Surprisi' g News to the Friends
of the Late VIM ~ Sims

A special from Lancaster 10
The News and Courier of Monday
gives the following surprising IN
formation concerning Mr.. Bill
Sims, who died ut his home in the
upper section of this county sew
cral months ago:
'Lancastor, Dec. 13. The
personal property of Mr.. VIM. H.
Sims, who died last April, was
sold this week at public auction,
bringing about 81, 200. His en-,
tire estate is worth between SO, 900
and 81, 900 and the general i'm,
preston was that it goes to his
brothers and sisters, but such is
not the case. Mr.. Sims was
thought to be a bachelor, but it
IS n fact, though known to but
few, that he married u woman in
Texas many years age. She is
now dead also, but she has q
daughter living. Miss Connie
Sims, young lady about 20 years
old, who is the sole heir of her
fathers estate. Her whereabouts
are unknown, however, and she
is not aware of the fact that q
small fortune is awaiting her here.
1t is not likely that she ever
knew anything about her father,
as she was but an infant when he
left her and her mother in Texas
some eighteen or nineteen years
ago, returning to Lancaster, his
native home. So far as known
MIR. Sims never told anyone that
he had left wifo and child in
Texas, but the fact was accident
ally found out short time before
his death by his brother, Mr.. j.
B. Sims, who is now using every
effort to find his niece, who is en-
titled to his brothers. property.
The girl was at one time in Paris,
Texas, attending school, but be-
fore her uncle could communicate
with her she left Paris and went
to Indian Territory to visit rela-
tives. Nothing has been heard of
her since. 1t is said that her fath-
er lett Texas on account of hav-
ing killed Il nan. He owned con
siderable property IN Limestone
County, in that State, when he
returned TO South Carolina, but
it is not known what ever became
of it.

War With Germany.

London, Jan. l.-Commenting on the
London Times statement from Washing
ton that persons Of considerable import
ance in official circles there profess to
believe that war between the United
States and Germany is inevitable, the st.
james Gazette, though it does not ce-
lieve that such a disaster will be allowed
to occur over dispute in regard to the
debts of Venezuela to Germany, says that
if it does. there can be no doubt that
English svmpathies will be with Amer
lea. At the same time the St. James
Gazette expresses the hope that the Uni
ted States will not allow such states as
Venezuela to gain the impression that
they can reckon on the protection Of the
Monroe doctrine if they choose to repu.
date their obligations to Europe.

Arbitration for America,

Washington, Jan. 1.-The state de.
partment received dispatches today from
Mexico City making clear for the irst
tins what is to be expected on the suh
ject of arbitration, which has been the
most important and the most difficult
problem before the congress of American
republics. The advices came from MIR.
Buchanan, the American delegate who
was assigned to look after this particular
question.
He states that an agreement on the
lines of The Hague conference appears to
be favored by the majority of the repub-
lies, and that this will probably be the
basis of action to be taken by the con-
Sress. He also states that those repub-
lies which desire to go further than The
Hague agreement very likely will sign
an Independent convention for compul-
sorry arbitration. The congress is rap
idlv drawing to close and another fort
night will probably bring final adjourn
ment so that the determination of the
arbitration question appears to be very
near at hand.

DEATH OF GOVERNOR rogers
CAME SUDDENLY THURSDAY.
He Contracted a Chill and a Fever
Resulted-Sickness Developed Into
PneumO nia-Part of His Family
Present at the Last-Sketch of His
Life.

Governor John r. Rodgers passed
away at Olympia at 8 o'clock on the
evening of Thursday, December 26.
The sudden relapse came as a sur
prise. Wednesday night it was believ-
ed that the danger was nearly passed,
as he spent the best night since the
beginning of his illness six days ago.
About O'Clock Thursday morning he
passed into conatose state and began
to sink rapidly. Great alarm was at
once felt and word sent to the family
and close friends. His wife and two
daughters were at his bedside at the
last.
The first symptoms of Governor
Rogers illness developed Friday. Fri
day afternoon at his office he con-
tracted chill a fever resulted and
by 10 o'clock Saturday morning the
governor began to complain of pains
in his chest. The fever increased
slightly and the pains became quite
severe. Sunday the first reports of his
condition were given out. 1t was an
nounced that he was suffering from
lobar pneumonia. the middle lobe of
the right lung being affected. He was
attended by DR.. Ingham of Olympia.
While he was acknowledged to be
seriously ill, his condition was not
considered dangerous.
The governor was known to be a
man Of regular habits and strong con.
stitution, and although in one of his
advanced years, pneumonia is never
to be lightly considered, it was thought
he would pull through. DR.. Ingham,
however, asked for a consulting ply.
stefan and DR.. P. B. M. Miller of Sc.
attic was called in. DR.. Miller re.
turned to Seattle Monday evening.
At the time he was quite hopeful of
the governors recovery and stated
that IL his condition was unchanged
within the next couple Of days he
would probably recover.
OF the governors three sons none
were at his bedside when he expired.
Edwin, the oldest, is in Europe; Rob.
ert at Stanford, where he is professor
of physics. and Albert is somewhere
in California. Edwin's wife came in
on the evenings boat, 80 minutes
after the governors death.

