council, Jacob Rupert, Jr., ofManhat-
tan. 1t favors home rule and repeal of
the Raines law and other restrictions on
personal liberty, and demands dollar

Rigid Quarantine Regulations seem
Not to Affect the Epidemic.
New Orleans, Sept. 30.-Wednesday
was record breaker in the number of
new cases of yellow fever reported,
while the deaths equaled in number
those of any day since the yellow fever
was first discovered in the city. There
are various reasons given for the spread
of the disease, but the principal ones
are two-that the weather turned warm
again, and owing to the much wider
field to cover the board of health has
had some difficulty in getting every
house as closely guarded as was posi-
BILE when the cases here were few in
number and the trained officials of the
board were stationed about the quar-
hntined houses. The record for Wednes-
day shows four deaths and rs new cases.
Nine new cases of yellow fever and
one death were reported at Scranton,
Miss, Wednesday. Edwards, Miss, re-
ports "a new cases but no deaths for
Wednesday. Two cases are r. ported at
Brownsville.
Mobile, Ala, Sept. 30.-Tuesday's
rather big report of ten new cases was
offset Wednesday by small report of
four. The only death in the "a hours
ending at noon was Brother Synpho-
rian at the Industrial gardens. Total
cases to date, 6S; deaths, 10.
Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 3O.-The
News has received the following dis
patch from correspondent at Eng
lish, Crawford county, Ind: A sup
posed case of yellow fever is reported
at Miffiin, seven miles southwest of
here. The patient is Edward McKinny.
He returned from Jonesboro, Ark, last
Friday, took sick Sunday and has not
spoken since. Numbers of people have
recently died within mile of Jones'
boro.
New Orleans, Oct. 1.-The fever record
Friday showed three deaths here and
one in Mobile, and new cases as follows:
New Orleans, 30; Biloxi, %; Mobile, z;
Edwards, 10; Scranton, A; McHenry, 4.
Dispatches are to the effect that the
plague has been practically stamped out
ut Ocean Springs, where it was first
noted.

Stnmebacks Sentenced.

Columbus, Kan, Oct. 2.-The MEM
bers of the Staffleback family were SEN
fenced Friday. Ed and George Staffle-
back were convicted of murder in the
first degree and Mrs. Staffleback, the
mother, was convicted as an accessory.
The boys received life sentences in the
penitentiary, and the mother received
81 years. Under the Kansas law there is
no capital punishment. The Static
backs murdered Frank Galbraith at
Galena, Kan, last June, and then robbed
the body and threw it into an old aban-
doned mining shaft. The search re-
vealed three other bodies in the shaft.
Ed Staffleback has been declared insane
by board of physicians.

spection and Sails for Home.
London, Oct. 4.-Gen. Nelson A. Miles
Mrs. Miles and Aide-de-Camp Capt
Maus sailed for the United States on
the American line steamer st. Louis
Saturday. The commander of the army
has been in Europe since May on his
tour of military observation and has
inspected everything of military inter
est from the armies of the great powers
in field action down to balloons and
bicycles" as he remarked. He has
looked over Notifications, barracks,
camps, ordnance works of all classes, and
in the intervals of this work has writ
ten three reports to the government,
covering different features of European
militarism. After his return he will
with the assistance of Capt. Maus, pre-
pare another and more comprehensive
report in which will be embodied
recommendations for the improvement
of the United States army.
To the question as to whether the
United States, under it's present mill
tary policy, would be able to cope with
a European power, Gen. Miles replied:
'In any population 1t is estimated one
man out of five is capable of bearing
arms. That would give us an army of H.
100000 Our people are strong physically
and generallyintelligent and well informed
besides that each citizen is a sovereign and
personally interested in the welfare of his
government and serves voluntarily with
out being forced into service by military
despotism. We have many thousands Of
men still living who have seen more war,
participated in more battles than any man
in Europe. But 1t is another thing to
equip an army with modern appliances for
the defense of coast where we would
have to use high power guns and modern
projectileS which it takes years to con-
struct, while small arms are not to be
made in a few days or weeks. Modern
rifles are different from the squirrel guns
with which our revolutionary fathers
went to war. The range of modern arms
is very great and projectiles weigh 100
pounds to a ton of steel. The rapidity of
the rapid-fire machine gun, the Maxim
and Calling, is 400 to 600 shots a minute
Although these are American inventions,
they are largely used in the European

