1929 u STREET,
LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 90. J
Some three weeks ago the will of Jonn Nc.
Allister, an aged resident Of this city. was
filed for probate In the county court. The
will left his property, valued Mt $780, 900, with
the exception Of several small bequests, TO
his brother Ephriam, aud appointed John S.
Gregory, an attorney of this city, who has
had charge of McAlliter's business for
years, trustee Of the estate, who was to give
the income to his brother for his personal
use. After Ephriam's death tho residue of
the estate was to bo divided, onc-half to 60
to Gregory's wifo and one. half TO be used by
Gregory rs a trust fund, the income TO be
distributed among the poor of the city.
This afternoon the will was up for probate
in the county court There was a paper
filed late this afternoon by some eight heirs
of McAllister who were ''lcft" in the will.
The petition sets up in brief that at the time
McAllistcr made the will he was insane and
mentally incapactated from doing so, that
for ten years he has been laboring under u
delusion that he could teach q theory oflogic
that would tend to give universal happiness
and that ne has offered to leave his property
to two or throe persons If they would embrace
his theory; that the instrument filed for pro-
bate is not the will Of McAllister, but doc
ument drawn up by Gregory, who induced
him to sign through fraud and undue iufiu-
ence; that the said Gregory took advantage
OF the insanity of the deceased. gained his
confidence, and induced him to sign.

A Verdict Against Harrison.

OF course popular disgust with repub-
hcan mismanagement of city affairs had
a good deal to do with the sweeping dem
ocratic victory in this city. The extrava-
gance and recklessness of the city coun-
Gil, the sscendancy OF corporation infu-
ences in that body, and the prostitution
of the fire department, the police depart
ment and the street department to the
service of a corrupt political gang, con-
tributed materially, no doubt, to the revo-
luton which seated a democrat in the
mayors chair for the first time in fifteen
years, and reversed the political status OF
the city legislature. Many republicans
placed the interests of the city above par
tisan considerations. and voted for SULLI-
vAs, SWIFT and the democratic nominees
for the council and board of aldermen.
But there were other causes which con-
tributed very largely to the republican
Waterloo, and the principal one was, in
our opinion, popular disgust-and more
especially republican disgust-with. the
Harrison administration. 1t was the first
opportunity the people OF Indianapolis
have had to express their opinion of the
administration, and they expressed it in
no uncertain tones. Many hundreds OF
republican voters remained away from
the polls yesterday, because OF indifer-
ence bred by the performances of
HARRISON and his cabinet. Hun
dreds more voted the democratic
ticket. The revelations that were
made last winter Of the wholesale brib-
cry by which. under the direction Of
DUDLEY, the electoral vote of Indiana
was secured for HARRISON; the scandalous
prostitution of the machinery of justice to
the protection of the miscreants who, un-
der DUDLEY's direction, bought "hcaters"
in blocks of fve;" the open counte-
nance given by the administration to the
Judge who thus perverted his functions in
the interest OF knaves and scoundrels; the

Ever since we can remember there has been
complaint of the imposition practiced by school
book publishers combined with teachers and
directors of schools in forcing upon the people
changes of books. Sometimes the mere prefer
ence of a new teacher FOR 4 certain series of
books has caused great expense and trouble to
the school patrons of whole neighborhOod.
The matter has been written about for years
end some remedy demanded. and now that
step has been taken in that direction by the
enactment of law regulating it. the people
should not let party prejudice induce them to
give it snap judgment but they should give it a
fair test, and ii the system is defective. as all
new movements are liable to be, its defects
when discovered can easily be remedied here

The Australian System in Massa-

chuSetts.
THE first test of the Australian ballot
system, in an American state election, will
be made in Massachusetts, next month.
A systematic effort is making to enlighten
the people as to the operations of the law.
Thousands of copies of the statute have
been furnished by the secretary OF state to
inquiring town officers and politicians,
and the ballot reform league, a non-parui
san organization, has sent out large
number of explanatory documents. The
democratic state committee has sent to
every democratic town and county chair
man, circular explaining the methods of
the law, together with sample ballots, to
be used for the instruction of voters.
The circulars says:
The circulation among democratic voters OF
sample ballots, such as those sent herewith,
will be the most effective way OF enlightening
them 10 the essential feature of the new
method of voting. All that a person who
wishes 10 vote for the regular democratic ticket
has 10 do is TO make cross opposite every can
didate whose name is followed by the word
democratic" Any contest as to the regular
ity OF nomination claiming to be made on be-
half of the democratic party is to be decided
the secretary OF state, the encouragement and
the auditor. Immediate notice OF any such
contest should be sent to this committee.
The board of aldermen of Boston has
authorized the construction of sixty vot-
ing booths for the election. These booths
will, it is said, cost about $3.50 each, but
they can be taken down and used in fu-
ture elections. They will be about twenty
four feet long and eighteen broad. The
law says that besides the officers, mot
more than four voters in excess of the
number of voting shelves or compartments
provided shall be allowed in said incosed
space at one time" The others must re-
main outside awaiting their turn.
The results OF the experiment in Massa-
chusetts will be awaited with interest by
the entire country.

