DEBT OF SIXTY YEARS PAID.
Obligation of $4,000 Grown TO $50.
600 is Liquidatcd by Widow of Mil.
liOnaire.

Chicago, Oct. IA dispatch to
the Tribune from Dubuque, Ia. says:
The fact that $4,000 of the Russell
Sage millions will go to the heirs of
Ezekiel Oliphant is furnishing an in
teresting theme Of conversation in this
vicinity. The Olphants now residing
In Des Moines, formerly made their
home in Dubuque county, later pur.
chasing farm In Jones county.
The story on which the payment of
the sum named rests dates back more
than SO years. The debt was one
which the lapse OF years had wiped
out so far as legal responsibility was
concerned. About the year 1874
there was a partnership in the salt
business between Joseph afterwards
gcneraD Slocum and Oliphant at Sy-
racuse, n. Y. The business did not
prosper and in settling up the affairs
Of the concern $4,000 belonging to
Oliphant was applied to the ac-
count.
Slocum remained in New York and
Oliphant. with his family came West.
The eldest daughter Of Mr.. Slocum
became the second wife of Russell
Sage of New York. The families, lost
track Of each other and the old debt
of Joseph Slocum remained unpaid.
The matter recently was presented to
Mrs. Sage's attorneys and she order
ed the debt, grown through interest
from $4,000 to $4,000 discharged.

appointed. There was general ex
preston Of satisfaction, however.
over his reconsideration of his
determination to move to Ten
sas parish, for now that th,
change is not to be made Stambou,
confesses that it would have been
much chagrined to- have the distin-
guished visitor go away with an emp-
ty bag before the time originally
fixed.
General confidence in his success in
the new camp on Bear Lake continues
buoyant and the reports from there
are uniformly favorable. Indeed II is
said that number Of fresh trails
were discovered yesterday and that
on one occasion the party came on a
good sized bear which, on account of
the absence Of the dogs, escaped.
Many of the dogs used in last weeks

try are reported to be lame and an
effort is being made to replace them
with fresh animals.
1t is not believed by the presidents
associates that he will now make any
change. There is no doubt of the
presence of game now, but it is shy
and may disappear before the hunt
ers. as it did from the Monticello
camp. The Tensas parish people are
reported much disappointed over the
failure OF the president to carry out
his programme for his visit to their
township.

Columbia. Oct. 15.-Dr. c. H.

proval Of the state board Of ento-

One Of DR.. Chambliss' first duties

vasion Of South Carolina is Imminent
on account OF the threatened whole

farmers Of Western cotton seed hulls.
which very often carry thousands of

who purposely and knowingly import
ed such pest would be dealt with
very severely. 1t Is with farmers who
are not aware Of the danger from
Western hulls that DR.. Chanbliss will
principally have to deal.
1t will be remembered that DR..
Chambliss was summarily discharged
at Clemson. but refused to quit with

ton showed that DR.. Chambliss had
done splendid work. and that he was
discharged BECAUSE he did not

he had anything OF Importance to
