A SON, NOT A NEPHEW.
Edward rlcrIahon Wants What Is
Left of the Bensley Estate.

An old suit was revived yesterday by
the filing of claim against the estate of
Marian L. J. Bensley, deceased. The
claim is brought by Edward A.
McMahon against B. G. Chandos, Sarah
Hardesty and other heirs.
Until four months ago Mcmahon
thought he was a nephew Of Mrs.
Bensley, but he now declares that he
is the son of the deceased lady, and for
this reason he wants a good portion of
the estate. His mother had always
kept the knowledge from him, although
she alway acted as a mother to him,
attended to his wants during childhood
and educated him.
He further charges the defendants
with knowing who he really was. and
with keeping the knowledge from him
for the purpose of perpetrating fraud
in the distribution of the estate.
Several years ago the estate occupied
the attention of the United States
courts. When Bensley died he left all
of his estate to his wife. 1t was heavily
incumbered, and the creditors fought
hard to protect themselves. A COM
promise was effected, but there was a
large portion left to the heir. Mcmahon
now asks to be declared sole owner OF
all GIdG uIu HOG 70 W IHe CI6ulCOIS.
The property involved in the contest
is valued at about 100000. 1t com
prises the greater portion of that part
of the Potrero bounded by Mission Bay
on the north, Kentucky street on the
east, Napa street on the South and
| POtrero on the west.
The above item is taken from the San
Francisco Examiner of April 18th.
Mr.. Chandos is in Topeka, Kansas, at
this writing, but we understand that he
has affidavits in his possession proving
the relationship of Edward A. Nc
Mahon. He is not Mrs. Bensley's son
and the above report is circulated
simply as an attempt to cloud the title
of certain property belonging to the
estate.

Change of Dentists.

DR.. Frank r. Houston has disposed
Of his dental business to DR.. Russell
Lyon and the latter will be here Mon
day to take charge Of it. DR.. Houston
in June last year, after just having
graduated from the Chicago College of
Dental Surgery, opened an office in the
Patf Block, Third street, and since that
time acquired an excellent practice
But some time ago he had flattering
offer as assistant in one of Chicago s
leading dental institutions and finally
concluded to accept it. He is a young
gentleman of good business ability
skilled in his profession, and has many
friends in Wausau who are sorry to see
him leave, but who hope his ambition
may be realized and that he may some
day reach the pinnacle of success.
DR.. Lyon, who succeeds him, is too
we'll known in Wausau to need any
introduction. He is also graduate OF
the Chicago College of Dental Surgery
and comes from there with the best OF
recommendations. He will no doubt
be accorded the liberal patronage his
predecessor had worked up.-Wausau

thing for convenience, and very beauti-
full. One cannot help feeling at home
when they once enter. 1t contains a
large library, with large stock of books
to which volume after volume is being
added, for the use Of the students.
For the use Of these books the normal
students pay the small amount Of $500
as rent The rent is less for preparatory
and still less for model students. The
books just now are being indexed by an
expert librarian, so that students can
find in few moments time what they
want. There is also a large reading
room, we'll supplied with daily, weekly
and monthly papers, also large variety
of magazines for the use Of students.
But there is yet something which
attracts some young people even more
than these and that is the gymnasium.
This is large room, occupying part of
the basement and extends upwards
through the second floor; being 70 feet

Stevens Point Normal School.

As our young people strive more
every year to get an education to pre-
pare themselves to become successful
teachers, and as the state does its part
in securing proper places and proper
buildings, I think it is not more than
fair that we should appreciate its work.
When in 1894 the sixth state normal
school was built the people of Portage
county did all in their power to get it
here at Stevens Point, and we ought to
be thankful towards them that it is so
near home. I've heard people say,
that if they wanted a good education
they would not start in, in small state
normal school, but 60 to some private
institution, or some other large state
normal school Of some other state.
Now l would just like to say to those
people; just come ere you decide and
visit our normal school at Stevens
Point. A student has all the chances
III the world to get an education in our
school, if he but will l repeat, before
you go anywhere else, come and see US.
The school building is located on Main
street near the Fair grounds It is a
most beautiful building. AS you pass
inside it is astonishing to see the way in
which everything is arranged, every

About an Old Resident.

