AFFAIRS AT INDIAN AGENCY
Special Agent MacCOEas Says Trader
Works HOIdup ON Pay
ment Days.

Eugene MacComas, special agent OF the
Interior department. who has been investi-
eating affairs at the Omaha and Winnebago
Indian agency and inspecting the Indian
school at Genoa. arrived in Omaha yester-
day on his way east.
"As the commissioner Of Indian AFFAIRS
has seen At to suppress a part of my re-
port" said Mr.. MacComas, Il do not feel
that Il would be In good taste for me to
say what the suppressed portion contained.
when 1 went to the Omaha and Winnebago
agency / had no Instructions to look into
the matter Of leasing Of land nor the man
agement OF the police. As my instructions
we're to emain at the agency until l had
received further orders. however, I went
into the matter at length. The way the
thing is managed on payment day Is as near
a hoid-up as Is possible to Imagine. The
trader lie permitted to enter the room where
the Indian draws his money. In THAI room
are the trader, his clerk and a number OF
Indian policemen who are easily influenced
by the trader. The Indian who escapes
from that combination with his check Is in
deed fortunate. Under these circumstance
the Indian has little opportunity to develop
as a responsible being. The trader should
have an opportunity to collect his money,
but the man not upon the reservation who
trusts the Indian should have at least one
chance to get his money In all OF the pay
ments which take place.
The leasing system In operation on this
reservation is In bad shape. ] knew moth
ing Of It when I went there. but l found

Mrs. William J. Huston. who runs a res
taurant at sixteenth and California streets,
with the aid Of the police prevented her
husband from selling the restaurant for SIS
Wednesday night. J. II. Baker, J. L. Baker
and w. Deacon, the prospective purchas-
ers. were arrested and locked up on COM
plant Of the woman for disturbing the
peace. They were discharged in police
court yesterday morning.
Mrs. Huston said the three men came
into the restaurant. made a trade with her
husband and then with his assistance pro-
ceeded to discharge her help and run the
business to suit themselves. She said they
announced a menu that could not possibly
have been served and In many other ways
caused her much worry. Huston said he
sold the restaurant for SIS and gave the
men a bill Of sale. and the purchasers had
a right to do as they pleased. Baker said
he was only running the restaurant tenn
porarily while Huston was out SOLDERING up.
Prosecutor Thomas refused to prosecute the
men and they were discharged. Mrs. Hus-
ton failed to appear as a prosecuting wit

that the enforcement OF certain terms Of
the leases was entirely ignored ana that
the sub-lessing system IL working a hard
ship upon all concerned except the favored

By the department which will rave a good

cash upon his leases until he begins to per-

TO PREVENT PERSECUTION
Order of Judge Fawcett in Gas of
e. Rosevvater Against Shields
and Others.

In the case Of Edward Rosewater against
George w. Shields and others, the order
signed by Judge Fawcett, which was pre-
pared by q. w. simeral, attorney for the
plaintiff, said:
This day this cause coming on for trial
ana was by consent of the parties sub
mltted to the court upon the pleadings.
AND the court, being fully advised in the
premises, finds that the numerous ofenses
charged against plaintiff by defendants can
ana should all be Joined In one complaint
charging the several offenses under sepa-
rate counts in said complaint; that the
ming OF so many separate complaints and
causing SO many separate arrests and
trials would be burdensome, vexatious and
oppressive as to plaintiff, would cause I'M
necessary and needless waste of the time
OF the courts In hearing said separate
complaints and entail upon the county
needless expense; that the arrest and trial
OF plaintiff upon said charges under sepa-
rate complaints, instead of under one COM
plant with separate counts therein, would
not be in the interest of justice for the
punishment of crime, but would be Op-
preston and persecution.

INDEPENDENT MARKET
GrOOers' Association and Produce Exchange
Committees Are at Work.
GET OPTION ON HOWARD STREET GROUND
Plan f. 60 Run Wholesale Market
Place without Municipal Control
and Leave Capitol Avenue
Business Alone.

