The hospital bill passed by the state

the hospital, then the council can extend
Especial tax for hospital purposes not to
exceed two mills per annum.
This. the Dispatch argues, would make
available the first year about $1,000 in
Moline alone, or something over $1,000
should the two cities unite in a Joint
institution on the city line. Either sum
would be insufficient to erect hospital
at once, though an arrangement might
be made to pay the cost in yearly install

putting the institution or its feet
from the first, as was done with our pub
lie library.
The provision that the vote on the
question must be at municipal or gen,
eral election makes it impossible to take
any action before next spring; though it
would not be amiss TO take preliminary
action before that time. Indeed the Sc
curing of some liberal pledges toward the
purchase of site and the erection of a
hospital would doubtless have a healthy
effect on the election on this question
when held. Of course the need o. such
an institution is pretty generally con-
ceded-especially in CITY like Moline
where we have so many shops where &C

workmen are liable to find themselves i'll
and in need of medical attendance and
expert nursing such as cannot always be
secured in boarding houses. When once
submitted to q vote the scheme will doubt
less carry; but with such pledges made in
advance as we have suggested, there
would certainly be greater enthusiasm and
greater unsnimity on the question.

BANGOR, July 1.-THE last will and testa-
ment Of the late ex-Vice President Hamlin
has been filed for probate The document is
a very short one, and in the familiar hand
writing of the dead statesman. The will
shows an utter lack Of the mass of legal
phrases contained by some documents Of the
kind and is characteristic Of Mr.. HamlIn.
1t was made while he was serving his last
term in the United States Senate, and there
have been no codicils adden since it was first
dated. The people generally will be inter-
ested In the provisions of the will, which
are as follows:
To Ellen V. Hamin, his wife, he bequeaths
his homestead, estate, house and lot, tOgeth-
er with all the personal property He also
gives to her the sum of $4,000, and 1t is the
wish of Mr.. Hamlin that whatever estate his
wife may possess shall be finally given
equally to the three sons.
To his son Charles Hamlin he gives the
portraits of his father and mother and his
brother Cyrus, with the condition that the
widow has the right to keep them as long as
she desires, or until death. The gold-headed
came made from the ship Constitution also
goes to his son.
Hannibal Emery HamliD, his son, receives
the sum Of $1,000; also the ebony, gold
headed cane and silver pitcher given by Ray
Tompkins to the deceased.
10 FRANK damlln he gives $ 1000, his watch
and key and seal, together with an ivory
headed cane made from a stick from the
birthplace of Washington.
10 Arthur Hamlin, his grandson, he be-
queaths the sum of $1,000.
The balance of the estate, which is esti-
mated at about 100000, will be divided
equally between his wife and three sons.
Mr.. Hamlin names Isaiah Stetson and
samuel L. humphrey, or the survivor, as
residuary trustees and executors. He names
Charles Hamlin and Mr.. Humphrey as trus-
tees to hold any sum or property which on
distribution may be due any minor. No
bonds are required.
