SEARS MADE ADMINISTRATOR.
TannahilI Will Contest Comes Up in
Court On Appointn1e

r. E. Sears, of this city, was this
morning appointed special administra-
tor of the estate Of Robert Tannahill,
formerly of Marietta, who left prop
erty valued at approximately $4,000.
Should the will and its codicil be held
to be good by the court, Mrs. Henry
Stone. of this city, will get the residue
of the estate, which, 1t is estimated, to
be of a value of about $4,000 or $4,000.
Her interest in the estate comes thru
her husband, who was named in the
will as trustee of the estate, and who
was bequeathed in the will itself, and
also the codicil, as the beneficiary of
the residue of the property after the
requests given had been made
The contest on the will itself is
brought by Robert Harper nephew
of Marietta, and others. The allegation
set up is that Tannahill was mentally
incapable of making a will, and that he
was unduly influenced The ben
eficiaries of the will are all minors, the
Wardman children, of near Marietta
and other minor heirs in Tennessee
The property given these heirs was tc
pc neld by the trustees unit, the heirs
became of age.
The Tennessee heirs, who were giver
property of about $4,000 or $4,000, have
contested the codicil Of the will, alleg-
ing that the trustee appointed by the
4 will influenced its provisions.
4 The special administrator appointed
/ is to take charge of the assets Of tn.
/ estate, and the case on the will will
perhaps come to trial at the next tern

Eight more of the city's wells are to
be moved, by having the strainer

other places near by. This was ordered
done, and a fshwav ordered built in
the new concrete dam, at a special

Thursday afternoon at o'clock.
Three of the wells have already been
moved. 1t is estimated that it costs
about $40 each to move and sink the
wells in other places. The eight or
dered moved and resunk at the spe-
cial meeting Thursday. are to be Shift
ed about twelve feet from their pres

man holes and mains. It was ordered
that every fourth we'll is to be so
treated, and instructions were issued
that the necessary material be pur-
chased.
The mayor and city engineer were
ordered to have built into the dam a
fishway that will comply with the re-
Iquirements of the state game laws. A
plan for fishway approved by State

Master Simon, a
Musical Prodigy

Nfarshalltown seems more than ordi-
narily rich in musical talent, and that
not only in her more adult population.
Among the younger musicians of the
city who are attracting attention and
who have begun to appear in public,
is Master Sydney Simon, son OF Mr..
and Mrs. A. H. Simon, who gave
several piano numbers before the
Women's Club at dts last meeting, and
astonished as well as delighted his
audience by the skill, far beyond his
years, with which he gave two difficult
classical numbers, from memory. Mas
tor Sydney's musical career gives evil
dence of much promise, and his tech-
nique and Interpretation are far out Of
the ordinary for pupil Of his age

folk Directory Humbug.

If you have one or both of the
telephone directories in your
place you would be very foolish
to order a copy of Folks direct
DRY for you would not get half
the service from it as you would
the two. Try it when you will
or may and nine times out of ten
Folks directory instructions are
incorrect. 1t is simply an adj
vertising scheme and every time
he can rope one into buying a
directory it is simply finding the
amount of money you pay for it.
A worse gold brick scheme was
never before operated in the
Northwest and while the COM
pany works on the theory a
sucker is born every minute and
if we do not get one we will get
the other, yet the business men
of Seattle should think a minute
before ordering so worthless a
publication and if they did so
they would hardly do it.

Good Man Gone.

When T. B. Corney Weld
ed up the ghost and crossed to
the great beyond, one of the
noblest hearts that was ever en-
closed in a human body ceased to
beat. He never betrayed conf
dence nor sacrificed a friend. He
was generous to a fault and never
failed to respond to an appeal.
He was concientiousness in per-
lection and fairness to the limit.
Of the good, it is said, they die
young, but he lived to ripe old
age and scattered seeds of kind
ness almost from his cradle to
his grave. Mr.. Corey, aside
from his hundred and one good
qualities towards his fellow men
was man of vast experience
and a ripe scholar. AS a coal
mining expert he had few equals
in the Northwest. For many
years he was superintendent of
the Oregon Improment Com
pany's mines and for time held
the same position with the same
company as the Pacific Coast
Company 1t was T. B. Corey
that imported Negroes for
Franklin and Newcastle to break
the strike some twenty years ago.
In there struggle for self preser-
walton he never deserted them
nor grew Indifferent. He lost
his own standing with the COM
pany protecting their interest,
and when he was forced to resign
from the mines they no longer
had a friend at court and slowly
but surely they were weeded out
until today but bakers dozen
remain at both camps. Repeat
edly did he say in life, II want
as many of the black men to
follow my remains to my grave
as will. They have been my
friends and / trust I have been
theirs" That the world is
brighter and better for his life
every one who knew him will
verify testify to.

the time and means to spare and

present his case knocks the per-
simmons, although he may be
the least qualified. There is no
doubt of this being the case for
it has been shown to be true
wherever it has been tried. The
evidence of this has been shown
right here in our state and King
county elections. We need not
mention names but there were at
least two candidates in this
county nominated who have been
the least satisfactory to the
people as officers. 1t takes the
average voter too long to get the
proper information as to the
standing and qualification of each
candidate and he has to go il
blind. This defect should be
remedied in some way by oul
next legislature.
