Better Train to Minnesota.

The Sioux City Commercial as
sociaton is about to petition the Chi
cago, St. Paul, Minneapolis Minnea.
poiis and Omaha Railway company
to put on a local train which will
leave Worthington, Minn., between,
Z aud 8 O'Clock in the morning and
arrive in Sioux City before noon,
and leave )ate III The afternoon. It
is believed this would be one of the
most popular trains running into
Sioux City It would be just such
train as the Illinois Centraps "Clip-
er," train running between Fort
Dodge and Sioux City for purely
local business. A train from Worth
ington would run through a
a thickly settled region, and it would
catch the business at Sheldon and
Alton and arrive in time to catch
the fast train out at 1:1O o'clock on
the Sioux City and Pacific for the
south and all western connections at
Omaha.
"This territory of the Omaha's in
far northwestern Iowa is our richest
and at the present time is most poor
ly served" raid James V. Mahoney
commissioner for the occasion; land
[ believe the officials will willingly
grant our request Although there
there are now two trains in the
in the morning and two in the even
ing, they do not run 80 that person
al ng the line to the north can come
to Sioux City unless he gets up at
midnight or remaios over night.
Such trains as we will ask. for would
be money maker for the retail bus
mess in Sioux City and in sixty days
would be, believe, one of the best
paying trains on the Omaha system y

of DOwie's Followers
In Trouble.

Another of DOWie's Followers
In Trouble.
A warrant has been issued for
Baste johnson, follower Of DR."
John Alexander Dowie, the faith
healer, at the instance Of Johnson's
wife, who says he has failed to sup
port her and their six children, and
has given his earnings to Zion, Dow
les church. johnson is q laborer at
No. 1927 May street, and his wife says
the limit to his earnings is $40 q
week. Out of this she says he mas
frequently given 54 and SIS week to
Dowie, keeping the remainder for his
own needs, and allowing his family
to suffer for the necessaries of life
The destitution of the family caused
it to become an object of charity, and
The attention of the police was direct
I'd to the case. A recent death in the
family rendered it's condition more
ptiable. .... II .->...
When johnson was brought into
court he read a chapter from the
Bible and said had made a compact
with God. The Judge said: ''You
have no compact with any one, except
notorious old confidence man,
''You are being robbed by man who
is the delirium tremens of charity.
At this juncture Mrs. johnson told
of having visited Dowie with a plea
for herself and her starving babies.
Il went to Dowie's home and told
him that we were suffering for food,
and and that did not think that my
husband was doing right to give
away so much of the money he re-
ceived," she said. "Dowie said to me
Your husband is doing perfectly
right in giving to God. He's good
man, and worthy example for you.
Don't tell me he is not doing right.
He is model husband.'"
An organization is now arranging
to wage war on Dowie.

THE DIAMONDVILLE STRIKE.
Getting Ready to Begin Work at the
Mines.

Salt Lake, Dec. "a Lumber Of ad-
ditional deputies arrived at Diamond
Vile today and reported to the sheriff
for duty. He has now quite an army
under him, and it is said that opera
ton Of the mines will soon begin, AL
ready the town and vicinity wea a
semi-milftary aspect. The hill back of
No. l mine is dotted here and there
with sentinels who pace their beats
ceaselessly. Day and night sentinels
guard the magazines, boiler, engine and
pump houses. and all approaches to
the mines. No person is allowed to
gain access to any part of the works
or property without being halted by a
sentry and properly identified,
Last night three men armed with
guns were halted by the guard near the
boiler house No. 1. They were detain-
ed until the officer in charge appeared,
when they were relieved Of their arms
and allowed to proceed. The day has
been quiet, no disturbances having oc,
Cured.
1t is semi-oficially announced that
work will be resumed tomorrow norm
ing and some anxiety is expressed as
to the outcome. Threats Of violence
have been freely made in such an event
and it remains to be seen whether the
parties making the threats will en-
deavor to carry them out.
One of two of the leading strikers
showed themselves around the sheriff's
headquarters today. but the nature OF
their errand could o be learned. With
ample protection afforded to the men,
it is known hat a large number will
resume work who have thus far been
afraid to do so. Mine No. 4 was the
last to close and only did so when the
miners were visited by a deputation of
strikers, who threatened to Elk" them
unless they quit. 1t has since resum-
ed with a reduced force. 1t is thought
that mine No. l will be the first at
which work will be resumed and af-
ter that is in full operation Nos. 2, 3
and 4 will also be %re-opened. The re.
suits Of tomorrow's efforts will be anx-
iously awaited.

