UNIQUE WILL ATTACKED.
Sank Center Man Ties Up Sums for
Life Time Of. Two Heirs. 5s

st. <Cloud.-Claiming that the provi-
sions Of the will Of the late Solomon
Pendergast Of Sank Center. in which
he leaves part Of his estate to accumu-
late In the life of person, is illegal,
all Of the, beneficiaries under the will.
with the exception of Mabel Carr, Of
Hunter, N. D., have filed an appeal in
the probate court in this city praying
that the will be set aside. The case
will come up in the district court in
December. >~
In the original will of Pendergast.
his estate, amounting to $4,000 per-
sonal property and $4,000 real estate,
was divided into four parts, and J.
Fred Cooper and Robert Kells of Sank
Center were named as executors and
trustees. One-fourth was given out
right to his daughter, Mrs. Mabel Carr
OF Hunter, N. D. The second fourth
was given outright to his daughter,
Mrs. Maud Dewey of Sank Center.
The third quarter was given in trust
to the trustees, and out of the income,
Mrs. Nellie La Fond of Sank Center,
his daughter, was to be provided for.
After her death this part of the estate
was to revert to his other daughter,
Mrs. Carr. The remaining quarter was
also placed in trust with the trustees,
and from the income of it the trustees
were to be compensated, and his
daughter, Mrs. Carrie Baldwin Of
Sank Center, and his granddaughter;
Percy Lambert of the same place, were
to be supported. After the death of
Mrs. Baldwin this share was to go to
Miss Lambert.
The action is brought on the grounds
that the accumulation of the profits OF
an estate for longer period than the
minority of person is illegal and that
none OF the persons concerned are mi.

RAILWAYS LIFT LIQUOR BAT
Shipments Now Made to All Ports
Outside Indian Reservations,

st. Paul. - The territory in Min
nesota to which liquor can be sent has
been extended by the railroads. Just
to what extent the railroads have re-
moved the barrier is not obtainable
from the officials, but, orders have
been given local freight agents to &C.
cept shipments to all points except
within the Indian reservation.
The officials point out that more
than two-thirds of Minnesota is in
cluded in various Indian treaties, and
it has been difficult for the railroads
to ascertain just what localities are
exempted. They are waiting for an
official Interpretation of the depart
ment's orders before they put the lid
on shipments outside of the Indian
reservation.

DEN MARK.

King Fredrik VIII has been an of,
1cer in the Danish army for fifty years.
The number of Danes losing their
lives by accidents has been little
over 600 year for several years past.
The state of Denmark, as proprietor
OF the Frederiksvark powder, mills,
has made an agreement with the pro-
prietor Of the Donse powder mills by
which the latter are to be closed and
their trade turned over to the former.
Gustav Olsen, a missionary among
the Eskimos at Cape York, has sent
in his first report. In his district
there are 217 Eskimos living in nine
villages. Mr.. Olsen is preaching to
them and teaching them to read and
write. They have. no idea Of such a
thing as manslaughter, and polygamy
does not exist, but in other respects
their morals are not ideal. People
afflicted with some incurable disease
are occasionally exposed so that they
are bound to die in short while.
Ore of the natives is giving Mr.. Olsen
valuable aid in his work.
An interesting conflict between Ice
landic authorities and English fisher.
men may have to be settled by an in.
ternational court of arbitration. An
tcelandic fisheries inspector shouted to
the captain of the English trawler,
Chieftain, that he was fishing within
the territorial limits of Iceland. The
latter claimed that he was operating
outside the limits, but the Icelander
boarded the trawler and tried all he
could to make the trawler leave the
place. Finally the trawler left the Ice
landic waters and returned to Hull,
carrying the Icelandic inspector along
to England. Both parties try to prove
that they were right.
There is no question that Alexandra
believes she has been badly treated
by her son, King George, and his wife.
After being the first lady of England
for 50 long she could not understand
why she should give way to Queen
Mary when King Edward died. The
climax came in her fight to retain
Buckingham palace, the royal London
residence, for herself. When she
went to Sandringham it is certain she
expected to return to Buckingham
AS soon as she was gone, however
George moved his things into Buck
ingham.l Alexandra realized that tc
re-establish herself in Buckingham
meant a scene which even she rec
ognized as impossible. She did, how
ever, visit her son at Balmoral, and
1t is said the scolding she gave him
broke all records in royal establish
ments. Then she sailed for Denmark

