king Land SUITS.
The Supreme Court Affirms
Judge John w. MasOn's
Decision.

Three decisions handed down by
the West Virginia supreme court of
appeals last week affirmed the judg-
ment of Judge John w. Mason, of
the Marion county circuit court, in
the case of the State VS.. King, and
Henry {. King, long litigant in
the courts of the state for the recov.
cry of thousands Of acres of valua.
BILE lands in West Virgiuia again
lost his suit.
Two of the opinions were written
by Judges Poffenbarger and Miller.
while Judges Poffenbarger and
Brannon wrote The other, Judge
Brannon writing an opinion on the
constitutional questions involved ii
the suit.
KING LAND CASE.
The King land case is one Of the
most noted which ever came before
the courts OF West Virginia for ad-
judicstion and the arguments in the
case, made in November, consumed
all entire week of twelve sIttings of
the court. Besides the arguments,
yvoluminous records were filed in the
case.
ORIGIN OF THE CASE.
The case grew out of an original
grant made 20 certain lands in West
Virginia, the major portion OF
which we're in the southern section
the state. Some of the best legal
talent In the country has been EN-
ployed in the case on both sides
The case was argued In the supreme
court in three sections and the opin-
ions handed down are In the same
style.
Judges Poffenbarger and Brannon
in portion of the syllabus cay:
"ln a suit by the state to sell
land as forfeited for non-entry on
the tax books the former owner,
King asked redemption, aud he
paid into court the money fixed for
redemption, and decree was made
that ne had right of redemption.
Upon appeal, the d rec was revers
ed, insofar as it fixed the sum and
declared that redemption had beeL
effected, and the case was remanded
to require King to specify the parts
of the tract he wished to redeem,
and held the amount paid is not
sufficient. King did not thus &C.
qnlre vested property right in re-
demption, nor had he a contract
with the state free from impairment
by the legislature nor was a sale of
the land thereby created by the state
to King. Chapter AZ, acts 1905, is
not invalid as impairiDg any such
contract or vested right
"When former owner Of forfeit
ed lands asks to be allowed to re.
deem, that does not create con.
tract by the state with him to allow
redemption. The statute allowing
redemption is not an offer by the
state to sell which, when so accept
ed, makes a Contract by the state to
sell. Until actual redemption by
payment and a decree of redemption
there arises no vested right of prop.
-erty or contract.

ABRuzzl YIELDS TO FAMILY.

Rome, Italy.-The Elkins-Abruzzi
match is now at an end for all time,
according to information received
from the most trustworthy source.
The marriage has been abandoned
definitely and there is not likely again
to be any question about it.
All efforts to ascertain the exact rea-
sons have been unsuccessful, but it is
evident that they are based upon fam
lily objections on both sides which
cannot be overcome.
This information is confirmed by the
fact that the Perseverance, Of Milan, a
newspaper which is regarded as the
mouthpiece of the Italian foreign Of
fee, declares the engagement is now
of. simultaneously with this publica-
ton the duke of the Abruzzi has dis
patched a long cable message to Miss
Elkins declaring that he has been I'M

HUNDREDS PERISH
JAPANESE STEAMERS IN CRASH
OFF PORT OF cHEFoo.
DISASTER IN DENSE FOG
Both Ships Sink, Carrying Down win
Them Mary American and Euro
pean Passengers-Vietlms
May Number 700.

Chefoo. China. - Two Japanese
steamships collided off this port Mon
day afternoon. Details of the accident
were lacking, but it was reported that
a total of 700 persons had been
drowned.
According to the best information
available, the vessels were passenger
boats and heavily loaded with Euro
peans and Americans.
The crash suddenly came in dense
fog. The lookouts were unable to
see more than few yards ahead, and
could not give the alarm in time for
the passengers and crew to take to
the lifeboats.
The ships crashed with mighty i'm
pact within two minutes after warning
cries had been sent down to those
below.
Instantly there was frantic rush
for safety. Not stopping to lower the
boats, scores leaped into the sea. Most
of these were drowned
The vessels sank soon after the col
lision, taking down with them the pas
sengers and crew who were asleep at
the time of the accident
The catastrophe was appalling, the
news agency says and was so COM
plete that for a time not even the
names of the Inflated ships could be
learned. The Japanese government
went to work on the case, and expect
ed soon to have the boats identified.

