BY looking at the half page adver-
tisement Of Gallagher and Muller iii
to-day's Journal and Courier, it will
be seen that that enterprising and pop
ular firm has something which will ap-
peal to all who appreciate fine goods,
and great reduction in the prices Of
them. On or about July Is, Gallagher
and Muller will remove from their pres
emit quarters to the handsome and at
tractive store In the Knights OF Colunl y
bus building, Chapel street, above
Temple. And in order to facilitate mat
ters and have as little stock to move
as is possible they have decided to
sacrifice profits on their entire stock
of $4,000 worth Of select, up-to-date
lace curtains, draperies, upholstery
fabrics, art embroideries, ETC., etc.
Thus it will be seen at a glance that
this is a rare opportunity to buy goods
at tremendous reduction.
Gallagher and Muller are, as is well
known, two bright and enterprising
business young men, who have made
a speciality of their line of goods, and
although but engaged in business to-
gether for a comparatively brief time,
yet have made hosts of friends and
patrons by their fair and honorable
dealings, and the excellent quality of
all articles which they sell. Their store
is unique one, and it supplies a long
felt want in this community. They
number among their patrons hundreds
of people from the best families, who
say that they have discovered that they
can find the largest and finest une Of
goods ever kept in this city. The great
sale opens to-day, and it will be con-
tinued until the entire stock is disposed
Of Space forbids enumerating the
goods, and their former and present
prices. But in the large half-page adj
vertisement they can be seen. Doubt
less the store situated at 791 Chapel
street will bs tlironged as it ought to
be by purchasers who will get genuine
bargains and save a number of dollars.

ISBELL WILL FIGHT ON.
BEFORE THE FRO
BATE COURT YESTERDAY.

Attorney Arvine Claims Not One ofsthe
Heirs Are Entitled to Cent--Wstness
Thinks That the win was Changed
After Its Execution.
The contest over the with OF the late
George A. Isbell, the real estate broker,
got a fair start in the probate court
yesterday morning, after series Of
contrivances caused by the absence Of
witnesses to the will.
The will bequeaths apparently all the
Isbell estate to Mrs, Theron A. Todd,
widow of the testator's partner, Major
Theron A. Todd, but 1t is disputed by
blood heirs, that the words ito Mrs..
were written into the will before the
name of Theron A. Todd, after the
the instrument.
Counsel for the blood heirs are Jason
P. Thomson and Isbell and Booth,
while Attorney Irvine Is counsel for
Mrs. Todd.
Attorney Arvine said In court that he
did not believe the clients of Isbell and
Booth had a standing in court, as it
not being an ancestral estate. they
were not close enough related. He said
he believed Attorney Thomson's client,
who Is Mrs Mary G. futile, Is the only
real blood heir, she being q first cousin
of the deceased. This contention will
be disposed Of later.
The witnesses Of the will are Attor-
ney Albert J. Kenyon Of New York and
f. w. Watterson Of New Haven, who Ii
travelling in the west. Another witness
George S. Bolton, is dead. The testi-
mony Of Attorney Kenyon was taken
yesterday morning. He stated that he
drew the will of George A. Tsben at
the time he was in the latter's office.
1t was written in ink and afterwards
witness made a typewriter copy. The
written copy was the one executed.
After writing the will over Isbell took
the written company and hadt it for an
hour and a half part of the time he
being in consultation with Major Todd.
do you think that at the time the
will was executed the words ito
Mrs. had been written in?'' was asked.
ITO the best Of my recollection they
were not"
ibid the other witnesses have an OPP
portunity to read the will?''
They did not. I think Mr.. Isbell pre-
ferred that they should not know its
contents"
| Mr. Arvine also learned from the
witness that Major Todd's property On
the most Of it had been in his wifes
name. This was brought out to show
that it would have been most likely
that Mrs. Todd would be the beneficia.
! ny of the will from her husband,
One of the peculiarities Of the Tsbell
will is that while it was evidently
changed as regards the beneficiary, 1t
was not changed as regards the execu-
1 ton, the name of Major Todd remain
! ing unchanged in that capacity 1t will
be commended that had the name Of the
beneficiary been changed after Major
Todds death, Mr.. Isbell would also
have crossed out the name Of the exec.
utor."
1t is estimated by some that the Is
bell estate is worth about 100000.

canning and preserving meat products,
nor on the alleged doetoring in this
fashion of tainted meat and of products
returned to the packers as having
grown unstable or unusable from age
or from other reasons. Grave allega-
tons are made in reference to abuses
of this nature.
Let me repeat that under the present
law there is practically no method of
stopping these abuses if they should be
discovered to exist. Legislation is
needed in order to prevent the POSSIBLE
ity of all abuses in the future. If no
legislation is passed, then the excellent
results accomplished by the work of
this special committee will endure only
so long as the memory of the commit
tees work is fresh, and a recrudes-
cence Of the abuses is absolutely GER
tain.
1 urge the immediate enactment into
law of provisions which will enable the
Department Of Agriculture adequately
to inspect the meat and meat-foot pro-
ducts entering into interstate commerce
and to supervise the methods of pre-
pairing the same, and to prescribe the
sanitary conditions under which the
work shall be performed. therefore
commend to your favorable considera-
ton and urge the enactment of sub
stantially the provisions known as sen-
ate amendment No. 20 to the act max
ing appropriations for the Department
of Agriculture for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1907, as passed by the sem
ate this amendment being commonly
known as the Beveridge amendment.