Largest Building in Chicago.

Chicago, Dec. 3l.-The First National
bank of Chicago has perfected plans for
the erection at Monroe and Dearborn
streets OF an Office building much larger
than any heretofore constructed in Chi
cago, at an expense of $l,O00,00O.
The ground area of the new structure
will be 100. by 800 feet, or more than
twice the area of Chicago's great Masonic
temple. The frontage on Monroe street
will be an entire block to the west,
with the exception of 90 feet on the Clark
street corner. Sixteen stories will be the
height of the structure if satisfactory
building permit can be secured.
Work will be started next May. The
Montauk building, the first of Chicago's
skyscrapers, and valued in the last as
sessment at over half million dollars,
will be one of the buildings torn down
to make room for the new structure.

Sketch of His Life.

John R. Rogers was a native of
Maine, being born at Brunswick, Sep
TEMPER A, 1888. After completing his
common school course he graduated
as a pharmacist in Boston. After
spending a few years in business in
Mississippi he went to Illinois, where
he taught school for several years.
He removed to Kansas in 1876
where he became identified with news.
paper work and soon became active in
politics, becoming one Of the early
members of the populist party. He
was prominently identified with the
farmers alliance during his stay in
Kansas.
In 1890 he removed to this state and
settled at Puyallup. He early became
one Of the leaders of the populist party
in this state and was a delegate to
every state convention held here by
that party. He served one term in the
state legislature as populist. 1t was
while in the legislature that he at.
tracted much attention by drafting and
fighting through both houses the fam
GUS barefoot" school law. Although
the populists were in a minority they
voted solidly for Rogers for United
States Senator throughout the election.
He was the first fusion candidate
put up by the democrats, populists
and silver republicans and was elected
with the full state ticket in 1896.
In 1900 Governor Rogers announced
that the best hope of the populists
lay in the democratic party, with whom
he then became identified. AS DEM
ocrat he was nominated by the fusion
convention last year and made the
famous fight for governorship which
ended by his election by a plurality
of 1900 votes in the face of a plural
ity for the republican national ticket
of $4,000.
Governor Rogers was married in
Illinois in 1861. His wife survives him,
as do five children. One of his sons
is a merchant at Pupallup, another is
in Europe and another is a professor
in Leland Stanford, Jr., university at
Palo Alto, Cal. One of his daughters
is the wife of State Labor Commits
sioner William Blackman and the
other, Miss Helen Rogers, is a school
teacher in Tacoma.
Governor Rogers was the author of
several books. among them being
"The Irrepressible Conflict" Looking
Forward" "The Inalienable Rights of
Man." and Life"
Some months ago the governor pur-
chased a small ranch near Puyallup
and much of his spare time has been
devoted to identifying this place and
making it home, where he could re-
tire at the end of his term.

GOVERNOR M'DR|DE SWORN
HE TOOK THE OATH SATURDAY
VIII Not Outline His Policy Until
After the Funeral of the Late Gov
crnOr and He Becomes Thorough
1y Familiar With the Duties of
His Office.

Olympia. Wash, Dec. Ex-Governor
Henry Mcbride arrived Saturday, i'm
mediately fastened with Private Sec.
rotary Pelleter to the Rogers home to
pay his respects to the family of his
predecessor. The governor FASTENED
to the Capitol building, where it had
been arranged Chief Justice Reavis
was to administer to him the oath of
Office. When the party reached the
court room quite number were gath.
cred in anticipation of Governor Nc
Brides arrival Chief Justice Reavis
administered the oath at II minutes
Of 2 o'clock, after which those pres
ent filed past and shook hands with
the new executive of the state of
Washington.
Governor Mcbride then went to his
office to prepare the proclamation
which directs the closing of all state
offices until after the last sad rites
have been paid to the remains of Gov
ernor Rogers.
When seen later by the newspaper
correspondents Governor Mcbride re-
fused absolutely to outline his policy
IN any way except to say that he would
take no action Of any kind until after
the funeral ceremonies of the late
governor had been concluded and that
hereafter any action would only be
taken after he had become thorough
ly familiar with the duties of the pos
ition which he had so recently been
called to fill.
1t is probable that number of
state officials will within a few days
ask Governor to retain William Black
man as labor commissioner. This was
always recognized as a personal ap-
pointment of Governor Rogers, and it
IS claimed the new governor would
perform a graceful and courteous act
in the retention Of Mr.. Blackman, who
was Governor Rogers son-in-law.
