CLAIM HE WAS WEALTHY.
Friends of the Late Matthias Brick Say he
Left Large Estate in Germany.

Lett a Large ESLdL6 III
The friends of Matthias Brick, who
died very suddenly in the town OF
Pleasant Prairie, Monday, claim that
while the old man had been considered
very poor for many years, his be1rs
will be left large estate as the result
of his death. According TO the state
ment of one of the men we'll acquaint-
ed with the old man, it scenes that he
left Germany many years ago in order
to avoid military service. After he
came to this country his property
which was left behind was declared
forfeited to the crown. However,
many years later his father and an
aunt of the deceased died and both OF
them left their estates to the old man.
He was aware of the fact that the
property had been left to him, and that
it was still held in trust by the German
government, but he never made any
effort to secure any of the benefits of
the estate.
=. Papers found after his death showed
these facts to be true. 1t is sai6 there
are a number of heirs to the estate of
Brick, who are now residing in Chi
.cago, but none of them have been here
to see that the old man is properly in
TERED, and his friends in Peasant
Prairie have taken up subscription
and will have the old man buried in a
lot in the city cemetery.

IT appears that Wisconsin will take
a back seat in foot ball this season.
Of course it is unusual for the Badger
state to occupy the rear benches, but
considering the glory reflected upon
Wisconsin by that 100000 and the
election of a young U. of w. man to
the Governorship, nobody will think
much about the temporary misfortune
of Mr.. King and his aggregation.

A Correction.

There is some criticism on the part
Of State officials of the character of
he work done by the printers and bind
ars on the 125th North Carolina Supreme
Court Report. The binding, it is said, is
90 light and there is too much fiat" in
the book. Those who claim to know
about such things say that the work is
Inferior to that on previous reports"
AS the above is a reflection on us as
State Printers, it is incorrect, as the fol-
owing will show:
In the hurry to bind and deliver the
first 200 copies of volume 125, which are
wrapped in paper for protection before de-
livery, our binders failed to discover one
volume on which the leather was thin
and inferior and this happened to be is
sued to one of the Supreme court judges,
which was returned to the Secretary of
State for a perfect copy.
When we took hold of the printing of
the Reports we made a requisition on the
Secretary of State for an all-rag and soft
finish paper with which to print the Re-
oorts. This paper is softer has no spe
life finish to damage the eye, good stock
being used in its manufacture, while that
which had been used on said work for
quite a number of years. is made of wood
has hard glazed finish, which is bad on
he eyes, and in a few years will break
10 pieces and be badly damaged
The laws of 1899 gave the Public Print
srs the authority to select the quality of
'apor to be used in the State work, and
nGcr that authority we selected the pa
or rsed in volume 125 and 1876, and on
-hich We are now printing volume l27.
With the exception Of the change in pa
per, the benefits of which we are will
ing to leave to the proper judges-the
legal profession of North Carolina-the
last two Reports are printed and bound
the same as all original Reports printed
by us, some % in number, and OF which
there was never any complaint.
Respectfully,
EDWARDS & BROUGHTON.

North Carolina Not For Dewey.

Only one member of the National
Democratic Executive Committee-Mr
Smalley, of Vermont--favors Dewey S
nomination The member from North
Carolina, in response to a telegram from
the World, wired
Raleigh, N. c., April 4.--Dewey is the
greatest Admiral this generation has
known. He is not trained in public affairs
and might not make a great President,
though he would make a patriotic one.
Bryan is the man who will defeat Nc
Kinley. He is Democracy incarnate.
JOSEPHUS DANIELS.
To the journal he telegraphed:
Raleigh, N. c., April Admiral Dewey
is great sailor and fighter, but he is not
fitted for political life. He makes mis-
take to think of entering an arena I'M
suited to his training.
There is no doubt of Bryans nomina-
ton at Kansas City. He is at least half
a million votes stronger than Dewey and
million votes stronger than any other
man in America

The active working force of this de-
