An interesting point has been decided
In a New Hampshire will case. A New
Hampshire man wanted to make his
will. He was in bed at the time, with
a broken leg and symptoms of lock-
jaw. After he had signed the will the
witnesses took it to a table across the
hallway and wrote their names. Be-
cause of the broken leg he did not
turn over and watch them while they
were doing this. The attested will was
brought back and shown to him; he
looked at the signatures and said "An
right After his death the will was
admitted to probate but not until after
contest. The contestant took the
case up to the States Supreme court
on, exceptions. He gained nothing by
that, though, except experience. The
exceptions We're overruled and the will
stands. when a testator,' said Mr..
Justice Young, the courts spokesman,
sis deprived of the use of any of his
faculties by mere physical infirmities,
the test to determine whether his will
is attested in his presence is to inquire
whether he was conscious of the pres
ence of the witnesses and understood
what they were doing when they wrote
their names and could also, if it had
not been for his physical inf1rmities,
readily have seen and heard what they
were doing, if he had been so disposed"
This looks reasonable, and as New
Hampshire Supreme court says it is
there is reason for thinking it is.

Canadian companies draw S2,loo. With

The Falls should be saved, and they
probably will be. Money and utility

MAG ARA FALLS

There seems to be need of another
awakening if Niagara Falls is to be
saved from ''commercialism." Two
years ago Governor odell vetoed an act
of the New York legislature under the
terms Of which the Niagara river
would have been drained and Niagara
Falls blotted from the list of wonders
Of the world. Failing in efforts to de-
feat the bill before the legislature, the
people OF New York appealed to the
people of the whole country. and the
arguments against the bill were effec-
tive before the governor of the State.
A pending bill is even more vicious
than the bill of two years ago. In the
old bill there were some specious
clauses with which the incorporators
thought to blind the public. In the
pending bill the Niagara, Lockport and
Ontario Power Company is given prac-
tically unlimited rights and privileges
as to the amount of water to be taken
from the river. If the bill should be-
come a law it is the deliberately eX-
pressed opinion of State Geologist
Clarke that, while the Canadian chan
mel would continue to be an interesting
object. the American Falls would be
wholly gone and the reason for the
speedier going CT the American Falls is
thatatheir sill is much higher than the
sill on the. Canadian side.

We beg our generously appreciative
young friend to go to and pull off that
phrase as applied to Judge Mathew

handsomely we should feel inclined to

In his History Of Coal Mining r. w.
Galloway points out that what appear
To be traces of a primitive state of ser
vitude existed in Staffordshire, where
the laborers employed in the haulage OF
coal continued to be known as ''bonds-
men''--a name probably coming down
from a remote period, a supposition
which receives support from a peculiar
service required of them, known as
ssbuildases. This consisted in working
at times in the morning without receiv-
inc any payment beyond drink of ale.
This custom of exacting labor without
pay is supposed to represent some an
cient service required from their ten
ants by the monks of the Abbey of
Buildwas, in Shropshire, whence the
name was derived.

Throwing the Bali

An Indian was showing the boys
how to throw base ball, on Main
street Saturday night. He threw
from crossing to crossing, 300 feet,
something that none of the ball play.
erS CT late years IN Kimball have been
able to accomplish. But the old Kim
ball club had several who could do
the trlcK-modesty preventing NAM
ing one--while n OF the boys-Elmer
Ware-could throw 800 feet. Ware
was the original pitcher of the club,
but lost control of the ball. In his
first days here he could throw a ball a
block and curve it twenty feet in the
distance. After he quit the box we
put him on third. and the way he
could throw a call across to first was
something frightful. Yet, VIII Col
vim, bookkeeper in the old Farmers &
Traders bank, would come out from
his desk and hands as soft as a girls
and handle Wares hot ones without
a glove of any kind, better than any
first baseman that has eyer followed
him IN this town, with a mitt as big
as a ham.
The record for long throws was
made by n Ed. Crane in 1854, 406
feet and one half inch, a record that
has stood for 81 years. A member of
the Columbus, Ohio, team made a
slightly better throw later, but it was
never put on the records.
