A PRETTY SPIRITED CONTEST.
That It Will lie Prolonged
ImlHlnltoly mill AVII1 Pass
to tlio Hellcat TrllHiiml
or tlio State.
Tlio hearing of the contest of tlio will of
Dr. J. W. McMcimmy was commenced by
Judge Shields In the county court.
The contestant , as previously noted In
thcso columns , Is Mrs. Currlo Williamson ,
daughter of the deceased , who basoa her con
test on the assertion that her father was not
possessed of testamentary capacity at the
time the will was made , and that fraud ,
duress and iinduo inlluonco had been used on
the part of Charles MiiMcnmny and Miss Hlla
Scott to obtain the making of tlio will.
Charles Mt'Mcnamy Is a brother of the de
ceased , and , in the will , Kiln Scott la described -
scribed a * the doctor's botroUunl.
The doctor left an estate valued at about
$11)0,000. )
The will gives the present contestant
$3,0(10 ( ; tlm mother of the deceased , Si)0 ( ) a
year ; Hlla Kcott , ? JO)00 ( ) ; Charles McMen-
amy , the brother , all the real estate owned by
the testator and situated in tills county ; and
the balance of the estate to J. C. Uovvlii and
W. J. Wallace , to bo held In trust and used
for tlio education of the doctor's mm.
Ir. ) Mcn-Iiim , who attended deceased dur
ing his last Illness , and whoso signature ap
pears a * one of the wltno-tsoM to the will , was
the llr.-tt witness examined. His testimony
elicited many Important furls , some of which
are of interest. The witness said he had
known and associated with Dr. McMcmtmy
In asofl'd though not professional way for
some eighteen years prior to tlio hitter's
death. When called to attend the doctor
three or four days before the latter
died the witness told the patient that ho was-
in a very serious eondltlonand advised him If
lie had any misiness matters to straighten
up he had Getter attend to them.
The patient put lr. Merriam oft for two
days. While In attendance , the witness said
that lie had administered qiilnino and nitro
glycerine , the latter by hypodermic injection ,
up to within the last few hours of the patient's
death. Ho said that Dr. McMcnamy was of
a very nervous temperament though > i person
of great self-control. IIo supposed the drugs
heightened , to a certain degree , the patient's
iicrvoiuTiu.s.1. The witnes1said that although
as was his duty as an attending physician , ho
informed the patient that ho should'atteml to
whatever business ho hail , ho said that no
mention 'if ' making a will had passed between
himself and Dr. McMcimmy.
At the conclusion of Dr. Merriam's tostt-
niony , ( ienoral Cowin , Who appeal's for the
estate * anil will , announced that he desired to
take the stand.
County Attorney Mahoney of course for
contestant objected on the ground that the
general had a direct legal Interest in the will
adverse to contestant , while there was the
other fact that General Cowin had drawn up
the will , though this last fact was not cited
by Mr. Mahonoy.
Tli j court overruled the objection , though
not until after considerable cross-tiring had
been indulged in by opposing counsel.
There was comparatively little of inter
cut to tlio general public in Gen
eral Oowin's testimony. It did not
uppoar who had sent for him to visit
Ur. Mi-Mi'uamy in relation to making the
Will. The witness said that Ella Scott might
have been in Dr. McMunamy's olllco while ho
was there , as the witness was there writing
out the will , though ho could not state posi
tively. As ho entered the sick room lirat ,
witness said Dr. McMcnamy greeted him
with :
"Well , the doctors say I've got to go , but I
don't builovo it , " and immediately proceeded
to tell him how ho wanted the will drawn.
The witness Judged that the dying man's
mind was in a perfectly clear condition.
After the will had been made out it was
road to the the doctor anil then the latter
looked It over , and when ono or two small
corrections had boon mv.lo : ho alllxcd his sit ;
nature.
Counsel for the contestant took numerous
exceptions to the testimony given by General
Cowin mid It seems evident that the contest
will bo as bitter and protracted as any over
entered ill Douglas county.
The contestant , Carrie Williamson , whojo
residence is California , occupies a prominent
neat at the hearing. Sue is lino-looking ,
handsomely attired young lady , some twenty-
throe years of ago , and takes the closest in
everything that4s said.
