indian Chief Raises Law Point.

Chief Peo Of the Umatilla Indians
proposes to raise an interesting point
OF law. involving the question whether
the government agent car take
charge of the affairs Of an allotted
Indian without having been given
special authority by the courts. At
the bottom of the whole affair is the
chiefs love for strong liquor. Chief
Peo is the owner of 800 acres of land
OF. the Gmatilla reservation, over
which he exercised full control unit:
about year ago. For the last year
Agent Charles Wilkins has been col.
lecting the rent from Chief Peo.s
tenant.

Labor is very scarce and recent bad

An impossible Suggestion.

President R oosevelt's strong reaffir-
nation of the Monroe Doctrine should
possibly be read in the light of dis
cassion that is now going Or in the
German press AT any rate, that dis
c1ssion gives to the Presidents words
very special and very timely significan-
ce. The Europeans, whose constant tts-
sing aad tuning over American supre-
macy is in itself exceedingly suspicious,
imagine that they have hit upon a
cans of securing foothold III South
America, without doing SO in such
manner as to warrant the interference
of the United States, a I'd perhaps IN
such a way as TO awe our country into
inactivity.
It is we'll known that not only Ger
many but also sFrance and to some ex-
tent Great Britain have financial claims
upon the government of Venezuela. In,
the present distracted condition OF that
much harassed re public it IS obvious
that foreign claims can not now be met
by the national exchequer, while Pres
ident Castro is exhauSting every pos
sible resource to put down a dangerous
F6DSlllOu. OuCu OCi1lE5 tuN Ne''N' N
genious powers have evolved a plan
which they think would at once paw Oft
their claims and every neatly evade the
principle of the Monroe Doctrine as
they choose to understand it. This
plan is sketched by the 'Kolnische lei
tung and wa1mly-even clamorously-.
commended by the Deutsche Zeitung
and other widely circulated sheets, 1t
is suggested that Germany, France
and if she will, Great Britain, form a
sort of combitation to take charge OF
the finances of Venezuela and admins
ter them for the benefit of the foreign
creditors of that country, collecting the
customs duties and other revenues. and
applying them as may seem best to this
international board of control. It is
even hinted very naively that the Uni
ted States might be asked to join this
excellent arrangement.
The bland impudence of such a pro-
posal is equalled only by its absurdity.
If it is really put forth seriously, its
authors must give the American gov

ernment and the American people credit
for most childlike simplicity of cha
racer, verging upon imbecility. Ones
thoughts 90 back to 1860 when France
invi ed Spain and England to join in
sending an allied fleet TO Mexico, in
Selling the port of Vera Cruz and in
adjusting on Mexican soil the claims
of French English and Spanish creditors.
England and Spain agreed; but within
a few months the designs Of France
were so apparent that she was left to
work them out alone, to land an army,
to set up a dummy empire, and at the
last to be ordered out in no gentle terms
by an American President who backed
up his orders by the march of $4,000
veteran troops towards the border of the
Rio Grande. One remembers Egypt
also, whose finances were kindly taken
over by France and England, when the
khedive Isrnail became involved in
deb. The arrangement was more ju-
~dicious but in this case it was England
which soon figured as the predominant
partner. The Dual Control ended alb
ruptly in 1882, and to-day in all but
name, Egypt is an integral part of the
British Empire.
No; our E 1ropean friends can scarcely
thiuk us quite so gullible as that. Nor,
if they be wise, will they treat The Mon
roe Doctrine a as sharp lawyer might
treat loosely worded statute. 1t is
the spirit and not any man S shrewd
clubbing about the letter, which the
United States intends forever to main
tain. The control of a nations finances
is an attribute of sovereignty; and bo.h
the European press and the European
government may as well be assured once
ior all that no over-ocean official will ever
exercise that sovereignty on American
soil. They may also rest assured that
neither France nor England will be so
foolish as to play the cat'spaw in the
furtherance of foreignn colonial ambi-
ton. And finally, it would not be
amiss for them to undertand that their
constant fretting over the Monre Doc
trine, their denunciation of it, their
hairs plitting specializing with regard to
! it, and their evidently painful uneasiness
because of it, afford a very strong and
very obvious justification for the inflex-
ible tenacity with which all Americans
are united to maintain it.

USED sTRYcHNINR.
the Food of a farmers Family
in Mnhnska County.

Ray Eisminger, 13-year-old boy,
confessed to having twice poisoned
the food of the family of q farmer
named Anderson, who live in Harri-
son township, Mahaska county. The
boy is a son of Mrs. Charity Els
minger, of Oskaloosa. The lad,
bright, cheerful little fellow, has
been working for the Andersons.
Twice the family has been poisoned
through their food, neither attempt
resulting fatally. Suspicion finally
directed itself toward the Eisminger
boy and he was subjected to a rigid
cross-examination. The boy was very
loath TO tell his story in the pres
ence of his mother, but by slow de.
grees it was drawn from him and was
substantially as follows:
The Andersons had bottle of
strychnine in the house which they
bought to poison some troublesome
crows. The boy said that after the
family was gone he had on both oc-
casions taken the bottle and put
poison in their food.
When asked if he knew the stuff in
the bottle would kill he said he did.
He answered "no" when asked if he
wanted to kill Mr.. Anderson and his
family, and said that he had moth
ing against any of them, and they
treated him well. He would give no
reason for attempting to poison the
family, and hardly seemed to know
what nc did it for.
The inference is that his mind had
become morbid through reading. Te
has been much interested in the
Tracey trouble and in other Grim
mails who have become notorious
from time to time. He will be taken
to the reform school.

LITTLE CHANGE LIKELY.
The New Military Order Is Not Ex-
pected to Affect State Normal
School at Cedar Falls.

The recent order of the war de-
partment affecting the military de-
partmcnts of the three schools of
this state employing regular army
officers as instructors will affect the
military department of the state nor
NAL at Cedar Falls in some manner,
but just how is not yet determined,
as the matter will rest with the
board of trustees as to what action
to take. Maj. Olmsted, the in
structor, does not know the opinion
of the president of the board. Judg-
ing from the past attitude of Presi-
dent Scerley and the trustees, it is
safe to predict that no great changes
will be made. The school comes I'M
der the frst-class order, and the
course of instruction is not much
more difficult than the one now used.
President Seerley has always been
an ardent believer in the education
of mind, soul and body, and the bene-
fits to students from the military
drill has more than proven that the
two to four hours per week spent
in instruction is well spent. The
trustees have shared the same opin-
ion, and for this reason it is not be-
lieved the change will be detriment
but benefit, as it doubles the time
allotted for instruction. The nor
NAL now has one of the best mill
tary departments of any like school
in the United States.

NO ACTION TAKEN.
Trustees of the Agricultural College
at Ames Cannot Decide Upon
Erection of New Buildings.

The board of trustees of Iowa col
lege held meeting at the college
at Ames. A special committee was
appointed to make careful and com
plete investigation of the origin of
the fire that recently destroyed the
remainder of the main building. The
opinion is general that the fire was
due to incendiarism, the rapidity
with which the fire rushed down the
halls and then burned slowly back
being accounted for only by the
theory that the walls were kero-
sened.
No final decision has been reached
concerning the new building, whether
there will be one or two. The opin-
ion is general among the members
of the board that two buildings would
be preferable.
Prof. e. w. Stanton will be acting
president of the college until a sue
cessor to the late President Beard
shear shall have been chosen. This
much was decided at the meeting of
the board of directors. No further
definite action was taken in the mat
ter of the presidency and the board
has no candidate prominently In
view
