HEIRS OF OLD ESTATE
SUED BY WOMAN LEGALLY
DECLARED DEAD.

Mrs. Henry Umbach, who was
Blanche NJ. Sherburne, wife of Henry
Umbach, assessor for our district, is one
of the two local defendants mentioned
in a suit instituted in Boston, Mass,
by Miss Mabel E. Allen, who is endeav-
oring to prove her right to a portion
of the estate left by Jonathan Merry,
who died in Massachusetts early in
the seventeenth century. Miss Allen
according to the Boston advices, has,
like a spectre, risen from the grave"
and now charges that her five cousins
are guilty either of fraud or perjury.
The five cousins mentioned are
Mrs. Henry Umbach, who resides
at 433 Patterson street; Emma E.
Thomas, at present a resident of Ba-
ton Rouge; George E. Nelson, Spring
Lake, Mich; Robert ]. Fisher, Chica-
go, and John T. Sherburne of this city.
Miss Allen, it appears, had been miss
ing for twenty years, and was declared
legally dead by three courts.
Now, however, Miss Allen, who is
forty-two years of age, has brought
action in the Suffolk county court to
recover a legacy of s1,665,000, which
she claims as her share of the estate
of her great-grandfather, Jonathan
Merry, who is reputed to have been a
famous merchant prince and shipper
in the Old Dominion during colonial
times.
According to the version of the To-
cal heirs of the old New Highlander,
the estate, or rather the portion of
the estate which is being contested
for, does not nearly approach the fab
ulous amount set forth in the woman's
petition, but, on the contrary, the res
idue does not exceed 1000 Mrs. Hen
ry Umbach received her portion of the
money, that was pro rated about thir-
teen years ago, amounting to some
thing like $500, and the other heirs,
with the exception of Miss Allen, all
came in for similar amounts The
missing heir was advertised for at the
time of the settlement, but she failed
to put in her appearance.
There are three branches of the
Merry family living, according to Mr..
Umbach, who is looking after his wife's
interests in the litigation, and Miss Al
len is the representative of the one
branch heretofore unaccounted for.
Mr.. Umbach is not certain that the
claimant is the legitimate head of the
third branch, but declared that she
might be able to establish her iden.
tity and secure the $1,000 that is be
ing held for her branch of the family
The local heirs of Jonathan Merry
had almost forgotten the matter of the
division of his estate, Mr.. Umbach
stating that the amount involved was
so small that he had lost interest in
it. In order to protect his wife's in
terests, in the event that the unac
counted heir should not put in hel
appearance, he had employed Boston
attorney to represent her, but for pos
sibly five years he has not communi
Gated with the lawyer. Just how the
sum of approximately $1,000 couit
have attained such huge proportion!
as $1,665, 900 in the space of thirteel
years is something that he cannot un
derstand, but he is inclined to believ'
that it has been greatly exaggerated.

GAS, DYSPEPSIA AND
 INDIGESTION VANISH
Diapepsin Settles Your Upset StO. mach and Ends All Indigestion in
 Five Minutes.

You can eat anything your sto- mach craves without fear of Indiges- tion or dyspepsia, or that your food will ferment or sour on your sto- mach, if you will take little Diapep- sin occasionally
 Your meals will taste good and anything you eat will be digested ;; nothing can ferment or turn into acid or poison or stomach gas, which causes Belching, Dizziness, a feeling of fullness after eating, nausea, in. digestion (like lump of lead in sto- mach, Bilfousness, Heartburn, Water brash, Pain in stomach and intestines or other symptoms.
 Headaches from the stomach are absolutely unknown where this ef- fective remedy is used. Diapepsin really does all the work of a healthy stomach. It digests your meals when your stomach cant. A single dose will digest all the food you eat and leave nothing to ferment or sour and upset the stomach.
 Get a large 50-cent case of Pape's Diapepsin from your druggist and start taking now, and in a little while you will actually brag about your healthy, strong Stomhch, for you then can eat anything and every thing you want without the slightest discomfort or misery, and every par ticle of impurity and Gas that is in your stomach and intestines is goir to be carried away without the use of laxatives or any other assistance
 Should you at this moment be sui fering from Indigestion or any stom- ach disorder, you can surely get re- lief within five minutes.

ADDITIONAL JUDGE
 FOR CHICAGO DISTRICT
House of Representative Also Dis cusses Increase of Salaries for
 District Judges.

