TO CONTEST WILL

OF SCULPTOR WARD tmummBBBsss Relatives of Famous Artist in Stone Are Preparing a Legal Fight. ESTATE TO HOUSEKEEPER WHO BECAME HIS THIRD WIFE, WHOM HK DIO NOT MARRY UN TIL HK HAD REACHED THE RIFE AGE OF 76. New York, Aug. 3. When tbe will of J. Q. A. Ward, who was dean of American sculptors, comes up for pro bate on Aug. 9, It will be contested. By the terms of the will, which was executed on January 9. 1909,, his wld ow, Mrs. R. M. Ostrander Ward, gets 11 his property, subject to an annuity which Mr. Ward had contracted to pay to Miss Eleanor Ward of Urbana. O., a sister. Miss Ward. Edgar M. Ward, who lives at 25 West Ninety-third street, a brother of the deceased, and a nephew and four nieces living at Sutherland, Iowa, would have inherit ed Mr. Ward's property as his next of kin If Mrs. Ward had not survived him. They will contest the will. Wife Was His Housekeeper. The contest Is the epilogue of a re markable romance. Mrs. Ward was the sculptor's third wife. Although he had known her almost all his life, it was not until she was a widow and he had burled two wives, worked his way to the topmost rank among Araer lean sculptors and reached the mature age of 76. that he asked her to marry him. 8he had been his housekeeper for a number of years and Mr. Ward did not realise how much she meant to him until one day when the told him that she was going to leave him for awhile and live with a married son in Chicago. He could not bear to part with her, and asked her to be his wife. Family Disapprove Match. They were married secretly and It was a month before even Mr. Ward's own family knew of the marriage. His relatives thought him too old to marry and disapproved of the match. ., Mra. Ward, who is a motherly, white-haired woman, of some fifty summers, "very domestic In her Ideas, and a lovely character," 'as her husband was fond of describing her, feels very much hurt that the will should be contested. She thinks that the man who has Immortalized the memories of other famous men should not have his own memory dragged through the mire or the law courts. Although the realty belonging to the estate Is listed only at 110,000, and the amount of the personal property is not stated, it is believed that Mr. Ward died a fairly wealthy man. He owned a aummer home near Kingston and a house In his native town of Urbana, Ohio, and until two years ago a fine studio at 119 West Fiftysecond street. A MAVAL I', (American 2Cws Service.)

The attendance of numerous officers from the Mare Island navy yard, all In full dress uniform, lent brilliance to the wedding here today of Miss Harriet Sterling and Ensign Richmond Kelly Turner, V. 8.

GOOD BLOOD. . Glveia good, clean, healthy blood. Nature will do the rest with any caee of catarrh. Inflammatory rheumatism, scrofula, eczema, erysipelas, - bolls, pimples, scrofula, or skin disease of any kind. Good blood Invariably means vigorous appetite, good digestion and strength. Thus It stands to reason that an effective, "alterative" or blood purifier, while It will not cure all diseases, will help In righting any disease and will care those mentioned above, all or which comes from bad blood. Forty years ago Dr. A. B. Simpson, of Richmond, was known as one of the most successful physicians in three states. His success was founded almost exclusively on one prescription, the most powerful blood, purifier ever known. After his death this prescription was regularly put np as Dr. A. B. 81mpson's Vegetable Compound. - It has been used extensively all over the country and in forty years has never failed, even In that most dreadful of all blood disease, syphilis In Its worst stage. And when an alterative will do that. It, or course cleans and rebuilds blood affected with other trouble. Simpson's Vegetable Compound Is purely vegetable and as harmless as It Is effective. It Is sold at fl per bottle at all drug stores. I V. rut la M4 M Urn - "nSWfT J J IJ yn I i Sin, ti jii.ai hi 1 1 hhh

