Stiles' Will Attracting Attention, HUNDRED THOUSAND ONE INVOLVED Sops of the Decemsed Think Their Mother Was Tmposed On When She Gave Her Property to Mrw, Z. A. Robinson, 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 considerab local interest from the fact that Mrs. Stiles was a sister of Mrs. G Robingon and Mrs, W. C. James of this city. She was the widow of a tormer Baard of Trade operator and the mother of Charles Stiles, sensational killing at the hands of The a 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 fllness Mrs, Robin to Chicago to nurse the unfortunate lady While she was there Mrs, Stiles made her will, In which she left the former $5,000 in cash for her own two Alexan . Stiles of Oak Park and Eugenc B. Stiles of Dixon, IIl, by giving them $100 aplece 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 Chicago 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 10 her will, in which she bequeathed to Mrs Robinson all her personal property, including diamonds, jewelry, clothing, and some house- hold farniture, the entire value of which was about §2,000. This will the two are now sceking to ground that Mrs. Stiles was unduly in- fluenced by Mrs. Robinson. They are not satisfied with having a 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 valué of the Stiles property at the time of her death was estimated at $100,000, but 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 640 acre farm just out of Dixon, 1Il, and the farm afterward sold for about $35 per acre. on went d provided sons, of the dece; set aside on od the sons have A Waverley Answer.

Surprised the Bar. The announcement ‘of the appointment of W. §. Lewls of Glenwood to the vacant po- sition on the bench of this 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. Winfleld Scott Lewis, the new Jjudge, 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 Malvern and vicinity. In 1574 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. He spent one term in the Towa' house of representatives. He has a good legal mind, his character s unim- peachable, and he is regarded as one in every way fit t0 occupy the position so ably filled by Judge Deemer. & Co. the in still of Whitelaw have attractive specialties Fothering Boston Store, their show windows more attractive special bargains on their shelves.

This is decldedly wrong, however, for the next im- portant event of the year will be the appear- ance of the Calhoun Opera company at the Fifteenth Street theater for one week, com- mencing Sunday matinee, May 13. In the company are forty-five artists, including a wonderfully clever orchestra. They will be scen in a brilllant repertoire of comic operas, produced on a magnificent scale, the costumes being the most gorgeous seen in comic opera, and every attention will be lay- ished upon the productions, Notwithstand ing the enormous expense attached, the reg. ular house prices will prevail. If there Is one theatrical event this season that will stand out in bolder relief than all others, it will undoubtedly be found in the engagement of the romantic actor, Alexander Salvini, which begins at Boyd's May 14, 15 and 16, It s not alone that it brings in 1ts train brilllant examples of what from an artistie standpoint the American stage o evolve, but the school of drama for which this organization is uniquely famous has no worthy exponent outside of its own arena, and hasn't had for a generation or more. The repertoire that Mr. Salvini will pre- sent here s as follows: Monday evening, he Three Guardsmen;" Tuesday evening, “Ruy Blas,” and Wednesday evening his new play, “Zamar." The sale of seats will open tomorrow morning at § o'clock, and, judging from the number of inquiries that have been made about the engagement, will doubtless be very large. —_— Cure Indigestion and billiousne: DeWitt's Little Early Risers, with E OMAHA DAILY WITH SPEECHES AND MUSIC. Reception Given to Menibers of Young People's Soctetles of the Churches The reception given tothe young people's socleties of the various local churches by the Young Men's Christfhn’ association last evening was one of the most larf¥y attended and enjoyable events that lias taken place at the Young Men's Christian association quar- ters this year. The brilliantly lighted rooms were thronged with guests, and a varied and pleasing program of entertain- ment passed the hours. until nearly mid- night. The rooms had been attractively arrayed with flowers and plants by a floral commit tee of the young lady friends of the assocls tion and were attractive indoed with the bright colors of the flowers contrasted with the new furniture and fresh draperfes that replaced those destroyed by the recent fire The Young Men’s Christian association or- chestra, under the leadership of Mr. Thomas J. Pennell, was stationed in one of the al- coves, and during the social part of the even- ing the music added not a little to the pleas- ure of the occasion. The guests consisted of the nearly all of the young peopl societies of the city. Amc sented were: The Young of Chbristian Bndeavor, the Baptist union, Epworth league, Daugliters of Rebekah and the Brotherhood of St. Andrew. The vist tors were met in the hall by the members of the reception committee and conducted into the reception rooms and library, where the first hour of tlic evening was enjoyably passed in general conversation and makin new acquaintances. Refreshments of lemon- members of s religious those repre- People’s Socloty ade and wafers wers served In the leciure room, and then the guests repaired to the gymnasium, where an excellent program of tie exercises was executed under the supervision of Physical Director Cook The main program was given in the con- 1t hall, where Hon. Clhiarfes A. Goss called tho asscmblage to order at 9:30 o'clock. He welcomed the guests in an appropriate speech, after which a number of brief ad dresses were made by representatives of the varlous societies represented, in which they oxpressed their appreciation of the hospi- tality of the association and their desire to assume a clgser relationship in their mutual work. A number of musical selections were interspersed with the speeches, Prominent among those were the numbers rendered by the Mozart quartet, which found exceptional favor with the audience. The young men sang exceedingly well, and Mr. C. C. Smith's baritone solo was -equally well received. Prof. Harnack added a piano solo and Mr. Thompson gave a humorous reading, which was not the least agrecable feature of the entertainment. e HEALTH COMMISSIONER T3aLKS. ‘Ehinks the Council Acts Unwisely In Regard to Contaglous Discases. Dr. Saville is highly indignant at the action of the city council in refusing to adopt his suggestion in regard to an am- bulance. He claims that this parsimony las been the cause of a great additional danger to the city of a smallpox contagion. “At the time I made my recommendation, sald he, “I could have procured an am- bulance from Fort Sidney for a very small sum. The ambulance bad been condemned by the government, but the quartermaster assured me that with some slight repairs it could be put In as gaod condition as new. ““Another lesson which is taught by this case is the necessity of a detention hospital. I included this recommendation with my communication with regard to the ambu- lance, but it was sidetracked in the same way. In this case we had a patient who exhibited a number af very suspicious symptoms. At the time of my first visit 1o one could say for certain whether it was smallpox or not. If ‘therc had bren a detention hospital we would have taken bim there at once and most of the danger of contagion would have-bgen averted. As it was we had no recourse but to leave him where he was until the disease developed. We could not take a min to the pest housa until there was absohitely no_ doubt but that he had smallpox. If theré had been even an,ambulance, we could bhave taken him away early instead of leaving him at his lodgings until yesterday morning, as we were forced to do. All this delay is in the highest degree dangerous and is bound to occur as often as we have a ‘similar case. As smallpox cases usually cost the city several hundred dollars each I cannot understand the parismony of the council from a financial standpoint, to say nothing of the demands of humanity.” CONGRESSMAN BRATTAN DEAD., Bright's Disease Following on ease Carried Him Ofr, BALTIMORE, May 10.—Congressman Brat- tan died this morning at his home in Prin- cess Anne, Md.

