THE ELY WILL CASE.

The noted will case of the Mission
ary Society of the Methodist Episco-
pal church VS.. the Ely heirs, which
has been pending for two years in the
supreme court on a legal point that
was raised in the circuit court of this
county has just been decided in favor
of the Missionary society. Webber
& Stroup and c. E. Pennewell were
for the Missionary society. f. G.
Johnson and w. w. Boynton for the
Ely heirs.
AS we understand the matter the
circuit court held that it had not jur-
isdiction to entertain the question as
to whether the will should have been
admitted to probate, and dismissed
the proceeding. The supreme court
held that the circuit court was wrong
in this particular and so sent the case
back to the circuit court for determ-
ination. The case involved a large
amount of property, being the estate
left by the late Albert Ely, compris-
ing most of the vacant property open
to the public to be found in various
part of Elyria, comprising several
hundred acres of land.

The weather conditions have, as a
rule been decided unfavorable to agri-
cultural interests during the past week.
The excessive rains of the latter part
of the previous week had left the
ground thoroughly soaked, while a
considerable amount of moisture re-
ceived since has had the effect of keep
ing farm land too soggy and wet to be
worked with any advantage. A light
frost occurred on the morning of the Is,
but so far as reported, there was no
damage done by it. Corn planted has
made comparatively little progress,
the ground being too wet to plant where
already plowed. Oats are mostly
sown, but are not doing very well in
some localities, especially on bottom
land where they are turning yellow
from the effects of too much rain.
Wheat and grass have Jared best and
are generally reported no have made
good progress. Apples and cherries
are about out of bloom, with prospect
for a good crop. Pears and plums will
be light, Peaches total failure.
Strawberries light in sections other
berries mostly promise well. Gardens
are backward. Potatoes mostely
planted and some coming up. Live
stock looking fine.

The WARDEN of the Kansas state
penitentiary has introduced an innoya-
tion into that institution in the way of
prison garb. Instead of the conven-
tional prison suit of stripes, his prison.
ers will, after July l, don a neat suit
of Cadet gray. The warden's idea is
that this style of dress will make the
prisoners less conspicuous in the eyes
of visitors and give them more self re-
spect. The result of this experiment
will no doubt be closely watched by
officials of similar institutions in other
parts of the country.

CANAL DOVER was lately visited with
a horrible outrage perpetrated upon
the persons of three old and inofensive
women who lived alone and were re-
puted to be wealthy and to keep con-
siderable money in the house. The
motive for the assault was robbery
and was committed by four merciless
brutes in the guise of men. The fiends
beat their victims with clubs and burn
ed their feet with torches in an effort
to compel a disclosure of their hiding
place for valuables Such occurrences
are becoming entirely too frequent in
this country and summary means
should be taken to discourage similar
crimes in the future. We ordinarily
would not recommend such extreme
measures as are used in some sections
of the country, but we believe that
killing would be none too good for
such people as these.

ONE REASON.

WELLINGTON is the natural center of
large, fertile and populous agricultu-
raj section and ought to attract nearly
all of the country trade for miles a.
round. However, she does not, and of
course there is some reason for it..
We do not think the near by towns
possess more attractive places OF busi-
ness or more courteous and obliging
business men than our own, and
things of that kind don't count any
way as do good goods and low prices
to draw custom.
We believe one reason for loss of
trade is the fact that farmers, as rule
do not find ready market here for their
vegetables and other small produce.
1t somehow takes so little of such stuff
to supply the local market, and there
are SO many farmers TO raise it, that
each one can sell but small portion
of what he raises. Farmers generally
possess little ready money, and many
of them depend upon garden truck,
eggs, butter etc, to obtain their house.
hold supplies in exchange ,and if they
fail to find a ready market for such
things in one place, they very natural
ly seek some other place where they
can trade to advantage. l. seems to
us that our merchants might arrange
to supply some outside markets and
thus be able to handle all the garden
truck ETC., which our farmers may
choose to bring here.
The writer knows of two towns not
thousand miles from here, that may

serve to illustrate his meaning. One
of these towns numbers about 5000
inhabitants and has many advantages
over other nearby places which should
enable her to draw large trade from
the country surrounding; but she
don't get it, and why? Simply because
a bushel of potatoes or crock of but
ter. at one time, would glut the mar
ket, consequently the merchants do
not encourage farmers to bring their
produce to town.
%x*
About ten miles from the place above
mentioned is another town possessing
only 1000 inhabitants. but her mer-
chants,-they are hustlers They buy
all the stuff the farmers take them
and even pay little more for it than
other markets when they can. What
is the result of such a course? Well,
farmers living within two miles of the
larger place will drive eight miles to
the smaller place in order to find a
good market, and they do it, too. The
larger town is always dull and seems
to be doing not hing, while the smaller
place generally presents an appear
ance of great activity. Her merchants
are prosperous, and her people point
with pride to the steady growth and
improvement of their town.
This is no imaginative sketch, but
every word of it is fact, and perhaps
the business men of Wellington would
do well to emulate the example of
those living in the town of 1000 in
habitants.
