Disposition of $4,000 sEstats

terpretations
DR.. KENNEDY on STAND
He Testifies How He Hap
pened to be Called Into
the Case.

A scrap of cheap ordinary typewrit-
er paper has engaged the attention Of
intermediate court for the past two
two days and the time and labor ot
four attorneys with the Judge, twelve
Jurors and the sheriff and court stem
ographer has been engaged IN deter
mining whether or not this paper With
the writing upon It Is the will ot
George Wilson. The family OF George
Wilson, who died about two yearE
ago on his little farm near Metz, dis
agreed because OF the terms OF tho nls
legged will and the present litigation
and will contest arose out OF the dis
sention. The total value OF the farm
and property left by the dead man 10
less than five thousand dollars. The
entire family are illiteratei and unable
to read or write.
The will that is being contested
was prepared by DR.. G. ". kenney
Of Metz, and he testified that It had
been signed by him with Wilson hold
ing the pen as he wrote Wilson's
name. Thi ssignature was duly Wit
messed by Eva Wilson. daughter Of
the deceased man and chief benefl-
ciary under the will, and her lover.
Arthur Tenant. DR.. Kenney eesti.
fed that he had prepared the will at
the request of the deceased. Mrs.
Wilson, wife OF the dead man testified
that the doctor had urged Wilson 60
make a will and that he had refused.
She said that the doctor and the wit
nesses had gone to the back Of the
room when they signed the Win and
did not do it in the presence ot her
husband.
In, summing up the evidence Attor-
neys McCray; and Shaw for the con.
testing heirs appeared u, have q strong
caseand alleged that the will was ev-
idence Of fraud on the part Of Or.
Kenney and Eva Wilson daughter Of
che testator. Under the provisions
Of the will this daughter was to re-
ceive $25 per week, for all the time
had lived with her father during his
illness and cared for him. This would
amount to practically the entire es-
tate and although the viii provided
for the life tenancy OF the t76 year old
Mrs. Wilson, yet there would have
been no estate left after the payment
of the daughter as provided IN the
document. Although the Testimony
Of the old lady was excluded on q tech
nicality by the opposing lawyers. yet
when she testified on the stand. her
story told in a faltering voice and
practically corroborated by two other
witnesses for the heirs Is thought to
have had much weight with the Jury.
Mrs. Wilson being one of the plaintiffs
and q beneficiary uned the will yet
her testimony was one Of the strong
est points in favor Of the heirs who
contended that the paper exhibited in
court Is not the win.
The entire morning was taken up
with the arguments of the attorneys
and the case did not go to the Jury
until a late hour this afternoon. II is
likely that verdict will be returned
some time this evening. Attorneys j.
A. Meredith and M. u: Sturm repre-
sented the plaintiffs Eva Wilson and
Mrs. Wilson.

Girls and women with sallow skins,

coated tongue, bad taste. nasty breath
others who are bothered with head
aches. bilious spells, acid stomach or
constipation should begin this phos-
phated hot water drinking and are as
sured of very pronounced results in
one or two weeks.
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate costs very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to demonstrate
that just as soap and hot water
cleanses, purifies and freshens the
skin on the outside, so hot water and
limestone phosphate act on the in
side organs. We must always consid-
er that internal sanitation is vastly
more important than outside cleanli-
ness, because the skin pores do not
absorb impurities into the blood.
while the bowel pores do.
Women who desire to enhance the
beauty of their complexion should
just try this for week and notice re-
suits.

ACTION NEEDED.

Sufficient showing has been made
by the business men interested in
paving to insure prompt action of the
part of the city commission. When
the petitions are presented there
should be no delay. Bismarck cannot
afford to postpone this improvement
longer
The districts should be laid out and
the preliminary work done at once,
so that bids can be called for as soon
as possible. There is a real demand
for paving Members of the city
commission need merely go over the
petitions to ascertain the unanimlty
among the citizens for better streets.
Now is he time to get busy.

To look ones best and feel ones

is absorbed into the blood Just as
coal, when it burns, leaves behind a
certain amount of incOmbustible ma

food and drink taken each day leave
in the alimentary organs a certain
amount of indigestible material,
which if not eliminated, form toxins

into the blood through the very ducts
which are intended to suck in only

If you want to see the glow of
healthy bloom in your cheeks, to see
your skin get clearer and clearer, you
are told to drink every morning upon
arising, a glass of hot water with a
