for the purpose Of r%eOpeninG the whole
famous will ease contest, involving
the many millions left behind by the
late Judge Andrew J. Davis. Mrs.
BOwdoin is Il sister Of the deceased
millionaire. and she asks the court to
revoke the probate Of the old will,
gvcr which the contest by the Root
faction was carried on for years, and
which was finally admitted To probate
about Il year ago under some private
arrangement Tor the division of the
estate, but which arrangement did not
include some heirs-at-law who had
taken no part in the original contest
Mrs. Bowdoin was one of those. In
her petition she alleges that the old
will. executed in 1866 in Salt Creek
township, Iowa. when Davis was a
poor man, vas a forgery; that the
body of the instrument and the sigma
lures OF Davis and three witnesses
were forged. The principal point raised
in tie petition is the allegation Of the
fact that in 1880 Davis executed a Will
by the provisions Of which all former
wills were revoked, but this will was
subsequently destroyed. Mrs. Bow
dom. however. claims that the fact
that it was destroyed did not revive
the old will. even if the latter were
genuine. The estate involved. in spite
Of the great litigation. has constantly
Increased in value. and is probably
worth $4,000. 900.

Two faces re shown. One represents
"Delia, the Bluebird Of Mulberry
Bend" as she was known in her wild
life, when she had been q Christian
three months. The other is her picture
a year later. What contrast Is it pos
sible that even divine grace can so alter
q human countenance? The difference is
remarkable. A wild, haggard, sin scar
red face has given place to one full OF
sweetness, purity and peace. Each is
the index Of what the heart held OF in
ner life. Gods miracles of grace are
still busy saving bodies as well as souls
of men. Surely the gospel has promise
of the life which now is as well rs Of
that which is to come. There Is no

The unalterable basis Of right living
and right doing lies in right thinking.
1t is not enough for one to be sincere.
Many a skater has been drowned by
sincerely thinking the ice was strong
enough to hold him, when in fact it was
not. One is never safe except when he
is right. Spiritual life is as subject to
law as the material world and is bound
in eternal truth. To be saved from the
love and power Of sin men must know
the truth and the right. Christ came to
teach the right conception Of God and
man and their true relations. He found
the world full Of wrong ideas and evil
deeds. He lived rightly and righteously
and showed men how they could do the
same. He taught not only by example,
but also by word and familiar illustra-
tions taken from everyday affairs
Whoever earnestly wishes to be free
from sin and seeks pardon from God
and peace through Jesus Christ finds in
the gospel teachings truth, which com
mends itself to his understanding, wins
his affection and moves him to right
activity and frees him from the power,
the guilt and the love Of all evil and
enshrines in his nature the worship and
service of the pure and good and beauti-

Sunday afternoon delegation of bust
Eess men from Lake Linden came up to
Hancock to confer with Carroll Bros, the
proprietors of the West Hancock foun-
dry, on the removal OF their business to
the Calumet and Hecla mill town. As
Phillip Carroll, the head OF the firm, is
away from home, there was no confer
ence. However, the visiting gentlemen
made an offer OF free site near the Calu-
met and Hecla mills.
For the Houghton council Joseph
Croze has the matter in charge. The
Hougbton council is in a position to
make an offer OF cash bonus. by a spe-
cial act of the legislature the council is
empowered to levy "A special tax Tor such
objects as are deemed advisable. This
act was framed to provide for such Occa-
sions as the entertainment OF legislative
committees or other distinguished visi-
tors when the object OF the visit concerns
the welfare OF the town as whole. The
establishment of business in the town
which now employs thirty men and with
increased facilities will easily increase to
fifty men, is considered by the council as
OF sufficient Importance to warrant the
levying a special tax to help secure it.
With two towns bidding for this indus
try. it is likely that Hancock will lose it.
Either of them offers n more advantage

William A. French, State land COM

that is of special interest to the people OF
the Upper Peninsula. lie says: "By
the recent land tax all lend that has
been held by the State for three years
because of the non-payment Of taxes is
now subject to homestead entry. Each
homesteader can secure $40 acres OF
land, and all that he has to pay il 10
cents an acre each year for five years.
That gives him title to the land Tor
80 cents an acre. paid IN easy INSTALL
ments. The settlement OF the land by
homesteaders will help the northern
counties out wonderfully. You see it Is
heavy tax to keep the county aud city
government and schools OF the upper
counties going, because most OF
the land, which was formerly covered
with timber, was owned by spectators.
They cut of the timber and then refuse
TO pay taxes on il, letting it fall into the
hands OF the State. That is the way the
State secures possession of the land"
