PALACES OF EDWARD WI.
some Facts About His Former and
Present Homes In London.

Ff'stht btnts IN kouuoh.
To the many changes lately made at
Buckingham palace one other might
well, n thinks, be added. And that is a
change OF name. True, the site was
ono occupied by the house a duke OF
Buckingham built thereon In 1908, but
that occupation does not seem to i'm
pose the name OF a subject upon a resi-
dence bought by George Ill, rebuilt
by George ". and, though dlsliked by
William w., at once adopted by Queen
Victoria as her London residence, and
now the fixed headquarters OF the
king and the prospective headquarters
OF our kings to be. No wonder that
foreign visitors are puzzled by the un-
explained retention Of a former and
long irrelevant appellation. They ask
for the Palais Royal and are met with
a blank stare, a shake Of the head or
a statement which leaves a proportion
Of them under the superstition that his
majesty Is the guest Of the Duke OF
Buckingham.
Scarcely less appropriate would be
a cancelllng at last OF the name OF
Marlborough House as applied to the
new hereditary residence of the heirs
apparent. Marlborough is a great
name, 1t is true. but 1t is a name that
the present owner has a very natural
right to put up on the lintels Of the
new house he is building In Cuzon
street. No disrespect, then, is implied
toward the great Duke of Marlborough,
who built Ii In the first decade OF the
eighteenth century and gave Sarah.
Duchess the right to point over the
way to Buckingham palace and to
speak OF "Neighbor George" In 1917
II was bought from the Churchills for
the Princess Charlotte and Leopold,
afterward king of the Belgians. Later
Queen Adelaide was its occupant. Her
name or his would be at least as apt
as that of Marlborough for the house
each had inhabited. But Alexandra
IIouse-the name of the first-might
well give the house a title which would
also he a welcome private and public
commemoration.-London Chronicle.

RED WING, MINN.--On Jan. II, 1877,
Mr., and Mrs. F. Hemphtling celebrated
their golden wedding, this being the first
event Of the kind in the history Of Red
Wing. Their daughter and her husband,
Mr.. and Mrs. John Kuhn yesterday OBJ
served the fftieth anniversary Of their
wedding in a way that will long be re-
membered by their numerous friends.
Hundreds of invitations had been issued
and many were present The festivities
were held at the Gladstone hall. The aged
couple were assisted in receiving by the
children and immediate relatives. The
Red Wing fire department was prominent
in. the celebration.
John Kuhn and Christine Hemphtling
were married in New York in 1853 and left
shortly afterwards for Galena, III. They
remained there for two years and came
to Red Wing in 1856, renting house
which was remodeled into home the
next day. This was located where the
T. E. Sheldon residence now stands. Red
Wing was then only a small Indian vii
lage containing about twenty houses. A
general store was owned by Sheldon &
McIntire with T. K. Simmons as clerk.

IOWA
BOUNTY FOR DOGS

TO- " 4 FL
Des MoInes May Offer It-Wave of Alarm
on Account of Rabies.
DES MONIES, IOWA-Des Moines is to
have a war on dogs because Of the fear
of rabies. The chief of police has deter
mined to set dog catchers to work and a
suggestion is being considered that assprize
of 10 cents be offered for every dog
turned over to the police. If this plan is
carried out it is expected there will be
hot competition among the boys to bring
In dogs and get circus money.
The chemists who have been investi-
eating the recent mysterious deaths of
the three Evans children in this city, who
died within a week Of each other have
made their report to the coroner and take
the position that the children did not die
from ptomaine poisoning, as was at first
supposed. The children had eaten candy
and canned peaches, in fact the whole
family had, and all were. seized with ILL
ness few hours later, No evidence of
poison is found, however, in the candy.
The opinion Of the chemists and physi-
clans is that the boy died from enlarge
ment of the thymus gland in the throat.
The death of the other children was due
to the after effects of pneumonia.
Matters are gradually shaping them
selves for the hottest kind of a municipal
contest in Des Moines next spring. Several
candidates for mayor will probably be
announced ON the republican side. Mayor
Brenton will seek another term. 1t is
understood that Police Judge L. I. Sill
vara, who has been having a bitter fight
with the mayor, will announce himself.
Ex-Mayor John MacVicar is undoubtedly
preparing to run. There is also talk OF
ex Sheriff James F.. Stout. But the prob
abilities are that MacVicar and Stout will
| form a combination and not work at cross
purposes.
The democrats are watching for an OPP
l.portunity to renominate ex-Mayor j. j.
Hartenbower, who Is willing to take the
| field against Brenton. The situation will
be complicated by the congressional con-
test between Hull and Prouty and by the
| fact that the usual city offices and vacan.
cfes on the council have to be filed.
