morning from the rare disease known us
elephantiasis after an Illness of sixteen
years, aged 49 years. She leaves besides

Mrs. Mallory waa a member of St. John's
English Lutheran church and services were
conducted yesterday afternoon at the famr
lly home by Rev. O. W. Snyder after which
the body was taken .to Athens, Pa., tor
burial.
Mrs. Mallory'a case was said to be one
of only two or three of similar character
known In this oountry, although the di
sease la not uncommon In tropical countries,
Because of this fact her case was the ob
ject of much Interest among medical men
and In September, 1908, at her own Bug
gestlon she submitted to examination by
doctors in attendance at a meeting of the
Medical society of the Missouri valley held
In this city In the hope that by so doing
she might assist In the study of a disease
which has baffled the skill of physicians
and which has so far been regarded as In
curable. When four years ago she found
that her case waa hopeless and that she
was doomed to a life of suffering until
death would release her Mrs. Mallory ac
cepted the situation with Christian fortl
tude.
An Incident of Mrs. Mallory'a long illness
was her close friendship with Mrs. Annie
E. Lynch of McKecsport, Pa., who suf
fered from the same disease' and died In
July of last year. The two women never
met, but for several years carried on a
correspondence. Their acquaintance began

UK MILK Oltll .C'H
toart Will ProhaMr lllt That
I.I-
eense Feature la Vulil.
There Is one feature of the pure milk
ordinance which Judge Snyder is expected
to rule against and that Is the provision
requiring the dulrymen and milk dealers
to take out a license. Although Judge
Snyder will not hanu down his decision In
the test case recently tried before him In
ths superior court until after the close of
the trial of (l.e suit of O. J. McManus
against the Chicago Great Western Rail
way company now occupying his atten
tion, he has intimated that he will hold
this provision of the ordinance Invalid.
"I do not think the city has the right
to enforce such a measure as this license,"
sold Judge Snyder yesterday, "but the city
has the right to require the dairymen to
have their cows tested and to have their
dairies and equipment inspected by a duly
authorized officer. I am In doubt as to
the right of the t-lty to compel the milk
dealers and dairymen to take out a li
cense any mor than It would have the
right to require grocers, butchers or other
merchants to take out a license to se.ll
their different lines of goods. I expect
to rule on this test case as soon as the
suit nov on trial Is concluded."

Addition to rioone Roundhouse.
BOONE, la.. Dec. 17. (Spedal.)-The Chi
cago & Northwestern Railway company at
this time is engaged In a big piece of work
In this city, about which little has been
said or written. The company has the
work marly completed, a few more days
being required to put on the finishing
touches.
Some time ago the Northwestern Rail
way company purchased a great many new
ight engines, regular monsters, called
Hie "class K" engines. These were so big
thoy could not get into the new round
house, or rather a portion of them could
not get In, the tail end of the engine stick
ing out In the cold and wet. The company
at once gave Instructions to have some en
larging done. A force of men Immedi
ately was put to work on the roundhouse.
The men had Instructions to build an addi
tion of twelve feet clear around the houhe,
so that the engines would be entirely un
der coverv This la the work that Is pro
gressing so rapidly. Tho new addition is
badly needed and the shopmen will be glad
when It is completed.
Aside from the enlarging of the new
house some other repairs aro being made.
The place hasn't been as warm as the em
ployes would like in the winter. Accord
ingly a force of men is at work "warming"
up the place. The house la being lined
with heavy paper, floors are being put
down where netdttd and otherwise the placu
la being rejuvenated. When finished the
Northwestern company will have as com
plete a roundhouse as there is on the
system.

BEDFORD, la.. Dec. 17. (Speclal.)-In
case the hidden fortune, which It Is sup
posed Harvey Lucas of Des Moines left
when he died a short time ago, is dis
covered, Mrs. Joseph.Iitchell of Bedford,
who says she Is Lucas' sister, will make a

Just before he died Lucas Is alleged to
havo said that he had wealth of a value
of $100,000 hidden In his home, and that It
should be turned over to his nephew, S. S.
Llppert of Des Moines. Since Lucas died
the search for the money has been pushed,

story that it exists Is given credence by
the finding of hiding places where the
treasure had apparently been kept at one
time. Until Mrs. Mitchell announced her
relationship, Llppert was supposed to bo
the nearest living relative.

