MRS. M'VICKER'S WILL
is ELUCIDATED
Horace Mevicker Gets Three -fourths
Of the Income From the Estate

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-The will of Mrs
Harriet G. McVieker was not filed for
probate today, but it will probably be
brought into court in the morning. One
of the attorneys interested in the case
tonight said that the estate was by
the will divided as follows:
Two thousand dollars to Miss Jen-
ME Boydston, of Sterling, ILL.,; SIS 900
to Mrs. Jennie Owen and her husband,
Of Chicago, and $4,000 to st. Luke's
hospital Chicago. The remainder OF
the estate is to be placed in trust.
Three fourths of the income from the
trust fund is to be paid to Horace
McVicker as long as he lives and on
his death the three fourths is to be
divided equally among his heirs. The
remaining one-fourth Of the income
Of the trust estate is to be paid to
Mrs. Clara B. Game, of San Francisco,
and on her death the one-fourth is to
be divided equally among her heirs.
The will is dated Sept. g. 1903. In
previous will, dated June IL, 1901,
the division of the trust fund was op-
posite to that Of the latter document,
Mrs. Game being given three -fourths
and Horace McYicker one-fourth. The
value of the estate is put at $3.50, geo.

the debate upon the primary election
planlks, advocated by the two sides. the
party division and dissensions became
apparent. The overwhelming defeat
of the radicals was a surprise to the
conservatives, who looked for a greater
showing of strength.
Villas Turns the Scale
That Senator Villas contributed to
this defeat by his effective speech is
conceded. Then came the contest over
the second minority report relating to
the rate commission. The first de-
feat of the minority served to make
it less aggressive and assertive and
the convention soon got down to TAX
ing vote. The adoption of the ma
jority report and the ratification of the
entire platform by the convention
cleared the way for the nomination of
the ticket.
With the nomination of George w.
Peck quickly disposed of, DR.. H. A.
Lathrop, of Marshfield, was chosen for
the second place on the ticket, having
defeated Burt Williams, of Ashland,
by vote of 322 to 32S. The rest Of
the ticket was nominated as above.
Former Attorney General James L.
OConnor, of Milwaukee, was perma-
nent chairman. The name of Henry
Killilea. OF Milwaukee, the candidate
slated for the place by the state CEN
trail committee, was also presented, but
Mr.. Killilea withdrew
Mr.. Villas in his speech scored the
opponents Of tire majority report. He
referred to Gov. La Toilette as a dis
tributer of disturbances and distress"
His speech aroused great enthusiasm.
In hot contest for state chairman,
A. F. Warden, of Waulzesha. won out
over J. E. Jones, of Portage. by a vote
of 377 to 2O0R. The convention then,
at II: so, adjourned.

THEIR VOICE is FOR WAR

No wonder that the international
arbitration congress about to be held
in st. Louis promises to have a small
representation from the American con-
gress. Anything that makes for in
ternational peace is at a discount in
this country for the time being, and
will remain SO until our pugnacious
administration has been superseded by
one that can distinguish between ma
tional dignity and national brawling.
The voice of the Republican party is
for war. 1t believes in commercial
war, which is only another name for a
protective tariff. It believes in Great
ing the conditions that lead to war by
insisting upon larger military and
naval establishment than can possibly
be of service in time of peace. It
has been increasing and promoting the
opportunity for war by meddling in
many businesses with which it had no
concern.
This is an age in which the war
spirit, like other barbaric relics. has
experienced great revival of adora-
tion.a If any one had been asked to
name the three great nations most
sincere in, advocacy Of peace and most
determined against war, save where
forced into 1t to defend their honor, he
would have selected the United States.
Great Britain and Russia. 1T was ira
ditional and expressed policy of the
first two, and Russia had openly pro-
posed to all Europe an arrangement
looking toward permanent peace. Yet
all three have engaged in bloody strug-
giles within the past six years; and i'll
at least two of these cases, the Boer
war and the war between Russia and
Japan, the breaking of peace was will
full, unnecessary and dictated by greed
rather than by any consideration Of
national honor.
The peacemakers may be blessed.
Dut they are seldom popular. Or course
the agitation for international peace
and for arbitration as means of peace
should go on. The end Of war will not
come through treaties or protocols or
any formal documents whatever, but
by the creation of a popular opinion in
each country that will not tolerate the
savagery of war. The new age must
come slowly, serenely and by virtue Of
righteousness, rather than resolutions.
For that great aim, as for all others
that have been achieved, generations Of
slowly moving and apparently unfruit-
full agitation are necessary. The peace
congress should have all encourage

