OF Odd Fellows Is In Session In
Marion.

Marion, o., May 21.-The Ohio grand
lodge of Odd Fellows is holding its
SEVENTEEN annual session in this city
and a program has been arranged for

lie entertainment at the Opera house,

made for the city and the various To-
cal Odd Fellow bodies. Grand Master

standing committees, a memorial SER
vice was held, and the grand lodge de.
gree was conferred upon a class of

"INDIGNANT"
OLD LADIES
May Not Get Bequest intended d
For Them.

Grand Rapids, Mich, May PIE. l..
Mcdonald, a lumberman, who died
in April, intended to have his wealth
used to establish home for INDECENT
old women at Fairmont, Ind, but
whoever drafted his will spelled it
indignant old women" and this err
ror may defeat the testator's object.
There is another defect in the will
almost as serious. When Mcdonnell
made it he was engaged to Miss Flora
M. Newton, of Syracuse, N. Y, and
he named her as beneficiary to the
amount of $1,000. This engagement
was broken, and when subsequently
Miss Virginia Pratt, of Cincinnati,
promised to marry him he substituted
her name for Miss Newton's without
advising one of the witnesses to the
testament. These defects furnish
grounds for contest to break the
will.
Mcdonnell left $4,000 to immediate
relatives, $4,000 to Miss Pratt and
the residue, about $4,000, to the ''in-
dignant' old ladies' home.

ton In Fact.

gro, was convicted Of criminal assault

children, and had accumulated con-
siderable property.
w. p. Burbage, on whose plantation
in 1873, recently heard of his being
in the penitentiary. and has presented
such case of conspiracy and black
mail that today Governor McSweeney
granted Washington full pardon,
and he has returned to his family in
Augusta.
Affiidavits and testimony presented
by Mr.. Burbage show that Anna
Blount had been the companion of
Washington for year or more, but
became infatuated with disreputable
white man. Washington would not
leave the community, where he had
some property, so to get him removed
the woman brought the charge against
him. After he was arrested she com.
municated with Washington through
Mrs. Blount, agreeing to withdraw
the charge If he would pay her Ger.
tain sum of money and leave that
county. This Washington refused tc
do.
Mr.. Burbage was working up evi
dence in behalf of Washington when
he escaped from prison 26 years ago

"NO FRILLS"
Just Sensible Food Cured
Him.

Sometimes a good, healthy CONNER
cial traveller suffers from poorly Sc
Iected food and is lucky if he knows
that Grape-Nuts Breakfast Food will
put him right.
A Cincinnati traveller. John N. Case,
Jr. says: about year ago my stom-
ach got in a bad way. | had head
ache most of the time and suffered
misery. For several months / ran
down until I lost about 20 pounds in
weight and finally had to give up
good position and go home. Any food
that / might use seemed to nauseate
me.
My wife hardly knew what to do
until one day she brought home a
package of Grape-N Nuts and coaxed ME
to try them. I told her it was no use
but finally to humor her tried little
and they just struck my taste. 1t
was the first food that / had eaten in
nearly year that did not cause any
suffering.
Wells to make long story short,
began to improve and stuck to Grape
Nuts. I went up from 1876 pounds on
December oath 1900, to 1914 pounds on
Oct. 9Th, 1901.
My brain is clear, blood all
right, and appetite too much
for any mans pocketbook. In fact,
j am thoroughly made over and owe it
all to Grape-Nuts. 1 talk SO much
about what Grape Nuts will do that
some of the men on the road have nick
named me Grape Nuts but l stand
today a healthy, rosy-cheeked man,
a pretty good example of what the
right kind Of food will do.

leans-and has lost contracts in them
1T became evident that it was not to
have in this city such high prices and
lack of competition under the new city
administration as under Tammany.
There may have been other contribut-
ing causes to the downfall of the trust,
and these, as well as the possibility of
reorganization, will soon be known.
The insolvency of the trust, 1T was
pointed out today by counsel connected
with the proceedings leading up to the
receivership, is not to be ascribed al
together to a falling off in the earn.
ing power of the various subsidiary OPP
Grating companies. When National
Asphalt was absorbed by Asphalt of
America a sort of sinking fund was
established from which interest on the
Asphalt Of America certificates could
be paid when the dividends of the con
stituent companies did not come in at
the convenient time or failed to come
in at all. That the trust was able to.
pay it's fixed rate of interest for a con-
siderable period, though 1T a not do
so now, does not necessarily mean that
the companies which make and lay as

Morrow was born OF poor parents in

DEAD MAN COMES TO LIFE.
James Morrow Declared Legally Dead
by Courts Returns to Old Haunts.

~ "
New York, Jan. 3.-After an absence
Of nearly thirty years in Illinois and
Wisconsin, during which he was official
ly declared e by a justice of the SUI
preme court, James Morrow, nephew
Of William Mcmahon, who made more
than $400, 900 during his management OF
the Haymarket in the '70's, and who died
two years ago, leaving Morrow a bene-
ficiary of his will, has r~eappeared, as
tho from the grave. He ask thai he be
declared to be among the land Of the liv-
ing, that he may participate in the dis
tribution Of his uncle's wealth, his share
of which amounts to about $50, 900.
Mr.. Morrow's son., Samuel H. Morrow,
now a mar of nearly 80 years, and who
never saw his father, recently laid claim
to the deceased McMahon's money and
succeeded in obtaining an order from
the court declaring him to be one of the
legal heirs.
Whether a man who has been legally
declared dead by a recognized court can
assert a claim to anything in which his
interests as a living person would be
concerned Is the question that the courts
must decide. Morrow has filed an appli-
cation with Judge Scott to have himself
declared alive, and Judge Scott has
transferred the hearing Of the plaintiffs
petition to Judge Gildersleve, who will
listen to testimony in the case Monday.

way for Cuba to escape the absolute
ruin of these two industries, which are