The reports of the national insur-
ance department show that during the
year 1909, the number of employers
reporting to the government for CO.
operation in carrying out the public
insurance plan was 1852, and the
number of persons thus insured was
1884. During the same year 4,079
persons insured reported that they
had been injured as q result Of ac-
cfdents.
Plans for a new central railway
station and a less complicated en-
trance Of lines into Stockholm have
been turned over to the government.
They involve an expenditure of near
ly 100000, and probably will be ap-
proved, as more modern accommoda-
tions are needed here. If the plans
are carried out the railway terminal
in Stockholm will be one of the finest
in Europe.
A very sad incident is reported from
the Sigtuna 1naneuvers. When Cen
eral Won Platen's army was retreat
ing at Haggeby he was holly pursued
by the enemy" commanded by Gen.
eral Jungstedt. This was bluntly told
to an eighty-year old man who sup
posed that real enemy was approach
ing, and in order to avoid capture he
hurried to put rope around his neck
and put an end to his life.
DR.. Andrew Draper, of Albany, N.
Y, was sent to Sweden to make
thoro study of the public school sys.
tenn Of that country, and he reported
that he is convinced of the superiority
of that system to the one followed in
American schools. He holds that tha
Swedish system may easily be intro.
duced in America. DR.. Draper found
that there is no such thing as ignor.
ance in Sweden, and he gives the
schools Of the country credit for that
fact.
During the Sigtuna maneuvers the
king sought shelter for a few minutes
in small farmhouse, and asked for
permission to sit down white eating
his lunch. The housewife became so
badly ratified that she ran away and
hid herself. But the king did not
mind this untoward reception, but sat
down to enjoy the contents of his
knapsack. When the king was gone
and the woman ventured out of her
hiding place she found ten-krono1
($2.70) bill on her table.
The Socialists of Sweden are great.
~ pleased with the political situation
in Portugal. This sentiment is ex.
pressed in three-column editorial in
their leading newspaper, the article
having as its heading, "The Death
Knel of Monarchy" It is predicted
that Spain and Italy will follow in
the wake of Portugal, and the wish is
expressed that the Germanic countries
may also be ready when they arc
called upon to join the ranks of re-
publics. The house of Bernadotte,
the rulers of Sweden, are warned not
to let the present cabinet run Sweden
at the present gait if they wish to
keep their job a few years longer.

the personal property, which consists
of cash in banks and library, is placed
at $38,924.94, while the value of the
real estate is $1,S20,131. Owing to
the fact that much O. the real estate
is out on leases of 1000 years the ap-
praisers did not attempt to fix the &C.

top of peak nearly 1000 feet high in an isolated
part of the Blue Ridge mountains-that which no
better location could be imagined for this class
of work.
There not many buildings at this kite-fly-
ing outpost, but substantial stone structure has
been provided for use kite house. This is
the headquarters for a corps of five men who
devote all their time to this branch of aerial
work. More than two dozen kites are constantly
kept on hand and in readiness for use and in
cluded In this equipment samples Of all the
different kinds Of kites which have been used by
any of the foreign governments that have en-
gagged in scientific kite flying. However, Uncle
Sans experts have developed some designs Of
kites that superior to anything known abroad,
and particularly have they evolved a wonderful
new type Of kite that be sent aloft in the
fierce gales that sweep over the Virginia noun
tains The ordinary kite will fly in any wind
with a~velocity of ten miles per hour or more,
bit is not adapted to use when the wind exceeds
Is miles per hour. However, this new style kite,
which weighs but eight pounds and has lifting
surface of So feet, has made successful flights
more than mile in height when the wind was
blowing gale of 46 miles an hour.
The government experts have sent up kites at
Mount Weather high $4,000 feet, which
means, of course, several miles. OF course no
rope or string be used for such kite flying,
but wire must be employed. The wire is wound
upon an immense reel of forged steel and the kite

being operated by threehorsepower electric mo-
