There was no will left by the late Amos
J. Smell, who was mysteriously murdered
at his residence, No. 425 Washington
boulevard, on the night of Feb. 8. Mrs.
Henrietta Smell, the widow, accompanied
by her daughter, Mrs. Grace S. Gotta,
entered the probate court yesterday with
Lawyer Frank J. Crawford. Both were
dressed in deep mourning. Mrs. SHELL
signed q petition asking that letters Of
administration be granted to her and to
her son-in-law, Albert J.Stone. The lat
ter accepted the appointment and con-
sented to act jointly with Mrs. SHELL as
administration. A bond 10 500, 900, with
Lazarus Silverman, the banker, and AL
derman John J. Badenoch, as sureties,
which was approved without questions,
was given. The petition states that de-
ceased left personal property, consisting
OF household goods, horses and other stock
goods, chattels, money in bank, notes,
checks, bonds and securities, and fran
chise pertaining to toll road, all of the
value of $4,000, and real estate not to

surviving az his only heirs-at-law the
widow, Henrietta Smell; Albert j. Smell,
son, and Mrs. Grace S. Coffin. Mrs.

uted according to law. The widow re-
ceives one-third of the entire personal

ute clerk of the probate court; Bailiff

Curtis. They will Immediately proceed
to make an inventory of the personal
property contained in the homestead.

innate of the estate is only about fourth
of the property held by the Smell family.
He stated that about four years ago Mr..
Smell decided to his wife property amount
ing to nearly $3,000,G00. This makes a

Wisconsin State Prison.

The commission consisting of Senator
G. K. Erwin and Assemblymen @. Il.
Field, of this city, and G. E. Hooker, Of
Waupun, appointed by the last legisla-
ture to visit the leading penal institutions
10 the United States and report 70 the
next Legislature ~ to the bes. method of
employing ccnvicts in the Wisconsin state
prison, has completed it's labors. All the
more important prisons and reformatory
houses 10 the North and East were visit
cd, and the results of the investigation
are embodied in q report TO the governor.
After thorough examination in all the
d stails, the committee states that there
can be no doubt that the contract system
is the best to be employed 10 prisons;
from the financial standpoint, unques-
tionably it 10 far superior to all others
paying best for the taxpayers and being
the least competitive. The committee
finds that it is also the best from the
moral standpoint, as the officers of the
state stand between the contractors and
the convicts to see that the latter are not
made to do more work than 10 proper, and
that no coercion is employed by the con-
tractors or their employees toward the con-
victs; while under the other systems it Ia
the primary object of the warden and the
prison officers to make the convicts do all
the work possible so as 10 bring out the
best results, to the end that the years
work will show good management.

Gen. p. n. Sheridan's Birthplace.


Gen. p. n. Sheridan's Birthplace.
Gen. Philip Fl. Sh eridan's name hav-
ing been mentioned in connection with
the Republican nomination for president,
more than ordinary interest throughout
the country has been centered upon him
within the past few weeks, and among
other things controversy has sprung up
regarding his place of birth. Most OF his
biographers give his birthplace as Somer-
set, O., where his mother now lives on
the old homestead, while others, and the
general among them, claim Albany, N.
Y, as his place of nativity, and to still
further complicate matters relative in
Milwaukee makes the announcement that
Gen. Sheridan was born in Ireland. Our
townsman, Thomas McCabe, of the Fourth
ward, 10 a cousin of Gen. Sheridan, Mr..
Ms mother and Gen. Sheridan's father
being sister and brother. Mr.. Ms recol-
lection is that the general was born in
Somerset, O., although not being positive
on this point, the claim that Sheridan
makes that Albany is his birthplace may
be correct, but as to Sheridan having
been born in Ireland, be knows there is
no evidence to base such report upon.
Gen. Sheridan's oldest brother, Patrick,
whom Mr.. M. we'll knew, was born in Ire
land, but the rest of the children are ma
tives of the United States. The Sheri-
dan family emigrated from the county
Cavan, Ireland, in 1929, eleven years be-
fore the McCabs family came to America.
The families have not mingled much to-
gether, being widely separated, and, of
! course, it is not easy to recall matters with
clearness that havesoccurred many years
before, but as to the American nativity of
Gen. Sheridan Mr.. NJ. says there can be
no question.

New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1888-12-19

Situated as the United States is be-
tween two vast and growing dominions.
with its interests closely allied to
them and continually strengthening its
commercial relations between them, it
is but a question of time as to its poll
teal influence becoming a controlling
one in these countries. Mexico on the
one and Canada on the other side have
gradually opened their fields for United
States immigration and enterprise, and
to-day, with transportation facilities
extending from the great common
wealths of the States into the heart of
their northern and southern neighbors,
continued and growing communication
is fostered to the benefit of all concerned.
Capital has united to bring these
countries together into close union, and
considering the prosperity enjoyed by
US through our republican institutions,
the power and richness gained through
them. We set a glowing example to our
neighbors, whose every interests, ex-
cept political, are identical with ours.
Mexico has prospered since it sue
ceeded in throwing off the hindering
yoke of monarchial Spain, and its form
of government to-day closely resembles
our own. Canada under the influence
of its mother country, not developing
in accordance with unfettered progress,
and burdened with debt OF $500, Q0C, 900
begins to recognize that its future great
ness depends on its annexation by the
United States. Unless the commercial
relations between both countries are
allowed freest development, are gov
erned by the same laws not conflicting
but equally protective, continued diff
entities viii arise. Proof OF this was
given US in the fishery troubles, which
were regarded by some over excited as
not 10 be settled except by war. and
similar circumstances are inevitable in
the future, AS commercial contact is a
necessity. But although this problem
is one receiving at present newly direct
ed attention, since Representative But
terworth has openly talked of it in Con-
gress, the time is not as yet on hand to
cause Canada to yield to our wishes.
