According to the Denver Post, bonan-
"a strike was made last week at the Belle
vue-Hudson property, situated on Colum.
bian mountain, Colorado, a streak OF brit
tie silver ten inches wide having been I'M
covered that shows values running as
high as l 800 ounces silver to the ton.
The discovery was made at the bottom
OF the seventy-five foot shaft sunk from
the Rochester tunnel level while drifting
on the Ansmosa vein, and Manager o.
w. Mann states that the ground has been
opened for length OF twenty-five feet
without a single break or pinch in the

ascertained that where the ore was first

the discovery has not yet been ascer-

Since this property, consisting OF four

DO That Christmas shopping.

Better do that Christmas shopping now,
and not wait until the last minute, when
the clerks, almost worn out by the holiday
rush, will not have time to give you
much assistance in making your selec-
tions, and the stock will be picked over
and you may have difficulty in finding
lust what you want. Visit the stores here
in town, and you will be surprised at the
array of beautiful Christmas goods on
display. Don't put off your holiday shop
ping any longer, if you have not done it
already. In making your purchases early
you not only have the advantage of an
unbroken stock TO select from and save
yourself lot of time, but you help the
tired merchants and clerks in taking a
little of the rush and worry off them at
the fag end of this bustling holiday
season. If you haven't done your shop
ping yet, do it now!

Fund OF Fifteen Thousand Dollars
For Local Option Organization
In Every Precinct.

The Headquarters Committee of the
Anti. Saloon League of Maryland has
authorized the organization Of Com
mittee of One Hundred leading men of
all parties throughout the State, and
appeals not only to temperance people,
bul all friends of good government, for
fund of Fifteen Thousand Dollars
($I5, ,ooo), in addition to the contributions
received at the churches. to be used in
securing working local option organi-
zation in every precinct in the State.
The Committee itself started the fund
with five subscriptions of Five Hundred
Dollars l$soo) each.
The Committee announces that the
preliminary and experimental work of the
last four years has cost about $4,000,
which has been paid by about Eve per
cent of the members of the churches
committed to the support of the League
movement, and that because of the small
size of the state as compared with the
strength of its liquor traffic the contribu-
tions from this source are no longer
enough.
The Committee catalogues in detail the
facts showing that the proposed local
option bill is the most pressing political
and moral issue in Maryland including
the statement of Governor Crothers that
it was mistake for the last legislature
not to pass it, and declares that no state
League has ever done more in the same
time or with the same money or has ever
come so close to victory without winning
next time.
The members of the Committee are
Rev J. F Heisse, D. D. State President,
and Messrs Jonathan K. Taylor, David
II. Carroll, Henry S. Dull ney, Daniel
Baker and Charles w. Dorsey.

Cecil Court Rules On George p.
Whitaker Trust Fund.
GRANDDAUGHTER WINS SUIT.

The Circuit Court for Cecil County has
handed down an opinion in the George
P. Whitaker will case, overruling the
demurrer of the surviving executor to the
bill of complaint of Carrie c. Updegraff
and others in all of the six counts, save
one-that which seeks to require Mary L.
Whitaker, to make discovery of her ante
nuptial contract
1t will be remembered that George P.
Whitaker, the millionaire iron manufac-
turer of Cecil county, died in January,
1901. leaving will in which he devised
to his executors $50 shares of the capital
stock of the Whitaker Iron Company, of
Wheeling, w. Va, in trust, the dividends
from which were to be applied to the
benefit of his widow as specified in his
WILL but shouldthe dividend arising from
the $50 shares of stock be not sufficient at
any time to enable the executors'to make
payments and discharge the trust created
for the benefit of his widow, they were
expressly authorized and empowered to
supply any deficiency that may exist from
time to time from the residuary estate.
The executors have stated I6 accounts
and the dividends accruing from the $50
shares of stock have not only supplied
the widow as provided in the will, but
accumulated a surplus of $27o, ,5o5.62.
Mrs. Updegraff. who is a granddaughter
of the deceased, on several occasions en-
deavored to get the Orphans Court for
Cecil County to order distribution OF the
surplus without success. Then bill IN
equity was filed in the Circuit Court,
which was heard on demurrer to amended
bill, which prayed the court to take juris-
diction over the trust created by the will
to require the trustees to file bond for
full exhibit of the estate, that the widow
be required to make discovery of her ante
nuptial contract and for the distribution
of the residuary estate of the testator
among his legatees and devisees.
In the opinion which is signed by
Judges Pearce, Hopper and Adkins, the
Court states:
1T is not the intention of the testator
to tie up the whole of his large estate and
deprive his children of the use and en-
joyment of any part of his gifts to them
during the uncertain term of his widows
life; that he intended both his wife and
his children to take and enjoy the bene- /
fits conferred upon them by his will. For
Io years the dividends have largely ex-
ceeded the annual payments TO be made
for the benefit of his widow, a fact which
shows that no part of the residuary
estate will be called upon to support the
trust estate that it would be hardship
unintended by the testator to keep the re-
naming legatees out of their share during
the remainder of the widows life"
All the children of the testator are now
deceased, the survivors being grandchil-
dren and their descendants.
Messrs. John S. Strahorn, formerly of
Elkton, and James M. Monroe, of An
napolis, were the attorneys for the petit
toner, and Frederick T. Haines and
George A. Blake, of Elkton, for the
executor.
