Graham and Emil S to Lake Manawa last Friday the purpose of hunting ducks. hit many ducks, but Graham hit the lake with such force as to cause cided waterquake, and make him probably a little wetter than any one that ever spent so short a time in the lake. The two young men got a boat and went out into the middle of the lake. Schurz had a gun that would not 0 off unless he went off with it, so that he had to spend his time watching the game and telling Graham when to shoot. A large board was stuck up in one side of the boat 80 that Graham might not be visible to the game. Suddenly Schurz espied a crow and immediately sent a signal up to Graham from Lis end of the boat to let 'er go Galla- gher. Mr. Gallagher went, but he took Gra- ham with him. As the latter arose to a standing posture to shoot he leaned on one side and lost his balance. Schurz was con- siderably occupled with wondering whether he would go too, but he remembers that Gra- ham struck the water without a single joint in his body, and when the collision took place there was a report as if the side of a barn had fallen fn. Fortunately the boat did not capsize and Schurz was able to rescue his companion uninjured, excepting for sev- eral gallons of water which he absorbed inter- nally and externally. hurz paid a visit afternoon for They did not the top of a d SOCIAL GOSSIP, How the Last Week of Lent Was Spent by World-Weary Peo, Mr. and Mrs. Miltonberger were surprised by a party of friends last Monday evening their residence on Washington avenue.

Miss Neola Ogden recelved an encore for her singing of two numbers. Mrs. Lyon read a selection entitled ‘‘Memory Bells," in her usual enjoyable way.

Suits were commenced in the district court yesterday by the Union Pacific, Rock Island and the Milwaukee railways to re- cover the taxes which it s claimed were illegally levied by the county board in 188, 1889 and 1890. Mention of this claim has alrcady been made in the columns of The Bee. The board in those years levied a tax of 6 mills for county purposes in- stead of only 4, as the law allows, and it Is these extra 2 mills that give rise to the present litigation. An effort s now being made by the county board to have a law passed by the legislature whieh will right the wrong without forcing the county to disgorge any of the money. The Union Pacific wants $3,600, the Rock Island $4,600 and the Milwaukee $1,400. Unity Guild Entertalnment.

Y., for the purpose of getting better acquainted with the world in which he lives. During that time he has seen every part of the United States. He wears a little leather harness, to which are fastened little metallic tags bear ing the names of the places he has visited These tags are fastened clogely togeth and, like the old lady who had rings on her fin gers and bells on her toes, "Owney' has music wherever he goes. Every rallroad man in the country knews him, for he has a way of staying in one place untll he gets tired, and then boarding the first train that comes along and taking his departure. He has a free pass on every frelght and passen ger traln that runs on wheels, and in usiog it he has the same heavenly delight that at tacks the heart of the Council Blufts alder- office.

When Wilmington is left out of account the rest of the state is peopled chiefly by a rural community, native to the soil and descended from an- cestors often settled for two centuries within the bounds of the state. There are many families still holding lands under seventeenth century patents, lands that have descended from father to son all those years without the passage of title deeds. It is only a few years since a Delawarean about to remove to the west sold a ple of land that his had purchased from an Indian chief, as the representative of his tribe. Long descent in is confined to no self-constituted upper clas but Is the boast of all sorts of people. There are many ancient churches in Dela- ware, and probably every one includes within its congregation some families de- scended from those who took part in or- ganizing the church. Rural communities throughout the state are curlously immobile Surnames are fe and the reglon from which a man comes Is easily guessed from his name. Family traditions are jealously treasured, and family traits reappear generation after generation., There I8 a nu us family in the northern county famous from the fact that nearly all its male members have red heads and heavy red I The charac- teristic is said to belong even to branches of the family in the west. Long descent, though so common, 15 highly prized, and even when a family has sunk into dis- repute the fact of a respectable ancestry is held to make its members a little better than Just every-day newecomers whose conduct s no worse Neighbors in Delaware have tenacious memories, and old family scandals are whispered about for generations.
