Wilt aa Indian A sent.
Residents of Tama county ate preparing
to make a vigorous protest against Che
scheme broached In the annual report of
Mr. Jones, United States Indian commis
sioner, to have abolished the agency for
the Indiana In Iowa. Mr. Jonea proposes
that the duties of th agent be performed
by the superintendent of the school at To
ledo. The people of Tama county believe
that thla would cause friction and make
certain a repetition of the troubles experi
enced some years ago with these' Indians
when they refused to send their children
to school. The superintendent of th
school la regarded aa an enemy by the In
dians and they get along very well with
an agont. The Baca and Foxes are reso
lutely determined that they shall not al
low their children to become civilised and
would resent th change proposed. The
Iowa delegation will tak a stand against
removal of th agent.
- ' - laejalry lata Caaae of Death.
Th coroner' Jury Is making an Investi
gation Into th caus of the death of Mrs.
Charles Oravea, who was found dead In
her home yesterday. There Is some little
' tnystery as to how and why she cams to
her death, aa It was apparent ah had not
been burned to death. It Is supposed ah
waa choked by the fumea of gasolene and
rendered unconscious first. It was pointed
Out that there waa a discrepancy in th
statements made by the-' husband as to
when he returned home and the surround
ing of the caae, and that there had been
trouble In th family. It waa discovered
that Mrs. Graves had one applied for dl
Tore from her husband on account of
trruclty and that the petition waa with
drawn on account of his agreement to con
duct himself better; but that two weeks
ago she again filed a petition for dtvoroe
in which she mud gTuv accusations
asralnst her husband. Among other things
ah stated that he had threatened to "hire
a man for 12 and a drink of whisky" to
kill her. Thla was looked upon a a sign
Indicating a motive for a possible murder,
but aa yet nothing further has been de
veloped that would connect th husband
with the death in any way.

Is Not a Caadldate.
Denial comes from Dubuque of the story
that Colonel D. B. Henderson Is likely to
again become a candidate for congress In
the Third district. The story Is rewarded
ss havtntf no foundation whatever. Colonel
Henderson, who Is In Dubuque, states that
there cannot be any occasion for th story.
as he Is not a csndldate and will not be
candidate, and he' is not Interested at all
In tha disposal of the Judgeship In the
northern district. It Is anticipated, how
ever, that the Judgeship matter will be
considered by th member of congress at
their homes at holiday time. The possibil
ity of an outside candidate coming Into the
race Is regarded as yet remote.
Sot All Jobber la Movement. '
It developes that th movement on the
part of Jobber in Keokuk and Dubuque
and some other river cities along the Mis-
lsslppl to secure a . change in the Iowa
freight rates Is not approved by all th
Jobbers who would be benefited thereby.
It Is learned that the Jobbers at Davenport
have refused definitely to go Into the move
ment and say that they do not care to
enter into a fight with the Jobbers In the
interior cities of the state. This will prob
ably dispone of . the whole matter, aa at
best the eastern Iowa Jobbers had little
reason to expect action. , '
SALOCN MEN PLAN A NEW TOWN
Refused, Lleeas ia Daalap, Tbey Lay
Foaadatloas of North Daalap
- Across Conaty Llae.
DUNLAP, la., Deo. 19.' (Special.) A
urry of excitement exists here among
temperance workers, cadsed by th pros
pective establishment of a new town Just
across the county line In Crawford county,
to be named North Dun lap, which Is to
contain' one of the finest beer garden In
Iowa. While this scheme has been under
way for several months it haa become pub
lic property within the past week. A year
ago one of Dunlap's progressive men,
wielding considerable Influence, laid the
foundation for a scheme whereby the pro
hibition element of this place could be
outwitted in the establishment of a place
of Inward refreshment. For over four
years the saloon men of Dunlap hav been
compelled to keep closed door on account
of tha aggressive campaign mad by th
Harrison County Temperance league. The
thinking element put their heads together
and concocted a scheme to establish a new
town near this place. For over a year a
number of men 'have been employed to
make their residence on the . proposed
ground, and every effort has been made to
keep within the pal of th law and rnak
the establishment of the new town legal.
Of late the most Interested parties hav
engaged In the canvas of Boyer township,
Crawford county, and that county being
a "saloon county," the petitioners find upon
completion of their work that they have
TO per cent of the voters of tha township
on their petition. This, however, ha Just
become known to the temperance workers,
and aa a result they ar now trying to
undo what has been don. It looks as
though th deal would be successfully car
ried through, In which event 150.000 will
be expended on th new town site, and
on of the moat up-to-date beer g-ardens
will be established. If the plan Is con
summated North Dunlap will be a town of
,500 Inside of a year, as the promoters
will open up Industries sufficient to keep
the population growing and keep those who
become charter members employed.

