ABOUT NOISES.

The big whistle on the McKinon Mfg.
Co.'s plant at Grand Rapids, which
was blown for twenty years, at $50 a.
m., has been silenced on account of
that annoyance to guests at hotels and
strangers within the confines of the
city. Wausau has had to do some
thing along the lines of abating noises
that were annoying. First the grunt-
ings0i hogs was an annoyance on our
streets; then COWS, with bells on,
troubled our people, SO all cows were
kept off the streets; the county clock
which tolled off every half hour,
pretty nearly drove strangers to strong
drink-they stayed pail night for fear
of being awakened by the ''durned
thing" Then there were several
factory whistles, on sliding scale,
which had to be attended to. Down
in one of the towns in the southern
part of the state it has been made a
misdemeanor after 10 p. m. to sing, or
play on a musical instrument so as TO
disturb the neighbors. 1t will be so
after while that person can't even
let out good healthy snore without
giving offense, and be liable to arrest.

daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John Shu-

an errand had been delayed beyond a
reasonable time.
The little girl had intended to take a

evidently found hat she had forgotten
TO get the book, and returned to the
school house near her home to get it.
AS the door was locked she raised a
window and had crawled part way
through when the sash descended and
pinioned her by the neck in such a
manner that she could not extricate
herself, and was left hanging in that
position with her arms and legs out
side the window.
1t was evidently several hours after
the accident that she was found by her
distracted parents and life was extinct.

MCCLELLAN CASE
FINALLY LANDS IN
THE U. S. COURT
Two Sets of Contending Heirs
Seek to Prevent Fortune
Going to State.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Dec. ga legal
battle, involving the ownership or tho
estate of John Mcclellan, a wealthy
Sioux Falls pioneer, who died on Au-
gust 81, 1899, after having run inc
gauntlet OF the state circuit courts ana
the state supreme court, now mas
reached h United States court in THIS
city and a hearing in the case now is
being held before Judge Garland.
The plaintiffs In the suit now being
tried in the federal court are John u,
James S., William S., Walter and Ed
mun3 Mcclellan, who allege they are
the sole surviving heirs OF John NC
Clellan and lawfully entitled TO lnherlt
the estate left by him. John G.. Nc
Clellan is a resident of Texas, James
resides In Arkansas, William s. in Col
orado and Walter II Edmund are
residents Of Pennsylvania.
IT is alleged by the two first named
that they are the sons OF John McClel-
Ian, while the other three complain
ants allege they are ~grandsons or the
dead pioneer. 1t Is shown by the pa
pers In the case that all outstanding
claims against the estate have been
paid and that the estate is ready FOR
distribution as soon as the alleged helrs
can establish a lawful claim TO 1t.
The c%omplainants in the action now
being tried in the United states court
ask that the court order and decree
that they are the sole surviving heirs or
John Mcclellan, and that Special Ad-
ministrator Blackman be ordered to
render an account of all the moneys
and other property Of the estate that
now Is In his possession, and, after
deducting his lawful fees and expenses,
tina he be ordered to distribute the
estate TO the compliments as the law
full heirs of John Mcclellan.
The defendant I'm the action is George
r. Blackman. administrator OF the
estate. The state OF South Dakota also
is a party 10 the suit. as ~intervenor.
The state IS interested in the case
for the reason that the state courts
held there were no legal heirs OF John
Mcclellan. and If this could be estab-
lished the estate would go TO the state.
