Sued King Edward.

A l.. Lindsay, a local agent of
the New York Life Insurance COM
pany, has commenced an action at
Wilkes Barre to recover from King
Edward, of Great Britain, fortune
estimated at SS75 900.
On January 20, 1905, Captain
George Lindsay Anthony Wilson
died in London. He was bache-
lor, and as no trace of legal heirs
could be found his fortune was
awarded, on October 81, to King
Edward, under the intestate laws oi
Great Britain.
Mr.. Lindsay, who now lays claim
to the fortune, has established his
relation as first cousin to the faith
er of the deceased, and is believed
to be the only living heir.
His attorney, w. S. Mclean
has engaged attorneys in London
and legal fight is now ready to be
waged.
The London attorneys i'll a letter
to Mr.. Mclean state that the proof
of Mr.. Liudsay's relition ship to
Capt. Wilson is perfect, but as tn
money has been turned over to the
Crown, legal proceedings, which
may take several months, will have
to be gone through.

REMEDY FOR LAND MONOPOLY.

The people of Australia and New
leland wisely avoided the error If
tying themselves up so tightly in the
bonds of written constitution as to
prevent them from having such laws
as they find needful to deal with un.
looked-for- conditions. So they are
able to deal radically with the evil Of
land monopoly, which for time
threatened to bar her progress AMI
development.
In Queensland a law was passed
which enables the government to take
possession of any large body of land
under private ownership, paying such
price as as may be agreed upon or
judicially determined. The tract is
then subdivided and thrown open for
settlement, each settler being allow
ed twenty years to complete his pay
ments with interest. To prevent spec
native entries, actual residence on the
lands is required before title can be
granted This law has worked adj
mirably. Thousands of settlers have
been established, and although the
government borrowed the money to
make the purchases there has been
an actual net profit to the treasury,
not to mention the great public bene-
fit from peopling the land.
An unexpected and gratifying re
suit of the policy of the State is that
a number of land owners have volun
tarily adopted the same plan of sub
division of estates, with profit to
themselves. Thus it has come about
through the liberal and progressive
action of the government. that mil
lions of acres of Queensland, former
ly devoted entirely to grazing and al
most entirely unimproved, are nov
tiled by large number of prospe.
Gus farmers. In closing an official re
port on the operation of the law, Unit

marks that as an object lesson II

The State gives. the following
synopsis of Senator Hough g
speech in opposition to Mr.. Ray
sor's compulsory education bill
last week A:
Senator Hough said the prin.
ciple was the foundation of his
opposition to the bill. God has
made with all nature the home
and the government of the home.
Let the government Of the home
be the kingdom and the child it's
subject. His point was that com.
pulsory education was incom.
patible with democracy. Senator
Hough compared the South's q
educational progress with that
OF the North ; the one depleted
aud ravaged by war, the other
rich and prosperous. He thought
that voluntary education would
succeed.

OBITUARY

Upon having been sick for
several months and while sur
rounded by all of her immediate
family and many relatives and
friends Mrs w A Shute, in the
74th year of her life, at 1920
O'Clock Jauy 81, 1905, passed
quietly from this life into the
dresmless sleep that Knows no
waking until the resurrection
morn.
Mrs Shute was native of
South Carolina but has lived in
Mississippi since 1857. Since her
girlhood days she has been a de-
voted member Of the Baptist
church and for fifty odd years a
faithful wife and loving mother,
She lived a life Of consistent
christian duty and the esteem in
which she was held was testified
to by the some 200 people who
attended the funeral at the family
home and the burial in the family
grave yard. She leaves hus-
band and seven children to mourn
her loss but they have the consola
ton of knowing that she is reap
ing the re ward of life we'll spent.
