Postmaster General Wanamaker has

long been recognized as one of the most
successful business men in the United
States. One Of his secrets he gives as
follows: Il never in my life used such q
thing as poster, or dodger, or hand
bill. My plan for fifteen years has been
to buy SO much space in a newspaper
and fill it up with what wanted. l
would not give an advertisement in a
newspaper of four hundred circulation
for 5000 dodgers or posters. If want
ed to sell cheap jewelry or run lottery
scheme I might use posters, but I would
not insult decent reading public with
hand bills"
The Northern Pacific has received
twenty new colonist sleepers which are
to be put in service on through trains
this month. They are models of beauty
from Barney & Smith, and contain many
improvements over colonist sleepers now
in use. Each car has fourteen sections,
with gentlemen's toilet room in one end
and ladies' room in the other. In one
end is the Baker fire. e-proof heater, which
heats the car by means of hot water con-
Quoted through pipes. In the opposite
end is wrought iron range surrounded
by good kitchen facilities. The car is
finished in ash, maple and butternut.
beautifully polished. The sections are
divided by sliding headboards, effecting
privacy not possible in those now in
use, where sections are separated by wire
netting. An ingenious arrangement of
the seats enables them to be extended
fiat or with head rest when prepared for
bedding, and each seat is provided with
box, in which can be stored bedding
or small baggage. In each section, also
is provided a table similar to those used
in Pullman cars. The ladies' toilet room
is supplied with marble top wash stand
and force pump, and the berths have

Died, at his residence near Pullman,
on Sunday morning, August IS, 1889,
F Z. FG...Tand, aged years: His
remains were inferred in tho cemetery
on Monday afternoon by the members of
the A. O. q. W. and friends. The
funeral services were conducted by the
Rev. Moter, of the Moscow NJ E. church.
The deceased was native of Illinois,
and when quite a young man emigrated
to Nebraska where he resided until NOV
ing to Pullman in 1882. He was taken
sick in the fall of 1888 with a cancer in
the abdomen which prostrated him on a
bed of suffering for about eight months,
or until death relieved him of his intense
pain. He was man beloved by all who
knew him, and to know him was to love
him for his upright, honest, manly
qualities. He carried with him all
through life an unblemished character,
and while death robs a wife and children
of the love and protection of kind, con-
siderate and loving husband and father,
and the community of one of its best
citizens, to him it was welcome change.
He knew there was no hope and patient
waited for the angel of death to end his
sufferings.
The idea seems to be prevalent that
if will is made no proceedings in the
probate court are necessary to settle the
estate Such, however, is not the case.
Almost the same proceedings must be
gone through as if there had been no
will; the difference consists in the divis-
ion of the estate If there is no will the
estate MUST be divided among the sur
viving husband, or wife, and the children,
and the children's portion invested and
kept for them by a guardian appointed
by the court, until they arrive at the
age of 81 years. Where the estate is
small this division renders the several
portions practically worthless, and es
pecially when the husband dies it leaves
the widow without the means OF susie
nance, as her portion may be too small
to keep her; but if will is made the
estate can be kept together. So if the
estate is small it is advisable to make a
will devising the entire estate to the
surviving husband or wife; but before
they can become legally possessed of the
estate the formalities of law must be
observed or the title will not be good.
The will must be probated, that is
proven to be the last will of the deceased,
and that it was duly made and executed.
Then the estate must be appraised to
! ascertain its value, which determines
creditors rights, and notice must be
given to creditors to present their claims.
At the expiration ct one year the debts
must be paid, and then by decree OF
the court the estate becomes the abso-
Lutte property of the legatee. S6ms say
that this is unnecessary "red tape, " bat
it is the only way by which all interest
ed parties may be protected and that the
intention of the deceased can be carried
