UTES ARE RESTLESS.
They May Keep the Soldiers Busy All
Winter.

Omaha, Neb., Nov. 7.-Col. Frank West
and eight troops of the Second U. s. cav
airy from Fort Des Moines were ferrfed
across the Missouri at Forest City oppo-
site the Cheyenne agency in South Dakota
after reaching Gettysburg and marching
mand will continue the march for Thun-
der ButteS, eighty miles further west. 1t
now appears to the army men that the
campaign against the Utes may keep the
soldiers busy all winter.
The two companies of the Sixteenth in
fantry from Fort Crook will reach Get
tySburg tonight. These companies will re-
lieve the small detachment of the Second
cavalry, having charge of the base of sup
plies at Gettysburg. Detachments of the
infantry companies will then be assigned
to duty from Cheyenne river agency,
Whitehorse and other points between
Thunder Buttes and the Missouri river.
Large quantities of food and forage sup
country for large a body of men and
animals for the campaign against the
Utes, which it now seems may continue
well into the winter.
Utes Are Restless.
Huron S. D., Nov flames Macomber
reached here today from the scene of the
Indian troubles. He says the Utes are
made. A few dissatisfied Sioux have
Joined the Utes, and while there is no oc-
casion for immediate alarm, it is a fact
that the matter may become serious at
any moment
The trouble originated from fear that
the government would withhold rations
and with the approach of winter the In
dams apprehended destitution.
Several men here who desire to go to
the reservation were informed that no
cross the river, and close watch is being
kept all visitors.

FOR AMERICAN CONTROL
President Palma Advocates Continu-
ance of the Status Quo.

Havana, Nov. 7.-Estrada Palma,
formerly president of Cuba, has au-
thorized the publication of his views
regarding American intervention. He
declares publicly in favor of American
control in Cuba.
"It is enough to satisfy my con-
science" he said this conviction of
having saved my beloved country from
anarchy and it's natural results of plum
der and ruin"
He continued, describing what he
considers the criminal acts on the part
of the revolutionists, and the necessity
to call on the Americans to prevent a
protracted and sanguinary contest.
eff I did right or wrong, time will
say. That my attitude was imm ediate-
ly jus stified is proved by the sudden re-
establishment of peace through the
moral and material influence of the
Americans. do not hesitate to de-
clare that it is thousand times better
for our Cuba to be an independent
political nation, where liberty is nre-
vailing, than in a republic Independent
of a sovereign but discredited and
ruined by blasting periodical civil
strifes."
The letter is considered important as
Mr.. Palma still commands great inf1u-
ence among a large number. of Cubans.

of the saloon as their single aim, the
prohibitionists of the country have op-
ened their national campaign.

with reports from workers in 80 other
states. induced the belief that the pres

widespread reform and place prohibi

GRAND JURY ASSURED.
Requisite Number of Signatures Has
Been Secured.

The requisite number of signers to
the petitions for the calling of a grand
jury to investigate the charges which
surround the construction of the Fifth
and Sixth ward sewers has been Sc
cured. Four hundred were necessary
and this number has now been Sc
cured. However, the petitions will be
still circulated in order that everyone
who desires to ask for the convening
of a grand jury by Judge Dana may
have this opportunity.
w. f. King, formerly assistant city
engineer, whose name has been mixed
up in some of the charges, has signed
a petition but his name has not been
torn off by the city attorney, who
would not permit James McCabe, the
former city engineer, to leave his
name attached to a petition.
The fact that a man has signed a
petition does not disbar him from be-
ing placed on the grand jury should
his name be drawn. The securing of
a grand jury, it is believed, will be
big task, for many have already
formed an opinion one way or the
other as to the merits of the charges
that have been made

ITINERARY OF FLEET.
Where and When the Bob Evans Ships
Will Touch.

Washington, Nov. 7-The fleet itin-
erary of Admiral Evans battleship
fleet on it's voyage to San Francisco
was made public at the navy depart
the fleet will assemble at Hampton
Roads on December 9 and depart from
there December 16, touching on the way
to San Francisco at Trinidad, Rio De
Janeiro, Punta Arenas. Callao and
Magdalena bay. 1t is scheduled to ar
rive at Trinidad, December "a, Rio De
Janeiro January IL, at Punta Arenas
January 81, at Callao February Is and
at Magdalena bay March IA. At each
of these places it will remain from five
to eleven days, except at Magdalena
bay, from which place the date of de-
parture depends upon the completion of
target practice there. For the same
reason date of arrival at San Francisco
has not been determined.
The torpedo boat destroyer hotilla
will leave Hampton Roads December
2, and because of their greater speed,
more limited draught and smaller tom
mage, these boats will stop at many
more places than the battleships.
The stay of the torpedo boat Destroy
ers at each port wi1E be about four or
five days. The itinerary contemplates
their arrival at the various places as
follows:
cember Is; Para, December 26; Per-
nambuco, January s. Rio De Janeiro,

NO MORPHINE.
X. U. Experts Say There Was No
Traces of Poison In Perkins Stomach.

