The man who had charge of the
Herald last week announced change
of the political policy of the Oelrichs
Times, which will make it nec-
essary to state the paper has not
changed its policy. The Herald was
hired to print one side of the paper
with general matter, and to our selec-
tion and approval, but instead of so
doing, good selection of matter of a
strong anti-republican nature, and
advising bolting, etc., asinserted with
out our knowledge. And the Herald
scribe, supposing the prints had been
forwarded to the Oelrichs office, came
out later with an editorial in the
Herald announcing the change of pol
icy of the Times, and the different
nature of matter it would contain on
its patent insides. etc. We do not OBJ
iect to printing the different views on
politics taken by various parties, but
rather do object to sharp tricks, especi
ally when there is an attempt to rub
it in.-Oelrichs Times.

Deatl, of Charles E. PLACE.

Charles E. Place died very suddenly
at the soldiers home on Monday even
ing after brief illness. He had been
suffering for some weeks with compli-
cation of diseases and for two weeks
prior to his death was confined to his
bed but his condition was not con-
sidered serious. Heart disease was the
immediate cause of his death. He
leaves wife, two daughters and son
who reside in Sioux Falls, to mourn his
death. Mr.. Place was about 81 years of
age at the time of his death. He had
been a resident of South Dakota for
several years, residing a greater portion
of the time at Yankton and Sioux Falls.
He was engaged for many years in raA-
roading and held high and responsible
positions with leading western roads.
He is said to have been in good circum-
stances at one time but lost his fortune
through unfortunate investments. He
was gentleman of many good qulities,
and during his short residence here
had endeared himself to all with whom
he came in contact. He was especially
admired by the guests of the Gillespie
hotel, where he was employed for
several weeks as day clerk, and by Mr..
and. Mrs. Gillespie, who had become
much attached to him. A brief service
was conducted by Rev. F. P. Baker
at the undertaking rooms of j. w.
Joyce on Tuesday afternoon, the men,
bers of the soldiers home attending in
a body. The remains were shipped to
Milwaukee for burial.

MAJOR M'KINLEY's ANCESTRY.
An Interesting Genealogical Sketch of the
Clan Mckinley.

An Interesting Genealogical slSetcl, of the
Clan Mckinley.
w. E. w. Mackinlay, of Ottawa, ILL.,,
the talented son of Mr.. and Mrs. sThos.
b. Mackinlay, of this city, writes as
follows in the Chicago Tribune of the
9Th inst. concerning the ancestry of the
standard bearer of the republican
party:
Some ten days ago you printed an
article purporting to be the correct
genealogy of Maj. Mckinley, giving a
long accoont of the older monarchs of
Ireland, and showing a coat of arms
which none of the McKinleys ever bore.
Tho ancestor of Gov. Mckinley came
from the north of Ireland to the colo.
MES in the early part of the eighteenth
century, his first tname not being known
and he is supposed to have been de-
scendant of a Scotchman called "Mc-
Kinley, the trooper" who went to Ire
land about 1859. This trooper is sup
posed to have been James McKinlay
Of the clan of that name, which has
flourished inScotlend since the middle
of the sixteenth century, being also
known in English as the eFarquharsons.
The ancestor to which each one traces
was Finla Nor Farquharson of Inver-
cauld, who was killed at Pinkie Sept.
10, 1547. In Gaelic his four sons by his
first wife were called to MacFhinla,
pronounced nearly as MacKinlay in
English, or the sons of Finla. Finla
Nor was descendant of the chiefs of
the MacKintoshes, who are first known
in 1853, and were a cadet branch of
Mac Duff, Earl of Fife, the first Earl
being Constantine MacDuff, who slew
Macbeth at Lumphanan in 1856. Back
of this the records are uncertain, but
there is no doubt about the Highland
ancestry of those of that name.
The arms given were mangled from
those of MacKin1ay of Edinburgh, who

has very different coat. The Mac

the deer with an eagles head for a
crest; and no such motto as given has
been borne by any branch.
The clan in America was organized
September 13, 1893, at Chicago, the
governor being present, and has been
working on the history since. The

"A Splendid Showing.

