OF the corrupt customs tina marked
old-time English politics. IL writer in
the London Chronicle says: During
the reign of George I'LL, 3SS peers were
created most of them for political
5obbery. The favorite type of jobbery
was the manufacture of constituencies
guaranteed to return faithful support
ers Of the government. 1T was a
common practice writes a historian
of the period, to carry an election by
splitting up n freehold into ten, thus
multiplying tenfold the influence of a
local magnate.' Lord Melville. so late
as the first quarter of the nineteenth
century,, was able to return thirty-nine
out of the forty-five members for Scot
land"

STATE TO GET The
WEALTH OF MOST
BEAUTIFUL WOMAN
Curious Mixup in the Financia
Affairs Of Late Prominent
Couple.

Deadwood, S. D.. May 2l.-With n
known relatives to claim her estate
and with no known will existing, n
wealth of the late Mrs. John Il. Will
son, a member OF the woman board
of managers of the Worlds fair, a
graduate of a New York law school
and one of the most beautiful women
in the state of South Dakota, will prob
ably pass to the state and become an
asset of he school fund.
The condition of this estate is almost
unique in the annals OF the state. In
January, last. Mr.. Wilson died, leaving
aside from his own resources ana !iabil-
tiles, a heavy life insurance waicA
went to his wife. Il which could
not be touched for the debts OF
his estate. Mrs. Wilson survived him
only three months and died without
making a will. AS the insurance which
he had left, had become part of her
estate, it could not be touched for
the debts of his. and, in the absence
OF relatives and of a will, the money
nus needs go to the state.
A curious feature of the case is that
a short time before her dealt. Mrs
Wilson told a relative OF her husband
that in the new part of her house
was concealed a secret closet or drawer
She went SO far as to designate where
the key to this hidden recess would
wv AOdAiI, OoN oNAi save AV thinning os
to the Location of the closet.
Hunt for Closet Futile.
Since her death, believing that II
there is a will. it may be found in this
secret drawer, a thorough search of the
house has MISUNDERSTANDING
to locat this hiding place. The house
Is an old M to which extensive
additions have been made. One of the
carpenters who built the last addition
was located. He said that another car
penter, who has since dropped out OF
sight, would be the only man who
would know if such a place existed
He, however, suggested three places
in which a secret drawer might have
been put. Thorough search, however,
has thus far been futile. Nc trace OF
the hiding place can be found. and IL
is thought hat this statement of Mrs,
Wilson may nave been one of the de-
lusions of illness. The beautiful furn-
ishings of the house have been sold al
public sale and are being scattered
about the country, while one unusual
and interesting feature of a remark
able case is this: 1t was Mrs. Wilson'S
custom to keep an account in a New
York bank, and at the time of her
death, she had several thousand dol
lars there. This has been levied on,
according to the law concerning in
heritance tax in that state and the
amount coming to the chool fun will
be short several hundred dollars.

take the state institutions out of party
and fractional politics and to retain those
in position who are doing good service
The fact that a political friend of the gov.

deaf mute school shows also hat the board
was acting in harmony with the wishes
of the governor.
James ID. Mclaughlin, of Watertown,
was elected superintendent of the schooi

school for the blind. resigned to accept q