The safe at th Farmer and Merchants
bank at Kennard waa blown open at 1:80
a. m. Saturday -and robbed of (3,300. The
work was dona by three men, who escaped
with their plunder. The safe was com
pletely wrecked and the brick vault partly
demolished by th UM of nltro-glycer-
lne. The explosion aroused a few persons,
but none attempted to Intercept the fleeing
culprits, whom Sheriff Meneck of Wash
ington county says ar no novices at the
business.,
The sheriff was In Omaha yesterday try
ing to get soma trace or clue to th rob
bers, He pronounced the robbery a clever
piece of work.
'It waa a moat daring plec of business,"
tha sheriff said, 'and we ar convinced that
no amateura did the Job. Just a few people
were aroused by the explosion, not enough
to offer any realatanc to th robber, who
Immediately fled. Not a shot was fired at
them and they had probably one of the
easiest time any bank robbers ever had
ih making- their escapevwlth the booty.
"1 had little difficulty In tracing the rob
bers to Benson," the sheriff said, "because
they left a broad trail. They first stole a
span of fine colts from John Burgess of
Kennard (a team which he prised highly),
and appropriating a wagon from the barn
yard of Henry TletJen, a farmer living
Just outside of Kennard, proceeded as far
as the farm of James Caldwell, some five
miles In this direction, when they had the
first breakdown. They took a buggy from
Mr. Caldwell's barn, leaving- the broken
one, and traveled for perhaps ten miles,
when they had another mishap and stop
pins; at Cal Snydor's place they pressed
one of his light wag-ons Into service. Thin
was the wagon we found at Benson this
morning on our way In, The team we
found In an open lot, where the robbers had
left them. We caught one horse, but the
other got away. A man was sent after it
and I presume will arrive with the horse
in Kennard some time Sunday."
Oaly Small Escort.
Asked regarding th posse which accom
panied him the sheriff said: "Marshal
Jonas Burchman and myself were the only
officers In the party, which Included half
a dosen cltlsens of the town. The cltisena
only accompanied us part of the distance."
"We hav no description of th safe-
blowers and no clue which Is at all liable
to lead to their Identity or apprehension,"
Id the sheriff. "Th police, .who have
lent us every assistance sine w arrived,
suspect South Omaha parties, but for my
self I cannot say that the police ar cor
rect," Sheriff Menecke and Marshal Burchman
abandoned th search for ths men at this
city last evening, leaving for Kennard at
6:46. Efforts will be made, however, to lo
cate them elsewhere, as In th opinion' of
th sheriff they hav put as many miles
between themselves and Omaha a pos

SAN DOMINGO, Dec. 19.-General Pi
mentel has raised a force against th pro
visional government at Halna, near this
city. The situation is becoming compli
cated and the presence of warships is de
sirable. There waa considerable firing laat night
in and out of town. Santiago de los Cabal
leros Is now said to b surrounded by the
government foroes. La Vega, San Fran
cisco and Macorls have declared In favor
of the revolution. Fighting has occurred

The provisional government Intends send
ing an envoy to General Jlmlnes In an ef
fort to come to some amicable understand
ing with him.
The provisional government has agreed
to all the demands made by United States
Minister Powell, Including th appointment
of abltrators and that their decision In th
Improvement company matter and In the
Sala case shall b fully recognised and set
tled, not to again be re-opened. Th Ross
concession settlement Is accepted and the
Clyde concession will be fully respected In
all its parts. The minister agrees not to
demand any payment on the pending
clalma until March 1 next.
Thla may be considered to be another
victory for American diplomacy, aa the
pro visional government had positively re
fused to recognise any of th pending-
American claims, saying It would oppose
any attempts to collect them. By tna ac
tion of Minister Powell the provisional gov-'
ernment Is bound by all th agreements
made with Former President Vaqa r
Wo y Oil.

after considering the German-Spanish pror
tocol referring to the Vlnamata-Huttllnger

ernment at Berlin and Madrid that th
protocol violates th agreement with the
exterior and Interior creditor af Bap Do
mingo, Including th German bondholder.
