THE AMERICAN GRANDCHILDREN on AN
ENGLISH MAYOR INHERIT $500, GOA very
worthy family in this city, whom many of
cur readers know, but whose name we are
not permitted to publish, have been made
Happy by intelligence which would thrill
tie blood of any us. The facts are that a
lady now living here is a lineal defendant
of a man who, three generations since, was
Mayor of the city of Norwich, England.
He had been much in public, and had SER
we'd his country in the army. IN various
WAYS his patriotic feeling had been devel-
oped, and his love for his native city, which
had honored him, became so great that he
willed a large sum of money toit. he pro-
vided in his will, however, that the interest
of that sum should paid to his heirs III the
third generation, and at the demise of a
person named in his will. The city TOOK
the property under that will, and his cilll-
dren emigrated to America. Recently the
person named in the will has died III Eng
land. leaving considerable private property,
and the heirs living in this country have
been notified that 1G0, 900 pounds sterling is
waiting for them. They are notified to APP
pear and prove their identity on the gath
Of November. The heirs consist Of the
children OF two persons, one of whom lives in
Iowa and the other in this city. The amount
of property inherited by them does not
vary far from $500, COO in currency. These
facts are authentic, and are substantlated
by the circumstances that an English law
yer. who has been clerk of the court where
part of the property Of the deceased per-
son we have named is deposited, in now IN
Iowa, at the home Of one Of tie heirs. lie
is familiar with the circumstances, and has
come to America to assist the heirs. lie
has offered to do the necessary business and
pay them the money in gold for small
percentage Of tile amount The husband
of the lady in this city will leave to-day for
England. He will be joined in Iowa by
the English lawyer, and they will proceed
TO New York il time to sail from that port

General Moltke .

A French tourist in Germany cives an
account of Won Moltke's daily life in the
country. The chateau and village belono-
ing to the old Marshal are situated in Siles-
ia, where they lie amid fertile lands divers
I1led by pleasant scenery. The dwelling
house is more spacious than elegant. it's
whitewashed wall and green shutters make
1t look like the property of some peasant

minister preparing his Sunday sermon. At

round Of inspection through the stables,
granary, mill and distillery, until he arrives
at the orchard, where he loves to linger,
knife in hand, now pruning some unruly
branch, or anon removing dead twigs. At

glass of wine, with slice of bread and but

She never laffs out loud, and seldom even

Size is the very essence of double extrack-

years behind the fashions, in her dress and

a sentence incorrectly.
She keeps a scrap-book and an album,

For his gallantry at the siege of Platts-

The inscription told the story. The old
man was seyenty-six. He says that twenty
young fellows, only two Of whom were over
eighteen, formed themselves together ond
offered thoir services to the United Skates
General at Plattsburg; they were supplied
with old muskets, and, on the 18th Of Sep
tember 1St4,sin the simple language of the
old man, they did the best they could. ;"
His work was done SO well that on the 18th
Of September, 1916, the musket with the
above inscription, was given him as a tri-
butte of the nations esteem.

An article from the pen of the Rev.

aud the associate editor of Henry Ward

ishment "a slander upon God," and as

minds of men," Beecher, or Brooklyn

strides. If nest-hiding is consistent with
high degree of religious enthusiasm, and

no question has been raised, a very free

The refusal of the house OF Delegates
of the General Convention of the Episco-
pal 6hnfch to confirm the election OF
Prof G. +. Seymour, Bishop-elect OF ILL
uois, shows in that branch st least, an
tagon ism of the church TO Ritualism, and
is in dicaiive of the fact that Ritualism Is
bout reaching its climax, and crisis
is at hand. Either Ritualism, or what is
meant by Ritualism, is anti Episcopalian
or it is not. Ifit is, its adherents and
advocates have no logical alternative but
to reject it, and conform TO what is or
thodox Eplscopalisnism in the eyes oil
the majority. or to form an independent
organ ization. Well will il be for the
church that has pursued the eYen tenor
of its way for such a length of time, il

Quite q romantic affair came to our
knowledge Saturday, the circumstances
of.which are as follows: Some two years
ago col5ny of Ohio people, mostly from
Ashtabula county, settled on the Atchl-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad, at
what is now called Garfield, about one
hundred and forty miles from Wichita

Judge Ballard, of the U. S. Court, IN
Louisville, Ky. on the 18th INST, sentenc-
ed Henry Triplett, of Owen County, to
pay fine Of FIVE hundred dollars and to
be confined at hard labor in the Peniten-
tiary for three years. Triplett is one Of
the notorl, US Ku-Klux-Klan, of his Sec
ton, and the charge against HIM in this
case was the intimidation of witness in
the Federal Court. 1t was proven that
TrIplett and his brother hsd taken the
witness by force from his labor in corn
field and concealed him in the woods until
the case in which be had been suppenaed
had terminated. This is one Of the seYer-

THE VICTORY for the Democratic Party
in the State of Ohio IS substantial one.
That gained in Indiana is not less so.-
The result of the other States indicates
no change of special importance in the
political sentiment of their people. There
is no rnom Tor doubt that mucH Of the
pain made by the Democracy in Ohio is
due To the pronounced position taken by
the Republican party in favor Of Temper
ance lr-i,latinn. The party includes the
great mas ui the voters of the Stale who
are engaged in the Temperance move
ment. Il also includes Il great many
Germans who oppose and despise the
Temperance movement. The Temper
ance plank in the platform retained the
former, who might have bolted if it had
not been put in, and lost US the latter
This was one cause, and very power
full causr, for the change which the cleo
tion shows has taken place.

The State Board of Assess

The State Board of Assess
ment, composed of Hon. Peter
Doyle, Secretary of State, Hon.
Fred kuehn, State Treasurer, and
Hon. A. Scott Sloan, Attorney Gen
eraI, have completed the task of
equalizing the valuation of the pro-
perty of the several counties of the
State, in which they have been en-
gagged for some days. The aggre-
gate assessment of the entire state,
personal and real estate, is set down
at S42l, 2S5, 359, an increase of about
$50, 700, 900 over last years assess
ment. The lowest valuation of
farming lands per acre, is trifle
less than Sand the highest $40
in Milwaukee County. The aggre-
gate of Douglas County, we notice,
is fixed at 1892, 745, Bayfield, at
S646,767 and Ashland Sl,072, 461-
the three counties bordering on
Lake Superior.
