Tama, Nov. 20-A visit of DR.. White,
of Montour. DIR. Thompson of Toledo,
DR.. Korns. of Tama, and Indian Agent
w. G.. Maln to the reservation of the
Iowa Sac and Fox Indians yesterday re-
vealed the smallpox situation among
the Indians to be most grave indeed.
Altho no deaths were reported yester-
day sixteen new cases were found,
which makes altogether, including those
who have passed thru the worst stages
of the disease, about fifty cases.
Altho 1t is hard to believe, the best in
formation at hand shows that there
have been thirty-four deaths since the
disease first became noticeable, and
among the deaths are included some OF
the most prominent members of the
tribe. The last death occurred Monday,
in the person of the eldest son of Black
Cloud, young man 90 years of age.
John Wolf and his brother, John
Black Wolf. have both died, as has also

Etc.
One of the Indians. a young man 90
years of age, son of Tom Jefferson, was
burned to death. He was suffering with
the diesase and was lying asleep in his
wickiup. He was rolling about the floor,
near the fire presumably to relieve the
terrible itching sensation, and rolled in
to the fire, where his clothing was ig-
nited and he was dead before aid could
reach him.
George Morgan. secretary of the tribe
and one of the smartest Indians of the
tribe, is not expected to live, and his
squaw is already dead. Jim Peters, an
interpreter, is sick, as IS also his squaw
and two of his pappooses.
One case outside the reservation is
now reported from Montour, where Miss
Vesta Allen. daughter Of Mrs. Miner
Allen. is sick. Her case is not consid
cred serious. however.

MlNNEsoTA's PROTESTS.
Gophers Have Put Themselves in
Ridiculous Position.


Special to Times-RepublicaE
Iowa City, Nov. 20.-The University of
Wisconsin protested Quarterback Dobie,
| Of the Minnesota foot ball team, before
| the game at Madison Saturday and the
lplaying of Dobie by Minnesota leaves
that university in a peculiar position.
Any university doing this renders itself
liable to censure by the conference and
any action which the conference may de-
sire to take in the matter. 1t will GER
| tainly come up at the meeting of the
conference after the Thanksgiving day
game and some definite action will be
taken. Just now it looks as if Mime
sofa would be unable to schedule any
big games for next year unless she is
able to appease the members of the con-
ference by apologies and panaceas.
Coach Stage, of Chicago. played Atwood
over 1owa's protest last year and had
the pleasure, after making his apologies
at the conference meeting. of framing
resolution into appropriate language
which declared with great clearness the
conferences position in the Atwood case.
| Minnesota may have the pleasure this
year of drafting similar resolutions. But
the resolutions to be adopted by the con-
ference this year will be harder with
Minnesota than with Chicago last year.
Minnesota had her protest of Captain
Williams, of Iowa. made just before the
game commenced and even then Iowa
did not play him. With this example be-
fore her Minnesota refused to follow the
lprecept, but trusted to a victory to set
her right and in a position 10 force 9TH
er teams to schedule with her for next
year She even lost the victory with
ner protested student in the lineup,
most unenviable position thus resulting
for Coach Harry Williams and Professor
Jones and one of which they are bound
to hear great deal of on all sides be-
fore the matter is dropped.
The abuse of the protesting power by
such thing as q protest made FIVE min
utes before the game Is to begin caused
more than one member uf the conference
Ito wonder at Afinnesota's action and
resolutions will probably be introduced
and passed setting some limit to the
time before a game in which a protest
can be made. The wholesale protesting

to Visit Friends.
Mason City. Nov. 20.-There is scarce
~ any one who does not believe that
Joseph Dawson is a very much alive
nan. The entire country round about
where he lives has been thoroughly
searched and there is no evidence of his
whereabouts. The clue as given in this
paper, of his being seen in thi, city at
about o'clock Monday morning by
Frank Barnard, is positively correct.
Barnard knew him and talked with him
and there could be no mistake. He told
Barnard that he thought he would go to
Dakota, but about train time he changed
his mind and thought that he would give
up that trip. 1t is stated on pretty good
authority that Dawson bought a ticket
early Monday morning at the Iowa Gem
trial depot in this city for Marshalltown.
The presumption is that he has started
to visit his sister, who resides in an Illi-
nois town.
