Morgan's Last. win
Aud Testament.
His Son is Made Chief Heir to
Estate-Mrs. Morgan Is
Well Provided For.

New York, April 21.-"I COM
init my soul into the hand Of my
Saviour in the full confidence
that having redeemed it and
washed it in His precious blood,
He will present it faultless be-
fore the throne of my Heaven
ly Father; and l entreat my chill
dren to maintain and defend at
all hazard and any cost of per-
sonal sacrifice the blessed doc
trine of complete atonement for
sin through the blood of Jesus
Christ, once offered, and through
that Alone"
This is the extraordinary and
striking utterance which begins
the last will and testament of
John Pierpont Morgan, who died
at Rome, March 81 last. Il is
safe to say that of all the inter
etsing statements of eminent cit
izens of America, that of Morgan
to be offered for probate Mon
day morning is far the most in
teresting.
AS to the amount of his es-
tate there is nothing in the will
to give an accurate idea, and the
executors declare no announce
ment will be made on this point
until an appraisal has been made.
The amount of bequests and
trusts named by specific sums
are under $20,OOO,OOO, but the en-
tire residue of his estate is left
to J. P. Morgan, Jr., who was
designated by his father to be-
come the chief heir not only of
the fortune but to his fathers
many charitable and artistic 'ac-,
tivities. Is

r. Il. FUNK ii III WAS ONCE
IN ST.. PAUL BANK

St. Paul, Mimi, April 49,
Frank E. Funk, the Washburn,
N. D., bank cashier, whose MUIR,
der has aroused great interest
throughout the northwest, was a
former st. Paul bank clerk. For
years he was employed here, where
his father, Rev. l. j. Funk, was
pastor of the old Rosabel German
Methodist church and Later pre-
siding elder Of the St. Paul dis
trict.
Until ten years ago Frank
Funk was draft teller and collec-
ton clerk Of the old Capital State
bank, prior to its consolidation
with the st. Paul National bank.
Leaving st. Paul for Chicago, he
was employed in book publishing
house for a year, then returned
to st. Paul. From here he went
to the First National bank at Bis
marck, N. D., and remained in its
employ for a year, leaving there
to assume the position Of cashier
at the Washburn First National
bank when that institution was
opened.
q. H. Miller, assistant cashier
of the Capital ational bank, who
worked with Funk for years, last
night characterized the dead
.Washburn bank officer as an en-
ergetic worker.
Great interest is taken in St.
Paul. banking circles in the murder
of Funk by those who remember
him as q bank clerk and by others
who knew him prior to his en-
ployment at the old Capital bank.
For q time he was auditor Of.
freight receipts for the Great
Northern and was also employ
ed by Nichols Dean & Gregg as
q billing clerk.
Since Funk ,s removal from the
city his father resigned shis active
pastorate here, retired from the

NEW BRANDS FOR
ALL LIVE STOCK

For the purpose OF clearing up
the records and wedding out all
the dead" stock brands in this
state, the Thirteenth Legislative
Assembly enacted a law, appmv-
ed March 13, 1913, providing for
the cancellation and entire wip-
ing out of each and every brand
or mark recorded up to November
II, 1913. After that date no per-
son or company shall use, or
have any right, title or interest
in any cancelled live stock brand
or mark until the former record
owner takes the necessary steps
provided by law for reinyesting
himself with its title. Decem-
Der 1, 1913, is the final date for
re-recording, and those not SO
re-recorded will be issued to first
applicant on and after January
/, 1914. Due notice will be serv-
ed on all record owners, mailed
to address shown last upon the
records, and subsequently, addi-
tional notice will be served
through the columns of the press.
There is on record such q null
tiplicity Il Of brand designs that
lit has become almost impossible
for the commissioner Of agricul-
ture and labor to design further
new lawful brands, that do not
conflict with previously recorded
brands, but hundreds Of which
no doubt are extinct, out Of use
and entirely abandoned. Com
missioner Gilbreath estimates that
there are now approximately thir-
teen thousand brands on record,
and by wedding ont all the OBJ
solete designs, greater service
can be rendered stock growers by
bringing hack into use q larger
selection Of available lawful
brands and marks. ..ss.

pared with 2l8,443 tons valued
at $9O8, ,721 in 1911. Of these
plants seven used anthracite culm,
nine used bituminous or semi-bitu-
minous slack, one used residue
from gas manufactured from oil,
one used mixed anthracite culm
and bituminous slack, and one
used peat. The largest pro-
ducer Of briquets in the United

through the 200 miles through the
mountains, they lost their food and
ammunition. Starving, footsore and
weary, they pushed on till they reached
Rocky Mountain House. They arrived
at Fort Edmonton in November, 1865,
travelling with saddle and pack horses.
Factors and trappers in the employ
of the Hudson's Bay company were
helpful, but the policy of the company,
then operating trading post here,
known as ''the last house in the world,
was not to encourage mining or other
encroachments upon its territory.
However, Mr.. Gibbons PANIED on an
average of S25 worth of gold daily from
the gravel of the Saskatchewan river.
Later he became a furtrader, following
tpat life in numerous districts until the
disappearance OF the buffalo from the
plains.
Mr.. Gibbons was in the forefront
with Steele's Scouts in 1869 and 1870
and participated in the engagement at
Frenchman's Butte. He retired as In
dian agent in 1900 but still retains con-
nection with the department. He next
took up homestead near what is now
the city of Edmonton and capital of
Alberta, selling part of it for $4S, 900.

honored when the North West Terri
tories became provinces, by being as
signed to first place in t he procession,
are passing the evening of their lives
in comfort, surrounded by members of
their family and many warm friends.

Summer Hints TO !
Mothers WhO'Cn,
Seasonable Advice on the Health
of Children in Hot Weather.

It is well that mothers be advised
not to overfeed the children during the
hot months. No one requires as much
food in summer as in winter. Feed the
children the lighter and more easily di-
gested foods. See that the milk is cool
and kept away from flies. Be careful
that the fruit is ripe, and if the child
begins to scratch the skin, indicating
too much acid in the blood, deprive it
of fruit for several days.
It is quite natural that under these
conditions there will be some digestive
disturbance, such as constipation, indi
gestion or summer diarrhoea. Tt may
be accompanied by cold or by erup-
tions Of the skin. The timely remedy,
and one which you can rely on for re-
suits, is small dose Of DR.. Caldwell s
Syrup Pepsin on retiring, and by morn
ing the bowels will move and the trou-
bio will vanish. The exceptional tonic
ingredients in this remedy will tone the
stomach and enrich the blood, and the
child will feel its usual self again.
Many families like that of Mr.. Will
liam Weber, 80 Edwin Place, Buffalo,
N. Y, who use it for foul breath and
constipation, and Mrs. John Wallace,
