in appropriations. He suggests that

two institutions that have thus far

Legislature of 1897, which state tax
was 81, or. 90 for the two years.
This is doubtless the cause Of the gov

the memory of the late Albert Pack,

panied by the premier NJ. Dupuy, and
the chief of military household, Gen.

races on the 4th closely followed by

Dreyfus to Have a New Trial.

Frances cabinet council on the Sd
decided that the French second class
cruiser SfaX, now at Fort de France,
Martinique, should proceed immed-
lately and take Dreyfus from the Isle
of Devils To France. His conviction
having been annulled by the united
chambers of the court of cessation,
his military rank and title are restored
to him. The court of cessation, in
granting Dreyfus II new trial, pro-
claims that a revision by court martial
shall be granted. All of the revision
list papers acclaim the decision as the
triumph of truth, justice and law and
express the hope that all France and
all right-minded men will bow before
the decree. They appear for reconcil-
iation and calmness. The anti-revis-
ionist papers consider it the duty of all
to submit, in order to restore peace in
the country. A few of them affect to
await with confidence the verdict of
the new court martial" implying that
this will be another condemnation.

DoubIe Murder md Suicide.

Mrs. Johanna Schilling, 35 years of
age, and her two young daughters,
Gertrude, aged 10, and Edna, aged 8,
were found dead in their home in New
York on the 4th. All had been asphyx-
lated by gas doubtless turned on by
the mother with the idea of numbering
her two children and then committing
suicide. The tragedy evidently grew
out of a quarrel between the woman
and her husband, Otto Schilling, a
tailor. A week ago they had a misun-
Outstanding and the husband left the
fat. Mrs. Schilling had a warrant is
sued for his arrest. Schilling returned,
but when a policeman attempted to ar
rest him Schilling escaped over the
roof of the tenement After his second
disappearance Mrs. Schilling kept her
children in her apartments, turned on
the gas with the above result.

ok WINS HIS CASE.
Town of somers is Not Allowed TO Lay
Ditch Through His Property.

Judge Fish yesterday handed down
a decision overu1ing the demurrer in
the Injunction suit of Bernard Ok VS..
the Town of Somers. The case has
attracted a great deal of attention in
the county and throughout the state
and a number of very pretty points
of law were found in the decision IN
the case. The suit grows out of an
old ditch built in the town of Somers
and through the land of Ok. The
latter found that the ditch was nuis-
ance and finally closed it UP without
making any enquiries of the town
board. The town at once planned to
reopen the ditch but they were stopped
by an injunction filed by Ok through
his attorney, L. G. Bohmrich. The
case was argued before Judge Fish
several months ago. The town board,
through their attorneys, Thomas
Kearney, of Racine, and Peter Fisher,
of this city, entered demurrer to the
suit. The legal points Of the case
were argued at length by Messrs.
Bohmrich, Fisher and Kearney, and
the Judge took the matter under ad-
visement until the decision was an
nounced. The victory of Ok in the
suit will set a precedent which will be
of great value to the legal talent of
the state in future fights between the
rights OF the towns and the rights of
the individual citizen. AS the deci-
sion of the judge now stands it is not

INDEPENDENTS WIN.
Old Players Take the First Game in the
City Championship Series.

An exciting bowling match was
played at the Maple House alleys last
evening between the Independent
Bowling CLUB and the Bee Hives.
The contest resulted in a complete
victory for the Independents by a
score of 1892 to 1864. The winner of
the match is a team consisting of
many of the old bow1ers of the city
and it will not be surprising if this
team makes strong bid for champ
ionship l1onors during the season just
opening. In every inning save one
the Independents showed their SUPERB
ority over their opponents and the
large score shows that the latter were
no match for the Independents. The
largest score of the evening was made
by Capt. Harbert, of the Independents,
who rolled UP a score of 2O8 points.
Schend was the only winner among
the Bee Hives and he succeeded in de-
feating his opponent Nesen by a score
of 1913 to 179. Several other games
have been arranged between the two
teams to be played during the next
few weeks. The complete score of the
contest was as follows:

THE SMITH WILL.
Causes Not Little Disappointment in
Here When the Terms are Announced.

The terms of the will of the late
George Smith, which were published
exclusively in the EVENING News last
night, have caused quite good deal
of comment in this city. OF course
Mrs. Farr, who was one of the nearest
kin of the deceased banker, was disap-
pointed in the fact that the will did
not mention her as one of the 1egatees.
But the disappointment is not accom-
panied by any hard feelings, and Mrs.
Farr said a few days ago that she
could feel nothing but gratitude toward
Mr.. Smith, because he had been 50
kind to her during his life.
The only one of the immediate fam
lily of Mrs. Farr, who will receive a part
of the wealth of the London banker, is
George Keith, who was a Kenosha
visitor last summer.
Mr.. Keith, according to the terms of
the will, will receive us shares of
stock in the c., B. & Q. Railway. Dur
ing his life Mr.. Smith provided 1iber-
ally for Mrs. Farr and it is announced
that some time ago he settled upon her
an annuity of 1000. Ih1s annuity
will not in any way be affected by the
will, and according to the terms of the
gift it will go to her children after the
death of Mrs. Farr.
The disappointment from the terms
of the will is felt as much by the
friends of Mrs. Farr as by that lady
herself. Her generous nature has
been shown in the past in such man
ner that her friends had hoped that
she would be able to receive a part of
the fortune in order that she might be
able to carry out lot of worthy plans
which had been made for the future.
Mrs. Farr refused to discuss the will
and stated that she had not been Off
cia11y informed of it's contents.
