Lecture Course Opened.

The course of lectures on "Astrono-
N.Y. by Prof. G. c. Comstock, of the
University of Wisconsin, opened at
Concordia Opera house Thursday
evening. There was present a very
creditable audience, in which the fe-
male sex predominated. Owing to the
inadequacy of the electric power from
the local plant, Prof. ComstOck was
compelled at the last moment to
forego using his stereopticon, which
fact necessitated change Of topic
for the evening, the discourse on
THE Moon" being substituted bv
that on Growth and Decay in
the Universe" Notwithstanding the
consequent non preparation, the lect-
urer entered into his subject without
embarrassm and before he had fin
lshed had demonstrated himself a
master of the science he teaches. He
is an easy, fluent talker and so enter
talnlngly does he present his fund of
knowledge that he has no trouble in
holding the complete attention of the
audience. Prof. Comstock explained
the different suppositions of scientists
as to how the universe had grown from
the original nebula and how the differ
ent processes OF decay had set in. His
picture of what scientists apprehend
IS n store for Mother Earth was not at
al cheerful prospective. He also ex-
planned the causes of heat, tides, etc.
The lecture was very instructive and
we would advise all seeking for higher
education to hear Prof. Comstock dur
ing the remainder Of the course The
next lecture is announced for to-mor.

THE BEQUEST Is LOST.
COLE WILL CASE GOES AGAINST
THE CITY
The Supreme Court Decides the Will
Invalid-Mr. Coles Plans for a Free
Library Here Are Knocked Out.

A decision in the John w. Cole
will case, which our citizens have
been awaiting with interest, was
handed down by the Wisconsin su-
preme court yesterday. The ruling
of the lower court was reversed and it
is held that the provisions of the testa-
ment, so far as they affect the city's
interests, are invalid. By this deci-
sion Watertown is bereft of an oppor-
tunity to enjoy the benefits of a be-
quest of $50, 900 for the establishment
and maintenance of a public library,
a business mems club and a home for
aged and needy women.
The facts in the case are familiar to
our readers and call for only brief
review. Our late townsman, John w.
Cole, who died three years age, left
very complicated and lengthy will.
Included in its provisions was a be-
quest OF realty, valued at $50. .000 to
be held in trust by the executors and
used for the benefit of the widow of
the testator, Mrs Eliza c.. Cole, and
his son, Oscar A. Cole, during their
natural lives. after which the same
was to be decided to the city for the
purpose of establishing and maintain
ing a public library and business
mems club. Another piece of property
was to be given to the city to be used
as an old ladies' home. Owing to the
many complications of the will and its
questioned validity, suit was instituted
in the Jefferson county circuit court to
instrument. The executors, d. H.
Beurhaus and William Humphrey,
through their attorney, l.. B. Caswell,
of Fort Atkinson, appeared as plain
tiffs in the suit, which was argued
about a year ago. The claim was set
up that the city had no authority to
take the trusts on the ground that the
same are in cOntraventiOn of the
statute OF perpetuities. Judge Ben
nett held that the will was valid in it's
every provision and that the intent Of
the testatOr was clearly to endow Wa
tertown with the benefits enumerated.
The supreme court, however, is of a
different opinion, holding that the
provisions of the will are uuconstitu-
tional. Harlow Pease fought the case
for the city and w. H. Rogers, of Fort
Atkinson, appeared for the Coles.
The opinion of the court has not yet
been received here, but we expect to
print it in the near future.

LIKE THE PARENTS.

Boys Can Have Their Coffee Now
When good healthy boy sits down to
his breakfast and sees Pa and Ma have
their coffee to dip toast in and sip, be
feels sighted that he can't have some
too. But parents know that it is really
poisonous to children, and refuse them.
Postum Cereal Food Coffee. made by
Postum Cereal Co., Linn, Battle Creek,
Mich. is exactly like coffee in looks,
and yet it is made of the healthful
grains and is nourishing and fattening.
Boys and girls can drink it every meal
if they like. 1t is simply food of the
most Eourishing sort, but prepared so
that 1T fills the eye of even careful
expert.
DR.. E. Schoene. 1176 Milwaukee ave-
nue., Chicago, says: 81 am very much
pleased with Postum. 1t is delicious
drink, and [ think preferable to all
similar products, such as health coffee,
malt. etc."
A reliable grocer will never offer a
cheap or weak imitation of genuine
original article because he happens to
make a little extra profit. But it is well
to observe that when genuine Postum
Cereal Coffee is ordered, that you get
Postum, and not spurious imitation
offered as Just as good"

To Sue an Estate, ,

Papers have been served on the heirs
OF the late John P. Slight in an action
to be commenced in the Dodge county
circuit court by William I. Slight, of
Emmett, against his fathers estate
The plaintiff is represented by Malone
Bachhuber, attorneys, and w H.
Woodard, of counsel, while Harlow
Pease is retained by the defendants.
The court is petitloned to free a GER
tain piece of property of any existing
enoumbrance and to clear up the title
to the same. The property at issue is
the plaintiff s homestead in the town
of Emmet, consisting of 154 acres Of
farm land. 1t is alleged in the com
plant that this property was given to
the plaintiff some twenty years ago by
his father upon certain conditions, all
of which, it is alleged, have been COM
piled with. It is further alleged that
the will of the deceased, which is now
in probate, provides that this same
property shall be decided to the plain
tiff upon the payment to the estate of a
certain sum of money. The defend
ants in the action are the widow and
