Hedberg at Chicago, the find- tegs of that tribunal, a reprimand for the accused, will be disapproved by the President of the United States. Ever si ce the court met at Fort Snelling some weeks ago for the trial of Lieut. Maney there have been rumors as to the char­ acter of the findings, and a story was a#nt put after the adjournment of the court that the court-martial had con­ cluded to compel a forfeiture of pay •ltd allowances for one year. But no one outside of the court-room dreamed that such a light sentence as • mere iteprihiirid would lie imposed for fiuch a gi&ve crime as the killing of a brother offi­ cer. After all the testimony had been submitted and the case had been thor­ oughly investigated by this army court, its members decide that a fit punish­ ment would be a reprimand for the Render; and that is as far as •hey go into the matter. To say that the War Department officials •re exasperated over this finding is witting it mildly. It is in the prov­ ince of the President to make such a ruling or order as he may see tit in promulgating the sentence of the court, and from the tenor of previous conversations with the Secretary of War en the subject it. is expected that a scathing arraignment will em­ ulate from the White House. Ever since the mistrial, as the War Depart­ ment authorities called it, in the civil proceed ngs against Lieut. Maney there has been prevalent at the War De- Brtment an opinion that the young eutenant merited dismissal from the ffcrvice. ; . ' NEWS NUGGETS.

A CLOUDBURST broke over Penn Valley, Pa., deluging the land and washing away entire fields of crowing grain. The damage is wor.-e than that inflicted by the recent flood. The downpour of water was accompanied by a severe electric storm. Three boys, William and Eddie Loz and Charles Hunter, who took refuge under a tree, were struck by lightning. Kddie Loz and Hunter are fatally injured. William Loz will recover. A cloud­ burst, accompanied by hail and high wind, struck Ellsworth, Kan.

THE annual report of the Dnluth and Iron Range Railroad, which is one of the great ore-hauling roads of the country, shows: Earnings, $1,202,864; operating expenses, $501,034; net earn­ ings, $621,830; interest and' fixed charges, $453,171; surplus, $168,659. The. road hauled 1,197,117 tons of freight and 95,158 passengers. The business this year will be far in excess of that of iastiyear, over 268,000 gross tons paving; been carried last month alone. ON Tuesday afternoon, with an air most cloudless sky, a terrific wind' storm broke upon Chadron, Neb., re­ sulting in much damage to property and at least one fatality. While it could not properly be called a cyclone or a tornado, it was the most severe wind ever heard of in that Region. It was impossible to see across the Street on account of flying dirt and graVel, while signs, boxes, chicken-cooDs, and gates, as well as the roofs of many uildings, were flying around as ' if made or paper. A SPECIAL from Havre, Itfont., says. The Cree tun dance has just been con­ cluded here, after going on for three day?. Every sheriff in the State had been instructed to prevent the dance at any hazard, but there was no inter­ ference here. Three braves were hung up by thongs thrust into slits in their breasts, slashed by Little Eggs, the chief. All fainted before the ordeal was over. A young buck had slits cut in his shoulders, and to the inserted thongs were tied four buffalo sKulls which he dragged after him. Eighty pieces of flesh were cut from his arms to be kept as tokens. CONSERVATIVE physicians Of St Louis are contemplating a crusade against the incompetent wielders of the surgeon's knife. Many physicians complain that capital operations are being performed when there was no necessity for them. Of the e opera­ tions laparotomy seems to have been the favorite of the amateurs. Dr. Thomas O'Reilly, a prominent sur­ geon, has written a letter to Health Commissioner Homan in which he calls Dr. Homan's attention to the many deaths resulting from laparotomy. He characterizes the knife of the surgeon when employed in such operations to be fully as dangerous as that of the •fSbst' estate.* CONSUL GIBSON, of Guaymas, re­ ported to Secretary Gresham the story that two Americans have been killed and eaten by cannibals in Tiburon Isl­ and, Lower California.

Neverth4M%, Mexican troops will thoroughly investigate the affair. >;i A WASHINGTON (D. C.) newspaper publishes an exposure of a plot which had for its object the destruction of the Capitol, and perhaps other Gov­ ernment buildings, which has been slowly developing for several weeks. The secret service and ponce au­ thorities, however, have been kept informed of the movements of the plotters, and would have been able to thwart them had their machinations approached actual vio­ lence. According to the story, the plot was formed at the time Coxey's army was marching to the Capitol, and reports,of its existence came from various points, Omaha, Neb., Chicago, and Pittsburg, Pa., among them. The prime mover in the anarchist plot-- that is, in the Washington end of it-- was said to bo Honore J. Jaxon. He came from Chicago and is still in Washington. He is a professional Indian. In Chi­ cago he had been a disturber for years. At the time of the Haymarket riot he narrowly escaped being arrested as a principal conspirator. and was shadowed by the detectives for a long time after that affair. He was one of Louis Riel's lieutenants during the Canadian rebellion some years ago.

