Webster City, October 12.—Another
appropriation by congress will be
necessary to cover the amount of
claims which the commissioners ap
pointed to settle with the river land

than been exhausted, and the com
missioners, who are just finishing up
their final work, say nearly as much
again could be used. The money now
on hand will be distributed, pro rata,
among the settlers, and an effort will
be made to get another appropriation
when congress meets in December.

A few evenings since Joseph Seiler
murdered John <’. Otto in cold blood
and then committed suicide. The
double tragedy occurred in the little
village of Low Moor, ten miles west of
Clinton, on the Northwestern rail road.
Otto was sitting in the rear of his
residence, milking a cow, when Seiler
crawled up on a low shed near by,
and. leaning over the gable, fired a
bullet into Otto's head. The shot did
not produce instant death, and the
victim staggered to the fence and fell
over it. Seiler followed him up, and
leaning over the prostrate form, shot
Otto again in the head. Seiler then
crawled back upon the roof of the
shed and tired two bullets into his
breast, one of them penetrating the
heart and causing instant death. Otto
was 40 years of age and leaves a wife
and seven children. Seiler was 40 and
had a wife and three children. The
tragedy was caused by domestic
difficulties, Seiler accusing Otto of
having estranged his wife from him.
Bad blood had existed between the
two men for the past two years, and
Seiler had many times threatened to
take Otto’s life. Otto was u well-to-do
store keeper. Seiler was retired.

not later than October 31, and where
ever practicable to be held on that
day, in order that the movement may
derive benefit from such simultaneous
action in adding to its impressiveness.
Says the committee: “May we take
the liberty of suggesting to you that
you call on your mayor and confer with
him as to the desirability of inaug
urating a similar movement? A
number of cities have already done
this, and it would seem desirable to
have all thus take part.”

General Roderiquez, of Cuba, in a

ammunition to assure the triumph of

Ryderiquez, who is chief of staff for
Gen. lloloff, says: “Every day hun
dreds of young men from towns and
villages flock to our ranks, but we
have no arms or ammunition foi them,
and though lull of zeal and patriotism,
they are unable to aid our cause. We
want arms and ammunition badly, and
had we these, we believe the war
would not last very long, and in a very
short time Cuba would achieve her
independence. It is only a question of
time in any case. Get the United
States to permit our friends under its
flag to ship us arms and ammunition,
and, before you realize it, there
will be another free republic in
America.”

household effects were loaded into
wagons by the Indian police and he
and his wife and family started off the
reservation. Before the procession had
gone far it was met by J. F. Meyers,
manager for the Flourney Company,
and United States Deputy Marshal
Garret. These latter immediately in
terfered with the eviction. Mr. Meyer*
told the Indian police that they must
not proceed to evict or in any way in
terfere with the settlers who claim to
hold under leases from the Flourne;
Company. He said that it was not th
intention of the court that evietic
should be made by the Indian poli

NORTH ATLANTIC SQUADRON.
Important Plan* Announced for the Winter.
Washington, October 13.—The win
ter plans of the North Atlantic Squad
ron are important and ver - -ignifieant
in view of the situatio'i >u Cuba and
the attitude this connlrv has assumed
toward British encroachment in Vene
zuela The North Atlantic Squadron
is to be greatly strengthened. Trans
fers will be made so as to assemble in
that squadron about all the best ves
vessels in the navy, and instead of
ceasing squadron drill for the winter
it will continue in southern waters.
An impressive demonstration of force
will thus be made, but will be under
the guise of practice drills. The ex
cuse for udding vessels to the squadron
and going into these waters will be
that it is desirable that every one of
the new vessels have practice in squad
ron drill and it is necessary to continue
the practice during the winter. These
evolutions without question are to lie
carried on for the purpose of having a
powerful fleet in the vicinity of trouble
if it occurs, and should occasion
as it is feared it may, for something
more than display in the Venezuelan
and Cuban matters. The powerful
fleet will be within an hour's common t
cation of Washington and at the same
time within twenty-four hour's sailing
distance of the probable seat of trouble.
