DEWEY WILL ADMITTED
Now VIII Begin the Fight by the Rela-
tives OF the Kansas Millionaire.

Chicago. Aug. 4-From a fight for
his life in a Kansas criminal court,
Chauncey Dewey steps into the pro
bate court of Cook county to fight for
the lions share in the $675,OOO es-
tate of his father, the late Charles P.
Dewey. After more than a week of
has admitted the will of Charles P.
Dewey to probate The fight which
will follow in the Cook county courts
Is expected to be one of the most bitter
legacy contests ever waged.
Mrs. Gertrude NJ. Dewey, the widow,
IS in Manhattan, Kan, where separate
maintenance proceedings were pend
ing against Dewey at the time of his
death. A daughter, Miss Emma Dew
ey, who was cut Off with $4,000 is in
Mckinney, Tex. She is the most Wig
orous contestant of the will. Charles
p Dewey was on his death bed in
Wheeling. w. Va, when he signed the
paper now in the files of the Cook
county probate court, dispoSing of his
large estate. The signature is scrawled
and barely legible- 1t is said by some
that it alone is sufficient proof that
he was not in his right mind at the
time During the argument before
Judge Cutting it was asserted that he
was under the influence of opiates.
The document was signed June Z, 1904.
He died June 10, 1904. Charles T.
Killen, who was merely a clerk and
secretary, divides with Chauncey, the
son, the larger portion of the estate.
To the widow, daughter and other
relatives fall a few trifiing requests.
The home at 1926 Lake Park avenue,
q few shares of mining stock and $35,-
600 cash ought to satisfy the widow
daughter and the large majority of the
relatives, according to the will. In
Cook county alone the personal estate
OF Dewey amounted to 100000 and
the realty to $275,000. In Kansas he
owned miles of range land, thousands
of cattle and horses. a hotel accom-
modating 1000 guests. and other

NEW MODEL RE-OPENS.
Big Department Store Under Manage
ment OF Jones Dry Goods Co.

After being closed for ten days to
remark the stock and rearrange some
departments, the doors of the New
Model were opened for business at $3.50
this morning.
Jones Dry Goods company. Kansas
City, Mo, who purchased this store of
Kemper & Paxton made many improve
ments in the interior arrangements
during the time the doors were closed.
The display windows along the entire
front were taken out to make space
Tor tables One portion OF the snoe
shelving which divided the clothing de-
partment from the shoes was taken out
which makes the room look mucn
larger and allows more space
The carpet and furniture stock OF the
Model were shipped TO the kansas CITY
store of the Jones company to allow
more space for the congested stock
The domestic dry goods, linens ana
draperies now occupy this section
Another thing which the customers OF
the Model will undoubtedly appreciate
is the system for making out safes
checks and wrapping bundles. This IS
the same as the Jones company use IN
their large Kansas City store. At vari-
Gus points throughout the store are sta
tions where bundles are wrapped ana
change is made Cash boys and girls
bring the purchases from the clerks TO
these stations and also take the bum
dies and change back.
There was quite a crowd around the
doors of the Model this morning by
o'clock BY 9 o'clock the store was fill
ed and the salespeople had more than
they could attend to- Notwithstanding
that there were 75 extra people in addl-
ton to the 80 regularly employed Sew
eral thousand visited the store during
the day. There never was time but
IL required the entire force to attend TO
the customers.
The Jones company intend to close
out $50. 900 of the s125. 900 stock immed-
lately This will give them much need
ed room. The china stock is to be closed
out entirely. Other stocks will be cut
down to a normal size
This sale will undoubtedly break all
records in Topeka There are chances |
OF the Jones company continuing this
store as a branch of their Kansas City |
Topeka will appreciate |
having such a live and aggressive firm |
IN the city.

The Strikers Side.

Parsons, Kan, Aug. 4.-V. P. Huffy,
deputy president of the Order of Rail-
way Telegraphers here, today re-
ceived the following message from H.
B. Perham, regarding the strike on
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railway:
'Wire the following to every point
you can reach:
Reports from every district indi-
cate that the situation is very satisfac-
tory. The company is in desperate
straits The officials are circulating
false reports in regard to the strikers
returning to work. There have been
ony three deserters since the strike
began. Their reports about sending
out men are absurdly untrue They
cannot get the men. Urge every man
to stand true. The longer the present
conditions last the more deplorable
becomes the company'S condition..
Locals officials say that trains on
this division are being operated with
little trouble.

CARETAKERS ARE IN CHARGE.
Are Having Their Day Now in Fine
New York Mansions.

