when a final vote is to be

The Way of the Editor
An exchange says: An editor is a
cross between piety and early old age.
He never swears in the paper without
abbreviating a dash. He toils along
like a stone gathering moss until lum-
bago strikes him in the back. The
! gathering of wealth has but a faint
hope or shadow in his mind. He lives
from day to day in hope of getting
conscience inoney from his subscribers,
| who owe him several years subserip-
i tions, but the subscriber sleeps well
| every night while he struggles on, and
|atways having something coming.

What The Grip Is.
The Oil City Blizzard defines Ia
grippe in the following words: “It is
a combination of bad colds, several
degrees at once, continual headache,
stomach ache, sickness at the stomach,
blind staggers, chicken pox, hives,
spring halt, seven-year itch, disorder-
ed liver, kidney trouble, each bone in
one's body trying to ache more than
the others, and about forty other in-
describable diseases, All of these never
less, sometimes more, at one and the
same time,"

In September, 188 Sankey came
east, and on October 25 of that year he
died at the home of his brother, John
Sankey, at Miflinburg, Union county.
He left in California thirteen lots in
Berkely, lots on Channel street and
the house at Nineteenth and Jessie
streets, San Francisco, This is worth
$50,000 now, In Chicago he had thir |"
teen lots also, and $12,000 in money.
Just what the lots are worth is not
known definitely, but $10,000 has been
offered for them. At MifMlinburg he
owned a tannery anil property said to
be worth $50,000 and some notes and
judgments against his litigious rela-

Before his death Caroline had found
a friend in Charles 8. Coggins, of San
Francisco. Mrs. Coggins gave her a
home and upon Sankey's death Mr.
Coggins was appointed her guardian
and applied to Judge Coffey for letters
of administration on her adopted fath-
er's estate. This application was come
batted by John Sankey, of MiMlinburg
on behalf of the Pennsylvania relatives
who offered the disinheriting will for
probate.
Thus began the long legal struggle
which has just ended. The relatives
who had ignored the gin when she
was in want became over-
