The Sturgeon Leader volunteers
the following: The widow and
children of the late W. C. West, a
resident of Mexico, will contest his
will. That's the way 1t goes. When
a nan works hard and makes his
own money and asks that it be di-
vided In accordance with his wishes,
the relatives-his pretended loved
ones-jump up and declare the old
man insane. Law is a humbug any,
way. There is nothing in tex,

Some Disagreeable Things.

FROM the CnlCagO Tribune
1.-THE bitterest experience that
ONE are called upon to bear" re-
marked the tall athletic-looking young
person to her companions as they rode
up in the car, sis receiving the we'd
ding cards of a man who used to
swear that he'd rather be a bachelor
forever than marry any woman. Pm
sure it's the hardest thing inlife."
"Ah, no, it isn't" said the little
one, softly. "The hardest thing Is to
be engaged to man whom another
girl has rejected and to meet that
girls quizzlcal gaze"
"You are both wrong" said the
third girl. 1.-THE hardest thing on
earth is not to be engaged to some
other woman's cast-off adorer or to
know that your own cast-of one has
found consolation. It's to know that
there isn't on the face of the earth a
man who is either your active or your
ex-loyer.n

New York, Sept &c, The "lron
Agen says:
\ The question Of a supply of raw ma
terialogIs the one uppermost in the
minclB of the managers OF the largest
interests in the country. The coke
situation has improved The ore situa-
tion issssecidedly clearer, at least SO far
as foreign supplies are concerned.
The furry in Bessemer pig in Pitts
burg is now pretty well over. Alto
gether all the great concerns have con-
tinued'eager purchasers Of ore and pig,
and are evidently securing supplies as
far ahead as they can get them.
On a small business, the billet
market has gone off about 81 per ton
from the highest point, largely through
the Offering of small lots by brokers.
1t is not quite clear whether this
covers resales by large consumers, or
whether il is done fora temporary
effect. Wire rods have been quiet for
a considerable time.
In the East the most disquieting
feature has been the appearance OF a
large Pittsburg concern as a sharp
competitor for small lots, in the face
of recent protestations that the mills
were crowded with work for months to
come. One Eastern mill has also re-
appeared on the scene,
Taking it altogether the situation is
puzzling 1t has been difficult to un-
derstand where all the product turned
out goes to in the absence of good
railroad demand, and yet the interests
are scrambling for raw material. 1t
can only be explained by assuming that
important development in steel rails
are pending.
