a Missouri Dead Mnn sign. III. own VIII.

An interesting case, which has been pend
ing In the courts IN franklin county for year.
past, rivals IN Its nature anything of the sort,
possibly ever heard of In the history of the
present age. The circumstances as gathered
from one OF the attorneys engaged for the
defense (outside of the court-rooml are briefly
as follows Some time ago there lived in the
town OF Washington an old bachelor. who
possessed considerable amount of property,
and had no relatives save one who, it is said.
was needy. The individual (bachelor) was
taken quite i'll, and was advised to make
his will, which he did, beqceathng all of his
estate to the children of a friend. The news be-
came generally known in the town of the
manner In which the testator had disposed Of
hls property, leaving out any consideration to
his kindred friend. While the man still lin
gered on his bed of sickness it was made up
among some OF the relative that three OF them
should visit the sick man and advise him TO
make second will, with provisions for the
relief of the kinsman. Consent being given,
the parties, who, it is said, were all on a
tight, and who had no personal interest in
the matter save the good feeling they enter
tanned for the neglected friend, appointed one
of their number to write. The table was
drawn up close to the bedside of the sick
man, who, as well as he could, dictated
the nature of his bequest. Before the
conclusion and singing of the will the man
died. One of the party remarked to the
scribe THAT it was useless to go on, as the
man was dead as HI" However, after its
conclusion, the dead man was lifted up in a
sitting posture and held, the pen was placed
between his fingers, and made to trace his
name, after which the question was asked,
''Do you acknowledge this to be your sigma
ture and last will, etc.? The dead man. by
the aid of those that held him up, nodded as
sent. The corpse was then quietly laid down,
and the individuals signed their respective
names as witnesses to the instrument. The
trio who witnessed the will are all dead, and
the only seeming trouble is the proper con-
struction of the will, which, under the cir
cumstances and under the influence of an in
toxlcated brain, the scribe somewhat blended

4 letter written entirely in Chinese charac-

City, Utah, has been received at the dead let

in the department who can read Chinese

its presence by eruptons on the skn or foul ulcer

ness often, though not always, cured
by its use. Nothing can restore the
hair where the follicles are destroyed,
or the glands atrophied and decayed.
But such as remain can be saved for
usefulness by this application. Instead
of fouling the hair with pasty sedi-

Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. Free

injurious to the hair, the Vigor can
