Tlio Superior Journal lias taken u
backward stop slneo passing from tlio
hands of 0. E. Stino, who published
ono of tlio very host country n'owspu

Already tho disgruntled ones are be
ginning to show choir teeth Someone,
who apparently was not over-proud of
tho nut and did not care to have his
nanio made public, posted a placard in
the postotllce calling a mass conven
tion, to bo held at tho court house
tomorrow evening, for the alleged
purpose of "nominating good men for
ofllco" There will always bo dissatis
ilod ones, no matter who is nominated.
In spite of tho fact Unit tho caucuses
woro advertised for moro than ten
days prior to tho timo of their being
hold, barely enough voters attended
tho meetings in each ward to till tho
delegations to tlio city convention. Is
it any wonder that thero is dissatis
faction over tho nominees when loss
than ten por cent of tho voters of a
party are permitted to name tho can
didates year aftor year? Tho direct
primary would bo a groat improvement
over tho present method of making
nominations.
treasurer and county clerk will bo
vacant this fall. Tub Chief has already
expressed its preforonco for treasurer
in tho person of Mr. Skolton of Blue
Hill. For tho ofllco of county dork,
wo do not bellovo tho Republicans
could do bet or than to nominate and
elect John .7. Garbor, tho present dep
uty clerk. Tho work in tho ofllco de
volves largely upon the deputy, and
Mr. (Jarber has demonstrated, during
the past two years, that ho is entirely
capable of managing tho affairs of the
ofllco. All who have had business to
transact at tho ollice of the county
clerk have always found John Gather
on duty and ready to wait upon the
patrons of tho ofllco. His experience
and ability well qualify him for tho
position, and we believe ho will re
ceive the nomination.

Intended to Give Him Drug.
Denver, March 14. The allegation
that Mrs. Cody threatened to give her
husband, Colonel William F. Cody
(Buffalo Bill), a drug to bring him

more, "that she had obtained a drug

and that she Intended to give it to
Colonel Cody in order to get control
over him; that she thought herself a
better manager for the property than
tho colonel, and that she wished to
get control of all property at nil haz
ards." This Is tho statement upon which

BRYAN LOSES $50,000 BEQUEST
Connecticut Supreme Court Gives De
cision in Bennett Will Case.
Hartford, Conn., March 10. The su
preme court of Connecticut handed
down a decision in tho Phllo S. Ben
nett will caso, in which W. J. Bryan
has figured as benelicinry to the ex
tent of $30,000, as provided in a
"sealed letter" left by Mr. Dennett,
and finds no error. The decision up
holds the superior court, which ren
dered Judgment to (ho effect that the
clause In Mr. Bennett's will contain
ing tho paragraph In regard to the
$50,000 to bo loft to Mr. Bryan Is in
operative and that the said fund is the
part of a residuary estate. Mr. Bry
an appealed from this decision, and
the result Is as previously stated. The
superior court having held that tho
"sealed letter" was no part of the will,
the only question to decide on was
Its contents as testamentary docu
ment. Clause 12 of the will leaves
$50,000 to Mrs. Bennett In trust, with
no purpose, while the sealed letter
says that the money is left to Will
lam J. Bryan. The Biipreme court
holds that the superior court is right
in deciding that the clause Is Inopera
tlve. Counsel for Mr. Bryan when asked
If the case would be taken any high
er said that It would not be.
The decision doubtless ends one of
tho most interesting cases ever fought
out In the courts of the state. Mr.
Bryan was a close friend or Mr Ben
nett and was made tho executor or his
will. When It became known that a
"sealed letter" was deposited in New
York, bequeathing Mr. Bryan $50,500,
the struggle began to have It exclud
ed, several allegations, which caused
considerable surprise nt tho time, be
ing made by counsel ror Mrs. Bennett.
It was even alleged that Mr. Bennett
Intended to have tfie letter destroyed
when he was killed by a fall on a
western mountain side.