Still Arguing.

Kentucky Election Canvassing Board
Still Arguing.
Frankfort, KY, Dec. 6.-No decision
was given out today by the state can
wasting board. Most of today was
spent in arguing oil contested counties.
The principal fight is on the question
Of whether the board has the right to
go behind the returns. Three speeches
will be made on each side. The vote
as it now stands, with II counties in
contest, gives Taylor a plurality of
over 1000.
The democrats believe a prolonging
decision is favorable to them, while
the republicans still maintain that
Taylor will receive the commission.
Fighting blood is boiling and although
bloodshed has been repeatedly unsuc.
cessfully predicted over the recent
election it may not come.

NEWS RECEIVED
LONG DISPATCHES RECEIVED BY
ENGLISH WAR OFFICE
FROM BUTLER.
List Of Casualties at Kimberley Given
Some Newspaper Dispatches
Coming ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and
Kimberly Holding Out-Rumored
That Kruger is Seriously Alarmed.

London, Dec. Long dispatche.
were received at the war office from
General Butler yesterday, but the only
items made public were & list of casu,
alties in a sortie from Kimberley on
November 2S, and a statement from
the commander in chief, of the Boei
losses. There is little doubt hat Sir
Redvers Butler referred 10 the forward
movements, now perhaps in operation
but the wal Office makes no sign ant
keeps it's secret well.
Some newspaper dispatches are com
ing through. We know that while
General Clery took command of the re-
lief columns AT Frere last Saturday, nc
advance in force had been made up to
Monday.
Kimberley was fighting merrily
with the Beers, but was not able to
make an impression up to last FRI
day.
Ladysmith, notwithstanding the in
creased bombardment, was holding its
own on Saturday. While to a certain
extent the attitude of suspense as to
the two centers of engrossing interest,
Ladysmith and Kimberley, continues,
so far as Natal is concerned, there are
signs, family but significant, that the
tension is relaxing, and that the in
habitants, who are returning to Est,
court, are right when they declare that
the tide of war has turned.
There are rumors that President
Kruger is seriously alarmed about the
possibilities of a British invasion OF
the Dutch republic and is counselline
the abandonment of the Ladysmith
investment, that General Joubert is i'll
and has gone back across the frontier
to recover; that there is illness and
hunger in the Boer camps, and disaf-
lection between the Transvaal and
Free State burghers growing out Of a
feeling that the siege has been a fail
ure, and that the soldiers might be
much more usefully employed in the
defense of Bloemfontein.
Last Of all, there is the reported
presence of the state attorney from
Pretoria, who is presumably not toe
conversant with the arts of war, and
may be conveying some important mes
sage to the Boer leaders from head
quarters.
OF all these rumors there is Just
enough substance to some of them to
cause the belief that the Beers are
much worried by the British prepara-
tions for an advance.

INDIAN SCHOOL WORK.
Miss Estelle Reel, Superintendent Sub.
mits Her Report.

Washington. Dec. 5.-Miss Estelle

schools. in her annual report makes a
strong plea for compulsory education,
and advocates strictly industrial trains
ing for Indian schildren. She says the
industrial branch of the works should

instructions be narrowed to the simple,
practical elements.
The educational outlook for the In
dian is painted as very encouraging,
and better buildings and more facili-
ties for industrial training have been
provided this year. The report urges
a course Of cooking, nursing and eco,
nomic housekeeping for girls, making
them home-makers in the highest sense
and trades should be added to the COM
mon branches taught the boys. Dur
ing the year 23,37s miles were Travelled
