COUNT OF ASHLAND.
Alexander Lindblad is Left a For
tune by His Sire Across
the Pond.

Ashland, Wis, Noy. 21.-Alexander
Lindblad, native of Norway, fell heir
several months ago to Il neat fortune,
which he has been using with the eX-
travagauce that generally follows Il short
cut to wealth. His father, Norwegian
politician, died recently, leaving an ac-
cumulation of wealth to be divided be-
tween two children, of which Alexander
is one, the other being Il daughter. The
sums bequeathed to the son amounted to
$4,000 down and Il yearly installment
of $1,000 thereafter for the term Of his
natural life.
shortly after cominb into this good
fortune, Alexander began to buy every
thing in sight in the line of apparel.
Local clothing merchants, learning of his
wealth and desire to become prominent,
took him under their protecting wing and
sold him nearly all the miStitS they had
III stock. He began giving wine suppers,
each of which was attended by a large
concourse of fake friends. who were bleed
ing him continually for his ready cash.
IallyhO and excursion parties next occu-
pied his mind. Everything went along
smoothly with his supposed friends until
he became mixed up with the manager
of stock opera company, who had gone
TO the wall here and who was trying to
organize another company. Alexander
became infatuated with dramatic art and
fcveTiShly waited to go Oh the stage. OF
course he found an adviser III the bank
rupt manager, who made known to Alex
ander his intention of organizing Il new
company as soon as his treasury could be
reinforced. Alexander was thereupon
overwilling to advance him the first re-
Qulred sum, $500.
About this time some of his country
men, learning of his insane adventure,
gave him counsel, which. TO their utmost
surprise, he accepted. But the manager
already had $500 and from all appear
anceS would retain it. While Alexander
was in this state of bewiderment he re-
ceived 4 telegram from WaShburn, Il city
just across the bay, announcing that the
bulk of his fortune was there and re-
qUeSting him TO come over with $500 and
get it. Alexander showed the telegram
To the manager and asked for loan of
that amount, feigning a pennless state
until he could get it. The manager, be
ieving everything. gave him $3.50, or
what he had left of the original Alex
ander departed for Washburn and upon
his arrival there sent word to his the
atrical friend that he had Withdrawn
from the company.
Count Lindblad and seems to enjoy hear
ing himself called by that title. The
count leaves this week for Norway, in
company with woman for whom he
has a fascination

PEACE MISSION USELESS.
Eocrs will Not Surrender, aud Eng
land Will Fight to Finish.

London, Nov. 21.-It is said that Thurs
days cabinet meeting considered the in
tlmatiOn that a mission had left Pretoria
for Cape Town TO propose an armistice
preliminary to negotiations for peace.
The report of Salisbury's speech at
Guild hall when he said that England
did not desire TO acquire the gold mines
and ore territory, was said to be the rea-
son for sending the mission. Salisbury
has since diSavowed the meaning placed
on his words. leaving the conclusion that
the two republics will lose their cherished
independence.
The mission is absolutely hopeless. The
Beers will not surrender everything dear
TO them at the moment when they have
had the best of the fighting. On the 9th
er hand, England will not negotiate as
long as single Boer invader is on Brit
lsh soil. The suggestion of an armiStice
In any case Is inOpportune now, from the

Engllshmen have gone into this war with
the determination to make it a fight to
the finish. If the government were to
show indications of repeating the policy
of 1871 their large Parliamentary maJorl-
tr would not save them from being out
voted.
Although Engiishmeu are bitterly sur
prised and disappointed at events in
South Africa. no candid observer can de-
ny that the strength of popular feeling
at this moment favors fighting to the
end and absorbing the TranSvaal and the

grounds that conclusive evidence had
been received which justified his dismis-
SAL The evidence conclusively proved
that the deed was committed under just

facts which prompted Mr.. Smith to ask
for his dismissal was information he had
