A CELEBRATED CASE,
Testimony Being Heard by Judge Fish in
case of woodward VS.. Collier.


In the Circuit court at Racine yester-
day Judge Fish heard testimony in the
case Of Betsy Woodward VS.. Richard
Collier, deceased, suit being brought
to recover 5000 on notes. 1t appears
that on July 20, 1897, Richard Collier,
a resident of the town of Somers, was
killed while engaged IN hauling hay.
He left an estate valued at about $1O,-
900. There was no will, at least none
was found. Betsie Woodward claimed
70 be daughter of the deceased and
ne1d his notes for 5000. She also filed
a claim in the Kenosha county court
for services as house-keeper for a
period of twenty years, the claim
amounting to $1,1OO. The Keposha
county court allowed her So, 900 on both
notes and the claim as hOuse-keeper.
Mr.. Tucker, the administrator, APP
pea1ed to the circuit court and yester-
day Judge Fish heard the testimony.
The Judge refused to allow one note
for $500 in evidence, as it showed that
it had been altered on it's face. Most
of the testimony pertains to what work
Betsy Woodward performed as house
keeper. Attorney Fisher, of Kenosha,
and J. B. Simmons, of Racine, appear
for the plaintiff, and Kearney &
Thompson for the estate.

THERE are two presidential tickets al
ready in the field, and several more are
to be put in in the next few months. The
Social Democrats, whoever they are NOM
mated Debs for President and man
named job Hartman for Vice President
the other day in indianapolis. About a
year and half ago, or on September 6.
1888, the radical branch of the Populists
put Donnelly and Wharton Baker in the
field for President and Vice president re-
spectiyely, at convention in Cincinnati.
The two present sections of the Populists
will go through the motions of nominat-
ing some person or persons on May 8, one
of the branches meeting at Cincinnati
and the other at Sioux Falls, Dakota.
The Republicans will meet in Philadel-
phia on June 10, and the Democrats in
Kansas City on July 4. Several other
parties will also put up candidates. There
is no reason to suppose the supply of ma
tional tickets this year will be any small
er than it was four years ago.

The Lum ber and Timber Interests.

One of the trade papers commenting
upeu the present conditions of the lum-
ber trade in this neighborhood, has the
following:
''The state of the lumber business is
well illustrated by conditions that pre-
vail this spring. Although prices are at
an unprecedented high figure and the de-
mand is more active than 1t has been for
years and the RATS this year will aggre-
gate less than they did last. Well in
formed dealers in lumber estimate the
probable arrivals on the spring floods at
about l, 100000 cubic feet of pine and as
much hemlock and oak, of which the lat
ter will not amount to over 100000 cubic
feet. The output of hemlsck is limited
this year, although the price is high out
of all proportion to the price of other tim
ber.
"All the stuff that comes to Pittsburg
by river is in the form of square logs.
Sawed lumber is not shipped to any ex-
tent. A few boat bottoms may be floated
down with boards piled upon them, but
they are'so few in number that they do
not cut any figure in the market. Timber
is measured by the cubic foot, but this is
easily translated into board feet by null
tiplying by II. A cubic foot of timber,
however, will not cut ~ feet of boards
owing TO the waste, and in making esti-
mates of price the product of cubic foot
is estimated at eight board feet. There
fore the output of pine, in board feet will
be about $500, 900 feet.
"This is worth on the river. about Is
cents cubic foot for the inferior grades
and % cents for the best. Using 20 cents
as the average price the value of the pine
alone would be $4,000 The 5000, 600
cubic feet of hemlock worth II cents a
foot will amount to SlOs, 900 and the oak,
valued at about 10 cents will be worth
S45, 600, giving a total of 1858 600. This is
exclusive of few boat bottoms and per-
haps little sawed stuff, as well as other
miscellaneous items that will swell the
total to 100000.
Among the firms of more importance
that will ship this lumber are W. A.

most favorable conditions possible the
RATS would run down from Clarion in
three days, but it rarely happens that the
