Hanker Howe's Will. Following close upon the horrible murder of Banker Howe and his aged wife, the will of Howe carries with it a two.fold interest, which is greatly inereased by its singular provisions. This dooument, which bears the seal as Henry Gunn, as notary, was filed and admitted to probate in the probate court, on Tuesday morning. It opens with a provision that his funeral and just debts be paid, and without farther ceremony for it Is a short document, covering but four pages and a half goes on with the subject matter. To Mrs.

Arvilla nowe, his wife, who was murdered with him, be bequeathed the old homestead, about which lie one hundred and sixty acres of land, a farm in Tazewell county, all the household furniture and belongings, all live stock, bug gies, etc, and $20,000 in cash. The personal property was to have been hers absolutely, and the real estate hers during her natural life. To his daughter, Marietta A. Ervin, he gave a section of land in the southern part of the county, near Wenona; to Mrs. Harriet E.

Hodge, another daughter, he gave lots 1. 2 and 3 in Wenona, and an eighty-acre farm and a three hundred and sixty acre farm in Mashall county; and to his daughter, Mrs Ida Fowler he bequeathed three one bun- dred and sixty acre farms ami a one hun dred aud twenty acre farm in this county, and a one hundred and sixty acre farm in Marshall county. Each of these bequests is for lifo only, and at the death of the legatees goes to their children, they only enjoying the rentals. The sons, Jerome and Charles Howe, are mentioned as having already received a section of land each, by deed. These legacies, however, amount to less that eighty thousand dollars, and the grout bulk of the estate, amounting to nearly two hundred thousand dollars in value, princU pally real estate, is created into a fund for the benefit of his grandchildren.

All parcels of real estate owned by Howe, not otherwise bequeathed are included. All farms of i less than a quarter section are to lie sold and the money received invested in larger farms. The rentals each year are to be re-invested in other lands. This process, under the supervision of the executors, is to go on until a-i each grandchild bscomes thirty years of his or her share Is given out. The investing of the money received from the sale of the small tracts of laud is, however, left to the discretion of the executors, who may divide it among the grandchildren pro rain, if they so desite.

Any contestant of the will is deprived of any and all legacy or legacies. No one who is not a blood relative or may not be a lineal decendant of Peter Rowe may inherit a furl I) ing If one of the grandchildren should die before reaching the age of thirty, his or her share is to be divided among all, and if one, having received his or her share, should die without issue, the property held by such a one also reverts to the fund. Jerome and Charles Howe, the sons of the obi gentleman, are appointed executors with, out bond, to carry out these most pingular proisions, and it is intimated that they will divide the money received from the sale of the small tracts as the will allows. The gignnture of Howe is written in a hand that through appearing shaky on paper must once havo had the firmness of iron, for the characters are singularly bold and distinct. The estate thus left in trust, at eight per cent will compound at leist fifteen years and in many cases twenty-five j'esrs, Amounting in the aggregate to $500,0 0 at the least estimate.

A codocil, detached from the will aid bearing no signature, bequeathed $10,000 each to Wheaton College and the Missionary Union Baptist Society, Congo Mission in Africa, and $5,000 each to the National Chrltin Association and the colored schools of the south, of Baptist persuasion. It was denied probate. Ms Mooter That C. M. SHAW Is enjoying euch healthy trade this fall.

One side or the other were wrong, but the jury gavethe plaintiff the benefit of the doubt. The case, as a tale of domestic life, is quite interesting. The youtipr people were married in March, audas Mrs. Thomas alleged, after the first of April, gave her a beating as often as once a week, until July, when she went to live with her parents, ami brought suit against bim before a justice of the peace at Utica, for asBault. lie was fined five dollars and costs, and his wife then began a suit for divorce, and filed a petition for an injunction to prevent him from disposing of his prop erto.

The assault csne was appealed. Thomas had a different story to tell. Ite. fore bis marriage, another gallant had paid her homage, and there etill remained a warm spot in bis wife's heart for the other fellow. This caused the fires of jealousy to burn in the breast of Thomas, and shortly after his marriage, he was informed that, the fellow had visited the house.

This made Thomas angry, and when he accused bis wite of receiving him, she denied that, be had been near the place. He then accused her of hiding the truth from him, and a family row resulted. During the muddle she beg-in sticking pins in her mouth and making demonstrations as though to commit suicide, and Thomas went home a.id persuaded bin mother to go over to his hou--e nnd nssint her. After this, she left. He claims that the entire trouhle rents wi'b hit mother-'n law, who is inanical to him mid desired her daughter to procure a divorce and alimony, or part of his property The result in this case will have its effect upon the proceeding" for divorce.

Doing a wholesale, as well as a retail business, TRASK is able to purchase direct from the manufacturers as a jobber, and thus saves jobber's profits to his retail trade, something that small retail houses are unable to do. Two traveling salesmen, G. F.

Trask and Frank Mcars, are kept on the road the year around, and visit regularly over one hundred towns in Northern Illinois and Indiana. All goods sold by them are accompanied by the same guarantee as given by the house. Dates made known later on.
