WASHINGTON. May O.-iSpeetal 'Tele
rram.) The call liwued by a majority of tho
delegates from Nebraska to the republican
national convention for , meeting In Omaha
next Monday In the subject of considerable
llncusslon In political circles hereabouts anil
tho wisdom or expediency for such a call la
largely questioned. Senator Thurston was
naked an to tho advisability of holding such
a meeting so soon after the convention, but
lie. refused to commit himself for or against
tho proposition except to say emphatically
that ho would not be present at the meeting,
legislation of a morn Important character re
quiring his preicnco In Washington.
I'M ward Kosewater wan asked whether ho
would reach Omaha in tltno to participate In
the. meeting and said that ho would not
Iravo Waihlngton boforp Friday and that
bUHlncsB in connection with the Associated
Vress would dotaln him In Chicago until
Wednesday or Thursday of next week.
Senator Hanna when Informed of the In
tention of tho delegates to meet next week to
perfect an organization, cldct chairman of
delegation and In nil probability attempt to
elect a national committeeman, said that It
was a most unheard of thing. That while he
rild not know anything about tho local situa
tion ho thought It always good politics to
leave tho question of choosing a national
committeeman until tho convening of thu
convention, as many contingencies are likely
1o arise that might have a most Important
bearing In the choice of committeemen and
It Is always best to be In a position to bene
fit thereby.
Ho further said that the Ohio delegation
always selected Its committeeman at the na
tional convention, and ho knew of no r.thcr
iitato where tho choice was made before
hand, even when Instructions wcro given or
preferences expressed by the utato conven
tion, it Is recalled that Senator Thurston
was chosen committeeman at St. Louis In
5800 on tho day the national convention met
nnd that Mr. Iloscwatcr was selected nt Min
neapolis tho day before the convening of tho
tonventlon, notwithstanding that the stato
tonventlon had Instructed' delegates to voto

M HAT OK CHKHAI.S.
A. Qnpatliiii of Interest to All direful
I'erso un,
Tho arguments on ftod nro interesting.
Many parsons adopt a vegetarian diet on
the ground that they do not llko to feci
that llfo has been taken to feed them, nor
tin they fancy the thought of eating dcud
meat.
On tho other hand, too great consumption
pf partly cooked, starchy oats and wheat,
or bread, pastry, etc., produces serious
bowel troubles, because the bowel digcstlvo
organs, (where starch should be digested),
aro overtaxed and the food ferments, pro
ducing gas, and microbes generate In thn
decayed food, .frequently bringing on perl
tonltls nnd appendicitis.
Starchy food ' absolutely essential lo tho
human body. Its best form Is shown In tho
food "Orapo-Nuts." where tho starch la
changed Into grape sugar during tho process
of Its manufacture. In this way the re
quired food Is presented to the system In
a pre-dlscsted form and Is Immediately
made Into blood and thsuo without tuxlng
the digestive organs.
A remarkablo result in nourishment Is
Kalned; tho person using Orapo-Nuts gains
quickly In physical and mental strength.
Why In mental? Hecause the food con
tains delicate particles of Phosphate of Pot
ash obtained from tbo grains. This unite)
with tho albumen of nil food and the com
bination la what nature uses to rebuild
worn out colls in tho brain. This Is a
nclontlfie fact that can be easily proven by
ten days' use of drape-Nuts. Never eat
beyond tbreo or tour hcapluK tc.ispuoufuln
t a meal.
TALK FOR A FEDERAL plant)
Armor I'lntr llliculnn ltriilt In
Ailment1?- of llmrrnnif nt
Fni'tnrj
WASHINGTON', May 1 Prai tlcally tho
entire session of the senate was devoted to
tho section of tho naval bill relating to
armor and armament. Tho debate largely
hinged on tho proposition that the govern
ment should erect an armor plant of Its own.
Senator Tillman presented an amendment
limiting tho price to be paid for armor to
$.100 per ton and providing also that the
government should erect a plant of Its on.
Senators Tillman, Money and Chandler ad- !
vocatod tho erection of a plant, while Hale j
supported the committee amendment provld-
lng for a plant In tho contingency that ar- '
mor could not procured for JH5 per ton. i
No action was taken on tho proposition, the i
bill going over until tomorrow. j
Tillman's amendment authorized the sec
retary of tho navy to construct a government i
armor plato factory at a cost not exceeding
H.000,000, if armor could not be procured for
$300 a ton. Hale, In charge of the bill, ex
plained the cctnraltteo amendment.
"Right In tho midst of our rcmarknblc ad
vancement In the construction of ships."
aald Hale, "we were arrested by this con
troversy over armor plate. I believe the
armor plants put their heads together and
put up prices of armor. Of courso this
created resentment and I am not surprlted at
thp action and feeling of tho senator from
South Carolina, who is acting entirely con
scientiously In the matter."
t'oiiipiiulpN Itulie the Price.
Mr. Hale snld that for tho nrmor of 1897
(412 per ton was paid. "As It was seen,'' I
ho contlnuod, "that we had ships that
ncodod armor, tho companies raised their
price to $515 per ton."
