SHARES IN DAILY ESTATE.
Actress Wins Suit for One-Fifth In.
come From London Theater,

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-Ada Rehan,
the actress, will receive, by the de-
cision of a referee, one-fifth of the in
come from Days theater in London.
The contest just settled was not over
the whole estate, in which, by will,
she had one-fifth interest. According
to 1ler counsel, William A. Jenner, the
amount which Miss Rehan will receive
is a considerable one, up in the thou
sands. Augustin Daily bequeathed to
her one-fifth of mis- estate. Joseph DAILY
the executor, thought she should re-
ceive no share of the theater until it
should be sold, but as it is under a
long lease, Miss Rehan's attorney in
sisted she should receive one-fifth of
the income from the tneater. The ref
cree, Robert Deyo of this city, has de-
cided that one-fifth of the income shall
go to this legatee This decision is
retroactive and will give Miss Rehan
claim on all earnings since filing of
the will Miss Renan has already re-
ceived one-fifth of the rest of the Daily
estate.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, Jan. 49,
Robert M. Metzger, engaged in the CT
gar business in this city, mas received
notice that the Holland government de-
sires to find the heirs Of Thiebauld
Metzger of that country, for the pur-
pose of distributing $12S,0O0, 900 among
them
Thiebauld Metzger, in the seven
teenth century, was made governor of
Breda, and became a money lender
He loaned 100000 francs to the gov
eminent and when he died in 1891, the
government took his estate, valued al
100000 francs, it being stipulated
in the will that it should be returned
to the heirs after 100 years. 1t has
never been returned, but the govern
ment is said to have recognized the
justice of the claim and waits proof of
the identity of the heirs.

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-An organiZa-
ton in which a large number of prom
inent society women are interested, has
been formed for the purpose of provid-
ing help and assistance for many OF
the educated foreign women mostly
teachers and governesses, who are con-
livelihood. Many of these women fail
to succeed in their vocation and many
are compelled to seek the assistance
Of the consular representatives of their
German consul has taken great interest
in the plan, as there is comparatively
a greater number of German governes-
ses than Of any other nationality.
Among other prominent society women,
who took great interest in the matter
are Mrs. Isaac Guggenneimer and Mrs.
Ludwig Sutro The real originator of
the matter however, was a German
governess, whose experience during the
twenty years of self-suppOrt in Ameri-
ca has taught ner many things about
the hardships which women of her
class have to endure
The organization proposes to begin
on small scale. A fiat will be rented
and furnished, which will serve as a
social center for those who often
know absolutely no one in the city and
are helpless and without means. 1t is
hoped that in the course of time the
scope of the organization can be en-
larged and a regular club house for
governeSses and teachers erected.

HAVE YOU WEAK LUNGS?
Do You Fear Consumption?

When we take into consideration
the fact that one out of every seven
in this climate dies of consumption, is
it any wonder that it is feared by the
lungs and chronic colds and coughs?
A famous London physician has for
years urged his patients, when the
slightest tendency to consumption ap-
peared, to take the best cod liver oil
preparation they could find, and ply
sicians everywhere have recognized
that the Gods liver contains curative
values for coughs, colds, bronchitis,
consumption and all wasting diseases
unequalled in medicine, but, unfor-
tunately, few could take and derive any
benefit from old-fashioned cod liver oil
and emulsions on account of the indi-
gestible grease which they contain.
The Green & Jackson Drug Co., says,
I'VE want every person in Walla Walla
10 know the value of our new cod liver
preparation, Vinol. 1t actually con-
tains in concentrated form all of the
strengthening bodybuilding elements
of cod liver oil actually taken from
fresh Gods livers, without drop of oil
or grease to upset the stomach and re-
tard it's work.
Therefore, where old fashioned cod
liver oil or emulsions would do good
Vinol will do far more good. We
guarantee Vinol will improve the
appetite, strengthen digestion, make
rich, red blood, create strength, cure
chronic coughs and colds and strength
en- weak lungs. If Vinol fails to give
satisfaction, we return your money
without question. "-Green & Jackson
