HQuSE ESTATE
Report of Investigation
Made Since the No.
kOmO Meetinu.

| ] he following report has been made
to the House heirs by an heir who
resides in Kentucky and who was
appointed at the late Kok ONO meet
ing to investigate the House estate
| claim:
To Whom it May Concern:-The
undersigned was appointed by a
meeting of the House heirs at koko-
mo, Ind April -, 1901, to investi-
gate and when anything material
was discovered to report to said
| heirs. We began by communicating
with Mr.. Frank a. Huston of St
| Paul, Mimi whom we expected to
be present at kokomo, but he says
| that he was not notified until two
| days before the meeting took place.
| lie says that he has found no import
ant records, but believes that they
can be found. Much time and labor
has been spent in writing to parties
who We're said to have papers and rec
ords but none have been found that
throw any light on the matter. Have
written TO every court of record in
Maryland and can find no lease re-
corded. Have a letter from the u.
;. consul in London, Engla nd, and
he thinks it doubtful if we can find
any record there. Have received
much advice, many warnings. some
demands, and few seedlings from
heirs, etc. and have this to say in
brief: Pay no money To any one on
any pretenSe whatever in connection
with this case. Put no faith in re
ports about records. Send any real
information you may have to me. Re
member, that too much Importance
has been attached To mere hearsay
and that while there is a chance for
US to get something ont of this claim,
that 1t will be long time before it is
settled and that it must be proven.
not on mere assertion, out on fact. |
In every case where we have been
referred 10 records or papers, we
have found nothing, except, perhaps, |
( mily history. and no lease, grant |
or other legal record has been |
brought TO our notice. | speak thus /
plainly that you may not build any |
false hopes, but ut the same time we
will prosecute our investigations and /
let you hear by circular only when
anything new develops. If you can
help by giving facts, write me. Do
not expect personal letters. Keep
cool Ii we have a claim against the
government and can prove it, we
will get it. Don't abuse any body.
We are all doing our best.
Very truly. w. ]. DORIAN.

EiI. LAG


On the eve of Memorial Day it i
altogether fitting that special at
tention should be given To the EN-
blem of our liberties, the American
flag, the stars and stripes, ''ol
glory. = Notwithstanding the fact
that this is the youngest of the grea,
nations of the earth our flag is tb,
oldest national banner 1t was
adopted by the Continental congress
June Ii, 1911, in resolve that tn,
flag of the United States be thirteen
stripes, alternate red and white, that
the union toe thirteen white stars in
a blue field, representing new con
stellation. The five pointed star is
said To have been suggested by Mrs.
John Ross who kept a small uphols-
terry store in Arch street. Phila-
delphia. Ii is also said that she
made ali the American flags used by
the government for sixty years
The design adopted by the Cont
Ieltal )ngress was maintained till
1894 when congress altered the flag
TO consist of fifteen red and white
stripes, with CORES ponding number
of stars, arranged III three rows OF
tve, so as to represent the two
additional states, kentucky and
Vermont, that had been taken into

Spondence between the stars and

twenty three years following 1894.
Tennessee, Ohio, Louisiana. Indiana
and Mississippi were admitted to
political Sisterhood. \ congress
slonal committee recommended the
addition of five more stripes and five
more stars, but this was a process
which evidently could not be carried
much further. 1t was then suggest
cd that, instead of being increased.
the stripes should be reduced to
thirteen, the number of the original
states, bot that the stars should
keep pace with the growing number |
OF American commonwealth. And |
this was adopted y the permanent
design OF the flag
lt is a curious fact that as late as /
March ., 1901, the legislature of
this state adopted the Ameri |

This had either never been
thought of before or was thought

ably taken in order 10 better enable

Admiral Dewey said: 81 have to an

Mr.. Raymer said that so far as he

HOW he WOULD USE GUARDS.
Roosevelt Says They Are Only Necessary to
Protect the President ON Public Oc-
casiOns During Crowds.

Washington, Sept. 26.-President
Roosevelt has expressed his mind on
the subject of a body guard since Mr..
Mckinley was shot, and he Is not at
all aVerse to having his view thor
ough1y understood. He thinks that
guards are necessary about the person
of the president on public occasions,
or when he is attended by large
crowds. He thinks that during rail-
road journeys and other outings,
when there is the slightest possibility
of accident or crime, the utmost pre-
cautions dictated by prudence and
common sense should be observed, as
they always have been, and he thinks
the president himself should be ex-
ceedingly wary about exposing him
self to the risk of accident or in
jury. Mr.. Roosevelt has decided
views about having secret service
agents to watch his every movement
when going about the ordinary So
cial and business duties of the day.
He will not have his person so guard
ed, and he puts his foot down at the
start.