Lawrence, Kan, Nov. THE con-
ference of the attorneys for the Per-
kins' estate, which was expected to be
held Wednesday, was postponed until
Friday on account of the funeral of
Alfred Whitman. one of the trustees of
the estate.
The toxicologists made two reports
upon their examination, one giving the
results of the examination and the
other stating the procedure by which
they found the results. The attorneys
here have received copies Of these find
ings and will go over them carefully
before they hold their conference and
decide definitely upon the future
course of their case. While there is
some inclination here to accept the
finding of the toxioologists as proving
that Perkins committed suicide by taxi
ing morphine, it is recognized that tho
case is far from settled. The family's
lawyers have a group of experts who
also made an analysis, and who. 1t is
stated, reported that they found no
traces of poison. The jury will have to
choose between experts. Also. the
lawyers for the company must not only
prove suicide but must prove that
when he took out his policies he did so
intending to commit suicide.

AN UP TO DATE FABLE.

Once upon time there was a certain
newspaper in certain western city
that grieved and was sore at heart be-
cause large numbers of the people re-
fused to subscribe.
Let us hire corps of canvassers and
go into every street and house in town.
These smooth tongued fellows will talk
the people into taking the paper wheth-
er they want 1t or not
''It won't work." said the big boss.
1--WE have tried that too often. Besides
think what it would cost. We can't
afford to spend the money"
Then came a wise man into the con-
ference. He had wide knowledge in
worldly affairs and he spoke thusly:
Eyes, it is true that we must try a
new scheme. We have sold the people
out of date books and cheap pictures,
razors that wouldn't shave and scissors
that wouldn't cut and silver tableware
that wasn't silver and beautiful china
that wasn't china and we must try
new dodge. Let US do it in the name
VI CIidAlIys ally Cdl DC uOAC Az
the name of charity. We will offer
prizes, which we can get in exchange for
little advertising space, to the church
societies and charitable organizations
for the largest number of subscribers
and straightway will the members
thereof visit every dwelling in the city,
yea, every hovel begging in the name
of sweet charity that the people sub
scribe for our paper and thus enable
them to win the prize piano or watch
of the great charitable organization. No
door can be shut in the face of charity
and great will be the results in our
failing subscription list and cash box.
1t may look like a lottery on close
inspection but the people will not care
for that so long as it is in the name of
charity. After the people have been
worked to subscribe we will have their
money and they will have to take the
paper 1t is sure as death. 1t can't
fail. In no other way can we secure
such persistent canvassers and all with
out paying out a single dollar and they
won't even know they are being work.
ed''
And straightway was the great
scheme adopted and the cause of sweet
charity was thus greatly advanced.

Raymond Hitchcock Resumes
Work at the AstOr.
House Was Crowded and Cheers
Greeted Him.
HE LOOKED HAGGARD.
And Had Difficulty in Reading
His Lines.
Broke Down and Wept When
His Wife Kissed Him.

New York, Nov. Raymond
Hitchcock, the actor, who gave him
self up to the authorities yesterday,
resumed his role at the Astor theater
last night and was given demonstra-
tive welcome.
week ago an understudy took his
place. The house was crowded when
the star made his appearance, which
was the sign for rousing applause. The
actor looked haggard and ill, and his
voice was uncertain as he spoke his
lines. Meantime his wife, who plays
opposite him, was in tears, and with
difficulty followed her cue.
At every opportunity the audience
applauded with enthusiasm, until at
the end of the second act the come
dian stepped to the front of the stage
and in tremulous voice said:
Il want to thank you all for your
applause and encouragement, I hope
shall always deserve it."
Upon Mrs. Hitchcock's second en-
trance the action called upon her to
shake her husbands hand. AS they
stood there with hands clasped the
cheers were deafening and for mo-
ment both performers seemed unable
to continue and then Miss Zabelle
placed her disengaged hand on her
husbands shoulder and kissed him. At
this Hitchcock broke down complete
ly, and there were many wet eyes in
the audience
Wallace Berry, who rose in a day
from the chorus to the star part when
Raymond Hitchcock, the comedian, re-
Gently disappeared in the face of crimi-
nal charges, was back in his minor part
last night, as the result of Hitchcock's s
temperance.
II was the happiest man in New
York, when Hitchcock came back" he
said, 'I tell you I was glad even If 1t
does put me back in the chorus. There's
one thing, though, that makes me feel
a bit blue. My mother is on her way
from Kansas City to see me in the
star part and she won't get here until
tomorrow. She thinks I'm the best ac-
tor there is, you know and I wish she
had gotten here a couple of days ago."
