He will present it faultless before the throne of my Heavenly Father; and I entreat my children to maintain and defend, at all hazards, and at any cost of per sonal sacrifice, the bleesed doctrine of the complete atonement for sin through the blood of Jeaus Christ, once offered and through that alone.” This ta the extraordinary and striking utterance which begins the last will and testament of - John Pterpout Morgan, who died at Rome on March 31 last, whose' body, heaped over with flowers from the crowned heads of Europe, was a fortnight later brought back to his own land and last Monday was borne to its last resting place at Hart ford. A Wonderful Testament. Ever since the funeral the publica tion of the great financier's last will has been awaited with keen expec tation. and it is s.ife to say that of ill the-interesting testaments ot emi nent citizens of America, that of .Ur. * # e Morgan,, to be offered for probav* here .Mon(ivy morning, is by fur the most interesting.

IH C Wagons Are Tough iID you ever notice when ooe of the wheeU of your loaded wagon dropped into 8 rut or bumped over 8 stone how the seat springs gave and rebounded, almost throwing you off? That is an indication of the shock and strain that the rigid spokes and axles have to stand whenever the wagon is traveling over a rough road or through a field. vThe l HC * wagons your local dealer sells Weber New Bettendorf Columbus or Steel King take these stresses and strains as a matter of course. From neckyoke to tail board they are built of selected, air-dried lumber, strong and /tough, bending to strains but coming back as straight and true as ever when the load is removed. Besides being toogh, I H C wagons are light running. The wheels have just the right pitch and gather, and run true. All skeins and skein boxes are paired. The running gear is assembled bv skilled workmen whose wages i. depend as much on the quality as on the quan tity of the work they turn out. Consequently, I H C wagons are practically all of the came {ugh standard of quality throughout. Weber and Columbus wagons have wood gears; New Bettendorf and Steel King have steel gears.

Younger .MojEan Chief Heir. The amount of bequeistg and trusts, named by specific sums, ia under twenty million dollars, but the entire rroldue of the estate is left to J. P Morgan, Jr., who is designated by his father to become {he chief heir not only to his fortune, but to hit many charitable and artistic activi tie». * As to the amount itself It is unu- tal in many of ita features and, ac cording to those two or three inti mate friends who already have had a glimpse of it. it is a portrait of Mr Morgan himself, beginning with the' striking confession of his religious faith (a side of his character which was known to his close associates but not to the world) and running 'through all its articles duly set forth in the same logical*nd orderly fashion which bis friends say mark ed all Mr Morgan's nientdl processes Provided for Every Contlnxem >. He has apparently provided with painstaking care for every com in gency that might affect his -family or his banking firm, and to his exe cutors. namely, his pen. John Pier pont Morgan. Jr., his two sons-in law. Win. Pierson Hamilton and H. L Satterlee, and his friend, Lewis Cass Ledyard. he gives careful instruction under many clauees as to alternate courses of procedure. It is to be noted also that his grandson. Junius Spencer Morgan. Jr., a young man of only HI. now a student of Harvard is repeatedly nominated to take up important duties in the event of the death' of his father. John Pierpont Morgan. Jr. In this city the question most fre quently asked by leading citizens am learned societies lias, been that as to the disposition of Mr Morgan's'won derful collection of pictures and other art treasures Mr Morgan makes perfectly plain wha* his own hopes on this point have been and yet leaves his son. who is his residuary legatee, ytuire free dom in the matter. Charitable Ilequotc. The public charitable bequests are as was predicted by many of those conversant with his immense ber.efl- ciai’es made during h:s life-time, comparatively small and i» the direc tion of those objects to which Mr Morgan’s beneficiaries are already well known. For instance, in the rase of the great'lying-in hospital in New York. • Mr Morgan gave out over a million dollars, he uses the following language: Without imposing any duty, trust or obligation upon my residuary le gatee I request he continue, so long as in his Judgment the same shall be necessary for Its support, the same assistance which I have been la ths o • habit of giving during my life-tims tal af tta ettf «f Raw Tdrk.” /WOI Mai* la-say 4. It la worthy af aata that the win is asratai as lata at January 4 last, aad a codicil 'was attached aa Janu ary 4. daiy the day before Rr Rer- gaa took leave of America ea the trip abroad, from which he never re turned. The doenmeat begins with the religious utterance which has al- rsady beta quoted. Article II pro vides that his body shall be '^buried la the family • burial, place prepared by mjr father la Cedar Hill Cemetery at ’ Hartford. Conn..” and that the same simple y funeral arrangements adopted In tlie case of his father shall be carried out in his own case. Payment of Debts. Article III directs the payment of jiis debts, funeral expenses, etc., and then gives to his executors the-fol- owing “Full power and authority to recognise and pay as among such debts and promise or obligation made by me, Verbally or otherwise, which although not in such form that the holder could compel pay ment thereof by my estate, my exe cutors think proper to be paid in their own Judgment or because from memoranda or verbal directions left by me or from other sources they are satisfied that it would be'my wish to have paid.” The disposition of the estate then follows, the first provision^ being those for his own family. To hia ‘beloved wife, Francis Louisa Tracy Morgan.” the income for life of a trust fund of one million dollars, with power to dispose of the capita by will. Mr Morgan explains that I give my wife this power of dispo- sittion in order to enable her to make auoh legacies as she may desire to her relatives or friends or for liarity.” Mrs. Morgan's Trust Funds. Mrs.^MoragnJs already entitled to he income of a trust fund created >y Junius Spencer Morgan (Mr Mor- •tt-n’s hither) by deed dated July 1 67. The will provide;-, that she q rqw to receive for life tltv income o: an additional irust of euclf amount hat her total income from these two tusts i-haH (asid*;. from the Incom* >f the one t million (foliar fund) unount to SHut.iinn a year.

New York, together with the fOrniture, paintdigs.^ etc.., (except family portraits) in both houses. The taxes and insurance upon both these pieces of property are to be paid during her life, not by Mrs Morgan, hut by the estate. Appoint meat of Fuads. The next article of the will are de voted to Mr Morgan’s children. His son. J-hn Pierpont Morgan. Jr., re ceives an outright legacy of $3,000.- 000. His two married daughters respectively Louisa, the wife of^Her- bert L. Satterlee, and Juliet, tta wife of William P. Hamilton, receive each the income for life front-a trust fund of 93,000.000. Upon the death of the daughters these funds are to go to their children, but each daugh ter is given power ”to dispose of said sum of $3,000,000 by will among her issues in such shares or proportions and on such lawful trusts ss she may think proper.” The third daughter.

Year's Halary to Employee*. Aa unusual clause follows, show- lag Mr Morgan's thought for ail the people who have beem near him in bin daily work. This clause reads as follows: “To each of the employees at the time of my death of my firm of J. P. Morgan A Co., of the city of New York, except Charles W. King above named an amount equal to one year's salary of such employee at such time; to each person who shall survive me N<ho was at the time of the dissolu tion of my firm of J. P.

Further, n legacy of 91.- 000 is given "unto each servant, of my household whether in New York. Cragston.

If his son already possesses such rigjits then they are given to the grandson. Junius. All the fore going provisions for the wife and children are made preferential pro visions. N Having thus cared for his immedi ately family, Mr Morgan proceeds to make provision for various relatives. Kelative*~Not Forgotten To Jennie 'Bigelow Tracy (the widow of his brother-iti-law. Charles Edward Tracy. | the income for life of a trust of 11.000,000. the capital upon her death to go to the issue of Charles Edward Tracy. And to- .his two sisters-in-law.
