Marquis Curzon Dies in London DIm*M Following Operation Fatal to Lord President of Privy Council. By International »*• Sorrier. London, Marsh :o.—Marquis Cur zon, lord president of th* privy coun cil, and leader of the aristocratic iso lationist! in British politics, died early today from the illness which followed an operation on March S. His condition has been critical for three days and lung complications sped the course of his final illness. An aristocratic of aristocrats, his brilliant political career was halted short of his greatest ambition, to be come British premier, by his arrival at a position where he might have' been named at a time when lords were no longer considered prime minister material, and by his penchant for making enemies. Composes Own Obituary. Only a short time ago in a speech, Lord Curzon said he had composed his own obituary. "Here lies a superior person, in in telligent anticipation of the life to come.’’ Lord Curzon had been married to two American women, his first wife being Mary Victoria Letter, of Wash ington, D. C.; and his second the daughter of the. late J. Monroe Hinds, formerly American minister to Brazil. As he left no sons, the marqulsate heoomes extinct. His viscountcy passes to his nephew, Richard Cur znn, and the eldest daughter of his first marriage succeeds to the haio netcy. His youngest daughter was at hta bedside when he died. Lord ("urznn's death prohablv will mean a liberallzatlnn of British for eign policy. He had been leader of the Isolationists and opposed to the French security pact. His death probably will mean that the group led by Austen Chamberlain, foreign secretary, will have a freer hand. The Marquis Curzon. George Na thaniel Curzon. was horn January It, 1559. at Kedleston, Derby. England, the son of Rev. Alfred Nathaniel Hoi den Curzon, fourth baron of Scars dais. He was educated at Eton and Ballol college, Oxford. In 1595 he became a baron and in 1911 he was made an earl. His last title, marquis, came in 1921. He was appointed under secretary for foreign affairs in 1595. In 1599 he was made viceroy and governor general of India a post he held until 1905. During the war he acted as presi dent of the air board in 1915 and 1916. In 1916 Lloyd George made him a member of the imperial war cabinet. DE Win DRUGGIST GIVEN JAIL TERM Wilber. March 20.—C. A.

Now Dead. Aurora. March 23.—Claimant* arc beginning to appear for the estate of George Wick, who disappeared from this county about 1*3? and whose es late has been administered by guar dians hy the county Judge* of Ham ilton county The latest claimant Is George Wick of Hong Pine. Neh., who told his story to County Judge T. M. Scott Monday. George Wick brought with him an old family Bible showing no tations of the birth and death dates of his father. William H. Wick. He said that his father was horn In 1821 In Pennsylvania and enlisted with the t'nion forces during the civil war. The eternal triangle comes Into the Wick story In the fact that after George Wick's father had gone to the war his mother ran away to Ohio with another man. George Wick claimed that he was born near Meadville. Penn., in 1862, while his father was in the army. On the return of his father from the army service he leartjed of the flight of his wife,and her paramour and started for Ohio, declaring his in tention to kill both his wife and her paramour. George Wick said that his father did not return until 1872 and that he remained lit Pennsylvania only a short time and then disap peared. returning again in 1833. In ISAS George WTick and his family removed to Newport in Rock county. Nebraska, taking his father with him, and the latter died at I.ong Pine December 13, 1833. Georgs Wick claims that he had no knowledge that his falher had any estate in Hamilton county or else where. He claims that the first inti mation he had an estate was found in newspaper slorics referring to the William Wick estate. W'llllam Wick was committed to the Insane asylum from Hamilton county May 13. 1886. and ho escaped November 3, 1831. Senator Perry Reed of Hamilton county was a neigh bor of Wick and he remembers hav ing seen him in 1892. At that time Wick wras under guardianship but later his guardian resigned and Ihe county judges of Hamilton county continued to lease his land and col lect the rentals. The records show that former County Judge Fred Jef fers received 33,184 rentals mo*e than he disbursed for taxes on the land. Demand has been made on Judge Jef fers for the payment of this money to the regularly appointed administrator. The W’ick estate consists of Sfl acres of Hamilton county land and the money held by former County Judge Fred Jeffers. County Judge T. M. Scott has re reived a number of letter* making Inquiries about the Wick estate and It seema probable that clalmanta will appear to conteat the claim of George Wick. Tha First Trust company of Aurora, Neb., Is admfnlatrator of this estate. 650 ind upwards I PREMIER BABY GRAND The Nation’s choice ! should be your selec- j tion. H°ar the Premier ! TODA .

She couldn t think of a thing hat could possibly happen to in any vay make it less than the perfect home it seemed to be. Of course there was a hack door, this hack door opened between some if (he stones of the old stone wall a *hort distance away. Polly didn't “Oh, dear!" sohh-il Polly. "Our new house is ruined" think that they would ever need to use that hack door, hut when she dug that home she was wise enough to know that it is never safe to have only one way out of a place. it was just after the Black Shad nws had crept through the Old Or chard that Farmer Brown's Boy was taking a short-cut home from the Green Forest, lie came to the old stone wall just back of the new house of the Chucks. He put his hand on a big stone on top of the wall, intending to vault over. But that big stone was loosely placed, ana when he put his weight against it it rolled off the wail and fell down on the other side.

But when that big stone fell from the top of the wall It fell right in ihc entrance of the home of Johnny anti Polly Chuck and just filled it. They didn't find out untill the next morn ing when they started to go out. Per haps you can imagine how they felt when they discovered that their door way was closed. They tried to dig around it but couldn't. You see. there were other slones In the way. It was these other stones that had made that home seem so safe to them. There had 'been just room between them for their hallway. Df course, they at once hurried nut through the hack door and around to see whiK hail happened. There lay that big stone closing their front doorway. They couldn't move it. Thai doorway was as firmly rinsed as if there had never been one. There were tears in the eyes of Polly Chuck a* she and Johnny stared at the great stone Who could have done this thing? They hadn't the leaat Idea, "ph, dear!” sobbed Polly. "Our new home is ruined. Now we'll have to look around for another place, and there Isn't another as good as this anywhere In the Great World. I just know it.” But we can still use the back door said Johnny Chuck soothingly. "But that won’t do,” retorted Pol ly. "I simply won t live in a house which has only one entrance." "Perhaps we can dig another en trance from the other side of the old stone wall," said Johnny hope fully. "I don’t believe we can," replied Polly. "Anyway, we will be on the wrong side then and have to climb over the old stone wall every time we. wanted to get. some sw-eet clover. No, we've got to give this home up Ami 1 d‘d love it so' Oh dear' Oh dear!" Johnny Chuck did his best to mm fort Polly, but she wasn't to he cent forted.
