ny Frederick swihart, OF Newton,
Iowa-He was In
Canton.

In Tuesdays democrat men
ton was made that Frederick Swihart,
a wealthy farmer of Newton, Ia, was
distributing his fortune among rea-
tives at Canal Dover. A Canton man
was also the recipient Of q portion
OF the fortune. He is F. e. Swihart. of

giving each relative that portion Of his
wealth that would 60 to that person In
case of the elder Swihart's death. He
went to his lawyer and named rs rela-
tions. who were to receive the money
The manner Of distribution was that
the head Of each family should receive
q certain amount and II must be divided
between the members Of his family
My father received 5000. There are
four children in the family. SO each ol
us will receive $120. The largest amount
received by any one person was $1,000
the smallest amount was $35. The old
gentleman retained $1,000 in cash and
a farm for the balance Of his life and
gave $4,000 to his relatives. He has
been travelling over the country since
last May, and when he finds relation
he gets a receipt from him or her and
hands them their share of the money
He went through Canton a few days

Buffalo by new railroad organization
II is interesting to look for the parties
who are after these lines. John w.
Gates and the Gould interests are the
first to appear on the surface. Gates
Is the head of the American wire and
steel company and the Goulds' own
track from Texas to Toledo. The
Goulds' practically control the Wabash
but have no line between Pittsburg.
BY getting hold of the Wheeling and
connecting with the Pittsburg, Ro-
chester and Buffalo line by building
from Wheeling to Pittsburg, Gould IN
terests would then have direct rail con-
nection from New York to Texas points.
and be In position to get some Of the
business over which the Southern Pa
cilc has practical monopoly. Look
ing at the Gates end Of the deal It
means that, In the event Of such
transaction being consummated Can
ton and Cleveland end OF the Wheeling
would be changed from q single track
to q double track line in order to handle
the ore and iron business that Gates
would very naturally find 1t profitable
to transport between the lakes and the
wire company's mills over the Wheel
ing. Gates has recently secured con-
troll of line from Kansas City to Port
Arthur on the Gulf of Mexico. He can
very consistently Join hands with
the Goulds In an effort to get an east
ern outlet. His gulf line is not a
Gould competitor in Texas business,
and these two interests would make a
hard combination for the new president

More Quaint Characters Here Than

In this county Of Yorkshire there are
probably more interesting and histori-
cal churches than in any other part Of
the country, and yet we find in an al,
ticle on English Churches, Small and
Quaint that the rarities Of Yorkshire
are entirely overlooked. At Abel, TO,
instance, there is probably the one per-
feet Norman church in England, with
it's slion's head on the door for sanctu-
airy. At Lastingham there is the Won
derful church founded by st. Ceadda,
which has q hole in the aisle down
which one descends to find himself in
another church, acting as the founda-
ton for the editice above. At Kirk
dale stands the ancient church built by
Brand, the priest, which was actually
restored some years before the Con-
queror set foot on British soil. Among
the other numerous rarities in church.
es which Yorkshire boasts may be
mentioned the Saxon frescoes on the
walls of the aisles in the parish church
at Pickering.
In addition to the rarities too numer-
Gus to mention, it may be stated that
Yorkshire has more abbeys than all
the rest of England put together 1t is
interesting, however, to learn from the
article, which excludes Yorkshire
churches, that we have in England

logs and black and white timbered
