MOVEMENT IS MADE FOR A MUCH GLEANER CITY ihe new ordinan-e whicn is pro posed by the city to 'over the throw ing of waste matter and rubbish in the streets and alley.; of the city is a move in the right direction and is a move that should have the hearty co operation of every citizen. The movement lias been started largely through the efforts of Chief of Police Barclay, who has started a movement for a cleaner city, and his efforts have already resulted in a groat deal of good in checking the habit of throwing rubbish in the alleys and streets, re gaidless of the looks of the thorough fares or the effect ttvit it might have on the health of the community. It is proposed to have th-.' different prop erty owners put out garbage cans in the rear of their buildings either in dividual!- or by having two or three in a block join in the purchasing of these cans, and when full the city wid have the contents hauled away to the city dumping ground,. This will have a good effect in keeping the rear of the buildings in better shape and not allow them to become an eyesore to the public and will tend toward li more healthful con litin of affairs The habit that many have of throw ing waste paper on the streets is an other thing that should be looked after by the citizens and the paper placed in somen lace where it will not blow around an 1 litter up ;he streets It is just ai easy, for everyone to do their part toward keeping the streets clean if they only will get the habit.

THE KOHENSHELL ESTATE TO BE DIVIDED BY SUIT IN PARTITION An echo of the iitigation in the estate of Joseph Hohenshell and Ja mina Hohenshell, deceased, which has been threshed through the district court in this county and appealed to the supreme court, has been filed in the district court in a tuit in partition entitled Archibald H'tbenshell vs. Kate Hohenshell, in which the plaintiff asks that the real estate belonging to the estate of Joseph Hohenshell be di vided, as under the mandate of the state supreme court, which fixed the fhare of Kate Hohenshell in the estate at one-third. In the petition of the plaintiff it is recited that Joseph Hohenshell died on February 11, 1910 leaving as his heirs his widow. Ja- mima Hohenshell, ard the plaintiff. On July , 112, Ja:aima Hohenshell died and left as her heirs her daugh ter, Kate Hohenshell, and the plaintiff. In the settlement of the estate there was considerable litigation, as it was contended that Kate Hohenshell was entitled to a share i.t the proceeds of the estate through her mother, who had held an interest in the estate. This was fought through the courts and in the supreme court the decision was favorable to the claims of Mrs. Hohenshell. and she was awarded a one-third tdiare, and it is now desired to divide the estate under this order of the court. The land in question is located in the western part of Cass county and is at pre.-ent occupied by the plaintiff. The caee will probably dispose of the long-standing litigation in the settlement of the estate. For croup or sore throat, use Dr. Thomas' Eclectric Oil. Two sizes, 2"c and 50c. At all drug stores.
