Phillips Estate Contest.

The contest over the will of Henry
d. Phillips. of the town of Oak Grove,
was commenced before Judge Barney
last Tuesday and after the proponents
of the will made out their prina facia
case and some testimony was given
on the part of the contestants the
hearing was adjourned until February
Z. George w. Adams and Archer
White, two of the subscribing wit
nesses to the will, were sworn and
testified that in their opinion Mr..
Phillips was of sound disposing mind
at the time he executed the will in
their presence. They also stated that
the testator seemed to be under no re-
straint or duress. Attorney K. c..
Lewis, the other subscribing witness,
testified that he drew the will and
that Mr.. Phillips dictated the terms OF
the will. At that time September
21, 1900 he thought Mr.. Phillips
was competent to make will and
was doing so without any duress or
undue influence, but since that time
facts came into his possession which
made him believe that the old man
was unduly influenced Shortly be-
fore Mr.. Phillips died he sent word to
Mr.. Lewis that he wanted him TO
draw new will. but he had not time
to do so before his death.
In opening the case for the contest
ants Mr.. Pease said it was a remark
able case. He said they would show
that Phillips was unduly influenced by
his wife's relatives. That a short
time prior to his death Mr.. Phillips
asked the hired girl, Mary Duzinski
to bring him small trunk in which
he kept his private papers. He took
out the will and told her to burn it
and when she went to do so she was
prevented by Mr.. Phillips sister-in-
law. The girl was called as wit
ness and testified that the paper ap-
peared very much like the will. She
was told by the woman not to burn
it.
The contestants claim that under
the evidence Mr.. Phillips revoked the
will and dieu supposing it was burned,
1t developed IN the testimony that
Mrs. Fordham held a note due her
from Mr.. Phillips dated last Septem-
Der for $4,000, that Mrs. Bennett
held contract for $4,000 and Nor
man Seeley one for $4,000, both
signed November 5. Mr.. Phillips
did not mention to Mr.. Lewis when
he drew the will that he had out
standing debts against him. The
notes and legacies to his wife's rela-
tiveS if allowed to stand will consume
practically all of the estate and leave
nothing for Mr.. Phillips blood rela-
tives. DR.. Dewey, Of the Milwaukee
sanitarium, where Mr.. Rhillips.. was
for three weeks in July, thought he
was not competent to make will. =

Pneumonia Can bo Prevented,

This disease always results from cold

Life On the Pacific Coast.

The following extract from private
letter of J. A. Roman, who moved to
Missouri from Cecil county, several years
ago, will be of interest to many readers OF
the MIdLAND JOURNAL:
"We pulled up stakes in Missouri about
the goth of November, and in three days
were in Portland, Oregon, from where
the electric car soon landed us at this
place Oregon City,.
'You see the election settled the dead
issues Triumphant Imperialism is to
manifest itself on these western shores.
Here it is to meet the skirmish line of the
Social Democracy, and if live trust to
see the oncoming of this force from the

suburb of Oregon City, with enough
scenery and other good things like plank
roads, school houses, quiet neighbors,
churches, Cinnamon, widows, etc., etc.,

'This0whole coast is working itself into
sort of galvanic boom. The spectators
and the politicians are jerking their legs,
arms and tongues; the bankersare raking
in the sheckels, the wood.cutters, the
mill men, the mud-sills, are hard at work.
The mill hands work night and day,
changing weekly. This smakes them
sleep well, of course. They are mostly
young men, and as one of them expressed
it, men with large breast measure and

