ONE- HUNDRED THOUSAND INVOLVED of III ( i Dotcniccl Think Tliclr Mother \\t liupuftud On When She Uave Her 1'ropcrtj to Mn. Z. A. Itoblinon. A suit Is , now being tried In the federal court In Chicago to set aside the will of Mrs. Sybil C. Stiles , who died some years ago In this city. The case has considerable local Interest from the fact that Mrs. Stiles was n sister of Mrs. 0. A. Robinson and Mrs. W. C. James uf this city. She was the widow ot a former Baard of Trade operator and the mother of Charles Stiles , whose sensational killing at the hands of Theresa Sturlata attracted widespread newspaper comment a few years ago. The death of her son , It Is claimed , somewhat unsettled Mrs. Stiles' mind and enfeebled her consti tution , and she died shortly after. During her last Illness Mrs. Hoblnson went to Chicago to nurse the unfortunate lady. Whllo she was there Airs. Stiles made her will , In which she left the former $5,000 In cash and provided for her own two sons , Alexander C. Stiles of Oak Park and Kugeno B. Stiles of Ulxoii , III. , by giving them $100 apleco each month during their lifetime , with the provision that upon their death the property from which this Income was derived should go to Mrs. Stiles' living heirs. After nursing Mrs. Stiles for a few weeks In Chlcugo Mrs. Robinson brought her to her home * In this city and kept her there until her death occurred , shortly after. Just before death Mrs. Stiles added a codicil to her will , In which she bequeathed to Mrs. Robinson all her personal property , Including diamonds , jewelry , clothing , and some house hold furniture , the entire value of which was about $2,000. , This will the two sons of the deceased are now seeking to have set aside on the ground that Mrs. Stiles was unduly In fluenced by Mrs. Robinson. They are not satisfied with having n stipulated amount each month , but want the principal to do with as they see fit. They allege that among the delusions to which their mother was subject was that she frequently com municated with and received letters from her dead son , Charles. She also thought that her other sons were. In a conspiracy to kill her. The value of the Stiles property at the time of her death was estimated at $100,000 , hut In the hands of the administrator It Is said to have depreciated so that It finally amounted to less than one-third that sum. Before her death Mrs. Stiles refused an offer of $75 an acre for a C40 aqre farm Just out of IMxon , III. , and the farm afterward sold for about $35 per acre. A \Vu\erley Answer. Why should a sewing machine costing $10.00 at the factory retail for $53.00 ? Why should a bicycle costing $15.00 retail for $123.00 ? Why should a buyer. pay $125.00 for n wheel In Council Bluffs when dealers In other towns sell the same wheel for $90.09 ? There are forty-one Waverleys being ridden In Council Bluffs , and every one has been bought with money and not two-thirds paid for with an old wheel , as has been the case with three-fourths of the $125.00 wheels sold here this year. Reader , If you do not buy for money you hold the bag for the man who got two prices for his old wheel. See ? A $1,000,000 corporation guarantees the Waver- ley equal to any wheel made , and we see that guaranty made good. Of the thirteen riders mentioned in yesterday's Bee as buyIng - Ing $125.00 whcclii.twa got wheels at cost , nlno traded In old wheels at big prices , one paid over half In Jewelry and one Is a son of the boss.

Lewis of Glenwood to the vacant po sition on the bench ot thin district came as a surprise to the lawyers of Council Bluffs and Shelby , who were particularly Interested In securing the appointment of Green of Shel by. It now transpires that Green's support ers had read the handwriting on the wall and had seen that their only hope lay In Inducing the governor to postpone the ap pointment and allow a convention of the voters of the district to decide It. They did their best , but the governor refused to wait for them to finish their plans and made the appointment on his own motion. Wlnfleld Scott Lewis , the new Judge , stands In the front ranks of the attorneys of Glenwood , where he has been practicing law for the last twenty years. All his early life was spent In Malvcrn and vicinity. In 1S74 he graduated from the law department of the Iowa State university along with Gov ernor Jackson , and this fact undoubtedly had some weight In bringing the governor to his decision. Ho spent one term In the Iowa' house of representatives.