Washington, Jan. 25.-The Wednes- day calendar again had the right of way in the House today as usual, considerable time was wasted in de- bate.
 After several hours debate, the House finally passed a bill creating an additional district judge for the Chicago district. By offering al amendment to increase the salaries of all district judges from $6,000 to $7,000, Representative Mann, the minority leader, precipitated dis cussion on the old question of better pay for the judiciary. On objection of Representative Clayton and other Democrats, the salary increase ques tion was laid aside. The bill was amended however, to provide that hereafter when the President appoints a judge to the district, circuit or supreme bench, the executive shall be required to make public the names of those who endorsed the applicant for the position.

MAJOR STODDARD
 LOSES NOMINATION
One of Candidates for Representative Had too Many Votes Returned on
 First Count and is Displaced.

Little Rock, Jan. 25.-That serious errors may often occur in the unot- ficial returns of elections published in the newspapers was demonstrated Wednesday afternoon by the Pulaski County Democratic Central Commit tee. At first it was announced that Mai. Wm. Stoddard of the State Land Office, formerly a resident of Jones' boro. had been nominated for repre- sentative, being given the fourth place on the ticket, the other noml- nees being Messrs. J. B. Webster, Robert Martin and o. c. Ludwig.
 Earl Kidder, a young lawyer and deputy prosecuting attorney, at once observed discrepancies in the pub lished returns as compared with those announced by judges and clerks In various precincts. He gave notice that he would therefore contest the nomination of Stoddard, and proceed ed to secure evidence to sustain his 
 Wednesday afternoon the Central Committee met and proceeded to call vases the returns as shown from the poll books. The result was that Stoddard was displaced for fourth place and Earl D. Kidder was declar- ed the nominee in his place, by lead of fifty-nine votes. It was found in seventeen precincts Sto lizards vote had been boosted in the published re- turns from two to forty-five, and this was enough not only to overcome the original plurality elaine by Stoddard but to give Kidder a safe lead over him.
 The original returns gave Stoddard 1746 and Kidder 1616, while the cor rected returns gave Kidder 1889 and Stoddard 15S0. This shows that Stoddard had been credited with 166 too many votes, and Kidder with 23 too few. A few minor discrepancies were found in the other representa- tives figures, but not enough to at. feet the relative standing of the caE- didates. One of the intere sting fea- lures of the situation is that in no other race were such persistent dis crepancies noted.

 OF CONVICT FARM

The Penitentiary Board has post poned indefinitely the proposition fo: the purchase of second state farm upon which to employ the white con
 victs. When the institution is from two or six months in debt all the time, it cannot consider taking OH further obligations of so great mag nitude as another farm would entail.

There is an unadjusted asset in a pending suit against Dick Raleigh, a former contractor, and his bondsmen, flor about $12,000, which has been set fo:. a hearing in Pulaski Circuit Court about the first of April. He claims various offsets, however, and the judgement that may be secured against him is rather problematical

He declared to his advisers that it
would be hard TO conceive of a presi-

the country into a war that experts

RUSH TROOPS TO
MEXICAN BORDER
Taft Orders Two Cavalry Regi-
mentS Sent to Texas.
SITUATION IS GRAVE ONE
There viii Be No Intervention, He
Says, Without First Calling Con-
gress Into Special Session
For Authority.

Washington, Sept. 9.-Two develop
ments in the Mexican situation lead
observers of that situation to regard
conditions as grave.
President Taft ordered two full reg
iments of cavalry to the border line
and the Madero government contem-
plates asking permission of the Uni
tee States to transport its loyal
troops through Texas and New Mexico
to attack the scattered bands of
marauding rebels sallying across the
line attacking American ranches and
stealing cattle.
The United States probably will
grant the request, inasmuch as the
state department has demanded that
Madero send federal troops into
northern Mexico to protect Americans.
Rush Troops to Border.
After MAJ. Gen. Leonard Wood, chief
Iof staff of the army, had talked owe
the telephone with President Taft at
Beverly, the Thirteenth cavalry from
Fort D. A. Russell, Wyoming, and the
Ninth cavalry from Fort Riley, Kan
Isas, were put under rush orders to join
the border patrol.
In addition to the two regiments,
troop G of the Third cavalry was or
Idered to the neighborhooG of Friday
nights skirmish on the Victoria ranch,
land troop B, Fourth cavalry, vas or
Idered from Fort Huachuca to Arivaca,
tAriz., to strengthen the border patrol
there.
The president authorized the export
of 500 rifles and 10000 rounds of am
munition to the beleaguered Amert-
cans in the Cananea district.
Say Taft Will Use Tact.
Beverly, Mass, Sept. 9.-Altnough
President Taft will not intervene in
Mexico without the fullest delibera-
ition upon a step that would mean
war, his friends declare that interven-
ton is nearer than it has been since
the first American troops were
rushed to the border eighteen months
ago.
1t can be stated on the highest au-
thority, however, that should the presi-
dent decide that intervention is the
only course open to him, he will call
