the failing appetite which keeps pace so

Here is a heartfelt letter as it was
written on Dec. IL last by Mrs. William
Nelson, who is cashier of the Central
Relief Committee of Chicago:
"Gentlemen:-I have used Paine's
celery compound several times for the
past two years for liver and kidney

there is no need of further proof as to

GOES TO THE HEIRS.
Trust Clause in Sutro's Will is De-
clared Invalid.

San Francisco, Jan. 19.-The trust
clause in the will of the late Adolph Su-
tro, in which he bequeaths much of his
valuable property to charitable and ed
vocational purposes, under certain con-
ditions, has been declared invalid by
Judge Trout, and the estate will re-
vert to the heirs. The probate of the
will probably will come up before Pro-
bate Judge Coffey tomorrow.
At any time within a year after the
admission of the will the probate con-
test can be filed, but it is not antici-
pated that the trust clause will cause
any further trouble. One contest has al
ready been prepared for filing. Mrs.
Clara K. LUCE claims to be the con-
tract wife of the millionaire, by which
arrangement, she asserts, she bore two
children, Adolph and Adolphine Sutro.

Mascoutah, ILL.,, Jan.19.-Charles Clark

by the result and a fight ensued. Clark

BUILDING ROADS.
General Wood spoke especially of the
establishment of schools and the build
ing Of roads. He said he had 1000 men
making roads, and that he was getting
many schools started. Replying to a
question from Senator Hawley, he said
the people were anxious for the sep
aration of the church and state in edu-
catiOnal matters, and that they seemed
to want to be like Americans in this as
well as in other respects. Speaking of
Santiago city, he said the collections,
mainly from customs, have been suffi-
cient to pay all legitimate expenses and
meant to devote to cleaning out the har-
Dor. This harbor, he said, had an &C
emulation of ten feet of filth, and with
this removed he believed the city would
be as healthy as any American city.

To Abolish Brass Checks.

Chicago, Jan. 19.-Brass checks are to
be discarded by the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul road and little pasteboard
identifers used in their stead. The ac-
ton is radical and may mean abandon
ment of unwieldy checks. officers of
the st. Paul give two reasons for the
change; first, brass checks are too ex-
pensive; second, the pasteboards, being
small and light, can be carried more
readily by the passengers.
The pasteboard checks have brass
eyelets and are fastened to the baggage
by stout Irvine. They will be issued in

be the result of the Cars peace con-
ference, the fact that it had been sum-

could afford to neglect the necessary

continued, must continually strengthen
it's defenses, which We're altogether too
weak, though both her army and navy
were organized with the view of defense
alone and no one could suspect her of
aggressive schemes.
King Oscar at the conclusion of the
reading of the speech, expressed the
hope that the parliament would provide
for experimental mobilization.
