'FAT KING EDDY"
NOT CARNEGIE JOKE


Edinburgh, october Lord Guthrie
the Scottish judge. has Just made pubic
some "reminiscences of the late Andrew
Carnegie, in which he disposes of story
which has long been current that MT.
Carnegie received the late King Edward
at Skibo with the salutation, Hail. iat
King Eddy" Lord Guthrie tells what
the story is based on as follows;
AT Dunrobin, not at Skibo, his laVe
majesty asked Mr.. Carnegie to tell him
about a great banquet given in Mr.. car
negie's honor at Pittsburg. Mr. Car
negie mentioned that Joaquin Miller, the
American poet, had recited a poem IN
which he made free with Carnegie's own
name and with the names or many much
more illustrious persons.
THE King asked, What did Miller say
about me?'
Mr.. Carnegie replied that he was afraid
the poets reference had not been very
respectful.
"'.What was it?' said his majesty,
and he laughed heartily when Mr. Car
nesie had to admit that King Edward
had been referred to as Fat kins
Eddy.

rs BARRELS OF
BEER AND NONE
TO CLAIM THEM
Store of Amber F1uid Taken by
Sheriff Under Search and Seiz-
ure Law Of State.

Poor, forsaken beer, Yes, 25
barrels of the sure-nuff amber fluid
and denied by the owner or own
ers, thrown on the mercy of the
county court!
This was the situation that pre-
vailed this morning when Judge N.
A. Larson signed the warrant that
sent Sheriff John G. Miller to Car
bon Cliff to make the first seizure
under the newly enacted search and
seizure law of Illinois in Rock Is
land county and what is believed
likely the first instance of the OPP
Grafton of the law in the state.
The seizure of the outlawed stuff
was caused by william c. Mardis,
president of the village board of
Carbon Cliff. Mr.. Mardis in pre-
senting his affidavit to the court,
declared the beer was stored in a
barn on the premises of John
Schrier on Fourth street in the vii
lage and that he had reason to be-
lieve it was there for purposes Of
sale and distribution.
None to Claim It.
Schrier denied the ownership of
the beer and no one could be un-
covered who was willing to claim
it as their property, explained Mar
dis to the judge. For this reason
the latter suspected that the bever-
age was intended for sale at pic
mic and he so stated this in his
affidavit.
