Plan for Division of Court md Jail
Property Agreed Upon.

Alexandria. Nov. 25.-The commissions
ers recently appointed by Judge Nicol OF
the Circuit Court, to ascertain and Ie-
port the value of the old courthouse and

]. B. Thornton, of Prince William
County, was the third member of the
commission. Corporation Attorney
Boothe appeared in the interest of the
city, and A. W. Armstrong was present
as attorney for the county. The COM
missiorers first determined that the two
pieces of property were not of equal va
lue, and consequently could not be di
vided without a sale. They fixed the
value of the jail property at $1,000. $500
for the lot and s.. 900 for the Jail bui ding.
The value of the courthouse property
was placed at $500; ss,OO0 for the lot and
s.. 500 for the courthouse building. The
city will retain the jail property. and the
courthouse property will be sold. Should
the latter bring more than the fixed va
lue of the jail property. the excess from
such sale will be equally divided between
the city and county. The report of the
commissioners will be presented to Judge
Nicol at the December term OF the Cir
cult Court The November term of the

Hamburg Nov. 25.-Otto Oldenburg the

fenced in Altona to three years impris-

to kill the Kaiser, should be a warning

Emperor William on his return from Pal

The police learned shortly afterward that
there was not a word of truth In Olden-

invented the yarn in order to take in"
sympathetic anarchists, who loaned him
money to carry out his alleged plan of
killing the Kaiser.

MARRIAGE SETTLEMENTS.
The Supreme Court ''Looks With Fa-
vor" Upon Them.

In an opinion handed down the SUI
preme court declared that the courts
look with favor upon marriage settle
ments," and that an ante-marriage
agreement should be carried out ac-
cording to it's intent.
The decision is made in the case of
Vim. Matney against James Logan
Linn and Sally Ann Matney. In 1865
Matney married Mrs. Harriet Linn,
mother of the defendants. They lived
together until 1879, when they were di-
vorced, and the court divided the prop
erty, giving Mrs. Matney the home
stead. After two years they concluded
to live together again, but there was
an agreement that each was not to
acquire any interest in the property
of the other. It was agreed that If
Matney claimed any interest in the
homestead the marriage should be held
fraudulent.
Instead of being married over again
they simply went before the court and
asked that the decree of divorce be
vacated. In 1898 Mrs. Matney decided
part of her property to her children,
and while her husband did not sign the
deed he witnessed it. After his wife 8
death Matney brought suit in the
Shawnee county courts to set aside the
deed as illegal. The case was fought
through the lower courts and finally
reached the supreme court The su-
Dreme court decided that while the nus
bands rights were not rendered void by
the ante-marriage agreement, he had
no pro- ,erty interest in the homestead
and it would go to his wife's heirs after
her death.

INDIANS RACE rs RUN.
Geronimo Says the Great Spirit Has
Forsaken Them.

Omaha, Oct. 10.-''Fhe Minnesota In
dams Will see that they have made
great mistake in going on the war
path" says Geronimo, the famous
Apache chief, who is one of the In
dams now in camp at the Indian con-
gress.
Il have never been in Minnesota, but
I hear that up there and for hundreds
of miles beyond the white men are as
many as the blades of grass. If that is
so, what can a few poor Indians do in
a fight They are making a great mis-
take and are fools. For years I fought
the white men, thinking that with my
few braves I could kill them all, and
that we would again have the land that
our great father gave US and which he
covered with game. 1 thought that the
great spirit would be with US and that
after he had killed the white men, the
buffalo, deer and antelope would come
back After I fought and lost and af-
ter Travelled over the country in which
the white man lives and saw his cities
and the work that he had done, my
heart was ready to burst. 1 knew that
the race of the Indian was run
Asked what he thought would event
ually become of the Indian, Geronimo
hesitated a moment and then, pointing
to the west, replied:
THE sun rises and shines for a time
and then it goes down, sinking out of
sight, and is lost. So it viii be with
the Indians.
when [ was a boy my old father
told me that the Indians were as many
as the leaves on the trees, and that
way off north they had many horses
and furs. never saw them, but know
that if they were there then they have
gone now and the white man has taken
all they had. It will be only a few
years more until the Indians will be
heard of no more, except in the books
that the white man has written. They
are not the people that the Great Faith
er loves, for if they were he would pro-
tect them. They have tried to please
him, but they do not know how.
Schools are good things for Indians,
but it takes many years to change the
nature of the Indian. If an Indian boy
goes to school and learns to be like a
white boy, he comes back to the agency
and there is nothing for him to do but
put on a blanket and be like an Indian
again This is where the convenient is
to blame When it takes our children
away and educates them it should give
them something to do, not turn them
loose to run wild upon the agency IN
til that time comes educating the IN
dian is throwing money away. What
can an educated Indian do out in the
sage brushs and cactus2
''There will be no more big Indian
wars. The Indians fighting days are
over and there is nothing left for him
to do but to be a beggar and live on
charity around the agency"