Treasurer Burke's statement for the
quarter ending June Both is one of the
most satisfactory, to the county, that
has ever been made in that office. II
shows the collections for the quarter
ending March 81 to be 27,727. .O1 and
for the quarter ending June 30 to be
Sl3,S22.91, or total for the six months
OF S4l,54992. During the same period
last year-and better year financially
than this-there was but s24,65O col
lected, or a gain of nearly $1,000
over last year. This is indeed a
most gratifying showing to the tax
payers during such depressing times.
and this collection was made without
any distress whatever. The statement
further shows that delinquent taxes
were collected during the quarter as
follows: 1891, 1852; 1892, 1852; 1893,
s2,179; 1894, s2.s12; 1895, s6,14o; or a to.
tai of s12,O67 of taxes collected, not in
Guiding miscellaneous receipts. The
wisdom of the county commissioners
in abating the penalty and interest
upon taxes is apparent from the re-
suits obtained. The disbursements for
the six months were s36,7O2.2S, leaving
a balance on hand, including warrants.
of s9,411.16. This excellent collection
oftaxes enables the county to pay the
interest promptly, and is altogether
very encouraging and gratifying

"A Trolley Line to Cascade.

The following item from last weeks
Edgemont Express is significant:
The possibilities of Cascade as a
watering place and sanitarium have
been considerably talked up, and from
letters received here the plans are be.

from Edgemont to Cascade, the canal

be made acquainted with the whole
matter. The benefits to be derived
from this line for Edgemont would be
immense.

HOT SPRINGS, SOUTH DAKOTA, FRIDAY 4, 1896
SUDDEN RISE OF FALL RIVER.
A Heavy Storm at the Head of Cold Brook
Damages Roads and Bridges.

A Heavy Storm at the Head of Cold Brook
Damages Roads and Bridges.
A terrific rain storm occurred near
the head of Cold brook Sunday after.
noon. At three o'clock a wall OF
water three or four feet high came
down Fall River and that stream was
raging torrent for several hours
after. Cord wood, stove wood, saw
logs, cross walks and lumber foated
down in large quantities, and few
wagon bridges down the river were
badly damaged or completely washed
away. The dam at the head of the
Warren & Mueller flume was slightly
damaged. The plunge bath escaped
uninjured, though all who we're in
bathing when the flood of waters came
rushing down expected repetition of
the flood of 1894, when the building
was filled with muddy water. Ed
Rogers gave an exhibition of courage
such as is rarely witnessed in these
latter days. He had his beloved burro
anchored to rock in Fall River with
a few feet of rope. When Ed heard of
the flood he rushed frantically across
the foot bridge leading to the pavilion
and in less time than it takes to tell it
he had plunged into the raging torrent
and rescued. the burro from q watery
grave. The water had already risen
to the burro's knees and Ed got his
feet severely moistened.
Charley Stewart, Fred Robinson and
Lloyd Boomer drove down to the Chey-
enne river Sunday afternoon. They
reached the first crossing this side of
Evans quarry on their way back just
after the wall of water came down. It
was then impossible to cross and they
returned to the falls where they left
their team and boarded the evening
train for Hot Springs.
Another heavy rain set in Wednes-
day afternoon and continued all night
without intermission. EARLY Thursday
morning the river was again out of it's
banks in many places-two or three
feet higher than the food of Sunday
afternoon. Two bridges across the
river on Catholicon addition were
carried away, as was the second bridge
above the plunge on Hot brook and one
near the stucco mill on Cold brook.
The B. s. NJ. track near the engine
house was damaged SO that it was
impossible to get the engine out in time
for the morning train, and another
engine was sent up from Edgemont to
make the regular run. The gate at the
head of the fume at the lower power
house was shut down to keep out drift
wood and the dam at the head of the
fume in town was considerably dam
aged. The result was that the city was
without incandescent lights Wednesday
night.
The river has been thoroughly
flushed by the late freshets which will
do much to promote the general health
fulness of the city. The benefits to
growing crops and to the range through
out the southern Hills will more than
compensate for the damage caused by
the high water.

are no resident citizens of Wichita who
are more enthusiastic than those nom
