House Sinberi Aro Wanting.
Mall carriers complain that half of the
bouses In Council Bluffs lack the atreet
numbers which should distinguish them.
and that for thla reason their work of de-
Ilverlng mall is increased and hindered
Postmaster Haielton. it Is said, will call
th attention of the city council at Its
meeting tonight to this matter and ask
that the ordluancs governing It be en
forced. Ths ordinance providing for th- number
ing of houses waa passed in ISS". but has
long sines become a dead letter. It pro
vides that when any house Is not prop
erly numbered or not numbered at all
It becomes the duty of the city engineer
to give such house Its correct number and
require ths earns to be placed on such
touae in a conspicuous position next to the
street.
Mall carrier assert that at least half
of the houses, especially those In the out
skirts, ar not numbered at all, and In
consequence their work of delivering mall
is greatly hindered. It is also a well known
fact that few of the streets in the city
have any sign to identify them. Some two
years ago a move was made in the city
council to secure street signs, but owing
to ths lack of funds at the time the mat
ter waa allowed to dl a natural death.
It la possible that the agitation to have
Jit houses numbered may result in also
kavtng th streets provided with signs.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. Nov. $0. (Special.) The
State Board of Health Is In receipt of in
formation to the effect that the epidemic of
smallpox on the Indian lands In Tama
county among the Musquakie Indians was
completely crushed out and that by reason
of the unusual measures taken by the state,
In accordance with a resolution of the leg
islature, and a special appropriation ex
pended under direction of the president of
the state board, there has been no recur
rence of the smallpox among these Indiana.
There Is some fear that during the next
winter there may be another outbreak of
the epidemic among the Indians, but Inves
tigation has shown thst these Indians com
plied with the quarantine In every respect,
that they have cleaned up their lands and
teepees and are now In much better sani
tary condition than ever known before. The
records show that about one-tenth of the
Indians on the farm died of the smallpox
when it was prevailing, and this Included a
great many of the older members. Some
of the best known of the men perished.
There has always been an element of mal
contents among the Indians who are per
petual mlchlef-makers, and it is alleged
that as a result of the decimation of the
tribe this element has been materially al
tered and the Indians have much greater
respect for the state government than ever
before. There are a few damage cases still
pending In the federal courts Involving the
old trouble over the tribal school, but this
matter will be disposed of soon.
The State Board of Health yesterday re
ceived a report from Davenport showing
there had been seven cases of smallpox
there in the last month. One new case was
reported from Iowa City and one new case
from Grlnnell.
Governor at Stork Show.
Governor Cummins will attend the Inter
national Stock show In Chicago this week
and deliver an address. It is expected there
will be governors from many other states
present at the same time, but Governor
Cummins has, since coming into 'Office, man
lfested the greatest Interest In the live
stock and farming Industries of the coun
try. The governor Is to have quite a series
of speaking dates In the month. On Tues
day be delivers an address of welcome to
the state meeting of the implement dealers
In Des Moines. On Wednesday he Is at the
stock show In Chicago. .On Thursday he
speaks before a meeting or the Daughters
of the Revolution In Dubuque, and the even
ing of the same day is at a banquet at a
church In the ssme city. On Friday he will
preside at a 'possum supper In Des Mplnes
given by a colored man. On Saturday he
attends the state meeting of the traveling
men and welcome them. On Sunday he pre
sides at a Salvation Army meeting In Des
Moines and Introduces General -William
Booth. Next week he will attend the Na
tlonal Reciprocity league meeting Jn De
trolt. after which he will go to Washington.

Ko Cloe to Bask Roboory,
No new developments In the Arthur bank
robbery have manifested themselves since
the looting occurred last Wednesday morn
ing. The robbery, unquestionably, was com
mitted by expert bank cracksmen, .and they
have so completely covered up their trail
since they left Arthur that the earth must
have swallowed them. Sheriff McLeod of
Ida county has bad several clues-as the pos
sible Identity of the robbers, but after care
ful Investigation he was convinced that the
parties suspected were not the ones wanted.
Broke l a Fence.