M. Patterson, with a feeling of profound re- gret. We desire at this time to express our high appreciation of Mr. Patterson as a min- ister and as a man. We recognize his un- usual talents and ability as an earnest, elo- quent, forceful, uneompromising preacher, and as an inspiration o his church and con- gregation we do him:high honor. We sever the relations of pastor and people with the feeeling that in ong short year Mr. Patter- son has gained a hald upon the church and upon the citizens of’ Omaha which he will retain for long years 'to come. Parting from him regretfully, ag 'ye do, we nevertheless bid him godspeed, because we know that wherever he may ga he will be a powerful factor for God and humanity, and that he will uplift by his' presence and contact, touching as he does the everyday life of the people at every point.

Last night three men went into the hat store of H. L. Pease in the Millard hotel and asked to be shown some hats. They tried on a couple of dozen hats, leav- ing their own on the counters, when they suddenly discovered that it would be a good plan to return to the store the next day to make their purchase.

The effects are the same. The results are the same, 'here s a cortain difference; in this way: he poor man if he gets enough food will soon get fat. The fnvalid, whatever food eat, cannot gel fat, unless he feeds clally digested food Since Paskola, the pre-digested food, has been prepared, people have rapldly been | growing fatter. Before Paskola there was hing that could be done to cure dyspep- sla. It was the bane of the doctors. Drugs conid do nothi Cod liver ofl made it worse, Dyspeptics, anaemics, consump tives and all people who were (hin and pale, who in fact were starving amidst plenty, were thought incurabie. Today it Is different. We have Paskola. We know that Paskola, being pre-digested, will cure starving invali It will make thin people fat. It will make pale people rosy. It will make weak people strong. Paskola does this because it Is a food. Because it s a food that will feed you whether you can digest other food or not. The starches are the fattening foods. know this forbld food to people who are growing too fat. because doctors The chief merit in Paskola is that it is a pre-digested food. Another that it is a starchy food. nother that it helps you to digest what other food you may eat. he chief good that Paskola can do is to make ail thin people grow fat. Another to relieve the pangs of indigestion. An- other to put fresh life in your veins and make you feel younger and stronger. It Paskola were a medicine it would do you no permanent good at all. Tt is not a medicine; it is a food. We need food every day of our lives. We do not nced medi- cine, Just see what Paskola has done for others: VALPARAISO, Ind., April 6, 1804, The Pre-Digested Food Co., 30 Reade St., York—Gentlemen: Your letter of April 3 at hand. Regarding my symptoms before 1 used Paskola, I was very weak; I could not digest anything; T tried everything to gain strength, but failed. My doctor advised ne to use Paskola, and 1 am satisfied it is the 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 T would be happy My liver is very bad at time 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 glven up hope. 1 am sure Paskola will restore me. Trusting to hear from you very early, yours truly, _P. A. HANK. BRIDGETON, N. J., ‘April 11, 1804, The Pre-Digested Food Co., 30 Reade St., New York—Gentlemen: Through the advice of fricnds 1 decided to try your Paskola for my daughter, who has been fn very poor health for several months past from loss of appetite and general debility. She had wasted away in flesh and at the time she began taking Paskola welghed 112 and T get vounds, and after two weeks' treatment gained eight pounds. She )z gaining in health and strength daily, with increasing appetite for the most hearty food that was repugnant tg her before takmg Paskola. A% a flésh-forming food I think it far superior to cod liver ofl or other similar preparations, and am_more than gratified with the results, WILLIAM T. ROSS.