THE TAKING OF LiAu. YANG

Liau-yang is destined to give it's.
name to one of the great battles of
the world, but the event Of the fight
ing is not decisive in the sense that it
determines the outcome of the war.
Kuroki has developed the genius of a
Grant in the engagement of the last
two days. He has assaulted the en-
envy with tremendous force and at
cost in men that is not to be reckoned
now and which may never be told.
His obvious object was the rout of the
Russian army which is opposed to
him. The mere retirement Of Kuropat-
kin to the right bank of the Taitse
river would not serve the purpose of
theJapanese general, but at this writ,
ing that.is what he has effected.
Kuropatkin is by no means in trap.
Assuming: that he considered all the
chances of war in accepting the gauge
of battle-and that we must assume
the Russian rear is protected. He may
be forced to make a stand on the right
bank of the river.
ur~dispatches convey the impress
sionethat theoretical period Of the bat
tie was reached Wednesday night. All
day the Russians had withstood the
blows Of the battalions of Kuroki. The
Japanese general threw his men
against the Russian right and center
with asfierce insistence that forced Ku-
ropatkin to admit the necessity for
abandoning his advanced position.
The slaughter of the Japanese must
have been fearful, but it was as Moth
ing compared to the loss Kuropatkin
must have suffered had he attempted
the retreat which was part of his plan
of battle, but which must inevitably
have become rout in case it was at
tempted while fresh Japanese troops
could be brought into action. It ap-
ed slowly yesterday.
The flanking movement Of Kuroki,
which was of immense Importance, has
been successful in that it has carried
part of his army across the Taitse
river. His desperate attempt to break
the enemy'sr line, and cut him to pieces
on the field has apparently failed
A great battle has been fought and
the Japanese have won a great victory.
though at a fearful price in human
lives. But Liau-yang was not Mara

Japanese some distance ION the road

MoisrENiNG THE FAIR

The rain has not hurt the fair. It
was not within the power Of the
weather man to hurt an exposition so
well housed. SO complete in all its
working details and so strongly in
trenched in the esteem of the people
of the Northwest. But it must be adj
mitted at this juncture that the I'M
common amount Of moisture mixed
with the atmosphere of these parts
during the last few days has had a
depressing effect upon some tens Of
thousands Of people who were quite
willing to buy tickets to the fair and
contribute out Of the store Of their
enthusiasm to the success of the enter
prise.
1t IS late In the day to hope that the
fair Of this year will be a financial
success. The attendance has been as
tonishing, considering the weather.
and this is wholly due to the fact that
the people, being convinced of the fact
that this is the greatest agricultural
and industrial show on earth, had con-
hdence in the climate. Not for many
years has the fair been SO hampered
by the weather mixer, and it had come
to be regarded as being especially ia
vored of nature in this matter
There are still two days in which
people may avail themselves of the OPP
portunity to see the fair. 1t is GER
tain that they will require no urging
to encourage those whose business will
+ permit them to take advantage of this
opportunity. And, although this is
Minneapolis day, it should be Impress
ed upon the people of st. Paul and the
adjacent country that it is better to
attend the fair on Minneapolis day
than not to attend the fair. We hope
that the enemy up the river will
properly appreciate this sacrifice of
local pride on our part and turn out
so many thousands to swell the fair
throng that the only inhabitants left
in the place will be the policemen.
If these two last days are record
breakers the attendance may yet be
brought up within reach of the aver
age. - -

