An extensive brief and argument In behalf
Of the appellants, Joseph Williams and
others, in the Miles will case, was filed In
the supreme court today. The action as 1t
now stands before the supreme court Is
an appeal from a proceeding to set aside
the probate of what is known as the Rulo
will. Stephen B. Miles, whose estate Is
involved in the legal battle, died at Falls
City In 1898. leaving property Of an esti-
mated valuation Of more than $1,000, 600.
He left surviving him two sons, Joseph II.
Miles. who lived at Falls City, and Samuel
A. Miles. who at that time lived in Sabetha,
Kan. There had been born to stephen B.
Miles two daughters, victorine and Caro-
line. both Of whom died before the death
OF their father, but left lineal descendants,
heirs -at-law, who are now parties in the
suit.
The case has attracted widespread stten-
ton, both because Of Its sensational fea-
lures and the size OF the estate involved.
The two brothers are the principal con-
testants. The plaintiffs in the suit filed
a petition in equity in the Richardson
county court to set aside the probate OF
the Rulo will. on the ground that stephen
b. Miles in the spring Of 1897 at the ST.
James hotel in the city Of st. Louis had
made a later will which revoked the Rulo
will and made a more equitable distribution
Of the property among the children and
their descendants. The case was tried In
the county, a decree rendered in favor Of
the defendants. From that decree an APP
peal was taken to the district court and
thereafter the case was tried and a like
decree rendered.
Since the appeal to the supreme court a
motion has been made to the district court
to have the case reopened, II being con-
tended that new evidence had been dis
covered which shows conclusively that
there was a later will.
Grants n Water Right.
Secretary Dobson OF the State Board Of
Irrigation acted favorably this afternoon on
the application Of the Bennett Live Stock
company for permission to appropriate the
water OF Lodge Pole creek In Kimball
county for irrigation purposes. The COM
pany proposes to erect a dam a quarter Of
4 mile long across the stream near the
town OF Kimball, thus forming a reservoir
in which enough water could he stored for
necessary irrigation purposes without de-
tracing from the supply for prior Appro-
priations. About 500 acres OF land. all
in Kimball county, win be irrigated from
a ditch extending eastward from the res
ervoir.

The largest crowd ever assembled
in tie opera house was there last
night to witness the performance Of
the Hoyt Comedy company in the
presentation of 1.-TWO Married Wo-
men," This play is full of good
wholesome comedy and seems to
have been especially designed for
laugh making purposes. 1t was
rendered last night in a very ae-
ceptable manner and the audience
was kept in an uproar of laughter
from the time the curtain went up
until the end of the last act. The
specialties last night were decidedly
the best feature of the entertain
ment. Gan Idiotic Situation" a
merry bit of nonsense, presented by
Miss Bennett and Mr.. Switzerland,
was the most popular presentation
of the evening. 1t is a clean, clever
skit, full of funny, foolish situations
and it did not fail to please the au-
dience. Baby Doris sang as sweet
ly as ever, and was the same win
some, attractive, fiirtive little girl
she has ever been. The Melnottes
in their musical act won the well
merited appreciation of the audi
ence. Mr.. Jas. Sillance rendered
two vocal solos to good advantage
and the illustrated songs were well
received.
Tonight the companies will APP
pear in one of Hoyt's famous plays,
"A Texas Steer" This has been
here number of time, bun it is a
play that never fails to draw q
crowd.

A dispatch from Denton to the
Dallas News says: J. l.. Cherry, a
well-to-do resident of Ellis county,
was feeced ont of $75 by a slick
stranger at Dallas last night while
waiting for the train to start. The
stranger apparently knew all of Mr..
Cherry's relatives here, whom he
was coming to visit, and made him
self thoroughly agreeable. Just be-
fore the train pulled out he pre-
scented Mr.. Cherry, who is 81 years
old, with a check for 81 ,260 on the
National Exchange Bank of Dallas,
asking for a loan of $7j on it until
he could get TO Denton, when he
could pay back the cash. To this
the old man assented, turned over
the $50 and the stranger went to see
about the shipment of some mer-
chandise. He has not been seen
since.

Prosperous and Happy
Missouri.

Reports from the State announce
that wheat harvesting has now begun
under especially auspicious condi-
tons. The farmers say that the crop
will be the the best for several years,
and also that other crops are very
promising, corn being about waist
high and in fine shape.
Thisis good news for State which
is already in the front rank Of pros
porous American commonwealths
and making rapid strides for first
place in the Union.
Abundant crops this year will
mean a tremendous increase in Mis-
souri's wealth and in the well-being
and happiness Of her people. The
Missouri harvest song Of 1902 may
properly be Of ofunusual sweetness and
confidence Of strain.
Under wise democratic admins
tration Of her affairs, Missouri's pros
perity hes been and win continue to
be adequately conserved and brought
to the fullest volume. The State this
year becomes entirely free of bonded
indebtedness, though 81 ,0O0,00 Of
her revenues have been appropriated
and devoted to Worlds Fair pur-
poses. The tax rate is among the
lowest in the United States. The
schools are admirably maintained.
The wealth per capita is steadily
increasing.
Prosperous old Missouri and her
people may well receive the congrat-
ulations Of an admiring world. They
are blessed far above the average.
