SIOUX CITT, la.. April 23. (Special.)
Although Rev. Father Joseph Schell must
pass1 the next six weeks with hi lower Jaw
and much of his head neased In an un
yielding plaster cast, th priest I dis
posed to view with equanimity if not
satisfaction the brutal assault which ha.
for the time Interrupted his energetic cam
paign against graft. The dastardly act
which might have killed the victim but
for his Iron make-up. has served to rally
about Father Schnell men Of Influence,
money and determination which he be
fore did not even know where Interested
In his efforts.
A prominent and resourceful banker In
this vicinity ha taken occasion to call
on the priest at the hospital to tender
the service of one or two of the best
lawyers In Sioux City to prosecute to
the limit the saloon keeper, Logan Lam
bert, whi Invited Father Schell to meet
him to dlecuss affairs on a friendly basis
and then assaulted with a "loaded hand"
the imaiiKpectlng priest. - Letter from
leading attorneys 1n Sioux City and nearby
Nebraska towns state the writers have
watched with Interest the movements of
Father Schell In his efTort to free the
tribe of Winnebago Indians In Nebraska
from the grip of the debauching element
along the reservation border, and ofTer
their services free to assist the priest in
his fight. Letters from federal officers
deplore the murderous attack by the In
dieted liquor dealer and urge his vigorous
prosecution.
"It seems almost like the hand of provi
dence," remarked the priest with difficulty,
but smilingly through his unsightly and
Inexorable crescent of plaster parts, "and
my injury seems likely to redound to the
great advancement of the cause I have
taken up. I will of course, avail myself
of the aid proffered. I' feel that the back

In premotlng a reform of the kind I am
working on, and which has been slow to

contest against the conspirators, who for
years have been ruthlessly robbing the
Winnebago Indians of their money and
lands. The champion of these helpless
Indians realises that his fight Is not fin
ished. Notwithstanding his cheery, opti
mistic nature, Father Schell Is never so
sanguine that he leaves his guard down
while there is Indication of a fight. This
statement may seem refuted by the as
sault which prostrated him, but then there
was no promise of a fight and the victim
stood with both hands burled deep in the
pocket- of his fur coat when Lambert
hit him.
New avenues of strife have been opened
by the recent decision of the United States
supreme court that the selling of liquor to
an Indian who has received his allotment
from the government Is not a violation of
a federal statute. At first blush this ruling
appears to undo much of Father Schell'.

CHICAGO, April 2a.-The high prices of
cattle In the Chicago market and the af
fairs and probability of their going higher
has Interested the Canadian ranchmen to
such an extent that they have ent a
delegation to Chicago to arrange to ship
cattle from the Alberta range to the Ill
inois murket. - This decision, according to
Mr. A. L. Brooks of Glvlchen, Alberta, wa
nrced upon them by the action of the
Canadian .buyers of live stock, who have
formed a ring closer than anything cVer
charted against American packers. Ac
cording to Mr. Brooks, live stock In West
ern Canada is never bought by weight;
the buyer merely looking at the cattle
and making an offer of a lump sum, which
the seller can take or leave, as he pleases,
'In Calgary, where 1 sell," stated Mr.
Brooks yesterday, "are three buyers rep
resenting Pat Burns, Gordon & Ironsides,
nd another smaller firm. If I go to any
one of these buyers he openly tells me
ho must consult the other two before he
can make me an offer. Then he goes to
the telephone,' rings them up and I have
to stand by while they are agreeing on
how much they will give me for my cat
tle. If I do not sell to them I cannot
sell to anybody else, but If I can only
arrange to ship to Chicago I feel sure that
with the present high prices I shall be
able to nmke a very tidy thing of my
business in spite of the fact that the
United Stutes levies a duty of 20 per cent
on every animal that Is imported."
Convinced by Investigation.
Mr. Brooks has spent a month In Chi
cago investigating the conditions of the
market and has come to the conclusion
that If cattle can be shipped in trainload
lots from Alberta they can be landed in
Chicago at a price which will enable him
to sell them at to per 100 pounds and still
make S10 a head clear profit more than he
would make If he sold In Cunuda.
The revolt of the Canadian rancher has
been long brewing. In 1903, when cattle
in Chicago were on the downward grade
and were lower than they had been at any
time since 1899, George Lane of High
River, Alberta, shipped an experimental
carload to Chicago; also the same year,
Spencer Brothers, who run a ranch at
Coots, Alebrta, began a steady stream o
shipments, which they have kept up to
the present time. Both Lane nnd Spencer
Brothers were so pleased 'with the prices
they obtained that they spread the good
news among the ranchmen of the Cana
dian northwest; the result , was a delega
tlon, which, headed by Mr. Brooks, ha
Just completed its investigation into the
American market.
Rise of Pat Barns.
The cattle industry " has, according to
Mr. Brooks, undergone some sensational
changes within the last Ave or six years,
The small butcher has been replaced by
the large abattoir, Canadian packers, not
only In killing, but In retailing their meats,
Pat Burns, who la known as the "cattle
king," lives in a castle at Calgary. Every
piece of furniture In the building he lm
ported direct from a famous Englis
house; importing also the decorators who
made the mansion equal to any royal pal
nee Jn the world ' wkii .miiu.ji,y

