WOMAN MAY LOSE $50. ooo,o ot

WOMAN MAY LOSE $50, 600, 900.
Appleton, Wis, Aug. "A name,
silver buckle and silver knife and
fork stand between Mrs. Frederick
Lorenz, 95 years old, and an estate
said to be worth $50,000,C00.
While there seems to be no doubt
as to her identity, the aged woman
cannot establish her right to the es-
tate, which was left by her great
grandfather, unless she is now able
to recall his name and produce the
buckle and knife and fork. The will
provides that she call his name and
show the silverware. but she cannot
do either.
Mrs. Lorenz says the silverware
was taken by relatives and that her
memory is SO poor that she cannot
remember the name. The buckle
was presented to the great grand
father by the then King of Prussia
The property has been tied up for
half century and may soon pass to
the Prussian government and rela-
tives of Mrs. Lorenz.

TRIALS Of ANA
TEUR FARMERS
ACQUAINTANCE VS..
INTIMATE RELATIONS WITH
COWS.

There is more than one successful
farmer in the 'Wenatchee valley who
began business without much equip
ment for the work beyond enthusi-
asm. 1t may not seem SO to most of
our readers, but in reality the prob
lem of hitching up two-horse farm
wagon had been the source of much
serious meditation and patient ad-
justment of straps and buckles. A
set of harness to the city man is
about as complicated a bit of mech
anism as wireless telegraph sta
ton to the born rustic
Mr.. j. j. Cape, recently of New
York, has been but a short time
the owner of ranch about mile
from Cashmere. On the lower end
of Manhattan Island, in the neigh
borhood of Wall street, are found
bulls in abundance, and Mr.. Cape
knows the species. But he admits
that his acquaintance with cows is
limited by purely theoretical and abb
stract notions. What grieves Mr..
Cape is that the COW seems to resent
his well meant advances and dis
courages him in his efforts to culti-
vate cordial relations with her. At
ter learning the facts of the case, it
is reasonable to suppose that the
cows objection to Mr. Cape is not
based upon prejudice against New
Workers. Ever since the cow was
!subjugated to the uses of mankind
| it has been customary to milk heI
from the right side, and during a
long period of time she has become
so used to it that any other method
is Objectionable. OF course, the
main object of cows is milk, but the
COW has something to say about how
you are going to get it. If you DOM
believe it, ask Mr.. Cape.

truthfulness of the report.
1t has been learned by the Daily
World since the receipt of the mes
sage containing the news of his
death that Belser, while apparently
a calm man, was carrying on a ter
rible struggle within himself for the
mastery of an appetite which had
been aroused in the earlier years Of
his life.
1t has been ascertained from GER
tain of his intimate friends to whom
he had confided that, while he has
made open outward war against the
saloons in this city, that he was real
ly speaking by virtue of pressure
that few, very few, were aware of.
He was man sincere in his beliefs
and universally respected.
He had confided to some of his
friends that he had formerly kept a
saloon in Kentucky, and it was there
that he acquired the drinking habit.
For years he had been fighting the
appetite, and is not known to have
taken a drink since being in this
city.
1t is believed that on going to
Medford he had gotten in with
parties, and in an evil hour took the
first little snip, which eventually end
ed in his downfall.
AS a member of the council he
was one of the most enthusiastic for
''clean city," and one of the first
members who suggested the doing
away with the dives then located
here.
Mr. Belser left Wenatchee two
weeks ago to be at the bedside of his
son, who has been suffering in a
Portland hospital
Much sympathy is expressed for
his wife in this hour of great afflic-
ton.

JOHNSON WORRYING BRYANp
Nebraskan Would Have Two-Thirds
Rule Changed to Majority.

CHICAGO, April IA move to elimi-
nate the historic "twO-thirds rule from
the regulations governing the democratic
national convention at Denver in July is
charged to the Bryan enthusiasts by the
campaign managers of Gov. Johnson. The
Johnsonians say the Bryanites have be-
come panic-stricken over the progress
made by the Gopher candidate and his
demand Tor uninstructed delegations
1.-The move to send uninstructed delega-
tons to Denver is making SO much prog
the partisans of w. j. Bryan are be-
coming alarmed over the outlook" says
a statement given out at the Johnson
headquarters
They fear the anti-Bryan sentiment
will be represented by nearly or per-
haps half the delegates. and they appre-
bend i'm any event that there will sufff-
cient strength TO prevent Mr.. Bryan's
nomination by the two-thirds vote re-
auired by the rues governing the demo-
cratic national conventions.
1t is understood Senator Stone of Mis-
souri, is drafting a resolution to be offered
at Denver changing the traditional two
thirds to majority. The two-thirds rule
has governed democratic national con-
ventions since 1881"
The Johnson managers are stirring up
more trouble for Mr.. Bryan with the
following statement against the Nebras-
kan'S possible selection for one of his
ca binet jobs should be elected.

Dakota is To be taken at Ills word. NJ

not generally reported that way, but the
fact is that at the South Dakota demo
cratic convention April : Mr.. Petiigrew
had ii announced from the platform that
he was to be Secretary Of the Treasury
in the event of Mr.. BrS ans election. Pet

Senator Foraker has introduced an
amendment to the railroad rate law
passed June 20. 1896. providing that the

CRITICISM OF OFFICIALS
MR.. CARLIN TALKS TO MILK
PRODUCERS.
Says Legislation Asked by Commits
sioners Is Faulty-Attacks
Health Officer.

Mr. Sinclair of Alexandria vigorously
protested against the Carln bill, because
he said there was no right of appeal from
the decision of the board of control.
Mr.. f. l.. Cockereil moved a vote OF
confidence i'm the CarIin bill. which is in
dorsed by the executive committees OF
the association ana of the Milk Dealers
Association. and it was carried without
dissenting voice.
The report that Mr.. Pearre was present
proved to be erroneous. and letter from
him was read expressing his desire to at.
tend if his duties would permit.
The president then brought the bust
ness of the meeting back to the question
of the price of milk.
Mr. Diamond called attention to the
fact that although 30 cents was fixed as
the price of milk at the last meeting
there were some who failed to stand by it,
The semi-annual meeting of the Milk
Producers Association of Maryland Vir-
glna and the District of Columbia was
held this afternoon at the corner of
18th street and Pennsylvania avenue. Mr..
john Thomas OF Ednor. Md. presided.
Considerable discussion was in
dulged upon the price of milk for
the next six months, but action was
deferred when il was known that
Representative Charles &. Carlin of Vlr-
gina and Representative Pearre of Mary
land were present and would address the
meeting. The President then presented
Mr.. Carlin. who said he had no address
to make, but was present to advise them
as to the progress of legislation in their
behalf
Mr.. Carlin advocated taking from the
District Commissioners the power of maxi
ing health regulations and vesting it in
three commissioners. one of whom shall
be representative dairyman
His remarks were largely devoted to the
merits Of the bill introduced by himself. i'm
which the association and the milk dealers
had compromised their differences. He
said the Commissioners objection to the
bill arose from the fact that it took from
them the power to control the milk supply
of the District.
The speaker intimated that Health Of
ficer Woodward. who drew all health
regulations. was always seeking addi-
tional power for himself. The Commits
sioners' bill was sharply criticised
Others declared practically The same.
One member. Richard Harrison. declared
that there were members who were
present advocating II and 10 cents.
when he knew that contracts mad al
ready been made by them to sell at
IA cents.
Mr.. Sinclair stated that if the associa-
ton fixed a price he would stand by it.