STOLE $IOO WORTH

RESTRICT THE SALE OF THE
POISON 4sboa

DR.. Whitcomb's proposed ordinance
to restrict the sale of carbolic acid
should be passed with all expedition.
We know nothing Of it's provisions as
yet except that it will operate to pre-
vent the unrestricted buying and SELL
ing of drug that has latterly become
one of the most common and dreadful
methods of destruction.
DR.. Whitcomb proposes that the
deadly acid and its extracts shall only
be sold upon prescription by ply
stefan. This should be sufficient. It
may be objected that the acid is a
common household disinfectant and
should be easily within the reach of
those people who buy it for proper
purposes. But the restriction of the
sale of the drug within the control of
the medical profession is not going to
deprive any person of the right Of buy
ing it. That person who has been in
the habit of seeing bottle of car
bolic acid in the house for years, and
who is suddenly inspired to use 1t for
the purpose of suicide, cannot be
helped by such a law as is proposed.
It is the unfortunate or demented one
who is suddenly moved to self-destruc-
ton, and finds the cheapest and most
awful means of sure death in few
cents worth of the drug who will be
saved from himself and his desperate
purpose.
By all means let the ordinance be
passed. 1t can do no possible harm:
it is said to have the countenance Of
the druggists and it is practically Ger
tain to eliminate in this community the
horror of. the carbolic acid suicide.

FRIDAY. SEPT. 2, 1904.
THE TRUSTS I'm LINE

The announcement made through
the New York World that Mr. ]. Pier
pont Morgan has made two trips quiet
ly to Oyster Bay this summer, and
that satisfactory alliance has been
concluded between him and the inter-
ests which he represents and President
Roosevelt, should not be a surprise.
The recent declaration of the New
York Sun in favor of Mr.: Roosevelt
was an open announcement to the
same effect. 1t is no secret that the
Sun is controlled by great trust inter-
ests, and there could be but one in
depreciation of its sudden change from
biting severity to smoothest friend
ship.
President Roosevelt has surrendered
to the trusts. We believe that he has
done this against his better Judgment.
against his own inclinations and prob
ably with deep personal sorrow and
regret. 1t is one of the penalties of
his ambition; and in his inmost heart
he knows that the price he pays is too
high. His trouble is that he would
rather be president than be consistent
or right; than be the Theodore Roose-
welt of years ago whom the people
could admire and trust. If he could
be elected president without a pledge
he would prefer to do so. But he is
the head and the candidate of party
that is as surely owned and directed
by the combined monopolistic inter-
ests of this country as it's petroleum
supply is by the Standard Oil COM
pany. He has but one course to pur-
sue.
We have no doubt that Mr.. Morgan
made his own terms, He is a good
bargainer In the vast enterprises in
which he has been engaged we recall
no case in which he has come out per-
sonally a loser. The president has
been shrewdly allowed by the man
ayers of the Republican party to open
his own campaign. They stood back
with an amused smile to watch his
Republican party, except a mob of
befooled voters, if you take away tho
combines and the leading spirits that
handle them. They knew that funds
would be wanting, and that every
leader would sulk in his tent if the
president remained at odds with the
trust managers They let him find
this out by experience. After Mr.
Cortelyou had made a few overtureS
and the party collector had made his
rounds and come back with an empty
wallet, Mr.. Morgan was ready to talk
business with Mr.. Roosevelt.
1t is declared that part of the
compact is. that the. trusts shall be let
alone. Nobody expected anything less.
Mr.. Knox's announcement before he
left the cabinet that the administra-
ton did not propose ito run amucl"
among the business interests of the
country conveyed the same hint in
discreet and yelled language. Every
man who votes for the Republican
ticket this fall will vote with a knowI-
edge and understanding that his voice
is given in favor of compact by
which the Republican party shall con-
tinue to talk big and do nothing; by
which the proceedings against the real
trusts that have captured industry and
raised prices in this country will
dawdle along as those against the coal
trust and the beef trust have; that the
administration will make sensational
move now and then and will be ready
to prosecute bitterly any one whom it
regards as a political enemy, but that
