today. Is a hitherto unknown species of
otocyon, to which officials of the scientific
organisation have given the name of Ver-
gatua. It Is a small carnlverous mammal
closely resembling a fox.
The otocyon vegatua Is generally buff in
color, and It has been found by Mr. Ger

slightly from the otocyort megaiotls, which
la found farther south In Africa, especially
In color and In the characteristics of its
teeth and skull. The otocyon Is peculiar
to Africa and is not represented In the
United States. The skull of thla new form
closely resemble that of th gray fox of

Council Bluffs
COUNCIL WILL NOT APPEAL
Not Enough, in licenses to Fight
Dairymen.
ALL COWS MUST BE INSPECTED
Another Meetlaac Arranged with
Street Hallway Company la Effort
to Rrsaee Grade oa
Avenue A.
The city council last night decided not to
appeal from the decision of Judge Snyder
of the superior court in the pure milk
ordinance case, In which the court held
that tiie city had not the right to require
dairymen and milk dealers to pay for a
license from the municipality to sell milk.
It was shown that the expense of taking
the case to the supreme court would be In
excess of the revenue derived from such
licenses. City Solicitor Kimball, on mo
tion of Councilman . Morgan, was directed
to draft an amendment to the ordinance
eliminating the license feature.
Although the council decided to eliminate
the license provision of the pure milk ordi
nance, dairymen and milk dealers will bu
required to secure a permit from the city"
clerk before being permitted to sell, and
this permit will not be Issued to any
dairyman or dealer who does not comply
with tho other provisions of the ordinance,
such as having his cows given the tuber
culin test and hla buildings and equipment
kept in a sanitary and cleanly condition.
Street Railway Agreement.
Another effort will be made to come to
some agreement with the Omaha A Council
Bluffs Street Railway company relative to
bringing the company's tracks on Avenue
A to grade, and Councllmen Jensen, Bell
Ingor and McMillen were appointed a com
mittee by the mayor to confer with the
company. This was done at the sugges
tion of City Solicitor Kimball and City
Engineer Etr.yre, who submitted the fol
lowing report:
Your city engineer and city solicitor have
had a conferenoe wltn Mr. R. A. Leussler.
secretary Of the Omaha and Council Bluffs
street uallway and Bridge company and
Mr. Emmett Tlnley, counsel to the com
pany, relative to a suit to compel tne said
company to bring their tracks to grade on
Avenue A west of Eighteenth street in
the city. The said company has signed a
stipulation with the solicitor agreeing to
appear and answer to a petition filed In
such case during the January term of
saia court ana on or Derore the 1st day of
February.
Your engineer and solicitor believe, how
ever, that there are some matters that can
perhaps be agreed upon between the city
and the company which will simplify such
action and perhaps render the same un
necessary If the company will act upon
Buch agreement. We therefore recommend
mat tne committee of the whole fix a time
for meeting tho representatives of the
company and having a conference with
tnem upon tne matter connected with the
change of the tracks to grade. . There are
some places In this grade where It would
appear that a modified grade for the tracks
snoiua De adopted east of Twentieth street
and there are other matters which vour
engineer and solicitor think may be agreed
upon to tne advantage of Doth the city
and the company.
We therefore request that the committee
of the whole meet such representatives
some time during th coming week and go
over the situation.
Bllla to be Paid.
In accordance with the opinion of the city
solicitor, that the .firm was entitled to the
compensation, the) council ordered the bill
of Harl A Xlnjey,' Epeclal counsel in the
municipal water Wrorks litigation, for $1,260.
paid, and the autitor was directed to draw
a warrant for the amount.
The National Bridge company, In a com
munication to the council claimed royalties
of $769.20 on the North Eighth street bridge
and $500. on the Benton street bridge, claim
ing the use by the city of its patents in
the construction of these bridges. The
claim was referred to the city engineer and
city fcollcltor.
Fearing that In the event of a sudden
thaw the present Ice gorge at the Eighth
street bridge over Indian creek might re
sult In seriou damage, the city engineer
was directed to'notIfy the contractor for
the new bridge, E. A. Wickham, to remove
the present structure at once In case of
danger from this source.
The council adjourned to Thursday after
noon, at which time it will assess up re
cently completed sidewalks and paving.

MEXICAN ROADS "UNFAIR"
Runior that t'nlou Men Will Refuse

EL PASO, Tex., Jan. 4. The Torreon,
Mexico, Enterprlsn says: The coming trou
ble between the National railways of Mex
ico and their American employes, which Is
expected to culminate on January 15, may
result in a complete tie-up of trnfflc at
the American border.
The Mexican railways may sever their
connections with American railroads on
that date, because of liability to arrest
and prosecution by the Mexican courts,
the men will not declare a strike, but there
Is no law that prevents a man from resign
ing who Is not under ccntract.
American unions in the l.'nlted States, It
Is s&ld. will declare the Mexican railways
to be "unfair," and tie them up by not
allowing engineers, firemen, conductor or

FEDERAL EMPLOYES
MUST PRODUCE RESULTS
Secretary Wilson Make New Order
In Reference to Outside Work
of Clerk. v
WASHINGTON. Jan. 4. "Produce results
for the government before devoting part
of your talents to outside Interests," was
the direction given by Secretary of Agrl
culture Wilson today at a conference of
the buerau chiefs of his department. About
1,000 of what are known In the service as
htudent employes, mostly located In Wash
ington, but many scattered throughout the
country, are affected.
Secretary Wilson says he has no dispo
sition to interefere with the heads of the
bureau thernselves, for he holds them di
rectly responsible for high standards ex
pected from their bureaun. Nor does he
intend to stop the low salaried employes,
uch as -those who receive say from $003
to $.-:09, but he feels that when the govern
ment spends time and money training em
ployes In Its eclentlflc work and advances
them to salaries of $1,400, $1,600 and up
wards, it should have full return.
It Is to these that the qrery "has a
clerk the right to do as he pleases in work
after his regular hours?" will apply.
Secretary Wilson appointed a committee
to consider and report on the subject.

the same man, but the Council Bluffs
police believe them to be different and
have no record of Jackson under an alias,
and say he was not in a dying condition
when released.
