FARMERS ADJOURN.
The Congress Adopts Resolutions and
Chose Boston as Next Meeting Place.

FORT WORTH, Tex, Dec. S.-The Farm
ers' National Congress was slow in getting
down to business to-day on account of the
bad weather. Among the resolutions adopted
was one favoring aid In constructing the
N~icaraguan canal, government control of
the same and another favoring develop
ment of the beet-sugar Industry. A COM
mittee to engross the resolutions and pre-
sent the same to Congress was appointed,
composed of Messrs. Clayton, Of Iowa;
Candidge; of Massachusetts; Evans. of Col
orado, and President Hoard. Recommends
tions for the passage of laws providing
that grain be separated from seeds of
noxious weeds before being put on the mar
ket was ordered forwarded to the proper
authorities. The congress also passed reso-
buttons faVoring the lease or sale of arid
lands so as to make them taxable; asking
the United States Congress for increased
appropriations for rural free mail delivery;
favoring national legislation to do away
with the privileges accorded to original
packages of oleomargarine under interstate
law: prohibiting the branding of
dairy products with the name of the State
or Territory in which they are produced,
and urging the necessity for instruction in
the principles of agriculture in public
schools.
After some lively competition Boston was
chosen over Des Moines and Denver as the
place where the next session will be held.
The congress then adjourned sine die.

PETITION TO CONGRESS-
CATHOLICS WANT CONTRACT
SCHOOL SYSTEM INVESTIGATED.
Cardinal Gibbons Presents n Request
and Intimates the Truth Has
Been Suppressed.

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-Cardinal Glib
bons, in behalf OF himself and the archbish-
ops of the Catholic Church in America, has
submitted q petition to Congress asking that
the question OF the contract school system
be reope1ed and that Congress again go
over the whole subject of Indian education.
The petition sets forth at length the history
OF the indian school question and the legis-
lation applying to it up TO the recent pro-
visions in appropriation bills looking to the
gradual discontinuance OF government aid to
sectarian schools. The petition asks that Il
congressional inquiry be made in place of
the departmental inquiries. in order that the
merits and defects of contract schools and
government schools may be shown, and
mot kept as a secret of state, concealed in
the files of any department or office The
petition was presented by Representative
Mclntire, of Baltimore, and was referred to
the House Indian committee, which is now
preparing the Indian appropriation bill.
Senator German presented d similar petit
ton in the Senate.
Representative Sherman, chairman of the
favor of granting the prayer that an inves-
tigation be made. He is of opinion that as
the Catholic Church has made large ex-
penditureS for Indian education in the erec-
ton of buildings, etc, ii is fair that Con-
gress should know the exact condition of
things. Mr.. Sherman said to-day that he
probably would take som acton to bring
about such an investigation, but not for
some time yet.

200 CASES OF SMALLPOX.
Nearly 5000 People. Exposed to the
Disease Through Ignorance.

HUNTINGDON, Pa, Dec. S.-Among
Bedford's population of $500 there are about
200 cases of what is said to be genuine SMALL
pox. This alarming condition of affairs was
discovered yesterday, and up TO that time
there continued an uninterrupted comming-
ling Of the citizens of the town, irrespective
of their physical condition. DR.. W. B. At
kinson, of Philadelphia, inspector of the
State Board of Health. passed through here
to-day on his return home from Bedford,
where he spent yesterday in diagnosing the
disease that prevails. The Bedford physi-
clans disagree, some ~pronouncing it to be
chicxenpox, and others a harmless skin dis
ease. DR.. Atkinson, after a thorough ex4
animation, says it is genuine smallpox. He
himself counted $50 cases in the town and
believes there are fully 30 in all. Men,
women and children, he declared, with SMALL
poX cruSts on their bodies and faces, have
been travelling the streets day and hight,
and visiting from house to house uncon~
seious OF the true nature of their affection.
The rapid spread of the disease was due to
the inability of the local physicians to dag
nose 1t, not one Of the practicing physicians
or the town ever before having treated a
smallpox case. Drastic measures were taken
to-day to prevent the cOntagion from spread
ing further. The whole town is closely
q-uarantined. policed and guarded, and heroic
measures will be prosecuted to check the
plague. The danger to the whole central
part Of the State is manifest, as people Of
Bedford, while infected with the disease,
nave been travelling far and near. George
Martin. a member of Company A, Fifth
Regiment, of Huntingdon, who is afflicted
with smallpox, contracted the disease while
playing football in Bedford from an opposing
Bedford player, who at the time showed the
crusts of smallpox on his face. The Hunt
ingdon School Board has ordered compul.
sorry vaccination of the pupils.

