ESTATE EQUALLY DIVIDED
Heirs of Nelson Morris Settle vii
Contest Out of Court.

Chicago, Oct. 1.-THE Tribune
says:
A $50 ,0oo, 900 will contest that was
argued and settled out of court was
disclosed when the last testament of
Nelson Morris, the packer, was filed
for probate.
AS q result Of this remarkable sit
uation the principal provision Of the
will has been nullifed. Instead of
carrying out an arrangement which
would have held the bulk of the estate
In trust for at least fifteen years the
widow and her four children will
divide the property equally among
themselves at once. Instead of $780,
600 and an annuity of $4,000 during
the next twenty years each of the five
principal heirs will receive at once
$6,000,000 in cash and securities.
Furthermore it became known that
before the will was filed each of the
heirs secured title to a fifth part of
the estate. The property was allotted
In equal shares to the widow and the
children in binding agreements signed
by the executors of the estate. When
the trust arrangement had thus been
wiped out the will was filed.

Don't be afraid to do your duty
because someone ridlcules or op-
poses you. A man who has
opinions. Of his own and the cour-
age to advocate them will be
sure to have opposition in this
world because he runs across or
contrary to other peoples opin-
ions; but just keep right ahead if
your cause is right and your cons
cience clear. Don't worry about
what other people say; life is too
short for that. Some will abuse
you through envy, others for the
want of principle, and some be-
cause they honestly differ from
you; but if you keep right on
openly, manfully and intelligently.
and with your proper dignity Of
character, honesty Of purposesand
respect, those who differ. from you
will respect your opinions.-Rich-

ELIMINATES CONVENTIONS
Radical Primary Law Proposed by u
linois Legislators.

Chicago, Oct. 16.-Representative
John G. Oglesby, chairman of the pr.
mary law committee of the house Of
representatives, will introduce a direct
plurality primary bill at Springfield
which would make political conven-
lions things of the past in Illinois and
place all nominations for all Offices
directly in the hands of the people.
Mr.. Oglesby and Attorney General
Stead have drawn the law and they,
with Cicero j. Lindley, chairman Of
the house steering committee, revised
1t. Mr.. Stead, according to the two
representatives, has pronounced it le-
gally 1awless and If the legislature
wants to eliminate conventions from
politics it will have a chance to do so.
The bill provides for the election 1f
party committeeman by a direct vote
and for the nomination of candidates
for all offices from township to state
by the people directly. 1t also pro-
vides for the election of national con.
vention delegates and a%lternates by
direct vote and national conventions
are the only delegate gatherings which
1t recognizes in any form.

Fargo Forum: The car shortage
is not SO much felt in North Da-
kota this fall as last. There are
several reasons for that. The fact
that the crop is shorter than last
season is a material one. The wet
weather delayed threshing and
enabled the roads to keep up bet
ter than before. Added to these is
the further fact that farmers have
pro6ted by last years experiences
and erected buildings in which to
store their grain. Others are be-
ing governed somewhat by the
"hold your wheat" agitation, and
the grain is not being rushed to
the markets, as rapidly as in for
mer years.

RAKE DASH IN DECEMBER
Or. Cooks Plans In Effort to Reach
North Pole.

-
North Pole.
Gloucester, Mass, Oct. 16.-The
former fishing schooner John r. Brad
ley, which took DR.. Frederick A. Cook,
the Brooklyn explorer, to Etah. from
whence he is to make a dash for the
pole, is at anchor in the harbor here.
Captain Moses Bartlett, her comman-
der. who was with Peary in the Roose-
welt, says that Cook accompanied
John R. Bradley, the owner of the
schooner, ostensibly upon a hunting
trip and until their arrival at Etah
he had not announced his intention Of
trying for the pole to any one. He
took only one man from the Bradley,
Rudolph Frankeron, a cook. His plan
Is to stay in Etah until December, or
until the ice pack becomes we'll hard
ened, then dash along the pack. When
open water is met he will cross it in
two canvas boats. Captain Bartlett
says that had Peary had these boats
he would have succeeded in his at.
tempt.
DR.. Cook will take but a few Esqui-
maux and dogs and will relay them in
stations along the way. He will talk
substantially the same route as Peary.
Mr.. Bradley left DR.. Cook a supply of
food for eighteen months.
DR.. Cook, from Etah, has about 1000
miles to cover. He must return by the
same route-across Smith sound over.
land to 81 degrees, then over the ice
pack and sea.

BILL OF LADINe
important Hearing Begun by inter.
state Commission.

Washington, Oct. 16.-An impor.
.tant hearing involving the proposed
uniform bill Of lading on all of the
railroads, Of the country was held at
the Offices of the interstate commerce
commission in this city. Five mem
bers of the commission, namely, Chair
man Knapp and Messrs. Cockrell.
Prouty,, Lane and Clark were present,
while practically every railroad in the
United States was represented, as
we're also the shipping interests. The
purpose of the hearing is to give an
opportunity to all the common car
riers subject to the act to regulate
commerce to be heard as to why the
proposed form for bills of lading
should not be approved and pre-
scribed by the commission as a just
and reasonable regulation or practice
to be observed by them on and after
Jan. / next.

NOW IS BEST
TIME TO TAKE
Directions to Prepare a Simple,
Home Mixture.

A we'll known authority OF
Rheumatism gives the readers of ;
large New York Daily paper the
following valuable, yet simple anc
harmless prescription, which any
one can easily prepare at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one
half ounce; Compound Kargon
one ounce; Compound Syrup Sar
saparilla, three ounces.
Mix by shaking we'll in a bottle
and take a teaspoonful after each
meal and at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients
can be obtained from any good
prescription pharmacy at small
cost, and, being Of vegetable ex.
traction, are harmless to take.
This pleasant mixture, if taken
regularly for a few days, is said tc
overcome almost any case of Rheu.
matism. The pain and swelling, if
any, diminishes with each dose.
until permanent results are OBJ
tanned, and without injuring the
stomach. While there are many
so-called Rheumatism remedies.
patent medicines, etc. some OF
which do give relief, few really
give permanent results, and the
above will, no doubt, be greatly
appreciated by many sufferers here
at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores Of
this neighborhood ELECTS the in
formation that these drugs are
harmless and can be bought sepa.
arately, OF the druggists here will
mix the prescription for our read,
ers if asked to.
