John Nafsiger, DAKOTA CITY, Neb., Jan. 2.—(Special.) ~Another ploneer of Dakota county em- tered into his long, last sleep yesterday morning just as the sun was rising upon the nmew year. Uncle John Naffziger, who since the spring of 1856 had been a contin- uous resident of Dakota precinct, was the one to answer the summons. Mr. Naffziger Wwas a natlve of Germany and was in his 97th year. When 6 years old he migrated to Canada, where he remained until in the rly 'G0s, when he headed a colony of Germans who removed from Canada to Davis county, Iowa. In 1856 he came to DaKota City. For a number of years he followed farming. At a special election in this county on January 18, 1862, he w elected county judge. On October 13, 1868, he was elected state representative, sery- ing in the fitth, sixth and seventh s sions. On October 13, 1863, he was elected tounty‘ commissioner and was re-elected October'9, 1866. From 1889 to 1893 he was justice of the peace for Dakota precinct. He was a staunch democrat, was twice martied and on his death left seven chil- dren, as follows: Mrs. Leah Daglish of Bedalla, Mo., Rev. Willlam F. Nafrziger of Bmitheville, 0., J. F.

SAYS UNITED STATES SHOULD WITHDRAW Conditfons Whieh ' Now Exist In Islands Dischsséd at Length by President of Cornell University. To enable the Filipinos to establish a stable government and then to withdraw from the islands, leaving the natives to manage their own affairs in thelr own way, 18 the duty of the United Stated in fts dealings with the Philippine problem, ac- cording to Jacob Gould Schutman, preaident of Cornell university. Mr. Schurman lec. tured on the question to a large audience at the First Congregational church last evening. He discussed the question in all its phases and gave his reasons for the tem- porary retention of the archipelago by the United States, that being to relleve the Filipinos from Spanish oppression. He s opposed to permabent reatention, and aleo thinks that a great mistake has been made in undertaking te~force the Erglish lan- guage on & people whose language is Span- 1sh. t He was introduced by Johm W. Battin, president of the Cornell Alumnf associa- tion, who sald that the graduates of Cor- nell are mow found all over the United States and in all parts of the world, and that the present enrollment, nearly 3,000, represents forty-four. stages and sixteen forelgn countrie > President Schurman, affer a brief review of the events leading up td the cession of the islands to the United States, sald that previous to the signiig of the treaty of Parls he had beon opposed to this country retaining the islands. He he&d urged this as a reason for declining Lis appolntment, made by President McKinley, when chosen as president of the first Philippine com- miseion. In reply to this President Mc- Kinley had sald: ‘“The Adeffcan” people, having gome to warfor the freedom ot Cuba, will not copsénf, after its victorious close, to leave the Philippines, subject to Spanish oppression, ““When'I visited tie Phillppfties, in 1809, we beld Manila' and the fart at Notlo—a féw square miles of territory,” sald Presi- dent Schurman. “Today we hold possesston tront the northern to the southern bounda- ries.” The islands of the Moros and heathen, he sald, remained at peace while there was fighting in the islands of L@zon and the Viscayas, simply because the United States government renewed the treaties in force between Spain and the rulers of the south- ern islands, by which the people were to be governed by their own tribal rulers and after their own laws and customs. If Chrl tian clvilization is to be planted In that country it must be as the grain of mustard seed which in time will grow to large pro- portion: Milllons of Inte gent Natives. “The people In Luzon and the Viscayas number 6,500,000. They are civilized and are Christianized. The Filipino will com- pare favorably with any South American people, and the beést of. the ‘people’ will compare favorably with any man in North America or Burope, and to think of them for a moment as savages and barbarians s an outrage on humanity. Now, these mil- lions of people were governed by Spain in a very despotic way. They enjoyed nothing Iike home rule—had no civil liberty. The insurrections in_Luzon and the Viscayas were due to this fact: The reformers clamored for home Fule, adaiinitiative au- tonomy. These people were governed by Spanish military officers. - Spanish eivil of- ficers and Spanish friars, and, when Spain ceased to exercise authority they were as sheep without leaders. It was a sheer democracy, without native leaders and with no machinery by which to choose leaders. They had no tribal government. Of the recommendations of the first Phil- Ippine commission, President Schurman said they had been practically carried out by congress and the present commission, the bill of rights, with the exception of trial by jury, something unknown in Spanish countries, ‘and the right to bear arms in defense of the country's sovereignty; hav- ing been conferred upon the civilized Fili- pinos. He criticised congress for not ranging more satisfactory trade relatious between the islands and the United States and for not adopting the gold standard for the islands, saying that the failure to pro- vide that standard had cost the government more than $1,000,000 during the last. year and the people of the country much more. The people of the islands may be bound to the