OF A GREAT STATE
NEWS FROM ALL PARTS OF
NEBRASKA.
Omaha Indians Declare the Land
Leased by Mrs. Farley was OBJ
tanned by Fraud and Will be Re-
pudiated by the Tribe.
Omahas are Mad.

The large tract of Indian land that was
leased by Mrs. Rosaile Farley of Bancroft
from the alleged Omaha Indian council
about month ago, has created quite a
stir among that tribe. The following is a
copy of the remonstrance sent by them to
the Secretary of the Interior at Washing
ton, and signed by over 140 male members
of the tribe:
"Omaha Agency, April 90: Hon. II. R.
Smith, Secretary of the Interior: We, the
undersigned, Omaha Indians, are unal-
terably opposed to leasing any of our
tribal lands to Rosalie Farley, or any
other person. We desire that an i'm
mediate allotment be made of them. We
have heard lease has been made and
signed by some Omahas claiming to be
the Omaha council. The legal regular
council elected by the Omahas last sum-
mer knows nothing of it, and will re-
pudiate it. The Omaha Indians have not
been consulted in regard to the matter,
and look upon it as trick and fraud on
their tribe, and respectfully ask you not
to approve of any lease without giving
ample notice and call the whole tribe to-
gether to hear its wishes"
The lease which Mrs. Farley holds en-
titles her to II, 900 acres of some very fine
land near Bancroft, for a term of five
years.

generally condemns them. But strenuous
efforts are being made to prevent a
sweeping condemnation of the authorities
of Cape Colony and of the British Char
tered South Africa Company, other than
individuals whose names are included I'D
the documentary evidence.
The London Times in an editorial Cd
the subject says: at is impossible to ig-
more the gravity of the conclusion to
which the published kilograms point.
They establish beyond the possibility Of
q doubt that Hon. Cecil Rhodes, the then
premier of Cape Colony; Mr.. Alfred Belt,
q director in the British South Africa
Company, and Mr.. Rutherford Harris,
secretary of the British South Africa
Company, were priVy to the movement
against Johannesburg, and that the lead
ers of the movement counted upon their
help and countenance to insure its sue
cess.
''These kilograms must be taken to
prove that Mr.. Rhodes approved the revo-
luton which was desired in Johannes
burg, but nothing in the correspondence
goes to show that the actual crossing of
the frontier by DIR. Jameson, under the
circumstances under which it eventually
occurred, was known to Mr.. Rhodes or
carried out with his approval. The rea-
sons which actuated DR.. Jameson in

Brown Resigns.

The members of the First Congrega-
tional Church of San Francisco met to
consider the action of the Bay Conference
in suspending their pastor, Rev. c. o.
Brown. The meeting was secret, only
members OF the church being admitted.
DR.. Brown offered his resignation as pas
tor, and by vote of 1914 to LA the con-
gregation refused to accept it. He was
not satisfied and urged his congregation
to reconsider. Another vote was taken,
which resulted in ia in favor of accepting
the resignation and 173 against.
The meeting was the stormiest and
most sensational his congregation has
held.
The pastor has as yet no definite pur-
pose in the future. The fellowship which
the conference of California withdrew
from him was compensated by the fellow.

Murder in Chicago,

NJ. j. Wyckoff, an engineer employed
by the Huessner Baking Company of Chi
cago, shot William Wagner, wealthy
manufacturer, through the left breast, in
ficting wounds from which Wagner died
within few minutes. The two men
were neighbors and did not get along
well, and two days ago, it is claimed, Wag-
ner, during row, struck Mrs. Wyckotf
blacking her eye. 1t was for this that the
murder was committed. The killing was
done at Lake and Market Streets, a
crowded spot in the day time. and after
two officers had taken Wyckoff into GUS
tody large crowd endeavored to take
him away. The policemen fought hard
for their prisoner, but were on the point
of losing him when patrol wagon load
of officers came in response to riot call.
Even with this reinforcement the
officers had all they could do, and
were compelled to use their clubs freely
in order to get the prisoner to the wagon.
Several heads were broken in the fight,
but no serious injuries were inflicted.

Ambassador Uhl Meets William.
Tie Up the Lines.

A strike of the 900 employees Of the Mil
waukee Electric Railway and Light Com
pany was inaugurated Sunday, and as
each car was run INTO the barns motorman
and conductor left it, not to return until
the demands of the union for increased
pay, recognition of the employees organi-
cation and several minor concessions are
granted. When it was learned by the
officers of the union that men from other
cities were being imported and that the
company was preparing to fill the places
of the old employees it was determined TO
ask conference with the officials of the
company. The request was sent to Vice
President Payne, who replied that the
company would receive no communlca-
ton from the men and would in no man
ner treat with its employees further. When
this answer was announced at the meet
ing vote was taken on motion to de-
clare strike, which carried unanimously.
The directors of the road sent their re-
ply to the men, in which they positively
refused to grant two of the leading re-
quests-those for high wages and the set
tlement of difficulties by arbitration. The
officials however, signiiied their willing
ness to discuss the minor grievances with
the men. General Manager Wyman said
that no discussion would alter the deter
mination of the directors to concede
nothing relative to wages and arbitration,
and the men said that no agreement could
be accepted by them in which present
conditions in these respects form part.

r. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review OF
Trade says: AS The season advances
there is more business, but advices indi-
cate that on the whole the prevalent feel
ing is that the gain is less than there was
reason to expect.
The general range of prices for COM
modities, farm and mine, as we'll as man
ufactured products, is nearly l per cent.
lower than it was April 1, and the lowest
ever known, the decline since October,
1892, being 1871 per cent. Wheat has de-
clined ~ cents for cash, with better ac-
counts of winter and rapid seeding Of
spring. Wool is weaker, the wool year
closing with the greatest quantity of wool
ON hand ever carried at this season. Ex :
ports continue both of: domestic and for
egn woods and sales by manufacturers
who lack orders to continue production.
Woolen goods have not improved in de-
mand and fannels are to Is per cent.
lower than last year. The decrease in
the shipment of woolen goods from Eu-
rope has been Quilted marked and stocks
in warehouses are large and increasing.
The anthracite coal concerns have ad-
vanced the price 25 cents per ton.

Bicycle in Cuban War.

The first practical application of the
bicycle in war is to be made by the Cuban
insurgents. On the steamship Arbandhu,
clearing from New York was supply of
wheels, shipped by a firm of New York
manufacturers. They were consigned to
Neuvtas, Cuba. The wheels are to be
used by the officers of the insurgent army.
AS the rainy season will soon set in over
the island the actual worth of the bicycle
in war should get severe and thorough
test. In addition to the consignment of
bicycles other supplies for the Cubans
were said to have been dispatched by the
steamer.
