TWO TREATIES
Impression at Washington That
the Negotiations in Progress
at Paris
Will BE Embodied in at Least
Two DOcuments-One a
Peace Treaty
Embodying the Protocol and
Points Relating to Cession
of Sovereignty.
All Other Matters to Be NegO-
tiated Separately---A Change
at Paris.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The impress
sion prevails here that the results of the
negotiations at Paris will be embodied
in two or more treaties. instead Of one.
There will be one actual peace treaty
embodying nothing more than the pro-
tocol points relating to the relinquish.
ment of Spanish sovereignty over Cuba
and the Spanish West Indies, Guam
and the Philippines. with the single ex-
ception of the proviso for the release Of
prisoners All the other matters, those
relating to the renewal Of thecommercial
treaties. the acquisition Of cable and
coaling stations. and. in fact all those
extraneous matters which have been
mentioned as likely to be incorporated
in the peace treaty will form the sub
ject of special treaty. This course is
likely to he adopted in order to hasten
the conclusion of peace. for which there
is q great necessity. if for no other rea.
son than to secure the release of prison
ers and the restoration of trade between
Spain and the United States.

Tie Sioux Falls Argus-Leader is
strongly arguing in favor OF legisla-
tive action upon the regulating OF
telegraph, express, and oil companies
doing business in the state. 1t is
timely and proper advice to the re :
publican legislature. The railroad
law will probably remain as tits, but
these other monopolies can be gov
erned by wholesome laws to the bene-
fit OF the people. So far as the tele-
graph is concerned, we now have
quite IA general lcompetition through
out the state by the telephone lines,
but the express and oil companies
contine to do the people with neat
ness and dispatch. Any man who
uses the express as u means oi trans

use it more or less-knOw that these

The Gam Valley chief announces
its tenth anniversary. The paper
has been published continuously in
the little village OF Gam Valley, Buf-
falo county, for ten consecutive
years. The county never had a rail
road, and consisted originally OF but
six congressional townships. The
paper is a good one-especialIy good
considering its limitations. 1t is a
surprise to eastern people to see
newspapers successfully conducted in
such small fields as they are in the
vest. Many towns in eastern states
larger than Miller have no papers at
all, while Miller boast OF three, and
another brother thinks of moving
his plant here to fill a long felt want.
But the Gam Valley Chief illustrates
the demands of the progressive west
ern people, and demonstrates what
enterprise can do. A number of very
small towns in the state have a pa
per, which appears to do well.

years ago, while q sufferer from sciatic
rheumatism, became a frequent user OF
morphine. 1t was not long until he had
acquired a craving for the drug and from
its continued use he eventually became a
physical and mental wreck. His wife and
family induced him to go to Salt Lake City
about two years ago, where he took the
Kelley treatment. but on returning he
soon relapsed into his old habit. Los An
geles physicians were employed to curb
the appetite, II possible. and some mon tbs
ago. Mrs. Sawin states, a cure was effected.
But desire for some sort of stimulant
remained and under the plea of using it
for consested condition of the lungs, the
af1iicted man took to the use of chloroform.
He left his home and in lodging house of
Los Angeles gave up his entire time and
very existence to the inhaling of the poi
son, using. according to the testimony Of
the landlady, as much as eighteen ounces
per day.
Under such dissipation his mind gave
way and he became morose, sullen, vision
airy and irresponsible. The landlady finally
told him he could no longer remain in the
house and he changed quarters. His
father had in the meantime been notified
Of his condition and the matter eliminated
as before told.
Sawin was apparently perfectly sane yes
terday, but the physicians though: that
treatment at Highland would probably
cure him of the appetite from which he is
such a sufferer, so the court ordered him
committed.

LAND Is MARRIED
He outwitted His Mother-in-Law and
"Got There Just the Same"

The Herald several days ago related the
story of young Edward Lands chagrin at
being refused a marriage license by Clerk
Kutz. The mother of the girl in the case
had notified Mr.. Kutz that she objected to
the marriage. although some time ago she
had given her consent.
But Land was not to be beaten so easily.
He set about to show Cupid" Kutz that
Los Angeles county clerks are not the
whole thing" and he has apparently
done 1t. With his chosen lady, Alice Cra-
BILE by name, he took the first train to Santa
Ana and presenting the original written
consent Of the mother. was straightway
given a license to marry.
Mrs. Harwood. the objecting parent, had
followed them here from Arizona to pre-
vent the marriage, but her great mistake
was in not filing a revocation of the con-
sent in every county in the state. Even
then it is probable the affair would have
eliminated in another sea marriage, STU
preme court decisions notwithstanding.

SUIT FOR AN ACCOUNTING
More Litigation in the Badly Mixed
Spencer Estate

Another suit has been begun In the su-
perior court as q result Of the Spencer es-
tate muddle. It IL entitled Isabel Spencer
against A. W. Rhodes, q. r. Nichols,
Emma r. Lamme. H. W. Fish, Anna
Spencer, Public Administrator Frank NJ.
Kelsey and Sheriff John Burr.
This action Is one in which the piaintfY
seeks to have restraining order issued to
prevent the sheriff's issuing a deed to A.
W. Rhodes for certain part Of the estate
in which the courts have decided that she
has two-thirds' interest. Plaintiff also
prays that Anna Spencer be required to ac-
count for money received from the sale
Of properties belonging to the estate and
that no defendant shall have right to re-
deem any part OF the property heretofore
sold.
The Spencer estate has been the subject
Of litigation for a number Of years, and
each year seems no nearer settlement than
before Spencer died intestate on June g.
1895, and his relatives soon after set up
claim that the widow. Anna Spencer had
long before his death unduly and fraud
ulently Influenced him to deed all to her.
Isabel Spencer won such a suit in May,
1897, and the widow was ordered to convex
two-thirds OF the property to the plaintifr.
But an appeal was taken and the case is
still pending. In the meantime the widow
has placed mortgage upon mortgage on
the property, and they have all been al
lowed to go by default with foreclosures
and sales following, until not far from
100000 has changed hands under a clouded
title. The suit filed yesterday contemplates
the Strengthening out of some of these
Deeds and mortgages and seeks a proven
ton of further complication,
