From Wednesdays Pally
The appeal filed in the supreme
court by the contestants of the estate
of Sarah Thimgan, deceased, was dis
missed yesterday in the supreme court
at Lincoln, the case having been ap
pealed from flie district court of Cass
county.
The appeal was dismissed on the
grounds of the lack of jurisdiction
of the supreme court as the trans
cript failed to contain the judgment
of the district court and which the
court held was a matter that denied
their jurisdiction in the re
viewing of the case.
This case was one in which two of
the children of the deceased. Edward
and Matthew Thimgan contested the
probating of the will of their mother,
alleging incapacity as to the testator
to make the will and undue influence
exercised by beneficiaries cf the will
over the deceased
The will wa offered for probate in
the court and allowed and later was
.appealed to the district court for a
j jury trial and where judgment was
j given for the proponents and the will i
'allowed to stand.
i The case was then appealed and
nas neen penuing in tne supreme
court for some time.

Bay Wheat on Protein Test
Practically all the large mills and
three-fourths of the smaller mills of
Nebraska are now buying their
wheat on the protein test which most
of them think is a fairly accurate
way of determining baking quality.
Most millers want to know the local
ity from which the wheat came, its
test weight per bushel and the pres
ence of sm.it and odors, also. Only
about 40 per cent of the mills are
using the gluten determinations and
most of these also use the protein
test. Practically all mills are mak
ing some use of experimental bak
ing tests. Other results of a purvey
conducted early this year by the Ex
periment Station are contained in a
m w bulletin. No. 221, "Trotein as a
Wheat Price Factor," which is now
available for distribution.
Prominent Educator, Formerly of Uni

of many textb'Xiks, Rev. Mr. Aitken
s;:id in part: "His was a noble life
from first to last. He saw and fol-.
lowed the light that many men do not I
see. or seeing, do not follow. He was j
a friend to the friendless and waa;
behind every good cause. lie was ten- j
der hearted, generous and thought-,
ful, and he lived a life of service'
to man and God." j
As a prelude to the services, an!
organ solo. Chopin's funeral march'
was played by H. I. Kirkpatrick, and I
Ed Boehmer, accompanied by Mr.
Kirkpatrick, sang Duck's "Crossing
the Bar," as an interlude. The clos
ing number was "Asa's Death." by
Grieg, played by Mr. Kirkpatrick.
The noral offerings were among
the most beautitul ever seen at the
church. More than 300 persons at
which were in charge of Rev. Mr.
Aitken.
The pall bearers were: Harry L.
Carpenter. B. E. Dill. Yilliam Delzell,
Adrian Xewens. Prof. E. L. Holton