All the evidence introduced on the side of
the contestant was a couploof depositions.
Tlio first was that of Mrs. M. E. Aspln-
wnll , the nurse who attended Dr. McAlon-
cmy during his last illness.
The testimony described the exact location
of the room In which the doctor died and the
number and location of the doors , and various
other minor details. His temperature during
the latter part of his sickness , and the course
of treatment was also described at length.
Tlio testimony went on to say that on the
( lay on which the will was drawn the doctor
summoned the attaches of the In.itituto about
him ami bade them all good-byo. While this
was being done' , Charles McMonamy , the
brother of the doctor , slipped from the room
and soon afterward General Cowin came in.
After the latter had gone down stairs to
write the will the doctor petulantly demanded
why ho was bothered with business matters
when ho had expressly stated that ho did not
want to IH > troubled.
The deposition also referred to the strong
rcpugnancu the doctor exhibited toward his
brother , saying his breath smellcd of whisky
and ho didn't want him around , as lie did not
think a drunken man had any business In a
flick room.
It was also stated that Charles MoMonamy
had alwavs objected to having the doctor's
little son brought Into the room , saving that
the little fellow did not care anything about
) ils father and was always Inquiring how
much money ho was going to leave him.
The other deposition introduced on the part
of the contestant was that of Miss Lillian
Sanford of Charles City , ia. , a patient at the
institute.
The testimony In this was to the ef
fect that the witness had been at the
institute for some time and had several con-
vorsntlons with Dr. Mc.Memimy before ho
was taken sick. At thcso times ho had al
ways referred to his daughter , Mrs. William-
aon , in the most atTcctionato terms , and said
ftu had great contldenco in his daughter ; she
Pad been made his contldanto In business and
other matters and ho had always hold her In
the highest regard.
The testimony also stated that the wit
ness had asked the doctor If Mrs.
Williamson was his stepdaughter , as she
had heard , hut ho . replied that she
was his daughter and the sister of his son
" Dot. "
At the conclusion of the reading of those
fleim-siUons the contestant rested.
This sudden stop was evidently a surprise
to tlio counsel on the other sldo and a long
consultation was held. At Its conclusion
tlio counsel for Miss Scott announced that
tho.v would rest.
The counsel for contestant announced that
they would not submit any arguments.
Then ensued another whispered consulta
tion , at the conclusion of which It was an
nounced that the other sldo would follow
null.
null.Tho
The court then decided that the will must
Bland and it was ordered probated.
An appeal was at once taken and the bond
fixed at . ' ,000 , which will bo furnished this
morning.
ItUproixvsml to carry the matter to the
highest tribunal , and it M announced that the
( xmtostant has a largo amount of important
testimony which was withhold for n good roa-
' eon at the Ural hearing.

Should Fix Their Tracks.
Inspector W. I' . Mumuugh , who has boon
directing the repairs to the Eleventh street
viaduct , has reported to the board of public
works that the condition of the street c ir
company's tracks over the viaduct is a fruit
ful cause of the bad condition of the viaduct.
IIo states that wherever there is a Joint in
the tracks there is a drop of one-half an inch
to an inch , which caused a constant bumping
along the entire length of the structure. Ho
sifggests that the street car company bo requested
to "truo " their track and
quested up" , ex
presses the opinion that If this is done no
ditllculty will bo experienced in running
t rains over the viaduct.
In accordance with the suggestions of the
Inspector , the board of publlo wet Us has ro-
que.sted the street railway company to repair
its tracks over the viaduct.

The Coining Ciiiit'oronoc.
Qn.uu , Juno n , To the Editor of TUB
BKE : The committee to locate the general
conference of ISM will moot In this city , by
the Invitation of Bishop Newman , on Satur
day next.
This commission U composed of both cleri
cal delegated and laymen of eminent ability ,
chosen because of their fidelity to , and com
prehension of the very bat Interests of the
Methodist Episcopal church , which they
represent.
No little degree of interest Is taken la
what may be the outcome of the deliberations
of those dlstlngulshtjf'rtnd ' trustworthy gen
tlemen. '
They possess nuthM-ity. though the general
conference made choice of Omaha as the place
of holding Its ncHt siSsIon , to change the lo
cation , If it bo mada apparent that any un
fair means had been , u.sed to secure ft for
Omalm , or for any other reason that Is valid
or satisfactory.
