Ihe Nebraska Congressional Delegation
Confers With the IsAisss.
Omaha Agency. July 27.-{By oour.
Ter to Fender, Eeb. Hardly had the
congressional delegation with an escort
Of nearly 100 citizens Of Pender, after
a ride Of twenty-five miles across
Thurston county, entered the confines
Of Captain Beck's reservation, when
Deputy Marshal B0ehme swooped
down on William E PEBBLES and John
+. Meyers. placing them under arrest
as conspirators against the government
Captain Beck said he proposed to exc.
cute the laws as he found them. He
wanted it distinctly understood that
he was responsible for the agency and
the wards of the government.
The warrant also included John p.
Lennon, president Of the Flournoy
Company. and George s. Harris. who
were not present At the conference with
the Indians The warrant charges the
men with conspiracy 70 oppose the
government Of the United States by
force. and that to effect the object Of
the conspiracy they armed 200 farmers
and sent them on the reservation TO re-
sist the properly constituted United
States legal authority.
PEBBLES said this action was entirely
in keeping with the policy Of Captain
Beck ever since he came to the agency,
and that he would appear before Judge
Londrosh, Of WinDebago precinct, and
waive examination TO the United States
district court.
Senator Allen opened the council by
stating through an interpreter that
when he WAS here month ago he said
he would visit them again and talk
with them fully with reference to their

by the commission. A number OF In.

RIVERS AND HARBORS
Annual Report of Captain
Symons Made Public.
THE WORK DONE TWO STATES
Improvements in the Navigsble Bays
Of Oregon and ON Puget Sound

Washington, July 27.-Captain T.
w. Symons. in charge Of the river and
harbor improvements of the Northwest,
including the states Of Oregon, Wash.
ingtOn and Idaho, has filed his report
for the last fiscal year to the chief Of
engineers. The report covers about
twenty projects. many of them quite

Dor, e9s, 59S WAS spent during the year

jetty tramway 70 its full length Of TO-.
1856 feet The construction of the jetty
has already had a marked effect on the
entrance channel, maintaining it in
fixed position and with bar depth Of
from eighGeen to twenty-one feet.
Captain Symons thinks the plan for
the improvement Of Coos bay should be
changed SO as TO prepare for vessels Of
greater draught than those originally
contemplated. as the improvement at
the entrance will make it possible for
larger vessels 70 enter the bay.
On Yaquina bay, s37.054 was ex-
pended in maintaining bar depth and
location of channel, which was salts.
factorily done.
At Olympia harbor, channel 200
feet wide and feet deep at low water
has been completed for the entire dis.
lance from deep water to Budd inlet,
in the southern inlet, limit Of the main
waterway at the south line of Second
street extended. As this is the south.
ern limit, the dredged waterwa. has
been enlarged into a basin for the con-
venience Of boats in turning. This
basin is 500 feet long and has an aver
age width Of $50 feet and an extreme
width Of 500 feet.
OF waterway connecting Puget sound
with lakes Union and Washington, the
plan of this improvement coptemplates
the construction of ship canal to con-
meet the waters of the Lakes with Puget
sound. A preliminary survey was
made under the appropriation Of 1890,
and the work Of the past season was
devoted 10 the verification of the sur
veys in preparation for securing the
right of way. The work WAS not be-
gun until March last, and is still in
progress Captain Symons says that
the procurement of right of way is
work of considerable magnitude and
expense, and it is not possible to tell
when it will be accomplished.
Bids have been opened at the navy
department for certain Improvements
AT the Puget sound canal station. For
the construction of Office buildings and
officers quarters, and the lowest bids
were the Zindorf Construction Com.
pany, of Seattle, at $50, ssl. For
dredging the approaches to the chan.
mel, the lowest bidders were the New
York dredging Company. at IS rs
cents per cubic yard for the entire
work, and IS cents for limited guam
tity, with 6 2-S cents additional for ad-
ditional work. For an artesian well
and pumping plant, the only bidder
was Howard Joyln and J. n. Gibson,
of Seattle, at $3.50 for pumps, and for
the well $l00 for 100 feet; $500 for
200 feet; $3.50 for 500 feet, and IS. SO
for each additional foot up to 500 feet.

KEROSENE A REMEDY FOR LICE


"eeot.-Sore Of Young

A study Of the state reports ON wheat
shows that where the ground was we'll

start Last fall there are good yields Of
wheat even this year. Our reports
show that in the same township the
yields range from nothing up to thirty
bushels Of wheat per acre. Farmers
are wondering why this vast range of
yield in the same neighborhood, where
the kind Of land and amount of rain
fall are about the same.
A close study Of the figures shows
that the failure has come where the
ground was not in good condition at
time Of seeding. and where the seeding
was 20 Late that the plants were feeble
when winter set in. There was a
shortage in the supply of moisture, and
the farmer who was wise enough to
break his ground early and TO roll or
harrow it down promptly 20 Is to keep
all the soil moisture, had enough 70
give his wheat q prompt and Vigorous

had the vigor to resist largely the at

both of which seem to have done great
damage 70 the feebler wheat.

Kerosene for Lice.

TO keep them from the little chicks:
First. before setting q hen, we clean
out the nest box, and sprinkle the bot
toms and sides Of il inside with kero-
sene oil. Then we put in fresh straw
and the eggs. and 90 set the hen. But
We put no kerosene on the straw about
the eggs, and none ON the hen.
When the chickens are first Matched
we take the coop and sprinkle it with
kerosene just as we did the nest box.
Then We put some dry dust in the bot
tom OF it. We take the hen and rub
her shanks with a soft rag saturated
with the kerosene oil We also rub
her feathers under the neck-hackle,
about the roots Of the tail, and just a
little bit lightly under the wings, with
the rag filled with the odor of the oil.
but not heavily saturated or dripping.
We put kerosene and no lard or oil Of
any kind directly on the chickens In
fact we have never creased or oiled the
heads OF dozen young chickens in all
the days Of our life.
The sprinkling of the interior of the
coop with the kerosene once a week
thereafter will keep the brood free of
lice. The same precaution will pro-
tect the chickens after they are wean-
ed, 80 long as they roost in the .oop.
There is no question about kerosene
being the best remedy for lice and
mites, and in all our experience with
it we have never lost any chickens

nation

We find in special report OF the
commissioner of labor the latest statis-
tics relating to the phosphate industry
of the United States The report, says
the New York Sun, not only shows the
actual output Of our phosphate mines,
but estimates the period during which
the industry may be expected to con-
tinue
Carroll d. Wright, the commissioner
of labor, points out in his introduction
that the value of the discovery of phos-
pilates, from an agricultural view
point, cannot be overrated. Previously
to 1s4l the principal commercial fertil-
izer had been bone dust, but, in the
year named, guano was introduced from
the Chincha islands OF Peru and, ow~
ing to the greater solubility of this
commodity, the demand for it rapidly
increased. As time went on, however,
the inadequate and rapidly decreasing
supply of guano and bone dust led to
the active development of the phos-
phate industry in South Carolina in
1867 and in Florida some twenty-one
years later. In 1891, the last year for
