MRS. DREYER's WILL VALID.
This Decision Announced by Judge
CASTOR Yesterday.

The will of the late Mrs. Anna Cath
crime Dreyer was sustained yesterday by
Probate Judge ]. B. CASTOR and the tes-
lament was allowed to be probated.
The probaing of the will was contested
by Mrs. Emma Clement, daughter of
Mrs Dreyer. Her contention was that
her mother was In an unsound mental
condition at the time of the making of
her last will an dthat preceding will
should be probated. Mrs Clement was not
as largely benefited in the last will as in
the first one.
Mrs. Louise McAdams, another daugh-
ter of Mrs. Dreyer opposed Mrs. Gle
ment She claimed that her mother was
in a perfectly sane condition at the time
of the making of the last will.
The matter was argued before Judge j.
B. CASTOR several days ago, and was
taken under consideration. He decided

this date the county will not pay any

of its Charter has the power through
its common council ito pass bylaws
and ordinances to restrain and punish
drunkards, Migrants, mendicants,
street beggars and persons soliciting
aims" That the Charter gives the
Justices of the Peace jurisdiction over
such offences in the city and makes it
the duty of the city officers to enforce
the provisions of the Charter and or
dinances of the city
We further believe that his action
in refusing TO endorse orders for war
rants on such complaints and refer
ring their prosecution to the city
authorities is not only in the interest
of the people of the county but for
the city of Ionia as well We believe
that his action in this respect has

THE MEXICAN PESO.
Fluctuations in Value Embarass
Business Men.

Washington, D. C., Feb. g.
There have been great fluctuations
in the value of the Mexican silver
peso since last July, aud Mexican
bankers, according to Il report
made to the State Department Jan.
8 by Consul General Hanna at
Monterey, attribute them in large
part to uncertainty as to the course
of the United States in the use of
the peso IN the Philippines Islands.
Mr.. Hanna says that last July 80
pesos would purchase an American
dollar in Mexico, but when it be-
came known that American money
was soon to become the currency
OF The Philippines, the value of
silver declined until in last Novem-
Der it required $2.34 Mexican sill
yer to purchase al American dol
I.T. Fer a while, continues Mr..
Hanna, it was believed the peso
would sink to its bullion valu",
but when it became generally
known that the pesos for the time
being would be accepted in the
Philippines at the rate of $2.10,
the value of Mexican money stead
ily advanced. Mr.. Hanna says that
the f1uetuation III value is reported
to be causing embarrassment TO
business houses who purchase large
quantities OF goods in the United
States and Europe, as such goods
are paid for on gold basis and
sold in Mexico for silver. Many of
the leading merchants, he couclud-
ed, are hoping for the establish
ment of the gold basis in Mexico.

COOKING OF VEGETABLE:

Here are few simple rules for

All vegetables should 90 ever

you put them over he fire in cold
water, the water VIII contain tlrlr
nutrition when cooked aud Tie
vegetables will be lnsipid aud TASTE
less, says the Philadelphia IrIe-
graph.
If vegetables are uncovered
while cooking there will he no
odor through the house Even cab
bage, onions, turuipS and other
vegetables with perfumery fac
tory attached will be perfectly
harmless if cooked in an uncover
ed vessel just at Or below the boil
ing point.
Ali vegetables that grow under
ground should be cooked in unSalt-
ed water.
All green vpgetabIps-that is,
those growing ON top of ground
preserve their color better in salt

THR fluctnation of the Mexican
peso is claiming attention at Wash
ingtOu, because of It's effect in the
Philippines, and much of the un-
stability of its value is said to be
due to uncertainty as to whether
the United States would continue
the use Of the Mexican coin in the
islands. II it should be concluded
to substitute American coin alto
gether, silver would get heavy
blow, and a Mexican dollar would
probably look like less than thirty
cents. 1t is said that Mexican mer-
chants are hoping that the gold
basis may be established in Mexico.
No doubt such course would be
adopted if that government could
see its way clear to do so safely.
II w0uld he welcome change to
border towns in Texas, where, true
TO the uuwritten law of currency,
the cheaper money drives ont the
dearer. and Mexican silver cIrcu-
lates almost exclusively, so that the
merchants are as much troubled by
che fluctuations of the Mexican pc
50 as are those residing in Mexico.
