queathed Location as Part
Of Indian Land.
OLD DOCUMENT IS FOUND.
LAND WAS BESTOWED ON COUS
IN OF LA SALLE FOR SERVICES
RENDERED IN TIME OF DIRE
NEED.
Chicago, June 13. Conveyance of
Illinois land including the site ol Chi
cago and other lands in the wilder
ness over 200 years ago, by the
French explorer Chevalier de L.a Salle
in his will just discovered the first
will that conveyed lands in "Xew
France" recites the property convey
ed thus: "All my rights in the coun
try of the Miami. Illinois and others
to the south, together with the estab
lishment which is in the country of
the Miamis, in the condition' which it
shall be at the time of my death, of
the Niagara and all the others which
I may have founded thre, together
with all barges, boats and great
boats, movables and immovables,
rights and privileges, rents, lands,
buildings and other things belonging
to me which Bhali be found there."
The will identifies the testator as
"Robert Cavalier, Esquire, Sieur de
La Salle, Seigneur and Gouvenor of
Ft. Frontenac in New France." This
daring explorer launched the first ves
sel, except Indian canoes, that ever
floated in the Great Lakes and he,
through his rights of discovery, claim
ed the Illinois land including the
present sight of Chicago, which was
also disposed of in the will. The
document has been forwarded to Ni
agara Falls by its finder, Representa
tive Porter of New York. M. Francois
Plet, the cousin of La Salle was nam
ed in the will as the beneficiary. It
was thought the services which this
cousin rendered to La Salle during
the times of pressing need which
caused La Salle to give to him these
valuable possessions. "Wishing to
acknowledge as much as possible the
great obligations which I owe to M.
Francois Plet, my cousin," he said in
the will, "for the signal services
which he has rendered me in my most
pressing necessities and because it is
through his assisce that I have
preserved to this tiiNJt'ort Frontenac,
I give, grant and trafnpr to said M.
Francois Plet. these presents in case
of my death." The will was written
in French in Montreal and is dated
August 11th, 16S1.

ALL EYES DIRECTED
TOWARDS CROPS
Those Who Have Fingers on
Business Pulse Particu
larly Interested.
WILL CHANGE CONDITIONS.
PRESIDENT OF ILLINOIS CEN
TRAL RAILROAD SAYS BUMPER
CROPS WILL HAVE ENCOURAG
ING RESULT.
Chicago, June 13. Prosperity is re
turning rapidly, the wholesale houses
here feeling much more of its stimu
lus than industrial interests and rail
roads, but all lines of business are
watching the crop prospect with more
eagerness than ever before, and hope
fully, for good crops and good prices
are predicted. President J. T. Hara
han of the Illinois Central railway,
one which is very dependent on agri
cultural prosperity said: "Beneficial
results attending a bountiful crop will
have an encouraging effect upon busi
ness generally, and I think that as
soon as crop conditions throughout
the land are assured there will be a
gradual resumption of general busi
ness activity." Dun and Bradstreets
reports point out the all-importance
of the successful moving of the crops
which, includes the Imperative need
that the system of crop marketing
which cares for the surplus at harvest
be not disturbed by unwise legislation.
In checking the evil of "bucket shops"
which do not deal in real commodities,
Oklahoma recently enacted a law
which for lack of discriminating pro
visions drove out of the state the legi
timate board of trade interests as well
as the bucketshops. In expectation
of the successful mo-Ang of the crops
in the west the manufacturing inter
ests that center here are gradually
increasing their forces, as are those in
the east The coal business has not
yet felt this increase, and the lumber
business has had an enormous falling
off, awaiting a revival of building
when the money frm this year's crop
is put into circulation. Only a fraction
of the crop will be needed at the time
all of it Is harvested, but the system
of exchanges furnish a market where
speculative interests can and do carry
the major part of the load under the
future delivery system which begins
with the farmer and ends with the
consumer. That the commercial and
banking interests were right in de
nouncing attempts to cripple this sys
tem has had recent illustrations in
the south, where similar attempts in
respect to cotton curtailed the market
and reduced prices, while last year
the active market of the exchanges
advanced the value of wheat hundreds
of millions of dollars.

Columbus, O., June 13. It has been

Eat Wliat

Kodol will digest it.
" Love's Avakeriing.
lie criticised her puddings, and be
didn't like, her cake; he wished she'd
make the biscuit that his mother vised
to make; she didn't wash the dishes,
and she didn't make a stew, and she
didn't mend his stockings, as his moth
er used to do. Ah, well, she wasn't
perfect, though she tried to do ber best
until at length she thought her time
had come to haTe a rest So when one
day he went the same old rigmarole all
through she turned and boxed his ears,
just as his mother used to do.
Though something about her struck
him when first her form he scanned,
that something, you may rest assured,
was not her darling hand. Alas, that
rough awakening from love's delicious
dream! It soured the milk of mutual
love to anger clotted cream. So o'er the
tiff they parted, a thing that oft oc
curs. He went home to his mamma,
and she went borne to hers.
You need & sufficient amount of
pood wholesome food and more thxn
this you need to fully digest it.
Else you can't pain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomach if
it is weak.
You must eat In order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat a suffic
ient amount of food regularly.
But this food must be digested,
and it must bo digested thoroughly.
"When the stomach can't do it,
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way to do Is to eat
what you want, and let Kodol di
gest the food.
Nothing else can do this. When
the stomach is weak it needs help;
you must help it by giving it rest,
and Kodol will do that.

A combination of the hliman idea of the Dulcimer with the keyboard of the Clavicord, both instruments that figure prominently in the history of the early efforts to ob
tain music by the use of strings or wires, and which we have often referred to, was effected about 1711 by Christofale in Florence, Italy. This instrument was really the
first piano. It won the praise and distinction in its day that the artistic
'AJRIR
AYER
ANO
enjoys today, and was none the less remarkable for its ingenuity and marvelous musical triumph. Our factory here in Richmond, in producing the Player Piano gave to the
world a wonderful work making everybody, young and old alike, accomplished pianists without previous study or knowledge of music, giving to each the ability to master
on the piano the most difficult classical compositions as well as the simple airs of current popularity.
TWO INSTRUMENTS IN ONE is really what the Starr Player Piano is a piano for hand-playing and a player piano for perforated music. It is widely known for its remarka
bly sweet, singing tone.
A FACTORY ORGANIZATION OF YEARS' STANDING IS BEHIND EVERY STARR PLAYER PIANO,"hence it is safe and -sound to buy. We sell on a liberal monthly or weekly
payment basis. Come in and play for yourself. You will then begin to appreciate what this almost human piano has in store for you.
