Washington, ID. c., Dec. 21.-The
contest between Sioux City, Ia, and
st. Paul and Minneapolis was decided
today in favor of Sioux City by the

freight rates from Sioux City to points
in the northwest were unreasonable,
in that they exceeded rates from st.

tinations.
Both cities fought the Sioux City

ordered a reduction in Sioux City rates
to point equal to the present rates
from st. Paul and Minneapolis to Sub

ing nineteen veterinarians supplied bv

Clay, real good work is being done. In
some of the others the extent of CO.
operation is problematic, dependent upon
the number of vats provided by the
county or private individuals and the
extent they will he utilized. Holmes
county has set a new pace and will soon
have $50 watts in use, and with all of
its cattle being dipped every fourteen

Search Of Woman's Home Revealed
Fortune of $1,000. 600.
Representatives of the state lunacy
commission will apply to the courts in
New York for the appointment of rep
resentatives to care for the estate of
Miss Jane Perkins Williams, an aged
Brooklyn spinster, whose wealth was
revealed only through her commit
ment to an asylum.
Miss Williams has been living the
life OF a recluse for many years in
one-story, dilapidated frame shack on
an undeveloped avenue in Brooklyn
Several days ago neighbors COM
planned that Miss Williams, who is IS
years old, needed attention. She was
removed to the Long Island state hos
pital for the insane, and special
agents went to her hovel to find out
something about her. as she had reso-
lutely refused to talk about herself.
What the agents found in the hovel
gave them the surprise of their lives.
Buried Beneath thousands of old
newspapers and heaps OF trash, they
found stocks, bonds, mortgages and
other parors representing nearly
e5ou,O00 mere in safety deposit vaults
in New York, Brooklyn and Albany
Stocks and bonds worth thousands
of dollars were tucked away in old
china, in an ancient mattress, in holes
in the walls and under the floor.
Bundles of letters which had never
been opened contained checks for div
idends which the old woman had
never collected.

conflicting purposes is being straight
ened out in the senate, and an adj
journment before July l now, for the
first time, seems a possibility. Sen
ator Cummins, CT Iowa, and Senator
LaFollette, of Wisconsin, are said to
be willing to vote for the reciprocity
bill regardless of whether the Cum
Minis amendments are added to the

1t is now practically certain that the

senate. The insurgents, it can be
stated, will not vote for it.

Jaekson.-Headed by former Lieut.
Gov. Joseph A. Trautman Of Kansas, a

eating the possibilities offered to pur.
ehasers of Mississippi lands, and their
visit to this city will undoubtedly re-
sult in the sale of valuable tracts BY
local real estate men within the next
few weeks
The visit of the Northern gentlemen
to Mississippi was nstigated several
weeks ago by the purchase of Mr.. Traut-
man Of large tract of land Immediate
ly south of this city, for speculative prr-
poses. MIR. Trautman returned to To
peka, his hone town, with such brilliant
reports of the progress of the Southern
states, that his neighbors expressed
their doubts as to the validity of his
claims, to all of which Gov. Trautman
offered the simple invitation to Come
and seel"
The party was accordingly made up
and intend visiting all portions of the
state for the purpose of making a COM
parative study of the resources of the
state. The delta win be visited and
should prove an attractive proposition
to the Northern investors

list manufactured articles calculated
to benefit the farmers of the country
reached its final day of general dis.
cussion in the house Saturday.
When the bill is taken up under the
five-minute rule, Monday, to be passed
before adjournment, a number of
amendments will be presented by
members of the minority The demo
cratic leaders asserted today, how
ever, that all amendments would be
voted down and the bill passed as
agreed upon in the democratic caucus.
The report of the committee on ter
ritories relating to statehood for Ari-

next Legislation on the pogram. The
subcommittee to which the matter
was referred will report to the full
committee on Monday, and it will re-

suggestion that the question of the

Arizona at an early date and that the
people of New Mexico be given an op-

TO OPEN BOTH vEsTIBULES.
Railroads of State Are Opposed to Com
missions Plans.

Jackson.-One of the most strenuous
fights anticipated by the Mississippi
railroad commission for its June session
is that which will undoubtedly be waged
by all the railroads in the state against
proposed regulation of the commission,
enforcing the keeping open of beth YES
tibules of all coaches while admitting
passengers at station points throughout
the state.
The matter has been discussed with
prominent railroad officials in the state
and they have declared themselves as
unalterably opposed to the intended ac-
tion of the commission. 1t will mean,
they say, the addition of trainmen to
each passenger crew, an increased ex-
penditure thereby becoming imminent,
with no possibility of additional reve-
nue. to overcome this expense.
All rail lines in the state are at pres
ent keeping only one vestibule open of
each coach, thereby delaying the admis-
sion Of passengers to the coaches until
all of the outgoing passengers have been
accommodated

PENNED IN THE CAPITAL.
Rebel Chiefs Of Morocco Have

Rebel Chiefs Of Morocco Have a
Growing Moral Advantage.
A Fez, Morocco, dispatch says: The
arrival of Captain Bremond's French
column has not changed the situation,
and the investment of the capital con-
tinues. The rebel horsemen who are
beyond reach of artillery have cut off
the food supplies The sultan's troops
are worn out with the constant skir-
mishing and watchfulness.
The rebel chiefs have growing
moral advantage since now all Moroc-
co knows that the sultan is penned
up in the capital and that his loyal
troops are unable to move outside the
range of their artillery. The rebels
are now obtaining the upper hand
throughout the country.
Tribes heretofore loyal are Joining
the rebellion through fear that the vii
lages of those refusing will be raided
The arrival of the French relief ex
pedition will secure the entry of pro
visions and the safety of the capital
but the political outlook is confused
ind uncertain.