Our brother Paul will probably not
thank US for re-publishing the following
item about him, taken from the Sunday
Minneapolis Times Of May 18th, but we
do SO to give him away in his political
doings. He used to be a most ardent
Republican:
Paul Fontaine is another printer who
has gone forth to preach the light among
his fellow men. Mr.. Fontaine can
hardly be classed as labor leader. In
fact, there are quite number Of things
IN the gospel Of the average labor leader
which that gentleman cannot indorse
While he is in sympathy with trades
unions, there are some points upon
which he and the orthodox trades
unionist would not agree. He believes
trades organizations and all that, should
take political action. He believed the
knights of Labor, in this latter respect,
was on the right road, and he affiliated
with Local Assembly $50. sometimes
it looks to me-" said Mr.. Fontaine to a
Times reporter, '.as If these labor orga-
nizations, in their political neutrality
were not accomplishing much for the
benefit Of their members, or for man
kind in general They really work to
cut off their own success. [ do not
believe that one element of working
people should antagonize another. j"
Mr.. FOntaine is an enthusiastic Peoples
Party man. He indorses all there is in
the Omaha platform, and is particularly
in favor Of the proposition to have the
| government own the telegraph and
railroads. He also believes in state and
municipal ownership Of certain public
services, like street railways, gas, ETC.
Mr.. Fontaine came to Minneapolis
| about nine years ago. He had learned
the printers trade on the ''Wood
County Reporter" published at Grand
Rapids, Wis, by his brother. He
engaged in the real estate business, and
on the side paid good deal of attention
to social and economic matters. He
read extensively, and, having good
memory, and as good use Of language,
developed into considerable of a speech
maker Like a good many we'll meaning
men, he generally speaks too long,
although it must be said he is able to
keep his audience. He introduces some
new ideas and illustrations, and his
manner is that Of a man who is not
talking simply for effect, but rather
that Of q man who believes what he
says. Altogether, his talks are meatv.
and with a little more practice he Will
be one of the most interesting Peoples
Party speakers in this section of the
country. He advocates certain pretty
radical measures with more calmness
and gentleness than the general run of
TefOrmers show, and Is not as violent as
Tom Lucas and men Of his type. Mr.
Fontaine and Mr. Lucas, while enthusi-
astic advocates Of all there is in the
Omaha platform, do not agree as to
methods. Mr. Fontaine thinks such
men as Mr.. Lucas are calculated to
iniure the cause of the common people
rather than benefit it, honest as this
class may be. Mr.. FOntaine came to
Minnesota a Republican. He was
rather displeased with the way in which
Gov. McGill was turned down, and
instead of voting for the nominee of his
party-W. R. Merriam-he voted for
the Prohibition candidate for governor

by an expert gymnastic teacher. We
have also some fine out door games,
such as, tennis, of which we have two
courts, kept up by the tennis association
constituted of about 80 members.
Several Of the students have also joined
to form an athletic association, who
keep up the foot ball, base ball, and
other games. Just L w they are train
ing for home field d;y contest, which
will be held Saturday, May II. On May

versity from Appleton are going to hold
their field day with US.
There are at present over $50 normal
students, who attend this school. The
average age being about twenty years.
Sixty eight of them have taught school,
the average number of months taught
being twelve About twenty Of these
normal students have entered this last
quarter, the students are from the
following counties: Portage, Wood,
Marathon, Kewaunee, Waushara and
Dunn. On May 3rd the normal

Edwards Car Compiler.

Chicago Times-Herald says: L. J.
Edwards Of Galena, has patented car
coupler which has many points of
advantage over the various forms now
IN use. 1t is based on the principles of
both the link and pin and master car
builders couplers, but does work of
which neitheris capable. By the use
of the Edwards coupler cars can be
unCoupled when the train is in rapid
motion in either direction or standing
still. 1t also couples perfectly whether
the train is on grade, curved track or
tangent, The coupler does away with
the danger to brakeman of going
between cars and automatically turns
the air on and off with the coupling or
uncoupling.
Mr.. Edwards is in receipt of letter
from a company which wants to manu-
facture his car coupler. They offer him
S75, 900 in cash and the same amount in
stock. He has declined the offer.
