TOM JONES' WILL.
Children of William Jones Trying to Break
1t. An Interesting Case Before
Judge HOagland.

An interesting will case came before
Judge Hoagland in the Orphans Court
Monday. 1t was the will of Thon !,
button manufacturer, of Vineland. Many
Vineland people were present, most of
them, however, were witnesses.
Lawyer Berault had the case in charge,
he being the executor of the estate of the
deceased. This interfering with him
taking the case, he employed James J.
Ware, OF this city, and eX-Judge Howard
Carrow, of Camden, as counsel for the
will.
Lawyer Loughran, of Vineland, the
counsel for the children, who claim to be
neices and nephews. He had associa' ed
with him Charles R. Carruth and
Clarence U. Carruth, New York, lawyers,
whom he introduced to the court.
Before the case went on there was some
legal sparring, the counsel against the
will making motion for special guar
| dian to be appointed for the minors.
Judge Hoagland overruled the motion.
They also tried to get postponement but
| failed.
| Mr.. Bereault was called and testified
that he lived in Vineland and knew Mr..
Jones. Knew he was dead and that he
was made executor. He had represented
MIR. Jones as his counsel for the last six
teen years. AT his request he prepared
the will of Thomas Jones. Witness said
he drew the will at Mr.. Jones' request
and was signed by Mr.. Jones himself Il
was in witness handwriting. He said
Mr.. Jones came to his office and directed
him how it should be drawn, and tc
whose favor. 1t was prepared while Mr.
Jones was standing in his office. Mr.
| Bereault said he read the will to him anC
he (Jones,) read it himself and sale
THAT is just what want. 1t suits me ,
Lawyer Clarance Carruth objected tc
testlmong OF Mr.. Berault. Judge Carrov
did not think Mr.. Carruth understood tht
laws of this State in regards to the matter
He may have good grounds for hi
objections, but they wanted to proceed
| with the case.
Mr.. Bereault, then went on with hi
testimony and said he went out of hi
office and got two witnesses to the will
Mr.. Jones said he knew what he signed
he declared that it was his last will ant
testiment. Witness then sealed it. Th
| next time he saw the will was when h.
was at Mrs. Jones' house when she opened
the saIe and gave it to him.
This case involves $780, 900 estate ant
is contested by claimed heirs of Thomas
Jones. Thomas Jones died leaving
widow. but no heirs. The children wht
are contesting the will are the children o
William Jones, who it is claimed are tn,
children of William tJones' second wifi;
whom he married without divorce from
his first wife.

Populist agitation has not been
without effect even upon the powers
that he. 1t is now announced that
Postmaster General Gary has after a
careful and exhaustive study Of
experiences elsewhere, concluded to
recommend the establishment Of
postal savings banks. The Chicago
Record has also undertaken a nation
wide agitation Of the subject. The
VOICE is in receipt of a batch Of
circulars calling attention to a bill
prepared for that great journal by
eminent legal talent. The Records
circular says; "During the last few
years all classes of citizens-the
poor, the well-to-do, even the rich
have been brought to recognize the
necessity for the establishment Of
an absolutely secure depository tor
small savings. Thousands Of thrifty
persons whose earning power is
restricted have experienced the
bitterness coming from loss of their
hard-earned savings through the
failure of savings banks, building and
loan associations and other in
situations which were supposed to
give safety to the sums intrusted to
them. The suffering and despair
which have resulted from such fail
ures have been felt in every COM
munity." A few years ago when
Populists began this agitation it was
paternalistic and visionary. Not SO
now. The Record encloses a form
of petition which it desires signed
and forwarded to its publication.
office. The petition reads as
follows:
We, the undersigned citizens Of the
United States Of America, residing in
-, respectfully and
earnestly petition the national con.
gresS to enact into law at its earliest
opportunity the following bill:
Sign them up in every neighbor-
hood and send them in.