Encouraging are Now Being (Palladium Special) Indianapolis, Aug. 3. State Chair man Lee Is having many callers at the tate headquarters from all over the state and they bring: In the most encouraging reports as to conditions. The members of the state committee and the advisory committee have beeu busy during the last few weeks in gathering Information in regard to the conditions in their various dintrlcts and they will make reports ou what they have found at the meeting on Friday. Chairman Lee said he wisheJ to hear .from all of the coun ties at this meeting before adopting any definite plan for conducting the campaign. Another meeting that has been called is for the meeting of thi dis trict organizers of the Lincoln league of Indiana. Elmer Hastings of Washington, state president, has called tins meeting for Thursday of this week at state headquarters. During the raiupaign the league will have headquarters with the state committee and iil carry on its work in connection with tne committee. The Lincoln league Is arangiuar a vigorous campaign. From many parts of the state requests have come fc - authority to organize Beveridge clubs and these will' be encouraged by the Linrcln league. One of the significant features of the arrangements for the meeting on Friday is the fact that Chairman Lee Bent invitations tn 1aa1r In oil ? v eo-called factions in the Dartv and I that responses have already been received from many of them renresentlng the various factions, Indicating that all elements will be represented at the conference and that very few will remain away. This, of course, will be -discouraging news to the demo cratic state organization, because It has been figuring on the republicans indulging in a cut throat campaign among themselves this year. It Is evident that they will be obliged to hunt up some other means of attacking the republicans this year. The meeting Friday will probably determine the issues which will be made prominent In the campaign. The members or the committees and the candidates are expected to be able to report the general feeling of the people of the state on the matters that are now prominently before them and these reports will enable the committee then to determine Just what subjects the people are most interested In. The democrats have announced thlr intention to base their campaign this year on the tariff question, the high cost of living and Governor Marshall's administration. In discussing the ta riff tney win jump on the Payne-Ald-rich tariff law and the creation of the tariff commission. This was made plain by the statement of Senator Shively who, a few days ago, declared that the tariff commission was useless. He said he would devote most of his attention this year to the tariff ques tion. Among republicans who have been going over the state there seems to be ,AT

Steady Gain in Temperance Movement Is Shown by the Census Report. FAR WEST REMAINS "WET" ROCKY MOUNTAIN STATES ARE ABOUT THE ONLY ONES WHERE PROHIBITION HAS NOT MADE RAPID PROGRESS. (American News Service) Washington. Aug. 3. A steady gain in prohibition sentiment throughout the country is shown in the census bureau's annual report on statistics for 1908, now in press. It also shows that the municipal receipts in 1908 by the 15S largest cities in the United States having an estiamted population of 30.000 or more in 1908. amounted to the enormous total of $1,288,635,496. Of the 158 largest cities in 1908, 24 were "no license" or prohibition cities. Of the 151 cities for which complete returns were available for 1905, 1907 and 1908. there were 10 ""no license" cities in 1905; 11 in 1907 and 21 in 1908. The number of places licensed for the sale of intoxicating liquors by the drink was 71.366 in 1905; 67.131 in 1907 and 63874 in 1908. The decrease was not confined to any section of the country but is apparent in every group of states except in certain of the Rocky Mountain states. The decrease has been most marked in the cities of the South Atlantic states. The increase in the number of places selling by the drink from 1907 to 1908 was 100 percent in Chelsea and Fltchburg, Mass., as these cities changed from "no license" to license. The only other cities showing an increase of as much as 10 percent were Yonkers, 27.2 percent; Wilmington, 25.7 percent; Newcastle, 16.7 percent and Spokane. 14.6 percent. acts relieving the long waits. Some of the features are Miss Belle Mitchell, F. L. Hawkins, Chas. M. Slagler and Miss Maitland, who is known as the entertainer of Boston's smart, set in ner immataDie pianologues. Laides will be admitted free on Monday night following the usual custom. However, the seats must be reserved before 6 p. m. evening of the performance. Daily matinees will be given starting Tuesday. At the Murray. There is no lack of comedy interest in "Molly Bawn," the new play by Marie Doran, which the Cutter Stock company offers at the Murray today and tomorrow matinees and night performances. The dramatization of "The Duchess" famous love story has been deftly handled by this young and aspiring play builder and while the original story has been preserved, there have been introduced comedy situations that are said to be highly mirth provoking and yet absolutely consistent with the plot. Laughter chases away the tear ere it has left the eye and while essentially a play of sentiment, the author has recognized that the purpose of the stage is to entertain as well as educate and elevate, and hence the many delightful comedy situations with which the play abounds. "The Duchess" novel has been so widely circulated and read that it would seem that a following for the play has already been created, but even those who have not read this fascinating tale of Irish life and love will be- sure to find an absorbing Interest In the story as it is told In the four acts of the play. The locale of the play is laid at the beautiful lakes of Killarney In Ireland and the English manor house of tbe heroine's maternal grandfather and affords splendid opportunity for the most gorgeous scenic effects, a fact that has been amply taken advan tage of by Manager Cutter, who it Is said has provided a scenic equipment of surpassing beauty. The company is one of a high standard of excellence! .L . . J I 1 , 1 A. I a. , ' una lue pruaircuuii m us euureiy is to be ope of the season's best offerings Change of bill again on Friday.

