have at least twelve hens and one sow and
continue in possession of them indefinitely.
They must bring eggs chickens and vegeta-
bles to sell to the governors house and to
the barracks at stated intervals, and they
must pay their taxes and discharge other in

The other order, issued September Is, was
more radical. 1t demands that concubinage
which was general all over the island, shall
stop Immediately. In this order Governor
Leary moralizes as follows to the natives:
"The existing custom of raising families
of illegitimate children is repusve to ideas
of decency antagonistic to moral advance
ment, incompatible with the generally recog-
nized customs of civilized society, violation
of the accepted principles of Christianity
and most degrading injustice to the inno-
cent offspring who is not responsible for
the conditions of his unfortunate existence"
The governor, in conclusion. commands
immediate wedlock for the whole adult pop
ulation and made the license and civil cere-
mony free until November 3. AS a result
the officers in charge of licenses and mar
riages were worked half to death until nearly
everybody on the island was legally mar
ried. There was a rush to obey the order,
and, in fact, the people have shown a dis
position to be obedent to any suggestion
from their governor.

TRYING TO CURE LAzlNESS
Governor Leary Prescribes for n
Chronic Case in Island
of Guam.

| NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-A special to the
Tribune from Washington says: Governor
Leary of Guam, or "the Isle of GUAM as it
is called on the official SEAL is having novel
experiences for an American in an altogether
unique community, but the infrequency of
communication with the outside world per-
mits little information to reach Washington
| regarding this innovation in colonial estab-
| lishments.
| Governor Leary was always a picturesque
| character in the service and his mission in
| the lonely and scarcely known island was
| regarded by those who knew him sin
| gularly appropriate. 1t was expected that
an interesting experiment in civilization
would begin when he assumed absolute con-
| troll Of the new possession, and so it has
| turned out, although the Navy department
for some reason has refrained from permit
! ting the details of his reports to get into
circulation. That these reports are highly
| interesting and in some instances wholly
unconventional is evident from portions of
one which has just come to Washington. In
this Governor Leary inclosed two of his re-
cent orders to the citizens of the Isle of
Guam which are unlike any other orders
ever issued by naval officer
The report, which is dated October II,
gives a terse resume of affairs in the cap
tains dominion since the last mail. 1t
shows that the islanders are inordinate!y
lazy, having acquired the habits of their an
cestors of raising only such crops will
keep their bodies and souls together and
that they cannot be easily induced to value
money or exercise their earning power. With
minimum of exertion they are satisfied if
they do not starve. The whole island is full
of examples of neglected opportunities which
are so distasteful to Americans.
The governor has set out to bring the
people of Guam to realization of the nat
ural wealth of the island and to make all
under his jurisdiction as productive as possi-
BILE. He tells the Navy department that
he does not want any more marines sent to
him. as he cannot provide food for them
and does not need them for his defense, as
he has nothing to fear from the natives. He
begs, however, for more officers to assist
him in carrying out his plans for improving
the condition of the population.
He says he wants an ice machine none
of the water on the island being potable to
the people. He has established the seat
of government at Agana, six miles from Port
Louis d'Apra and over this distance his men
buildings they are erecting, as well as all
supplies.
But the interesting part of the report re-
lates to the reforms begun, of which the
governor says:
Having disposed of the priests, rapid |
progress will be made and no further re-
sistance will be encountered
He explained the two orders which were |
printed in English in the customary form |
on the first English printing press in the !
islands and distributed broadcast. The first /
of these is calculated to compel each adult
native to contribute to the support OF the
government by engaging in food production
This order was dated October and directs

RETURNS FIVE INDICTMENTS
Grand Jury Presents Its First Report for the
Current Term.
TWO BILLS FOUND AGAINST GREGORY
Charged with Stealing n Mule and
AssauItinE with Intent to Kill
Young Peter Peterson Sent
to the Penitentiary.
TWO BILLS FOUND AGAINST GREGORY

The district court grand jury reassembled
yesterday afternoon, after a weeks ad-
journment, and presented its first report for
! the term, returning five indictments and
| three mo bills"
! Two of the indictments were against j. A.
Gregory, the horsethief who on October "a
last, when placed uLder arrest at a grading
! camp at Loveland, shot and seriously in
jured Constable Moss OF Rockford township
and was only captured after long chase by
officer Albro, since appointed chief of police,
and Patrol Driver Harry James Neither of
the indictments. contrary to general expecta-
tion, is for shooting Moss. The first Is on
the charge of assaulting with intent to
murder officer Alhro and the second is on
the charge Of stealing a mule, the property
OF e. D. Laughln of Ashland, Neb., valued
at $125.
In returning these indictments the grand
jury calls the attention of the court to the
fact that previous to the commission of the
crimes with which he now stands charged,
Gregory had been three times convicted in
this state of the crime of larceny and had
served penitentiary sentences each time.
The first time he was convicted at Logan,
Harrison county, on September Z, 1886; the
second at Jefferson, Greene county, on Oc-
at Greenfield, Adair county, on April l.,
1895.
Two indictments were returned against
Peter Peterson, 17-year-old farm hand
The first charged him with assaulting Mary
Langheine, a young girl under 15 years Of
age, with intent to commit rape, and the
second with breaking into Robert Coon's
house in Nicola township. Peterson was
anxious to have his case disposed of as soon
as possible, so he was taken before Judge
Green. He pleaded guilty to both charges
and the court sentenced him to eighteen
months in the penitentiary on the assault
charge and six months for breaking into
Coons house. The court read the prisoner
lecture and told him that but for his age
the sentence on the first charge would have
been much heavier.
The fifth indictment was against Jeff
Huston, who was charged with stealing
wearing apparel belonging to John veenker
from the Atlantic house on South Main
street.
The mo bills" returned were in the cases
of Morris Flahive, Frank Allen and Theo-
dore Campbell. Flahive was charged by
his neighbor, T. H. Rowbotham OF 1915 South
Sixth street, with tearing down a boundary
fence and erecting another in its place.
Allen is the man committed from Rockford
township on the charge OF breaking into a
school house and the residence Of Joseph
Gilmore, who has since shown signs OF in
sanity and was yesterday committed to st.
Bernard's hospital by the insanity commits
sioners. Campbell was charged with high
way robbery, 1t being alleged that he held
up and robbed Herold Horton Of $4 on the
highway near Loveland on the evening OF
October 81 last.
After presenting its report the grand jury
resumed it's deliberations.

DEs MONIES, Nov. 21.-(special Tele-

spreading Four cases and one death were
reported from Sioux Rapids to the State
Board of Health this morning. One case from
Sioux Rapids, three from the country south
east OF there and ten from Storm Lake were

says there have been several exposures, but
they have been quarantined and isolated and
I general vaccination ordered. The death
was of patient who had not been vacci-
mated. DR.. Kennedy looks upon the situa-
tion as serious and is hourly expecting word
from DR.. Commit, who was called to the
scene yesterday.
The original source of the contagion may
never be known as the camp of graders, from
which 1t Is supposed to have spread, was
made up of men from different parts of the
country. The camp was moved to Mississippi
last week.
SIOUX CITY, Nov. 21.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-The smallpox situation in north

Mrs. Jacob Dragland of Sioux Rapids was
taken sick last Thursday and died today
with the disease. Her three brothers are also

In all there are nine cases at Storm Lake,
but so far there have been no deaths re-
ported from there. Today a message came

at once to investigate. Every precaution is
being taken to stamp out the disease.
So far there is no alarm felt in Sioux City,
although a large nupnber of people have
come in and out Of here from the affected
towns. Many are being vaccinated for fear
smallpox may break out here.