read his letters to him. Ten years ago
he was chasing a steer, which represented
ni sole worldly wealth, across the Cana.

wun Aictt-enaie & Mann, who were then
the railway contractors employed by the
Canadian Pacific railway and who are now
Duuaing the Canadian Northern, which i
to compete with the Canadian Paciuc rail
-" 4,o utrvuiitt-u wit; contract no
body knows, but It gave him exclusive right
to rurnisn rresn meat to the construction
camps over some 300 miles of railroad
Burns went to the Bank of Montreal, laid
nis contract before the manager and bnr.
rowed the necessary money to enable him
to mi nis terms. With a start thus ob
talned he built an abattoir, bought ranches
ana Dutcher shops and now owns Derson
ally all the retail meat markets In the
territories of Alberta, British Columbia
and the Klondike. He controls absolute
the wholesale and retail meat trade of a.
territory exceeding 360,000 square miles. Th
territory which he controls hus increased
more than fivefold in five years, growing
up bu mat mat it l. almost impossible to
compute the percentage.
Calgary In Cirowlnat.
Calgary, where Bums makes his head
quarters, is a town of about 11,000; in
1003 it had but S,0K) people. With the
growth of his business Burns' desire for
mora business has also grown, so the
rancners declare.
iirsi ne was willing to pay big
pncoE, says Mr. brooks, "but now we
cannot get him to consider anything we
nave to oner worth moro than 3 cents per
pound. As the Canadian steers we have
to sell will average 1,100 to 1.200 pounds,
making them among the choicest beef cat
tle raised on the American continent, and
the cows fetched into Chicago last week
brought 15.60 per hundredweight, we feel
xnat we are being kept out of a consider
able proportion of our legitimate earnings.
At any rate we Intend to start shipping
in July to the Chicago market and may
also experiment with the St. Taul, Sioux
tuy ana umatia yards."
andevllle at the Crelahtnn-Orpheum.
A bill that Is uniformly good opened the
week at the Orpheum yesterday, filling the
theater to Its fullest cnpaclty at both per-
formancej. Delia Fox Is the ar.tr of the
bill, and well deserves the Importance given
her. She sings three songs that are pop
ular and well renderedv and moves about
with the dnsn ana cnic mai mm
marked her in comic opera. Her song
from "Wang" was so loudly applauded
esterday that she had to repeat It. An
other of the singls-handed performers
who made a real hit Is George W. Day,
whose comeVly and melody are enhanced
by his own funny way of doing or saying
amusing things. He has a lot of good
stuff and Is very liberal In dispensing it.
Harry Jackson and Mabel Bardlne do a
very entertaining little comedy. "Between
7 and 9," a family affair that Is full of
laughter nnd little home touches. One of
he most unique act ever offered I. Paul
Powell's Marionettes. This patient man
has worked out a number of uncommonly
lurge figures for the purpose, nnd with
them presents a number of most life-like
movements, mainly dances, copying well
known presentations exactly. The Are
dance is really wonderful In Its Imitation
of life, and is beautifully illuminated. A
fine transformation scene closes the act.
Introducing a fountain with many Jets of
water, which are effectively lighted up.
The De Onzo brothers are the kings of
Jumpers, and have added to their barrel
tricks a number of movements of extraor
dlnary difficulty, which are accomplished
with such grace a. to make them appear
easy. Miss Sailor and Mr. Barbaretto sing
each a solo and close with a duo, "The
Girl with the Changeable Eyes," and are
well received. Ascot, Eddy & Co., are
billed as "comedy acrobats," but hardly
live up to the announcement. The kino
drome has some new pictures, one Bcrles,
The Convict," being decidedly realistic,
A special matinee will be given on

