FILED FOR PROBATE.

The will of the late Charles R. Sci
ber was filed for probate in the county
court on Monday. November 18th.
The will names James Pringle of Ro-
sta this state and the wife Henrietta
Seiber, as administrators. The will
is an old one and bears date of Octo-
Der 29th, 1880. over twenty two years
ago. At that time there were four
living children, Amelia Louise. Mary
Francisco, Hedwig Anna. Alice Hen
rietta.
Since the date of the will there
were born to the late Charles r. and
Henrietta Seiber, seven children, all
of whom survive. The will which
was filed for probate left all the prop
erty to the widow and these children
and it's terms in short were as follows.
A bequest was made to each of these
four children of certain acreage of
land in Custer county this state,
known as the home place. All the
rest of the property was left to the
wife. the will mentioned mum ber of
DdICelS VI lhlu. IL dlSO W
the widow all the cattle of which the
deceased was possessed of at the time,
in Barber county, Kansas.
Since the will provided for the first
four children, they must take that.
The law provides that the unborn
children at the time the will was
made shall share in equal parts after
the widow takes her one-half share,
as provided by the law of the state.
and also after she has taken what
the deceasedoriginally bequeathed her.
Some of the land and some of the
cattle have been disposed of since the
time of making the will.
How much the estate will amount
to now is uncertain. The interests of
the Seiber Cattle company have not
been settled and the largest portion of
his estate is supposed to be in this in
vestment. The widow received all of
the insurance, the amount OF which
was stated in this paper in former
issue.

"Some people, said a poultry %fancier.

have their ideas and notions about these
things just as they have about everything

Now suppose, for instance. that you
are interested in poultry, and you go in

the g,ound, or anywhere, II II has no nest,
and II will set without any ggs to set on,

facts about the setting hen, but here's the
curious thing.

MILLING or THE CHINCHIILA.
Fur Dealers Interested In Its Danger Of
determination.

Fur dealers are much interested IN the
news from Chile that the chinchilla has
almost been exterminated by fur hunters
and that stringent measures will have
to be applied to prevent the extinction
OF the animal there. In spite Of laws for
its protection in Bolivia, the chinchlla
has almos, entirely disappeared from that
republic, and furriers fear that ii may dis
appear in Chile as well.
According to customs reports the num-
Der of the animals killed in Chile mas in
creased greatly in recent years. The
number OF chinchilla pelts exported in
1900 was COS 800, more than double the
exports Of 1895.
A scientific society in Chile has already
drafted a law f%orbidding tho hunting II
the chinchilla for four or five years In GER
tain regions, and allowing hunting else
where for only half the year. 1t also for
bids the use of firearms, dogs. fir and
in fact, everything except traps.
The fur dealers expect that the law will
be enacted and predict that the price OF
ohinohilla fur viii soon DO very much higher.
