SHE WILLNOT ACCEPT
Mrs. W. VI. Cooper Elects to Take
Portion of Husbands Es-
tate Allowed by Statute.
MAY DELAY ALL SETTLEMENT.

In the county court this morning,
Mrs. Anna Cooper, widow of the
late Willis W. Cooper, filed a formal
notice stating that she wou1dsdec1ine
to accept portion of the estate of
her husband left to her underline will,
and that she would claim the widows
portion of the estate as allowed by
the statutes of the state. This action
on thespart of Mrs. Cooper has long
been expected, but now that it has
come in formal manner it is thought
that it will delay the settlement Of
the estate for many months.
Under the provision Gof the will,
Mrs. Cooper was not named directly
as legatee, but Mr.. Cooper had ar
ranged that the propertylof the es-
tate was to be held in trust for her by
Lawrence University..at Appleton and
the Methodist Missionary society.
Mrs. Cooper was to have shared the
income of the estate with her daught-
er, Mrs. Charles H. Beache1. By the
new arrangement Mrs. Cooper will

(where there'is but one surviving child
this portion of the estate so as the
personal property is concerned, and as
there is nc realty inS the estate, that
question will not have to be taken up
by the court.
The election of Mrs. Cooper to ac-
cept the amount allowed by the state
law will probab1yainterfere with the
carrying out the plans .of the de-
ceased husband, and it is possible
that the fight which will follow her
dec1ination to accept. may result in
Lawrence University losing all the
amount offered by'sMr. Cooper. In
this case the entire estate would be
devided between Mrs. Cooper and her
daughter after the payments of the
debts and the 1egacies:' provided by
the will.

SAID an American, who has lived
in the Philippines for over six years,
and who is we'll acquainted with local
conditions:
eff entertained a deadly hatred
toward all Fi1ipinos, if wanted to
inflict upon the islands the greatest
possible injury, I would rejoice to see
the establishment of Filipino indie
pendence. Nothing else that could
be planned or done at this time would
be productive of more strife and
misery.
We're independence announced, the
alleged government would speedily
resolve itself into military o1igarchy.
The country would be torn by con-
tending factions. Revolution would
follow revolution. The people would
be p1undered. Political power would
be attained by intrigue, force and as
sassination. The worst element
would soon obtain control. Popular
leaders like Palermo, Pob1ete and
Ricarte would be in the ascendant.
The fact that every bandit, cattle
thief and outlaw ir the islands advo.
Gates independence" is certainly
significant and suggestive.
Fi1ipnos who have property, educa-
ton and sense are aware of what
would happen if independence was
obtained. And for this reason it may
be said most empathica11y that the
independence plank in the Democrat
ic platform does not meet with their
approval"

Strange Error in Sale of Seats Brings
Complications at Opera House.

Strange Error in Sale of Seats Brings
Complications at Opera House.
There were some decidedly serious
complications at the opera house
Tuesday evening, when an error in
the sale of seats caused many parties
who had gone to attend the sold
Maids Convention" to be widely sc o.
arated. Some of the ladies who had
been given the seats to dispose of
were not aware of the fact that the
odd numbers were seats on one side
of the house, and the even NUM-
bers on the other, and when the
seats were delivered numbers run
ming together were taken as adioin-
ing seats. When the people reached
the opera house the trouble began,
and many a sweetheart was forced to
sit on one side of the house, while
the young gentleman occupied seat
on the other side.
Some of the troubles were cleared
up ty judicious swapping of tickets,
but most of the parties spent the
night in separate parts of the theatre.

ton knew what he was talking about
