ceives the entire day and night reports
of the Associated Press;it has cor
respondent in every important town in
Iowa; it has its own special Washing

A Liberal Common School Education
Within the Reach of Every
Child

The school census gives a population of
1889 children between the ages of and
II years. There are forty-three school
districts in the county, so located that the
advantages of our liberal common school
system are brought within easy access of
every family. Sixty-three teachers are
employed in the grammar and primary
schools, an average of one teacher for
every thirty-eight census children. The
school term averages from eight to nine
months each year. Jackson has two two
story brick school houses; Sutter Creek
and lone have also commodious brick
school buildings. Last year there was
expended in support of common schools
the sum of SIS, ,516-an average of $17 per
head of school children.
We have one high school located at
lone, employing three teachers. for the
support of which there was raised last
year 1886. This high school supplies the
link between the common schools and the
university Graduates therefrom are eX-
pected to be admitted to the State Uni
versity without further examination.

REMARKABLE CLAIM MADE
BY A WEST VIRGINIAN
Ownership of Property in Phila-
deIphia Worth $4,000, 900.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 17.-Fred-
erick S. Malley of Weston, w. Va, has
retained a lawyer Of this city to inves-
tigate a remarkable claim against the
Government. Malley says he is one of
a dozen grandchildren of
Commodore David Watkins, who near
ly hundred years ago owned much
property west of the Schuylkill River
in Philadelphia. Upon part of this
property is located the Schuylkill
arsenal.
About a year ago, Malley claims, he
found among the commodore's effects
a paper which proved TO be a lease
made out by David Watkins to an Eng
lish land syndicate, which was to make
a formal return of the ground at the
expiration of ninety-nine years. He
believed that this syndicate had in
turn leased the ground TO the Gov
ernment, but with the expressed stipu-
lation that it belonged to Watkins and
would have to be returned at the end
Of ninety-nine years.
The lease expired last June and NAL
ley says about that time the Govern
ment offered the heirs $16,000,000 in
settlement of the claim of the Watkins
estate, but that the offer was declined
because the heirs believed the tract is
worth 100000.
