 PECULIAR PROVISIONS.
xs iahea Are Fulfilled, Property Now Valued nt S2,OOO,OOO Will Amount To Billion Dollars When

Bloomington, Ill, Aug. 5-The pro batting of the will of Colonel Thomas Shell is causing lively interest III Central Illinois and Northern Iowa, where he had investments and property valued at approximately $2,OOO'OoO,
 Of five children. only one son. Rich ard Shell, of Clinton, III Is living. vet Colonel Shell cut off this only son en- tirely In fact the entire estate IS put in trust, and is not to be distributed until twenty years after the death of the youngest heir. The youngest daughter of Mrs. William H.

 If is estimated that if the intentions of the testator are carried out to the letter, and the estate not divided Tor sevent-five or 100 years, 1t Wlll' with it's present earnings, amount close to billion dollars.
 The heirs at law will attempt to show that the eccentricity of the testator incapacitated him from making an equitable distribution of nls property. In this they will be strongly aided by the known mental an1 physical fall ings of Colonel Thomas Shell. Shrewo. close and grasping by nature, he was at times fanciful and flighty.

swINEMUNDE MEETING.
Press SThinks 1t Affects The Russian
 Anglo Agreement.

AnBlO ABTcchcuts
 St. Petersburg. August 5-Public opinion here attaches importance to the Swinemunde meeting only as af- fectfng the progress of the Anglo Rus sian negotiations, which will soon close.
 The choice of the time for the inter view, just proceeding the conclusion of the Anglo Russion accord, is taken as a demonstration of the fact that the traditional friendship of the Rus sian and German courts remains in tact and has not been affected by the newer friendships
 The present state of the Angle Rus sian negotiations is such that Germany could easily affect the ultimate issue. During the last two years the Russian and British governments have taken up successively all the questions af- fecting their interests. principally in the near and middle east, and while the utmost frankness has been dis played on both sides. coupled with evident willingness to reach a common ground for agreement yet up to the present, the whole scheme is still in process Of negotiation and a great deal depends upon the deliberations of the next few weeks.
 The understanding may be expanded into a political agreement similar to the Anglo French entente and 1t may be contracted into a settlement of local questions In either cose the negotia- tions have served to bring the two powers closer together than they have heen for a century
 The Russian liberal press. whose sympathies naturally favor Russia's adherence to the Anglo French group. ventures the opinion that the meeting of the emperors at Swinemunde will not exercise any appreciable effect on foreign afafirs.

MERIDIAN TAKES FIRST GAME

McCay's Men Claim They were Badly Treated By Umpire Fitxsimmons On Third Base Decision in
 Sixfh

Mobile, Aug. 5--Meridian grasped the hrst game of the series this afternoon from the locals by the score of 4 to Q. making all of their runs in the sixth inning after Fitzsimmons had given one of the worst decisions seen here for some tme in favor of the visitors.
 Brunner was sent to the rubber by McCay and was opposed by Shultz for the visitors. Both men were in hne form and pitched m -gnificent ball, without either team getting a run until the fatal sixth.
 Tn this inning Andrews was hit by a pitched ball. Sample followed him and drove a single to right center and Andrews tried for third on the play. This is where Fitzsimons got in his work for Hoffman on third was wait ing for Andrews and tagged him fully two feet from the third sack as the visiting right fielder slid for the bag.
 He scored a second later on an inf1eld out. and after this the locals seemed to have had all the heart taken out or them, for Brunner let down and with three hits and base on balls Meridian chased over three more runs.