FIGURES OF THE
RECENT ELECTION
RESULTS AS SHOWN BY The
OFFICIAL RETURNS.
TAFT'S MAJORITY WAS Sl,969
Vote Very Little Larger Than That
Cast in 19o4-Gov. Davidson Fell
Behind the Head o.
the Ticket.


Madison, Nov. 25.-William Howard
Tnft carried Wisconsin by a plurality
Of S1,969. The vote was but little
larger than the vote for president in
1904; about 5000 Taft received b.
$40 less votes than did Roosevelt in
1904, while Bryan received 42,499 more
votes than did Parker in 1904. Tafts
heaviest loss, over 1000 votes, was in
Milwaukee county. Next comes Dane,
where he lost in round numbers 1,70O
votes
Official returns from state officers
show that Gov. Dayidson's plurality
was 77l10 or 1856 less than the plu-
rarity of Mr.. Taft.
The pluralities of the other state
officials were: Dahl, $500; Frear,
1896; Gilbert, S6,227; Strange, 49,
S64; Beedle, S1,SO4 1t will be seen
that the governors plurality was ex-
ceeded by II, $50 in the case of Sec
rotary Frear down to 1884 in the case
of Insurance Commissioner Beedle.
Mr.. Aylward, Democratic candidate
for governor, received S,S76 more votes
than the lowest man on his ticket
and 1921 more than the next highest
man on the ticket, which was William
Guilliaume, candidate for insurance
commissioner With these two excep-
tions the vote for the Democratic
state officers was but little over 157,-
600 While Gov Davidson ran 5,6l5
votes behind Taft he had more
votes than Taft in 19 counties in the
state. The counties which the gov
ernor carried over Taft were: Adams,
Bayfield, Barron, Burnett, Door, For
est, Jackson, Juneau, Kenosha, Ke-
waunee, La Crosse, Lafayette, Polk,
Rusk, Sawyer, Shawano, Vernon, Wal
worth and Winnebago The counties
where the vote was the same were:
Brown, Florence Monroe and Villas.
Davidson's losses, as compared with
Taft's vote. were heaviest in Milwau-
kee, Dodge and Racine counties.
Trempealeau county, where the gov
ernor made a hot campaign for T. T.
Twesme. gave him 127 votes less than
it gave for Taft, which, in view of the
feeling aroused, is somewhat remark
abel Crawford the governors home
county, gave him 25 votes less than
it gave Taft
On the Democratic side the table
shows that Aylward ran but 759 votes
behind Bryan in the state, and ran
away ahead of any of the other candi-
dates on the state ticket.
The vote for the Social Democrat
and Prohibition candidates seems to
have followed closely the vote for
president Brown, the Social Demo
cratic candidate for governor, ran 465
votes ahead of Debs, while Cox, the
Prohibition candidate for governor,
ran little over 100 behind Chain, the
Prohibition candidate of the party.
The official figures are as follows:

The History of Christian Science ends in the June McClure's with an analysis of Mrs Eddy's philosophy" Here is an extract from the article:
 Not to be warned by the footprints or time, Mrs. Eddy pauses in her revision of Genesis to wonder whence came the wife of Cain? But on the whole, she profits by the story of Cain, for here she finds one of those little etymological clews which never escape her penetra- ton. The fact that Adam and all his race were but a dream of mortal mind is proved, she says.b by the fact that cam went to dwell in the land of Nod the land of dreams and illusions Mrs Eddy offers this seriously, as 'scientihc exc gesis.
 Mrs Eddy's conclusion about the crea- ton seems to be that we are all in reanty the offspring of the first creation re- counted in Genesis, in which man Is not named but is simply said to be in the image of God; but we think we are the children of the creation described In the second chapter; of the race that mag ined sickness sin and death for ltseI. The tree of knowledge which caused Ad- aam's fall, Mrs Eddy says, was the be- lief of life in matter, and she suggests that the forbidden fruit which Eve gave to Adam may have been "a medical worK, perhaps
