TOM REED ON HIS ANCESTORS.
Why the Maine Man Drew the Genoa
IouicaI Line Where He Did,

In the memorable campaign of 1890
Thomas B. Reed went west to address
a mass meeting. On the way an eld-
erly gentleman named Reed boarded
the special car in which the genial
tom" was smoking and entertaining
his friends, and on being presented,
said
"Mr. Reed, | had thought to write
you; but learning you were coming
into Iowa l waited your coming, feel
ing sure l could learn more in a brief
interview than | could from an ex-
tended correspondence with you.
have thus far failed to find in any
of the numerous sketches of your life
any mention of your ancestry back of
your father, Thomas Bracket Reed.
Sr. Will you kindly give me the
name of your grandfather on your ia
theirs side?"
Mr.. Reed promptly responded. -.
"And your greatgrandfather?" was
the next inquiry.
Here the speaker gave his new
found relative broad smile, and
twisting his mouth to one side, as
was his wont, he said:
I'll have to admit don't know.
The fact is, Mr.. Reed, retired from
the field of genealogical research
quite early in life. After satisfying
myself that no one of my immediate
ancestors had been hung for murder
or been run out of the country for
horse stealing, thought it safest not
to pursue the subject further!"-

LIBEL DISMISSED.
Decision Rendered in Favor Of Steamer

Justice Barnard Of the District supreme
Court today dismissed the libel proceeding
instituted by the Columbia National Sand
dredging Company. owner. and Frank V
hintz master OF the towboat Euxe,fa
against the steamer Charles MacaIester
owned by the Mount Vernon and Marshall
tiaH Steamboat Company The cour- held
that no salvage had beer earned by the
Hoeiants. as the assistance rendered had

master of the Manchester
The iibeiants claimed that they wera ar.
titled to 5000, which. II was said fenre.

On behalf OF the owners OF the Naca,es-

that the steamer. under her own steam, am,
without the assistance of the furenja
moved out of her slip to the middle OF th,,
river. and that any assistance rendered by
the EuSenia was gratuitous
Inc opinion of the court holds that al
though the testimony was somewhat con-
iiicting. even II the persons In Charge of
the Manchester at the time had antict-
pated that she was In peril and had re-
quested the Eugenia to tow her into mid

recovered 50 or $40. on a basis of towage.
