BRYAN LOSES THAT
BENNETT LEGACY
Connecticut Court Disallows Claim in
the Celebrated Will Case
Hinged on Letter.

New Haven. Conn, Aug. 15.-Wil-
lam J. Bryan can have no part of the
Philo S. Bennett estate. The supreme
court handed down decision refus-
ing to approve as part of Mr.. Ben
nett's will a letter to his wife direct
ing her to pay $4,000 to The Nebras
kan, and holding that the doctrine of
incorporation by reference has no le-
gal standing in this state.
The decree affirms the finding of
the lower courts and leaves no ground
for Mr.. Bryan to carry the case to a
higher tribunal. The letter on which
the claim was based was written by
Mr.. Bennett May %, 1900, and di-
rected that Mr.. Bryan be given the
sum of $4,000, which had been be-
queathed to her in trust in Mr.. Ben
nett's will The trust clause in the
will referred to this letter, but did not
mention specifically the purpose for
which the money was set aside.

CARE OF THE DAIRY.
Rules Suggested by the Vermont
Dafrymen's Association.

Rules Suggested by the Vermont
Dafrymen's Association.
Stables should be well ventilated,
lighted and drained; should have tight
floors, walls and be plainly constructed.
No musty or dirty litter, no strong
smelling material and no manure should
remain in the stable longer than is alb
solutely necessary.
Keep only healthy cows. Promptly
remove suspected animals. In particu-
lar add no cows to the herd unless it be
certain that they are free from tubercu-
losis.
Do not excite the cows or expose them
to stress of weather.
Feed a good COW literally with fresh,
palatable feeding stuffs. Do not change
these suddenly Provide water, pure,
but not too cold, in abundance
The mixer should be clean and his
clothes likewise
Brush the udder just before milking
and wipe with clean cloth or sponge.
Milk quietly, quickly and thoroughly.
Throw away into the gutter the first
few streams from each teat. This milk
is very watery, of very little value and
is quite apt to injure the remainder of
the milk.
Remove the milk promptly from the
stable to a clean, dry room where the
air is pure and sweet.
Strain the milk through a clean fam
nel$cleth or through two or three thick
nesses of cheesecloth.
Aerate and cool the milk as soon as It
is strained. The cooler it is the more is
souring retarded. If covers are left off
the cans, cover with cloths or mosquito
netting.
Never mix fresh warm milk with that
which has been cooled, nor close a can
containing warm milk, nor allow it to
freeze
Wash all dairy utensils daily, thor
oughly rinsing in boiling hot water and
a little washing soda; scald and drain.
Boil strainer cloths daily. After clean
ing keep utensils inverted il pure air
and sun, if possible, until wanted for
use

mother formerly Princess AlX of
Hesse) and child are both doing well.
The whole empire has been praying
for this, and coming after the birth OF
four daughters in succession it has set
the people wild with enthusiasm. An
imperial salute of 101 guns was fired
from Peterhof and was repeated by all
the forts around st. Petersburg. In
the meantime the announcement had
been telegraphed to the most remote
corners of the empire. In all the towns
and cities the glad tidings were spread
with the clangOr of bells and the boom

FATAL EPIDEMIC
IN MISSOURI TOWN
Thirteen Deaths Within Few Days
from a Malady Resembling
Asiatic COlera.

Macon, Mo-, Aug. 15.-In the Ger
man settlement of Wien, a few miles
south of New Cambria, singularly
fatal epidemic has broken out. With
in the month there nave been thirteen
deaths, which is 25 per cent of the
cases.
Physicians call it tropical malady,
a rare disease in this locality. Death
occurs within four or five days after
the patient is attacked. In the COL
lapse following the induction the dis
ease resembles strikingly Asiatic
cholera. The majority of cases are of
children, although several adults have
died. One of the physicians in at
tendance contracted the diease. It's
origin is not yet definitely determined.

PACKERS STANDING PAT
NEGOTIATION STORY UNTRUE
Mayor Harrison Is to Try His Hand at
Peace Making-More Skilled Workmen
Return to Work.

Chicago, Aug 16.-The packers here
declare fatty that the statements pub
lished that there was to be a confer
ence between them and the strikers
with a view to the adjustment of diff
ticulties were false in every particular.
Two hundred more of the strikers,
many of them skilled wOrkmen, have
returned to the yards and gone to
work.
Mayor Harrison told the meat deal
ers' committee that he would try to
get the packers and strikers together
with view to ending the strike. When
the packers heard this they threw cold
water on the plan. They said they
would be glad to meet Mayor Har-
rison, as they had the retailers. but
that they would emphasize to the city's
executive that work in their plants
was progressing satisfactorily. that
the output was normal and that con-
Sequently they could see no valid rea-
son for u conference with the strik-
erS.
The grocery and market wagon driv-
erS have voted to refuse to haul I'm
fair meat. Inspector Hunt has or
dered the arrest of all pickets. There
is the usual list Of attacks on non-un-
ion men.
Later the mayor arranged to see the
labor leaders this morning at 10
o'clock. He then arranged to meet the
packers, but the time was not fixed,
because the mayor could not tell how
long he would be with the labor lead

The Bell with the Wall of a Child.