General Sternberg said after her purchase
there was a lapse of three weeks during
which no work had been done. She sailed on
the date of the battle of Santiago. but had
she sailed five days sooner the medical sup
pies at the battle ground would have been
ample. The witness refused to say the de-
lay was unnecessary nor on whom the re-
sponsibility should rest.
Asked if it had been officially reported to
MIN that there were surgeons at Montauk
united for. duty because of bad habits, ne
said there had been enc who drank, who
came from Fortress Monroe and is nov on
duty at Jefferson barracks.
Surgeon General Sternberg, concerning the
relative merits of division and regimental
hospitals, said that while experience had
taught a good deal. the theories of the de-
partment as to medical administration were
borne out in the main. Coming to the his
tory of the Santiago movement, General
Sternberg explained that there had been an
abundance of medical officers and supplies
sent to Santiago, and said the trouble, so
Tar as he could Judge, arose in their land
that he could do no more in his office than
send supplies where he thought they. were
needed and respond promptly to acquisitions.
All this, he declared most positively, had
been done.
General Beaver-Were you at any time
hampered in the discharge of the duties of
your office by any of your superiors in the
department?
General Sternberg hesitated considerably
cable extent" There was a pause, and
General Sternberg FASTENED to add: You
VIII understand nat one man. cannot 90
everything at once, and there were occa-
sional delays in getting the ear of the sec
rotary. but nothing beyond this"
Then" said General Beaver, I'VE are to
understand you had at all times the hearty
support and good will of those over you in
forwarding the work of your Department.
Yes" was the reply, most undoubtedly"
AS to the general condition of troops IN
mobilization camps, he said the trouble could
nearly all be summed up in the two phrases,
neglect of sanitary measures and Letting
the troops remain too long in one camp.
You have to do one Of two things" said he.
You must maintain your permanent camp
under the sanitary conditions of civilized
life, or you must follow the Indian method
and shift your camp when you foul your
ground. | can make rules which, IL fol-
lowed, will insure reasonable immunity from
typhoid, but / cannot insure their being fol-
lowed by the men In the field"
As to a new ration for the tropics, Gen.
%Sternberg said he had made no specific rec
ommendation yet, but he had a competent
officer now Investigating the methods of the
British army in Jamaica and hoped soon to
be able to make a report.
Touching the subject of female nurses,
General Sternberg said. seriously but some
what sadly, that they were expensive lux
uries." He said the War Department was
getting acquisitions now for bureaus. rock
ing chairs and other things which were un-
known under the male-nurse regime.

REFORM AT CHICAGO.
Teachers Must Not Make Servants Out
of Cookery Scholars.

CHICAGO. Dec. Stocking for teachers
and principals Will be prohibited in the pub
lie schools. Only a month has passed since
the Inauguration of the household arts sec
ton of the school system, but it was shown
yesterday that teachers were using the de-
partment for the cooking of their lunch
cons. The household arts m met
yesterday and listened to a statement from
Mrs. Ella F.. Young. The latter said that
one principal of a school had requested
that the cookery teacher bring his luncheon
upstairs to him every day after the noon
dismissal. She asked Superintendent An
drews if this should be permitted. DR.. An
drews said mo" emphatically. He said that
this would be like making a teacher in the
schools act as a hired girl or q waiter in a
restaurant. Mrs. Young was ordered to
send out a letter prohibiting the cookery
teachers from using school time in furnish
ing teachers with hot coffee or in serving
luncheon to principals.
AT the meeting of the drawing and pen
manship committee it was recommended to
the board that teachers be given more lib
erty in the matter of Penmanship. If the
board adopts the recommendation the chill
dren Will be allowed to adopt any attitude
in writing as long as they write legibly.
The present system of handwriting will not
be abandoned, but the children will not be
competed to adopt attitudes which will
tend to ~irritate them or to construct their
movements. Superintendent Andrews is go
ing TO address a letter to every principal
and teacher in the schools calling on them
TO aid in getting a school exhibit worthy of
Chicago for the Paris exposition of 1900.

Who Is Alleged to Have shot Elliott
L. Duckworth in st. Louis a Year
Ago Last June.
WHAT A DETECTIVE KNOWS
SAYS HE is CERTAIN. THE MAN
WANTED is GEORGE DOLIN,
Who Is Said to Have EmbezzIcd 500
from an Evansville Firm-NOt
now at Latter Place.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE. Ind, Dec. 8.-The police
say their only record in connection with the
st. Louis story of the murder of Duckworth
is that about June, 1897, there is a record
Of a man named Dolin, not boiling, wanted
at Evansville for stealing from a commits
sion house there. He was a vegetable ped
dler. He was arrested at Nation and
taken to Evansville.
An Associated Press dispatch says: The
discovery that the body found in Forest
Park in St. Louis and supposed until a
few days ago to be Edward L. Dolling, of
this city, is the body of Elliott Duckworth
has started the Terre Haute police on an
investigation. Superintendent of Police Hy-
land and Chief of Detectives Dwyer stated
that the Edward l.. Dolling referred to as
the absconding cashier of an Indiana ban
was George Dolin, who is we'll known to
the local police. Dolin was charged with
embezzling 500 from an Evansville commits
sion firm and was arrested by the Terre
Haute police, but escaped conviction and
disappeared. Detective Dwyer states that
A. S.. D~uckworth. a brother of the murdered
man, called on him at police headquarters
last July. The detective says: Il searched
the records at that time for the name Of
Dolling, but could find none. / told the man
about Dolin and he seemed to be satisfied
that he was the man wanted. / further told
him that Dolin could be easily identified as
he was blind in one eye and had a white
spot in the pupil by which his identity could
not be hidden. 1 am certain that the Dolling
referred to in the st. Louis dispatch is
George DOlin."
