Surrogate Calvin yesterday gave a de-
cision that is OF Importance a. concerning the
rights Of an executor Its said that the reports
contain no decision on this precise point. James
Eager died In August, 1874. His estate consisted
principally in his share In the liquor Arm of him
self and his brother Joseph. He made his
brothers Jonathan and Joseph and Mr.. John Il.
Roberts executors. They all qualified When
the inventory OF the estate was made, Mr.. Rob
erts failed to attend, although invited. He
afterward averred that the inventory did not
include the whole property, refused to sign, and
wished to have a disinterested bookkeeper ex-
anime the affairs OF the firm to ASCERTAIN the
share Of the testator.
The other executors signed, verified, and nlod
their Inventory, and It was subsequently, In.
creased by the recovery OF a note that had been
supposed to he uncolleetable.
Soon after the inventory was made, Mr. Rob
erts tried To have Jonathan Eiger and his sister,
Mrs. Morgan. who we're legatees, take prooeed-
ines to ascertain tho real amount OF the tesla.

their Interest in the reslduary estate for $l5,OO

Report Of the Centennial Board.

The report of the State Board of
Centennial Managers of Kansas is on
our table, and is q volume replete with
information in regard to the doings of
tho Board during the past year in their
enceavors to aid our coming Centen-
NAL. The present officers are, Prcsi-
dent, George T. Anthony; Vice Presi-
dent, E. w. Dennis; Treasurer. A. j.
North. and Secretary, Alfred Gray.
The citizens of the State have not re-
sponded as heartily to the call of the
Board as was desired, but neverthe-
less they expect to make very credit
able display of our products. In ac-
cordance with an act of the Legisla-
ture a condensed history of the State
for distribution at the Centennial has
been prepared by some of our ablcst
writers, who have generously donated
their articles. Gen. d. w. Wilder has
written upon General History of
Kansas" Prof. John A. Anderson,
"Agriculture and Manufactures" T..
D. Thatcher, Railroad and Transport
tation;" Gen. Fraser. "EducatiOn;"
Prof. Snow, "The Natural HistOry of
Kansas" and Prof b. f. Nudge, see
ologv." The Board have erected a
building on the Centennial grounds at
cost of $4,000. Altogether the re-
port is a valuable one. and shows that
our Board has used every endeavOr to
make the Kansas display equal to any
thing that may be placed on exhibi-
ton, and deserve the thanks of the
people for the work they have accom-
plished -Osage Chronicle.

Master of State Grange Coming.

NJ. L. Hudson, Worthy Master OF the
Kansas State Grange, will visit the Pa
irons of Sedgwick county at Wichita
on Thursday, the 10th day of Februa-
ry. BY resolution of the District
Grange at the meeting Tuesday it was
resolved 10 have the feast at that time
which was postponed on account of the
inclemency of the weather, on the first
instant. A committee of arrangements
consisting of the following named la
dies and gentlemen, was appointed to
make arrangements for the occasion :
Mrs. Mary l.. Falkenstein, Mrs. E.Dew-
ing, Mrs. Cora Jacobs, II. l.. Dewing,
John Falkenstein and j. l.. thinner
man. The committee of arrangements
will meet early on the morning of the
10th 10 make the necessary preparation
for the feast. Ii is hoped that Patrons
will come early and lend every assist
ance in their power to the committee.
Master Hudson is expected to come
down from Newton on the evening of
the 9th. y. NJ. Durand, j. L. thinner
man and John Falkenstcin were APP
pointed a committee of reception.
We confidently anticipate large
crowd at that time. An opportunity
to hear the Master of the State Grange
does not often occur, and we hope that
all who can, will avail themselves of
this opportunity.

Our Next State Treasurer.

The Commonwealth, in commenting
upon the coming man for the above
responsible position earnestly declares
that other than John Francis no man in
the Republican party should be seri-
ously urged. We most cordially ell
dorse the conclusion. John Francis
has, not only in the discharge of the
duties Of the place, but in his conduct
proved himself worthy of the conf
dence of the Republican party and OF
the people, AID we expect to sec the
next Republican State Convention
nominate him by acclamation.-W ich.
tia Eagle.
We don't think that it will pay any
one to put in an appearance, at the
next Republican State Convention, as
a candidate for State Treasurer in op.
position to John Francis. The feel.
ing, very general, if not unanimous,
throughout the State, that q mistake
was made in 1874, in not nominating
Mr.. Francis, and that he was unjustly
treated. will give him such strength
that he is just as sure Of the nomina-
ton as if it had already been made.
Mr.. Francis is capable and honest
man, and does his duty, as public
officer, fearlessly and intelligently.
There are, of course, plenty of men in
the State just as honest and capable as
is Mr.. Francis, but he has been tried,
and the people have thorough conf
dence in him. This fact will give him
the nomination, and it is useless
waste of time and effort for any one
else to seek it if Mr.. Francis wants it.
We say this without any sort of preju-
dice against any one who may be sug-
gested. Every careful observer of the
drift of public sentiment will say the
same thing Champion.
