WOMAN WANTS ESTATE.

English Claimant of Cavanaugh For
tune Takes Steps to Secure 1t.
Newspaper reports reaching England
have resulted in the appearance of a
claimant for the Cavanaugh estate in
Manitowoe, which is in the Supreme
Court on the question of validity of a
provision in the will bequeathing $10,-
900 to the Catholic Church for saying
of masses for Cavanaugh and his fam
lily. The CLAIMANT, a woman at Burn
ley, England, claims to be sister of
the late James Cavanaugh, a wealthy
Maple Grove man, who died several
years ago, and contest over whose es-
tate has been pending in the courts
ever since Attorney George Ogden
of Burnley addresses an inquiry to. the
local court, filing claim to the estate
for his client. The Cavanaugh case has
become famous in Wisconsin courts
because of the question involved-the
right of a man to leave his estate for
masses without specifying any partic-
ular church congregation, which Cav
anaugh failed to do. The lower courts
have held the will invalid.

Kenosha has been stung, touched to
the quick, and she has lavished her
hospitality on a clever forger. On a
recent night a man calling himself
Luke G. Wright arrived in Kenosha
and announced himself as a national
bank examiner and an alderman from
the Thirteenth Ward i'm Fort Wayne,
Ind. He saw the city in an automo-
bile, visited the great factories and
sat at the right hand of Mayor NJ. j..
Scholey He told the president of the
First National Bank that he had come
to examine the bank, but he didn't,
for late at night the officials of the
bank received a telegram from Law
renee o. Murray stating that the man
was an impostor and forger. By this
time he had left Kenosha and board
bill at the leading hotel in the city.
Federal officers are now securing the
country for Wright, who is supposed
to be one of the cleverest workers of
the kind in the country, and the comp
troller of the currency has asked that
he be given the fullest description of
the man.

Kate F. Bremner, infants mis-

Great Britain sent to the United States
by Alfred Mosley couple of years ago.
She was in Omaha. among other cities,

Omaha Bee says.
"Rumors of the open-hearted kind
ness and hospitality of the American

fore 1 crossed the Atlantic. Rumor in
this case fell far short of reality. The
courtesy and consideration which met
me wherever l went, in Canada or in
America, made my visit an experience
OF such pleasure and profit as is Joy
and inspiration even In remembrance"
OF her observations in this section,
which speaks Of as "out West" the
Scotch teacher says:
Il found many most capable WON
an principals and came to the conclu-
sion that pioneer life. where men and
women were comrades and colleagues,
had engendered a certain type of colo
NAL woman of broad outlook, large
heartedness and sound judgment, ready
to fill any position Of power with ca
pacity for rule which is not so gener-
ally characteristic of the women at
home, because here, until compare
lively lately. she never had an oppor-
tunity to map out her own career and
take her chance alongside of her more
fortunate brother. What she will be-
come in a generation or two at the
present rate Of Acknowledgement re-
mains to be seen"
The grand climate of the West also
made distinct hit with Miss Brem-
ner. fof she grows eloquent over It in
several places. at one point writing.
The effect of the climate is felt In
the irrepressible optimism of the
American people, who carry to their
work the enthusiasm and strenuous
ness with which we also feel endowed
when rejoicing in the gs3ry of day
OF sunshine and clear air.

So ended a game of bluff played with

The Appleton Oleo Club is the name
of a prospective organization, provid-

bred families can be enlisted. The pri-
mary purpose is to destroy the market
for dairy and creamery butter, and
thus force the prices of those commod-
tiles to point within reach of the av-
erage pocketbook. Every member must
agree to use cleo instead of butter UNI
til such time as the price of butter
drops to 23 cents or less a pound.
Creamery butter at present is selling
at 3S cents per pound, and this despite
the fact that Appleton is the county
seat of one of Wisconsin's leading
dairy counties.
