FOR THE ANTRIM MILLIONS
Charming Mrs. jenkins of This
City the Heiress
VALUED AT EIGHTY MILLIONS
This Enormous Sum Will All Go to the
Lucky Angelina
The Proofs Of Direct Descent Are Obtainabie
In the East, and the Lady VIII
Leave at Once
VALUED AT EIGHTY MILLIONS

Mrs Charles Jenkins of the Hollen beck
hotel is a prosperous mlllionairess, and
that in no uncertain degree. She is a
direct descendent OF one of the late Lords
Antrim of County Antrim, Ireland
whose estate now amounts to over $50,
900, 900. Mrs. jenkins is q strikingly
pretty woman, and no one would be bet
ter qualified than she to grace the posi-
ton it is likely che will soon occupy.
She leaves for the east next Wednesday
to examine the genealogical proofs OF her
succession to the estate.
Mrs. Jenkins was seen by a Herald
representative at her home last evening.
and gave the following account OF the
good fortune into which she has fallen.
The Antrim family, owning nearly all OF
the county of that name in Ireland, con-
sisted of three brothers, VINO lived at
about the time of William Penn's voyage
to America. The two younger brothers
were warm friends OF the Quaker explorer
and IN 1876 they joined his colony on its
Journey to the new world and ultimately
settled in New Jersey.
But one of them, John Antrim, sur
vived the perils ami hardships to which
the early colonists were exposed and to
him Mrs. Jenkins is related.
Meanwhile the elder Antrim. who held
the estate and the title, pursued the even
tenor of his way in spite of the Land
leaguers or the Molly Maguires. and
finally married. The estate continued in
the family, passing from father to son un-
til about fifteen years ago, when the then
Lord Antrim became involved III a quar-
rel with a tenant who shot AMI Eilled
him. There being no issue left the vast
possessions passed iuto the hands of two
aged Irish relatives, the last of whom
died some four years ago, leaving no d.
rect heirs.
The American claimants were notified,
and there are at present some 125 litig-
ants, each of whom hopes to get in
ahead of the fair Angelina, who is GER
tainly entitled to it by the laws OF the
mother country. The estate Is at present
In the hands of the governmental repre-
sentative of Great Britain, but will be
turned over on the presentation of the
proper proofs.
Mrs. Jenkins grandfather is a descend :
ant OF George Antrim, who in turn is
directly connected with the John Antrim
who was one of the original owners of
the estate. Her genealogical tree is trace
able back as far as George Antrim, and
there have been letters from eastern rela-
tives stating that the complete train of
proof is obtainabls from the records of
the family.
Mrs. Jenkins will go from here TO
Grand Rapids, Mich, where several rela-
tives reside, and from there will go to
Boston. Her many friends in this city
certainly regret the necessity which calls
her away. but the good fortune awaiting
her across the seas Will greatly compen.
safe her for the loss of their society.

THEY WORK HAND IN HAND
Collision Between CONTRACTS tors and Sa-
loon Keepers Charged
Earnings Goes Into the Hands Of
the Whisky Men

For some days past there has been
more or less talk about iaborers being
imp posed upon by their EN- ployers, gener-
ally contractors. in the payment of
wages. In brief, it is claimed that the
contractors 'stand inn with certain sa-
loon men and that the latter get the
greater part of the earnings OF the la bor-
ers. The claim is made that the con-
tractors will not pay the men in cash,
but IN checks payable on the next regu-
lar pay day. For instance, if the pay
day of the contractor is the first OF the
month and man works week follow
ing that time, on beng paid off in Mace
of receiving his cash he gets check pay
| able on the the regular pay day, which
would be three weeks later. As most la
borers working for a dollar per day do
not have bank accounts they are gener-
ally hard up and wan their money as
soon as it is earned. In case this is asked
for the laborsr is referred to some saloon
keeper, who. the employer says, will
cash it for him. The laborer presents
his check, which the saloon keeper
cashes, and if he charges him no COM
mission it is the most natural thing in
the world for the man who has been ac-
commodated to at least buy drink and
treat the barkeeper. This worthy comes
back" II tt o ian has enough money to
warrant playing him, ''and in d few M in
utes the laDorer has acquired that
wealthy, generous feeling that comes
with frequent rotations, and he is ready
to give away his head, if he could get it
off his shoulders. Generally there is
crowd of hangers-on about these saloons
all Al
acquaintance of any ma II who has the
price" and almost before be knows it
most of the cash advanced by the saloon
man fer the check has returned to HIM
over the bar for beer, and the laborer
wanders out of the place broke.
This sort of thing is alleged to be quite
general. and it having been brought to
the attention of the W. c. T. U. and 9TH
er temperance organizations, they have
been trying to find some way of correct
ing -the abuse. No plan of action has
been agreed upon, but the advisa bility of
bringing the matter before the city coun-
Gil has been discussed. 1t has been sug-
gested that perhaps the council has the
power to pass an ordinance requiring
weekly pay days on all city work, just
tue same as they regulate the fhours and
forbid the employment of Chinese. If
this could be done, and the same action
taken by the supervisors, it would IN
doubtedly do much to correct the evil
complained of.
On the other hand, it is claimed that
if the laborers want to drink they will 60
to the saloons anyway, but the temper
ance people claim that if they are not
sent to the places and compelled to put
themselves under obligations TO these men
they would not be SO much danger.
1t is possible that some of the reresent-
atives OF the W. G. 7. U. may appear be-
fore tho city council today.

