That the sick may be comforted, nourished

That the sorrow may cease Of the signing

That the spirit bowed down may be lifted
and glad,
We pray thee, plying Lord.
That brother the hand OF his brother may
clasp
From ocean to ocean in friendliest grasp;
That for north and for south and for east
and for west
The horror of war be forever at rest,
We pray thee, plying Lord.

THERE WILL BE SWEARING.
Forty Witnesses Waiting for the
Stinson Will Case Trial.

The war between the heirs Of Matilda Stin-
son Smith will come to trial tomorrow
morning on the appeal from the judgment
rendered in the probate court. Charges of
fraud and bad faith recur repeatedly in the
complaint, and forty witnesses will be put
upon the stand during the trial Of the action.
Some time about April last three of the
children of the old lady applied to the pro-
bate court for guardian for her on the ale
CATION that she was of unsound mind. They
succeeded in their efforts so far as to have a
favorite brother-in-law appointed to that po-
sition. On April 6 they procured from her
a deed giving the property to them, and re-
Enforcing the same by q will also in their
favor. About six months after they ap-
piled for q discharge of the guardian on
the ground that the old lady had so far re-
covered her faculties that she was able to
take care of herself. AS the aged one was
at times unusually rational that prayer was
also granted, and things left with rather
cinch for the three bright children in posses
sion. The family are old residents the lady
being the former wife of the Stinson who
owned Stinson's addition and other large
and valuable properties These lands the old
lady had gradually fitted away until but
little over SIS, 900 worth of property re-
mains.

NO DIVORCES GRANTED,
But Two New Suits Filed In the
Clerks Office.

Yesterday was almost the first special term
day in the district court within the memory
of the Oldest inhabitaut that no divorce
cases were tried. In order to make up for
the threatened deficiency in the supply, two
new cases were filed. Annie E. Kempfer
has serious grievances against her husband,
Fred E. Kempfer. Although they have been
married long enough to have chill
dren, Mrs. Kempfer declares that
she can no longer consent to
to remain in the same house with her hus-
band. He is bad, cruel man, she says, who
has threatened her life. On that account she
wants divorce, the custody of her two chill
dren and permission to resume her maiden
name.
William c. Henion is the second complain
ant. His wifes name is Susanna, and. ac-
cording to her husband. she has behaved her
self in anything but wifely manner. Will
lam says that she has shown prediction
for the society Of other men, which penchant
has finally resulted in her deserving his bed
and board without just cause and provoca-
ton. Moreover, he asserts boldly that she is
now living in open adultery in the wicked
city of Superior with one Henry Blanken-
horne. Absolute divorce he demands.

The editress of the Woman's Penny

work together on the most friendly

the applicants for the position of gar

She made her selection and has since
openly declared that women make the

More Kicking.

Local architects are severely critieizing the
court house commission for allowing the
fire-proofing to be put in as the work on the
city and county building progresses instead
of waiting until the building is finished. W.
II. Dennis says that the fire. roofng, by
being put into the floors as soon as the walls
are built, will gather all the water and snow
that falls upon the building. This will leak
down and corrode the iron beams, creep into
the crevices and freeze and spoil the work.
1t will be knocked full of holes by falling
planks and the iron beams which are certain
to fall in that building as in every other. 1t
will be shaken loose by wheeling material
over it, and the chances are that it will have
to be taken out when the building is rea dy
for the finishing.
