tiers promises showgoers on the preSen-

Grand theatre three nights and Satur-

Mr. Walters has catered TO theatre
goers continuously for a number of
years, and usually lives up to his prom
ises.
In "A Millionaire Tramp" which has
been on tour for six years. he has a
well-established favorite. There is a
happy blend of characters in the play
somewhat different from the ordinary
type. and consistency is said TO play a
prominent part in the production

dances, are securing numerous encoreS

siOns between Boston and New York

loon operator.
Mr.. Glidden is so certain that the
dirigible balloon has the elements of q
successful means of transportation
that he has a Boston firm of lawyers
preparing papers for the incorporation
of the American Aerial Navigation
Company, with rights in the United
States, Canada and Mexico. The pro-
posed company is to be organized with
authority to manufacture and operate
aerial devices of all kinds and to es-
tablish routes for the transportation
of passengers and freight
How the plan will be worked out
will depend materially upon the re-

made by the French and American
governments to determine the eficien-
cy OF aerial navigation in war.

MISSOURI Will TRY
OUT PRIMARY LAW
NEW STATUTE PROVIDES FOR d.
RECT NOMINATION OF ALL CAN
DIDATES.

ST LOUIS, Mo-, July 31.-The Mis-
souri, primary law, providing for the
direct nomination and county Offices,
will be tried out for the first time next
Tuesday. Neither the politicians nor
the general public appears entirely
satisfied with the change by which the
delegate conventions are superseded
by the system of direct nominations.
The party managers are opposed to the
primary because it takes from them
much of the power and influence they
heretofore have exercised in the selec-
ton of candidates for Office The OBJ
lection of the tax payers arise from the
fact that they will have to bear the ex-
pense of the primary, which lis esti-
mated at not less than $175,OO0.
Candidates for Congress and a COM
plete State ticket will be named at the
primary by both the Democrats and
republicans. The contests for nomin-
alton are nearly all on the Democratic
side and the chief interest naturally
centers in the fight for the head of the
ticket. The contest for the Democratic
nomination is three-cornered one.
The aspirants for the seat Of Governor
Folk are David A. Ball of Pike County,
former Congressman William S. Cow
herd and Judge William II. Wallace.

TWO Will
CONTESTS
SUITS TO VOID THE DREIER, AND
TO AMEND THE KAWANANA-
KOA TESTAMENT.

The only matters of interest which
are now going in the courts are will
breaking contests. Two matters OF
this kind are now on foot, both in
large estates. The first of these is the
suit brought by w. A. Kinney, as the
guardian of Emil Dreier, in which he
is trying to break the will made by
August Dreier, the boys father. The
other is the suit of Princess HAVANA
nakoa, who wishes to break the will
made by her husband
The Dreier suit is before Judge De
Bolt at present and is being conduct
ed for the contestant by Attorneys
Prosser and Anderson. Thompson q
Ciemons, who made the will, are on
the other side of the fence. F. A.
Schaefer was the first witness placed
on the stand and was followed by At
torney Clemens. Prosser subjected
his fellow attorney to a pretty stiff
cross examination and the witness
did not appreciate it at all.
The petition in the Dreier case stat
ed that it is desired to break the will
on account of the fact that undue in
fluence was used on August Dreier
when he executed it. 1t is asked that
the court refuse to admit the instru-
ment to probate and declare that Aug
ust Dreier died intestate, then APP
pointing the widow as Administrative.
1t is understood that the contest in
the Kawananakoa case is a matter of
form. 1t is stated that in the writing
out of the instrument on a typewriter
a certain clause in relation to the CIV
ing of the income to the widow was
left out and it is on this account that
a change is desired.
