DAUGHTERS MUST NOT MARRY
Strange Conditions in Will That a
Mother Left-Is Revealed in
Law Suit.

Pottsville, PA law suit before
Judge Wilhelm in the orphans court
revealed one of the strangest wills ever
probated in this county.
Caroline, Bertha, Louisa and Sarah
Yaissle, four unmarried middle-aged
sisters, recently came into possession
of an estate from their mother, valued
at $4,000, with the proviso that if any
got married that one should forfeit all
share in the estate.
Miss Bertha, one of the sisters who
shared in the legacy under these
strange conditions, died a short time
ago, and now two brothers who were
disinherited by the will of their moth
er, claim the right to share in her por-
ton of the estate, claiming that she
amply fulfilled the conditions imposed,
inasmuch as she died single woman.

the last lineal descendant of David
Whitmer, who was the last of the
three witnesses to the translation of
the golden plates. The one thing that
makes many believe these valuable
church relics were passed down from
Whitmer to his descendant, the fence
post salesman, is a quit claim deed
on record in the courthouse at Rich
mond, Mo-, which mentions certain
heirlOoms," said to be the golden
plates. A sister-in-law waived the
right to the heirlooms which descend
ed to the grandson, instead of to her,
through her husband, the brother of
David Whitmer.
Mr.. Schweisch says that the work
OF translating was partly done in his
grandfather's house.
There is no doubt of the existence
of the golden plates" said Mr.,
Schweisch. 'They were found by Jo-
seph Smith, founder of the church,
who, following out the instructions of
a divine vision, went to the hill of Gu
moran, about twenty miles from Sen
eca Falls, n. Y, and found them in
box of stone.
"They were engraved with charac-
tiers which no one could read and in
fulflment of the prophesy in the twen-
ty-ninth chapter of Isaiah, Joseph
Smith, an unlearned boy, could read
the records which no learned man
could decipher 1 have often heard
my grandfather tell of the translation.
Parts of the translation were made in
my grandfather's house in New York.
"Joseph Smith would take the Seer
stone that helped him translate the
record and put it in his hat, holding
it closely around his face to exclude
the light, and the spiritual light would
appear, and before his eyes would ap.
pear sort of parchment on which
would be the characters of the golden
plate with the English translation un.
der them. In this way the translation
was made and verified, character by
character"

PROSPEROUS FALL IS
EXPECTED FOR SOUTH

COLUMBUS, Ca, Sept 6.-The In
dustrial Index says in its issue for this
week:
THE Southeast is not just expecting
a fall business season of prosperous
conditions. 1t has begun. Manufac-
turing plants are being operated
steadily to full capacity, and may of
them on extra time and industrial pay
rolls are long. Cities and counties in
a number of sections are making pub
lie improvements that are adding
much to the money in circulation. And
tie marketing of cotton at good prices
that will add many millions more to
the money circulated in the South has
begun.
1T is season of prosperity that
has sound basis, and it is going full.
steam ahead.
Gains in building permit valua-
tons, bank clearings and postal re-
ceipts continue steadily. In one city
the gain in the August clearings was
nearly 70 per cent, as compared with
August of last year. In another city
the postal receipts for August were
greater than for any previous August
in the city's history. In still another
building permit valuations are setting
a notable high record for the year.
THE good prices that are being re-
ceived for cotton have placed smile
upon the face of business in the South
east, and this section is confident that
the fall season will be one of sub
stantial business.
Some extensive construction work
is in progress in the Southeast, with
much more in prospect, and the buying
of building materials is referred to as
one of the features of general bust
ness activity.
