PRINCE GIVES Up THRONE
Heir to sa1ony Grown Decides to RsnOunOs
the Succession.
HAS A PECULIAR SENSE OF HONOR
Must Fight n Duel with Man who
EIoped with the Princess or
Retire from Head Of
the Army.

BERLIN. Jan. 3I.-A curious story widely
told in the provincial and Berlin papers
this morning is that the crown prince Of
Saxony is determined to r%enounce his sue
cession to the throne in favor OF his son,
George, who is ten years Of age.
The reason given is that the military
code Of honor does not permit a husband,
wronged ms he has been, 20 remain in the
service. and the crown prince, as com
mander OF the First army corps OF Saxony
as the the future commander OF the entire
Saxon contingent, must pass upon the find
ings OF military courts of honor, which, In
circumstances similar TO those OF the crown
prince, require a challenge or the laying
aside OF the uniform.
The crown prince, IL is added, is scarcely
expected to challenge Prof. Giron, the
teacher OF languages who eloped with the
crown princess. but opinion in the army
is so rigid on points Of honor that the
crown prince is regarded as ineligible to
review decisions Of courts of honor, pro-
tecting the honor Of the uniform.
The Rheinische Courier Of Wiesbaden
says without reservation that the crown
prince has renowned his right to success
sion to the throne and .he Berlin Morgen-
posts Dresden correspondent says he has
already appealed to the emperor to relieve
him of all military positions.

sHERIFFS SEEK LEGISLATION
Want JaiIOrs TO watch Prisoners and
Compensation for Attending
Justices' Courts.

STURGIS, S. D., Jan. S1.-(Special.)-
There are two, bills to be presented TO the
state legislature for consideration at the
present session, by the sherifs Of the
state. One is for the employment Of a
jailer when there are any prisoners in
confinement. The sherifs argue that they
cannot, as far as experience goes, keep
guard over a prisoner or half a dozen pris-
oners in the jail, and be serving summons
or other papers in a different part of the
county at the same time. They therefore
think it an imposition to compel them to
pay ~jailers' salaries.
The second is to provide for some sort
of compensation for attendance on justice
court with a prisoner for preliminary
hearing or other cause. At present a
sherif or his deputy may be in attend
ance on justice court with a prisoner a
whole day, or maybe two days, receiving
no fees whatever.

article appeared in the York Republican,
a newspaper that always stands for the

reproduces the arguments which are being
used by the railroad organs OF the state.
According to the statements made by the
anonymous correspondent, York county
would collect less taxes and omaha would
secure more than its share by the adoption
OF the plan of the Omaha Real Estate ex-
change, whereas the facts are that the
Omaha plan would increase the assess
