Tho Indian Trouble In Iowa.

Washington, Nov. 24.-The threat
ened uprising of Sac and Fox Indians
in Iowa on account of forcible detention
of an Indian pupil, married woman,
at the government school. has not yet
been officially reported to the interior
department. While the authorities do
not attempt to sustain the action of the
agent in OBTAINING married woman
pupil, the government claims the right,
once pupils are enrolled in a govern
ment school, to compel them, by force
or otherwise, to attend. The Sac and
Fox Indians have long opposed this pol
lev. and the matter has given rise to
considerable correspondence between
the department and the agency officials.
Mr.. Wilcox, mentioned in the press dis
patches as seeking habeas corpus for
the detained pupil. is regarded as dis
turbing element.

A HERM1r's ESTATE IN COURT.
An Illegitimate Child Gets All of His
Enrfune

Webster City, Nov. PA case which
has attracted widespread attention
throughout Iowa, and which was tried
lat the last term of the district court
in this city. was decided by Judge Bird
sail yesterday. 1t involves an estate
valued at more than $4,000.
In October, 1898, Reuben S. Bennett.
a bachelor about IS years of age,
recluse and a hermit, died, leaving an
estate of SOS, 900. 1t was not known that
and her children.
Soon after the old mans death wo-
man by the name of Ruby j. Britt who
was practicing law at Helena. Mont,
and now resident Of Tiffin, O., put in
an appearance here and claimed to be
the illegitimate child of said Reuben
S. Bennett, declaring herself the only
rightful heir to his estate.
The heirs in this vicinity, who are
prominent and wealthy, denied her
claim, and a stubborn legal contest in
the courts ensued.
| At the trial it was proven beyond
doubt that Ruby j. Britt was the child
! of Reuben S. Bennett; that she was the
daughter of Eliza Dodge, and was
born on September 2, 1854, at Harrison
lville, o.: that the said Eliza Dodge was
unmarried and the birth of the child
| illegitimate.
| Letters We're produced written by
Bennett to Mrs. Britt when she was liv-
ing with her first husband in Louisville.
KY, when her name was Mrs. III. c..
Miller. In those letters Bennett adj
mitted plaintiff was his child and made
arrangements TO meet her in Ohio at
the place of her birth.
Bennett was an eccentric old man.
He owned and lived on fine farm adj
joining Webster City, but was seldom
seen in town. He would keep hay in
the stack and grain in the crib until il
rotted, and was known to have steers
/ ten years old. He would permit his
horses to roam in the pasture until they
would die of old age, without ever hav-
ing been hitched up or even battered.
The decision of Judge Birdsall is en-
dorsed by the public here. Judge Bird
sail decided that Mrs. Britt was legal
heir and entitled to the entire estate.

WATKINS WINS HIS APPEAL.
The Captain of the Paris Gets His
SuaDension Reduced.

Steam Vessels, has modified the decree of
the local board board of United States
steam vessel inspectors suspending the
license of Capt. Frederick H. Watkins.
recently OF the steamship Paris. for two
years. as master and pilot. Captain Star
buck it was announced today, issued yes
terday a decree that the sentence should be
modified to a suspension for six months,
this term beginning from October 70. The
sentence of the local board of United States
steam vessel inspectors was pronounced
upon Captain Watkins after the Paris ran
aground upon the Manacles on the English
coast last spring, and Captain Watkins an
rounced that he would appeal from the
sentence as being excessive. His appeal
has been under consideration by Captain
Starbuck for some time and his investiga-
tion of the matter convinced him. it is said
that Captain Watkins had erred in calcu-
lation of course and not through careless
ness.
Captain Watkins explained his case some
time ago in these words:
When we left Cherbourg one of the ofi q

tion, with pencil in hand the light was

morrow viii say:
"A quieting down of distributive trade
more particularly at retail, is reported in
telegraphed advices to Bradstreets this
week, growing out Of the unseasouably
warm weather now being experienced in
most sections of the country. Reflection
Of this is found in less urgent orders re-
ceived by jobbers and in somewhat i'm
paired collections at many points. AS
regards prices. however there is no appre-
ciable loss Of strength, the great majority
of quotations remaining steady, and
among those making changes. advances are
still most numerous. That the general
business OF the country remains at an Un-
precedented volume Is testified to by the
heavy gains noted in bank clearings over
a year ago and by the immense increases
in railway earnings over exceptionally good
returns last October, AS regards the re-
cent activity in transportation it may be
said that eastbound traffic from Chicago
in the past month has been more than dou-
bic that reported in the same period a
year ago, and nearly twice as large as
that reported in October of 1892 a record
period Of good trade. That the railroads