Halo said It was the opinion of the com
mit ten that the government could get bet- ,
ter armor from private concerns than It
could make Itself and avoid any of tho pos- j
sioio aiionoani scanuais. sun it me com
panies decline! to accept $I4B a ton a gov
ernment plant for the manufacture of armor
should bo constructed.
Tillman said If the prices asked by the
manufacturers were paid It would cost the
government $17,000,000, while) nt tho price
h proposed the necessary armor would coat
only nbout $8,000,000. His propcsltlon was to
build an nrmor plant no matter at what
price tho manufacturers proposed to supply
the armor.
Rnferrlng to tho suit begun by Mr. Prick
ngalnst Mr. Carneglo and the former's alle
gations of enormous profits, Tillman said It
was no wonder Carneglo could go to Scot
land and buy game preserves and baronies
and that sort of thing.
Chandler earnestly advocated tho amend
ment of Tillman. Ho would venture the
assertion that the United States could build
an armor plant nnd make armor cheaper
than It could be made by private concerns
nnd we would not havo to pay royalties to
anybody. If the United Status, was to build
only tho ships now authorized, he thought
It might bo well to accede to the demand
of tho armor companies, but If we were to
locomo n world power nnd build ihlps for1
tho next twenty years It would b cheaper
to mako armor at the governm' t's own i
plant. Ho was satisfied that tbi govern
ment needed an armor plant, as w. needed
navy yards as a protection against extor
tion. All In Secret .ScnnIoii.
In calling up tho naval appropriation bill
Hale Aald:
"In view of present conditions (referring
evidently to tho publication today of the re
sults of tho secret nertdon), 1 leave It to the
senator from South Curollna (Mr. Tillman)
whother ho deems It wise or desirable to
proceed with the measure In secret session."
"Remembering what occurred In the sen
ate during tho necrot session yesterday,"
Tillman replied, "and what appeared In the
newspapers this morning, I am persuaded
It would be almost irupofslble to prevent the
nowspapei'H from getting the Information,
nlthough they did publish moro than oc
curred In tho sonato and "
Vest of Missouri I think the senato would
bolter go Into secret sosslon.
Tillmnn I hopo tho senator will permit
mo to rompleto my observations.
Vest I make tho motion for a secret
session. Tho senator's remarks are proving
tho nccuracy of tho newspaper reports.
Chandler seconded Mr. Vest's motion and
at 12:20 p, m. the senate's doors wore dosed.
Nnvy Department Crltlclartl.
Hoar discussed tho subject briefly, dep
recating tho evident Inability o' the senato
to keep Its secrets and criticising tho Navy
department for publishing Information with
held from tho senate. After some brief dis
cussion, it was decided that Inasmuch ns tho
salient facts had been published the
armor plato might as well bo considered In
open session. In 'this connection It was
pointed out that thero was really no secret
about 'tho soft -nosed projectile, ns the Navy
department has been experimenting with tho
projectile, for years.
Later In thn day a communication was
submitted to the senate by Hale, from tho
Bureau of Ordnance, which described mi
nutely tho clfect of tho projectile In ques
tion on various kinds of armor. It was
shown that tho projectile, which Is a solid
steel shot not a shell carrying no explosive
charge, would pierce tho best of armor whon
tho conditions cf the test wcro perfect,
but only under such conditions.

DEADWOOD, S. D., May 9. (Special.)
Ono of tha largest mining deals that has
been promoted In tho Hlack Hills this sea
son has practically been consummated In
this city, the parties Interested being resi
dents of Colorado Springs, Colorado, D. N.
Helzer, n well known mining expert of that
city, is In this city now and he has made
all of his reports upon the ground In ques
tion which havo been extremely favorable.
The ground that will be purchased In the
deal consists of 400 acres or forty mining
locations, situated In tho heart of the
Ragged Top mining district, seven miles due
west of this city. The ground will be pur
chased for tho great quantities of low grade
cyanldlng ore, which will run about $10 per
ton gold. The ore Is a lime formation, which
Is considered the beat cyanldlng ore In the
Hlack Hills.
Tho ground In this deal seems to be cov
ered all over with a blanket of ore, ranging
In thickness from ten to twenty-flvo feet, all
pay ore. The Colorado men who havo ex
amined tho property have shown their sur
prise at tho Immensity of tho gold deposit.
The deal has been rushed through and n
cyanide plant of largo capacity will be tho
first thing tho company purchasing the
ground will Invest in. No development of
the ground will be needed to placo the
proposition on a paying basis, since the ore
covers tho ground In a largo sheet.
In this same district thero Is already a
cyanide plant In operation nnd it Is stated
that tho lime ore, which comes from the
Hlack Diamond group of claims, will yield up
Do per cent extraction und the cost of reduc
tion has been reduced to about 90 cents per
ten, Tho ore Is very poroU3 and It Is
cyanlded very coarse.
Thero Is a likelihood of other big deals
going through In this Ragged Top district
this month In the same class of lime ore.
