Lee Loeated in St. Loul: Charles Lee, against whom an indict- ment was returned on the charge of a Beno at Lake Manawa on the night of the sham battle last summer, during the re- unfon of the National Soclety, Army of the Philippines, is under arrest in St. Louis. Lee, whose right name is said to be Napoleon O'Brien, was bound over to the grand jury by Justice Bryant, his bail be- ing fixed at $300, which he furnished. When his case was called in the district court he falled to put in an appearance and his bond was ordered forfeited. Since then his bondsmen have been looking for him, and yesterday received word that he was under arrest in St. Louis. An effort will be made to bring hia back. At the time of hjs arrest here it was that Lee was a member of a gang of pic pockets, and the day after he was released on bond the authorities learned that he was wanted in St. Louis and that there a reward of $26 for his capture. It is sald that Lee, alias O'Brien, will have to answer to the charge against him in St. Louls before the authorities here will have an opportunity of bringing him back to Counell Bluffs. id N. ¥ Plumbing Co., telephona 256.

SIOUX CITY, Ia., Dec. 27.—(Special Tele- gram.)—A gigantic movement looking to a continuance of the improvements on the Missouri river is likely to be started by people of the several western states inter- ested. Captain R. M. Chittenden of the corps of engineers, who has charge of the work along the river and at Yellowstone park, is back of the movement and Is urging the calling of a convention or congress to meet at St. Joseph or some other western city to take action that will carry welght with congress. In the face of the dissolution of the Mis- sourl river commission and in the face of the diminishing appropriations made by congress, which indicate an intention to abandon Missour! river improvements alto- gether, Captain Chittenden urges the neces: sity of an appropriation of $1,000,000 a year for a period of ten years. This sum, he thinks, will bring about the necessary per- manent improvements. In an interview given out here Captain Chittenden said he did not think the nav- igation on the river would warrant any further appropriations, but that the sum named would be necessary to keep the river within its banks. ‘“These improve ments,” he said, “are as necessary as the levees along the Mississippi in the south. The Missouri river is constantly eating out the banks and thousands of acres are an- nually washed away. The damage in this way Is almost incalculable.” There Is a strong sentiment in favor of the continued improvements and Captain Chittenden's suggestion of a congress is likely to meet with immediate approval.

DES MOINES, Dec. 27.—(Special.)—The advance guard of the lowa State Teachers' assoclatiom will begin to arrive in Des Molines tomorrow and léaders in educational work will be here in large numbers. | program begins on Tuesday evening with | the meeting of the educational council, but it 1s usual for the committees of this coun- cil to have a meeting on Monday. Gen- erally the reports of the leading iwo com- mittees will be prepared on Monday even- Ing s0 as to be ready for the council on Tucsday. One of the subjects the council will consider this year is an old one, the “Sequence of Studie A year ago the committee considered it for a second time and made a report, but later the committee requested that the subject be withdrawn from consideration and that the committes be given another year on account of its great importance. The committee was in- structed by the councll that in making up Its next report, in addition to those studies already reported on, it carefully consider and report upon all studfes which are prac- ticable for Towa schools, and also to con- sider the relative time which it is profitable to give to each under present conditions In this state. Several matters which were to the front last year will not be bothering the teachers this year. For instance, when the assoclation met last year the contro- versy in regard to the methods of keeping accounts at the state educational ipstitu tions was on and the State Board of Con- trol was being censured for having offered some slight criticism. This has all been changed since. The matter need not come up again. The assoclation last year en- dorsed the compulsory education bill, which has since become a law. A resolution was passed asking a law allowing dlirectors to contract for two years for teachers, and this will be repeated, as the legislature failed to do so. Last year the association “vlewed with alarm” the large number of children allowed to run idle in the streets of the cities of Iowa. The compulsory ed- ucation law has obliterated all this. One session of the assoclation meeting this year, that of Thursday afternoon, will be glven over to memorfal addresses on the late Dr Beardshear, president of the na- tional' associatfon of the State college. An this year will be that President Shelton will glve recognition to the vice presidents and allow each ome of the three to preside a halt day each. He has announced this to the vice presidents, who are Adam Grinnell and Agnes J. Robertson of Chero- kee. Sugar Heet Prospects Good. Charles F. Saylor of this city, special agent of the Department of Agriculture in the investigation of the beet sugar Industry in ithe United States, will soon start for ,the far west on his annual visitation to in- spect the great factorles and to report on | the sugar beet outlook. visited the principal beet sugar regions of the middle states. His report this year | will be most flattering. There are ten or | eleven new factories actually being con- structed now in different parts of the coun- | try, besides projects for others which may materialize. A larger number of factories are being built now than ever before in any one vear and the expansion of the business that will be shown in his report | to the department will be more consider- able than anything ever before reported. The old established fields are all being ex- panded rapidly now and some new fields are being developed. The most considerable | flelds now are in Michigan, Nebraska, | Colorado and California. Mr. Saylor be- lieves that In Wisconsin there are great possibilities for the cultivation of the sugar | beet, and alsc in Colorado and in the so- called arid region of the west where irrl gation projects are being considered. T regard the new irrigation law,” sald Mr. | Baylor, *‘as settling the beet sugar problem {in this country. The irrigation projects possible under that law will open to the cultivation of the sugar beet vast tracts of nd in the states and territories of the west that will make it certain that there will be great factories maintained. | Irrigable lands of the west lend themselves | to the sugar beet crop readily. I belleve | that this law means much more for the west than people now understand and it certaioly means a great deal for ‘the beet sugar interests.’ Water Company Wa * & Rehea: An application has been made to the | lowa supreme court by the Cedar Raplds | Water company for a rehearing in the case in which the company was defeated at the October term by the city in the watter of | rates for service in the city of Cedar Rap- [1ds.

BOY BELONGS IN URUGUAY Contest in Which Legation Becomes Involved ix Between Two Sets of Relatives. WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.—Dr. Herrera, | first secretary of the Uruguayan legation, | called on Secretary Hay today In regard | to the case of young Joseph Preston Ames, | who with his aunt, Mrs. Sparehawk, as | | alleged, was deported ~from the United ! | States with the assistance of the officials | | of the Uruguayan legation here. Dr. Her- | |rera outlined the history of the case | briefly to the secrefary as he knew it. A | cording to his statement the boy was | brought to the Uruguayan legation some | | weeks ago by his maternal cousins, who | asked Dr. Herrera to take charge of him, | | as they did not wish his father's relatives | to get possession cf the boy. Dr. Herrera did not care to assume the guardianship of a young boy. The case as represented to him showed clearly that the boy was a Uruguayan citizen, having been born in that country. Furthermor: the cousins declared that the boy's mother, on her deathbed, had requested that her child be reared in Uruguay, Dr. Herrera, In view of these facts vised the boy's cousins to make an davit to that effect before a notary, | their action might not be challenged. The boy was taken tn New York and from there salled for Uruguay. Several days later a notice of Mrs. Sparehawk appointment as guardian was presented, but the boy not being in his possession he was un#ble to turn him over to his aunt. Dr. Herrera is quite willing to throw all the light possible on the case.
