ADOPTED CHILD
/ SHARES BIG ESTATE
IMPORTANT DECISION BY JUDGE
ZIMMERMAN.
ROBERT SANDON'S WILL
Minor Child Adopted Subsequent to
Execution of Testament Gets $780,
600 Under Ruling of County Court
Reversing the Testator's lnten-
tion-Establishe Precedent.
Madison, Jan. q.

Madison, Jan. q.
A child adopted subsequent TO the
making of will in which that child
is not mentioned is entitled to par
take of the estate of her foster pa
rents in the same manner as though
the testator had died intestate, ac-
cordIng to a decision by Judge Zim-
norman of the Dane county court
handed down yesterday morning in
the estate of Robert Sandon, deceas-
ed. This decision and the peculiar
effect il has in this case is an evil
dence of the odd twists and turns OF
the law and rs operation upon the
intentions of testa'1r. In this case
an adopted minor c lid will receive
at once an estate valued approximate
ly at $4,000 while the natural chill
dren of the testator receive practic-
ally nothing except that which the
widow may see fit TO give or devise
to them,-a directly opposite effect to
that desired by the testator.
The estate is estimated worth
about 100000 or more and is admin
istered by the widow, Ellen Sandon
of this city, as executrix, and is rep
resented by Attorney George S. Mar
tin. Attorney Frank b. Wynne was
appointed guardian ad litem and rails
ed the objection to the distribution
which has resulted in obtaining for
the minor adopted child so large q
portion of her foster parents estate.
Judge Zimmerman's opinion is at
some length and states the facts up
on which it is based as well as the
law in other states upon the
same point. The question has never
been presented to the supreme court
of Wisconsin and so far as could be
ascertained never has been passed up
on by trial court. The opinion is as
follows:
Robert Sandon made his viii May
14th, 1894. He legally adopted, as
his daughter, Ella V. Sandon, May
2Srd, 1894, and died April II, 1902.
The viii makes provision for his two

WORKERS BLOWN TO BITS
Member of Rescue Party Says There
Is Apparently No One to Rescue
Fragments Of Clothing Found, 5ut
Few Bodies-Many Can Never BE
Discovered.

Pittsburg, Jan. 27.-Efforts to recov'
er the bodies killed in Mondays mine
disaster were all day continued under
the most trying conditions. The res
cuing party suffered great hardships
and at times the rescuers themselves
were in danger of losing their lives.
None of the bodies were brought up
yesterday, and probably will not be be-
fore this morning. The situation in
the mine is thus described by one OF
the rescuing party:
There is apparently no one TO res
cue. We had a hard time to find many
of the dead. A shred of clothing here
and another there, a jacket, a pair OF
overalls, but few bodies. AS we left
the bottom of the shaft there were IL
bodies lying there ready to be brought
up. There are many others there and
the bodies of many will never be
found"
The last hope for the lives of any
of the 1S4 men entOmbed in the mine
was given up yesterday when George
w. Scheetz, manager of the mine, ad.
mitted that he believed that not one
of them would be brought up alive.

since starting for home he stopped at
the Japanese capital and had an inter
view with the mikado. At that time,
said Governor Taft, the ruler of the
Japanese people expressed himself as
firmly of the belief that war with Rus
STA was inevitable. The mikado was
exerting himself to restrain the popu-
lar demand for hostilities and was de-
termined not to cease negotiations
with the government of the czar until
no other course was possible. At Chi
cago Governor Taft was received by
General Fred b. Grant and others and

to the union station and took a train
at once for Washington, where he will
arrive this afternoon.

Japan Keeps Negotiations Secret.