The vital point In this Case , however , Is
Unit of the ability of the people of this city to
entertain the delegates. There Inn been an
underlying doubt prevalent abroad that our
hotel accommodation arc Inadequate , and
that money cannot bo guaranteed to pay
boarding and lodging for as many delegates
as will attend.
The Interest taken by our population In
making secure the location is evidence almost
decisive that the commission will not inter
fere with the plans agreed upon In advance
of their coming ; and , after tlio wide-awake
and capable men who shall assemble on
Saturday may take observations , the prevail
ing opinion among these most Interested is
that they will agree to leave undisturbed the
decision of our local committees. J. II.

"They're a bargain if one really needed
them. "
"How do you like towels used as
tidies ? "
"Horrid ! "
"I think so too. "
"So do I oh , let tno tell you , I saw a
woman on the street one day with an
apron made made out of n red and white
fringed towel ! "
"Mercy ! Looked like fury didn't it ?
How was it made ? ' '
"Oh , ono end was simply gathered tea
a band , and there , the towel was just
like this ono and she'd taken it so and
gathered it in so , and really it didn't
look so bad after all. "
"Do yon suppose the colors would run
in this'border ? " i
"Well , I hardly know. I had ono very
much like it once , tand the colors in it
ran dreadfully tlio very lirst time I
washed it. "
"Then I'll not lake this , for I why , if
it isn't 4 o'clock , and "
"I inunti fjo. "
"So must I. "
"And I no , I'll not take the towel to
day. "
TllAINING A P'UIXOE.
How Ills Highness of WulcsAVasMaile
to Ohey Hln ( lovorness.
Many years ago Miss Ilillyard , the
governess in the royal family , seeing tlio
prince of "Wales inattentive to his
studios , said : "Your royal highness is
not minding your business ; will you bo
pleased to look at your book and learn ,
your lesson ? "
His royal highness replied that ho
would not.
"Then I shall put you in the corner , "
said the governess.
His royal highness again replied that
ho should not learn his lesson , neither
should ho go in the corner , for lie was
Prince of Wales ; and , as if to show his
authority , ho lacked his little foot
through a pane of glass , says the Chris
tian at Work. Surprised at this aot of
bold defiance , Missilillyard , rising from
her seat , said : ' 'Sir , you must learn
your loshon , and if you do not , , though
you are the prince of Wales , I shall put
you in the corner. "
Htnvovor , threats wore of no avail ; the
defiance was repeated , and that , too , in
the same determined manner as before
his royal highness breaking another
pane of glass. Miss Ilillyard , seeing her
authority thus set at naught , rang tlio
boll and requested that his father , his
royal highness 1'rinco Albert , might bo
sent for
Shortly after the prince arrived and
having learned reason why his presence
was requested , addressing the iirineo of
Wales and pointing to a stool or otto
man , said : "You sit there , sir. " prince
Albert then went to his own room and
returning with a bible in his hand , ho
said to his royal highness , the prince of
Wales : "Now I want you to listen to
what St. Paul says rbonl the people who
are under tutors and governors "
And having read the passage to him ,
ho added : "It is undoubtedly true that
yon are the prince of Wales , and if you
conduct yourself properly you may seine
day bo a great man. You may ho king
in'the room of your'mother ; hut now you
are only iv little boy ; though you are the
prince of Wales , you are only a child
under tutors and governors , who must bo
obeyed , nnd have those under them to
do as they are bid. . Moreover , I must
'
toll you' what Solomon says , " and ho
read to him the declaration that ho who
lovoth his son chn tonoth him betimes ;
and then in order 10 Hhow his child , lie
chastised and put him in a collar , say
ing : "Now , blr , you will stand there
until you have loimicd your lesson , and
until Miss IIlllyiirijjlvos \ yon leave to
come out , and rernWbor that you are
under tutors and governors , and that
they must ho obeyed ! "
A TITAN'S HAMMKIl.
Tlio Hlwtory of Nnmnyth , the Man AVIio
Invented It.
