Contest Threatened.
The Will of Alexander Moore
May Get into the Courts.


When proofs of will of the last will
of Alexander Moore, the pioneer OF
Sank Centre who died some weeks
ago, are opened insthe probate court
on January "a, says the ST. Cloud
Journal Press, it is probable that OBJ
jections will be. filed on the part OF
one of the disinherited heirs, Mrs
Carrie Johnson, a daughter Of the de-
ceased.
Mrs. Johnson, who for many years
was resident of Minneapolis and had
wide acquaintance, is now a resi-
dent of Fosston, and Ole J. Naule, a
Crookston attorney, is in the city in
her behalf. Mr.. Vaule was at the
probate court making inquiries as to
the papers in the case, and intimated
to the court that when the will came
up for hearing he would offer objec-
tions to its probate.
The will of the deceased left the
property in trust to M. Hogan, who
was named as trustee, to be DIVIDED
within ten years among three persons,
Mrs. Lovicy G. Moore, the wife, Mrs.
Jessie Robertson, daughter. and
Alice A. Moore, a grand daughter.
In the event that the death of any OF
these occurred before the decedsnt,
the share of the dead was to go to the
surviving heirs. Mrs. Lovicy c..
Moore died a year ago and the estate,
after some minor requests and lega-
cies, goes to the surviving daughter
and granddaughter mentioned above.
In the petition for probate the value
of the estate is approximated at $780,
900. but it is common report that
The estate is worth easily double this
Gum. and some people conversant with
The property declare it easily valued
at $3.50, 900.
Mrs Carrie johnson is cut off with
y legacy of SO as is also a son, Lind
ley b. Moore, while Triphena A. Ben
net, widow OF Geo. NJ. Bennett, a
laughter, gets similar amount, che
having already been vel provided
for. Mr.. Bennett is left the gold
headed cane of the decedent and the
best horse on his farms, while Chas.
Bennett Moore ard William A. Moore;
srandsons. and Georgia A. Bennett, a
granddaughter, are each left $4,000.
Tie clause in the will in which Mrs.
j Johnson is disinherited indicates that
doing when he made the will.
If the will can be broken, Mrs
] Johnson will receive one-fourth inter-
est in the big estate, and she possibly
considers the prize worth fighting for.

AFFAIRS IN PHILIPPINES

Washington, Nov. San interesting
feature of the Speakership contest is
the declaration of Representative Bah
cock that the people desire to live un-
der Republican administration in ell
its branches, and that the people expect
the Republican party in the next con-
gress to undertake tariff revision. He
says that had the country elected a
Democratic congress it would have pre-
vented tariff revision, but having elected
a Republican congress, it means that
they want the tariff revised by it's
friends, and an adjustment of an
equitable nature to be made.
Babcock has not announced himself
as Speakership candidate, but his
close friends are advising members not
to commit themselves, and there is a
great deal of talk in his favor. He is
put in the list of possible candidates
along with Cannon, Dalzell, Littlefeld j,
Sherman and Payne. If Babcock g
candidacy is pushed it will mean that
he is being presented by those Republi-
cans who desire a moderate tariff re-
vision. He is not as we'll equipped for
the Speakership as either Cannon or
Dalzell, Sherman or Llttefald, in'so far
as knowledge of the rules and presiding
over the house goes, and his candidacy
will be almost wholly pressed on the
ground that new deal and "turn
down" of the old regime, which he's
dominated the affairs of the House for
so many years, are demanded.

Vice-Governor Wright Says Gov

ernment Works Well.
Honolulu, Nov. 1.-The transport
Sumner arrived shere October 80, en-
route to San Francisco, with General A +.
r. Chaffee and ViceG overnor Luke e.
Wright, of the Philippines, on board.
The steamer passed through terrible
experience in a typhoon soon after lsav-
ing Manila. She lost one of her boats
and had several damaged. and for a
number of hours was in grave danger.
In an interview published by the Com
mercial Advertiser, Governor Wright
had the following to say OF conditions
in the Philippines and their future:
"The developments following the I'm
auguration of the civil government of
the islands have been most satisfactory.
We have now civil government almost
everywhere, and the people seem. to he
learning it's advantages. The;system of
provincial and municipal government
has worked well. During thespast year
there has not been a single defalcation
and very few thefts. The government
is strictly one of civil service.
"There is degree of peace and safe
ty in the Philippines nowl'that was
never reached under the Spanish rule.
The Spsniards used to pay the >brigands
to keep the peace, and We have refused
to continue this system. After the pas
sage of the Philippines bill last year
~e established the insular constabulary,
and We now have 60OO'of these police
We find that they are the best men for
the business, and they have cleared the
provinces of lawbreakers with great
rspidity. The service is one which sp-

peals to the natives for the police are
chosen from the tribes where they must
serve.
"The future of the islands will be q
great one. What is needed most are
railroads, and these may be built soon
by American capital. There is a trunk
line on the Island of Luzon now under
consideration, and it's building will help
matters greatly"
Governor Wright also said he deemed
the return of the friars the best thing
for the islands, and he expected that
the pope would send a representative to
appraise the church lands In the
Philippines.

NEW IOWA FIGHT.
Henderson AnnOunc es That lac Will
Come Out for Governor.


