STEVE BARKER.
A WAR OF LITIGATION OVER HIS
ESTATE.

An Attempt to Have Mrs. Barker's
VIII Set notwithstanding Facts
CONCERNING an Estate of Enor-
mOus Value.
Eliza Barnes, formerly Eliza Barker, the
eldest daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Stephen
Barker, has recently commenced proceed
ings in the superior court of this county to
have the will Of her mother Cancelled. This
is the beginning Of Important litigation
over one Of the largest estates in this city,
aggregating something like 100000. Mr..
and Mrs, Barker died several years ago.
They were we'll known here to all the old
settlers, and 'fSteve, y as be was familiarly
called, was strange character. He came
from an excellent family and his parents
gave him thoroughly classical education.
He was a genius in many ways, but his in
tellect seemed to feed largely on the art
istic and his painting always attracted at
tention. Those now in "The Holton" fur
nish proof that he was an artist. Coming
here in the early history of Olympia, he
engaged in the saloon business. In the
early '7O's he married in this city and there
are now living five children from such mar
riage. Together they accumulated consid-
cradle property in and around Olympia,
which has become very valuable.
In May, 1855, less than thirty days after
giving birth to the youngest child, Mrs.
Barker died In November, 1888, she
made her last will and testament, whereby
she willed all her worldly interests to her
husband, ITO the exclusion of every one
who may or might be entitled to the same
and to him and his heirs and assigns for,
ever and made her husband herexecutor
This will was probated but no letters were
ever issued thereon to any one. In Jan
uary, 1876, Steve Barker died, leaving by
will all his property to his children, and
nominating Dan Mcdonald, Of this
city, his executor, who thereaf
ter qualified as such executor
but in February. 1887, his failing health
caused him to surrender his trust, and f
A, Hoffman was appointed administrator
with the will annexed and has been eve
since, and is now in charge Of the whole
of the estate.
The income of this estate is now nearly
$4,000 per year, and includes some of tht
best business property in Olympia. 1t is
understood that Mr.. Holman and Other
interested parties will oppose these proceed
lngs IN every way possible. Counsel TO
Eliza Barnes claims that Mrs. Barker ha(
no lawful right to will more than one-hal
OF her property and that Notwithstanding
their mothers will they have a right Il
one.halt OF her interest. Width the excep

Of the Governor a reinstatement il
the coveted position. This the Gov
ernOr declined to do, and the Gener
al's subsequent action has proved
as conclusively as any language he
could possibly have used, that the de-
mand was made as the price of his
services-a compensation for services
rendered. A change came DER the
spirit Of his dreams, and from that
hour revenge has seemed to be the
ruling spirit of his nature. And his
revenge was to be very broad and
sweeping in its object. The punish
ment of the principal offender. Gov.
Merriam, would not satisfy the Of
Tended general. The whole party
which had so often hOnored and re-
warded his past services must be made
to feel the weight of his anger. He

publican rule" The intention was
good for their purpose. but fortunate
ly for the State the careful and able
financial managers of the Republican
party had so firmly established its
credit that no amount of calamity
bowling could affect it. His only re-
ward for his first two years vengeance
seeking, was the nomination for con-
gress by the Donnelly wing of the de-
mocracy, the straight-outs refusing
an endorsement. Since then he has
boxed the compass, circumnavigated
the political world and lured by the
dim beacon of a nomination to the
legislature from Blue Earth Co. he has
finally run ibis barge into the Demo
cratichaven to receive the welcome so
cordially extended by the democracy

declared the war for the preservation
of the Union, in which the General
had part, failure, have never fail
ed to show their appreciation. Yes,

associations are fairly and finally sew

PUBLIC BUILDING PLANS.

The plans for the first floor of the
public building are in the hands OF
the experimenting architect, Mr.. f
Thayer. According to them the fiool
space of the new postoffice will be f..
499 square feet, while that of tha
present building is 3,2434 feet. The
northwest corner of the building will
be set off as stairway while the post
masters private office 14x12 feet, will
be at the left upon going in at the
Jackson street entrance.
The new postoffice will have an in
crease of space over the present one
of fifty per cent. The new quarters
will be IA by IS feet, and the first
story will be seventeen feet between
the floors.
Both the Jackson and Second street
entrances will have vestibules and
enter into the lobby. There will be
IS lineal feet Of cases for private and
call boxes. There will be two vaults,
one 4:6X6:4, and the other SAKE.
The building will face Second
street. The floor on the Second street
side will be feet one inch above the
street level, and on the Jackson street
side three feet ten inches. Easy steps
will lead up, there being seven on the
Second street side.
The specifications call for Ameri-
can Portland cement of not less than
300 pounds tensile strength for part
of the work, but it is likely that Man
katO cement can be used on the re-
mainder. The walls are to be of lime
stone, and some Of the trimmings of
granite. From haSty reading of the
specifications there does not appear
to be any reason why Mankato mate
rial may not enter almost altogether
into the construction of the building.
1t is to be fire proof structure and
will be built most substantially. Ow-
ing to the fact that there is much
ironwork to be made, which will re-
quire some time, the work can proba-
bly, not be done this fall.

dress to the Peoples party at the ope-
ra house Oct. 18th.

WHERE WORK is NEEDED.

