Of y. hraska has ended the most re
markable county seat fight in the en-
tire West. fight which has been per
sis,ently wa-ed for more than 20 years
and has cost the taxpayers s.o.ooo.
Accordingly on April |. the date fix
cd BY the eupreme court. remarkahl"

and which last named two towns vii
supply the largest part OF the popnla
ton of the new county seat. are al
ready preparing for this wholesale re
moval.
Many ~ the owners OF huildingN will
follow the example Of the three towns
In Charles Mix county. across the Mis-
souri, In South Dakota, where horses
were hitched TO the buildings and the
entire towns moved bodily from old
Ia new sites.
The new county seat of Knox county
will be called Center. To-day there Is
nothing TO be seen en- the site but the
farmhouse and ouihuildings Of The
Wishcndoff farm. The change from
Niohrara is made because the place Is
on the border Of the county and be
cause the voters desired TO locate the
county seat in the geographical center
OF the county.

The Boone Cottage Burnt.

The fire alarm was sounded by the ice
factory whistle Wednesday about ll:l5 a.
m., when il was discovered that the
Boone cottage, in North Titusville, was
in flames, the fire starting in the roof,
probably caused by defective tiue. The
building has been occupied for some time
by Mr. w. X. Walker and family Mrs.
Walker was at home and first noticed
the smoke outside the bnldIng, canse-
quently the fire probably originated in
the shingle roof. \ strong norther was
blowing and the building was quickly
consumed. Heroic efforts saved the Me-
Cormick cottage on the east, occupied bv
Mr. j. Kline and family. The gable of
this house towards the burning bmldinL,
only few feet away, was kept wet with
water and blankets, which saved the
property, which, had it caught, would
have endangered number of buildings.
The wind blowing from the north was
fortunate, as from almost any other di-
rection il would have been almost cert a.
to have destroyed one or more Othel,
buildings.

Death of ThOs. e. Richards.

Died at Eden, Fla, of heart failure,
Friday, October oath, at 8 p. m, Capt
Thos. Z. Richards, who was born in
Newark, N. j., June 18th, 1880.
Capt. Richards was born of old Puritan
stock and was the eldest son of Samuel
and Lucy Bigelow Richards. He was a
ship builder by trade, which occupation
he followed until the fall of 1879, when
falling health compelled him to seek a
more congenial climate. He came up the
st. Johns river to Lake Washington and
had his sail boat hauled over to the In
dian river and began search for home
in the then wilderness extending south
along the beautiful Indian river After
weeks spent in prospecting for location
he settled 100 miles south of Titusville,
and having found it Paradise to his re-
cent northen home, he called it Eden,
and has always been known as the father
of Eden.
To Captain Richards perseverance and
untiring energy the pineapple industry
OF this state was brought up to tinan-
cial success, to which is due the settle
ments and prosperity of the east coast
from Fort Pierce to the st. Lucie river,
and in his death the county and state
have lost one of their best and most val
liable citizens, and the Congregational
church one of its oldest and most honored
members, also its deacon.
For the past thrSe months he has
borne his sufferings without a murmur
or complaint, and during all this time he
has had to remain sitting in chair wait
ing for the summons from his Master
Yet he has never complained, but said
that he was awaiting his Masters call
and ready to obey His orders. Every
thing was done for him that medical skill
and loving hands could do to make his
last days as pleasant as it was possible,
and the end came peacefully and quiet In
the midst of his family and friends. He
was one of the Masonic lodges valued
members and brothers, the neighbOr'
hoods oldest and best friend and neigh.
Dor. None ever went to Captain Rich
ards for favor that he turned away
empty handed.
The deceased leaves widow, two sons
and one daughter, also one daughter-in
law, all married amt living in the imme-
diate vicinity, who nave the heartfelt
sympathy of the entire community in
this their sad loss of kind husband and
I father.
The funeral services were held at his
late residence at 2o'clOck d. m, the 25th,
Rev. Weatherwax, of Melbourne, who i:
also pastor of the Eden Congregations
church, officiating, after which his body
was taken charge of and buried by the
