BREAKING A WILL.
An Heiress w no Demands a New
Deal.
Methinks thou dost protest too much.
Probate Judge Morrison.

Annie E. F. Scofield has appealed
from the order of the probate court adj
hitting the will of Margaret Brosseau
to probate. The appellant is the
daughter and heiress of the decease d,
who died July 20, 1888. Upon the de-
cease of her mother the will in question
was produced and filed in the probate
court, and in it was provision APP
pointing 7. G. Hand sole executor OF the
estate. The appellant objects to and
contests the will upon the following
grounds: That the teStator was not pos
sessed of sufficient testamentary capacity
and of sound mind at the time of the
execution of the will. She was under
restraint, and influence when the pre-
tended will purports TO have been
signed and executed, and it is not the
will of Margaret Brosseau. She fur
Their claims that it is illegal in that it is
irregular, indefinite and inconsistent in
its terms. Objection is also mede to
that part of the instrument which con-
stitutes r. G. Hand sole executor, for
the reason that he is incompetent and
disqualified so to act. He is not suit
able person for such trust on account
of his connection with the financial and
business affairs of the estate prior to
the decease of the testator.

This is the day on which the love
lorn swain and maid give to each other
tokens of their affection. They also do
the same on other days, but st. Valen-
tine authorizes a good deal of nonsense
in this line. which would not be toler-
ated on any other day. The sweet
young school girl comes bounding to
the door to receive her IN all, and rushes
wildly up to her room to examine 1T.
The children reyel in the distorted pict-
ures which they send to each other. IN
the shape of that horrible creation OF a
diseased imagination-the comic val
entine: while poets show their lack OF
intellect by distorting words and
sense into deformed verses. Lovers,
male and female, give pretty tokens
of their love in the shape of booklets
containing dried flowers or leaves from
the Rocky Mountains, doWny owlets
perchlng on gilded moons. naked Cupids
peepiDg out of silver cages, bows and
arrows in silver and gold, hearts in
coral, butterflies made of gems, boxes

and other articles of varying utility and
ornament.

and their opinions differ as to whether

vious years. 1t seems as though this.

The directors Of the Hayes Automatic
Car coupler met at the Office of W. s..
Moore yesterday afternoon and adopted
bylaws. The new patent does not differ
in appearance from the ordinary coupler
now in use. The drawbar is two
pounds heavier, and modelled after the
standard in use on the Chicago & North
western railway. The coupling Is en-
tirely automatic, and cars which are
equipped Herewith are always in con-

1t will cost but 80 cents car to put the
new coupler in use, and thereby secure
safety to trainmen.

A story OF local interest is told by the
New York Hotel Mail, but it is alto
pether probable the writer has mace
mistake in the Twin Cities. However,
the tale is as follows:
A wealthy mill owner of st. Paul has
recently had to spend more time in bed
at the Sturtevant than was altogether
agreeable-no money and no clothes the
cause thereof. After seeing the ele-
phant until natural history research be-
gan to prove cloylng, he besought an
his legs were getting tangled up. He
obligingly did SO, and put his mellow
frierd under the blankets. He also
meandered out of the hotel with the
mill mans clothing, even down to I'M
derwear. as well as poeketing his watch
and cash
