Startling loformatlrn Ktled Tht .De
ceased Bad a Wife Living In England
When lie Married tbe Woman Wno
Became tbe Benflctary of 111 Estate
Will Contest tbe Case.
There is at present some doubt es to
the lawful heirs of the estate of Hub
ert Stewart, who died in Ilavelock
about a year aeo.an'd who formerly re
sided in this city. Speaking of the
matter, the Lincoln News says:
"When Kobert Stewart of Ilavelock
died recently as the result of an acci
dent iu the y.irds at that place, it was
known that he had children in Eng
land, but not that he had a wife living
there. This fact was unknown to the
widow he left hero, and she wis dis
agreeably made acquainted with the
fact today when a notice of contest wn3
served upon her.
'Tho-' contest is begun by the two
daughters, Miss Mirtha Stewart and
Mrs. Margaret Jane Harms of Durham
county, England. They insist that
Mrs. Annio S ewart of Ilavelock, who
is administering the estate, is not the
lawful widow of Ilobert Stewart and
that she never was his letral wife. They
say that their mother, Mrs. Margaret
Jane Stewart, is still living and was
never divorced from their father.
"Jt wo'jld follow that if this be true,
the m trriage of Mr. Annie Stewart to
Robert Stewart.which occurrod in this
country in 1S9:5, is invalid. The daugh
ters say that their father and mother
were married in 1S07, but that for a
number of yeara she has been an in
mate of an asylum for the insano.
Under the common law of England
and the statute law of Nebraska it is
impossible for a man or a woman to se
cure a divorce from wife or husband
because of int-anity unless such insan
ity existed before marriage but was
concealed.
"Ilobert Stewart lived for a number
of years at Plattsmouth. He was not
a communicative fellow, and while his
close friends doubtless knew of his
marriage in England, it was commonly
supposed that he was an old bachelor,
lie camo to Ilavelock in 1892 and took
charge of tho paint department. He
was a very popular man among the
rhopmen. In 1S!)3 he married the wo
man who ha since been known as Mr?.
Annio Stewart at Ilavelock. Sho did
not know that his first wife was living
in an English asylum.
"Mrs. Stewart was appointed ad
ministratrix of Stewart's estate and
collected from the Burlington between
one and two thousand dollars as dam
ages for his death.
"Mrs. Annie Stewart was formerly
Mrs. Annie B. Scott. She was a widow
and conducted a boarding hou-e in
Ilavelock. Stewart boarded at her
bom. They wore married by Judge
Gochran in this city on September 24,
1893. The B jrlingion ptid her S 1,230
on the 7th of last Auj;u-t, in full of all
claims against it for damages because
of the negligence, vhich caused Stew
art's death."

Some of the big western railroads

less commendable, observes tho Amer

every legitimate enterprise in this di

SILENT
.British Not Certain of Taking
Pretoria Without a Fight.
E0BEETS SEEMS TO HAVE NO NEWS.
Nothing but Surmise in London Cables
as to What Is the Situation in
the British Front.
London, June 2. Lord Roberta
Contiues silent regarding Pretoria,
probably because be cannot wire of
events from his own knowledge. Lour
enzo Marques, where all tbe news
from the Boer side is rehandled, cables
that communication with Pretoria ls
now suspended. Some messages by
courier have reached Lourenzo Mar
ques, but none of later date than
W"dnesday. These assert that the
burgers are in a state of panic and that
Pretoria is being controlled by a vigi
lance committee. Lourenzo Marques
again sends the report that President
Kruger has been captured.
JVlmr 11a ve to Fight for Pretoria.
The news blank elves rise to a
suspicion that the citizens' committee
at Pretoria may not have been able to
carry out their plans for securing the
peaceful entry of Lord Roberts and
sparing the city the horrors of a siege.
A peace party appeared to be in the
ascendant, and as soon as President
Kruger and his cabinet left Pretoria
to organize a new capital the citizens'
committee persuaded the command
ants of the forts to withdraw some of
the troops from the defenses, perhaps
with-the view of keeping order in the
town. If messengers were sent to the
British, or if the British, being two
hours march from Pretoria on Wednes-
dav. entered it then or at any time
Drior to Friday noon. Lord Roberts
would certainly have telegraphed this
fact. Hence it looks as though there
was a Boer force between Pretoria
and Johannesburg.
New Klrmcnt in the Situation.
These soldiers trekking back toward
Pretoria, some of them fresh from the
fight with General Ian Hamilton,
would have brought a new element
Into the situation and would probably
over-rule the peace committee, taking
the direction of affairs out of their
hands. If this has happened, the Brit
ish may, as The Daily Cronlcle says
see some "hard fighting before the
British flag flies over Pretoria," for
even if the Boers held only three forts
standing close together on the hills
south of the town, they would be in a
position to stand a siege.
More Boers In the Free State.
The Boers, according to a special
dispatch from Lourenzo Marques,
have re-entered the northeastern ter
ritory of the Free State and are en
gaged with the British near enters
burg and Harrismith.
Western Rase Ball League.
Des Moines. Ia., June 2. W. P.
Chase, chief stockholder in the De3
Moines base ball club, went to Sioux
City Thursday to attend the league
meetting there. He denied emphatical
ly that the Des Moines franchise will
be transferred to St. Paul or any other
place, and declared he would resort to
the courts to compel the Western
League teams to use the Chase ball or
close up business. He says he does
not recognize the National League as
controlling Western League matters.

Surgical operations and flesh destroying plasters are useless, painful and dangerous, and besides, never cure Cancer.
Ho matter how often a cancerous sore is removed, another comes at or near the same point, and always in a worse form.
Does not this prove conclusively that Cancer is a blood disease, and that it is folly to attempt to cure this deep-seated dangerous
blood trouble by cutting or burning out the sore, which, after all, is only an outward sign of the disease a place' of exit for
the poison ?
Cancer runs in families through many generations, and those whose ancestors have been afflicted with it are liable at any
time to be stricken with the deadly malady. 7
Only Blood Diseases can be Transmitted from One Generation to Another
further proof that Cancer is a disease of the blood.
To cure a blood disease like this you must cure the entire blood system remove every trace of the poison. Nothing cures
Cancer effectually and permanently but S. S. S.
S. S. S. enters the circulation, searches out and removes all taint, and stops the formation of cancerous cells. No mere tonic
or ordinary blood medicine can do this. S. S. S. goes down to the very roots of the disease, and forces out the deadly poison,
allowing the sore to heal naturally and permanently. S. S. S. at the same time purifies the blood and builds up the general health! '

Mark White, the Owner, and Auother
Man Kecelve Brnlses.
Mark White, J. D. Kooch and a man
named Campbell had. an exciting run
away Saturday eveniog, but fortun
ately none of them were seriously in
jured. They were on their way home,
driv'ng a team of mules, and, when
near the brick yards south of the
shops, the animals became frightened
at some object and proceeded to dis
play their running abilities in such a
way as t make the occupants of the
vehicle feel decidedly uncomfortable.
In rounding a curve they ran into a
fence post, knocking a wheel out of
service and dumping the men but onto
the ground. Mr. Kooch sustained
some painful bruises to his back, and
was taken to the Perkins honse. How
ever, it was found that no bones were
broken, and he returned home yester
day afternoon none the worse for the
accident.
Mr. White found his team yesterdty
morning the animals having run sev
eral miles before they stopped.
