Bennett,giving at New Haven, Conn., and engaged in the mercantile business In the city of New York, visited Nebraska and asked Mr. Bryan to assist idm in preparing certain paragraphs of his will (-til the other provisions be- , ing copied from a former will ) The paragraphs referred to were: First, for a library at Salem. 111. (It provid ed for a bequest of $1,500 to which Mr. Bryan was to add $1,600.) Second $10,000 to establish a fund at twentylive colleges, to be selected by Mr. Bryan, the annual proceeds to be used for a prize to encourage a study of the < principles of free government. Third, $10,000 to be distribnted among colleges, to be selected by Mr. Bryan, the annual Income to be uaod to aia r poor boys to obtain an education. Fourth, $10,000 to he distributed r among colleges, to be selected by Mrs. Bryan, the annual income to be used to assist poor girls and obtain an education. Fifth, $50,000 to Mrs. Ban ijuuii, in iruai lur a purpose set rortn In a sealed letter deposited with the will. This sealed leUer directed Mrs. Bennett, to pay the amcunt to Mr. Bryan (Mr. Bennett proposed it as a ( direct hi quest but at the request of ' Mr. Bryan It was given to Mrs. Ben- ' uett In trust, because its acceptance ( was conditional.) The sealed letter directed Mr. Bryan to distribute the 1 $50,000 among educational and charitable Institutions In case he refused to accept it for himself and family. The residuary legates contested the three $10,000 items and the $50,000 item. The court continued the $10,000 items but on technical grounds neld that the $50,000 bequest was Inoperative. ' Tne readers of The Commoner have already been informed of the main facts, namely, that the widow and other relatives were bountifully provided for; that the testator's intention was never questioned and that the charge of undue lnlluence was withdrawn; and that Mr. Bryan announced In the beginning that he would not accept the bequest without the const!!!. of t.hft wlnnw hut. t hat. foit-. in ...W.V <f ) MMU WI?MV * IV IViV 111 honor bound to iusist upon the distribution of the $50,000 as directed by Mr. Bennett. Mr. Bryan was thus drawn Into a contest In which he had but a remote and contingent pecuniary interest, if in fact he had any at all, but which he could not In conscience abandon. The contest cost him a little more than tifteen hundred dollars for attorney's fees ana court costs, besides travelling expenses and loss of time. lu submitting his report as exeeu tor be claimed tne customary fee $2, 500, explaining tbat the amount would not be used by htm for himself, but would be spent in completing the plans made by Mr. Bennett. The fee was allowed, by the probate court and was used as follows: Fourteen hundred and eighty-nine dollars and forty-three cmts was used to pay that part of the Inheritance tax which was not covered by interest, so that the $1,500 library fund, and the three $10,Coo funds might bo used in full. Three hundred aud (Ifty dollars ' was given to the city of Salem as an 1 endownment for the library (Mr. Bryan besides giving $1,500 to the Salem library gives the site, worth considerably more than $350 ) Two hundred dollars has been deposited with Mr. Sloan, Mr. Bennet'ssurviving partner. 1 to pay for a bust of Mr. Bennett for the Salem library. The balance, $400,- 1 57 less thejjost of tiling reports, will ne paid to Rev. Alexander Irvine, Mr. Bennett'* pastor, to be used by him In the education of his sons.

Mil. HUYAN S FUND KOU HOYS. The fund for the aid of poor boys desiring a college education was distribute 1 by Mr. Bryan as follows: Oue thousand dollars to Illinois College.

As the boys who are helped by the fund are to return the money to the collego as soon after leaving college as they can convlently do so and as the money when so returned is to be advanced to others the aid extended will constantly increase. The girls aided are asked to do the same, but it not required of them. In distributing the prize fund pre ference was given to state universities except where the state contained some college of greater importance. In distributing the funds for the aid of poor boys and girls preference was generally given to the smaller colleges?the same amount of money going father among these colleges. All the principal denominations were recognized in the distribution? a little partiality being shown the Congregational colleges because Mr. Bennett attended the Congregational church. Two colored schools were included and one of the other colleges has a cuutmieranie number or Indians enrolled among lis students. The various funds were so distributed that In at least one college In every state and territory between the two oceans a permanent Bennett fund will perpetuate the name and reoall the generosity of Phllo Sherman Bennett. Mr. and Mrs. Bryan of course received no compensation for dlstrlbu ting these funds but they are richly rewarded for the lilble they have been able to do by the consciousness that they have aided a friend to make a valuable contribution to his own and subsequent generations. The Bennett oase has given Mr. Bryan a great deal of annoyance and some of the republican papers have maliciously misrepresented the facts but It is over and the money secured for educational purposes will prove a contlnu ing messing to thousands of boys an girls, while the annoyance will soon be forgotten. Foul Flay. At Asbury Park, N. J. four negroes were burned to death in a fire that destroyed the shanty of Harvey G. Spivey Friday night. The orogln of the tire is a mystery. Two of the dead are young girls and when the bodies were taken from the ruins It was found their sku'ls had been crushed. The fact has given rise to ugly rumors which the ooroner is investigating. v"-' i CAMPAIGN AGAIN8T TUBS AC By the Kltohlnns Mill L,%w and Order li^RKUO. The