IOWA'S PROHTBITORY LAW.
BlOodshed and Case of Probably Fatal Shoot
ing Follows an Attempt at Enforcement

Dies MONIES. Ia, May S.-The first blood
shed over the attempted enforcement of the new
prohioitory law occurred in Des Moines yester-
day a constable named Pierce repaired to
South Des Moines with warrant to search the
premises of Nym Wyatt. who runs billiard
hall His efforts were rewarded by the discov-
cry of small keg of beer in the cellar, which
he seized and carried to the floor above Here
Mrs. Wyatt took hold of the keg and attempted
to recover possession of 1t, when Pierce drew
heavy revolver her. Harry Lloyd, en-
ployed upon the premises, struck down his arm
The two men thereupon became engaged in
struggle which did not end until they had tum-
bled out of doors and rolled down an embank.
ment, the officer alighting on top. when he put
his pistol against Lloyds body and fred follow
ing this up with terrific blow on the head with
the revolver. The ball struck rib and glanced,
following it around nearly to the spine, where il
lodged and was extracted. The wound is proba-
bly, fatal After the shooting Pierce hastily re-
treated to Des Moines. where he was arrested
and placed in jail Great excitement followed,
and large crowd surrounded the courthouse
and freely talked of lynching. Forty armed
men guarded the Jail all night, and the militia
We're kept under arms. 1t is thought that Pierce
is slightly demented. He has made many enc.

IN THE INTEREST OF WHISKY.

Proposed Special Legislation to Extend the
Bonded Liquor Period-An Old Scheme.
Washington Special.
It's not generally understood that the ways
and means committee has reported bill in
definitely extending the bonded whisky period.
1t is called the Anderson bill, and proposes os-
tensibly to set up special warehouses for dis
titled liquors. But the real point of the bill is
that liquors may remain in these warehouses for
any length of time, and the internal revenue tax
is not obliged to be paid until the liquors are
taken out to be sold In addition, the taxes are
not to be levied upon the amount of liquor put
into the warehouse, but only on the whisky with
drawn, go that the owner will not lose by evapor-
alton or leakage. The bonded whisky period is
now three years, and, since 1882, the whisky in
terest has been trying in Congress and by the
decisions of the Treasury Department to have it
extended indefinitely. as this bill provides Con-
gress has hitherto refused this relief
Attorney general Brewster, by a generally
condemned opinion, gave some relief, but when
another application III the same line was made
to Mr.. Manning it was refused. Now the
whisky men are making still further efforts,
and through the influence of Breckenridge. OF
Kentucky, the ways and means committee has
lent itself to the scheme. But it will be found
quite another thing to get the bill through Con-
gress, for the Republicans, and many OF the
Democrats will again resist this special legisla-
ton in favor of the whisky interest. and PROB
ably defeat il as they did before.
Congressman John D. Longs maiden speech
two years ago had decided influence for this
result and he will be expected again to lead the
opposition to tho whisky extension bill

TROUBLESOME INDIANS.
The Sioux at Rosebud Agency Successfully
Defy the Agent and the Indian Police.

VALENTINE. Neb., May 8-Settlers at the
Rosebud agency are uneasy because of the diff
Guilty that occurred three days ago, in which it
was demonstrated to them that the Indians are
in power, and can do as they wish. Major
Wright, the agent, discovered party of Indians
living on land he declared to be unfit for cultiva-
ton. He ordered them to move on tillable land
or forfeit their farming implements. The Indians
positively refused. and appeared at the agency
in force and demanded their implements. saying
they would take them by force Guns and
knives were drawn, and the police appeared, but
were defed by the Indians, and found them
selves entirely powerless. The agent was seized,
but some of the older Indians interfered, and
the agent gave up the implements. The agent
then forced to give the Indians feast of a
barrel of sugar and other provisions in proper
ton. OF the %, 900 Sioux Indians who are
located on the reservation north of the
Nebraska line, at least one-half are
stationed at Rosebud agency. Up to
the death of Spotted Tail, who was killed by
Crow Dog, the old cheftain was the controlling
power for good among the Sioux nation. His
assassination, five years ago. widened the breach
between the two factions, the one being for
peace and the other for trouble Since that
time the condition OF affairs at Rosebud has not
been favorable to peace and quiet The northern
frontier of Nebraska is protected by two mill
tary posts Fort Niobrara and Fort Robinson,
the former being the nearer to Rosebud from
which it is distant sixty miles.

Private Pension Bills

WASHINGTON, May S.-The President has ve-
toed two private pension bills One, which is for
the increase of a widows pension, is vetoed on
the ground that the general law would give the
increase from the date of its passage, while the
special act gives it only from date about two
menths later Tho immediate reason for the
other veto is mistake in the name of the bene-
fciary. In it the President takes occasion to
state his views with regard to the subject of
special legislation by Congress. He cannot see
that congressional committee has better facili-
ties for examining pension claims than the bu-
reau created for the purpose, and suggests that
if it has better facilities the law should be
changed; or if it is found that the bureau is un-
just in its action. the organization should be
changed. The President has signed eiehty-one
out of 240 private pension bills

A curious evasion of the payment Of duty on
imported wool was reported to the Treasury De-
partment to- day. A flock of sheep was driven
across the Mexican border and duty assessed on
them as live stock. They then sheared and
the wool placed on the market without having
been subjected to duty. This arrangement re-
suited in saving of about so per cent. in the
matter of duty alone.

sent to the House of Representatives for quite
a number of years who could not make ST. 900 a
year at their home to save their lives, and who,
in fact, were very obscure men before they were
sent to Congress- Upon investigation it is found
that each of these men was selected as a COM

that he had Rugged the girls, but with no nten-

cited where the minister kissed the girls and

taken before a committee of mature married

MILITARY RECORDS.
A Halt in the Business of Strengthening the
Records of Soldiers.

Records of Soldiers.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, May Notwithstanding the
very many adverse reports made on bills to re-
move the charge of desertion against the mill
tary records of soldiers who did not live up to
the requirements in the late war, bills continue
to pour into the House committee on military
affairs, looking to the end OF Correcting" the
blotch against these reckless soldiers A mem
Der of the committee tells me that not more
than one bill in fifty receives affirmative action,
and that there is feeling which
has been growing for years, that Congress should
not remove the charge against the military rec
ord of any soldier because it is very similar to
reversing the action of court-martial. and it is
surely similar to general overturning of the
action of department in matters relating to
more serious affairs. The soldiers throughout
the country who were so unfortunate
as to commit some freak which made
an irregularity in their military records,
and which prevents them from securing pen
sion may as well content themselves with their
present condition because the chances of secur-
ing correct military records have dwindled down
to about the same proportion as the chances of
drawing the capital prize in a lottery. Congress
has concluded in other words. that it will not
interfere with the action of officers who are au-
thorized to pass upon matters in the army and

The Gladstone Resolution.

Washington Special.
1t is not at all likely that the Gladstone
resolution will get back from the foreign rela-
tions committee into the House. 'sThe Ameri-
can Congress has no business with any such
resolution" said a member of the committee
yesterday. I'm the first place, it took Gladstone
a whole day to explain his scheme, and the En-
glsh people have been seven weeks trying to I'M
derstand it, without success. Yet we are asked
to step in and express our approval of it. 1t
would be just as appropriate for us to pass this
resolution as for the English Parliament to pass
a resolution approving the Morrison bill I'm
doubtedly there are large number of the mem
bers of that Parliament in sympathy with Mr.
Morrison, but if they should undertake to ex
press that sympathy in official way think
we should be inclined to tell them to attend to
their own business"
