NOT ADMITTED TO PROBATE.
Will Of Lawrence o'Brien Null and Void
Heirs to Garry out Provisions.

Will of Lawrence oBrien Null and Void
Heirs to Garry Out Provisions.
At the regular term of the County
Court Tuesday afternoon the will of
Lawrence O'Brien, lately a wealthy
farmer of the town of Bristol, was
presented for probate, but the Judge
of the Court refused to allow the pro-
bate of the will. O'Brien died several
weeks ago and left an estate valued at
over fifteen thousand dollars. He left
surviving widow, five children and
two step children. The will which
was presented for probate Tuesday
was made six months before the death
of O'Brien and it provided that the en-
tire estate be left to the widow for her
use during life and at her death it was
provided that the estate be divided
among the children, share and share
alike.
There were no objections to the pro-
bate of the will but when the testimony
was taken in regard to the making of
the will it was discovered that the
witnesses who had signed the will had
not signed it in the presence of the
testator or in the presence Of each
other. For this reason it was impos-
sible for the Judge to admit the will to
probate and he so ruled.
AS soon as this ruling of the Court
had been entered the heirs to the es-
tate who were present in Court at the
time, held a meeting and decided that
Notwithstanding the fact that the will
had been declared null and void every
provision of the will as decided by the
husband and father should be carried
out to the letter. In few days the
heirs will file an application for ad-
ministration of the estate and in this
way the provisions of the will can be
carried out by the widow.
It is an unusual case of affairs for
will to be refused probate on these
grounds and the action of the heirs in
laying aside any personal interest and
uniting to carry out the desires of the
deceased is even more unusual.

CONGRESSMAN COOPER, chairman of
fairs, in an interview with the Wash
ington correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune, while discussing the attempt
of the Democrats and the anti-imper-
ialists to make political capital out of
the investigation of the alleged cruel
ties Of the American soldiers ia the
field said:
"Firing in the rear of troops engaged
in the field is always an unpopular
pursuit. The people of no nation will
tolerate such conduct on the part of a
political party, and the action of the
Democrats in criticising the men now
engagedin bringing about order in the
Philippines will not rebound to the
benefit of that party at the fall cleo
ton.
"While do not care to defend the
practice of torturing Filipinos, or any
one else for that matter, it isonly just
to the troops to consider the provoca-
tion they have suffered in connection
with their acts in administering the
water cure In open warfare, when
troops are facing each other in the
field and are fighting according to the
rules of civilized warfare, the spirit II
revenge is strong in a soldier when he
sees one of his friends stagger and fall
as the result of wound. Every one
who has engaged in war knows that
under these circumstances there is
desire to annihilate the enemy.
"When comrade is stabbed in the
back, assassinated in cold blood, buried
alive, or muti1ated, the desire for re-
venge is great deal stronger, and un-
der these circumstances a man would
be more than human if he could find
it in his heart to treat such treacherous
enemies with humanity. Under such
atrocious and appalling conditions the
desire to kill every one in sight must
be strong. Our boys in the Philip
pines have suffered intensely from
such atrocities, and, while every one
regrets the natives have been sub
jected to cruel treatment in some in
stances, the country should be in
formed as to the terrible provocation
under which they labored."

County Convention to Select Delegates
to the Congressional Convention
to be Held in KenOsha.
OPPOSITION FOR H. A. COOPER.
While Sentiment in County is Favorable to
Cooper Opposition Candidates Would
Receive Some Support

Attorney A. E. Buckmaster, Chair
man of the Republican County Com
mittee has announced that the County
Convention to select delegates to at
tend the Congressional Convention
which will be held at GAINESVILLE on
May 9th will be held at the Court
House on May Oath. The people of the
county seem to be taking little interest
in the Convention and for this reason
it was thought possible that the dele
gates might be selected without Con
vention but the posi- bility of a fight
in the Convention over the nomins ton
OF Congressman, forced the commit
tee to call regular Convention.
The county will be entitled to twelve
votes in the Convention and it is the
intention of the Committee to have
six delegates from the county and six
from the city.
Little can be learned as to the SEN
timent of the Kenosha county people
in regard to the nomination of a Con-
gresham. While there is a strong
of Congressman Cooper for another
term, it cannot be denied that should
there appear any opposition to the
present official there are many people
in Kenosha county who would
give this opposition support. The
county has no candidate to offer
the delegates at GAINESVILLE but
there has been some talk of dark
horse from this county. If such can
didate should be brought out in good
time it is probable that he would re-
ceive many votes in the Convention.
For several years the opponents of
Congressman Cooper have been trying
to get together On some one man but
the attempts, have been dismal failures
and the Congressman has always sail
ed into Office with little opposition. It
has been limited that Attorney Ben
Barnes, of GAINESVILLE, was a candidate
for the nomination and it is also stated
that Chairman w. w. Chadwick, of
Monroe, would accept the honor if
properly urged. However neither Mr..
Barnes or Chairman Chadwick have
made any statement of their alleged
candidacy and the delegates and party
leaders are completely in the dark as
to their intentions. If these men are
intending to- seek nomination they
should come out and make a clea n
fight for the honor.
The Kenosha County Convention
will be Whitehead Convention and
there is little doubt but that the Con-
vention will pass some resolutions
favorable to the nomination of the
GAINESVILLE man for Governor.

The Council at its regular meeting
last evening ordered the Street Rail
way franchise ordinance published,
and the question will be settled one
way or another as soon as possible.
The concessions made by Mr.. Arnold
have done away with much of the op'
position to the franchise, and some OF
the aldermen who were against the
franchise are now in favor of it. The
prospects of having line in operation
IN the city are brighter than they have
been in some time.
