DECISION RESERVED IN
 THE PLANT WILL CASE
The Wife of Henry B. Plant Attacks the Codocil of the Will Bequesthing
 Property to a Child.

New York, April 9.-Justice Freeman in the supreme court today reserved decision upon the application of Mrs Margaret Plant, widow of the late railroad and steamboat magnate, for the removal of the suit contesting the validity of the will of her husband from the equity to the trial part of the court. Mrs. Plant wishes the case to be heard by a jury.
 Henry Bradley Plant, the husband of Mrs. Plant, died at his New York home last June leaving an estate worth over $10, 00000O. By the terms of a will left by him he bequeathed to Mrs. Plant an in come of s30,0O0 annually. Her dover inter est in the property would amount to about S3,500, 000 It is the third codicil to the will of MT. Plant that is attacked by his wife
 The codicil to the will was executed in Connecticut and by its terms MT. Plant bequeathed the estate to the eldest son of Mortimer F. Plant, but now years of age, who is not to receive the property until a time when his youngest brother or sister shall have reached his or her majority. This ties up the estate for more than two lives which 1t is contended under the laws of this state is prohibited.
 Mrs Plant and her son Mortimer who has joined her in the suit over the estate assert that New York was MT. Plants le- gal residence and that the will should be probated in this state and not in Connec- ticut.

The most important organs in the human body are the kidneys.
 They remove all the waste and poison from the system They are the natural filt- CTS of the body, and just as sure as water IS purer and clearer after 1t has passed through fiter so is the human system purer, so is the blood richer and more rosy when the kidneys are properly performing their functions You may feel as though you have no kidney and bladder trouble. It is best to be on the safe side. Find out whether your father or mother had kidney trouble, and if so be on your guard, for no disease follows from generation to genera ton like kidney disease.
 When .our kidneys are not doing their work some of the symptoms which prove 1t to you are pain or duil ache in the back, plenty of ambition but no strength, sedi- ment in the urine after standing twenty four hours, scanty supply with scalding r- ritaticn in passing it, may be obliged to go often during the day and to get up many times during the night. Catarrh of the bad der, gravel, excess of uric acid, you may feel as though you have heart trouble. Rheumatism, bloating, dark circles under the eyes, weak stomach, poor digestion are unmistakable evidence that your kidneys need immediate attention.

SCHOOL BOYS SEND
 MESSAGE TO KRUGER
Remarkable Demonstration by
 Children in Philadelphia.
THE MESSENGER BOY STARTS
He Will Proceed Directly to South Africa and Will Deliver the Mes sage to President Kru-
 ger in Person

Philadelphia, April 9-One of the great est demonstrations of sympathy both in the number of participants and in enthus- iasm displayed ever shown in this city for any foreign nation, took place tonight when the academy of music was jammed with people for the purpose of taking part in the Philadelphia school boys pro-Boer rally. The primary object of the gather ing was to send message of greeting to President Kruger, signed by 22,0OO pupils of the schools of this city. So great was the crush, mostly of the younger genera tion, that many thousands were unable to get near the doors, and the mass of struggling people was entertained by music outside while the meeting inside was in progress.
 Judge William N. Ashman of the Or phans court of this city, presided, and those who addressed the meeting were Webster Davis, w. Bourke Cochran, Ex- District Attorney George H. Graham of this city; F. Louter Vessels, of Bloem- fontein, and Thomas J. Meek, a pupil of the high school of this city. Edwin Mark ham, the poet recited his "Ode to Lin coln." Three hundred singers of the United Singing Societies of Philadelphia sang the Transvaal "Volkslied" and American pa triotic songs.
 After the speech-making was over, James F. Smith, 16-year-old messenger boy was called to the stage by means of the regulation call box, and was given the message signed by the school boys, with instructions to proceed to Pretoria and to hand 1t personally to President Kruger. Tho messenger, accompanied by three high school boys, left for New York tonight, and tomorrow they will be rendered a re- ception at the Waldorf f-Astoria hotel by the students of the public schools of Greater New York On Wednesday the messenger will sail on the steamship St. Paul, and before the vessel reaches Southampton he will be taken off by a French tender and landed at Havre, France, in order to avoid English territory. The message to Presi- dent Kruger is as follows:
 We, the undersigned students of the public schools of Philadelphia, the city where our own forefathers enlisted in their splendid and successful struggle against English oppression, desire to eX- press to you and to the fighting men of the South African republic their great ad- miration for the genius and courage that has checked English invasion of the Transvaal, and the undersigned extend their most earnest wishes in a war in which the Boer cause is noble the English cause unjust''
 Delegations of school boys from New York and Boston attended the meeting.

There Are Minerals in Your Blood You Think You Belong to the Ami
 nal Kingdom

And so you debut your body contains min- erals that are absolutely needed to keep you in headth.
 You are like a quartz mine There are veins of phosphorus sulphur, magnesia, calcium, iron in your blood.
 They are nerve and tissue foods just as starch and meat are. What we call "poor" blood is nearly always the lack of one or more of these mineral physiological foods. The rich, red. strength and nerve power in good, healthy blood is due to its vein of iron
 Pale people are poor -blooded people. They lack strength and stamina. They are ner- vous. They catch cold easily. They suffer from headaches, rheuma tism, dizziness, sleeplessness, depression of spirits, fever, ague, general lack of health and vitality. They may build up an iron constitution with Harter's Iron Tonic.
 Swallowing an iron bar won't help you A chemical salt of iron is needed, so that it can go through the natural chemical pro- cesses of your body.
 pr. Harter's Iron Tonic, a medicine which contains a new salt of iron, is more easily dissolved into the blood and turned into strength than any other.
