A One-Horse Farmer Who Was a Hero
Of Industry.

ing for himself and his wife: better still. he lived
an active. happy helpful life. and without any
display any claim to greatness. did his work so

The present session Of Congress will
probably see a bitter hght on the
question of postal savings banks.
This question has been agitated at the
capitol for some years, but it has
never beeu put to a vote in either
body because the republican leaders
in Congress thought it wiser to wait
until the sentiment of the country
had become soiidified, after all had
been given an opportunity to study
the proposal. The advocates of the
measure contend that as it was
adopted as a part of the republican
platform at Chicago, it is necessary to
vote on it at the coming sess ion.
There are others, however, who be-
fieve that the matter should not be
taken up until the monetary comis-
sion has made its repor: to Congress,
rs the question of the postal savings
banks has direct bearing on the g.
nancial system of the country, and as

eive scheme the commission lie ex-

JORDAN WILL cAse.


Special Administrator Secures Pos-
session Of Estate.
The report OF the referees in the So
called Jordan win case has Just been re-
ceived, and opens the concluding chapter
Of this celebrated case which has occupied
the attention OF the probate, supreme and
law courts during the past two years.
The history OF the case has several times
been printed in THE AMERICAN. Briefly,
it follows:
Mrs. Frankie M. Jordan, of Oriand, died
Dec. Z, 1897, leaving . will, which was
proved and allowed Feb. !, 1888, and upon
which letters testamentary were issued to
Andrew J. Jordan, OF Oriand, husband OF
the deceased.
Andrew J, Jordan, the executor and
principal beneficiary under the will, died
proved and allowed March 5, 1907, and
upon which letters documentary were
issued to the Merrill Trust Co., OF Bangor.
Later the question OF the validity OF the
will of frankie NJ. Jordan was raised, and
proceedings instituted in the probate
court for the annulment OF that will.
This resulted in decree by Judge OF Pro-
bate 4. f.. Chase, annulling the decree
probating the will OF frankie NJ. Jordan.
The decree as to this point was sus-
tanned by the law court, and the will was
again presented to the probate court for
probate, and petition denied. Petition for
the appointment OF q special administra-
tor was then allowed, and Charles }. Dunn,
of Orono, was appointed.
Mr.. Dunn, as special administrator,
thereupon instituted proceeding to secure
possessions of the estate from the Merrill
Trust Co., and il was this case that was
recently heard by Justice
L. A. Emery, and Associated Justices Will
liam p. Whitehouse. and A. N. Spear.
The report of the referees awards to
Charles j. Dunn, administrator, $500
and costs to the amount OF Ss91.l2 OF the
goods and estate Of Andrew j. Jordan in
remains for the administrator, through
the probate court, to make division OF the
property among the heirs OF frankie M.
Jordan.
The rescript OF the referees accom-
panying the award, signed by all the
referees, is as follows:
In making this award we have considered
the matter in cont royersy TO be bet ween the
estate OF Franks NJ. Jordan, represented by
tate Of Andrew J. Jordan. represented BY the
Merrill Trust Co.. executor. We have not con-
sidered what interest the executor or heirs OF
Andrew j. Jordan may have in the estate OF
frankie NJ. Jordan upon distribution, but
leave that question to the probate court.
Further, In making this award We have
considered and included in our award what
We find TO have been received by Andrew J.
Jordan for real estate OF Frankie n. Jordan
sold by him as residuAry legatee.
We have also deducted from the amount
found against the estate Of Andrew j. Jordan
s2.2so paid by him to Josiah H. Partridge, his
share OF the estate OF Frankie NJ Jordan. and
also $4,000 paid by him to Oscar +. Fellows
for other heirs Of frankie NJ. Jordan

Cure CatarrA.
Catarrh can never be cured by tax
ing medicines into the stomach nor
by sprays, atomixers or douches.
Intelligent physicians have long
ago discarded such ideas and not one
OF them would be worth consideration
we're it not for the fact that upscrupu-
lous persons prey upon the ignorance
OF the people in regard TO now dis
coveries.
Catarrh is caused by germs and just
as long as these germs thrive In the
folds, crevices, hooks and corners of
the mucous membrane that line the
nose, throat and chest, Just 90 long
will you have catarrh.
There is only one way to cure ca
tarrh, and that is to kill the germs.
There is only one remedy that will
kill the germs when 1t gets where the
germs are, and that Is Hyomei.
Hyomei is made chiefly from Aus
tralian Eucalyptus and Eucalyptol
combined with other germ killing an
tiseptics. just breath II in through
the hard rubber inhaler that comes
with each outfit and relief is immedi-
ate. Used regularly for few weeks
