LEFT TO YALE UNIVERSITY.
Archibald Henry Blount Proven Sane
at Time of Writing Will.
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. Mr. Lane of Hartland
recommended Chamberlain's Cough
Kemeuy ana aiu u bc iuivm
efJ the best o satisfaction. We found
Remedy and said it gave his custom-
it as he said, and can recommend it
to anyone having children troubled
with whooping cough," says Mrs. A.

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.

Statement to Voters.
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.

The Most Common Cause of Suffering
Rheumatism causes more pain and
suffering than any other disease, for
the reason that it is the most common
of all ills, and it is certainly gratifying
to sufferers to know that Chamber
lain's Pain Balm will afford relief, and
make rest and sleep possible. 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