Schuyler, Neb., Oct. 4.-During Sun
day forenoon Frank Steinad came hasti-
ly from Shell creek precinct, nine miles
northwest, to summon physician to
the home of Frank Davis, where he said
the whole family had been poisoned.
DR.. Sixta FASTENED out, and found the
mother and four of the seven children
in the family dead. A fifth child was in
dying condition, and a sixth victim
was ill. Mr.. Davis and his oldest son
went away early IN the morning, leav-
ing before the rest of the family break
tasted. When the meal was prepared
all sat down, and early in the course of
the meal Mrs. Davis made some such re-
mark as: EAT a good breakfast and
we'll all go together" Strychnine had
been put in the coffee, which soon
showed it's effects. Those not pros

Madrid, Sept. 3o.-The entire Spanish
cabinet has resigned. The queen has ac-
cepted the cabinets resignation, but
has asked Gen. Azcarraga to continue
in Office until a solution of the crisis is
found. Senior Sagasta has been tele-
graphed for and it is believed that the
liberal leader will be asked to form a
cabinet. ...
1t is said that Senior Sagasta is in
favor of superseding Capt. Gen. Weyler
and of granting autonomy to Cuba i'm

be minister of foreign affairs in the new

Washington, Sept. 3O.-The news of

brought to the attention of the officials
of the state department and diplomatic
officials through press bulletin from

event caused surprise among the Of
fcials of the state department. or among
the members of the diplomatic corps in
Washington. a careful inspection of
the cable news for the past few weeks
had left the general impression that
the cabinet erected in haste after the
assassination of Premier Canovas, Could
not be expected to survive long. There
were several easons for this expectation,
but perhaps the principal one was the

THE IRRIGATION CONGRESS.
Session Opens mt Lincoln, Neb.-Bryan
Addreaaea the Delegates.

Addresses the Delegates.
Lincoln, Neb, Sept. 30.-Beginning at
nine o'clock Wednesday morning, with
short recess at noon, and continuing
until late at night, the delegates to the
national irrigation congress were sur
feited with papers on irrigation topics
and discussions which followed their
presentation. The congress took action
looking to it's indefinite continuance and
providing for the incorporation of the
national association and adoption of a
constitution and bylaws. Ex-senator
Casey, of Wyoming, was unanimously
elected president. The feature at the
opening of the afternoon session was
the address of Hon. w. j. Bryan. He
said he was interested in the subject Of
irrigation as incidental to his interest
in the great and growing west. He
was opposed to turning over large bod
les of land to corporations controlling
water rights, unless safeguards were
thrown around the transaction to pro-
tect small holders of irrigable lands.
Lincoln, Neb., Oct. Ex-senator
Carey, of Wyoming, who was elected
president of the congress, scored tri-
umph Thursday by securing the next
meeting for Cheyenne, and he was again
honored by being chosen as chairmam
of the national executive committee.
Federal versus state control and main
tenance of reservoirs in arid districts
was the rock upon which the congress
seemed destined at one time to split, but
the chasm was not so wide but that it
was finally bridged, a preponderance
of sentiment favorable to federal con-
troll being shown on vote to adopt the
majority report of the committee on
resolutions. Resolutions were adopted
declaring that the waters of all streams
should forever remain public property
and asking the president to withdraw
valuable timber lands from sale. A
resolution fayoring postal savings
banks was tabled.
A supplemental report of the COM
mittees on resolutions pledging the
support of the irrigation congress to
the Hermann bill now pending in the
national house of representatives pro-
viding for the cession to the states of a
million acres of arid lands was adopted.

EXPERTS DON'T AGREE.

diets DR.. Airport at Luetsert Trial.
Chicago, Oct. 4.-The expert anato-
mists for the defense in the Luetgert
case contradicted one another Saturday
in manner that made the state serene
ly happy. Drs. l.. A. Merrillat and JOS
eph Hughes, professors in two veterin-
arr colleges of Chicago, were on the
stand until IL o'clock. Both positively
identified the bone which the state
claims is a human femur as the lower
part of the shaft of hogs femur. DR..
w. Fl. Airport, the expert for the de-
Tense, who left the stand Friday after
two days examination, declared it was
the upper end of hogs femur. DR..
Merrilat said Saturday he knew it was
the lower part, because the foramen
ran upward. DR.. Airport said he knew
it was the upper part because the fora
mems direction was downward. The
counsel for the defense realized the eff
feet of such a contradiction, and en-
deavored to swing DR.. Merrillat around
to Allport's opinion, but Merrillat re-
fus ed to be swerved. DR.. Joseph
Hughes coincided with the opinion of
DR.. Merrillat.