.Tamos Nasmyth , the famous Inventor
of the steam hammer and of more than
an hundred dllTerent appliances for sav
ing labor , died recently at Hammortluld ,
in Hnglaud , at the advanced age of
eighty-two.
IIo began life as a poor hey , worked
his way through Edinburgh university
by the sale of models of steam onginus
and other machinery , and in 183) ) he-
came assistant to the celebrated London
engineer , Henry Muudslay.
Here his genius developed , npd in less
than six years he had risen from the IK > -
sitlon of 0111 ploy o to that of master of u
great establishment at Manchester.
A little later ho built a series of great
workshops , covering many acres and
called tlio Iirldgo\vuter foundry , near
Manchester , and operated for his own
account.
Dlloro It was that ho Invented the Kterun
liaininof , the steam pile driver , the suc
lion fan for ventilating mines , the safety
foundry ladle and n roverslhlo rolling
mill which docs away with the need for
a lly-wheel ,
liy 18o7 ho had become very rich , nnd
in April of this year he told a visitor to
whom ho showed his old luthc :
"There'M many hundreds of thousands
of pounds come out o'that old thing. "
Since 1SOO Mr. Xasmyth has boon en-
gngod in researches into the structure
of the sun and moon with telescopes of
his own manufacture.
f
It Is said that he 1ms such absolute
confidcn'ce in tlnS machinery for regula
ting his steam hammer that when it was
llrst tried ho laid his own head on the
anvil and allowed the workman to drop
the huge hammer , weighing many tons ,
within a few Inches of It.
Mnslu's Mastery Over Death.
It was a sad scene. The old man loy
on his bod. and b'y him sat the faithful
wife , holding his warm hand in hers and
forcing bade the tears to greet his Wan
dering looks with a smile. She spoke
words of comfort and of hope , says the
Now York Press. But ho felt the cold
hand falling on him and he turned his
weary eyes up to her pale , wan face.
"Jennie , dear wife t am going. "
"Oh , no , John ; not yet , not yet. "
"Yes , dear wife , " and lie closed his
eyes , , "the end is near. The world grows
dark about n.e. There is a mist around
me gathering thicker and thicker , and
there , as through a cloud , I hoar the
music of angels , sweet and sad. "
"No , no , John , dear , that isn't ' angels ;
that's the brass band on the corner. "
"What , " said the dying man. "Have
these scoundrels dared to como around
hero when they know I'm dying ? Give
me my bootjack. I'll lot 'em see. "
And in a towering rage the old .man
jumped from bis bed , and before his wife
could think he opened the winder and
shied the bootjack nt the band.
"I've hit that Uiitoh leader , anyway. "
And he went buck to bed and got
well.
Pipe Smoking nntl Power.
A nation is known by the tobacco it
smokes. England and Germany smoku
pipes , and they are the two most power
ful nations in Europe. Franco smoked
bad cigars under tlio second empire ,
with tlio natural result of Sedan ; while
all know how the decadence of Spain
and Portuglil has kept p\co with the
spread of cigarette smoking.
IS a blood disease. Until tno poison I.I
expelled from the .system , there cau
bo no euro for this loathsome and
dangerous malady. Therefore , the only
uffcctivo treatment is a thorough course
of Ayer's Snrsaparllla the best of all
blood purifiers. The sooner you begin
the better ; delay is dangerous.
"I was troubled with catarrh for over
two years. I tried various remedies ,
and was treated by a number of physi
cians , but received no bunolit until I
began to tnko Ayur's Sarsaparilla. A
few bottles of this medicine cured mo of
tliis troublesome complaint and com
pletely restored my health. ' . ' Jesse M.
Boggs , Uolman's Mills , N. C.
"When Ayer's Sarsaparilla was rec
ommended to mo for catarrh , 1 was in
clined ' to doubt its oillcncy. Having
tried so many remedies , with little ben
efit , I had no faith that anything would
euro mo. I became emaciated from loss
of appetite and impaired digestion. I
had nearly lost the , ; unso of smell , and
my system was badly deranged. I was
about discouraged , whtm a friend urged
mo to try Ayur's Sarsaparilla , and re
ferred mo to persons whom it had cured
of catarrh. After taking half a dozen
bottles of this medicine , I am convinced
that th only snro way of treating this
obstinate disuaso is through the blood. "