AS nearly as can be calculated, the
appropriations made by the Fifty
third Congress will fall but a little
short of $1,000, 900, 900, says Brad
streets. According to the figures
by Chairman Sayers of the House
Committee on Appropriation they
are less by over s45, 100000 than
those made by the Fifty-frst Con-
gress, to which the term "Billion
Congress- was first applied, and
they fell short of the appropriations
made by the Fifty-second Congress
by something like s37 100000. The
appropriations for the Fifty-secord
Congress amounted to over billion
81, ,027 200, ,00O- decrease of over
s9,0OO,O0O from it's predecessor S
record. The appropriation for the
Congress just closed amounted to
over s99O,O0O,0OO, which represents
falling off of nearly 100000 as
compared with its immediate prede-
cessor, and decrease of over S45, :
G00,00 as compared with the Fifty
first Congress. 1t will be seen from
q comparison of these figures that
while, speaking generally, the
amount of appropriations is on the
increase, something like a check in
the forward movement, at least in
the manner of proportionate amount,
is registered by the Congress which
had just come to an end.

TOWN BOARD MEETING.

The Town Board met Saturday,
ordered an election and appointed
Judges and clerks. After inukiDg
several allowances the Board ad-
journed until Monday evening, when
it met and passed an ordinance pro-
hibiting hores and mules from run
ming at large on the streets of Ben
ton.
1t is frequent occurrence that
farmers leave their teams standing
in the streets with produce in their
wagons and 50 into the stores to
make purchases. When they return
they find that horses have destroyed
their flour, bran, or whatever they
may have, and they have no way of
recovering the damage. AS a result
many farmers have boycotted the
town and do their trading elsewhere.
Hereafter they can come to Benton
and trade without fear of having
their purchases destroyed by mis-,
chievous horses before leaving town.

DON'T GET SCARED.

With all the noise and sensational
reports that have been afoat for the
past two weeks, there has been but
one case of small pox reported in all
Southeast Missouri-the case of
Charley McCarty, at Kennett, who
died last week. Aside from this one
case there has been no small pox near
er than ST. Louis, where they have
plenty of it.
Country people are too apt to get
excited over such matters. While
the disease is very undesirable one,
we see no need of any great uneasi-
ness. What is to be will be,
whether it ever happens or not.
Keep your premises clean; keep your
system in healthy condition by a
liberal use of Sackman Liver
Tonic, and avoid strangers and
tramps. All the towns in the South
east have quarantined against the
disease except the two metropolitan
towns-Benton and Cape Girardeau

CLUBBING PROPOSITION.

It is q well-known fact that the
NEwsbdr has never annoyed its read
ers with clubbing propositions for
such fake publications as Woman
kind, " Golden Moments ETC., Or
any other publication, but we have
always held that our paper was
worth the price we asked for it
without tacking on something to
induce people to bite.
However we have made an excep-
tion to the rule and gone in
"cahoots" with the Post Dispatch,
and now offer both papers for the
price of one. We do not do this with
any particular intention of increas-
ing our own circulation. The NEws-
BOY will sell without any attach
ments. We do it with the intention
of getting the people of Scott county
in the habit of reading paper that
is with the people and contains true
Western ideas. The Post Dispatch
is now edited by Col. Chas. H. JOKES
the man who so ably defended the
principles of the Democratic party
in Missouri four years ago, and was
''eusted' from the editorial chair OF
the St. Louis Republic by Dave
Francis and his grain pit associates
because he dared to be in sympathy
with the common people. Every
farmer should read both the Pos'
Dispatch and the NEwsBoY and keeI
thoroughly posted upon the methods
BY which he is being Systematically
robbed. Farmers do not reaC
enough. They should keep abreast
of the times. See our clubbing prop
esition in another column.
