DENIED.
 A haIf dozen persons assembled at tho
 office of the judge of probate on Monday
 to hear his decision on the question ar.
 gued the week previous as to whether he
 would call in judge from an adjoining
 district to sit on the case. Judge Brad.
 ley denied the petition and will go on
 with the case on Saturday, August 24.
 The decision of Judge Bradley was as
 follows:
 Application of Michael J. Houlihan,
 trustee, etc.: This is an application made
 by the trustees of the insolvent estate of Lawrence Mitchell, representing that the | interests of said estate require that one, Ida M. Hazard, attend before this court and submit to an examination on oath upon matters relating to the property and | estate of the said insolvent debtor. The proceeding is authorized by stat ute and is not an unusual one. It is by l this method that the law attempts to pre- vent the concealment of property belong ing to the insolvent debtor, and the per petration of fraud, the duty and the prov ince of the judge of the probate court in this preliminary proceeding is to see that the answers of the witness to pertinent and material questions are reduced to writing, and that the examination of her on oath be conducted according to law.
 Objection is made by the attorney for the witness, Ida M. Hazard, to the quail fication of the judge of this court to pre- side at her examination. The statute provides when there shall be so near relationship between any deceased per son and judge of probate, as between father and son or brother, by nature or marriage, or when any such judge is in- terested in any matter brought to pend- ing in his court, or shall have been re- tained or consulted as attorney or coun- sel in any matter, he shall be disquaii- fled to act as judge in relation to the es- tate of such deceased person, or in hear ing such matter, if any one interested shall object thereto. and he may decline to act as such judge in any matter, if, in his opinion, it would be improper for him so to act.
 The objection of the attorney is not predicated upon grounds which by stat ute operates as disqualification. MT Houlihan, the trustee of this insolvent estate, is acting for the benefit of it's creditors and in the public interest. Ex- cept in this way he has and can have no other interest. The duty of the judge of this court in this examination is to see that the examination is conducted ac- coTding to the rules of law. In view of these conditions it is contended that I should not preside at this examination, because I am on friendly terms with the trustee of the estate.
 To urge that pleasant social relation ship existing between me and parties ap- bearing in this court should disqualify me from presiding, is unwarranted by law and ridiculous and does not merit serious consideration. Such an objection is based upon the assumption that man must be mean and incur the hatred of his fellowmen before he can be just unto them. Such a pernicious theory may be the rule of conduct which some misguid- ed men have selected, but I decline to join their class. This motion is denied. Michael J. Bradley, Judge.

ANXIOUS TO EXPERIMENT,

He stood for minute looking into

drug store, and when he entered and
approached the soda fountain II was on
tip toe, and he likewise spoke In whis-
pers, as he said to the clerk rinsinY the
glasses:
"Will you. sir--will you kindly permit
me to ask you a question:"
What is it?" was the query, as the
clerk wondered what sort of man he
had gotten hold of.
II have heard of people exploding
after drinking soda water"
so have I, hut don't believe It,"
Don't you know of any cases."

"And yet, SIR" continued the man as
he rubbed his hands and grew more
earnest, "soda water Is effervescent."
"Oh! yes"
Under certain conditions of the hN-
man system the gas contained In 3
glass of soda water might be let loose
with the most disastrous effects on the
imbiber. In fact. sir, he might explode

while his palate was yet tickled with
the flavor of pineapple and cream"
What do you want ?" bluntly demand
ed the clerk as he finished rinsing the
last glass.
I'D like to try it, sir" hOarsely whis-
pered the caller.
"You mean you'd like to see II a glass
Of our soda would blow you up?"
Yes, sir"
"Well. l can tell you that It won't
not to-day-not unless you've got a
nickel to lay down for It,"
You don't wish to try any expert
ments?"
mo. sir"
Just so. I am perfectly willing tC
take my chances. but you have no curl.
osity. I understand you perfectly. In.
stead of experimenting you are aftel

That's It,"

Of your heart you-you couldnt?"

"I see--I understand. But there are

"Oh! yes
