MILEAGE RATE REDUCED.
Burlington Passengers Will Pay Less
Fare Beginning February I.

After February 1 travellers on the
Burlington's line from Edgemont, s..
D., through Wyoming and Montana as
far as Billings will v l cent per
mile for the entire distance covered.
This will be possible by reason Of a
reduction in the mileage rate from 5
cents to 4 cents in Wyoming and Mon
tana. At the present time the Bur-
lington's Wyoming lines, with the
exception of the main line to Billings,
carry a mileage tariff Of 4 cents, and
the reduction on the Billings line is
in order to avoid discrimination.
Former justification has been given
the increased mileage rate on the Bill
ings line by reason of the limited
traffic and the large operating expen-
SEES, but with the constantly increasing
business that is now being enjoyed,
officials of the road have determined
that the reduction in the mileage rate
can be accomplished without Gripping
the effectiveness of the service and at
the same time prove Of great financial
benefit to the travellers who frequent
ly use that part of the system affected
by the decreased mileage rate.

CURTIS ACT RESPONSIBLE
Adjustment Of Tribal Relations
Cause of Indian Territory
Uprising.

/. Muskogee, I. T., Jan. 26-Whatever
may be the Justice or the injustice Of
the Curtis act it is certain that this
law is entirely responsible for the
threatened uprising Of the Greek In
dians in this part Of the Indian Terri
tory. The Indians say the law is dis
tasteful to them and they will not
abide by the terms, and furthermore,
that if the United States authorities
attempt to cram its provisions down
their threats, bloodshed is bound to
follow. The fulfillment of non of
these threats is probable.
The Curtis act was passed in 1898.
Its principal point SO far as the Greeks
and Cherokees are at present on
cerned is that it abolishes all tribal
laws Of these tribes and says that all
their members shall be governed and
be punished by the laws of the United
States, just the same as any other citi-
zen of the United States. 1t was this
that the Creeks baked at from the
start and two years ago, or directly
after the passage of the act, there wal
an insignificant rebellion which was
promptly suppressed. Ever since ther
the Greeks have been surly and dis
satisfied. They Immediately began tt
organize and carried on their effortI
constantly, determined sooner or late
to show tho federal government tina
they were all powerful.

famous actor is usually associated in

work caused some Of those who wit.
messed the performance to think a
mistake had been made in the selection
of the play. Whatever doubts may
have fingered with the audience were
rapidly dispelled as the play pro-
crossed and it was seen that the part
allotted to the star was one that called
for ability of the highest class. The
opportunities afforded by the char.
acter Of Cecco for 'protrayal of the hu-
man passions are but little less than
those in some of the others IN which
Mr.. Warde is familiar to the play-go'

actor, such as MI. Warde. He was
Cecco no less than he was the duke

REPORTS
Member of Dawes Indian Commission
Questions Newspaper Articles.

Washington, Jan. 26-The secre-
tary of the interior has received a dis
patch from Acting Chairman Bixby,
Of the commission to the five civilized
tribes, stating that the newspaper re-
ports relative to the Greek uprising
are believed by the commission to be
exaggerated. He says that the United
States marshal and deputies expect to
join at once the troop Of cavalry at
Henrietta and proceed to the council
ground near Sonora mission. He
anticipates immediate subsistence of
the apparent insurrentionary spirit
and return Of settled conditions. He
states that reports of Greek lawless-
ness have stimulated discordant ele-
ments i'll the Choctaw nation and some
difficulty may be experienced there,
durable by the remedy now being APP
piled in the Greek nation.

A THEM IN TRANSIT.
Plan to Assess Cattle on the Trail-Pro-
tect Grazing Lands.

Stock raisers will be especially in
terested in a bill introduced by Sena-
tor W. F. Meyer of Carbon county,
providing for a method of assess
ment, collection and division of taxes
received from any livestock brought
into the state, or moved from one
county to another for grazing purposes
and fixing the penalties for viola
tions.
The bill provides that all livestock
brought into the state for grazing
purposes shall be taxed for the year
in which such stock was brought into
the state. and requires persons bring
ing the stock in to set out in a %certifi-
cate the number of stock, the brands,
and file the certificate with the clerk
of the county into which the stock
was first brought.
If the stock is brought into a coun-
ty prior to the annual tax levy by the
county commissioners, the county
treasurer shall require a payment of 40
cents a head on cattle and 10 cents a
head OH sheep or any other stock. A
provision is made that the money SO
collected in excess of the tax levy
shall be returned to the cattle men
after the levy has been made.
When such stock is moved from one
county to another, the tax collected
IN the county that the stock entered
must be apportioned between the
counties where the stock grazed.
Persons who do not pay such tax after
the stock cross the Montana line are
subject to a fine Of not less than sic
or more than 500 and a forfeit of sc
cents a head for all stock mentioned ir
the certificate.
The penalty for an attempt to move
the stock out of the state to evade the
payment of the tax is a fine of not less
than $40 or more than 500 or impris
onment in the county Jail for not more
than six months. County officers wht
fail to perform their duty are subjec
to a fine of from $25 to 81, 900.

SMALLPOX IN BILLINGS.
Two More Cases Discovered-Pest House
Crowded.

Two new cases Of smallpox were
recorded Friday and the patients
are now in the pesthouse, which is
full to OVERLOOKING, it being necessary
to bring tents into use for the car of
four Of the number. These last cases
originated within the limits Of the
city of Billings, both patients being
men,.
The first case was discovered at the
home of @. L. Tubbs on South Thirty
first street, where a man named Hood
was sick. The man has been i'll for
a few days with what the attending
physician first pronounced measles.
Hood came here very recently from
Alliance, Neb., where between SO and
IS cases of smallpox were reported
only a few weeks ago. The home OF
Mr.. Tubbs has been quarantineed.
The other case was taken from the
lodging establishment Of Mrs. j. d.
Hyer, over the Eugene restaurant, on
North Twenty-seventh street. The
name Of the sufferer is Heath, and he
has been engaged on the Gruwell
building. Heath came here from
Butte, which city has been overrun
with smallpox this winter. The room
at Mrs. Hyer's was fumigated and
cleaned, but the place has not been
guaranteed, the doctor in charge OF
the smallpox cases not thinking il
necessary as no II has come in con
tact with Heath in the house.
One Of the men who has been helt
in quarantine at the grading camp OF
the Toluca-C Cody branch, came into
the city yesterday and went to thu
pesthouse, thinking he had smallpox
DR.. Townsend was at the pesthous'
when the man arrived. He examined
the fellow and finding no signs o
smallpox, told him to make tracks TO
other quarters. The doctor is Of tn
opinion that the fellow had becom'
tired of being detained at the camp
and knowing that he would be wei
cared for at the pesthouse, besides be
ing provided with a new suit 0
clothes when dismissed, decided t.
try a ruse to gain admittance.

TO MAKE RAILROADS LIABLE
For Injuries to Employees Is Object of Bill
by Senator Meyers.

An important measure denfing the
liability of railway companies for in
juries sustained by employees has been
introduced in senate by Senator Meyer.
Thebill makes railroad companies liza
BILE for damages in all cases where en-
ployes are injured, excepting where
the accident is the result of contribu-
tory negligence.
The bill is sweeping in it's character
and expressly provides that employees
injured in any way may, in every case,
recover, with the exception cited.
The bill places the maximum amount
that may be recovered at $4,000, but
does not conflict with any right that
might accrue to recover a larger
amount in common law.