The season has brought the caretak-
erS from their more humble homes into
the abodes of the wealthy. 1t is true
that they do not usually get above the
basement, but they move into 'aristo-
cratic neighborhoodS which they have
never known before.
To move bag and baggage from one
END or town to another for a Sojourn
of three or four months might seem a
great deal of trouble to persons who
do not realize that to save rent for that
time may be a great object. For the
caretakerS do not receive pay for their
services They have merely the use of
the basement floor in most cases and
are satisfied with that.
Many responsibilities are attached to
the post. Usually a man and his wife
are taken because that inSures the
presence of the woman in the house
all day and the protection of the man
at night. Children are no more deSir-
ed than they are in flats. Thus it hap
pens that the oaretakers are usually
either old couples or newly married
ones.
Sometimes they may possess a baby
too little to exercise any of the poten-
TALLY for evil in older offspring. Then
it is the turn of the near neighbors to
protest as infant lameptations arise on
the night air in the sadness of resi-
denial block in summer.
But even an infant is preferable to
children old enough to play in the
streets. They are the worst trial to
only in the scarcity of this kind.
Experience teaches the professional
care-takers to be as quiet as they can
and to take nothing but themselves
and their clothes into their temporary
quarters. Those whose honesty is
proved usually have very little trouble
in finding a berth every summer. Good
care-takerS are very much in demand.
1t sometimes happens that they have
been employed as servants by those
whose homes they protect or in the
secured through some personal relation
of this kind. Often they are the friends
or relatives of old servants who recon-
mend them.
Until October these quiet couples sit
in the basement doors and the odOr OF
pipe tobacco succeeds the smell of corn
ed beef and cabbage to be noticed in
these regions only at this empty sum-
mer season.
There are opportunities for entertain
ing. Frequently one sees in the front
basement the blinds discreetly drawn
over the visiting delegation from the
downtown regions. 1t is then that the
host makes occasional trips to the cor
ner and the unusual sight of a GROWER
in the Fifth avenue region is seen.
But even in the enjoyment of these
social pleasures the character of the
is not overlooked. Laugh
ter is never allowed to become noisy
and the conventions of the region are
observed. AS rule New York care
takers are a very decent, orderly lot.
who are selected, indeed, for those very
qualities To them is intrusted the
wealth of the house owner, and they
are chosen for the capacity to guard It
well.-New York Sun.

SIGNIFICANT DEALS.
Large Purchases of Pig on the Iron
Market.

New York, Aug. 4.-Referring to the
iron and steel market the Iron Age in
this weeks issue says:
The principal event of the week has
been the closing of contracts for lilo, 900
tons of standard bessemer pig for de-
livery over ten months, beginning in
September, to the PittSburg Steel COM
pany. The transaction is significant
because it brings a large tonnage to the
valley merchant iron furnaces, and thus
will to some extent relieve the pressure
from that quarter.
There is reported, further, the pur-
chase of 25, 900 tons of BeSsemer pig
iron by a Wheeling foundry. The same
concern which has the first part of the
order for the Pennsylvania tunnel cast
ingS is in the market for 35, 900 tons ad-
ditiOnal. There seems still to be some
uncertainty concerning the second half
of the second tunnel castings order and
the pig iron for it does not appear to
have been covered. The iron for the
first half was given to one furnace in
New Jersey and two in the Lehigh VAL
ley.
Aside from these larger transactions
there have been series of smaller
sales at Pittsburg and there has been
quite some activity in the Chicago mar
ket. There have been some good sales,
including one lot of 1900 tons of basic
pig in the east. The complaint is gen
eral, however, that these sales, nearly
all made by northern furnaces, have
been made at low prices, which in many
cases are below the cost OF production.
In the great consuming territory
north of the Ohio and east of the Mis-
sissippi river to the Atlantic the cur
rent sales have been practically con-
fined to local furnaces. The south has
done very little Production in Ala
bama is restricted by the labor trou-
bles, and as shipments are going for
ward steadily, the position statistical
ly must be improving considerably.
Aside from the large transactions
referred to the buying for foundrypur-
poses is done to cover only require
ments for pressing needs or for the
current quarter, the buyers apparent
ly not having abandoned their waiting
attitude.
From the finished iron and steel
markets come fair reports. There is
a modest increase in the tonnage in
the majority of lines, but the railroads
are still taking material conservative
ly. AS an indication of the amount of
work going on 1T may be noted that
the July sales of the leading structural
interest was over 10000 tons, an I'M
usually large proportion of it being
for builders and miscellaneous struc-
lures. The plate trade is reported to
be showing some improvement and
the low prices of sheets appear to
have attracted buyers. Bar iron is
somewhat stronger, particularly in the
Chicago market.

UNION LABEL UPHELD.
Court Grants Injunction in Favor OF
Hatters' Organization.

Bridgeport, Conn, Aug. 4.-Judge
o. Wheeler of the superior court has
granted an injunction restraining c..
H Merritt & Son of Danbury from
using a label which is alleged to be
an infringement upon the label of the
United Hatters of North America
The petition was brought in the case
of Martin Lawler of Danbury, the
United Hatters being an unincorpor-
ated association. The decision is
sweeping in its effect, the labor or
ganization being given a standing be-
fore the court and every contention
upheld. The matter of a contract be-
tween the union and employers is
held to be legal. One of the salient
features of the decision is the state
ment that strikes and their concom-
itants are not as injurious as some of
the court decisions. the latter being
permanent in their effect while the
strike and disorder are eph emeral.
