A powerful engine cannot be run

keep up the strain OF an active life
with weak stomach; neither can
we stop the human machine to make

digest enough food to keep the body
strong, such a preparation as Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure should be used. 1t

4 Will to be Contested.

On Friday the will of Mrs Mary F.
Shirley, decd, of the Park Hotel was
probated and letters testamentary were
granted to Theodore H B. Humes.
Mr.. Humes was also named as an ex-
ecutor in the will but renounced in
favor of her husband
The same day Joseph p Shirley.
husband of the deceased, through Col
Thompson, gave notice to Recorder
Adams that he ignored the will alto
gether and refused to take under its
provisions. The will had been written
June 20 by Attorney H. L. Graham and
was witnessed by Mr.. Graham and A
NJ. Campbell, clerk at the Hotel In It
Mrs. Shirley gave her husband s. and
left all her personal estate and the
Park Hotel property, title to which was
in her name, to the adopted daughter
Mary GLADYS Shirley, little girl Of
three years. Miss Lavina Mckinney OF
Piqua o.. sister of the deceased, WAS
named as the child's guardian.
The will will probably not stand the
test of law, as husband cannot be de-
prived of his curtsey, just as a wife
cannot be deprived of dover, but the
amount he can obtain from the estate
is materially lessened. If Mrs Shirley
had died lntestate, her personal property
would have been divided equally be-
tween her adopted daughter and Mr.. :.
and the latter wonld have the use or
rents issue and profits of the real estate
for life. Under the Act of 1855 the
husband can elect to take as against his
wife's will the same interest as a wife
can as against her husbands will ex
cepting the $500 exemption or he can
take only her real estate by curtesy
This enables Mr.. Shirley to take one
third of the personal estate absolutely
and one third interest in the real estate
for life or he can let the personal estate
go and have the whole use Of the hotel
for life, the title finally going to the
little adopted daughter. Mr.. = Shirley
has signed an agreement TO have the
license transferred to Mr.. Humes, the
executor.

life. Among other things Mr.. Miller
said that he had been born and reared
in Christian home, but left that home
and its teachings at the age of IL and
entered the army to serve his country.
1T would have been far better" said
Mr.. Miller. 'tif Mr. Martin had been

sent home for burial in cheap pine
coffin furnished by the government"
