To Contest q Peculiar VIII.

New York, June 3.-Mrs. Serena D.
Turell, a 7O-year-old widow, who died
in the Park Avenue hotel in May last,
left a will so peculiar that it Is likely
to be contested. The document ignores
her near relatives, but remembers dis
tant relatives, her colored washerwo-
man, her dressmaker, several walters
who attended her at the hotel, where
she lived for ten years, and several
charities. Her estate is valued at $780,
900. Among those remembered is the
Rev. A. b. Simpson, the evangelist to
whom wealthy persons yearly contrib
ute Jewels and money aggregating
thousands of dollars. This gift il
valued at 100000.

Vesuvius presented rare sight re-
Gently, real flames issuing from the
summit. Part of the south wall of the
crater fell in, blocking up the vents
from which the gases had escaped. A
few days later, on April Is, this mass
having become redhot, squirt of flame
200 feet high was sent out, accompanied
by a tremendous roar. The column Of
fire was yellow, with flashes of red,
violet and intense blue. Professor Ma
tcucci, who saw it, says that it was the
only jet Of incandescent gas ever OBJ.
served on Vosuvius, the light which
people usually mistake for flames being
merely the reflection of the lava below
on the smoke that rises from the crater.

Wheeling, w. Va, June Sin the
second trial of Mrs George Atkinson,
wife of Governor Atkinson, on the
charge of forgery, and jointly indicted
with j. P. Owens as accessory, Judge
Blizzard yesterday sustained the de-
murrer of the defense, which was ar
gued Wednesday, and so far as Mrs.
Atkinson is concerned she is tempor-
arily released The decision was upon
q technical point of law involving the
necessity of alleging the guilty knowl-
edge" in the Indictment The decision
does not reach the merit of the case,
and does not preclude another indict-
ment. The trial of Owens will go on,
and Mrs. Atkinson's attorneys are as
sisting in his defense.

CASE OF ]. <. oLDs.
Convicted Of Forgery, He Appeals for
i New Trial, Which the su.
preme Court Denies.

The supreme court decided against
J. Z. Olds, of Perry, in an opinion on
his appeal handed down at the conven-
ing Of the court. Odds was a prominent
resident of Perry, and was known over
central Iowa. He was engaged in
financial business extensively. He was
indicted on charge Of forgery and
after several trials was convicted in
April, 1896, and sentenced to three
years in the penitentiary. He APP
pealed. The supreme court af1rms the
decision and judgment of the lower
court. It also determines these two
questions: That it was proper to In
troduce the court records of former
trials in the last one; and that the mis-
conduct of jurors will not serve to eff
feet retrial in itself, but only in such
cases as the improper conduct is
shown to be prejudicial to the interests
of plaintiff or defendant. In this case
the supreme court saysit has no doubt
of the improper conduct olson of the
jurymen, but it does not appear to the
court to have prejudiced the matter.
The note which Odds was convicted of
having forged was one for $500, given
to A. Bonner as security loaned, and
signed apparently by ]. K. and Meyer
e. MYERS.

w. G. Jones, of Oak Dale, was call
ing on Cresco friends a day or two
since numbering the people OF this
print shop among them. In him the
people had the opportunity to have
had an educated and honest man for
County Superintendent instead OF the
dishonest, illiterate boor that disgracee
the office and is a standing reproach
to the intelligent people of the county.
Besides making merchandise of first
grade teachers certificates for political
support. Whether "school keeps or
not, /" he EFFORTS from the taxpayers OF
the county his regular 81 90 day and
we are told that if the Board of Super
visors refuse to allow his bills, he
threatens to appoint his wife his
deputy and draw a salary for her. His
only interest in Howard county is the
money he can extort from the public
treasury. The only value his certifi-
Gates have is the authority it gives to
school boards to use the public money
In payment of teachers salary. The
idea that Prof. Ling, or any one of the
teachers in Cresco public schools shall
stand on level with the holder of a
boughten certificate of equal grade, is
too contemplate.

BACK FROM ALASKA.
Prominent Angus Man Returns Rich
In Experience and Relates
His Adventures.

Robert W. Simpson, a prominent
business man at Angus, who went to
the NoDdike last spring, has returned
rich in experience, if not in gold. He
made the trip to the gold fields via the
overland route. Leaving the railroad
at its terminus, Ashcroft, B. c., the re-
mainder of the journey, 1000 miles, was
accomplished on foot and was fraught
with numerous hardships ard priva-
tions. He reports the territory north
of Ashcroft to be vast wilderness, al
most totally destitute of even wild
game, which was sore disappoint-
ment to many who went with the ex-
pectation of procuring considerable
part of their living by hunting along
the trail. For a stretch of $50. miles
along the route not sign of human
habitation could be seen. Arriving at
Skaguay and crossing the White pass,
he found all the claims worth working
to have been staked out last year and
subsequent reported discoveries to be
fakes. All recent arrivals who have
enough money are returning to civili-
cation, but the number forced to re-
main is far in excess of the amount Of
