dover right in the estate left by her
husband. This dover right would
give her the household furniture to the
amount of $3.50, other personal proper.
ty to the amount of $500, ard one
third interest ia the gross estate. As
there u no real estate the net share of
the WILSON,, should the will be disre-
garded would be about $50, 700.
However it is stated by people who
are Ia a position to know that Mrs.
Cooper will accept under the will and
allow the wishes of her husband to be
carried out.
The terms Of the paragraph of the
wall, d'sposing of the residue of the
estate, are little misleading to parties
not acquainted with the rules in re-
gard to the acceptance of requests by
the two institutions. A former trus
tee OF Lawrence University and a man
well versed in the business methods of
the Missionary Society Of the Metho-
dist church this morning gave to a
representative of this paper state
ment in regard to this rule. He said
both the University and the Mission
airy Society arc in the habit of receiv-
ing large requests in this manner.
The rule referred to was we'll known to
Mr.. Cooper at the time the will was
made, and it makes splendid invest
ment Of mis- money for the benefit of
his wife and child. The institutions
will not receive cent of principal or
interest from the gifts until after the
widow ard daughter are dead. The
money will be invested at the highest
possible rate and all of the interest
will be paid to the wife and daughter.
] should think that this would give
each of them an income of from $1,000
to $z5ON annually. The money will be
absolutely safe as neither of the insti-
tutions has ever lost any money by
bad investments. AT the death of Mrs.
Cooper and Mrs. Beachel the money
will Of course, become the property of
the two institutions and will be added
to their perpetual endowment funds"
Mrs. Cooper has filed no notice of
her action and she will have a full
year IN which to give such notice to
the court.

LAST OF PARTY DEAD
Rev. Charles Laverne Roberts the
Last Of the Cooper Party at the IrO.
quois Expires after Long Fight.
LAST HOPE OF EVIDENCE REMOVED

The Rev. Charles LaVerne Roberts,
Pastor of the Hamlin Avenue Metho.
dist Church in Chicago and member
of the ill-fated Cooper party at the Iro-
quois FIRE, died at the West Side Hos
pital in Chicago Saturday night after
a fifteen days fight for life. With his
death the last scrap of evidence in re-
gard to the death Of Willis w. and
Charles F. Cooper of this city has been
removed. The Rev. Mr.. Roberts had
been the guest of Willis Cooper at the
theatre and it had been hoped that he
gases of the theatre and the effect of
these gases, complicated with mental
worry attending the tragedy made il
impossible for the minister to recover.
The minister had been unconscious
much of the time since lis injury but
at one time he regained consciousness
sufficiently to be visited by commit
tee of the members of his church At
this time he was not able to give any
account of the FIRE as he was so weak
that the little time that he had was
given up to making arrangements for
his family in case he should not SUR
vive his injuries.
Rev. Mr.. Roberts, the Rev. George
S. Studley of Ashbury M. E. Church,
Willis W. Cooper and Charles F. Coop
er had composed the Cooper party. The
party had met at the Western Metho-
dist Book Concern in Chicago and had
accepted the invitation of Mr.. Cooper
to be his guests at the theatre dur
ing the afternoon. All of the members
of the party are now dead. Three Of
them are supposed to have met instant
death.
The funeral of the late minister will
be held on Tuesday afternoon from
the church which he had served as pas
tor and number of people will go
down from this city to attend.

I. SELINE INJURED.
Well Known Kenosha Man Critically il
Not Fatally Hurt in an Accident
at Trevor Saturday
ICE SLIDE FELL AND CRUSHED HIM

