DR.. Zeigler Says He Knows of But
One Testament Made by Mrs.
McVicker.

Chihcago, Sept. S.-The mystery
surrounding the will left by Mrs.
James H. McVicker was partially dis
PEELED yesterday by an announcement
from DIR. L. C. H. E. Zeigler that no
far as he knew only the one instru-
ment existed. DIR. Zeigler, however,
said he would be none the less active
in asserting his rights, and limited
that he had entered into a contract
with Mrs. McVicker by which he was
to receive 100000 in a lump sum
and $4,000 annually for abandoning
his practice in Chicago and for giving
all his attention to Mrs McVicker
These matters are quite likely to be
aired in the Probate Court this fore
noon when the will may be filed.
DR.. Zeigler made public letter al
legged to have been written by l.. d.
Condee, formerly Mrs. McVicker's
and now Horace McVickers's attor-
ney, four years ago, "to prove" as
he explained. "that Condee's state
ments should be taken with at least
grain of salt" The letter is. as fol-
lows:
Chicago, Sept. 4, 1900.-Mrs. J. H.
McVicker, Chicago, I'll. My Dear Mrs.
McVicker: AS you no doubt remem-
Der, a few months ago there was con-
siderable controversy over Dr. Zeigler.
| have given the matter careful inves-
tigation and consideration and have
come to the conclusion that DR.. Zeig-
Ter is more sinned against than sim
ming. There is nothing bad about the
man; he is hard worker and man
who, in my judgment, is trying to do
the right thing. If | am correct in
this, then I feel. that it is my duty,
and the duty of all others who come
into contact with him, to treat him as
a gentleman.
/ write this letter for the purpose
of disabusing your mind of any preju-
dice which may have been lodged
therein. Very respectfully yours,
L. D. CONDEE.
Mr.. Condee said he had no recollec-
ton of having ever written such a
communication to Mrs. McVicker or
to any other person. DR.. Zeigler also
gave out a sworn statement made by
| MoN .l- yrh N n
follows:
Chicago, July "a, 1901. To the
Court, Jury and People of Illinois -
This is to certify that to my knowl-
edge by his confession, Mr.. Condee
has conspired with others to ruin DIR.
Zeigler's business and good reputa-
ton. He (Mr. Condee) declared his
persecution would be unto death.
The attached letter I received per-
sonally from Mr.. Condee and turn
same over to DIR. Zeigler TO protect
him against Mr.. Condee's unscrupu-
lous and heinous villiany, which he
NAV again attempt to exercise against
the doctor in court or civil life.
HARRIET G. M'VICKER.
DIR. Zeigler also stated that he
knew nothing of the alleged shortage
of sos. 1000 in Mrs McVicker's funds
saving he never had received. any mon
ev from her, although he had ex-
nectea some financial compensation
for his services.

wild animal show is another attrac-
ton that most people will want to
see. Madame Won Gorter gives a

lighting effects used in the Lolita pa

with its beautiful illusions and magni-

REVIVAL OF RUM0RS
MR.. E. B. STOCKING ATTACKS THE
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Statement Made Last Night Before MT.
Pleasant Citizens Association
Business Matters Considered.

Mr. E. B. Stocking created a scene at
meeting of the Mount Pleasant Citizens
Association, at the Hotel Stratford, last
night by an attack on the public schools OF
Washington and an attempt to rake over
and stir up some of the already officially
discredited stories of moral iooseness in the
schools. The usual business of the assocla-
ton had been disposed of and the members
were on the point Of adjourning when Mr..
Stocking arose. and, with dramatic en-
phasis. announced that be desired to pre-
sent to the association a matter of the
gravest Importance, affecting not only the
individual homes of the city, but the COM
munity at large.
He then proceeded to read set of reso-
lutions and to afterward comment on them-
The resolutions recited that rumors are
current on the streets of our city amongst
the teachers, boys and girls or our SCHOOLS
tending to show the presence therein or
demoralizing, though not necessarily GRIM
inal influence Therefore the resolutions
proposed that the Mount Pleasant Citizens
Association enter its protest against any
conditions with a tendency to perpetuate
any questionable influence in the schools
and called upon Otner c. zens' associations
to Join with it in Graduating from the
schools anything that in the remotest oe,
gree even If based upon suspicion only
may be productive of deleterious influence
on the morals of the children.
Mr.. Stockings Explanation.
After reading the resolution Mr.. Stocking
started In to explain his ideas on the sub
iect and in the course Of his explanation
preached some theories of justice and fair
dealing which arrested the attention of his
auditors He held that in charges against
teachers and officials of public schools evil
dence was not necessary.
1--WE insist" said he that gossip, sus-
picion and rumor Of improperly and in
discretion on the part of any teacher are in
and Of themselves ample grounds for dis
miSSai."

situation in the public schools here, which