A queerly shaped gong which occu-
pies a position of honor in the center of
the city of Seoul, Korea, is said to be
one of the largest in the world and is
called "the bell with the wall of
child in it's voice." When first cast the
bell sounded with a harsh and cracked
note, and the superstitious emperor,
fearing an i'll omen, consulted with his
magicians. These gentlemen held a
long confab and finally stated that the
bell would never sound right until
live child was given to it. The mass
was then melted again, and live baby
was thrown into the molten metal. The
wall Of agony uttered by the little tot
as the bronze engulfed it seemed to
be repeated every time the ball was
tolled, and today the Koreans still
claim that the wall of child can be
heard in the voice of the metal.

FEED FOR MILK COWS

A Texan dairyman in Farm and
Ranch says: We have used these feeds
with pleasant results in about the fol-
lowing proportions for a milk herd
kept for butter productions: Wheat
bran, five pounds; cottonseed meal,
three pounds; rice polish, three pounds;
cotton bulls, twenty-five pounds-thiS
for 1000 pounds live weight. With
feeds given you cannot use cottonseed

Feeding Cows In Illinois.
H.. P. Purviance, who conducts a
dairy farm of 100 head of cows in Lo-
gan county, ILL.,, and who makes a
profit of $7S per cow year, feeds the
following: All the clover hay is fed dur
ing the winter, as much as the COWS
will eat, in addition to from a gallon
to a gallon and half Of corn and cob
meal mixed with wheat bran, the lat
ter being one-third. Less bran is fed
when the clover is extra good. More
bran is used if timothy hay is fed. Less
ground is used when on stalk feed.
Meals For Cows.
Corn and cob meal, when fed to COWS
at the Ohio station, produced more
milk than whole corn. The difference,
however, was very slight, and, as the
percentage Of fat in the milk was
slightly less from the meal than from
the corn, it is a question whether or
not this difference should be considered
at all. Strong, healthy, vigorous cows,
which are not being fed to the limit,
can take care of whole corn in good
shape, particularly if the ears are of
moderate size.-New England Home
stead.
Grain Ration For Cows.
A mixture of 100 pounds each of
bran, oilmeal and cottonseed meal will
give feed that will analyze 2S.2 per
cent protain, 31.5 per cent carbohy-
drates and 5 per cent fat, says III. 6.
Manchester in Rural New Yorker The
cows will eat up reasonably clean
about twenty-five pounds of hay. A
fair average would be five pounds Of
grain per day.
Little Food, Little Milk.
Speaking in q general way, it may
be said that the food supplied to the
dairy COW is designed to serve two pur-
poses. The first and the one that all
ways does and always must take
precedence is the keeping up of the ma
chinery Of life The animal heat must
be maintained and the constant wear
and waste of the bones and tissues OF
the body must be replaced. All this
must be done whether any milk is
produced or not. If suitable material
then remains it will be utilized for the
second purpose of the food, which is
the production of milk. The man
who gives his cows but little food can
obtain but little milk from them, sim
ply because they have very little ma
terial from which to make it. This
rule applies just as fully to the best
cow In the country as it does to the
poorest one.

OUR DEMANDS ARE SATISFIED
Hereafter We Have the Same Rights
as the Most Favored Nation,
Perhaps.

Constantinople, Aug. 16.-After pro-
longed pour parlers and considerable
haggling OH the part of the Turks a
satisfactory solution of the United
Statesan school question has been ar
rived at. This matter which is the
most important of the United States
demands, was settled by extending to
United Statesan schools the same
treatment as that accorded to schools
under the protection OF other powers.
A settlement of other matters affecting
United States interests in Turkey, Of
secondary Importance, has also been
effected, and Minister Leishman has
telegraphed to Rear Admiral Jewell, in
command of the United States squad
ron sent to Smyrna, instructing him to
salute the batteries on land and de-
part
Delay Caused by FunctiOnaries.
The sitting Of the council of minis
tiers at which the settlement was
agreed upon was long one. and it was
not until near its close that an agree
ment was reached. The delay in the
settlement is believed to have been
caused by the intervention of the pal
ace functiOnaries, whose policy, in or
der to retain the sultan's favor, con-
sists of combating the rights and priv
ileges of foreign subjects.
Cause of the Controversy.
Washington, Aug. Is. = A promi-
nent official Of the department of state
makes statement of the questions
with Turkey that have taken SO long
to adjust, in which it is said that for
many years the treatment of educa-
tiOnal establishments in the Ottoman
empire founded and conducted by Unit
ed States citizens, has been very unsat-
iSfactOry. While similar schools under
the direction of other foreigners have
been recognized as existing, and have
been accorded the regular license, or
Imperial frman, upon application
therefor, applications on behalf of the
schools under United Statesan control
have passed unnOticed.
One of Our Claims.
This discrimination was especially
noticeable with regard to the Protes-
tant medical college at Beirut in the
matter of examinations and the right
of graduates to exercise their profess
sion. The United States government
claimed for the United Statesan school
the same privileges accorded the
French medical school at Beirut.
President Takes a Hand.
The earnest efforts of the United
States minister at Constantinople to
secure for our schools and teachers
simple equality of treatment having
met with evasive and dilatory treat
ment by the Sublime Porte. and no
progress having been made toward q
better understanding thepresident took
the matter in hand and it has taken
him since Feb. ., 1903, to bring the
matter to a head, and it was not so
brought until our fleet in the Mediter-
ranean sea was ordered to Smyrna, the
nearest Turkish port on the Mediter-
ranean to Constantinople.