TO TAX OMAnA INDIAN LANDS
Bill to Be Drafted for Relief of Thurs
ton County.
UNUSUAL SITUATION OF AFFAIRS
Only Small Proportion of Property 1
Now A .mewed Mr. Burkett Intro
duce Bill to Enlnrue Lin
coln Bulldln.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON. Pec. 17.-(Speclal Tele
gram.). -Senator Brown said today there
would undoubtedly be a preliminary report
on th part of the special commission now
Invcytlgating the competency of the Omaha
Infans to manage their own affairs and
to whom patents shall issue on their lands.
The Junior fc-nator stated that Messrs.
Gannon and Kecfe, who are repreHenting
the Omaha Indian Reservation Improve
ment association, have made a decided Im
pression upon Commissioner of Indian Af
fairs Valentine and hla law advisors and
that their argument in favor of early ac
tion were almost conclusive. He was of
the opinion that the preliminary report
would show at least 150 Indians or white
men holding life estates through marrlagi.
with Indians wholly competent to manage
their lands In event of patents being issued
to them.
Senator Burkett today reintroduced his
Orr.aha Indian claims bill, but with somo
modifications. This action was taken after
a conference with Commissioner Valentine
and was prepared largely at the Instance
of the law officer of the department. But
one. vital clause is changed over the Burk
ett bill of last session and that Is that
petition of claimants shrill be verified by
an attorney to be appointed by the Indian
tribe and confirmed by the secretary of the
Interior,
Mr. Burkett's old bill recognized an at
torney appointed by the tiibe, but the de
partment thinks such attorney should no;
be recognized at ihls time, hence the
change. The ntw bill provides that the
attorney' fees shall be allowed by court
as seems reasonable, hut in no case shall
the allowance be in excess of the amount
provided for by agreement between tho
Ir.dlans and their nttorrey.
Bill to Tax I.nnda.
Messrs. Gannon and Kec-fe, who have
been in conference with the Indian office
since their arrival In Washington, have
been persistent In urging upon Commis
sioner Valentine the necessity of passing
some bill taxing the Omaha Indians.' They
have pounded away along these lines until
the Indian office has finally given It
sanction to a tentative measure looking
to these ends. There Is no other tribe of
Indians in the l.rlted Htates exactly so
situated, so fur as their lands are con
cerned a the Omahas. A twenty-five year
trust period was granted them, which
period terminated a short while ago. Fur
ther extension of ten yean was granted
under prcullar conditions. In the mean
time, Thurston county, In which the Omaha
agency Is located, has been handicapped
by Its inability to collect taxes sufficient
to make Improvements in th roads and
bridge absolutely necessary, end it face
bankruatcy unless some portion of Indian
lands shall pay taxes. As long as the
government exercises guardianship ovnr
these Indians, Thurston county could imt
ask that the Indians pay taxes. But now
that the trust period ha expired and
many of th Indian of th Omaha tribe

are going to be given their patents, the
white people of the county Insist that the
Indians shall bear their proportion of cost
of Improvements needed In that growing
community.
An anomolous condition exists In Thurs
ton county whose parallel Is not found In
any other Indian reservation throughout the
country. Sc.mc of the land on the Omaha
reservation will be held for several years
by white men enjoying life estates, while
some of the Indian patented land would
be subject to taxation. The department,
realizing this most peculiar situation, it
is understood, has taken the position that
if one piece of land Is taxed on the Omuha
reservation all lands ought to be taxed,
and as a result a bill ha been drafted
which will probably be introduced on Mon
day making provision for some general
taxation plan to govern the Omaha reser
vation. Lamer Building; for Lincoln.
Senator Burkett today Introduced a bill
appropriating G.r0,000 to enlarge and extend
the postoffice ard court house at Lincoln.
He said he was actuated in this by the
fact that the government wa looking re
cently for rooms In which to locate certain
brunches of the postoffice service In the
present postoffice building and was con
fronted by the fact that the. building lu
now overcrowded and In consequence thu
rooms desired could not bo had.
When Mr. Burkett secured the original
appropriation for the present federal build
ing he realized that the Lincoln postoffice
would not be large enough in a few years
to take care of the growing business of
the postotfice. With Supervising Architect
Taylor plans were made so that the build
ing could be enlarged to three times its
piesent size by building an addition to the
west and covering the rest of the block on
which it stands.