The Democrats have no show what
ever of electing their State ticket
and while they will, as matter O
course, continue to go through thu
motions of working for it, their great
est efforts will be directed toward
the legislature. They will endeavol
to eject enough members of their own
party, if possible, and if not, enough
in connection with the Peoples par.
ty to put the Republicans in the mi
nority and so defeat the reelection
of Senator Davis. Here is the point
in the battlefield that should be close
ly watched and the legislative tickets
given that hearty support they de-
serve, This does not mean that the
campaign in any other direction need
in any way be slackened, only that a
little more energy be devoted in this
particular line.
In their attempt to secure the next
legislature the Democrats are strain
ing every nerve, and working every
string. They have tried to stir up
detection in the Republican ranks by
circulating reports that it was not
the intention to re-elect Senator Da-
Wis even though there should be Re
publican majority in the next legisla-
ture. But the fact that the State
convention made the Senator the Re-
publican candidate by demanding his
reelection, and that this has been
followed up by local conventions de-
handing Of their legislative nominees
that they vote for his reelection,
gives the lie to these assertions.
Important as it is that a Repubii-
can legislature should be elected so
that Republican Senator may be
continued to represent the best inter-
ests of this state for the next six
years, there are reasons in the line of
legislation why the Republicans
should have majority. The surren-
der OF the leadership of the Democ-
racy of Minnesota to the wheat gam
piers or Chicago, bodies no good to the
future welfare of the state could that
party obtain control of the state gov
eminent. Two years ago the Demo-
Alliance combine refused any legisla-
tion that would be of practical value
TO the farmers of the state, and there
is no evidence to show that they
would do differently again. They in
creased the expenses of the state over
those of previous Republican legisla-
lures and the bad company into which
Democracy has fallen augurs no good
for the future. That party is sailing
under false pretenses and with the
plratlcal flag Of the Chicago wheat
gamblers floating over it has forfeit
ed all claims upon the good citizens
Of the state.

THE FINAL FLOP.
EDITOR FREE Press

EDITOR FREE Press
The great and good man, Gen. Ba-
ker, an old-time republican, begin
ming with the Republican party in
1858 as Secretary of State, and hold
ing office, civil or military, under Re-
publican administrations, State or
National, three-fourths of the time
since, has exhibited some singular and
singularly queer traits of character or
characteristic traits of queer char
acter, for the past three or four years.
Up to that time the Republicans
had never asked the General to ac-
cept any less honorable or remunera-
tive position than Secretary of State,
and all but three years of the time
very much more lucrative and promi-
nent positions. AS one of the glib
tongued orators of the times his clar-
Ion voice often rang out in eloquent
defense of the grand principles of the
party of which he was prominent
and hOnored member. How eloquent
ly he eulogized their devotion to lib
erty and union. What a wide con-
trast between the glowing, fiery,
heart-thrilling eulogies of Gen. James
ii. Baker upon the wisdom, patriot
ism, love of country and devotion to
the Union of the old fathers, and his
bitter, whitening and blighting de-
nunciations of the rebel democracy,
who in National convention declared
the war for the Union a failure, and
demanded peace at any price. Who
In Minnesota has not listened to the
fervid eloquence with which Gen. Jas.
ID. Baker portrayed the prosperous
condition of the nation under Repub-
l1can rule? Who that listened to the
scathing expose of the financial imbe-
clllty and national treason that char
acteriZed the four years al-admin-
istration of James Buchanan, could
ever have dreamed it possible that
Gen. Baker would now be shouting
follower of the Democratic candi-
date who claims that most infa-
nous, disgraceful administration as
part Of the golden era of national
prosperity? Even up to the first cleo
tion of Merriam as Governor of Min
nesota, Gen. Bakers eloquent voice
was among the clearest in advocacy
of the Republican party, it's princi-
pies and candidates. And pobably
contributed his share to the party
success of the campaign.
But Gen. Baker was then out of Of
fee. One more fortunate than him
self had secured lucrative and desi-
rable position which the General had
held, knew and appreciated its value

AS SEEN BY OTHERS.

The Minneapolis Journal has been
looking over the political situation in
the Second congressional district and
finds the prospects very fiattering for
the Republicans. In it's issue of Sat.
urday, October Sth, it gives the fol-
lowing review of the field:
The Second congressional district is
reliably in the Republican column
and may be depended upon to roll up
an old time majority one month from
today. Two years ago it was the only
district sending Republican to con-
gress, though the stalWart majorities
OF former years were nearly wiped out.
The circumstances of the fight this
year, however, are entirelydifferent, and
every change noted is in favor of the
Republican candidate, Prof. James T.
McCleary. Two years ago there was
the feeling OF hostility toward certain
features of the Mckinley bill which
was at that time so general over the
country, and as this is purely an agri-
cultural district, the distrust of the
tariff bill was the more deeply rooted
among the masses. The Democrats
and Alliance united upon Gen. j. HI.
Baker, than whom there are few better
campaigners, and who left no stone
unturned to secure an election. Then
again, the Prohibitionists put up
candidate who pulled 1000 votes from
the Republican ranks. There was al
so much disatfection at the renomina-
ton of Merriam. In spite of all these
opposing circumstances, John Lind
was re elected.
Today everything is changed. The
farmers are satisfied as a rule with
the tariff plank in the platform, and
on top OF this they have had two
splendid crops in succession. The
Democrats and Populists each have a
candidate for congress, while there is
no Prohibition candidate There sis
no disaffection over Nelson's candi-
dacy, and he is "a source of strength
to the entire#ticket. There is per.
feet harmony in the ranks of the Re
publicanS, and the gentlemen who
sought the nomination with Prof. Nc
Cleary are loyalty supporting him.
But there is another circumstance
which would of itself insure the cleo
ton Of the Republican candidate.
Since the last election three Demo-
cratic counties have been taken from
the district and one Republican coun-
ty added.
In 1890 the vote in the district as at
present constituted was as follows.
