It is asserted that Stillwell received stocks in the magnesite company and ™ also $90,000 and Eppinger alleges that Still- well has retained more than was due him as a result of the deal. Hence the demand for an accounting. The bank- ing company fs joined-simply as the depository of Stillwell's funds. ———————— Money Appropriated for Hospitals.

The Emporium directors believe their custom of giving an annual theater party promotes good féllowship and an esprit de corps and makes the employes and employers understand one another better. The hundreds of pretty girls and bright locking young men present made up an unusually interesting audience. The play was just the kind to suit such a gathering and from the uproaricusly appreciative small boys in the gallery to the sedate officials In the boxes every one seemed to have a thoroughly good time. There were no speeches or other for- mal doings and the evening passed pleasantly. ——————— Contest Will of a Miser. Charles Betz, miser, will not have a $50,000 tombstone erected over his grave if his relatives, whom he disin- herited, can prevent it.

They say that with the ex- ception of a sister of the deceased, Le- zetta, who is known as Sister Mary and who resides at Fort Madison, Iowa, they are the nearest of kin of the de- ceased. They assert that the testator was of unsound mind and point to the fact that in a will of April 28, 1905, he devised his property to his relatives. Later, they say, his mind became im- paired and fter directing that his sis- ter be given $5 and all other relatives $1 each the balance of his estate was put {n trust for the erection of a mon- ument over his grave. It is sald that Tils estate is worth $50,000. ‘Works Board Lets Contracts.
