TONIGHT! TONIGHT.
The Wheelmen Will Give You
Run for Your Money at
the Opera House.
The Audience Will Be Large

That The audience which will be
present at the Wheelmen Minstrel
performance in the Opera House
tonight will smash the record of
the play house, is shown by the
fact that the advance sale is the
largest ever known. Out of total
of 636 seats, there remains to be
sold less than one hundred and fifty,
and these are all in the rear of the
house. The gallery however, will
seat comfortably $50 or 800 persons,
and admission to this part of the
house will be only 25c.
The stage for the first part will
be handsomely dressed in a rustic
effect, the preparation of which the
boys have spared neither pains nor
expense. Electricity will play a
prominent part, and numberless
colored lights will be used.
The songs have all been carefully
selected. and the jokes are "button
busters. =" In fact, part one abounds
i'll screaming situations from the

COURT IN SESSION.
The December Term Convened
on Monday With a Slim
Attendance.
Business Of Small Moment.

The regular December term OF
Court called TO order at ten o clock,
on Monday, with Hon. Robt. r.
Little and Associates ]. Il. Fox and
William Krickbaum, on the bench
The attendance for the first day
was slim, and the business trans
acted was of small moment.
The Court ordered that 500
names be put into the jury wheel
for next year. For the February
term the Court ordered that venire
be issued for twenty-four grand
jurors, thirty-six traverse jurors.
Grace Neal Hutton VS.. c. w.
Neal. This was the case which
attracted SO much attention at a
previous term of court, and was a
rule to show cause why Grace Neal
Hutton should not turn over to the
plaintiff, c. w. Neal, who under
the will claims a life interest, the
proceeds, rents, issues, ETC., in the
estate of Emma II. Neal. The
matter, involving as it does an
estate amounting to S35, 900 was
sharply contested by both sides.
The Court in its opinion considers
the children benefciaries, under the
will, and discharges the rule. The
opinion in part is as follows:
"In order to sustain the petition
er's contention we must conclude
that the testatrix, after having
given to him portion of her estate
absolutely, also intended to and
did give him life estate in the re-
mainder, which was by far the
greater portion of her property.
This would practically be the
equivalent of disinheriting her own
children. If the petitioner was
given a life interest in the trust
estate, the testratrix failed in what
she set out to do, viz. make provi-
sion for the education and mainte-
nance of her children. The final in
come of the trust estate as it might
accrue was placed within the reach
of the petitioners creditors; while
any beneficial use which the testa-
trix intended that her children
should receive out of the income of
her estate would certainly be i'm
perilled.
"The words that he shall and
may have for his sole and separate
use X X 4 for and during the term
OF his natural life appearing as
they do in the context of this will
serve to render the meaning of the
instrument somewhat ambiguous.
THE words For and during the
term of his natural life refer to the
period of the duration of the trust,
rather than to extent of any interest
claimed to have been given to the
petitioner in the trust estate.
I'VE are of the opinion that the
testatrix intended to, and did create
trust by her will for the benefit
of her minor children and that
they, and not her husband, were
made the benefciaries of it.
Now December 7, 1903, the
present rule is discharged"
