Will OF KlNCMAN|
Last Testament OF Peoria Manu-.
facturer Dwe!Is Upon Relics
Of the Civil War.
THAT THEY BE PRESERVED
Relatives Are Well Remembered in
Disposal OF Property-One
Charity Benefited.

81 beuueath as keepsakes which are
dear to my heart, to be preserved by
my wife during her life, my sword
and field glasses, with sash, which
used during my three years service
in the war. AT the death of my wife
bequeath the sword to my son, l.. S.
Kingman, the field glasses to w. B.
Kingman, and the sash, with such
other army relics as may have, to my
daughter; said relics to be preserved
and handed down by them with the
commissions in the army, one of which
shall be given to each child as re-
men,brance that their father served
his country, to preserve it in its hour
of peril"
Such IS one of the final clauses in
the will of Martin Kingman which was
filed for probate at Peoria. After dis
posing of vast estate with the dis
cretion of an astute business man his
memory rolled back to the time when
he was a soldier and gave his early
manhood to the service of his country.
At the close of his life and after he had
reviewed his business achievements
ne regarded as his most glorious peri
cd the three years he had served in the
army during the civil war. and the
three mementoes which he speaks of as
dear to my heart" as his most cherish
ed possessions.
VIII In vOlumlnOus.
The will. which covers ten type
written pages was signed Oct. 9, 1902,
disposes first of the property held by
him as an individual and then relates
to his interests in eight corporations.
To his wife he gives his homestead at
203 North Perry avenue with all that
il contains and an allowance of $4,000
year for it's maintenance. She is also
given SIS 900 in cash and in lump

So 900; to each of the four children of
his deceased brother. Charles Kingman.
81 900; to his half brothers, Robert and
Peter Bogardus. and his half-sisters,
Mrs. Mary Conibear and Mrs. Lucy
Cowden. the sum of 800 each. Under
the original will these four were given

ed employee. is left $1,000. and to Mabel
Durham. $3.50 a year as long as she
lives. To Kingman Willard and Martin

year for 10 years, and if at the end OF
that time it shall be regularly discharg-
ing the objects for which it was intend

sum to be known as the Kingman con-
tribution. The executors named are

Match Declared OF.

Chicago Jan. 5.-The match between
Tommy Mowatt and Kid Herrick,
arranged several days ago by the Olym-
pic Athletic club of Grand Rapids, was
declared off yesterday. The manage
ment did not consider Herrick formid-
able enough for Mowatt, and wanted
him to fight Billy Finucane. but the
purse did not warrant him lighting so
tough proposition. Mowatt is cesir-
Gus of fighting Finucane, but not for a
few hundred dollars.

Didn't Know it Was Loaded.

Many young and middle-aged men
never know that their scalps are load
ed with microbic growths, until the
hair has gone Off" Nature sends her
warnings of dandruff, itching scalp
and falling hair. but the discovery OF
the dandruff germ is too recent for
the public to realize the danger of
neglect. Newbro's Herpicide positive.
ly destroys the dandruff microbe /:
stops falling hair and protects the
scalp against reinfection. 1t is a most

Nelson and Murphy Part.

San Francisco. Cal, Jan. 5.-Battling
Nelson left for the country yesterday
on a hunting expedition. Before he
departed he declared that he had sew
cred all relations with Ted Murphy.
He said he felt that after all that had
passed between them il would be utter
ly impossible for them 10 get along
tremendously. Nelson has as yet Sc
cured nobody to look after his inter-
ests, and will no doubt let the matter
rest until his return from the north
He fully expects to get return match
with Jimmy Britt. and is laying his
lines TO that end, although from pres
ent appearances it looks as If Battling
Nelson will have to be content with
return engagement with Young Cor
bett," as the champion is after the in
ternational match with JabeZ White,
who looks easier and would draw as
good house. Nelson is sore over the
way Murphy treated him after his vic
tory over Corbett. Nelson can easily
secure a new manager. but Murphy
will have trouble in getting so good
man as the Dane.

Election Results Surprise
Even Those Winning


me senate~anu II In the house.
The city party's (reform) plurality
in Philadelphia is 1888 for sheriff and
the fusinoist candidate for state treas
urer Berry, carried the city by over
$4,000 plurality. The upheaval was
the greatest in Pennsylvania for many
years.
The Maryland negislative situation
is in doubt.
In Rhode Island the republican gu
bernatorial candidate has a plurality
estimated at 5000 and Providence
elects republican mayor for the first
time in many years.
In Massachusetts democratic threats
are made for recount Of the vote for
lieutenant governor The republicans
in Massachusetts score 29,116 plurality
for Guild for governor, though Draper
for lieutenant governor got less than
1000 plurality. The democrats gained
three senators and one representative
in the Legislature.
Every candidate Of the Union Labor
party in San Francisco was elected by
a substantial majority; in Salt Lake
City the anti-Mormon victory is made
complete by the election of the entire
american party city ticket.
The Kentucky legislature, which will
elect a successor to Senator Blackburn,
apparently will include 81 democrats,
five republicans and two doubtful In
the senate and 70 democrats, IA re-
publicans and seven doubtful in the
house. The democrats elected mayor
in Louisville by about $500.
Nebraska was swept by the republi-
cans. Returns from other states and
cities show notable changes.
President Roosevelt and members OF
the cabinet received the latest returns
from the various states and cities from
different sources during the day and
Wednesday night and showed a keen
interest in the results There was some
surprise evinced here at the political
revolution in Pennsylvania and Ohio
and at the close margin Of the mayor