Officers in Lucas county have the past
week succeeded In discovering and break-
lng up a fence for stolen goods among the
i stolen from a store In Slgourney early In
the month. The goods consists of silks
: clothing, furs, eta, and the amount filled
a wagon and made a load. Ths store was
broken into and the goods carted away
during the night, but until this raid was
made there was no clue to the perpetrator.
The raid resulted in the arrest of Zeke
Brown, William Salisbury and William
Boxdale, all colored, and they will be held
; for the robbery. Some articles were found
which had evidently been stolen from other
places than in Slgourney, and an effort
Is feeing made to locate the places whence
they came. There has been a vast amount
thievery among the towns In southern
Iowa and It is believed this discovery will
go far to prevent Its reoccurrence.
Escape front Hospital.
Several more escapes from the inebriate
hospital at Mount Pleasant were reported
to Governor Cummins yesterday by Super
intendent Applegate. Accompanying the
J report was a letter In which the super-
lntendent said the Inebriates were con
stantly complaining of their treatment
that In order to keep them satisfied It
was necessary to allow them a much lib
erty as possible and that when this course
ws. followed it was impossible to prevent
some from making breaks to escape.
Lost a Tataabla Grip.
H. L. Mecurn, a traveling auditor for th
McCormlrk Harvesting Machine company,
stopped at the Arlington hotel In New
Hampton and left hia grips, containing
valuable papers in the car of the landlord
while he attended to business around town.
When the omnibus called for passengers
going north about 5 p. m., th clerk sent
on of Mr. Mecurn' grip to th depot
thinking he was going away on that train.
Mr. Miller, the "bus driver, set It out onto
the platform, and that is th last anyone
knows about it. When the hotel people
found that Mr. Mecurn wa not going away,
they tried to get the grip returned, but it
cannot be found, and, apparently, has been
j stolen. The grip contained $4.60 of notes
due th McCormick Harveatlng company,
some 117.000 voucher or receipts from
banks scattered over the country, to the
asms company, wearing apparel, check
books, etc.

ers, who deny that the omnibus hill ha
the strength Its friend claim for It.
Other matter which, in addition to th
appropriation bills, are to receive atten
tlon are trust legislation, the tariff and
Cuban reciprocity. It is possible that the
Cuban question may be postponed until
the pending commercial treaty Is transmit
ted, but there has not been any determi
nation on that point.
Few republican senstors admit the prob
ability of any change of the tariff law dur
ing the present session, but some bill
to modify present schedules may be intro
duced and reports made thereon. Some
ceaators speak of tariff commission as a
probability, but there are differences of
opinion as to the utility of such a body.
There is quite a unanimity of opinion
favorable to anti-trust legislation and this
opinion goes to the extent of predicting
result along the lines indicated by Attor-
ney General Knox, for the amendment of
the Sherman anti-trust law.
Differences of opinion as to the constitu
tionality of some of the proposed changes
hsve developed already. The commltte on
the Judiciary will attempt to reconcile these
difference and if It succeeds the present
indications are favorable to affirmative ac
tion by the senate. The democrat will
place no obstacle in the way of such leg
islation. There is so longer serious talk of con
stitutional amendment for th control of
trusts as it is recognised that In a short
session it would be Impossible to secure
action on such amendments.
The present week will barely witness the
beginning of three months' work. Tomor
row the usual committee of two senators
will be appointed to call on the president
and resolutions of regret for the death
of Senator McMillan of Michigan will
bring the day' session to a close a few
minutes after assembling. It Is possible
that the oath of office may be administered
to General Alger, Senator McMillan's suc
cessor, but even this ceremony may fcs
postponed for a day.
On Tuesday the president's message will
be read and beyond this no business will
be attempted that day. The sessions of
Wednesday and Thursday will also be brief
with an adjournment from Thursday until
the following Monday.
On Wednesday la accordance with the
agreement of last session. Senator Bever
idge will doubtless present a report from
the committee on territories and it will then
go over until December 10.
There will be, an effort to confirm some
of th numerous nominations expected to
be sent in at the first opportunity. Th
list of those In whose Interest this effort
will be made. Includes Oliver Wendell
Holmes, associate Justice of ths United
States supreme court.
A large number of bills will be intro
duced on Wednesday and Thursday and the
foundation laid for what all predict will be
a crowded session.
