$4625 to s146.25, and both the official
county newspapers and the Western
Spirit, Barney Sheridan's Democratic
paper, show the amount allowed as pub
lished was $46.25.
Every effort known to designing men
has been put forth to whitewash this
matter, but the tar is there, and Kelly
and his friends will have a long and
weary fight in their fruitless efforts to
remove it, only to be rewarded in the
end with overwhelming defeat If
Cranes books showed up all right, why
did not Kelly make this statement when
asked for reply to the charges the day
of their first publication? He was shown
the charges before they were ever pub
lished, then was the time for him to say
that Cranes books would show $146.25,
but he didn't.
The opinion of many of the people
who heard the whole proceedings before
the board, is that the Crane explanation
is weak from start to finish, and was
wholly an after thought.
If this array of fact and finding is an
t'exoIlerati0n'' either in the eyes of
Kelly, Grimes or any of their friends,

fess that they are easily satisfied, and

KING EDWARDS COUSINS
They Live ON Farm i'm Jackson
County, Kansas.

Holton, Kan, Feb. 22.-It will doubt
less be great surprise to- many people
TO learn that there is a family living in
this county who are cousins to Edward
VII, king of England, but it is true.
The head of the family, G. W. Ernst,
is now dead He was a first cousin of
King Edward, and his children are
therefore second cousins of the royal
family of England. The Tribune is au-
thority for the following:
Long ago, a brother of Prince Albert
queen V1ctoria's husband, left his Ger
man home and came to America. Was
he banished owing to peculiar religious
or political views, or did he come of his
own accord No matter he came and
was true and loyal American citizen,
so loyal that a son born on American
SOIL was chr1Stened George Washington
Ernst. OF course George was first
cousin to the Prince of Wales, now
King Edward VII
q. w. Ernst came with his bride and
settled on a farm near the southern
edge of Jefferson township in this coun-
ty about twenty-four years ago.
He is spoken of by his neighbors as
having been an unassuming man who
said little but who possessed superior
Judgment. A few years ago he died.
His widow and several children still live
on the farm.
Fred w Ernst. the eldest, who now
practically has charge of the affairs at
nome, is a quiet, honest and industrious
young man of twenty-five. He is well
educated, although his chances for be-
coming SO have been limited. A close
student he is largely self-educated He
mas attended the county teachers insti-
tutes and possesses a teachers certifi--
cate, IN fact taught a successful term
last year on the reserve
Like his father, Fred is very modest
and never refers to his close relation
ship with those of royal blood unless
questioned regarding the matter.

Mayor Harrison's Letter.

Chicago, Feb. 22.-Twenty years ago
Mayor Harrison, then a young man of
% years, wrote a letter to William
Dean Howells, a man of letters, and
confided a simple request for the au-
thor's autograph.

velope inclosed at that time for the re-
ply.
Here is what Garter H. Harrison,
jr.," wrote twenty years ago:

Howells. Dear Sir: 1 am collecting the
autographs of American authors and
would be much obliged to you if, at
your leisure you would favor me with
yours; a few lines, if it is not asking too
much. With an apology for intruding
will grant my request, l am respect
fully yours,

Here is the reply the mayor has just
received which was directed as follows:

warded thence to the City hall An old
fashioned three-cent stamp had carried
the missive through the mails.

verse side of the single sheet of paper
was added:
