WAR JUST BEGUN.


WY
! Come When Japs Reach Hardin.
San Francisco special: Baron Matsu-
.daira. member OF the house Of peers Of
Japan and vice president Of the imperial
Japanese commission to the st. Louis ex.
position, passed through here on his way
home. In al interview published in the
Chronicle he Is quoted as follows on the
IRusso-Japanese war situation:
1.-The true cause OF the present wal IS
the eagerness of the Japanese to carry
western civilisatio into the 0rient-into
.,Manchuria and into China proper. She
feels 1t her duty to do for the orient what
IAmcr.ca has done for her.
1.-The best way to do this was. she
thought. to open up the ports and other
cities of Manchuria and China proper TO
the m of the world.
she had no reason to expect a contro-
versy from Russia in accomplishing this
object-she did not expect war. but a
,peaceable settlement.
The fall Of Port Arthur will probably
not close the war because It may not
settle the purpose of the war-it may not
convince Russia. BY the time the Rus
SLAMS get to Hardin It will be timo for
Russia to be convinced that she was
wrong.
I'm case the Japanese win in this war
they will not treat Manclluria according
10 Russian policy. There are man posi-
bilities, but probably she will not make II
a Japanese territory. but Will handle It IN
accordance with the original purpose. The
victory OF Japan will greatly increase
American oriental commerce"

STORM WAS FURIOUS.
Damage Inflicted in Over
200 Fields.

Aberdeen. S. d., Aug. 26.-In addition
to the damage done by the cyclone in
some sections of South Dakota. the
northern part of the state suffered also
from a destructive hailstorm. A. f.
Milligan. general agent for an insur-
ance company, states that he has al
already received reports of losses sus-
tanned IN over 700 fields and he expects
the damage will grow with each mail
received for a number of days yet. Nine
counties are included in the losses by
hail. Grant, Roberts. Day, Sphinx,
Clark, Codington and Deuel. were all
hurt considerably. while the damage in
Brown is said to be comparatively
light. In Grant county h damage
seems to have been in the western
part. while in Roberts the southwestern
portion suffered the most severely. In
CodinEton, Deuel. and Hamlin counties
considerable barley was cut. u not
over 10 per cent. of the wheat and oats
had yet been cut, it Is asserted, and the
injury to these grains is heavy. In
Day, Brown and Grant counties the
barley and oats were practically all
cut. but so per cent. OF the wheat is
still standing. Mr.. Milligan declares
the reports show the most severe losses
by hail he has ever known. In hail loss
districts 1t is unusual for more than
20 per cent. of the posses to be total,
but in the recent storms h percentage
exceeds this average by n large figure.

WILL OF MRS. DODGE
F|ERCElY CONTESTED
A Sensational Turn Taken b,
Relatives of Deceased
Woman.
ALLEGE UNFAIR METHODS
Charge Made That Rev. A. N. Nc.
Donald Executor and Who Is Be-
queathed Much, Used UnS..-
Influence.
-

Sioux Falls, s. b.. Aug. 2s.-The con
test of the will of Mrs. Abbie r.. Dodge.
who died at Jacksonville. Fla, on
March % of the present year. has TAX
EN- a decidedly sensational turn. Mrs.
Dodge was for many years n resident
places in South Dakota, and was wide
ly known through the eastern portion
of the state.
Copies of Florida newspapers which
have been received by old friends of
Mrs. Dodge In this city give the pres
ent status OF the suit, and contain ma
terial which will be read with interest
by all those who knew her while she
was a resident of The state. The suit
was instituted by Charles II. Sweetser
and other relatives OF Mrs. Dodge, and
promises to become noted In the history
of legal controversies over wills.
The defendant is Rev. A. NJ. Mac
Donald. executor of the last will and
testament of Mrs. Dodge, who left an
part of the estate was bequeathed to
Macdonald. The relatives of Mrs.
Dodge instituted h suit for h pur-
pose Of having the will set aside, or
the grounds that Mrs. Dodge was men,
tally incapable of executing a will at
the time the instrument in question
was drawn, and that Macdonald used
undue influence in having himself made
the principal beneficiary. The suit has
been stoutly contested from the start.
Those who instituted the suit made
application to Judge H. r. Philips OF
the probate at Jacksonville, for
the issuing of a commission to take the
testimony Of persons residing outside
the state of Florida to show h a Mrs
Dodge was mentally incapable of exc
cutting a will. Judge Philips denied
the application. 1t was carried to an
other judge, who also denied Il, ans
upon n rehearing before Judge Phil
Ups he sustained his former action
Then 1t went to the state supreme court
of Florida on mandamus proceedings t.
compel Judge Philips to issue h com
mission.
That court ordered it 20 be heard b,
another court, where the writ of man
damus was quashed. Another appea
to the state supreme court was thef
perfected. Some of the testimony II
the main Ease was sensational. Mis-:
Ida Stafford. one of the witnesses t.
the document. testified that at the time
Mrs. Dodge affixed her signature to tn
will she (Mrs. Dodge) had not read TIN
instrument and was not aware of 1T
contents.
The witness stated that Rev. Mr.
Macdonald was present when the will
making him the chief beneficiary wa
signed. DIR. Edward N. Leill. who ha
been Mrs. Dodge's attending physician
before and after the signing of the will
testified that Mrs. Dodge. at the tim
the alleged will was executed. was no
mentally capable of executing h in
strument. The testimony of numerou
other witnesses corroborated the evi
dence as to her mental condition.
The contestants made n very stronl
case. and have strong hopes of having
the will set aside and the property o
the deceased distributed among tn
relatives who are the rightful heirs.