United States by self-interest, while they could never be bound by ties of blood or trddition. He painted a picture of desolation on the islands, where the rinder- pest has killed 90 per cent of the cariboo, where famine has followed war, pestilence has walked upon the heels of famine and the Asiatic cholera is now raging, and sald that It is the duty of the United States to aid the islanders. As regards the educa- tional efforts of the United Btates, he sild a blunder had been made in providing that the English language should be the basis of education, and the blunder will be & crime if the policy be continued, for Span- 1sh is the language of the country and will continue so for generations. About the Friars. Referring to the eccleslastical question, he sald: “Under Spanish rule the church bad been part of the s The priest and bishops drew stipends from the government, but now the Catholle church stands upon the same basis as the other churches, and must be supported by voluntary subscrip- tions. So far as the church goes, tbe Philippines are as Catholle Mexico and Central Americ ‘The trouble Is not with the church, but with some of the orders which own the land. As landowners they come under the control of the government. A few months ago It was sald fn large head- lines that the friars must go, but the friars have some righi The friars are the un- fertunate victims -of the old system. Tho militqry officers and the eivil officers could returfidto Spain; the friars had to remaln, and when the Filipino became restive and struck at a Spanish head the head of a friar was the most convenlent. My solu- tion to this question was to have the lands | valued by arbitration and purchased by the Philippine government, leaving the matter of the deportation of the friars to time and changed conditions. The second commls sion has unfortunately coupled the purchase of the lands with the withdrawal of the friars. 1 am not & Roman Cathelie, but 1 can see why it is absolutely impossible for the Vatican to agree to this rul¢. The friars have been charged with oppression and various crimes by a part ot the Fili- pinos. To consent to their withdrawal as proposed would be a confession of gullt on the part of the Vatican. THE OMAHA _DAILY ‘BEE! SATURDAY JANUARY 3 1903. went to the islands and convinced myselt that Aguinaldo did mot represent the Fili- pino people. 1 was opposed to giving the islands to Aguinaldo or to any other insur- rectionary chief. I felt that we had a duty to ourselves, to the other nations and to the Filipinos not to turn the islands over to any other power than the Philippine people themselves.” To Deal with the Question, But three possible methods exist for set- ing the Philippine problem, according to Mr. Bchurman's view. One is forcible con- trol of the islands; the other annexation, making the islands a territory and after- ward states of the union, and the third to assist the Filipince to set up a government of their own and to then 'withdraw the forces of the United States from the | islands, after bringing to those islands | ‘what the government has brought to Cuba. He favors the third. He sald that out of 2,000 wage-earners he addressed in New York last week all but three approved this plan, and out of 1,800 educators he ad- dressed Thursday night at Lincoln, all but eight signified their approval. No test was made last night. After the address a number of the prom- fnent auditors and Cornell men met the president at the church. SITUATION IN THE PHILIPPINES Pope Receives Long Report on Con- ditlon of Chureh There from Mgr. Guidl. ROME, Jan. 2.—The vatican is in receipt of the first long report of the situation in the Philippines from Mgr. Guidi, apostolie delegate in the Philippines. The delegate expresses the hope that as he and the governor are animated with the desire to maintain pacification and prosperity of the islands they will succeed in reaching an understanding satisfactory to Rome, Wash- ington and the Filipino people. Mgr. Guidi gives a summary of the evi- dence he has collected with regard to the selling of the friar lands, the settlement ot rents, damages due to the church, the conveyance of titles and the adminlstration of charitable and educational trusts. He thinks the question of the withdrawal of the friar will be solved through the re- organization d the church. The apostolic delegate says the schism in the Roman Catholic church in the Philip- pines ‘Will be put down, although the sep- aratist mévement is believed to be encou- raged by the people’s dislike for the friars and their ‘desire to have a Filipino church not connected with the ancient regime. EQUAL TAX ON RAILROADS (Continued from First Page.) in taxing farms and alk other property and he belleved the law to be unconstitutional which attempted to discriminate in favor of rallroad property. John L. McCague suggested that the same constitution which makes provision for uni- form taxation of property also provides for legislation for cities of the first and second and other classes, and,sald that the resolu- tion was Intended as an appeal to the law- making body for the repeal of an objec- tionable feature of the charter of citles of the first class, “which charter ‘had' been enacted by that body. At the close of this discussion the resolu- tion was adopted without a dissenting vote. Health Department Short. The appropriation for the maintenance of the health department