A. o. q. w. Bought Bonds.

E. j. Moore, Grand Master Work.
man of tile A. o. q. ": of North
Dakota has closed the deal for pur-
chasing refunding bonds issued by
the city of Devils Lake to the
amount of Sl2, 900. The city obtained
the money at 519 per cent which is
quite a reduction over the rate Of
the old bond. 1t must be a source
of satisfaction TO know that there is
a fraternal society in North Dakota
which is able to make loans of this
size on short notice. Three years ago
the workmen lodge of this state
adopted what is known as the ''level
raGe'' plan of insurance. Up to the
present time the lodge has surplus
of 5000, 900, and no liabilities. The
surplus is loaned upon the better
class of securities, and it is admitted
by insurance experts that the level
rate plan adopted by the Workmen
is as near perfect as can be worked
out. The loan to the city of Devils
Lake was made largely owing to the
fact that the town, has one Of the
largest lodges In the state.

MCDONALD WILL
SETTTL Ed TODAY
HENRY MERRICK APPOINTED AID
MINISTRATOR- Az GUARD
IAN OF THE chilli.

The child of the late Mary c. Nc
Donald will receive share of the
mothers estate. Upon the opening OF
the district court this morning the
Mcdonald will came up for probate.
Although the prevalent idea among
the legal fraternity about the court
room was to the effect that the matter
was finally patched up between the
parties interested last evening, this
idea was exploded and for a time 1t
was thought that all was off. 1t all
happened through Attorney Smith in
behalf of the guardian of the minor
child, Everett Jacob Mcdonald, asking
the court that the following reserva-
ton be recorded with the will if pro-
bated: without prejudice to the
right of inheritance of the minor child,
Everett Jacob Mcdonald, who it is
shown was born after the making OF
the will by the testatrix, Mary G. Nc
Donald" This was objected to by
Attorney Cory and resulted in the
clause finally being altered to read
''The minor child who it is claimed
was born"
The contention by Attorney Smith
Was TO the erect INdL lue Will Was VI
no force or effect in law, owing to the
subsequent birth of the child and that
no need for proving of the will existed.
'If, however, the will is admitted to
probate" contended the attorney for
the guardian. 81 wish the above re-
servation inserted to protect the
child in the premises
The section Of the code under which
the matter was adjusted is section
9279 of the supplement of the code of
the Thirtieth general assembly, which
in substance states, "That the birth
of legitimate child after the making
of the last will, gives to the child the
same share (two-thirds) of the estate,
as if no will existed. and in like man
ner to the parent his proper share
(one-third) of the estate"
The court appointed as admins
traitor Of the estate, Henry Merrick,
of the Phoenix Trust Co., with bond
of $1,000, and upon the resignation of
Charles Chiffon as guardian of the
child Henry Merrick was also
appointed guardian of the child
with $4,000 bond. The estate
is conservatively estimated to be
worth about $4,000, Of which about
5000 is in the bank and the balance
comprises building on East Second
street, the home and eight lots in the
vicinity of the Ottumwa cemetery.