Nels Seine, we'll known resident
OF Division street, was critically if not
fatally INJURED ia an accident in the
ice fields of Camp lake on Saturday
and it is feared that he will not re-
cover.
Seine had gone out to Trevor at the
time of the opening of the ice harvest
and had been employed by the Ceiling
Bros, as superintendent of the work
of cutting and filing the big ice house
on the shores of the lake. The liar-
vest was all but completed when the
accident occurred. Seine had started
to work on an ice slide and the slide,
weakened by use during the entire
season, was not sufficiently strong to
bear his weight added to the weight of
the ice. The slide collapsed and Seine
was thrown many feet to the ground
below The broken timbers of the
slide pinned the injured man to the
ground and it was some time before
the weight of broken ice and lumber
could be removed from his PROSTATE
form.
: AS soon as possible the workmen in
the neighborhood removed the debris
from the in jured man and they found
that he had been terribly crushed by
the fallen timbers and ice. He wasre-
moved to residence nearby and doc
tors were hurriedly summoned to the
scene. Later it was found necessary
to remove him to the village of Trevor
in order to secure better care for him.
Seine is reported as still alive but
his condition is said to be very critical.
He has a wife ard several children IN
this city and as 500 as they heard of
the accident the wife hurried to Trevor
and is now caring for her in jured hus-
band. Seine was mem Der of the Ke-
nosha camp of Modern Woodmen and
the local camp, with the aid of the
camp at Trevor, is doing all in its
power to make the man comfortable.
He was later brought to Kenosha.

once holders, and the claim of Henry
w. Bohle for damages was laid on the
table. It is thought that a similar ac-
ton will be taken in regard to the case
OF Norman L. Baker. These two
claims are the only ones of that nature
now before the Council.
Dog Catcher to Get Busy.
The old qrestion of the dog catcher
and the enforcement of the dog license
ordinance came up again, and the dog
catcher was ordered to get busy and
keep busy. The Council objects to
this official working in spurts, and in
sists that all unlicensed dogs be done
away with, and that their owners be
arrested and fined.
The police were also ordered to keep
more strict account in regard to the
electric street lamps which do not
burn, and the city will make an effort
to further reduce the bills paid to the
kenosha Gas and Electric company.
Three new FIRE alarm boxes were or
dered added to system They Ns:u be
located at the corner Of Durkee avenue
and Ohio street; on Ashland avenue
near Jerome creek; and at the corner
OF Grover and Strong streets.
After the usual routine business the
Council adjourned.

MAY REPEAL LAW.
G.. A. r. Objects to the Special Tax for
| the SoIdiers' Relief.

G. A. r. Objects to the Special Tax for
the Soldiers Relief.
When the annual department. en-
campment of the G. A. r. meets at
Madison next June it is proba ole that
the department will take action favor
able to the repeal of the recent law
relating to the special tax for soldiers
relief and the substitution of the law
of 1898. The present law has proved
so Objectionable that, it is said, its
repeal is likely to become a campaign
issue, whether the encampment takes
any formal action or not.
The former law provided that I'll
county boards must levy special tax
for soldiers relief of one-tenth of a
mill on taxable property, for the pur.
pose of creating fund for the relief
of Union soldiers, sailors and marines
and their INDECENT widows and or.
phans. This law was satisfactory.
Late in the last session, April %, a
bill was introduced by the assembly
committee on treasury and taxes to
amend 1t.
Then 1t was found that the amended
law left it optional with the county
boards whether the special tax should
be levied or not.

Stockholders In Poultry Show Association
Pay a Dollar Each for Show.
The .Kenosha County Poultry Show
closed Saturday evening in blaze of
glory and the crowd which attended
the show on the last evening was one
of the largest of the week. The &C.
counts of the association were balanc-
ed Sunday and the deficit which has
been made up by thel stockholders of
the association amounted to about $28.
The show this year was as near as
possible financial success, as the as
ISOLATION managed to secure money
enough to pay up all the debts of the
association to this small margin.
Plans for the show to oe given next
year have already been made and the
arrangements will be completed with
in the next few weeks to employ
judges. The exhibitors at the show
reaped many benefits aud they are
very willing to put up little money
to secure the continuation of the ex
hibitions in future years.

SEEK KINGsBURY HERE.

Police Asked to Search for Man Wanted in
Waukegan on Charge of Larceny.
The police of Kenosha are making
an effort to secure the reward of $500
offered for the arrest of Charles r.
who is wanted in Wauke-
gan on charge of larceny. Kings
bury has been missing from Waukegan
since Dec. % of last year and recently
the officers there have found reason to
suspect that the man is hiding in Ke-
nosha. Kingsbury was formerly a
trusted employee Of the wire mills in
Waukegan and he is accused of con-
verting 10 his own uses large sums of
money with which he had been intrust
ed. Thus far the officers have not
been able to find any trace of Kings
bury here but the search will be con-
tinued with new vigor now that the
large reward has been offered.