The Retail Grocers' association and the
Produce exchange have been lying low ever
since their Wholesale market ordinance was
pigeonholed ten days ago, but they have
not been idle. Oh the contrary. they have
taken the bit in their mouth, and the result
is a wholesale market will be established
Independent Of the city. which will pay
tribute to it's creators rather than to the
municipality.
A Joint committee Of the exchange and
the association has secured an option on a
half-block Of vacant ground In the vicinity
OF Eleventh and Howard streets (the exact
location IL declines to make public at
presently and upon this It is proposed to
commodation Of about 100 concessionaires,
who will transact an exclusively wholesale
business. d.
at is to serve as a sort Of a general
exchange" said George r. Munro, presi-
dent Of the Retail Grocers' association, land
will be governed by rules Of our own. No
retailing will be permitted there, so It will
not interfere with the Capitol avenue
project. We can rent this half block for
q very reasonable sum, which Will enable
us to dispose Of the booth privileges at a
lower rate than the city did last year.
Being in the immediate vicinity Of where
the market was last year, and, therefore, in
easy communication with the produce COM
mission houses, It Is a much better site for
our purpose than the Capitol avenue site.
THE retail grocers will never patronize
the Capitol avenue market house-that Is
a settled fact. In the first place, II lacks
commercial advantages, and In the second
II Is a tabood district. l wouldn't think Of
sending one of my customers down there.
II the city would erect a market house In
some other locality and put up . building
that would be in keeping with the size and
Importance Of Omaha, the grocers would
give 1t their support, but W don't propose
to go out Of our way and hamper our bus
mess to bolster the schemes of private
spectators.
Considered on a purely practical basis
Of dollars and cents, 1t wouldn't pay us TO
patronize the Capitol avenue market house.
During the market season fruits are the
principal commodity with us, and nine
tenths OF the fruits consumed in Omaha are
shipped in by the commission merchants.
Hence II is to our advantage to buy OF them
and not of the small growers stationed at
the Capitol avenue market, since they
couldn't I'LL our orders. AS to vegetables,
they will be delivered to us direct by the
hucksters, just as they were before a mar
ket was established"
Mayor Moores said: 81 doubt whether
this scheme is strictly legal; it certainly
looks as though the city should get some
revenue out Of it's markets, but at the same
time l don't know of any law prohibiting
the grocers from doing what they propose.
Their view of the case certainly looks
reasonable from their standpoint"

4 TRAGEDY OF THE WOODS.

A story which comes from the
Adirondack region is worthy of a
place among Mr.. Seton-Thomson's
romances of animals. A young
woman staying at one of the hotels
went for walk one day and wan
dered off into the woods, where she
lost herself. Searching parties
were sent out for her as soon as she
was missed, of course, but the
Adirondack Mountains are rather
extensive territory over which to
hunt for one small woman, and SER
iousness was added to the situation
by the fact that cold weather had
set in and the wanderer was likely
to die OF cold il not from hunger
before she could be found. Final
ly, however, she was discovered.

When utterly worn out and chilled.
she bad encountered a deer, who
seemed to take in the fact that she
was, il not of his own sort, at least
a fellow-cieature in distress. He
stood by a moment as she lay on
the ground, and then laid himself
down beside her, where the warmth
of his body kept her from freezing

the searching party was heard APP

WE LIVE LONGER.
Commercial Activity Has Strengthened,
Not Weakened. the Average Man.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
The Census Bureau has issued a
bulletin in which it is shown conclu-
sively that the averaged duration Of
human life in the United States is
steadily and wonderfully increasing.
In 1890, according to the bulletin,
the average age at which Americans
died was 3I.I years in 1900 the
average lifetime was 3s.4 a gain of
as years.
This statement might be ques-
toned were not for the fact that il
is simply corrobrative of the results
reached by life insurance mathema-
ticians, the most experienced and
skillful experts we have in the line
of vital statistics. II should be ex-
planned that the averages of the
Census Bureau are based exclusive.
lY on the death rates in cities of
5000 population and over. The
reason for this is that the informa.
ton from cities Of considerable size
is more reliable than that which can
be obtained from smaller commu.
mites. This fact does not affect
the main propositions in the least.
It would be strange il the inAu.
epce Of modern sanitation were not
made manifest in the prolonpation
Of human life, especially in cities.
The causes TO which the very salts.
factory gain announced by the cen
sus bulletin may be attributed are
numerous. Among them are men
toned more liberal supplies Of
water, intelligent systems Of drain.
age, careful construction Of houses.
better sanitary conveniences in
dwellings, places Of business, &c.
and the more comprehensive knowl-
edge which individuals now possess
regarding the care which they
should take Of their own bodies.