WASHINGTON, Nov. THE story
comes from Iowa that Speaker Hender-
son has announced himself for Governor
of that state in opposition to Cummins.
Henderson has said privately that Cum.
Minis opposition to him and the many
annoyances the Governor subjected him
to caused HIM to get out OF the Congress-
ional fight. 1t is SAID that Henderson,
in order to vindicate himself, will make
the campaign on the protection issue as
againts Cummins ,and his tariff revision
idea.
There is an intimation that Henderson
has combined with Secretary Shaw in
this fight, although considerable doubt
is cast upon this statement, as it is be-
lieyed that Shaw would hesitate before
entering such a combination while re-
naming in President Roosevelts Cabi-
net. The President could not allow his
Administration to be identified with any
such factonal fight. 1t may be that
Shaw has recognized his unfitness for
the Treasury portfolio and is getting
ready to retire. He has been compelled
by some force to rescind his order regard
ing security for Government deposits,
an act which caused great deal of crit
icsm at the time.
Many financiers have represented to
President Roosevelt that Shaw paved
the way for an infationist at the head OF
the Treasury Department to work great
harm by accepting any kind of bonds in
place of Government securities.

December DelineatOr.

A magazine 80 years old. The Christ
mas (December) number of the Deln-
Gator is also the Thirtieth Anniversary
Number. To do justice to this number,
which for beauty and utility touches the
highest mark, it would be necessary to
print the entire list of contents. 1t is
sufficient to state that in it the best
writers and artists are generally repre-
sented. The book contains over go
pages, with "a full page illustrations, Of
which 20 are in two or more colors. The
magnitude OF this December number,
for which 72S tons of paper and six tons
of ink have been used, may be under
derstood from the fact that 81 presses
running ii hours day, have been re-
quired to print it; the binding alone OF
the edition of 9l5, 600 copies represent
ing over q, ,O0O, 900 sections which had
to be gathered individually by human
hands.

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
conSumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott sEmulsionis themod-
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phites in Scott'S Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.

ripping mass of shining hair.
Mothers is just like mine, only it
is little fady here and there. You
will take my hair, won't you? Please
do; it will surely grow again, and my
brother needs things so very, very
much; the doctor says SOL"
The man led her into back room
and himself cut the glossy locks, lay
ing each curl carefully down. Then
he called man who wore a white
apron and gave the little shorn head
into his charge.
Il believe that you are prettier than
before" the kind man said, when the
hairdresser had finished. Then he laid
little roll of bills in the child's hand
and bade her be careful not to lose it
on her way home.
Annie hurried home. When she ar
rived mother was reading to Teddy,
and Annie crept in like little mouse.
She removed her hat carefully, so as
not to spoil the hairdresser's work,
then dropped the bills in her mothers
lap, with "a Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year, mammal"
"Ohi" screamed Teddy
"Oh!" screamed mother, as they both
saw and knew all.
"How could you, Annie?" they both
cried at once; but the child looked as
pretty as ever.
"How came you to think of it, my
| poor baby?" asked the mother.
Its for wine-wine is better than
curls any day." answered Annie; then,
turning to Teddy, she Rugged him in
joy and said, softly: "Get well, Ted
dy, and pay me back some day!'

the city, and all the shops were af1ame
with light and brightness. Annie gaZed
wistfully at the pretty things in the
great windows; she was but a little
maid, and could not help wishing for
pretty things for herself and for her
mother and Teddy.
But the wine-she must not linger;
she would only look in one more shop
and then-then she would seek the
great shop where wine was sold in bot
ties; surely the big, rosy-faced man
whom she had often noticed standing
in the doorway of his shop would listen
to her story of poor Teddy and give her
the wine.
So she stood before this last store-it
was a jewelry store-and, oh, how
beautiful the jewels looked sapphires
and rubies and diamonds-how they
glittered. The sight was enough to
fascinate older eyes than Annie's.
Presently something in one corner
of the window caught her gaze-it
wasn't jewel, it was a switch of love
ly hair; not one, but several, and be-
low them in pretty, shallow, satin
lined boxes were clusters of curls. A
sudden thought came to Annie; she
pressed her little hands together and
held her breath, then paused a mo-
ment to gain courage, and passed reso-
lutely into the great store. A kind
looking man came forward to meet her
and said: "What can I do for you, lit
tie lady?"
do you buy hair?" she asked.
sometimes, little one; why do you
ask?"
"Will you buy mine? See, I have
plenty!" she answered, taking off her
hat and shaking her curls down over
her shoulders, and looking up with
anxious eyes.
'But, my little girl, are your curls
yours to sell?"
"Oh, yes, sir; if you only knew why
1 must sell them, L am sure you would
buy them. Teddy is SO i'll that he needs
things, and mother" and here she
choked up so she could say no more.
"And you want to sell your beautiful

days to see her curls in their pretty
satin-lined case. After they had both
kissed her and thanked her over and
over again she crept away.
I'm glad 1 did it; but how lone
some my pretty cGris will bei'' said
the child.
But the curls were not at all lone
some. The kind man was looking at
them when one of the boys showed a
gentleman in. The visitor was a big
man and he had gentle eyes, though his
face was somewhat rough to look at
"I'm quite out of heart, Alfred; can
get no clew; but what's that you have

eyes, beautiful"
Then the kind man told all about the
she could have money to buy things for
the sick brother.
"Alfred, this hair is just the color of
Ellie's; could it be? Could it be Ellie's
child's hair?''
''She's coming here day after to-mor-
row to see her curls in their satin-lined
box; then if you will be here you can
find out who she is" answered the
jeweler.
Sure enough. Annie came to see her
curls as they looked ready for sale; she
wanted to see the box. While she was
admiring it and telling about Teddy,
ard how the wine was doing him good,
the stranger with the gentle eyes ar
rived. He talked to the little girl for
awhile, then surprised the ieweler and
little Annie by bursting into tears.
They've told you about Uncle Luke,
haven't they?" he asked.
"Oh, yes, often" replied Annie. "He
is in Australia, where the bark falls off
the trees and the leaves stay on, and
where the birds have no wings, and ev-
erything is so queer!"
''But what if he came home?"
