WIDEMANN HtIRS
ARE TO BE PAID
Court Orders a Settlement and
the Discharge of
Trustees.

With the signing of decree filed yes
provisions of the will and the desires of
the heirs to the estate OF the late Judge
Widemann were entirely carried out,
and the executors of the estate discharg-
ed from further liability arising out of
and by virtue of said trust.
In the action brought by Henry Mac
farlane, Frederick w. Macfarlane and
John NJ. Dowsett, as trustees under the
will of Herman A. Widemann, deceased.
VS.. Emile Macfarlane, Martha Berger,
Herman A. Widemann, Anna Widemann,
Alwine Conradt, Carl Widemann, Wilhel-
nina Dowsett and Gertrude E. LAM, the
plaintiffs, as executors, asked the court
to make a division of the property; the
death of Mrs. Widemann removing all OBJ
stacles in the way of a speedy ADJUST
ment. The decree states, that the truS-
tees have paid ali the legacies referred
to in said will, and there is a residuary
ESTATE in their hands of cash on hand oil
$12, 693 g. two paid-up life insurance poll
cies of the total amount of s1,S10," and
several notes. All the children are liv-
ing except Otto, the eldest son, who, il
appears, was sent by his father to Ger
many TO be educated, and since thai
time has not returned to the Hawaiian
Islands 1t also appearing that said Otto
Widemann was heard from from time tt
time in different parts of the German EN-
/ ire until about the year 1871, when al
trace of him was lost, and it appearing
thereafter that diligent search was made
by his said father to find Otto, yet these
efforts We're abandoned by the father ant
family more than fifteen years ago IL
the belief that Otto Widemann was de
ceased, and .'thereupon the court md:
the said Otto Widemann deceased"
| There seems a strong probability tha
the eldest son was drawn into the vorts,
1of the war which ragged between sief
many and France in that memorable
year of 1sT1 and that as a soldier in tn
ranks of the ARMIES of the German Enl
iperor, the son berished on the battle
field.
| The court has ordered and decreed tina
the trustees pay over TO the defendant

THE NEW NAVAL WEAPON

The recent exploits OF the Gustave
zede the French submarine boat have
induced NJ. Camille Pelletan to examine
the subject Of the adoption of sub
marine boats by the French Naval De-
partment. Writing in the Eclair, he is
extremely severe in his criticism on
the conduct of the official naval en-
gineers, who, he shows, did their ut
most to throw discredit on the idea of
submarine navigation till the inven-
tors carried the day against them. Now
however, those same official naval en-
gineers are, he says. seeking to OBJ
tain for themselves the honor due to
the perseverance Of the authors Of the
various types.
1t must not, however, be imagined
that NJ. Camille Pelletan INDUCES in
any illusions relative to the perfection
Of those vessels and the service they are
capable of rendering in case Of real
warfare.
He says: "As for the Gustave Zede,
she could only go to discharge a tor
pedo against an ironclad on condition
of being accompanied by a tug. That
means they would have been both des-
trOyed
I'VE are told that the tug was there
only as a companion, and not to tow
the submarine boat. That is too much
Of a joke. Moreover, the contrary was
confessed i'm the first notes communicat-
ed to the press. Who could ever have
invented the idea Of having a boat des-
tined to fight, accompanied by a boat
incapable Of defending herself? What
a bitter criticism for a war vessel to say
that it requires a nurse to take it to the
scene Of battle. 1t is impossible to
support such an assertion. If a tug
was given to the Gustave Zede it was
to tow her"
NJ. Camille, nevertheless, believes the
French submarine boats to be formid-
able weapons, and says that so long as
nothing better is invented France
should go on building as many as posi-
bic and as quickly as possible. He con-
tends they are useful, but that none Of
the existing French submarine vessls
can claim to have long range of ac-
ton.
We have our submarine boats in the
Holland type, and other countries will
follow When the rifle met the musket
the latter retired. When the ironclad
met the wooden wall the latter retired,
but all nations got rifles and ironclads
and the advantage remained to none.

The rule published by DR.. Cofer that
newspaper files may be lowered to press
boats before the medical examination of
steamers from the Coast has been COM
pleted is a very satisfactory one, and
will he highly appreciated by a public
which is always hungry for news. Res

and Australia do not affect us so much,
though we sometimes get important in
telligence via the Orient. The news Of
McKinley's first election reached us by

The Chinese trouble is by no means
ended The Western troops have prac-
tically evacuated China, and now the
Chinese factions are having a little
fun among themselves. The work of
making the Chinese understand the
power of the Western nations will all
have to be done over again. The
fact is that in dealing with China
the Western nations act from the
standpoint of the Western ciyiliza-
ton which the Chinese regard with
contempt and consider barbarous. 1t
is very much the attitude which the
Christians and the Saracens regarded
one another, and each used to break
faith with the other. The difficulties
with China appear insoluble at present.

A BLACKSMITH'S STRANGE Ex.
PERIENCE.

Goodland, Kan, June 3.-N. E. Al
bertson, our leading blacksmith, has
been great sufferer from Rheuma-
tism. He was so bad that he could not
sleep for the great pain in his arms
and shoulders. He had been afflicted
for years, but lately he was SO much
worse, that he thought he would have
to give up his shop altogether.
Then strange thing happened. A
friend of his recommended new med
icine called Dodd's Kidney Pills, said
to be cure for rheumatism. He
commenced to use them and at once
began to recover. His pain has all left
him, and he is q well man to-day, and
entirely free from any symptom Of
Rheumatism.
To say he is thankful, is putting it
very mildly. He is delighted.
Dodd's Kidney Pills deserve great
credit for having cured this very Sc
we're and almost hopeless case.
From recent reports, there does not
seem to be anything that they will not
cure, as very bad cases of Bright's Dis
ease, Diabetes, Dropsy, Rheumatism,
and Heart Trouble, have been cured by
Dodd's Kidney Pills, even after hav-
ing been given up by the best doctors.
