Contest Over Will.
CEDAR RAPIDS, Dec. 19.-Samuel Saw
yer, a wealthy farmer, died in Audubon
county about year ago, leaving the
larger part of the estate to the Metho.
dist church. The heirs contested the
will, and after long and bitter fight it
was set aside. Recently the Audubon
county court appointed Attorney Nash
as administrator of the estate, and
when young Sawyer refused to turn
the property over to him the court is
sued bench warrant and ordered the
sheriff to take him to Audubon to show
cause why he should not be fined for
contempt Of court. Sawyer was ar

through Marion Sheriff Cone served
writ of habeas corpus upon him, issued
by Judge Giberson of the superior court
of this city. A hearing on tho writ

His Brothers. Keeper.

Two dogs are still held in pleasant
recollection in Melrose, Mass. One
was shaggy, numbering, elephantine
New Foundland named Major. the
other a sleek, wiry little black and
tan, called Kikie. Both Major and
Kikie have long since passed to their
reward, but this story of their friend
ship is still told by those who knew
| them.
A few hundred yards from the home
of the woman who owned the dogs
was railroad crossing. Kikie had
the bad habit of rushing down the
street to this crossing when he heard
the whistle of an approaching train. He
would tten dash along beside the cars
and bark: furiously. Many time he
had been punished for it, but the roar
of train was always too much for
his good resolutions.
One day-thc pitcher that goes too
often tc, the well, you know-some
portion of the flying train struck him.
He fell into the ditch beside the track
and there he lay till old Majors bark
ing attracted the attention of pass
ing friend.
The little dog was taken home, his
wounds dressed, and his battered
frame nursed back to health. During
his convalescence Major was always
with him and doubtless often said: L
told you so, and 81 hope this will
teach you lesson.
But, alas for Majors hopes! Kikie
was no sooner out doors again than he
resumed his dangerous habit. Major,
however, had apparently made up his
mind that moral suasion was useless
and physical force must be employed.
The next time Kikie started for the
crossing Major followed. The little
dog was light and quick motioned and
"got into his stride,' as the horseman
say, in the first few yards. Major on
the other hand, was heavy and slow at
| the start, and before he was under full
headway Kikie was fifty yards ahead.
But there was conscious rectitude
and stern resolve and the force of a
moral principle in Majors gait. lie
doubled himself up and let himself
out in way that was good to see, and
he overlook Kikie with ten yards of
the crossing.
With one blow of his paw he batted
his small friend over, placed his great
foot on the little dog IS chest, and held
him down while the train rushed by.
Kikie lay perfectly still. When
the last car had passed old Major re-
moved his pawa with a bark and a
growl which said as plainly as speech:
"Thcre, you little fool! Can't you
learn anything? Do you want to get
hit by the cars again?" and Kikie got
up and followed Major home with his
tail between his legs.
Many time all this was repeated
to the delight of those who saw it.
Kikie never failed to get the start,
but Major always caught him before
the crossing was reached, always
knocked him over and held him down
till the whole train was safely past.
Kikie never learned wisdom, but Ma
ior never gave him up as "past rcfor-
nation. -. Youths Companion.

GENTLLMEN
l am much pleased with the "Mas-
tic Ready Mixed Paint" Ihave had
my house-"Rose Hill"-painted sew
eral times, and have used many diff.
ferent brands of Ready Mixed Paint,
and have had it painted with Lead
and Oil. In my judgment the MAS
TIC gives better results, and is more
satisfactory in every way than any Of
them. 1t has gloss and finish about
it rarely found in Paints, and when I
have more painting to do I shall GER
tainly use it. 1t is a mistaken notion
that Ready Mixed Paints cost more.
and if the people will use high
grade, like the MASTlC, the preju'
dice existing against them will die
out. You are at liberty to use this as
you like.
Respectfully yours,

The Denver Republican yesterday
published the following dispatch from
Cripple Creek in rgard to the Fortune
which are accused by n wealthy Bos-
ton lady of having swindled her out
of large sum of money
The Fortune Gold Mining Co., osten-
sibly of CrippleCreek, but in reality of
Boston, owns undisputed right to three
claims located in the granite some
where off south of few miles of the
little probability that the title of the
company to the property Will ever be
brought into dispute. 1t is to recover
100000 paid for stock In this company
that Mrs. Julia ID. French, wealthy
society woman of the Back Bay dis
trict of Boston. has caused the arrest
OF S. Hamilton Guyot, Francis Apple
ton and VIM. Berehak Abbott. also of
that city.
The prospectus of the Fortune COM
pany Is one of the most glowing that
has ever appeared in Cripple Creek
from the far away hills. In II the
purchaser of stock. which is offered
for sale at so cents a share, is led to
believe the claims owned by the com
pany are among the most valuable in
the heart of the Cripple Creek district.
The people of Boston have suffered
heavily from companies of this class,
formed by their own people and the
parties arrested, who are directors OF
the Fortune Co., have number or
similar claims located in similarly far
away hills adjacent to the Cripple
Creek district.

CORN SLOWER.
It's Nutritivc yniuc-Preparation of Slower
For Feeding.

It's Nutritivc ynluc--Preparation of Slower
For Feeding.
Farmers differ widely as to the feed
ing value of corn slower. Some have
claimed that slower possesses but little
nutritive value, while many others con-
slider it to have about one-balf the feed
ing value of hay. AS /. b. Lindsey Of
the Massachusetts Hatch experiment
station explains, its true feeding value
depends to a great extent upon its me-
chanical condition, the quantity fed
daily and its proper combination with
other feeding stuffs. When slower is fed
whole, tho average animal eats the
leaves, husks and tops and refuses the
stalks. 1t is only necessary to observe
the farmers manure pile to know the
value he places upon his slower. To
show the increased consumption caused
by cutting corn slower, the Wisconsin
experiment station conducted three feed
ing experiments with four milk cows.
The cows were fed grain ration and
in addition all they would eat of cut or
uncut slower. The corn was cut into
inch lengths in Il feed cutter, which
also shredded the coarse stalks. The
first two experiments were conducted
with Pride of the North stover me-
dunn dent variety, and the last with
Stowell Evergreen, planted thickly. 1t
was found that cutting saved SO per
cent of the fodder in the first, 81 per
cent in the second and 0 per cent in the
third experiment. 1t is probably con-
sentative statement that farmers loso
fully one-third of their slower by feed
ing it whole.
Machins, arc in use which husk the
corn and shred the slower at the same
time. Many have pronounced them
economical, while some have questioned
the advantages to be derived from them
Professor Nourse of tho Virginia expert.
ment station, who has recently given
one of these machines a practical trial,
reports very satisfactory results. Any
machine that will thoroughly shred the
fodder is preferable to one that simply
cuts it.
Fodder that is shredded Immediately
on being drawn from the field is often
so moist as to mold when thrown in
large piles and proves worthless for
feeding. The New Jersey experiment
station has reported serious trouble
from this course. On the other hand, if
the fodder is stored for few months
previous to shredding the danger is
largely if not entirely avoided. This in
wolves considerable extra expense, how
ever, which sometimes renders it of
doubtful economy Tho fact remains
that stover cannot be shredded in any
large quantity when moist without
great danger of its rapidly becoming
unfit for feeding Farmers having pow
err cutters of their own can shred at one
time sufficient for weeks use without
danger of its spelling.