Many Populist newspapers are
condemning Senator PETER for max
ing a Middle-of-t Road speech be-
fore Populist convention of that
sort in Iowa. The VOICE cannot
agree with the Senators judgment on
policy in this instance but we credit
his honesty In the matter. Middle
Of the'Road Populism has been
made odius in Kansas by such disin-
genuous creatures as Abe Stein
berger and old Paul Vanderyoort,
until it has come to require a man Of
the honorable reputation Of Senator
PETER to challenge the attention of
the people and get a hearing on a
plan for legitimate and permanent
union Of all reform forces. There
are those who fear We may not be
able to get all elements together
again in 1900, much as they may
desire that end, and these are laying
groundwork for a genuine union of
the elements, al which all may come
in under the same banner and the
same party. Two or three parties,
no matter how similar their platform
of principles may ke, will always
excite more or less friction, and the
sooner all become one, on a salts
factory basis, the better will it be
for the cause Of Populism or Bryan
iSm," or whatever you may please to
call it.

The
Cruel Knife!

The alarming increase in the number
of deaths which occur as the result of
surgical operation is attracting general
attention, and a strong sentiment
against such methods of treatment is
fast developing among the most intelli.
gent classes. II seems that in almost
every case for which the doctors treat
ment is unsuccessful, the learned physi-
clans decide at once that an operation
must be performed, and the keen blade
Of the surgeon is recklessly resorted to.
Doctors are human, and of course are
liable to make mistakes, but their mis-
takes are too fatal to be INDUCED in
promiscuously, and as so many lives are
sacrificed in this manner, it is but natural
for the public to believe that half the
operations are unnecessary, besides be-
ing fearful risk to human life, even if
successful.
It is positive fact, however, that all
operations are not necessary, and that a
majority Of them are absolutely under
taken without the slightest chance Of
success. The doctors have never been
able to cure blood disease, and sur
gical operation is their only method Of
treating deep-seated cases, such as can
Ger and scrofulous affections. Aside
from the great danger, an operation
never did and never will cure cancer, as
the disease never fails to return. Cam
Ger is in the blood, and common sense
teaches anyone that no disease can be
cut from the blood.

Senator Harris date for Yelling
ton has been definitely set for Satur.
dai, October 10th. He will speak
in the opera house in the afternoon.
Every farmer in Sumner county
ought to make a note OF this date
and put it on his program to come
to Wellington on that day. There
will be no rally, nor anything Of that
sort-just a quiet gathering Of the
people to hear one Of the ablest and
truest men of these latter times.
Senator Harris is a man who offends
no partisan, yet appeals with great
force and sound logic.

The censure Of Senator Baker by
his constituents, on account OF
the appointment of Cy Le-
land as pension agent, over the
protest Of nearly all the old soldiers,
has become so strong that Baker has
seen fit to shift the responsibility on
to President mckinley. The local
Leland organ, the which is an adept
at putting the finishing touches on
such stories says president McKin-
ley became intimately acquainted
with Mr.. Leland during the past
campaign and came to admire him
as a politician and to love him as a
FRIEND" that Leland told the presi-
dent in response to a query as to
what he would like, that he wanted
nothing, and that the president
prevailed upon him to accept the
pension agency only by telling him
that if he did not accept it it would

What pretty story indeed. If
Mckinley is glowing" such fellows
as Cy Leland, Kansas people will

Here is a case where the pain inflicted
on a six-year-old boy was especially
cruel. and after undergoing the fortunes
produced BY the surgeons knife he rap
idly grew worse. Mr.. J. N. Murdoch,
the father Of the boy, residing at 27o
Snodgrass street, Dallas, Texas, writes:
when my son, Will, was six years
old, q small sore appeared on his lip,
which did not yield to the usual treat
ment, bat before long began to grow. II
gave him great deal Of pain, and con-
tinued to spread. He was treated by
several good doctors, who said he had
cancer, and advised that an operation
was necessary.
"After much reluctance, we consented,
and they cut down to the jaw bone,
which they scraped. The operation was
q severe one, but I thought it was the
only hope for my boy. Before a great
while the cancer returned, and began to
grow rapidly. We gave him many REM
edies without relief. and finally upon the
advice Of friend, decided to try SIS.
(Swift's Specihc), and with the second
bottle he began to improve. After twenty
bottles had been taken, the cancer dis.
appeared entirely and he was cured.
The cure was permanent one, for he IL
now seventeen years old, and has never
had sign Of the dreadful disease to re-
turn"
S.S.S. Is far ahead Of all other blood
remedies, because il Is the only one
which cures deep-sested obstinate blood
diseases such as Cancer, Scrofula,
Eczema, CatsTh, Rheumatism, etc.
