gram to THE BEE. IA warrant has been
issued on behalf of the congregation of St.
ST. Adelbert's (Polish) parish for the arrest
of G. II. Nowak OF Mount Pleasant, Pa,
vice censor of the Polish National alliance.
on q charge of appropriating to his own use
$500 of the funds Of the congregation. The
offense constitutes grand larceny In the first
degree. Some time ago the money In ques-
ton was subscribed by the congregation for
the purpose of sending two delegates to
Rome to ask the pope to interfere in the
difficulty pending between the Pensioners
aud Bishop Ryan with regard TO the re-
moval Of their priest, Father Klawltter.
MIR. Nowak and Father CichOcki OF Pitts
burg were the delegates selected. Minis
terial duties prevented the priest from un.
dertaking the journey and the duty was left
to Mr.. Nowak. No word OF any kind was
received from Rome and suspicion WAS
aroused that Mr.. Nowak had not started.
A messenger was sent to his home in Mount
Peasant. where Mr.. Nowak was found. He
claims that the money was lost on account
of a transaction between him and Father
Klawitter. The parish then decided to
prosecute hm. A meeting of the parish
toner's was held last night and IL was decided
to send another delegate 20 Rome.

Jews About the Reservation.


NIoBRARA, Neb., Feb. 2l.-[Special TO
THE BEE. The Sioux reservation has been
open for eleven days. and from the day of
its opening a steady flow of new settlers has
been the result. Most of these settlers have
been ON the outskirts for the past year, and,
while they are not in sufficient numbers to
take the entire reservation, there is a goodly
number and they are taking early advantage
of the opening. Many inquiries are received
regarding the country. IT is too early for
anyone to risk the uncertainty of spring
weather. and the president displayed wise
judgment when he declared 1t open without
specifying any date, as tue bad state of
affairs such as that ut Oklahoma will not
exist here. A number of men from abroad
are here looking up Niobrara for a location.
Aside from the STIR consequent to new com
ers. business is otherwise dull. BY another
month we expect a large inilux of emigrants,
as Niobrara and Knox county has been ex-
tensively advertised In the east by the Chi