WHEAT surprised its best friends at Chicago Monday, moving up with great strides until 34 cents advance had been scored and closed with 2 21 cents net gain for the day. It is difficult to determine whether this came mostly from foreign markets4,000 mile; away or from influences at work on the floor of the exchange. No doubt both had much to do with the sharp advance which changed a de­ pressed market to one of buoyancy and animation. Instead of following the weakness of two davs before, the for­ eign markets ruled higher from the start and closed at the best prices of the day. The motive abroad seemed to be the weather conditions on the continent, which were again unfavor­ able, inducing the foreigners to cover the distant deliveries in New York (which was decidedly higher all day) and Chicago. WEDNESDAY ' evening' 'Omaha was swept by one of the strongest storms experienced in years. Shade trees and shrubbery were bldtvn down, and in some places traffic was blocked by trees falling across the street. At Jefferson square, near the center of the city, nearly every tree wa$ blown down. A part of the roof of the Woodman linseed oil works was! blown off and the Murray Hotel was partially unroofed. The glass roof of the Bee Building was damaged. : All the fences and some of the buildings at the Cmaha Driving Park were lev­ eled. At Courtland I'each a man was caught in a boat on the lake and drowned. At the Ames avenue btreet car house one of the electric wires was blown into a tree and Fpremap Parish climbed up to disentangle it. He re­ ceived a fatal shock from the wire. At Lincoln, Neb., -the storm was similar to the one in Omaha, only a severe gale with no serious damage and no Toss of life, as far as could be learned.

THE clubs of the National and West­ ern Leagues stand as follows in the championship race: *•, Bad Now In Sight. Tariff leaders of the House are pre­ paring to handle the tariff bill expe­ ditiously when it comes back to that body, savs a Washington correspond­ ent. No definite program has yet been arranged, but the plans have ma­ tured sufficiently to satisfy those in charge of the bill that there will not be another long-drawn-out debate. If need be a series of special rules will be presented to close debate on various schedules and then a final rule to wind up the whole question. Such a course will be adopted, however, only in case the debate gives promise of becoming interminable. In will not be used to limit a reasonable discussion of the Senate changes. Members of the WayB and Means Committee expect the bill to bo returned to the House within the next ten days. It is expected, how­ ever, that there will ba several days' delay after the bill passes the Senate in order tha a careful revision of the Senate changes may be made and a new print of the bill issued. Representative Breckinridge of Ar­ kansas, a member of the committee, says the first step in the House on the receipt of the bill will ba to refer it to the Ways and Means Committee. This body WJII take several days, perhaps a week, in carefully going over the bill, and determining on the policy to be adopted toward it in whole and in de­ tail. Thus far there has been no de­ sire to fix a policy, as it was likely to be construed as improper influence on the Is Senate. But with the Senate's work ^complete, the House members will go "'over the bill in detail to see how far they will recommend an agreement with the Senate and to what ex­ tent they will join issue- with the Senata changes. The deter­ minations of the committee will be largely advisory to the House, but they are likely to fix the future pro­ gram of the confe:ence. The commit­ tee will select the House conferrees, to be recommended to Speaker Crisp for his appointment. Kale* for Debate on the Bill. When the bill is once in conference frequent reports will be made to the House on Buch agreement as may be reached. Some of the Ways and Means members say ten days will suffice for agreements. Others are less sanguine, and foresee the necessity of a rule, or series of rules, to prevent another pro­ tracted debate. Representative Outhwait, of the Rules Committee, says there will be no disposition to cut off fair debate. "The House will not consider itself bound hand and foot by the Senate amend­ ments, "he eaid. "On the contrary, they will be fairly and reasonably dis­ cussed. The good sense of the House will undoubtedly dictate when the de­ bate has proceided far enough. If, however, a rule becomes necessary, one can undoubtedly te brought in and passed for closing the debate. As yet, Ihowever, no suggestidn Of a rulS has been made." Representative Burrows, a Republi­ can member of the Rules Committee, says: "A rule can be unioubtedly made effective in dispensing of debate on the tariff. It can prescribe a limited time lor discussion, and then direct that the previous question be considered as or­ dered without any dilatory motions. Of course the House would have to vote on such a rule, but if the gentle­ men on the other side determine on <jcowding the bill through they can probably get through a rule strong enough to accomplish that purpoie."

