CHICAGO, Jan. 2S-Mrs. J. G..
Speicher, wife of Acting Overseer
Speicher, of Zion City, is dead as the
result of consumption. Hers is the
second death which has followed the
inroad of sickness among John Alex
ander Dowie's chiefs and followers and
against which the prayers of the first
apostle" have seemingly been of no
avail.
The body of Deacon Carl F. Stern, for
many years Dowie's chief of police, ar
rived in Zion City tonight. Prepara-
tions have been made for an imposing
double funeral tomorrow. Stern died
while en- route to the Bahama islands,
where Dowie is suffering from chronic
stomach trouble and his wife is des-
perately i'll. 1t is said that an inves-
tigation of the death of Mrs Speicher
will be made by the state board of

1417 G Street
WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 2S.-The
secretary of the interior has written to
Tams Bixby, of Minnesota, chairman
of the Dawes Indian commission, ask
Ing if the report is true that Bixby has
not drawn his salary for year. The
government is not worried because
Bixby is without his salary, but it is
said the reason is that Bixby refused
to subscribe to an oath that he is not
interested in any Indian lands, this
oath being required of the commits
sioners and employees before they can
draw pay.
The disbursing bureau for the COM
mission is at Muskogee, /. T., and
the department here has no di-
rect knowledge. Representative Ste
phens, of Texas, introduced a resolu-
ton which the house passed, calling
on the department for information on
this point.
Bixby was on the carpet in Wash
ington year ago and had several IN
terviews with the president relative
to his reported connection with trust
companies which deal in Indian lands.
He was retained in his position on the
understanding that he would sever his
connection with such concerns and
dispose of lands which might en-
barrass him in the performance of his
duty. If it appears that Bixby has
not compiled with the conditions he
may lose his salary or his official head,

Fire Was Under Control

OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 20, go a. m.-
Fire in the wholesale district of this
city has consumed property valued at
100000 or more, and the flames are
still raging.
The fire started at 10:3O last night
in the fruit commission house of J. r.
Snyder at Eleventh and Howard streets
and, although a general alarm brought
the entire fire department to the scene,
the flames had gathered such headway
that they could not be checked. They
spread rapidly to adjoining business
places in the same building, and by
1:30 o'clock had entirely destroyed a
solid half block of fve-story buildings
between Harvey and Howard streets
and Eleventh street and the alley in
the rear. AT that hour the firemen di
rected their efforts to prevent the
wholesale paper house of Carpenter
Paper company and to the main build

from the burning structures and the
latter directly across Howard street

hours. They ate their way into the

ways. This structure was an entire
loss, together with the stock of the
Kirkendall Shoe company
To the west of this building was the
Martin-Cott Hat company. wholesal-
ers, whose stock was almost entirely
destroyed. The flames spread to the
Porter, Riorsen & Hoobler company, de-
stroying the stock and building, and by
2 o'clock the building occupied by the
Carpenter Paper company, covering a
quarter of block, at Twelfth and
Howard streets, was threatened.

mated as follows: M. E. Smith Dry

SPURN FREE SEED
Northwestern Farmers Send
Protests to Washington
Globe Special Washington Service
1417 G Street

Globe Special Washington Service
1417 G Street
WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. pa
new phase of the seed wheat problem
appears in protests which have begun
to come from farmers in the North
west, who say they do not want Cana
dian wheat imported free Of duty and
do not want congress to pass joint
resolution temporarily suspending the
duty on seed wheat. The statement of
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture
Hays that there is good seed wheat in
Minnesota and other Northwestern
states is verified by reports from farm
ers. Prof. Hays takes the ground that
the fine pedigreed wheat evolved at the
state experimental stations will give a
much heavier yield than the large
Canadian wheat. All that is neces-
sary is to screen out the heaviest of
the kernels. Farmers who have this
seed feel that they have a right to sell
It for premium prices, and the scien-
lists of the agricultural department
back them up.
representative Tawney is now dis
posed to go slow in pushing the reso-
luton before the ways and means COM
mittee and Representative Steenerson
has begun to see it from the stand
point of the Minnesota farmers.
