MARSHALL FIELDS WILL,

The late Marshall Field always paid
his taxes cheerfully and never swore
them off by increasing his debts and
decreasing his property under oath.
He made a will which left the bulk OF
his immense property to his grandsOns
in such a way that the great mercan
tile institution of Marshall Field & Co
will be continued intact until they
have arrived at mature years He
left comparatively small requests to
charities, but this is explained by the
statement that during his lifetime he
gave very literally to colleges. hospi.
tails and churches, and in his will he
felt he had the right to practically con
fine his gifts to the public to the great
sum he gave the Field museum of nat
ural history. He left for it SS,000,0 900,
one-half of which is to go for endow-
ment.
There is also to be taken into con.
sideration that by the mere fact of Mr..
Fields death the state of Illinois and
Cook county will benefit over $780,
600 by the operation of the inherit
ance tax. This is a great gift to the
public and is distributed among all
who pay taxes in the state. This, in
connection with the fact that Mr. Field
was scrupulously honest in his atti-
tude toward the tax authorities. would.
without any public requests in his will,

Chicago, Feb l9-Attorneys repre-

The tangle in Creelman affairs, it
is said, may affect a number OF banks
throughout the United States These
banks have accepted stock OF the aIi-
Gus lumber companies as collateral tor

receiver for Creelman S interests, this
stock, 1t is asserted, viii be valuitss.
The first move against the Creelmau
interests in Chicago was made Satur
day in the United States court. when
a voluntary petition was filed against
the Henry Aaronson company, pict

The stock of this concern is said to be
owned largely by the Creelmans. This
petition also asked for a receiver for
the company
According to The petition in the
Creelman case, the alleged act in
bankruptcy is set forth as transferring
on December l. the last OF 4S0 shares
of the capital stock of the Illinois
Hardwood Lumber company to the
jackson Trust and Savings bank OF

Few people in Wisconsin are famiE
lar with the vast amount of work
done at the agricultural experiment
station; it is only when discovery is
heraided over the world that the aver

lance OF these labOrers in the field of
discovery. Every farmer owes it to
himself to keep as nearly in touch as
possible with the experiments and
the results of tests as made in this
branch of the college of agriculture
For example, take the item of mich
cows Tests of pure-b bred dairy COWS
OF various breeds have been conducted
by this experiment station since the
middle of the eighties and under the
direction of Professor F. w. Vol

ner as heretofore. The summary of
these tests and the different breeds
of COWS is as follows, from 1898

KING GIVES HOPE
FOR HOME RULE
SPEECH FROM THRONE DELlV-
Erred TO PARLIAMENT.
WARNING BY LANDSD0WNE
Former Minister of Foreign Affairs. in
New Role of Leader of opposit on,
Points Out Dangers Chamberlain
Promises Uneasiness for the Gov
eminent.

London. Feb 20.-The pointed ref
erence to Ireland contained in King
Edwards speech to parliament yester-
day, coupled with the announcement
OF determination to grant a consti-
tUtional government to the transyaal,
brought these two questions immedi-
ately to the forefront in the debate in
both lords and commons on motions
on the address in reply TO the speech
from the throne In the lords the de-
bate was almost perfunctory, except
where Lord Landsdowne, assuming
his new role OF leader of the opposi-
ton in the upper house, pointed out
certain dangers connected with the
proposed changes and incidentally
commented on the Algeciras confer
ence and the situation in Macedonia,
Warning the government of possible
difficulties arising in the near east I'M
less Great Britain maintained firm
atfitIde.
In commons the debate On the adj
dress became interesting when Joseph
Chamberlain, in the absence of Bal
four. took the place of the leader Of
the opposition and in brilliant and
lengthy speech attacked the govern
ment an all points and especially on
its south African policy. He threw
down the gauntlet regarding home
rule for Ireland Regarding tariff re-
form. Chamberlain promised 10 give
the government several bad quarter
hours
Chamberlain speech undoubtedly
was the feature of the first day Of
commons. Premier Campbell Banner
mans reply was lengthy and good
humored, the speaker assuming that
his position was one of such strength
that he could afford to be generous
The reference to Ireland in the
kings speech is received with min
gled feelings and some degree of doubt.
Nationalists are non-committal and de
cline to accept as more than a posi-
bility this seeming step toward home
rule John Redmond, who followed
Premier ampbell-Bannerman at the
night session, boldly announced that
the nationalists would not be salts
fed with anything short OF complete
lf-government On the other hand
some less radical Irish members do
not hesitate to say that the clause in
the kings speech means a modified
form of home rule and intimate that
Redmond would be satisfied with such
a step as it would surely guarantee
home rule in the future
Laborites profess themselves we'll
pleased with the clauses in the king
speeches affecting their speci4f in
