Farmer Meeker called his son
and the three caught the hog after
chasing it for half an hour. It
weighed 300 pounds and was

the Meekers and drove off.

BATTLE ON STATEHOOD BILL.

House PASSES Measure by Vote OF
1914 to 100.
By a vote of 1914 to $50 the State
hood bill passed the House, and the
fight was at once transferred to the
Senate. The end Of the insurrection
against President Roosevelt, Speaker
Cannon and the House organization
was peaceful. The vote upon the
passage Of the bill was perfunctory,
there being no excitement whatever.
The galleries were crowded, but the
attendance upon the floor was not as
large as the preceding day, when the
opposition attempted to prevent the
adoption of the rule for the considera-
ton of the bill.
Philippine tariff reform, Statehood
for the remaining Territories 81 the
mainland and railroad rate legislation
the three subjects Of greatest con-
Germ at the beginning of the Fifty
ninth Congress-have now been put up
to the uncertain Senate.
The Statehood bill, which in its
present form proposes to erect Okla-
homa and Indian Territory into one
State and Arizona and New Mexico
into another, has been thrashed over
in all its aspects for several years.
The desirability of admitting the two
first-named Territories to joint State
hood is nowhere questioned. Oklahoma
has advanced rapidly and promises to
become a wealthy, influential and pro-
gressive State Whatever may be said
against the joint admission of Arizona
and New Mexico, many think that they
should come in together, if at all.
Neither is sufficiently developed to
merit Statehood alone, and the idea OF
giving such sparsely settled common
wealths a senatorial representation OF
four in Congress is declared to be pre-
posterOus.

MARSHALL FIELDS WILL.
Document DispOses of Estate Reck-
Oned at Over $1OO,OOO,OOO.

Oned at over $1OO,OOO,OOO.
Marshall Fields last will and testa-
ment, embracing two codicils and dispos-
ing of an estate reckoned as beyond the
value Of $1OOOOO,OOO, was filed for pro-
bate in Chicago Wednesday. The docu-
ment, which contains upward of $4,000
words, was attested in Chicago and bears
date of Feb. 25, 1904. After making spe-
cifc requests of So, 29S,OOO, the testator
provides that the residue of the estate
go to his grandchildren, Marshall Field
III. and Henry Field, - and 10 years
old, respectively. They are the children
of the late Marshall Field, Jr. To the
widow is left the Field residence and con-
tents, worth upward of 100000, and
$1OOO,OOO in addition. In this connection
it is said that Mr.. Field made large
marriage settlement.
The daughter, Mrs. Ethel Field Beatty
of England, Is to receive the benefit of
trust fund of 100000 and life in
terest in $1,OOO,OOO was set apart for the
widow of Marshall Field II. Gwendolyn
Field, the granddaughter, now 3 years
DID, has 100000 left in trust for her.
The Field Museum Of Natural History
will get $S,OOOOOO and four local chari-
ties are left $4,000 each. Scattering
millions are left to relatives, old en-
ployes and to few friends.
The great magnitude of the inheritance
which falls to the grandsons Of Mr.. Field
may be noted from the fact that young
Marshall Field is to receive three-fifths
and Henry Field two-ffths of the residue
Of the estate and in addition the benefit
of trust fund of $5,OO0,OOO. Thus they
practically now are worth anywhere from
$50, 100000 to $5O,OOO,OOO each.
