Calhoun this morning Mrs. Caroline Mer-
ritt, wife of p. w. Merritt, made will
leaving to her husband good portion of
her property. which was considerable.
She made several bequests in favor
of relatives, but ignored her brother,
Il. w. Menlock, and he contested the will,
while another brother, j. G. Menlock,
wished TO have it admitted to probate. The
latter finally gained his point, but an ap-
peal will be taken. E. w. Menlock insists
that his sister was of unsound mind both
when she married and when the will was
executed, and for that reason both her will
and marriage are Illegal and void.
ANOTHER BROTHER TAKES A HAND.
Robert P. Menlock, another brother of
Mrs Merritt, to whom she bequeathed
$1,000, has filed bill in wbich he sets forth
that his sister was always considered a
lunatic and was not Of sound mind when
she married; that she was especially not of
sound mind on the subject Of marriage and
was always thinking some Methodist
preacher wanted to make her

the plaintiffs sister out for ride when she
didn't even know bis name. A few days
later Merritt and the plaintiffs sister we're
married. The plaintiff asks that the property
bs left to his disposal as trustee, his sister

state to keep place for the sale of intoxi-
eating liquors of any kind, either in orig
inal packages or otherwise, and that it was
the sworn duty of jurors to report to
the court by indictment any person charged
with keeping any such place, without regard
as to where such liquors came from. He
maintained that interstate commerce has
nothing to do with the question, and that
the keeping of place for the sale of liquors
is a nuisance, no matter how they are dealt

Narrow Escape from Fearful Loss of

KANSAS CITY, May ga serious wreck
occurred to-day at Shenfield, NO., at the
crossing of the Alton and Missouri Pacific
tracks there. The Missouri Pacific freight
train had the right Of way and was proceed
ing to the crossing when an Alton road
passenger train, bound from Chicago,
dashed into the crossing at speed
of forty miles an hour. The
Alton road engineer recognized the freight's
right of way, but his air brakes would not
work. The freight engine struck the passen-
ger train square in the middle, demolishing
one of the Pullman sleepers and ditching
the rest of the cars, which fell down an
embankment fifteen feet high. 1t is a
miracle that no one was killed. As it was,
only eight passengers were injured.

Friends of Senator Vest Of Missouri think
that that senator should have Senator
Beck's place on the finance committee, but
Mr.. Vest himself will, it is thought, propose
Mr.. Carlisle for it. If, under foolish ad-
herence to the senatorial traditions of pre-
cedence, any other man than Mr.. Carlisle
should be given this place, Mr.. Carlisle
would still be the democratic leader il the

is the best qualified.

Substitute.
WASHINGTON, May 22.-It is the present
intention of the members of the Senate
finance committee to report substitute for
the Mckinley tariff bill when their con-
sideration of that measure shall have been
completed. This course is deemed to be
better than to report the DILL as it came
from the House with amendments For
when it goes into conference there will be
but one question to settle, instead of a
myriad of differences upon points in detail.
This was the course pursued with the tariff
bill Of 1888, and it was found to result in
saving of time.