A startling state of affair has been brought to the notice of the Mayor and health officials of Chicago in rela­ tion to the spread of small-} ox. Spe­ cial agents from Ohio, Michigan, In­ diana, and Illinois were sent t> Chi­ cago not long ago to make secret in­ quiry into the matten^and the report tney made to Mayor Hopkins of the manner in which the health authorities of the city were en­ deavoring to checK the epidemic seems scarcely credible. The re­ port recommended a quarantine against the city and BO stirrel up the author­ ities that a force of 400 vaccinators was at once adde 1 to the health de­ partment, the force of regular physi­ cians was doubled and a detail of police dratted and held in readiness if it should be needed. Then within two days a descent was made Upon the in­ flicted regipn and a house to house canvass was made. Every one who hai not a well-defined scar of recfent production was obliged to be vaccinat­ ed again. There was some strong re­ sistance, particularly in the Polislrulis- triot, where the police had to be called in, but the work was thoroughly and impartially done. In one district, comprising four square miles of territory and inhabit­ ed mostly by poor foreigners, the spe­ cial agents found everything ripe for the spread of the disease. It was fn this section that the scourge showed itself first. The filth and squalor of the locality was indescribable. The men reported that only two physicians were at work, and that but one oase of smallpox in six was reported to the health officers. About one case in ten was placarded to warn people away, and in one out of ten instances was there fumigation and quarantine. Chil­ dren in homes where there was small­ pox were found in a large number of instances playing on the streets with other children. Instances were found of children who had about recovered from small-pox, but who still had scabs on their faoes, mingling freely with well children. Grown people living in infecled homes came and went about as thejr pleased. Vaccination had been attempted to some extent, but tne facilities were entirely unequal to the demand. The inhabitants of the dis­ trict were found to be bitterly opposed to whatever wiprk the Health Depart­ ment attempted, and were evading at every opportunity.

In detail the plan is as follows: Eight week* before the beginning of Lent there will begin a series of daily serv­ ices in everyi Episcopal Church in Washington, ,jn every Presbfteriaa Church there and probably In ev­ ery church of any other denomina­ tion. There are to be held three serv­ ices daily, morning, afternoon and evening. They are not to be what are called revival services; they are to be more in the nature of that extra­ ordinary 6erie* of religious meetings whiohj was held in Trinity Church m New York City durinsr Lent four years ago, when Phillips Brooks preached for an hour to lar^e congre­ gations. To Washington will go some of the ablest and most eloquent preach­ ers in all of the denominations. Such men as Dr. Gresr, Dr. Lyman K. Beecher, and every one of the clergy of Great Britain who has gained re- f>ute in this country. Later the meeti­ngs will be held in Baltimore, Philar delphia, and other large cities. It is believed that the Methodists and Bap­ tists will oordially co-operate. i * - TRAMP WITH KELLfl with Two Qood-Looklugf Qtrla Marehlng the Commonweal Army. Accompanying "Gen."

No other country approaches ours in holiday observance of national events; but even more significant is the fact that we have no less than four holi­ days, each of which is in itself a dis­ tinct lesson in national patriotism and character. Independence Day, the fifth of our national holidays, around which all our holidays cluster, has lost none of its meaning in the lapse of years. If now­ adays there is lees of the excited and demonstrative ob:ervance which marked its celebrat'on twenty-five or fifty years ago, it is not because the American people have outgrown their old feeling of patriotism, but because a more serious and deeper seated oon< viction has replaced it.

To celebrate the Fourth properly you must rise at 4, creep to the window and try to find out whether it looks like rain. Go to bed again and dream dreams of infinite wealth until the small boy of the house tires a cracker at your door and wakes you to the realization that you are In poverty and America. Get up and assume that nonchalance which ^becomes a man who has a holiday forced upon him. Take a bath and breakfast if you can afford them, then count your shekels end hug them tenderly, for ere the setting of {he sun you'll be as poor as a poet.--• Texas ,Slf tings. .a Jeffereon Bled Jnly 4.

There was also passed a House bill to donate certain lands belonging to an abandoned military reservation to the city of Newport, Ky., for a public park. The Senate completed the consideration of the free list Wednesday afternoon, and then taking up the administrative features of the bill, omitted about a dosen sections and promptly passed all the remainder but the last ten sections. The omitted sections provided for new regulations governing the customs appraisers, consular officers and foreign manufacturers and shippers of goods to be imported.
