The win of MRS. stewart.

Hampstead Inquirer: By her original
will, after giving legsciee to the Smith
family TO the amount of 81 200 900; 10
the Butler family OF $3OO,0O0; to her
three half sisters $40 900 EACH annually
during life,and to her brothef:Since dead
100000 annually, the residue was given
10 equal shares to Charles j /. Olinoh and
Henry Hilton.
Afterward. by codioiIs, she revoked
the devise to Hilton and turned il into 4
trust fund to build and complete and
endow the cathedral schools and build
inRs at Garden City.
share given Charles j. Clinch with his
sister, Sarah N. Smith, aud also left il
discretionary with Judge Hilton to use
the whole or any part.of the .half held in
trust by him to complete the cathedral
work, and any surplus to pay ii over to
the legatees and deYisees named in the
will.
These being the provisions OF the will
and codicils OF Mrs. O. nj. Stewart, and
which were by the general consent aad
concurrence OF ell tie heirs admitted to
probate on the 18th of November, 1885, II
is now claimed they shall be re.examined
and again probated upon the ge neral as
sertion OF one of the children OF de-
ceased half sister that Mrs. Stewart was
incompetent to make or understand her
will as executed by her; that she did not
comprehend the idea OF the cathedral
church and schools at Garden City; that
she was imposed upon in respect to
erecting and endowing the same by the
undue Influence and fraudulent conduct
OF Benry Hilton, and that the Same per-
son, by undue influence and fraud and
circumvention, induced her to make the
will which abe signed. ALI this, ii ia
claimed, was done, notwithstanding
Judge Hilton nor any member OF hia
family derive one dollar OF benefit from
the will and codlcils which he has thus
fradulently induced Mrs. Stewart to
make.
The half devised to him in truet is the
greatest legacy ever given in amount, at
least 30 far es ia known, to public and
charitable uses. Already some 50 900 0OC
have been expended by Mrs. Stewart al
Garden Uity, In the cathedral church
schools, and building now there, and the
share left to Judge Hilton in trust tc
complete this cathedral work, il ID
claimed, would to-day realize and pro
duce over So ,000. 600, of which the Judge
may appropriate the whole or any par
he may consider necessary TO complete
the system of buildings Mrs. Stewar
began. ANY surplus remaining, how
ever, he cannot control otherwise thar
by distributing it among the Iegeteos o.
Mrs. Stewart named in her will.

aHany Invitations 20 Dinner,

Washington, April 23-Suoh of the
republican senators as are not presiden-
fial candidates are enjoying hearty
laugh at the expense OF three OF their
members who are carefully nursing their
presidential boom. On Thursday last
ex-Gov. Routt, of Colorado, made his
appearance upon the floor of the senate.
In few minutes, it became noised
about that Gov. Routt was the chairman
OF the Colorado delegation to the Ohi-
cago convention. This was followed by
the report that the delegation being nm.
pledged, would probably vote as the
governor desired. then the fun began
Senator Allison, his grave, sednte face
beaming with universal kindness and
goodwill, sauntered over to the spoS
where the governor stood. After brief
conversation, MIR. Allison remarked an If
the suggestion had just occurred to h;m:
BY the way, Governor. come up and
dine informally with me this evening ]"
II thank you, senator" the governor
replied; "but have already accepted an
invitation for Tonight"

queries the Iowa statesman with af
fected unconoern.
Impossible. leave the city in the
morning"
The shade of disappointment which
oyerspread Mr.. Allison's face disappesr-
ed moment later, when Senator Cul-
iom, OF Illinois, who prides himself upon
his resemblance to Abraham Lincoln.

inquiries regarding the governors

Mr.. Cullom. blhndly, after salutstions
had been exchanged.
The governor politely declined. IA

added briefly. by wsy of explanation.
"Ah," said MIR. Cullom, turning TO.

stood the situation perfectly, and could
not help laughing at the little comedy
which was being enacted. alt was nos

The story spread, and after that Routt
received no more invitations TO dinner.

national convention. Il was the dem.
ocrstic intention TO secure action on the
Dill before the convention assemblies on

mad fulfilled its promises to reform the
tariff and reduce the surplus. This was

anxiety in administration circles. MIR.

cratic committee and is solid with several

tee on credentials settles questions of

such occasions. 1t will be better for

The following is bismarck special 70

the Sioux Falls Argus Leader:
Reports received here from Lawrence,
Lincoln, Edmunds, Turner. Hand
Stutsm,n, Sully, Cass, Douglas, Hyde
Brown and Beadle counties show that
they have selected delegates favorable
to the administration, and in most cases
have adopted resolutions endorsing
Church and Cleveland, There is talk OF
a contesting delegation from Douglas
but this is no new thing as this county
generally sends double header. The
governor is very much pleased at the
hearty endorsement OF his administration
that he is receiving over the territory,
and Days kickers are feeling corres-
pondingly down in the mouth.
1t is an interesting process to sepsrate
the truths from the untruths in the
foregoing. The counties OF Lawrence
Stutsman, Cass and Brown have moi
yet held their conventions, consequently
they have not selected delegates to the
Watertown convention for or against
Church. This reduces the column OF
counties quoted for Church from twelve
to eight. Oh these eight Edm unds sends
% divided delegation and Turner
Douglas and Beadie send con.
testing delegations. This eliminates
four more from the solid Church column,
leaving four of the original twelve
Lincoln, Hand, Sully and Hyde, with
an aggregate OF seventeen delegates
solid for Church. The Argus-Leade,
special IN its original form gives seventy
delegates solid for Church. The special
subjected to analysis develops but seven.
teen who are certain for Church. Pin
holes like shiH made In the administra-
tIon newspaper boom cause it to shrink
perceptibly. The fact is the delegates
SO far elected in the varioue counties are
very nearly equally divided between
Day and Church, with the chances To-
vorable to Church in the remaining
sixty counties, because every appointee
and expectant appointee is putting tine
and money into the contest in behalf O
the governor. Still Mr.. Day is makins
q good fight against these odds. Bu
Tor she active work OF federal appointee
and their subordinates Day would hay,
walk away among the democrats o