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.. April 23.
Joseph Jefferson died at 8:15 tonight after
being unconscious all day. At his bedside
when he died were his wife and two of his
sons, Charles B. and Frank JefTerron, Mr.
Nellie Symons, his nurse. Miss Mabel
Bingham, Dr. R. B. Potter and his faith
ful old servant, Carl Kcttler. The remains
will leave Palm Beach Monday night on a
special train for Butiards Bay, Mas?.., ac
companied by all the members of the fam
ily who are here.
The end was not a surprise to his fam
ily. Ever since his last sinking spell, which
came after a rally on Thursday morning
and was followed by an apparent Improve
ment until Friday, the family has been
waiting for the end. Mr. Jefferson's con
dition Saturday night grew steadily
worse, and the family, who had retired,
were summoned from their beds and Dr.
Potter was cnlled. The patient's condi
tion continued to grow Worse all through
today nnd the brief bulletins from the
bedside contained no words of encourage
ment. The sickness of Mr. Jefferson, which
ended "in his death, was contracted, it Is
believed, while on a recent visit with his
son, Charles B. Jefferson.ent Hope Sound,
a few miles above Talm Beach, where he
went to meet his friend, former President
Cleveland. It Is believed that from a slight
indiscretion In his eating he suffered an
attack of indigestion. Slnee his return
to his home his condition grew worse with
slight rallies until the end.
Sketch of III Career.
Joe Jefferson sprang from a family of
actors and was born February 20, 1829. In
the year 1749 Thomas Jefferson was a co
median of rank at the old Drury Lane
theater of IiOndon, and subsequently man
ager of a playhouse In Richmond, Eng
land. This Thomas JefTerson was the
son, If not the grandson, of an actor, and
It was a son of this Thomas who estab-
Ilshed the line of Jeftersons In this coun
try. His name was Joseph, and he came
to this country at the age of 21,' arriving
one year before that mighty Instrument of
another Jefferson declared the separation
of the colonics from the mother country.
Appearing first In public In Boston and
subsequently iln New York, this Joseph
Jefferson finally settled in Philadelphia,
where he won a fame very similar to that
enloyed by his grandson of our day. Like
that grandson he was a comedian.
The father of our Joseph, also named
Joseph, was an actor, though he attained
only a respectable place as personator or
old men and Indeed died at the compar
atively early age of 38, when our Joseph
was 13. Since there Is a son of our Jo-
seph of the same name on the stage at
present there have been four generations
of Joseph Jeftersons before, the public of
America since 17!16. The record Is without
parallel in the annals of the stage of
America.
Progress I Steady.
Young Jefferson's progress In his art was
slow but steady, and before he was 17
he had acted In support of the elder Booth,

his own resources, and with only a few
aonars in his pocket, young Jefferson, with
a fellow actor, opened a stall for the sale

gambling hell. The profits of this venture
were large and the partners saw a fortune

that this supreme recognition was obtained
in me perrormance of a single part, that
