RE-HEARIlIl5
Is Refused by the State Su.

Clifford Cas-.

The state supreme court has re-
fused a re-hearing in the Stout
Clifford case The court December 10
handed down an opinion confirming
the decision of the circuit court,
which gave Clarence P. Stout one
seventh interest in the estate of the
late James P. Clifford. This week
the defendants asked for re-hearing,
which was refused by the court as
already stated. This ends the con-
troversy.
Winning the case for Mr.. Stout was
quite a legal triumph for Attorney
E. G. Smith, who alone was counsel
for the plaintiff, while the defendants
had such able legal talent as John
Basel, sperry and sperry. George NJ

From Abroad and VIII Deliver
a Series of Lectures on
Subject.

LONDON, Jan. 13.-Count Lutzow,
the Bohemian scholar and historian,
will leave London January 20 for an
extended tour Of America, and will.
besides giving an address befo 'e Con-
gress. deliver a series of lectures
amonk many Of the chief universities
OF America.
The address before Congress will be
largely devoted to the subject Of Uni
versal Peace and early attempts in
that direction made by a king OF Boz
hemia. King George Of Podebrad, who
proposed union of European coun-
tries to put stop to war. The lee
lures at the universities will be on the
history and literature OF Bohemia,
politics as far as possible being elm
mated.
The Count is due to arrive in Wash
ington February 4, and the address
to Congress will be delivered on the
next day.
Count Lutzow is known throughout
Europe as an authority on things Be-
hemian, and ne has lectured and
written about his country in almost
every university on this side of the
water. This, however, will be>his first
trip to America, and he is looking for
ward to It with a great deal of inter-
est. He was induced to make it by
the Bohemian Society of Chicago. and
by the fact that in Nebraska and 9TH
er western states there are large and
prosperous Bohemian colonies. A big,
| Jolly man, who is usually surrounded
in his London residence, where he and
the Countess entertain, by the best OF
the literary circle of England and the
continent, the Count is sure to appeal
to the American collegian.
