CANNOT DIVIDE THE ESTATE.
Decision at New York in the Fayer-
weather Will Case.

New YORK, July 29.-Surrogate Ran
som denied the motion yesterday of the
executors Of Daniel B. Fayerweather
for distribution of the residue of the
estate, amounting to about $4,000, 900,
according to the will and deed of gift
Of the executors. The surrogate de-
cides that he has no power to pass on
the validity of the releases of Mrs.
Fayerweather and the two heirs. He
says that the action of the five colleges
interested to determine whether there
is a trust is fatal to the motion.

A Pleasant Wedding.

Rev. w. M. Balch, Of Prairie du

church, in this city, at one o'clock on
Tuesday afternoon, by Rev. M. B.
Balch, father of the groom, assisted by
Rev. f. w. Straw and Rev. S. r.
Chubb. The church was tastefully be-
decked with flowers, and the ceremony
was performed beneath large and
beautiful floral bell. Many friends
were present to witness the marriage
and to tender congratulations. Miss
Edith Eden of this city was bride
maid, and Mr.. A. L. Sawyer, of Colum-
bus, was best man; and the ushers were
Mr.. John F. Hendra and Mr.. Thomas
Prisk. The presents were numerous
and elegant. The young couple are
highly esteemed in Mineral Point
The groom won very many friends
during his brief ministry here last
year; and the bride graduated with
honors with the class of '93 from the
Mineral Point high school, and is very
highly esteemed by her schoolmates,
teachers, and others. From the church
they went to the depot, and took the
two o'clock train for Monroe, where
reception was held at the home of
DR.. Monroe, grandfather Of the groom.
They will also visit with friends at
Madison, and attend the worlds fair,
at Chicago; and will be at home at the

DARLINGTON.

To The Iowa County Democrat
Judge Clementson finished the jury
calendar last Friday, and adjourned
court until Wednesday Of this week.
He is now holding court in Racine,
and Judge Fish of that circuit is here
to preside at the trial of the contest
between J. C. Oates and J. D. Jones,
as to the election to the Office of clerk
of the circuit court here last fall. Mr..
Jones was counted in by a majority of
one, the canvassers throwing out four
votes which were regular in every re-
spect except that they bore the endors-
ment of only one ballot clerk, the law
requiring endorsement by two. These
four ballots were all cast for Mr.. Oates,
who claimed that they should be
counted, and refused to surrender the
office. This action is by mandamus,
brought by the State on relation of
Mr.. Jones, to compel the surrender to
him of the office; and comes up at
this time on demurrer to Mr.. Jones s
answer. It was argued today (Wed-
nesday), by ]. w. Murphy, of Platte
vile, for the relator, and P. A. Orton,
of Darlington, for the defendant.
Judge Fish reserved his decision, to be
announced in few days.

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN.
For the week ending Tuesday, June
.27th, 1898.

For the week ending Tuesday, June
..27th, 1898.
By Willis Moore, Forecast Official, Mil.
The temperature has been consider
able above the normal during the past
week. Beneficial showers were re-
eeived but more rain is needed, espec-
tally in the north half of the state.
The high temperatures have brought
corn forward rapidly and it now
stands strong and clean. and up to the
average of previous years, except in
some late or replanted fields. Potato
es also are doing well, although bugs
are quite numerous. AT this writing,
with full acreage and good stand,
these two crops promise an excellent
yield. In fact, at this time there are
no discouraging prospects in regard to
any crop grown in Wisconsin. But
the season is too early to say that no
disasters will come later.
Winter wheat will be ready to cut in
about two weeks and good yield is
assured. Oats, rye, barley, and spring
wheat give fair promise.
After the fine showers of Tuesday
and Wednesday of last week much to-
bacco has been planted, some by hand
and some by machine. About two
thirds of the planting has been done.
Cranberry v'n"s ar" in bloom and in
good condition, but the water in the
marshes is getting low, and rain
would be beneficial.
