Hon. William jackson Addresses
Jury All Day in the Mackin
Will Contest.
TALKS OF UNDUE INFLUENCE
Says Father Mackin's Consideration of
Nieces Was Only NaturaI-M.
M. Sturgeon Finishes.

Hon. William Jackson occupied the
entire day before the circuit court. in
the closing argument for the pro-
ponents in the Mackin will contest
case. The case will now probably reach
the jury tomorrow afternoon or Thurs
day. Mr.. Jackson spent the entire
morning in discussing before the jury
the phase of undue influence which is
considered by both sides to be one of
the most important points in the case.
He referred to the fact that Mrs. Dolly
and Mrs. Mackin had been Father
Mackin's housekeepers, and had cared
for him for long time, and held that
il was only natural that the priest
should remember these nieces in his
will and give them a large portion OF
his estate. He declared that the
charges of undue influence made in the
contestants bill are eXtravagant. He
declared that he spoke for Father
Mackin in his argument. and was de-
Tending the priests strong intellect
and his sense of justice and of graft
tGde.
From the Other Side.
Yesterday afternoon NJ NJ Sturgeon
completed his argument for the con-
testants. He. too, spoke at length on
the undue influence question, and con-
tended that the relations of Grace
Mackin and Father Mackin were very
close, aud that hers was the dominat-
ing mind. He argued that Father
Mackin did not know what was in the
will he signed. and that instead of be-
:ng his will. it represented the will of
Mrs. Dolly, Mrs. Mackin, Mrs. Plamon-
don, and William McEniry. He said
that Mr. McEniry in preparing the will
consulted the others and not Father
Mackin. and that the latter's actions,
as testified to by the witnesses. showed
that he did not know what the will con-
tanned.

association is no longer in existence
Not that the association has been dis
organized, but at the meeting last ev-
ening at the office of the secretary ii
was decided to change the name of the
organization to the Rock Island Bust
ness Mems association. One of the
reasons for the change was to impress
more strongly on the business men of
the city the fact that the association is
not limited in it's usefulness to the re-
tail merchants alone, but is an associa-
tiOn for the furtherance of all the bust
ness and commercial interests of the

membership over 30 per cent in the

the aim of the directors and members
to reach these and secure their cooper

WILL INCORPORATE
Vote of Residents at Meeting is
Unanimously in Favor of
Taking Step.
NON-RESlDENTS BARRED
Proposition of Silvis Land Company in
Regard to Repairing Roads
Was Accepted.

At meeting held last night the res
idents of Silvis voted almost unani-
mously to incorporate at once and ac-
cept the proposition of the Silvis
Land company in regard to fixing the
roads. 1t seems at the other-meeting held
some time ago a great many non-resi-
dents voted and no advance was made
whatever. AT this meeting every voter
was required to register his name and
place of residence The proposition is
that the land company is to construct
a road IA feet wide on each side of the
car track, this road to be covered on
the north side with six inches of gravel
The south side of the road needs very
little attention, as it has the gravel
from the old road, but it needs to be
brought to grade. The land company
has given the citizens of Silvis a bond
of $4,000, as a surety that the work will
be completed by June l, 1907.
VIII Build Concrete Bridge, Too.
The company has also agreed to
build a concrete bridge at Warmers
creek This action will place the con-
troll of the road in the hands of the
citizens of the town instead of the
highway commissioners This is eX-
pected to prove to be the solution of
much of the difficulty that has arisen
in Silvis over the relations between the
Silvis Land company and the commits
sioners.

ABOUT HONEST MEN

The Juneau RecOr5.Miner has been indulging in long editorials about the duty of Alaskans and the necessity of all working together in all things for Juneau's advancement, but it gives itsself away. A paragraph following one of it's long editorials reads as fol- lows:
 ''The term honest has lost it's charms and meaning. No shrewd man of affairs expects or looks for thing as honor bright any more. And when we do, perchance, find 8 really honest man, nowadays, we wonder how he has kept out of the poor house or asylum so long; we adjust our glasses and view him with a sort of scientific curiosity" !"
 The Record-Miner probably had in mind some of the Juneau tories who voted for a self.government plank in the last republican convention and afterwards boasted that they did so in order to bag the Skagway votes to assist them in controlling the cOnven- tion.

 Irregular action of the kidneys caused me great deal of tro ble for more than two years. The kidney secretions were irregular and passages were &C., companied with a scalding sensation. I had more or less pain in my back and stooping or lifting hurt me. used many remedies said to be good for this trouble, nut obtained little relief for this trouble until l bought Dosu's Kid ney Pills.

Because Americans turned away from Maxim Gorky, the so-cslled Russian patriot, when it was discovered that he was introducing as his wife a woman who really is his mistress, the Russian newspapers are calling us Pharisees and fiat swine" They say that the arrangement by which Gorky left his wife and children behind to be support ed by him while he consorted with a new charmed, is entirely satisfactory to the wife, and fl she does not object It is the business of DO other. All of shows how low is the Russian idea of morality, and what a pity for the fame of Gorky that he did not die a martyr in country where 'the love of free dom seems to be linked with some other loves that are not so admirable.
