George Gould to Guard Countess Cas-

Paris, Nov. 1.-The civil tribunal
has appointed George j. Gould trus-
tee for the Countess de Castellane, his
sister. According to the pleadings in
the case, her husband, Comte Boni d
C,stellane squandered 23,O00,0yO
francs in four short years, whereas
his income from his wife's fortune is
only 100000 francs. The action in
the case was the result of suit
brought by George j. Gould against
his sister.

garding the appointment of George
j. Gould as trustee for his sister,
Countess Castellane, show the in.

Situation at State Agricultural College
Now Less Serious.
Ames, Nov. 3-The typhoid fever
scare at the Iowa Agricultural coll
lege is, in measure, abati1 6. Since
the report of DR.. Kennedy, of the
state board of health, has confirmed
the conclusions reached by the college
authorities there seems to be now
no reasonable cause for fear. About
five new cases have developed in the
last ten days, all of whom were taken
to the hospital. Besides these, many
have gone home threatened with or
in the first stages of the disease. It
is calculated that from 100 to $50
students have gone home or are sick,
and the concensus of opinion among
those remaining seems to be that, in
justice to ali, the school should be
closed and assemble early in the new
year. Many anxious parents are send
ing for their sons and daughters, but
there seems to be a general and COM
mendable desire to stay and face 1T
out.
The sickness has had a most de-
pressing effect on school work and
school life. Classes are small and in
terest slack and the fever is the one
great topic of thought and conversa-
ton. A gloom enshrouds the whole
school. Despite all these discouraging
features, the authorities dcem it wise

MOlnes Under Arrest.


Des Moines, Nov. &c Complaint was
made at the police station that Geo.
Hutchins, son of DR.. E. r. Hutchins,
obtained money under false pre-
tense by the use Of forged checks.
The alleged victims are Smith s.
Smith, proprletors of saloon at
West Third and Locust streets. The
checks were executed and cashed in
September. Both were drawn on
the Des Moines National bank and
signed 7. M. Fee. One was made
payable to Hutchins in the sum of
$1025 and the other, executed q few
days later, was for $15.2s. Both
were endorsed by Hutchins in lead
pencil, the signature appearing to
be in the same handwriting as that
on the face of the checks.
1t is understood the victims of the
forgery have attempted to effect a
satisfactory adjustment cut of court,
but finally despaired of succeeding
and came to the police as a last re-
sort
Frequent complaints have been
made to the police that bad 'spaper"

Decided for Settlers.

Primghar, Nov. 1.-The secretary
of the interior has recently made
final decision involving thirteen quar-
ters of the disputed O'Brien county
lands in favor of the homestead
claimants, who have resided on the
land from fourteen to sixteen years.
The lands are more familiarly known
throughout tie state as forfeited
Sioux City & St. Paul Railroad COM
pany lands, which reverted back to
the United States by decision rem
dered in the United States supreme
court on October 81, 1895. These
lands were sold by the railroad com
pany to different parties, who fought
the settlers on the land from the
local land Office at Des Moines to the
secretary. Tne lands are now quite
valuable and could be sold at the
present market value, the 1850 acres
just won out by the settlers for $50
an acre, making the sum of at least
S1OO 900.

Chinese Question is the Paramount Il
In Berlin

Chinese Question is the Paramount Is
sue In Berlin.
Berlin, NOV. 5.-The Chi1 ase cues-
ton continues to overshadow every
thing else here. The Tageblatt prints
q special dispatch from Picking, dated
October 30, saying:
"A detachment of the Second Ger
man infantry regiment, under Major
Won Forster, fought victorious en-
gagement against vastly superior
Chinese force of regulars in a noun
tain pass near the Chinese wall not
far from Tsi-Ting- -Kuan. Five guns
were taken by assault, and the Ger
man flag has hois!ed over the ram
parts. Major Won Forster was
wounded or killed, and the Chinese
lost fifty dead"
The opinion is generally held that
the military operations are by no
means over, but that the Chinese
troops have, thus far, lacked organ
ization, and it is surmised that Prince
Tuan, whom the Chinese report as
having fled, is quietly reorganizingy
the Chinese forces for winter cam
paign. This opinion is held here even
in the highest military circles.

fire was well started and the build
ings were blazing mass. The plant
consisted of the slaughter house, ice
house and cooler, and two barns. The
buildings were two-story frame struc-
t,,res, erected in 1886. Mengel Bros.
paid $4,000 for the plant in 1890, in
cluding five acres of land upon which
it is situated. 1t has not been i'll ope-
ration for year and a half. The fire
is supposed to have ignited from the
sparks of passing locomotive, which
was switching near by when the fire
started. The buildings were valued
at $4,000 and were insured for $2,50O.

BOERS VERY ACTIVE.
South African War Seems to be
Far From Ended.

London. Nov. 6.-The striking re-
vival of the Boer war is well timed
to synchronize with President kru-
gers arrival in Europe. The position
in South Africa of the British forces
is decidedly worse tnan when they
first occupied Pretoria in June. The
fact that the Beers no longer have an
important fixed position to be attack
ed has eft them free to indulge in
the ubiquitous, rowing warfare which
they are prosecuting with such extra
ordinary success.
The British no longer have any def
mite objective for heavy operations
and are as far as ever from acquir-
ing equal nimbleness with the Beers
at scattered fighting. line burghers
are now masters of the country in
the western Transvaal around Vry-
burg.
aAey also hold all the keys to the
southern Free State, and have re-
peatedly held the main railway from
Pretoria to Cape Town, above the
Orange river. 4ney have held up four
trains there this week and have
taken supplies. They have also COM
PEELED the small British garrisons at
heddersburg and Ventersburg to sur
render. They TOOK the arms and
supplies, but liberated those who sur
rendered, not wishing to have them
to feed.
This unbroken list of successes has
had natural SEQUEL in increasing
the activity of all the commanders
The net result is that Gems Botha,
De Wet and Delarey are all as strong
as they were four months ago. When
supplies are short they swoop down
on some village which the British hold
and which they know is well filled
and help themselves, leaving checks
on the Transyaal or the Free State
government.
