GeOlogist webster locates work of
the Mound Builders Along Lit
tie Cedar River.

CHARLES CITY, Ia, Feb. 25.-(specisl.)
Prof. Clement L. Webster, the geologist
Of this city, has discovered two groups Of
tombs Of the Mound Builders along the Lit
tie Cedar river in this county (Floyd) some
miles northeast Of Charles City. These
ancient people were q strange and inter-
esring race. Their tombs are located in
a beautiful region along the stream. show
Ing good judgment, where long years be-
fore the white mans advent on Iowa soil
these primitive people lived, moved and had
their being. The tombs are to be explored
and It is believed that such important arch
geological knowledge will be obtained
therefrom as will help unravel the mystery
surrounding the human race. The mounds
found near this city, Webster says, have
yielded up some Of the most famous relics
OF and relating to the lower types Of men
that science has ever known.

Public.

Several members Of the family OF John
q. Schroeder, 1913 Grace street, have been
suffering from smallpox for the last month,
and the fact was not made known to the
health authorities until yesterday, when
the attention OF City PhyslciqA Jennings
was called to the case by q nj syhbor. In
veStigaticn developed the fad& that the
children had had the disease and had kept
from school for twenty days, but had been
sent back yesterday morning to the Pierce
street school, although the mother was still
sick with smallpox.
John Schroeder is a bartender employed
in Peter Helms saloon on Broadway and
he has continued at his work during the
illness Of his family. No physician was
called and both Schroeder and his wife
stated to the city physician that they were
that the disease was smallpox.
The house was at once placed under
quarantine and Schroeder was sent home
from his place Of business with instruc-
lions from the officers to remain there un-
til the quarantine was raised. Mrs. Meis-
ner, nurse, living across the street from
the Schroeders, who had attended Mrs.
Schroeder, was also quarantined.
City Physician Jennings characterised the
case as the most fragrant disregard Of the

Schroeder should be prosecuted.
Smallpox Conference Fruitless.
The conference between the committees
from the city Board OF Health and the
county Board Of Supervisors, over the ques-
tion Of providing additional isolation hos
pltal facilities. more especially for female
smallpox patients, held yesterday afternoon,
failed to accomplish anything.
The situation was thoroughly discussed,
but the committee from the county board
failed to see how It could assist the city
health authorities, in view Of the fact that
County Attorney Killpack gave 1t as his
opinion that the statutes did not provide
for the appropriation Of money by the
county for such purposes.
Supervisor Baker expressed the hope that
the legislature at its present session might
amend the existing avs SO as to provide
a way whereby funds could be appropriated
to meet such contingencies, and at his sug>
gestion the conference was adjourned until
after the close of the session of the state
legislature.
Mayor Jennings and Aldermen Hammer
and Lougee OF the city committee were pres
emit at the conference. while the full com
mittee Of the county board, comprising Su-
pervisors Brandes, Baker and Kerney, was

rHE sHrp SUBSIDY BILL

AS was expected the Senate
passed the shipping bill on Mon
day by d vote of AZ to 81, being o
party vote, except that six Re
publicans voted with the Demo
Gratis and one Democrat with the
Republicans. No doubt is felt
that the bill will pass the House
as the Republicans have a major
ity of A in that body. When
this is done the contest that has
been carried on for more than
thirty years will have ended and
protection will be accorded our
merchant marine engaged in the
foreign trade.
1t is a fact that it costs more
to build ships in this country
than in foreign yards, due to the
higher scale of wages paid by
American hip-builders. This
greater cost and the larger ex-
pense of operating owing to the
higher wages paid and better
food served, makes it impossible
to operate American ships in our
carrying trade. This bill makes
up the difference by small sub
sidy that will have to be voted
every year as the River aid Hat Htaa E
Dor bill is passed. Thus the peo-
pie through their Representa-
tives always have this part of
the bill under control.
The other part has reference
to the payments for carrying the
mail. In 1891 a bill was passed
intended to provide for this, but
owing to the rates of payment
being reduced it has proved a
failure. The present bill merely
restores the rates as passed by
the Senate in 1891, with pro-
viso that the contracts shall be
put out to the lowest and best
bidder.
Assurances have been given
that the enactment of this law
will result in the establishment
of new lines to China, the Phil
ippines, South America and other
parts of the world where these
lines are now needed. It will
not only increase our commerce,
but keep at home the large sums
now paid in freights to foreign
ers, and furnish needed auxil-
1iary cruisers. The entire cost
being limited to nine millions in
any one year is hardly the cost of
a single battleship.
