THE RICE WILL.
Question as to Validity Is Again
 Brought Up in Court.

New York, February 19.-The question of the validity of the will executed by the late William M. Rice in 1896, which is disputed by his heirs at law, as we'll as by Albert T. Patrick was again up in the Surrogate's Court today. The hear ing was on an application by John T. oBrien. temporary administrator for the estate, for the examination of Capt. A. J. Baker, one of the executors of the 1896 will, and the temporary administrator appointed in Texas over the Texas prop erty of Rice. Decision was reserved.
 Julien T Davies. counsel for O'Brien, said the proceeding was brought to dis cover property of which information was withheld by Captain Baker, the value of which had been estimated at over T,000,- 000 Captain Baker was a resident of Houston, Texas, and had all the infor- nation required.
 'When we applied to Captain Baker for this information" said MT. Davies, i've were informed by him that he had been appointed temporary administrator in the Texas courts of the property there, and we say that his appointment is void and ask that he make full disclosure as to MT Rices property"

There is disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by
it-heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure
or apoplexy are often the result of kidney
disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to ad-
vance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness of the blood-the albumen
leaks out and the sufferer has Bright's
Disease, the worst form of kidney trouble.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-ROot the new dis
covery is the true specific for kidney, bladder
and urinary troubles. 1t has cured thousands
of apparently hopeless cases, after all other
efforts have failed. At druggists in ffty-cent
and dollar sizes. A sample bottle sent free
by mail, also book telling about Swamp
Root and its wonderful cures. Address
Dr.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. and
mention this paper.

yield of sugar beets was increased thir-
ty percent.
One of the latest inventions is an
electrical sheep pen, at Lansing, Michi-
gan, by which much feed is saved in
the pasturing of sheep. Another ma
chine has been invented by which the
farmer, when he rises in the morning,
touches button and instantly guam
tity Of feed is let down into each horses
trough.
The quick growth of electricity has
in twenty years reyolutionized trade,
says the New York Times. 1t is a little
over twenty years since electric lights
were first used commercially; now they
are in almost universal use and con-
stantly growing in popular favor.
We believe that we are just in the
infancy of the powers and possibilities
of electricity in its relation to both the
physical and spiritual things of life,
and the next twenty years will unfold
and reveal more wonderful truths than
the past twenty has done.
All light, heat, and force in nature is
electricity in some form. 1t is the me-
dunn and agency of creative power in
the evolution and government of the
universe. 1t is the medium and con-
Meeting link between spirit and sub
stance, soul and body, mind and mat
ter, dust and deity, God and the uni
verse. 1t has been said that "Man con-
trolls his body as God docs the universe
by electric magnetic currents, aad that
death so called, is the separation of the
spiritual body from the physical" The
physical body then returns to it's natu
raj elements, and the spiritual body
goes like flash of electricity to the
realm of departed spirits.
Man is both dust and deity; his body
of the earth, his soul part of the God
who gave it. The Deity within man
mounts heavenward, and he feels with
in his soul the benedictions of good
and recogiZes that the object of life is
not happiness, but usefulness.
1t has been said that the worlds toll
ers and benefactors reach the noun
tain tops.
WHO noblv does must nobly think
The soul that scars can never sink"
There is but one eternal spirit, and
every human soul is an atom of that
spirit. There is but one matter, and
all material things are created there
from. We believe there is but one in
controlling all matter, and that force
is electricity.
Man is indeed the strange connecting
link between dust and Deity, and life
once begun never ends, 1t may change
its form; but when this change comes
who shall say whether it has been a
success or failure? The struggling
soul that battles with times tempest
ueous pillows in the raging of its surg
ing seas, goes down battling with all
his strength. Is this failure? Anoth-
er may glide smoothly on to wealth
and fame. Is this success?
Were the heroes of Thermopalae
who went down before the invading
millions of their country's foes, fail
ures? Were Socrates, who drank the
deadly poison, and the perfect Christ,
who suffered the ignominies of earth,
failures? No: the world must learn
deeper wisdom than the aphorism,
Nothing succeeds like success" He
who fails though worthy of success, is
a greater success than he who succeeds
and is unworthy of it.

Persons who suffer from indigestion
cannot expect to live long, because
they cannot eat the food required to
nourish the body, and the products of
the undigested foods they do eat poi
son the blood, 1t is important to cure
indigestion as soon as possible, and the
best method of doing this is to use the
preparation known as Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure. 1t digests what you eat and re-
stores all the digestive organs to per-
feet health. Grant Holden.
