WILL PROTECT THE WEAK.

The ruling of the courts requiring guardians and pa
rents to give bond before leasing aotmens the property
Of minor children is a wise and will prove benef-
cent protection the children Of Indian citizens 1t is
suitable precauton to prevent the squanderng Of
tates by shiess parents and INSCRIPTIONS guardians
Many struggling to get appointed guardians for
numerous Indian families and incompetents who will rue
the day they undertook the task Their troubles have
just begun when bond is given and letters of guardian
ship have been issued. Annual settlement will have to
be made in detail and the courts will doubtless insist
upon very strict accounting. With men like Judge
Gill the bench there will be little opportunity to cheat
or deraud an Indian child and the guardian who thinks
he win have easy road to travel will wake up to find
trouble enough. just how every allotment is handled

believe will not do less than protect these people from
the concencess land grabbes and INSCRIPTIONS sharks
that have drfted into this Indian country for the sole
purpose Of preying upon the weak and unfortunate.

The report shows a higher enroll

of last year.
There are, however, numerous chill
dren on the streets who have not en-.
tered school and who will probably
remain out unless the compulsory
law is applied.
Other towns and cities of Iowa
have, fond it expedient to enforce this
law and we know of no good reason
why it should not be enforced here.
The facts as shown by a late' 4e-
port of the state superintendent, that
Oskaloosa schools rank first in at

hitting some children to grow up In

FOOT BALL.
Honors Were Even.

Fairfield, Oct S.-The Quakers and
Parsons College fought out a fierce
battle on the gridiron yesterday af.
ternoon with honors evenly divided
and neither side scoring a touch
down. 1t was the hardest fought bat,
tie that has ever been played on the
local ground. AS the time of the
halves drew to a close and neither
side had scored the teams doubled
their efforts to make the desired
point but such effort was always met
and defeated by the oposing line. In
many ways it was the prettiest exhi.
bitten of the game ever seen here
Hinshaw, Ramsay Pemberton and
Sopher of the visiting team distia
guished themselves by brilliant play
while Greenleaf brothers and Matt
Picken of the home lads did some
fine work.
Our high School Lost.
Grinnell, Oct. 8.-Grinnell High
School took terrible revenge upon Os
kaloosa High School foot ball team on
the local gridiron yesterday after
noon in game that was all our way
Grinnell won the game easily, forty
five to nothing. Thevisiting team
was completely demoralized and
could do nothing against the cyclone
playing of the home team, who went
through, around, over and under the
visiting team. Grinnell had the bal!
almost all of the time excepting al
kick-offs. Grinnell, remembering
their defeat at the hands or the Oska
loosa team last season, went into the
visiting bunch for revenge and show

PRINCESS WILL SUE:
RHODES ESTATE

LONDON, Dec. 29.-The Daily
Chronicle states that Princess Radzi-
Will has decided to bring action against
the executors of the estate of Cecil
RhOdes, with the object Of indicating
her character from accusations in con-
nection with her personal relations
with Mr.. Rhodes.
Princess Catherine Radziwill was
sentenced to two years imprisonment
by the supreme court Of Cape Colony,
April 80. 1902. for forgery in connec-
ton with notes purporting to have been
endorsed by Mr.. Rhodes. 1t was alleg-
ed by the London papers that Mr..
Rhodes death was due to the worry
which she caused him and to the fact
that he was obliged to return to South
Africa in the hottest weather to prose
cute the case against her.

man has fair chance in proportion to
his ability. There will be more men
appointed this year to these positions
than for several years past. A man

very satisfactory, and a heavy enroll
ment is looked for next month.

THE NEW TWIN-SCEEW
STEAMSHIP MINNESOTA"

The Minnesota" which sails from
Seattle on Saturday, January 81, her
initial trip in the trans-Pacific trade
with the Orient, typifies the highest
achievements in American shipbuilding.
She is the heaviest cargo carrying ves-
sci in the world, and her passenger
accommodations are unequalled on the
Pacific and take first rank with the
great Atlantic liners. Broad decks
and large cabins, superior service and
very convenience known to modern
shlpbuilding, ensure the full enjoyment
of a Pacific voyage. 1000 people, in
Guiding ESQ cabin passengers, So inter-
mediate and 1900 troops, or Asiatic
steerage passengers, may be accommo-
dated on this great vessel, which is $50
feet in length; 70 feet inches beam,
and 56 feet in depth from keel to up
per deck amidships, the total depth
from the upper navigating bridge to
the keel being 50 feet 4 inches. All
flrst-class passengers are berthed
amidships, the intermediate are on the
main deck forward, and the steerage
are berthed on the same deck att
Nine. decks serve to meet the REQUIRE
ments OF passengers, crew and cargo.
The ship has 80 water tight compart-
ments and is fitted with bilge kee1s
to insure stea diness from the motion
OF the sea. The public rooms, cabins
and Railways are all mechanically ven-
tilated with filtered hot and cold air.
Ihe appointments Of this vessel
throughout are such as to fully pro-
vide for the comfort, safety and
health Of passengers under all con-
ditions.
The Great Northern Steamship
Company, with it's direct railroad con-
nections In the great northern rail-
ways Of the United States Of America,
has an unrivalled geographical posi-
ton, which fact, taken in connection
with the splendidly equipped and
palatially appointed steamers, should
decide the route Of trans-Pacific trav-
elers. The track followed by the
company's vessels is the shortest to
the Orient. AS will be seen by re-
ference to the track chart, the distance
from Port Sound to Yokohama being
4,260 miles.