was the subject. of much discussion, but no definite action. Dr. Ralph, health 'commissioner, when called upon by Councilman Hascall to state the peeds of his department, said there,was urgent need of additional funds, but he could not even. state an approximate amount. . Mr. Hascall sald in this éonnection that the council had been obliged to rob the general and other funds and resort to all sorts of other expedients to supply the health department with the money it really needed for the support of the emergency hospital and for other branches of the work, and Councilman Lobeck sald that in- stead of $10,000 there should be at least $20,000 or $25,000 appropriated for the health department. Comptroller Westberg suggested that the true solution of this difficulty and the away with the system of speclal funds for speclal departments. The charter, he said, authorized the appropriation of $1,140,000 in all for the purpose of maintaining the city government and in his opinion that should be in one fund and the apportion- ment of it should devolye upon the mayor and council. Then there would be no neces- sity to rob one fund for another. This plan Andrew Rosewater opposed on the ground that some of the departments would necessarily sufter and the money would go to the departments which were in favor with the council. Nelson Asks for Action. At this juncture Representative Nelson callad the attention of the meeting to the tact that nothing definite was belng ac- complished by all this discussion. The membors of the delegation, he said, had come to Omaha from Lincoln at great in- convenfence to hear what the cltizens of Omaha wanted in the way of charter re- vision and the citizens of Omaha had not yet made up their minds as to what they wanted. South Omaba, he sald, had gone to work in a systematic manner upon Its charter revision and appointed a commit- tee some time ago. The result was that there was now a new charter all ready to file. He said he belleved that this legisla- ture presented the best opportunity Omaha had ever had to get & good city charter, and he hoped something would be mccomplished toward that end, but it must be done with- out any further delay. A motion by Mr. McCague that the mayor be requested to appoint a committee of twenty-five to take charge of the work of charter revision was, afters numerous at- tempts at amehdment, toade to.read that thé nmayor appoint ten additional members to act with the present commlittee of five from thé Real Estate exchangé; five from the Commerefal club/and five ¢it’zens wt large, thereby increasing the number to twenty-five and permifting the appointment ot representatives of the iabor organiza- tions and city officers. In that form it was adopted. At the suggestidn of Deputy Tax Com missioner Lowis it was agreed that any person should be permitted o appear be- fore the committee to present suggestions. An adjournment was taken fo next Fri- day night, when 1 is expocted the com- mittee will have something to report. A Ruarapteed Cure tor Phes. Itching, blind, bleeding and protruding pllea.

Up to the time of writing nothing very serlous has oceurred, and the missionaries are all safe, sbund and well.

His grand vizler, familiarly known by the name of Abu Hamid, at once as- simed full control of the young sultan's dominions and affairs. He was an un- usually stern- and 'unrelenting character, with Mttle love for anything foreign. Un: der his _adminfstration foreign powers re celved, with but one or two exceptions, no favors of any ‘mportance, and Lreaty rights were generally, 1, at all, obtained only after a show of force. Sultan No, Figurehead, Upon the deathiof Abu Hamid, two and a half years ago, the country Knew Bim so well, and know the sultan so little, that rise up and rebel when his strong hand Telaxed its hold, 1 was, myself, detained a littlo while by this fear, in leaving Me- uinez for Fez and Larache at the time of the last visit of our gereral director to Morocca. But, the, sultan proved to be no figurehead, and assumed the reins of gov- ernment at this juncture just as completely as he had turned them over to the vizier at_his accession. Two important facts now affect the whole story. One, that the sultan had de- veloped the most remarkable liking for everything forelgn, and the other, that during the winter ‘preceding the death ot the grand vizier France, whose possessions in Algeria lie on the eastern border of Mc- rocco, had by force of arms taken posses. slon of ‘w district on the Morocco frontle., knowh as Tuat, and It seemed as if further invasion of Moroccan territory was immi- nent. The Moorish government found it necessary to send stron, warnings to the lelt to prevent the execution of plans for an _attack on the French, as “holy war" had been proclatmed fn the public mar- kets. Had such a thing taken place there wouid probably have been a pretext for further Ingressions on the territory of the sultan for the ostensible purpose of restor- ing order, and possibly a sufficlent pretext for war would have been found. At the same time that efforts were made to check the movenients of the tribesmer. of Tafileit - Prmnl to France and an appeal to the principal Buropeap powers were made. The case, however, seemed complicated, and’ gone ‘of ‘the’ powers seemed inclined to intertere with ithe French in their free hand on the. fronter. Takes Progressive Course. Shortly after this time, the public mind