Africa has been begun here against col
ored preachers sent by American mis-
sionary societies who, it is alleged have
been filling the minds of the natives

SOUTHERN SPRING BELArED.
Farming Conditions in Mississippi Not
at All Promisinu.

at All TFOfniSIV9s
Jackson. Miss, Feb. 19.-The former
members of the legislature, and they
tare in very decided majority, are
beginning to get fidgety and want to
go home. The time of year has rolled
around when it is incumbent on the
Mississippi farmer to begin to turn
over the dirt. and yet 1t is doubtful if
a pillow has been stuck into the bosom
of mother earth this year, unless, per-
hapS, in the extreme southern por
ton, where the soil is light and sandy.
The season has been cold and wet and
disagreeable for more than month,
so that no farm work could be done.
Ordinarily it is the case that many
farmers have their corn planted and
their cotton land cleaned off by the
middle of February. but not so this
time. and the prospect is not brighter
than the weather. The corn crop last
year was distressingly short; in fact
very few farmers made a sufficient
quantity to run their places until the
first OF the present year, and these had
prepared TO put in oats to help out In
the early spring, but now comes the
report that all the fall planted oat
crop has been killed by the repeated
freezes, and IL will be necessary to re-
plant. There is no telling what the
cotton acreage is going TO be thus far
in advance. but the proba bilty is that
1t will be smaller than last year, so as
to enable the farmer to give more time
and attention TO feed crops for man
and beast. Corn is now selling here
at 81 per bushel.

INDIANS REGISTER COMPLAINT.
Musquakies Think They Are Being Use
| Iessly Detained in Quarantine.

| Jim Peters, a well-known Indian of
the Iowa Sac and Fox reservation near
Tama, has addressed lengthy COM
munication thru his attorney to the
| Times Republican setting forth state
ments tending to show that the reser-
walton is being held under smallpox
quarantine much longer than is nee
essary, and should be released. He
states that the Indians have been under
quarantine 119 days. and that during
100 days of that time have obeyed all
the quarantine regulations to the letter.
Fifty-five days have elapsed since a
new case was reported. He says:
I'VE have been compelled to remain
on the reservation while fathers, moth
ers, husbands wives and children died
for want of food and clothing sufficient
to sustain life thru the dreadful pesti-
lence. A deaf ear was turned to our
appeal for aid. DR.. Linn, of the state
board of health, said the whites sur
rounding the reservation must be pro-
tected and that rigid quarantine must
therefore be established, to all of which
we have patiently submitted.
Have we not from humane stand
point a right to ask that this quaran-
tine be raised? We are ready and will
ing to pay all expense of renovating the
camp. For a month we have repeated
ly asked release of Agent Malin and of
the mayors of towns surrounding the
reservation, and it avails us nothing
Mr.. Peters pays his respects to Agent
Malin in page or two of his communi-
ton, in matters, however. foreign to the
smallpox situation. and adds:
Both whites and Indians notified the
agent in August that smallpox existed
on the reservation, and not until Oct. 81
did he admit that it was smallpox, or
take steps to prevent it's spread among
the Indians and whites. Then. after the
examination by Drs. White, Carpenter
and Thompson. who reported between
thirty and forty cases of virulent small
poX, Malin came out in the T.-R. with a
statement that three cases existed and

WALKING THE STREET WITH
SMALLPOX


The police and board of health MEM
censed this morning to find that John
Ulrich had been walking about the
streets i'll of smallpox. The citizens do
not blame Ulrich. but know there must
be something wrong somewhere. A
physician called on Ulrich yesterday
and told him he had the smallpox and
that he would have him sent to the
pest house. Ulrich has been roonling
at the home of John Simmons, the bar
Der, on Lafayette street. and he dressed
last night and waited expecting vehi-
Gle would come to send him to the pest
house. None came. however, and this
morning he waited again in vain.
Growing thoroughly alarmed and being
hungry, he left the room and went IN
search of some one TO take him To the
streets, he found Marshal SimmerlnS.
who hurried him out of town and III
rected him to the detention hospital
No notice of the mans condition was
ever reported to the city hall and the
police learned nothing thru the official
health officer of Ulrich's condition.
There is little use in striving against
smallpox If men are to walk the streets
with the disease. Blame attaches to
some one in cases of this sort and
should be allowed TO fall where ii be-
longs.