and the mortgage-ridden farmer abandons
the struggle.
The same story is told in all the states
east of the Mississippi river. Here in In
diana, as in Illinois and Michigan, the
average value of farming land has been
steadily declining of recent years.
The farmers will not forever be blind to
the significance of these facts. They will
see that the tariff is not only destructive
to their interests as exporters, as Protec-
ZIONIST HosKINs frankly tells them, but
that the good and handy home market"
which they have been taxing themselves
so heavily to secure, does not bring them
good prices for their products nor prevent
the depreciation of their land.

was committed, when first entered, presented
terrible sight In little bedroom about
six by eight feet, lay the murdered woman.
An ugly wound in her face told the cause
of her death. She lay on her back,
if quietly sleeping, and undoubtedly never
realized what had happened to her.
Even the bed Clothes though saturated with
blood from the wound, were not disturbed.
After killing his mother the murderer must
have walked TO a table near by and hastily
scrubbed the following admission of his guilt
on three separate pieces of brown paper, as
they were found in his vest pocket this morn.

NEW HOME TREATMENT.

Sufferers are not generally aware that these
diseases are contagious, or that they are due TO
the presence of living parasites in the lining
membrane of the nose and eustachian tubes.
Microscopic research, however, has proved this
to be a fact, and the result is that simple
remedy has been formulated whereby these
distressing diseases are rapidly and perman-

Ex-senator BRUCE, probably the ablest
colored man in the country, says that the
negroes in the South are not advancing,
and that there is nothing left for them but
to scatter. He adds: "The West is great
and prosperous portion of our country,
and thousands upon thousands of colored
people could find employment there at
fair wages" We think Mr.. BRUcE's sug-
gestion is a good one. If the negroes can
not make progress in the South, let them
emigrate TO Kansas, Nebraska, the Da-
kotas, Iowa and Minnesota. These states
are all reliably republican," and, of
course, they will be glad to receive the
southern negroes, and the more OF them
come the better they will like it. Mr.
BRUCE is on the right track.

HERE are a couple of gems from the
speeches at the recent Massachusetts, dem
ocratic state convention. Mr. MATTHEWS,
the chairman, said, in the course of his
remarks:
The republican party has outlived its useful
ness and is incompetent to settle the problems
of the time; it is owned by corporations, wealth
and lobbles; il stole the presidency once and
bought it twelve years later; it has nothing to
offer the people but subsidies, Blair bills, high
tariffs and more restraints on commerce; its
policy, If continued, will hand this country over
to monopolies first, to socialism next
The aim OF democracy, on the other hand, is
70 secure for labor greater rewards and to in
crease the opportunities for industry and trade.
Having held our own with foreign nations on
the field OF battle, we need not fear the peace
ful rivalry OF friendly commerce. Free raw
materials; free coal and wool andiron and lum-
Der; wider markets for the products of Ameri-
can labor and American ships to carry them in;
and freer commercial relations with all the ne
tons of the eartb-these things will benefit the
whole people of this country; they are essential
to the continued prosperity of the New England
states; and they will not be had until the demo.
cratic party is restored to power.
Ex-Congressman john i. RUSSELL mot
the nominee for governor) said in the
peroration of his eloquent speech:
CLEVELAND and HARRISON! They fifty rep.
resent the principles and purposes OF their
respective parties. Between them there is a
difference as great as between courage and
timidity, patriotism and policy. progress and
stagnation, the living principles of a living
party and the Lfeless faith of party that
dwellS only on the past; between people S
president, fighting the peoples cause, serving
them and them only, and a party president,
who hears the voice only of the politicians.