Order From Head OF the Church Causes
a Big Stir in Catholic Churches
Of The City.
WOMEN SINGERS DONE AWAY WITH
St. James Church Takes Steps to Change
the Choir and it is Supposed That ST.
George VIII Follow This Lead

By al order of the Pope sent out on
last Saturday the choirs in the Roman
Catholic churches of Kenosha will
have to be reorganized and the voices
Of women singers which have mingled
with the men in songs of praise and
adulation will be done away with. The
order from Rome is mandatory one
and demands that in the future women
take no part in the choirs OF Roman
churches In place of the women the
order states that their places in the
choir shall be filled with boys who are
able TO carry the soprano and alto
parts. Both ST. James, St. George
and the Polish church in kenosha
now have ladies singing IN the choirs.
AT ST. George church there are nearly
a hundred women in the mixed choir
while at St, James church there are
twenty and smaller number are to
be found at the Polish church. None
of the women are paid singers and for
years they have freely given their
lime to assisting with the music OF the
sanctuary. These people have heard
with regret that the order has been
sert out from Rome. AS it will be
effective ia all the churches of this
country it is hardly probable that the
churches in Kenosha will make an
effort to continue with the present
choirs. Over at ST. George the order
has met with decided opposition and
one of the leading Smusicians of the
church this morning stated that this
opposition would become more formid-
able before any change was made.
The music at ST. George church has
been famous andnunder the direction
of Prof. Flasch the ladies in the choir
have become very proficient. At St.
James church plans have been made to
comply with the order as soon as pos
sible and yesterday steps we're taken
leading toward the esta blishment Of a
boys choir. Many of the younger men
of the congregation have consented TO
sing in this choir anc before the end
of next month the women will be ask
ed to step down and out. There are
many splendid singers among the
boys of St. George church but the
singers whoihave been in the choir for
many years are a little opposed to Civ
ing up their places to new people.
No reason is given for the issuing of
the order but Ethe members of the
church in Kenosha seem to think that
the fact that women choirs have caus-
ed trouble in many churches is the
cause for the change as demanded
from Rome.

WANT FACTORY SITES

S. 81. Kennedy of Waukegan Comes to Ke-
nosha Seeking Factory Sites
S. H. Kennedy, Waukegan factory
promoter, was in Kenosha today seek
ing to secure options on land near the
city suitable for use as locations for
small manufacturing concerns. He is
advertising for acre tracts suitable
and available for the location of fac
tories employing from one to three
hundred men.
MIR. Kennedy has not seen fit to
make an expose of his hand or to give
out any information in regard to what
he promises to do but it is supposed
that he is employed as an agent by a
number of concerns in Chicago and he
is anxious to locate some of them In
Kenosha. It is possible that a proper
Investigation of his offer might result
in several factories being located here.

"A T BACK SASS"

Under the heading, "A Little Back

pru,riate had the word back" been
left OUT the Denver Daily Mining Rec
ord replies To the editorial of The NEWS
anent the Goldfield Mining and Adams
Goldfeld companies. 1t shows that
the company in its "insipid" list is not
the "Goldneld Mining Company of Ne
vada," hut is a company which oper-
ated at Guldtield, Colorado, over seven
rs apo, bearing the same name with
the exception of the last two words,
which people seldom add in speaking OF
the local company. The fact that the
Record should designate more clearly
what company is meant when placed in
its "much misunderstood "insipid'
list, j. patent upon its face. The Rec
ord's editorial on the subject winds VI
with the following:

The editor Of The News has done
many dollars worth of work for the
Record for which he never asked nor
received a cent. and largely as a result
of which the Record now has its col
umns crowded with advertisements of
Goldfeld companies. However when
the request to do more is accompanied
by labeled "sass," he will surely re-
fuse to do so.

THERE is a story going the rounds of
the State press, saying that the Chinese
and japanese residents have been order
cred out Of Goldfield, the last to publish
it being the Tonopah Bonanza. As
there never were any Chinese or Japan
ese in Goldfield, it is utterly impossible
for them to have been ordered out. In
Leadviite, ever since the founding of
that camp, there has been an under
standing that Chinese and Japanese
would be a detriment to the best inter
ests of the place, and they were not en-
couraged to come and locate. 1t is so in
Goldfield, and Chinese and japanese
have studiously given it a wide berth.
