THE contest over the will Of Ward, the
"lron King Of the Northwest" now pro-
gressing in Detroit court, is strange
illustration Of how man apparently Of
the strongest and shrewdCst brains, may
be conquered by the groSsest folly and
superstition. Ward, who died last win.
ter, controlled the politics Of his State,
the mining industries Of the Lake region
railroad and steamboat lines and manu-
factures-in short, his power and ambi.
ton were felt all throughout the North.
west. by his own sagacity and toll he
had amused Il fortune OF several millions
Of dollars. The public never knew until
his will was brought into court that the
weak spot in his character was n super.
stition. lTo was such n slayish subject Of
Spiritualism that none Of its impostures
were too absurd for him to put faith in.
Mediumistic humbngs preyed upon him
and controlled all his actions in later
years. Through them he consulted with
the "spirits' Of Senator Howard and
Dean Richmond to get their advice about
his business affairs. lie branded one Of
his sons as ilegitimatc because n flower.
painting medium omitted the blossom
typical Of him from bouquet emble-
matte Of the family. lie made his will in
accordance with medication Of u medium
who professed to speak for his first wife.
lIisvast property was beQueathcd in equal
shares to her children, the surviving
Mrs. Ward and the issue Of his second
marriage; but the latter have now ap-
piled to set IL aside on the ground that the
children by the first marriage arc insane.
There have been queer proceedings in the
court were the case is being tried. Medi.
ums have been going through their silly
performances and getting of their boshy
jargon on the witness stand, mud both the
Judge and counsel nie puzzled to know
what TO do with such extraordinary evil
tlence. II is perfectly well understood
now that Ward was mentally unsound,
but 1t is curious how with such vngaries
he could have achieved his great worldly
sncceas,