Think * tlio Council Acts Uiiulscly In Ilegnrcl to Contusions IMsiMlSfH. Dr. Savllle Is highly indignant at the action of the city council In refusing to adopt his suggestion In regard to nn am bulance. He claims that this parsimony has been the cause of a great additional danger to the city of a smallpox contagion. "At the tlmo I made my recommendation , " said he , "I could have procured an am bulance from Fort Sidney for a very small sum. The ambulance had been condemned by the government , bub the quartermaster assured me that with some slight repairs It could bo put In as good condition as now. "Another lesson which Is taught by this case Is the necessity of a detention hospital. 1 Included this recommendation with my communication with regard to the ambu lance , but It was sidetracked In the same way. In this case \\c had a patient who exhibited a number uf very suspicious symptoms. At the tliio | of my first visit no one could say for certain whether It was smallpox or not. ft "there had b'.cn a detention hospital we "would have taken him there at once and most of the danger of contagion would havc'bpen averted.

If you are starving It Is all the same whether you starve because you cannot get food to cat or because yon cannot digest what yon do eat. The effects nro the same. The results are the same. There Is n certain difference ; In this \\ay : The poor man If ho gets enough food will soon get fat. The Invalid , whatever food he may cat , cannot gel fat , unless he feeds on artificially digested food. Since Paskol.i , the pre-dlgcttcd food , has been prepared , people have lapldly been growing fatter. Before Paskola there was nothing that could bo done to cure dyspep sia. It was the bane of the doctors. Drugs could do nothing , Cod liver oil made It worse , Dyspeptics , nnacmlcs , consump tives and all people who were thin and pale , who In fact were starving amidst plenty , were thought Incurable. Today It Is different. Wo have Paskola. We knotf that P.tskola , being pro-digested , will euro starving Invalids. It will make thin people fat. U will make pale people rosy. H will make weak people strong. Paskola does this because It Is a food. Because It Is n food thai will toed you whether you can digest other food or not. The starches are the fatlenlng foods. Wo know this because doctors forbid starchy food to people who are growing too fat. The chief meilt In Paskola Is that It Is a pro-digested food. Another that It Is , i starchy food. Another that It helps you to digest what other food you may cat. The chief good that Paskula can do Is to make all thin people grow fat. Another lo relieve the pangs of Indigestion. An other lo put fresh life In your veins and make you feel younger and stronger. If Paskola were a medicine It would do jou no permanent good at all. It Is not a medicine ; It Is n food. We need food every day of our lives. Wo do not need medi cine. Just see what Paskola has done for others ; VALPARAISO , Iml. , April H , 1801. The Pre-Dlgcsted Food Co. , 30 Kendo St. , York Gentlemen : Your letter of April 3 at hand. Regarding my symptoms before I used Packola , I was very weak ; I could not digest anything ; I tried everything to gain strenglh , bill failed. My doctor advised mo lo use Paskola , and I am satisfied It Is Ihe only thing for a weak stomach. I have gained two pounds a week. My only trouble now Is constipation , and I have been expecting those tablets every day. If my bowels would work right I am sure I would be happy. My liver Is very bad at times and I get bilious. There Is nothing that helps Indi gestion like Paskola. I have tried about twelve doctors and have been suffering more than four years. I will say that I have been so weak that I could' ' work only about two days In a week. For nearly three years I spent all.I had for doctoring and had given up hope. I am sure Paskola will restore me. Trusting to hear from you very early , yours truly , P. A. HANK. BRIDGETON , N. J. , April 11 , 1891. The Pre-Dlgested Food Co. , 30 Reade St. , New York Gentlemen : Through the advice of friends I decided to try your Paskola for my daughter , who has been fn very poor health for several months past from loss ot appetite and general debility. She had wasted away In flesh and at the time she began taking Paskola weighed 112 pounds , and after two weeks' treatment gained eight pounds. Shu } : gaining In health and strength dally , with Increasing appetite for the most hearty food that was repugnanl lo her before lakmg Paskola. As a flesh-forming food I think It far superior to cod liver oil or other similar preparations , and am more than gratified with the results. WILLIAM T. ROSS.