was conslderably. exercised at the arrest by, the nultan ot fhe visler, A] Haj Mokh- taf, who h icdeeded Abu Hamid. What this meantwes ot ummderstood, s such oc- currences were\@ald to be rare in recent years.' But it thd"not remain entirely a mystery, for:id am exceeGingly short time the yizler who was appointed to succeed him was sent ol u speclal mission to kng- 1and, “ostenwibly ‘to congratulate the king on his aceeselon, but probably In fact, as later developments seemed mnake a stronger appeal than ever before to Britain for protectlon against the encroacn- ments’ of the French. It is sald that the embassy sent at this time was dealt with in a very stralghtforward manner by King Edwurd and his‘high officlals, with the re- sult that the vizler carried back to his master the intelligence that Brilain was ready to help him hold his empire togeth: providing the old shell of exclusiveness should be broken .and reforms in govern ment made which would insure an o door to all Buropean nations, and which would make it-uo longer (o the people themeelves “a terror to be rich and a dan- ger to be poor.” In short, the young sul- tan seemed to be in a state of mind to be convinced that Morocco must efther go for- ward with the natlons, or be speedily “eaten up” by them. And it soon became evident that he oreferred the former, for he-had surrounded himself *.th a corps of | foreign _assistants euch . as no previous sultan had ever had—drill masters, nists, sclentifie men, surveyors, physi- etc.—and it looked as if the day of reforim in Morocco had dawned. Foremost among the Improvements in the adminis- tration was the Institution of systematic property taxation, designed to relieve the pecple . from tbe burden of belng Ygqueezed,” or made to pay taxes at the will of the magistrate. Without doubt, though no official announcement has her: ma- | §lded the fact, the sultan has had in mind efinite plans for the Improvement of traf- fic tacilities, and a small mod=l rallroad is in the process of construction in Kez. The free transportation of grain by Sea has been allowed, relieving greatly the high prices in the northern part of the empire. Innovations Unwelcome, But_ while these Innovations were wel- comed by a large class, their meuning was not understood by thé masses, and jeal- ousy on the part of a certain class of n- stead of understanding that 'the sultan had taken the only course left for the preserva- tion of the crumbling empire, tney treated with disdain the idea that foreigners were to be feared or to be listened to, and all sorts of rumors and stories were circulated about the government. It was no pleasant medicine for many proud Mohammedans to awallow, when, on the sultan's arrival at Fez la: a score or more of the best houses and gardens had to be vacated for the foreigners in the employ of the government. Fanaticlem and ignorance of the real situation were the reasons for this strong feeling, but the crisly, if such it be. came unexpectedly. The' sultan had lanned fo have & wagon road constructed rom Fes to Mequinez, and sent out en- gineers -to locate it. In so doing signal poles were nsed after the fashion T veyors, and these were :aken to be the of the nations, and were at once torn down by indigoant Berbers, who supposed that the forelgners had reaily taken the country it was shortly found that the feeling among the Berbers was of no transient character, and soon their dissatisfaction found vent in an upriing of the tribes of Zimmoor and Girwan, west of Mequinez. The public markets within thelr reach were lpoted, .roads became impassable, and it Was strongly rumored that they had ex- Pected, except for the timely arrival of re- [nforcéments for the small body of troops at ulnez, to make an effort to enter that “elty by force, release brother, Moolai'Mohammed, who is & pris- ner there, and -to proclalm him sultan. These pians, If they were really lald, were 1 evidently made for the sultan to remain in Fez for the win- ter . wege thus Interfered with, and he is now said to be gathering an army, announced hie expectation of leay Rabat, with & strong probability of v Mequines on the way.

It was proved that she died of strychnine poisoning and charges were | made that the poison was administered by Tona Dunlap. A coromer's jury, however, | exonerated Miss Dunlap and thus the mat- | ter was allomed to rest until late in the fall, when a grand jury indictment was | retufned against Tona Dunlap. e | The only motive for the crime was that | Tona Dunlap hoped to succeed Allie Dool in the store clerkship, a position paying | only $5 a week. It was proved that Tona | Dunlap had purchased strychnine from a | druggist, but the young woman testified, | and in this was corroborated by her mother, sister and brother, that she had bought the poison and used it as a corn remedy The prosecution proved that the chocolate candles contained poison and that Miss | Dunlap gaye them to Miss Dool was ad- mitted. The testimony developed the fact | that Tona Dunlap and another young woman | ad eaten candy and taken from the same paper bag and that neither suffered injury. | | Miss Dunlap has stoutly maintained her | ! tnnocence and her lawyers have tried to | establish a theory of accidental polsoning. For two days rumors have been current | concerning statements alleged to have been | |imade by a juror prior to his acceptance, | but nothing of an authentic nature can be learned.
