cases will bo reported. The true facts
have not been given to the public and
the result is that the uususpecting peg
pie are liable to contract and spread the
disease. One lodging house, ON the
principal business street, with thirty in
mates, has been quarantined. An extra
number Of physicians were hired Friday
by the health board, which is empowered
by the mayor to spend all required sulrs
to overcome The disease.
The Peoples party started report
here that the quarantine had been pnt
on by Republicans to prevent them vot-
ing, but this is not true. The health
board will at once erect separate
house. The situation is alarming.

k3eneral Miles Talks About the Condition
of Cheyennes and Arapahoes.
! KANSAS CITY, Nov. 8.-General Me-
son A. Miles, accompanied by his fani y
and Captains Milcher and Maus of his
personal staff, has arrived in Kansas
City from the Indian Territory,
where General Miles has spent the last
three weeks investigating the condition
of the Indians. General Miles said:
After the most careful investigation
consider the condition of the Cheyennes
and Arapahoes such as to demand the
Intervention of the United States
authorities in order to prevent an out
break that looks almost like certainty.
These two nations sold their lands and
took their allotments early last summer.
Following close on this the government
reduced the rations of these Indians to
one-fourth of the original amount.
They cannot proftably cultivate tbs
lands they have selected. They havs
expended for food the money they re-
ceived from the sale of their lands. I
believe that before the winter is ended
the Cheyennes and Arapahoes will be in
need Of food and then an outbreak will
be more than probable.

Little Likelihood There Will Be Any Ma
terial Reduction.
ST.. PAUL, Nov. S.-A circular has
been sent from Chicago addressed to the
passenger department. of every railroad
in the United States, Canada and Mex
leo, requesting that representative be
sent to mass meeting of railroad men
to be held in the Auditorium hotel On
the 21st inst, to determine on basis Of
rates for the worlds fair and on methods
Of handling traffic. From what can be
gathered from various expressions of
opinion there appears to be strong dis
inclination to accord much, if any, re-
duction in the regular schedule of rates.
The railroads claim that in any event
they will have all the traffic they can
handle at the tariff rates, and fail to see
why they should make any reduction.
From present appearances it seems that
the utmost concession will be reduction
to one fare and a third on certain trains,
while all passengers on trains running
sleepers will be compelled to pay full
tariff rate. The meeting of the 21st
inst. will probably decide what the rul-
ing rate shall be-. " II: -,

Almost u Riot.

AMER1cUs, Kan, Nov. e.-The Re-
publican rally and flambeau club parade
held here Saturday night came near
winding up in general riot. The pa
rade was followed by an unruly mob Of
Populist and Democratic toughs, who
from jeering and hooting finally came
to throwing eggs and stones. j. p.
Eastman, chairman of the Republican
county committee, was literally plas-
tered with stale eggs and several of the
fambeau carriers received the same
treatment. Captain NJ. B. Wilcox was
struck in the back Of the head with a
large stone and was seriously injured.
The paraders finally turned on the mob
and two or three of the ringleaders
were roughly handled and beaten with
torches, after which they dispersed.

9s; Dean, III. Donnelly stands
at the foot averaging less than
four to a precinct so far as heard
from. Nelson's estimated plurality
in whole county, 7oo. The rest of
the state ticket will run about the
same. Non-partizan Judge Wells is
showed completely under. 1t is es-'
timated that Whytock will have
1900 majority in Mower and Free
born counties alone. Totals in this
county at hand, Wbytock, 1886;
Wells, $40. We shall give the off,
cial returns next week. Furlong,
Benner, Johnson, Seebach, Mollison,
Wood, Washburn, Catherwood and
Dinsmoor are elected and the county
rolls up a handsome majority for the
Republican congressional and state
and national tickets. On the ma
tional ticket the Democrats are
claiming the earth and want it
fenced in. 1t looks at the present
writing as if Cleveland was to be
our next President, but full returns
may yet change these claims. The
country is safe in any event.

the greatest strikes that England has
