VICTORY FOR MASON.
Illinois Republicans Choose the ex-Col
gresham to Succeed John NJ. Palmer

Illinois Republicans Choose the ex-Con.
gresham to Succeed John NJ. Palmer.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Jan. 20.-Ex-Con.
gresham William E. Mason was nomi.
mated for United States senator at the
republican joint caucus last night,
after one of the most bitterly fought
battles in the history Of the republican
party in Illinois. Although he had
been canvassing the state as a sena-
torial candidate for two years, Mr..
Mason's selection was regarded by
machine" politicians as an impos-
sibility up to within two hours of
the time of his triumphant and unani-
nous nomination, the choice be-
ing the result of the sudden with
drawal from the race of Congressman
William Lorimer, who had held the
almost solid vote of Chicago and Cook
county. The contest had been so long
drawn out and the battle SO fierce that
the legislators were in mood to be
stampeded at any moment as the hour
for the caucus drew near and the sud-
den shifting of the Cook county forces
to Mason carried the other candidates
off their feet. The tide turned to-
ward the ex-congressman with rush
that carried everything before it, and
the nomination was made without the
most feeble show of opposition. Mr..
Mason's selection was distinct defeat
for the combination of politicians
known as the machine and a clear
victory for the Mckinley forces of the
state.
Ross Gets Two Years.

in the criminal court before Judge
Wofford yesterday and was given two
years in the penetentiary. 1t was Ross
first offense, and as he had previous to
the crime borne good character the
Judge gave him light sentence.

The x Rays to Detect Smuggling.

The French government recently
adopted the X rays as means of check
ing the prevailing practice Of snug
Cling. Director Pallain of the French
customs service has ordered that
Crookes tubes be kept at all the larger
customs offices, and all Of the customs
inspectors in Paris have been summoned
to the chief office to have the method of
their use explained to them.
Hitherto vast quantities Of watches,
jewelry and other dutiable articles Of
high valuation have been concealed by
slowing them in the legs of deal tables
and ink receptacles, and have thus es-
capped the notice Of the customs officers.
1t is believed that by means Of the X
rays the presence Of such articles will
be readily detected. New York Tele-

A VERY QUEER WILL.


Terse. Plain Language.
The will of Samuel Edwards, q
wealthy farmer, late of Newtown, O.,
offered for probate recently, is probably
as unique document as ever went up
ON the records of the county.
The testator begins as follows: ~
want to make another will. The one
made last June don't suit me. I'd been
sick and was sort Of worried. feel
first rate now, and I know just what I
want, therefore I, the said Samuel Ed
wards, do make public and declare this
to be my last will, revoking hereby any
and all former will or wills whatsoever
by me made. First, I'll begin with the
boys again. Tim has his share already,
the 100 acres which l decided him last
spring. l want the other boys to have
the home farm Of about 2S6 acres" And
so he proceeds in general, circumstan-
tial way to give it to them in proper
proportion.
All the other items Of the will are
equally informal and are given with q
refreshing disregard of the stiff solem-
nifty which has always clothed the sup
posed last earthly wishes of the testator
from the time wills and testaments
were first written, and yet it tells plain
~ his wishes without q cloud of legal
phraseology. ~.
The testator has always been noted
for frank eccentricity in the commu-
nifty in which he lived and died highly
respected. The Edwards family, with
the Turpins and few others, were pio-
neer settlers of the Miami valley and
have always been large landholders and
wealthy and influential citizens. The
Edwards estate is estimated at $780,