Editor of an Idaho Newspaper Shows Up Government Official

Spokane, Wash.. Aug. 3. When W. H. Batting, register of the United States land office at Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, sent the now fauous boycott letters to George R. Barker, editor of The Pend Oreille Review at Sandpoint Idaho, withdrawing patronage following the publication of an editorial in which United States Senator Heyburn, Richard A. Ballinger, secretary of the Interior, and Batting himself were criticised, he probably reckoned without his host. Brought to tne attention of the officials at Washington, D. C, the gravity of the situation occasioned alarm with the result that Nelson Hartson, field representative of the land department, was hurried to the scene in an effort to smooth the matter over. What the outcome will be cannot bo even guessed at just now. Editor Barker is still camping upon Batting's trail. Senator Heyburn has declined to take a hand in tn embroglio, though importuned to d so by Byron publican committee. . The difference between Barker and Batting was brought to a climax by a letter. In which Batting accused Barker of violating true republican principles and threatened a bovott. of Barker's paper, also declaring his In- j tention of withholding government business from the newspapers at Sandpoint. Barker was not slow in giving the letters to a national weekly publication, and journals in various parts of the country took up the matter. Batting admits that the withdrawal of patronage from the Review was the result of sharp criticism, saying also BEST SHOE REPAIRING Done in Town by A. J. FORD.

letorc Yoi ffiiy In these days of very hot and trying weather a good many of you are deciding that it's only fair to yourself and your f anv ily that you should have a labor-saving, energy-saving, time-saving, fuel-saving electric iron to take the drudgery out of your ironing-day. Most any Electric Iron will help. BUT THE IRON YOU BUY SHOULD BE THE ONE THAT IS THE MOST RELIABLE, THE ONE THAT IRONS BEST. The Westinghouse Iron Is Absolutely Reliable v All the inventive and mechanical skill that goes with the name "Westinghouse" is back of this iron. Simply made throughout, it has nothing to get out of order. It will always be ready to work when you are ready. IT ISBACKED BY AN ABSOLUTE GUARANTEE THAT EVERY IRON THAT BURNS OUT THROUGH BEING LEFT STANDING WITH THE CURRENT ON, WILL BE REPLACED The WesttRghouse Will Iron Better All the heat is directed to the bottom of the iron. And it is directed evenly over the bottom of the iron. One part of the iron is no hotter than others. The Westinghouse iron will not iron smoothly at the point and then wrinkle the goods along the edges and at the rear. A smooth, evenly heated ironing surface makes the Westinghouse the superior ironer that it is. And Ibis Is the Prcot Take this iron and try it with any other and with all others. If ct the end of 30 days you do not find that it is absolutely the best iron you can buy at any price, bring it back and we will refund your money. And it sells for $4.25 and $4.50.

that newspaper was not in harmony with the republican party. He added: "I have no personal feeling in the matter, yet 1 could not consistently recognize a newspaper whose editor
