Cling at Norfolk.

A dispatch from Norfolk, Va, last night
says: The seizure by customs officials at
this port Of Turkish and Persian goods
valued at thousands of dollars. which
were brought here from Europe by the
naval collier Hannibal. has created sem
sation in naval circles here. The matter is
now in the hands of the Secretary CT the
Navy for investigation. Two naval officers,
said to be of high rank, and attached to
the battle ship squadron in European
waters, are implicated in the case, it is
said.
A mysterious feature of the seizure is the
fact the information leading UP to it came
in the form of an anonymous letter to the
authorities before the Hannibal reached this
port some days ago from Gibraltar. Capt.
Easton, commanding the collier, declined to
make any statement tonight, more than to
say:
mo smuggled goods were brought into
port = it was not intended to smuggle any
goods here.
In the basement of the custom house are
stored one Turkish carpet, valued at $500;
two carpets appraised a $500 and 500 sew

The seizure was made by Special Agent
Donnelly and Local Customs Official Henry.

Waldorf Tragedy Causes Will Contest.

dispatch from New York says: was
beautiful Bertha Marion Dolbeer of San
Francisco insane when she fell or leaped
from ninth-story window of the Waldorf
Astoria to instant death on July last?
Was she insane when she made will
few months earlier, leaving s1,T50,O00 of her
81 COCOON estate to her second cousin, Eta
Marion Warren, who was her companion
for years, and who stood helpless few feet
away from the girl when she made the ia
tai plunge. These are the questions to be
answered in the battle over Miss Dolbeer's
will in San Francisco, of which a prelimi-
nary skirmish was fought before Commits
sioner Robert p. Lee yesterday. The
test is made by relatives of Miss Dolbeer in
New York, Rhode Island and New Hamp-
shire. They are trying to break the will on
the ground that she was not of sound and
disposing mind when she made 1t; that
Miss Warren had acquired undue influence
over her. and that her death was the result
of an insane suicidal impulse. Miss War
ren's attorneys maintain that Miss Dolbeer
was at all times sane; that there was no
undue influence in the making of the will.
and that her death was the result of acct
dent.

There are three vital reasons.
First. my individual-my personal
application of a treatment to these
obscure inside nerves.
That was never done before-nor
since.
Secondly. the prescription itself
the only one that acts directly on

After this, my discovery. failures

And the simple way to that help

You write me for the book you

Send no money. A postal card will

II you need my advice, 1t is free.
Tell me of your ailment as you would
your home doctor. Write to me in
strictest confidence.
Then with the book I'll send the

grant the months treatment on trial.
All druggists keep the Restorative.
All do not grant the trial though so
write for the name Of one who does.
Six bottles will be offered for the
test II the Restorative satisfies. the
cost to you Is $3.50. If 1t fails, the
loss is mine. The druggist will bill
the cost to me. And you alone shall

SEATTLE, Feb. lS.-That Juneau,
Alaska, will, during the present SEES
sion of congress make determined
fight to have the seat of government
Of the District of Alaska removed
from Sitka to the former city, is the
statement of William NJ. Elmer, pres
ident of the Alaska chamber of COM
merce of Juneau. 1t is probable he
will make a trip to Washington on
behalf of Juneau, for the purpose of
informing the members of congress of
the real situation in southeastern
Alaska.
Mr.. Elmer says that Juneau is the
leading city in Alaska, and that by
reason Of the fact that the United
States district judge, the marshal's
Office and the land Office are located
at Juneau, most of the official business
of the district is transacted there.
AT Sitka, the old capital, there yet
remains the governors office and the
office of the surveyor general. Capt.
Jarvis, United States collector of GUS
toms for Alaska, has recently been
in Washington, and there made a
strong argument before the territorial
committee of the house in favor of the
