W. A. JONES FULL MEDICATION

The Washington Correspondent of

dian Commissioner Jones has taken
steps to invite The Outlook, and
some other publications that have
attacked him, to explain to their
readers the result of the senate sub
committees investigation into the
grave charges that were made
against him. A good idea of the ba-
sis for these charges may be had from
the fact that letter written by one
William V. Wade of North Dakota
to Senator J. X. Jones of the senate
committee on Indian affairs, furnish
ed the authority on which the at
tacks were made. Since Mr.. Wade
was here to testify before the inves-
tigating committee, which reported
that the charges were baseless, he
has voluntarily written the commits

fore the senate sub. committee, May

and consequently was not knowingly
or unknowingly connected with any
company seeking leases of said lands.

TAXATION.

CnlcHy III more JhH OlllCcIs All" Hhol'
taxes: and In consequence good Citl-
2ens OF all shades of political opinion
are becoming justly indignant The
editor OF The Dodgeville Chronicle
evidently understands what the citi-
zens OF Iowa county are thinking and
talking about. He says;
"The taxpayers of this county are
awakening to the Importance Of the
subject Of assessment and tax laws,
and their discussion may afford valu-
able thought among the people gen
orally who will be competent to i'm
part it to the members OF the lcgisIa-
turc, who in turn will crystalline 1t
into law"
In Iowa county, however, where the
assessment Is being made In a quiet,
business-like manner, the awakening
of public interest is as nothing com
pared with the storm Of Indignation
which has been aroused In some COun-
ties where the election officers are
going about their duties with busLIlng
activity and with railing accusations
on their lips and in the newspapers.

tempt was the laying of heavy and OK

to unjustly impose heavy burdens
upon policy holders, and at the next

campaign, tax reform was most prom

tirely and the piers left standing.
The wind which did the mischief was
preceded by rain and hail from the north.
accompanied by thunder and lightning.
Suddenly the wind shifted a little to the
south, and 1t was at this juncture that the
catastrophe occurred. One man claiming
to be an eyewitness declared the bridge
was struck by lightning and vent down a
sheet Of fire. There has always been more
or less difference in opinion on this point.
1t was Mr.. Pearson's first impression that
lightning struck the bridge and that the
two spans were torn from their places COW
cred with flames.
Mr.. Parsons shanty, with him inside,
was caught under one end Of the bridge
and among some brush on the river bank.
He was cut about the face and for some
time was imprisoned within his narrow
cell. Realizing that a Union Pacific train
was due to cross the bridge at $40, less
than two hours after the terrible accident,
the faithful Waterman became desperate
In his anxiety to get out Of his battered
shanty and make his way over the river
to give the alarm and keep the train from
plunging on the wrecked bridge into the
river with its human freight.
He finally succeeded in tearing his way
out OF the shanty. Fortunately a small
canoe was at hand. Into this he jumped ant

ton goes back even farther. He helped
build the first Union Pacific bridge across
the Missouri river in 1872, and he has been
the faithful vigil at the rivers edge ever
since.
IT eventful storm of August 25, 1877,
came early in the morning, about $3.50. 1t
was the elimination Of a series Of strong
winds which had prevailed for several
days. Tremendous rains had distorted the
old Missouri then as now, and 1t was leap
ing its banks in many places. Excessive
tides caused the t~reacherous stream to
form a CUTOFF, and for days the railroad
company, fearing damage to its bridge, kept
forces of men at work throwing in riprap
on the east side, as indications were that
the channel would sweep against the Iowa
approach. thus the destruction Of the
eastern extremity Of the bridge had been
anticipated.
Mr.. Pearson's shanty was situated at
that time on the Iowa side of the river in
stead Of on the Nebraska side, as 1t is to-
day. He saw the fatal storm coming, in
a few seconds heard the tremendous roar
and splash as the two spans Of the bridge
were twisted from their pillars and hurled
into the water.
It was a thrilling experience for him,
and came near being a fatal one. His little
shanty went down with the last span of
the bridge. which rested with one end on
the Iowa bank. while the other end was In
