DEPENDS ON A MARRIAGE
Whether a Family Shall or Shall Not Re
Enriched by About Million
Dollars.

Sioux City. Ia, Feb. 23.-With
million dollars hanging in the balance,
the children OF John \. Boyer. retired
contractor, are seeking feverishly the
truth of statement that has come
from San Francisco that their father
had married Miss Mary Hazard. his
housekeeper. Mrs. Boyer died ten years
ago, and when her mother also died her
father. Levi Leight. of Harrisburg,
Pa. made will specifying that if
Boyer did not remarry his whole for
tune. worth $1.OO0.000. should revert
to Boyer and his children.
Leight made this provision because
his flther did so when his own wife
died many years ago. TWO years after
Mrs. Boyer's death Miss Mary Hazard
came from Wisconsin TO act as house
keeper for Boyer and his youngest
children. Boyer and Miss Hazard left
for the west three weeks ago, chaper-
oned by Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Clark.
Boyer refused to answer his son when
asked if they we're married.

PLANNING FOR A NEW SUPPLY
Not Quite Typhoid Fever. but Near IT'-
Names of the Dead.

The university authorities agreed to
advance $4,000 to the water company
to build a big filter if the city Of
Ithaca would permit the company to
raise its annual charge $1,000 to pay
half interest and maintenance. The
city council voted to accept the prOpo-
sition, which is expected to give Ithaca
pure water by next September. Fri
day the university authorities decided
to establish pure water depots on the
campus. where students can obtain
pure water which is guaranteed to be
uncOntaminated.
What they deem as most impOr-
tant discovery in the fever epidemic
and which may explain the appear
ance of so many new cases during
the last few days has just been made
by four of the city'S leading phySi-
clans. 1t is new ailment, quite
analogous to typhoid in the beginning,
but followed by profuse sweating and
with an alarming depression as a eli
max. The danger of mortality is less,
however, than in typhoid. The discov-
cry has dissipated much of the alarm
caused by the epidemic.
The doctors say this new condition
is due to some zymotic influence With
this information at hand and with the
fact that only seven new cases were
reported Saturday the health authori-
ties feel that the epidemic situation
has a brighter aspect than at any time
since the sickness began. The num-
ber of fatalities, however. was raised
to twenty-five by the death Saturday
morning of William Elliot Maher, u
member of the Cornell, 1906, medical
class. He died in the annex of the
student hospital after an illness of
three weeks. He formerly lived in
Brewster, n. Y.
Other students who died during the
epidemic were: Miss Charlotte Spencer,
of Jasper, n. V, sophomore in the
classical department; o. G. Scnumard,
of Bethany. Mo-. graduate student; J..
C. Vinton. senior; Henry a. Schoen-
bern, of Hackensack, y. J., member of

measure 1t was decided at the con-
ference yesterday TO submit the com
promise bill to the statehood Repub-

earliest possible moment in an en-

Substance of the Compromises.
The compromise which is expected
to unlock the present tangle proposes
to admit two states. one to be Okla
homa, according to it's present boun-
daries, with Il prOviSo that Indian Ter
ritory shall he added to Oklahoma in
1906, when the treaty obligations with
the Indians Will not be in the way
The other state is to be composed of
New Mexico and Arizona under the
name of Montezuma, with a proviso
that when the present territory of Ari-
zona has a population of 100000 peo-
pie it shall become separate state,
providing that the people of the ter
ritOry affected u vote in favor of being
divided from Montezuma Tor New
Mexico.
Mustn't Stop Morgan of Alabama.
The effect of the adoption of the
compromise upon the canal treaty will
at once be felt, as Quay and other
statehood men will not try to prolong
the debate on this measure. At the
same time senators have served no.
tice upon those who are pressing the
treaty that Morgan must have full op-
pOrtunity to present his views and
| amendments to the treaty in an order
ly manner and without undue pres
sure. Teller, Dubois and Rawlins We're
especially emphatic when making
These declarations, saying that even
if the treaty nad TO go over until after
March 4 the Alabama senator should
not be subjected to undue pressure
and strain.
Critical If It Comes Of:
The postoffice appropriation bill is
the first supply measure to come up on
the senate, it having been reported. 1t
carries the statehood bill as Il rider,
and unless an understanding is ar
rived at before the bill is taken up
the question of it's retention will inn
mediately confront the senate. That
will be the critical period in the state
hood bills career. Some of the anti
statehood senators contend that it can
be beaten as rider, and advocate an
invitation to this test of strength. On
| the other hand the statehood men
would not have put the rider on If
they had not been pretty sure of their
ground, and as a matter of fact they
do not seem to be worrying over the
| result of vote.