An extra session of the Maryland Lei

An extra session Oh tue MdIylduu Leg
islature is being talked up by the Demo
cratic side and down by the Republican
side. The Democrats want the colored
brother disfranchised, because lie is moth
ing more or less than convenient party
merchandise for the Republicans, and
they propose using cuffy to secure and
hold forever complete control ofthe State.
The Democrats allege that conspiracy
is ON foot to colonize the State with North
Carolina negroes and make it solid, and
it is more than probable there is more
truth than fiction in the report.
If an extra session is called to b1yl6
the ballot box, we hope it will be done
decently and in constitutional manner
and no whipping the devil round the
stump like Mississippi. Louisiana, North
Carolina and other States, but disfran
chise all under forty years of age, white
and black, who cannot read and write
their names.
Many of the old fellows over forty may
be old vets and should be permitted te
vote, even if for only the honor of it, but
a man under forty years old has no excuse
for not being able to read. The public
schools have been open TO him, and even
if his education has been neglected, if he
has manhood enough to desire to vote
without being paid for doing SO he may
readily learn to read, and if he is too lazy
oil" worthless TO learn when the induce
ment is SO great, he ought not to be
allowed to put his brainless ballot in the
box. The educational qualification line
should be drawn and now is as good a
time to begin as any in future, and this is
as mild as it should be drawn.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

By local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eustach-
ian Tube. When this tube is inhamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed.
Deafness is the result, and unless the in
Illumination can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

Danger of Colds and La Grippe.

The greatest danger from colds and la
grippe is their resulting i'll pneumonia. II
reasonable care is used, however, and
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy taken, all
danger will be avoided. Among the tens
of thousands who have used this remedy
for these diseases we have yet to learn OF
a single case having resulted iii pneumo-
mia, which shows conclusively that it is a
certain preventive of that dangerous
malady. 1t will cure cold or an attack
of la grippe in less time than any oth.r
treatment. 1t is pleasant and safe to take.

Municipal Reform.

Municipal reform It's as old as the
tariff, and serves the 'reformers" as we'll
as the tariff serves the politicians. Both
are arrant humbugs in the light they are
pursued Just now there is a revival of
municipal reform" in New York and
Philadelphia. A few nights ago rous-
ing municipal reform meeting was held
in the Academy of Music in Philadelphia
Bishop Potter spoke and other clerical
reformers. The building was packed with
the leading people, the elite of the great
city. Enthusiasm ran mountain high.
Resolutions strong as acquefortes or con-
deused lye were passed with shout.
The political misgovernment of the city
was denounced with the most mon.
partisan" emphasis. Blackmailing, gam
bling dens, saloons and brothels all came
in for their share of the general anath-
amatism.
These reform outbreaks which occur
periodically in Philadelphia, New York
and other large cities are but attempts to
kill the deadly upas tree by clipping the
exuberant top branches, while the root is
left undisturbed.
Just now it is the political corruption
that is being attacked in Philadelphia
and New York. In Philadelphia the
municipal government has for genera
ton or more been under Republican
party control. New York city is under
Democratic party control and both
municipal governments are equally bad.
What else could reasonably be ex-
pected? Last fall the banks and cor
porations of these and other large cities,
contributed millions-twenty to fifty
millions-to corrupt to electoral of the
country. This was done openly, not in
corner.
Wall street and every stock market i'll
the country is gambling institution on
mammoth scale. These and similar
broad gauge institution which promote
Speculation" (gambling) set the pace.
To get money, no matter how, SO that the
law against petty thieving is not infringed
upon, or technically violated, it goes.
This kind of business sets the pace.
The municipal black mailer sees no
practical difference In his holding up the
low haunt of vice aud demanding a con-
sideration for not seeing them, or of
plundering the municipal treasury by
circuitous expenditures than in getting
money by cornering stocks, betting by
margins, ETC., in the exchanges. The
petty thieves, burglars and all grades of
crime draw their inspiration from these
high grade specializing institutions and
see no moral difference, and if they can
escape the meshes of the law that is all
they have to guard against
These great corporation systems ioS
the people by special laws and poverty,
straitened circumstances incite to every
grade of vice. The SO, rec of crime that
gnaws at the heart of our civilization,
which the "reformers' are up in arms
against, is never touched or complained
of by them; in fact it is fostered and COIL
sidered honorable, but they turn out
periodically and clip the little branches
of the great pestilential tree that become
too exuberant, forced by the rank, rich
soil Of our social system its roots are
planted in.

The nervousness manifested by Hanna
and the other conspirators to rush the

from the fear that congress will discover
the monster snake the bill contains before

monster in the shape of marine trust
which casts all other trusts, except the
