REAL SNOW FELL TODAY
There Was Also a Light Frost Last
Night.

Snow fell for a few minutes this af-
ternoon. April is rather late for snow
but even later in the season snow has
fallen in Topeka.
This afternoons snow storm was not
the fault of Weatherman Jennings. He
neither expected nor announced it, al
though in his eighteen years expert
ence with Kansas weather nothing sur
prises him.
There has been cold weather in the
northwest, around Medicine Hat as
usual, and the effects of 1t have been
felt in Kansas. The snoWstorm only
lasted a few minutes and turned to
rain.
The light frost last night was suffi-
cient at least to bear out the weather
bureau forecast. The weather today
has been clear and bright and indicates
a term of pleasant weather.
The forecast sent out today for Kan
sas is fair tonight and Thursday;
warmer tonight" The wind changed
from west to northwest and at noon
was blowing six miles an hour. To-

NEW DISCOVERY
AT BULLFROG
FIuorine is the Latest Find to be
Reported, and is Considered
Important.

1t was reported a few days since
that a rich find, consisting of a ledge
of an average width OF fifteen feet
and three thousand feet in length,
richly stained with f~uor1ne, had
been made on the property Of the
the Lige Harris Bullfrog mining
company at Bullfrog. FIuorine, IN
the Cripple Greek mines, has always
been accompanied by ~sylvanite and
~calverite, tellurides Of gold, among
the richest gold ores known.
The presence OF fuorine is regarded
by a great many expert miners as
being almost positive proof Of the
presence Of the tellurides, and it is
believed that with depth the prop.
erty upon which the find was made
will prove to contain the tellurides
Fluorine is positive evidence of the
volcanic nature of the formation, anc
insures the permanency of the ore
deposits to a great depth.

THE MERCER WILL CASE.
Orphans Court Refuses to
Probate a Parole Will.

The Orphans Court of Fred
erick County has decided not to
accept the parole will offered for
probate by the heirs of the late
William E. Mercer, of Braddock,
who left an estate valued at
100000. Last January the widow
aud four sons of Mr.. Mercer Of
fered for probate an unsigned
will, which was declined. The
three sons then applied for letters
of administration. 1t subsequent
ly developed that a paper pur
porting to be a will was found,
but was destroyed. Those who
heard its provisions read repro.
duced their recOllections of it
and offered the paper for probate.
The testimony of the four sons
and four daughters and the
mother, who had heard the read
ing of the paper was very con.
tlicting. Two of the witnesses
swOre it was signed by William
E. Mercer, while the other two
sons swOre 1t was not sigued.
They all swore, however, that it
was subscribed to by two wit
nesses-Mr. John S. Newman and
Charles w. Ross.
Mr.. Newman said he had no
recollection of ever witnessing
any such instrument, and a state
ment from Mr.. Ross. lately de.
ceased, was to the same effect.
The case attracted much atten-
ton. The Circuit Court called
the grand jury's special attention
to it, which resulted in the in
dictmento of some of the heirs for
alleged perjury.
