COMBS TWO FAMILIES.
He Had One in Burlington, the Other
in Wichita.


Des Moines, IA decision rendered
by the Supreme Court brings to light
another story of one man with two
families. Richard G. Combs died in
1889 and left two families, one in Bur-
lington and one in Wichita, Kan. The
Burlington family was the legitimate
one, but Combs had maintained both
for twenty years, and lived most of
the time just prior to his death with
the Kansas woman and three children,
whom he recognized Her name was
Miss A. G. Burn. Combs, who was a
travelling man, had policy of life in
surance for $4,000 in the Iowa Legion
of Honor The money was paid to the
Burlington family and suit was begun
by the guardian of the Kansas chill
dren to recover from the Burlington
family or the Legion of Honor, the
mother of the Kansas children having
died. The court holds that the Bur-
lington family must divide with the
Kansas children, since their father
recognized them as his.
The Omaha Bee says: tt'The Paul
Jones flag that was saved from the

ment with the Scraps has just been

is claimed that this was the first
American flag ever hoisted over a
man-of-war and the first ever saluted
by foreign power, but it may be re-
marked in passing that not less than
nine other flags now in existence
claim a similar honor
An Exiled Son-Charles Schultz,
San Francisco bar tender, was found
dead yesterday in lodging house,
having died alone in the night after
several days illness. He was the son
of millionaire of Evansville, Ind,
who drove his boy from home ten
years ago. He now regrets the act
and has ordered that no expense be
spared in properly embalming the
body and sending it to the old home.
Caught in the Act-John Hallin and
Arthy Daught were arrested at San
Francisco for systematic stealing Of
copper and brass from the. Mare Is

while in the act More than ton Of
metal has been found which was sold
as wreckage from the Columbia.

If they had TO be thrashed, and it
seems that thrashing was due them,
the Spaniards can thank their lucky
stars that they fell into the hands of so
magnanimous a foe as the United
States. If this nation had been bent on
conquest it could have stripped Spain
Of its last island and exacted big in
demnity besides. Compare the COM
pensation Germany grabbed from
China for the loss of missionary or
two with the treatment Of Spain by
this nation. The country has as much
cause for pride in its generous conduct
as In its prowess as shown in the late
conflict.

CHAPTER V.
SIiIPWRECK.

Mary Conway forgot in an instant all
the weariness and heartsickness which
had possessed her when she entered the
house. She cast but one glance at the
helpless figure lying on the hearth rug,
then ran to the bell and pulled at it
hard, an eager peal such as brought the
two maidservants running in to see
what was amiSS.

with. the same devotion and success with
which these other. sminent scholars culsi-.
vatsd paieontology. Men who have the
originality. the courage, the leisure and
the means fo- working at a new and diff.
cult iield of science like this are rare, and
DR. Brinten must always hold a high
place among American scholars. He was
born in Westuhester, Pa. May 3, 1887,
and was graduated from Yale and from
the Jeffersem medical college,. On his re-
turn from Europe in 1862 he entered the
army as a surgeon and at the close of the
war waa retired with. thss brsset rank of
Northumberland. He was, professor of
American archaeology and linguissios in
