Walker are the executors named in the will, the former to act without bonds. Mr. Walker' bonds were fixed at f 10,000 for the present, but w ill probably be raised to about twit e that amount after the ap praisement of the estate, w hich is cli mated to be worth from $10,000 to $00,000. These are rather large bonds, when it is considered they are to otaud during Mr. Walker's life as such executor. The will is peculiar. It gives to the deceased's maiden sister of Connecticut, all his property in that state, valued at from flO.OOO to $20,000; It bequeath to his widow all his personal projM-rty, money, note and account and town property in Forest Grove, and 20 acre of land in the Walker donation claim, ad joining the Grove, in fee simple. Also, his donation claim, consisting of more than 600 acres, nearly all prairie, and 80 acres school land adjoining, to his widow during her life. It further provides, that upon her death, the said land is to be tied up for nine hundred and ninety nine (999 years, and during this period, one-half the rents and profits are to be used in repairs, improvements and pay ing taxes; the other half is to Ie paid to the America Missionary association, of Xew York City. Al the expiration of t!)9 years, the proceed are to be given to "some other protectant missionary society, but in uo event is any part of it to be given to tho siipKrt of any Roman or Papal society whatever. There are 11 neres in Al. Smith's donatiou laud claim, belonging to the estate of the deceased, of which no dis position was made in the will, A legal point: Will not the terms of the will which entail the estate for 000 yearn, In validate the testament?

They found the i-ll'ei tiv remedies for thest common uilnn nt in the root and herbs which crew in the licithlmriug forest and fields. They had learned that nature has a cure (or very ill. These potent remedies agisted their sturdy frame to ipiickly throw oir diseaxo and left no iniNoii in the system. The unpleasant feature of modern nractiee with mineral medicine is the J injurious after effect on the system. May not modern physical ileeneraey Ikj tttie to this feature? A d rug-saturated system is not in a natural, consequently not in a healthy, Mate. If any of the main organs uro cloyged with trace of the mineral txiison used to drive out a particular disease, the whole machinery of life i deranged and early decay ol natural (towers is the inevitable result. There can be noquestion that remedies from the laboratory of nature are the best. If they are as efficacious, they have the advantage of leaving no aflrr itiig. Their efficacy, if properly compounded, and the proper remedy applied to the proper disease, will not lie doubted. The exfverie.nco of agea proves it. Their disuse ha come aliout principally through the rapid congregation of jnople n citiea and village, rendering tU'se natural remedies difficult to obtain. Progressive business enterprise has lately led tp putting these old time re med'es w ithin reach of all classes. The proprietor of Warner's M.ife remedies, in the faith that the sople of to-day would tie benefited by usiiiir the simple remedies of log cabin days, have caused investigation to lie made and secured the formula of a nuinlior of those which long and Pticceasful use had proved to be most valuable.
