Special 10 The News.
NEWPORT, Feb. 6--There was short
but fiery meeting OF the City Council last
night, discussions being frequent and an
attempt to rush an ordinance through was
defeated. The first thing that caused
sturbance was the introduction OF an
ordinance giving the street commissioners
power TO hire his own clerk, but not 10
discharge him without the Councils per-
mission. There was talk OF the people
kicking and 1t being about time that the
city got commissioner who would
pay attention to his business. The
ordinance was passed by the Aldermen,
RON concurred in by the lower body and
finally lost. Then there were hot words
over the city condemning land Tor
street along the water front, many think
ing IL should be- done to relieve Thames
street, and the majority thinking the city
should widen the latter street, even III the
betterment act had to be brought into use.
The resolution was laid on the table. "A
resolution was passed for the purchase
of new revolvers for the police, the
Council probably thinking enough burg
lars had escaped, and one for the prepara-
tion OF laws governing the care OF side
walks by the city. Much routine business
was done and at 9:10 the meeting ad-
journed.
A Cold Day.
Yesterday was the most severe day ex-
registering at IL o'clock last night TWO
degrees above zero. The cold was accom-
panied with a piercing northerly WIND,
which made walking anything but COM
Portable. The wind prevented the steamer
General from making any trips after noon
and the New York boat did not come
down from Fall River last night. The
icemen are reaping harvest.

Rights and Gets in Prison.
CHAMBERLAIN, S. D., Jan. 25.-That the
female members of the Sioux nation are
advancing toward civilization cannot be
longer denied
1t is well known that it is custom airy
for the squaws to do all the manual
labor. such as gathering and chopping
the wood, caring for the ponies of the
warriors, keeping the tepee. or house,
in repair, etc, in addition to per-
forming the usual household duties,
but White Cow, a Sioux squaw,
decided to change the custom and is now
in jail in the western part of the state on
the charge of committing a murderous
assault on her husband.
With the evident intention of follow
ing the advice of her white sister she re-
fused to longer submit to the usual
drudgery imposed upon her by her LEG e
lord, and on being expostulated with
somewhat forcibly, flew into rage and
commenced to carve him with a knit e..

closely to prevent her carrying her wish

man came near freezing to death this
morning in making drive from Usage
City to Topeka
He was sent to Usage City last night
to see about some irregularity in the line
and did not get started back until this
morning early.
The severe cold was too much for him.
He had a team and buggy, and must
have been very cold long before he
reached Topeka. but he managed to keep
awake somehow, and did not suffer great
sas avenue, when he was seen to fall out
of the buggy. He was dragged some
distance. but some one who saw him
helped him into the buggy without real
izing how nearly he was frozen. He
drove on to Eighth street, where the
team was stopped and he was taken into
the transfer station. 1t is declared by
many who saw him that his jaws were set.
He was laid on bench in the transfer
station until the patrol wagon could be
called, when he was taken to the police
station and warmed up little before his
