the acreage of Illinois Is much larger than

many inhabitants and as much wealth as

more railroad than Iowa. These facts show
that Iowa is assessed at higher percentage
of real value than Illinois. The assessment

and Insurance Companies.

WASHINGTON, Oct 2S.-Only one de-
cision was rendered in the United States
Supreme Court to-day 1t was the case of
Fred A. McMasters, administrator of +. Z.
McMasters, formerly resident of the State

stance the application was made on Dec
u, 1898, and the policy was delivered on
Dec. 70, 1893, when the premium was paid.
Provision was made for grace OF a month
in the matter Of the payment of the second
policy. McMasters died Jan. Is, 1895, six
days after the expiration of the month of
grace If il was to be computed from Dec
12, or eight days before its expiration, COM
putting II from the 18th OF December the
anniversary of the delivery of the premium.
The Supreme Court decided that the grace
began one year after the delivery of the
premium, thus holding the policy to be
good. The opinion of the Circuit Court of
Appeals for the Eighth circuit was re-
versed.

SHOWED LITTLE CONCERN.
Family of the Assassin Seemingly
Was Indifferent tn His Fate.

CLEVELAND. o., Oct 2S-The members
of the family of Leon Czolgocz who are in
this city, show as little concern over the
fate of their son and brother as if he bore
no relation whatever to them. The seeming
Indifference is remarkable.
Paul Czolgocz, the assassin's father. wa s
called to police headquarters tonight on
receipt of information from the prison Of
ficials at Auburn that they wished the
elder Czolgocz to relinquish all claims to
the body of his son. When assured that
no i'll treatment would be given it and that
it would be so disposed of that the body
could not be mutilated the old man gave his
consent.
That the father of the assassin has be-
come entirely Indifferent as To the ia te
of his son. or else does not realize the ter
Iible penalty that he must undergo, is very
evident. An incident that happened while

KING EDWARDS HEALTH
NO CERTAINTY YET THAT HIS MA
JEsTY's THROAT Is DANGEROUS.
Repetition of Rumors. However, Has
Had Depressing Effect on Court
Dressmakers, Who Fear Worst.

LONDON, Oct. 2S.-The pertnacity with
which society discusses the rumors regard
ing the health of King Edward has had a
serious effect upon the court dressmakers.
who expected, ere now. to have been busily
engaged on the coronation robes. They are
keeping large STATS in almost complete
ideness. The members of society have, APP
parently, made up their minds that they
will not go TO any expense until they feel
sure that the coronation will really occur.
There is a very clearly defined impression
in the diplomatic corps that the King is
threatened with some Organic complaint.
Some go so far as to say it is cancer, or
Bright's disease, or both. Probably the
truer solution is that the cancer rumor
springs from the Kings Oft-eXpressed
dread OF cancer, which has made such raw
ages in his own family, and that whatever
ailment may threaten him. it has not
reached any definite or dangerous stage,
else he would be quite unable TO keep UP
his incessant round Of public duties and
private pastimes with the regularity and
zest which he continues 10 display. In spite
of these facts there is undoubtedly very
alarming premonition in court circles. espe-
cially among the women, that the King
Will never live to be crowned, which, how
ever, DdSeleSS OF OlntTWlSe, Is having Il
serious effect on trade. The favorite story
in this connection now current is that a
palmiSt told Queen Alexandra not long ago
that she would never live TO be crowned.
NEW YORK, Oct Accommodating on
the report that King Edward is suffering
from cancer in the throat, the London cor
respondent of the Journal and Advertiser
says: THAT the King has some ailment
which has taken the color from his usually
rudy cheeks and given occasional en-
feeblement to his gait, is undoubted. The
English papers, rule, carefully refrain
from making illusions to his ailment and
rather decline TO speak of his good state OF
health, but the fact cannot be long con-
cealed that something serious is the matter
with him. In the clubs, in high society and
in the business circles of the city the main
topic daily is the Kings condition. The old
rumors, true or untrue, that the King is
suffering from threatened aneurism of the
aorta, have penetrated every circle. IL is
impossible to get at his physicians and in
quirieS addressed TO those surrounding
him are met by dismal head-shaking. The
government will soon be compelled to make
