of a. milt ; above the Milwaukee crossing and half & mlle back from the river near a lake which has since passed Into mist , there Is an old Indian burying ground. Many a savage whoao wrong-doing toward the palefaces was very slight lies here In peaceful sleep , and the roar of railroad trains and the ruoli of travel disturbs him not. Ho Is shooting choicest steaks In the happy hunting ground and his little handful of great grandchildren know of him only In Indian song and story , The Muequakl had a civilized Idea of the burial of their dead , and when some great sachem passed away they made a panel of wood with a lid to It , placed him Inside and dropped the lid and covered It ovoh with dirt. It Is said that even in this day the graves can easily bo found after an In. vcstigatlon below the surface of the ground , but nothing 'will bo found except somu mouldy bones and decayed wood which oncu formed the sarcophagus of the mighty bixivc , who was once endowed with all the Instlncta ot his eavago brethren. And the story runa that every twenty yearn , when the mcon cast Its wlerd rays across the shadowy wood , land , the braves rso ! from their charnc ) houses and dance the war dance as In ilayn of old , when the tramp of the white man was yet an unfamiliar sound. The story goes that the last epoch was In 1885 , when some whlto men from the city , who worts out hunting , witnessed the strange core , mony , According to < theBO figures the next dance will not occur until 1905. So If you wish to see how the Mtutquakl did < thelr dance Just drop around eight years from today and you will see sights about which Slukespoaro never 'wrote , even In his blood iest tragedies. What Is Knoun to the old residents as "Usher's Bottoms , " In the heavy woodland just back of Linn Junction and In the Im mediate vicinity of the burying ground , wao the homo of the trlbo ' ' from 54 to 07. They made their wigwams of bark and many a feast of corn and dog was held beneath the grateful ehade of tbo woodland. Indian funerals were an uncommon sight , for tha Muskwakl was a hardy redskin and he lived long. So far as known but ono white man ever beheld the ceremony over the death of a red Muekwakl. He bad been hunting and stumbled upon the camp unobserved. It was the custom to kill tlie favorlto dog on the death of a chief and this particular canlno was tied to a tree with a red string about 1U neck , dead as a smelt. The trees for some distance about the camp were dec orated with red cloth or cord and the Immo.

Powcehlck says that the water was eo high at that point that four Indians standing erect would nil Iho llttlo knoll left high and dry nbovo the rushing river. It la generally conceded that the Musk wakls wcro always peaceful toward the whites and never , so far as can be learned , wap the hair of a paleface raised by the knife of these friendly redmcn , but they often assisted them In protecting tholr homes and their loved ones against the cru elties of other redskins who wcro not so friendly.