The lime belt extends for about eleven miles
north and south and It Is about three miles
wide.
It Is under Ragged Top mountain that the
Aniorlean Mining company has commenced
running n tunnel, which Is to bo nearly a
mile In length, and thn cost of construction
will be about $1,000,000.
One of the greatest mining booms that
the Hlack Hills over saw was In this Ragged
Top district four years ago, when gold val
ues wcro discovered In the lime ores. The
Ragged Top district Is Inside of the phono
lite belt.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., May 9. (Special.)
A copy which has been received here of tho
recent decision of the United States su
premo court In the case of John Had KIk, a
Sioux Indian, convicted In the federal court
hero at tho April, 1899, term of tho murder
of an Indian policeman, nnd under sentence
of death, shows It to be the most Important
decision, to far as states having Indian
reservations within their borders aro con
cerned, whloh has been handed down by tho
federal supromo court In many years.
It alters n practlco that has boen
In voguo on the reservations for years In
regard to the apprehension of Indian offend
ers by Indian policemen, and will require
speedy legislation by congrosa to remedy
the conditions created by It.
Since the organization of the Indian pollco
forces at the various Indian agencies It has
been the general custom of the Indian agent
or somo subordinate acting under his di
rection to orally order the arrest by the
policemen of any offender ngainct the ruUs
and regulations of tho reservation, or tha
federal statutes providing for the main
tenance of order on tho reservations. Such
a course was believed to be proper, but tho
court holds to the contrary, and as tho Indian
agent or his subordinates, or the courU
known as the court of Indian offenses -which
havo been established at tho agencies for
the disposition of miner tnfractlons of the
law, nio not clothed with power to issue
warrants for the arrest of offenders, thero
was no other way to procure the apprehen
sion of Indians or others charged with com
mitting crimes on tho reservations,

SOUTH OMAHA NEWS. 1
Many complaints have beeti made lately
about tho large nutnbcr.of rows running at
largo In different parts of the city. It is
asserted that these nnlmals tramp over ter
races, destroy garden patches and otherwise
causo damage. Thero Is a city ordinance
prohibiting the running nt largo of horses,
cows, sheep, swine or goats. Any person
violating this ordinance la tiablc to a fluo
of not more than $100 and the costs of prose
cution. This ordinance wen passed on March i
Si, 1889, and has never been repealed. In
connection with this ordinance thsre is one
authorizing the appointment by tho mayor
of one or moro poundmnsters. The question
of selecting a competent poundmaster has
been a difficult one In the past ns no ono
hero seems to bo anxious to assume the re
sponsibilities of tho position, especially ns
It la a foe ofllce, no salary or compensation
being allowed by the city. It Is contem
plated by tho ordinance that the pound
master shall dcrlvo sufficient compensation
from the fees received from animals re
deemed. It Is declared lawful for any per
son to tnko up any animal found running at
large, contrary to law, and to take the same
to tho pound, but such persons shall receive
no compensation for so doing.
It has been suggested to Mayor Kelly by
members of the council thut be at once ap
point a poundmaster In order to prevent the
destruction of lawns and gardens and the
mayor Is now casting about for a sultnble
man. Tho difficulty of finding a man willing
to accept tho ofllce Is the fact that It is
purely a fee ofllce. The mayor thinks that
he sees a way out. of tho difficulty and ho
may mako a tomporary appointment within
u few days. Hy combining the office of
poundmaster and dogentcher the mayor
thinks that tho compensation would be suf
ficient for a man to devote his entire tlma
to the office. The city pays seventy-live
cents for each dead dog carted away by the
garbagemaster and If this fee went to tho
poundmaster It would assist materially In
paying tho expenses of a pound. There has
not been a dog pound here for a number of
years as of lato tho police havo been shoot
ing untagged dogs nnd tho garbagemaster
has bien hauling the carcasses to tho dump.
This method Is expensive, as in addition to
tho seventy-flve cents paid for tho hauling
away of each dead dog the time of tho police
Is takon up In slaying the animals and the
cost of ammunition during tbo summer cam
paign Is considerable. It is figured that
money would bo saved to the city by tho
appointment of a poundmaster who would
look after the Impounding of stray animals
and also the impounding and killing of un
tagged dogs.
Mention of tho old pound which was down
near the electric light .station recalls the
fact that South Omaha was the flrBt city In
the country to electrocute dogs. Tho plan
worked all right and attracted considerable
attention, as several Illustrated articles were
printed In eastern pupors showing tho
method employed. K. S. Dimmock. then su
perlntondent of tho electric light station,
conceived tho Idea of taking the lives of tho
canines by tho use of electricity. An ap
paratus was rigged urk and In the evening
when the arc lights were started tho cur
rent was turned Into tho apparatus and dogs
wcro deprived of life at the rate of about
ten a minute. As Mr. Dimmock did not
patent his apparatus there Is no reason why
the saran scheme cannot be worked this year
If desired. Dog tags for 1900 are now on
sale at the ofllce of tho. city clerk at the saruo
pricn as last year.

tho employ of the Hurllngton road aro now
