CHARLES HICKS MAY
NOT. GET FORTUNE

| Centeryille, Dec. 4.-The claim OF
Charles Hicks, former resident here
| to q share in the estate Of George Lloyo
| who died in California. leaving for
tune, seems to have met an obstacle
| that will probably cause him to lose
| out. H. r. Valentine, who has been in.
vestgating for the estate has returned
from trip to Kansas where ne inter
viewed Kos Harris and Reese Vermll-
ion, familiar with the handwriting OF
Amos Harris, and they are reported to
have stated positively that the &C
acknowledgement was not in his hand
writing. This acknowledgement was
alleged to have been written in the
clerks office in the court house In 1851
If the presence Of Arch Hicks or I'm
ionville, in which George Lloyd signed
the acknowledgement that Charles
Hicks was his son.
1t is further an interesting circum-
stance that the acknowledgment is
written on ruled paper, with the lines
numbered down the margin. An inves-
tigation among court house papers
shows none such in use till 1885. 1t Is
further said that the plaintiff is rely
ing on a statement that this acknowl-
edgement was written in the clerk s
office in the court house in the square
in 1861, when the court house is said
not to have been occupied there until
1893
The case grows out Of the death Of
George E. Lloyd in California leaving
his property by will to his children,
with no mention of Charles Hicks, who
is alleged to have been his child The
California law provides that forgot
ten heir can claim part of an estate. II
he can show written acknowledgement
before witnesses Of his being a child. If
this written Acknowledgement is dis
credited the case will fail

IN PEORIA, ILL

Iowa City, Dec. 4.-The sixteen year
old daughter Of Mrs. Miller, of West
Liberty, has been finally located after

searching she was found short time
ago in Peoria, Ill.,, where she had gone
and married a youth not much older
than herself. 1t appears, however, that
the couple are getting along all right,
and no attempt has been made to COM
pc! her to return home.

AFTERWHILES.

Where are they-the Afterwhiles-
Luring us the lengthening miles
OF our lives? Where is the dawn,
With the dew across the lawn,
Stroked with eager feet the far
Way the hills and valleys are?
Where the sun that smites the frown
OF the eastward gazer down?
Where the rifted wreaths of mist
Ger us, tinged with amethyst,
Round the mountains steep defles
Where are all the afterwhiles?
Afterwhile-and we will go
Thither, yon, and TO and fro
From the sitting city streets
To the country's cool retreats
From the riot to the rest
Where hearts beat the placidest;
Afterwhile, and we will fall
Under breezy trees, and loll
In the shade, with thirsty sight
Drinking deep, the blue delight
OF the skies that will beguile
Us as children-afterwh
Afterwhile-and one intends
To be gentler to his friends
To walk with them in the hush
OF still evenings, DER the plush
OF home-leading fields and stand
Tong at parting, hand in hand;
One, in time, will try to take
New resolves, for some ones sake,
And wear then the look that lies
Clear and pure in others eyes
He will soothe and reconcile
His own conscience afterwhile.
Afterwhile-we have in view
A FAR scene to journey to-
Where the old home is, and where
The old mother waits us there,
Peering as the time grows late
Down the old path to the gate
How We'll click the latch that locks
In the pinks and hollyhocks.
And leap up in the path once more
Where she waits us at the door
How Wen greet the dear old smile,
And the warm tears -afterwhile.
All, the endless afterwhile.
Leagues on leagues and mile on miles
In the distance far withdrawn,
Stretching ON, and on, and on, e7
Till the fancy is footsore =
And faints in the dust before w
The last milestone's granite face 800
Hacked with Here Beginheth Space
o, far glimmering' worlds and wings
Mystic smiles and beckonings
Lead US, through the shadowy aisle.
Out into the afterwhiles.
