Lanier: of ] the Cavalry


 That afternoon as the Union Pacific express stood ready at the Union sta ton for the start there boarded one of the sleepers a burly. thickset, bluff manneFed man in a huge fur overcoat, closely followed by two younger com panions. One of these latter, erect and graceful in bearing, alert and quick in every movement. with clear cut and handsome features, was dress ed with care and taste, evidently a man accustomed to metropolitan scenes and society. The other. a youth Of probably his own age. though look ing older, was sallow. shabby, with 1ejected. down at the heel expression to his entire personality that told in- fallibIy of failure and humiliation
 ''Better pull off that ovefcoat and make yourself comfortable. Lowndes," said the younger man. You've a long journey ahead"

 ''Yes. Colonel Riggs; if this mans a soldier why isn't he in uniform ?'

sengers, with the exception of the
two victims, were on their way home
My plan was to send the J. S. into the
middle of the stream, after the pas,
sengers had been put ashore, and
scuttle it. This was attempted, but
1t could not be done, as it would have
been suicide for the members of the
crew to have ventured within work
ing distance of the hull So | was
compelled to see the beautiful boat
burn to the waters edge. We expect
to raise the machinery and save what
we can of it.
While no one can feel more keen
ly than ] the loss of the two lives that
were sacrificed in the disaster, don't
feel responsible for either 1t was a
trying time for me, and my thoughts
were only for the people who had en-
trusted themselves to my care dur
ing that night on the river.
THE steamer is about total loss.
The fire will cost the Acme Packet
company at least $4,000, less the
$4,000 in insurance that was carried.
The J. S. was booked up solid for the
summer, and of course that means an
additional financial loss. But person
ally feel that l have been amply re-
paid In the small sacrifice of human
life. 1t was the first serious accident
i experienced in my many years OF
steamboating Another boat the equal
of the J. s. will be rebuilt and ready
for business next spring"

Milwaukee, Wis.
The above is only one of the thou
sands of grateful letters which are
constantly being received BY the
Pinkham Medicine Company of Lynn,
Mass, which prove. beyond doubt that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, made from roots and herbs,
actually does cure these obstinate dis
eases of women after all other means
have failed, and that every such suf-
ering woman owes it to herself to at
least give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta-
BILE Compound a trial before submit
ting to an operation, or giving up
hope of recovery.
Mrs. Pinkham, of Lynn, Mass,
invites all sick women to write
her for advice. She has guided
thousands to health and her
advice is free.

ed that the witnesses who signed the
will had been requested to do SO by
Mr.. Craig they failed to show that
such was the case.
The action was taken on the part
Of the Judge after considering all
the evidence in the case as offered
at the hearing last week and after
careful study of the authorities cited
by the attorneys both for and against
the will. The action on the part of the
county judge means that the benefic-
iaries of the first will or that drawn
during the month OF March won a
partial victory.
The next act on the part of the
beneficiaries of the will offered for
probate will be to appeal from the
decision Of the county court, and this
appeal has been prayed by their attor-
neys. AS soon as the amount OF the
appeal bond is fixed this will be fur
nished and the case will have a new
hearing in the circuit court, where
much greater latitude can be given
in the offering Of testimony than was
allowed In the county court.
The beneficiaries to the will which
the judge refused to admit to pro-
bate are: Wesley Craig, of Quincy.
James Craig, of Chicago; Ellen
Wheeler, of Keokuk, and Jane Ham,
OF st. Louis.
1t is proable that the beneficiaries
of the will drawn in March will ask
hearing on that will in the near
future, but they may wait until the
present suit is fully disposed of by
the various courts. This will was
originally set for hearing on the
same day that the hearing of the will
made in April, but was continued at
that time.
Attorney Hubbard. who represents
the beneficiaries of the last viii, IN
the hearing in the county court, stated
last evening that the case would be
defeated there that they would take
it to the supreme court Of the state.
I'VE can see no grounds for the decis-
ion of the court as given yesterday,
and so far as proving that the will
was that of John Craig, we can't see
how the fact could have been made
any palmer, but as the Judge saw 9TH
erwise, he was right in deciding that
way"

damage was reported in all parts of

were also broken off trees in other

Quincy Wing: Although it did not

was visited by one of the fiercest rain
and wind storms that has been seen
here this year Wednesday afternoon at
2:15 o'clock. 1t wrought much minor
damage in its path, but is was well
coined greatly, especially in the city
where the heavy rain thoroughly
flushed the streets and cooled of the
atmosphere which had been almost
unbearable warm before the storm
came up.
The storm came in two install
ments with the first being the heav-
lest The rain came down In tor
rents accompanied by strong wind
which played havoc with everything
that was loose 1t lasted about
twenty minutes and during its dura-
