LO.nDON, May 26.-The will of Archibald Henry Blount, who died a year ago and which leaves the residue of the testator's estate to Yale Uni versity, was today admitted to pro bate after it had been "solemnly proven." This unusual course was taken as the relatives of Mr. Blount who are not mentioned in the will or left the smallest legacy, threatened to con test on the ground that Mr. Blount was of unsound mind when he made the will. To prevent the relatives from suc- I ceeding in breaking the will, J. E. Barrett, counsel tor Yale university, called in a number of witnesses, in cluding a doctor who is one of the witnesses of the will to prove that Mr. Blount was of perfectly sound mind at the time he signed the in strument and that he remained so un til his death. The value of residue to which Yale is entitled is about $450, 000. Whooping Cough. "In February our daughter had the whooping cough.

T RIAL TEN DEAD AT FORT WORTH Railroad Situation Shows But Little Improvement, Much Suffering and Property Loss City's Water Sup ply Serious Question. FORT WORTH, Tex., May Jo. With the waters of the Trinity river still near the Miiuinit of the banks another great volume of water be'" pouring from the west fork of that stream toward this city late last night Early to-day the river is rising at a rate of six inches an hour and with such conditions as already prevail the outcome when the crest ot this second rush of waters reach this city cannot be foretold. That consider able addition property loss and suf fering will result is considered cer tain. From Sunday night until noon yes trday the river receding but slowly. During the afternoon the water was at a stand still. Last night, the second rise, the crest of which should reach Fort Worth late to-day, began. The number of dead here stands at ten. Two of the bodies of those drowned Saturday night were recov ered yesterday. One of those was that of a man named Welch, an em ploye of a saloon and the other was of a farmer named People. The rail road situation shows but little im provement. The Rock Island is making no effort to run trains in any direction. The joint track of the Texas and Pacific, Missouri Kansas and Texas and Colorado Belt will not be opened for traffic before Thursday at the least and Cotton Belt will not be opened for traffic be fore Thursdav at least. The Mis souri, Kansas and Texas is making no effort to run trains north and the Frisco is stopping all south bound trains at Carrolton and turning them back. The Fort Worth and Denver hopes to put a train through to-day but its success is uncertain. Communication was attempted yes terday with Dallas over the Houston and Texas Central by way of Ennis but the trains could not proceed further than the last named point. Only the International and Great Northern and the Houstan and Texas Central had their tracks open yester day. A conservative estimate places the loss of the railroads at $1,000,000. A serious situation has developed here in regard to tthe city water sup ply. The mains are filled with black muddy water unfit for drinking even after being boiled. The city author ities declare it may be a week before they can restore the normal water supply. Meanwhile those who can afford it are buying water from private artesian wells and those who cannot are drinking the water that comes out of the mains thirteen men, women and children were caught in the overflow in the Denton river. The condition became so precar ious that they were forced to hold the children upoirthcir shoulders to keep them from drowning. They stood in water almost to their necks for ten hours until rescued. Thirteen em ployed engaged in repairing a bridge at Grapevine were hemmed by the rising of-water on Monday. They sought refuge on top of a big water tank and at last accounts were still on the tanks surrounded by four miles of water. An attempt will be made to rescue them. DEMOCRATS VICTORY.

The office of County Coroner is not a political but a judiciary office as much so as the Circuit Judge or Jus tice of the Peace. In aspiring to that office I would just as soon ask a Re publican, as a Democrat, Socialist or nonpartisan for his support, as the office should be and during my in cumbency always has been conducted without regard to politics. I have resided in Clatsop County for 34 years, my whole interests are here, and I expect to remain here. I have tried to conduct the office with impartiality and fairness and with a due regard to the interest of the taxpayers. The annual appropria tions of the County Court for the Coroner's office which includes, physi cians, jurors and witness fees and other necessary expenses such as boat hire have been $600.00 and the actual expense has often been much below this figure. I have always deemed it an honor to be Coroner and am willing to submit the matter of my re-election to the voters on my record during my long tenure in the office. W. C. A. POHL.

In many cases the relief from pain, which is at first temporary, has become perma nent, while in old people subject to chronic rheumatism, often brought on by dampness or changes in the weather) a permanent cure cannot be expected; the relief from pain which this liniment affords is alone worth many time its cost. 25 and 50 cent sizes for sale by Frank Hart and Leading Druggists.