Toxic, Jan. 27.-The Japanese gov
eminent has automatically intimaIed
to Baron de Rosen, the Russian minis
ter, that an early response is desired
to Japan's recent note to Russia 1t
is calculated here that the Japanese
note reached the Russian cabinet the
afternoon of January 16 and it is felt
that sufficient time has elapsed for it's
consideration and the preparation OF
the response. Japan is conscious OF
the possible necessities of the military
and naval situation, and is unwilling
TO permit evasiOns and delays design
ed to gain time. The future course of
Japan is carefully guarded secret
The length of time which Japan is pre-
pared to await the pleasure of Russia
is unknown. 1t seems probable that il
has been determined to act decisively
within a few days. The popular temper
has long opposed the furtheI delay.
While many objected to Japan's TAX
ing the initiative, the majority would
not welcome the issuance of a brieT
ultimatum and the declaration of war
if that should prove Ineffective Some
outside opinion here inclines to the be
lief that the activity of Japan will be
limited TO the seizure of COrea, which
enterprise it is thought Russia would
not oppose. Japan has proceeded with
absolute secrecy and the people are
even not informed of the exact nature
of the demand made on Russia

people, it having been reported that
the houses of wealthy natives there

report that the Americans are acting

at Seoul is entirely without foundation.

In every country of the civilized world
Sisters of Charity are known. Not only
do they minister to the spiritual and
intellectual needs of the charges COM
mitted to their care, but they also
minister to their bodily needs
With so many children to take care of
and to protectfrom climate and disease,
these wise and prudent Sisters have
found Peruna a neverfailing safeguard.
DR.. Hartman receives many letters
from Catholic Sisters from all over the
United States. A recommend recently
received from . Catholic institution in
Detroit, Mich. reads as follows:

Dear Sir-'7hey young girl who used
the Peruna was suffering from karyngi-
tbs, and loss Of voice. The result OF
the treatment was most satisfactory.
She found great reAef, and after

Girdlins Of Grapevines.

The girdling or ringing of grapevines
is done to increase the size of each clus-
ter. 1t is not practiced exclusively,
however, although some find the method
profitable. The bark is entirely re-
moved below the fruit cluster about q
month before the period of ripening,
which hastens ripening about a week
or two in advance, and enlarges the
bunch and berries. The sap ascends
through the pores of the wood to sus-
tain growth, but the elaborated sap de-
sends through the wood and the bark,
and can go no lower than the point at
which the girdle is made, where it stops
and is utilized in feeding the grapes.
Some injury is done the vine below the
girdle, and it may not pay to eirdle on
an extensive scale.

An Ever-Bearing Strawberry.

One of the hybridizing experts of the
department of agriculture is working
upon the production of an ever-bearing
strawberry, that is, one which will bear
during the growing season. 1t is be-
lieved that it will be possible to pro-
duce a strawberry which will bear a
continuous crop of six or possibly eight
weeks duration, though, of course, the
production will not be as heavy as at any
time as is the case in the present variety.
Such a strawberry would be OF great
value for the home garden. Even now,
by planting four or five varieties rang
ing from very early to very late, it is
possible for the gardener to almost
double the length of the strawberry sea-
son over that of the old-time gardener OF
Is years ago.

MORE BIRD EXPERIENCE.
Spare the SOnEsters That You May
Eat Of Your Fruit and Have
Music with the Meal.

It was a kind-hearted farmer in the
Michigan fruit belt who turned the noz-
zle of the insect spraying hose away
from plum tree in which robin with
an appealing eye had its nest. The hus-
bandman used the hose on all his other
plum trees, but when he came to pick
his crop, 10, the robin tree yielded four
fold that of the others. The kindly
farmer saw great light, and now says
it would be we'll if every plum tree bore
a robins nest. So, .
The cold scientist will tell the farmer
that the robins did not eat largely of the
pests which preyed on his plums, for
the robin CLEANS mostly from the
ground, but the scientist will add that
the sparing of the tree from the poison
spray made 1T the dining-table of hun
dreds of birds, which like insects, but
do not wish them served with poison
sauce. One songster is worth two
sprayers as q destroyer of noxious in
sects. Learn of the Michigan man and
be wise, all We tillers of the soil.
1t has been put down by some one
that doubtless the first bird that Adam
saw was pecking at cherry, and that
the first bird Eve saw was some fam
ing scarlet tanager flashing across a
sunlit meadow. Adam said: 'The bird
Is a thief" Eve said: "The bird is a
beauty" and from that day to this the
hand of man and the head of woman
have been against the bird. The bird
loves bug dinner and fruit dessert.
His destroying of the destroyer"
makes the fruit possible. Give him a
little Of your plenty and grudge not.
Spare the birds that you may eat Of
your fruit and have music with the
meal.-Chicago Post.