Kltchlngs Mill Law and Order League has started upon its campaign against the makers of and dealers in I "tussac" whiskey in that locality. I At the tlrst meeting at Burkaloo academy on Saturday, Oot. 14, a committee was appointed to admonish those who were known to be engaged In the illegal business. Tuis com mittee went to work immeoi&txly ana it is understood that, so far, the re suits of their efforts are thoroughly satisfactory. | Too second meeting was held on Saturday last and it was decided to extend the work throughout the Shaws Fork sectiou. about 10 miles below Aiken. It has been said that there arc not more than three white men in that vicinity who are not engaged, either directly or indirectly in the making and selling of "tussac." And most of these people own ilue farms and comfortable homes. Of course this estimate may be slightly in error, and there may be more citizens of the Shaws Fork section who are not engaged in the "tussac" business than that section is credited with having. At any rate, the KltchiDgs Mill league is going to iiad out who's who. The movement is of course arousing some resentment but very little open hostilltity, The numbers of the league have resolved to disregard all ties and to use their best efforts toauppresa the evil. The committee appointed at the Orst meeting to draft resolutions pre sented the fnllnwinir whinti n , U.VM "WIU ??anlmously adopted by the meeting of Saturday: "The object of this organization is < to stamp out lawlessness of all forms i and especially the illicit manufacture j and sale of whiskey. , "Whereas it is commonly reported i that whiskey is being manufactured and sold In this (immunity contrary i to law, and this body conderas this ] as one of the worst forms of lawless - < ness and liable to bring shame and , disgrace upon many of our most pro- < mising young men; therefore be it re- j solved: ] "First, That we enter our protest i against this evil and work for its suppression in an active way. i "Second, That we earnestly admonish all persons engaged in this unlaw- i ful business to discontinue same at once and save this club the necessity of proceeding agaiimt them. i "Third, That all persons who do not heed the admonition of this club i will be dealt with according to law. "Fourth, That we pledge ourselves regardless of ties of friendship or other ties to use our best efforts to sup- , press the evil and promise olllcers of the law our most cordial support aud assistance in the discharge of their duties. "Fifth, That we instruct the secretary to send copy of these resolutions to any one who is reported to this club as being engaged in the illegal manuft cture or sale of whiskey. "Sixth, That we ask the county papers to publish and nt.hp.r nanprs fr.M _ w f M I'VA M WW please copy." Dally and Weekly Newspapers. The Commoner says few avocations offer a larger Held for usefulness thau journalism and few are more broad ening. Like the lawyer the journalist is constantly engaged in intellectual combats and his wits are sharpened by the keenness of his adversary. The journalist deals with every question that affeots humanity and is trained to look upon all sides of a subject. The business side of journalism offers large rewards for recognized capacity: the reportorial side is furnishing mental discipline as well as remuneration to an army of young , men and the editorial department is still more fascinating where the editor is permitted to write what he thiuks. But nothing is more pitable than to see a strong mind grinding out editorials which offend against the conscience of the writer. No one should consent to write against his conviction. The greatest trouble with the large dailies is that they are huge business enterprises and the policy of such papers on political | questions is too often controlled by theoountlng room. As nearly all the great dallies are published by corporations, the public is often ignorant of the real owner and sometimes i those who desire to exploit the pub- i lie take advantage of this fact and i secure control of naners fnr t.h? nnr. * w?w pose of advancing their enterprises. The weeklies require lese expensive plants, and a much larger proportion of them are edited by the owners. For the reason that it speaks the oonvlotlons of one who can be indentl* fled, and has back of it a character and a conscience the weekly exerts far greater politioal influence, in proportion to its circulation, than the impersonal daily. It Is likely that the dally will become more and more exclusively a newspaper, leaving the the editorial discussion of political discussion of political questions to the weeklies which are edited by their owners. Fireman Killed. Seeking to escape death from scald lng steam pouring from a bursted arch pipe, Frank Dix, a negro fireman on engine No. 212, jumped or fell rrom the cab Thursday morning at 3:20 a. m. about fourteen miles out of Charleston on the Atlantic Coast Line railroad, and was dashed to his death at the side of the track. The ohest of the fireman was crushed and his ribs smashed by the impact of his bo* dy striking the ditoh bottom from the flying engine. Engineer Meyers saved himself from injury by leaping through a window of the cab onto the boiler of the engine. A SLICK TRICK 8*1(1 to Hftre Been Worked on * F&rmor In Union. A dispatch from Union to the Charleston Post bays is current here about a well known farmer of Burnt Facto ry, a remote section of this country, now having 1,086 more acres of land on his hands than he wants, and for which he paid a fancy prlci, all on account of a slick talking man, who said he represrnted the Standard Oi Company, of Chicago. t The story is that the stranger came i to Union the ilrst of the mouth, when J linanclers and mill men were meeting i here, and registered at the Hotel ' Union, lie was a man of rather nice \ appearance, clean shaven and about < twenty-live ypars old. lu s me way \ he became acquainted with the farm- < er, who Is about tifty years of age and J all his life has been a hard working < and frugal farmer, having now ac J quired considerable means. i The stranger told the farmer he was in search of mineral lands for his company, and after going over the farmer's land, said he wanted the adjoining place also. lie asked the | farmer to find out if this could be ] bought and ac what price, though not 1 to mention him in It, as the owner I might wish too muoh, if he thought 1 an outside man wanted it. Some days afterwaid, as the story continues, the farmer claims to have reported to his client that he could get all the land at $10.50 an acre, which Is considerably more than it is worth, though he did not say so. The price seemed satisfactory to the stranger and he told the farmer to go ah^ad and buy the place, pay for It, and he would take the two properties oil hie hands, making payment for both at one time. It seems that the farmer then went bo Spartanburg, where he had some hard earned Havings amounting to, with interest, over $2,000. This he irew out, and, it is said, arranged B with a bank for the balance, mortgaging his property to secure it. lie then paid, so it is alleged, his neighbor for the land, got the title and came to Union to turn it over to the Chicago- u an, but he failed to And his man. f After two days he returned. The Chicagoan was still absent. Again last Friday he came, but his would-be representative of the Standard Oil Company bad entirely disappeared. Now tbe farmer is anxiously looking and waiting for news of him, and in the meantime is the possessor of $11,40.1 worth of land that he does not want. As to the Chicagoan, it is currently believed that he got a good rake otr for making the sale, and will never be heard of again, as a telegram to a local uewopaper, from the Standard Oil Company, of Chicago, says that he is neither now nor has been in their employ. Some Sarcastic Comment. At a recent diocesan convention in the neighborhood of New York Rev. John Marshall Chew of Newburgh offered the following resolution: "That no talent.for high tinance no useful, service to the community, no benefaction to the church or to objects of philanthropy cau excuse or atone for dereliction in trust, contempt for the rights of others, or disregard of the iuico ui common /lonesty." lilshop h Potter opposed the resolution and ad- \ vised Rev. M. Chew that it was un- i timely, and remarked to the effect t that we should not pass judgmout till r a linal verdict has tnen rendered by \ those who are investigating. The New c York Mveuing Post, with charming e sarcasm anent lhshop Potter's views 1 that "the church will get into no end c of trouble if it meddles with morals, i especially those of the rich." Then t the Post mildly remarks that Rev. t Chew "would certainly not presume i to set up mere morality instead of law as a test of oondu3t." If this sarcasm c has no effect let them refer to the lit- ( tie biblical incident of the fable Joth- 1 am related to Abimeleoh concerning t the trees that would have a king to t rule over them. It would seem that I Pishop Potter is seeking shade beneath i some very thin financial timber. 1 A Monatronn Doctrine. Referring to contributions to oam- t paign funds, the Chicago Chroniole c says: "They are good or bad, accord- t Ing to the motive with which they are ( given and the use to wbloh they are j put." And then referring particular- c ly to insurance contributions to the j republican campaign fund, the Chron- , iuic nuuBi xijo uiuuoy u*eu to neieaL | William J. Bryan and the democratic ^ party was cbviously put to good use." Then, we presume, says The Commoner, It Is of no importance that these particular contributions were stolen from the policyholders. A great many * desperate efforts have been made to * support "the end justifies the means" { doctrine; but newspapers of character J are not as a rule bold enough to support that doctrine as blunUy as the : Chicago Chronicle does. Carried to its lnurical p.nnnliiafnn fcV?p. flhrnnlflla'a * -n a UW trine would mean that a Chicago pickpocket could purge himself of sin by contributing a portion of his ill-gotten gains to the Salvation Army, or, to ! draw a more complete parallel with the Instance under discussion, by ex- ( pending a portion of his stealings in the efTort to secure the appointment of a ohlef of police who would permit him to continue his bad practioes. - | It is hard to believe that a sixty-five i dollar buggy can be bought for $49.00 i and with it a set of $12 50 harness at ] $4.90.

Dan Slocum, the member of the :ang of feather renovators arrested or attempting to assault a Miss Pad;ott near Columbia recently, waived >reliminary before a magistrate, and Jlocum was sent to jail in default of )ail. He lias employed no attorney so ar. No evidence was given, and it is litll3ult to get at the details of the illeged assault. It appears from what can be learnid of the affair that Slocum and three >f his companions found Miss Padgett done at her father'R home, and that; ilocum grabbed her, when she screamid. The strangers vanished and the leighborhood was soon out searching or them but it was a sheriff's officer vho caught them. Slocum's pals are being held, as susleots. They all claim to be working or the National Renovator Company >f Chicago, and cannot be run in for ragrancy. But it is thought that some ight might be thrown on the aeries of lold ups the city has witnessed the >ast few weeks by holding them. Tuesday night A. F. Funderburk, a ^11 1 - ? -- m veil kuowd lurnuure dealer, saw a veil dressed white man standing under ome trees near Trinity church, aplarently waiting for him as he ap- ; iroaohed.
