JOHN OORRANCE Wills
Two Filed for Probate Daugh-
ter and Son Benefciaries
Contest Likely

A paper purporting to be the
last will and testament of John
Dorrance was filed in the Office
of the Probate Judge Monday in
which Stella Dorrance Edmondson
was bequeathed all the real and
personal property of the deceas-
ed at the time of his death. The
debts and funeral expenses were
provided for, and the only other
legatee was the son by his Sec
ond wife, Charles Dorrance, who
was willed the sum of $500.
The will named Capt. J. G. Wal
lace, executor and was witnessed
by H. c. Miller, o. P. Ray and
T. ]. Martin and bore no date
whatever.
The other will was presented
Tuesday by the widow, Mrs. EN-
ma Dorrance who is named there
in as executrix and is witnessed by
Jos. Knoche, Peter E. Hatch and
John Marshall, all of Kansas
City where the will was drawn
and dated June %, 1905.
Mrs. Dorrance was furnished
with the necessary papers au-
thorizing her to make proof of
the will, and she left Tuesday
afternoon for Kansas City for
that purpose.
This will gives to his widow
one half of all his estate during
her life or widowhood, and the
remainder to his son Charles F.
Dorrance or to him and any other
children which might be the re-
suit of the union. In case of
the death of the widow and son
the whole of the estate is be-
queathed absolutely to the sister
lof Mrs DoErance Miss Fannie
/ Timnonds, but in case there
were no other children, then at
the death of the widow or in the
event of her marriage Charles
Dorrance, the son, was given
the whole of the property OF
every kind.
Exclusive of the 1000 acre
farm west of this city, one of the
most valuable in the county,
there is other property which
t makes the estate a rich one, anC
7 the prospects are favorable fol
} an expensive contest in case the
: will bequeathing the estate I,
Stella Dorrance Edmondsor
t is proved to be of later dat
e than the one naming the widow
: and son as legatees and exeInd
e ing the daughter.

John DOrrance Dead

John Dorrance, a familiar
figure among US for a number Of
years until a few years ago, died
at the Baptist Hospital in st.
Louis Friday morning March 13
of pneumonia after an illness of
about a week. His remains
were shipped to Wilksbarre, Pa.
Saturday where he was inferred
in the family cemetery at his
birth place.
John Dorrance was born at
Dorranceton, a village across
the river from Wilksbarre Sept.
q, 1856, one of four sons of Col.
Charles and Mrs. Dorrance of
that city. He came to this
county about 1882 and located on
the fine farm west of town which
he operated until about 5 years
ago when he rented it and spent
most of his time in travel.
He was married about 1883 to
Miss Ada Day of Brunswick and
to them was born one child, a
daughter, now Mrs. Cortez Ed
mondson who resides somewhere
in the west. This couple were
divorced about 1886 and some
provision made for the wife and
daughter. About 1888 he mar
ried Miss Emile Timmonds and
for a number of years they spent
most of their time on the big
farm and in travel. To this
union was born a son, Charles
IF. Dorrance who, with his
mother and three brothers of the
deceased, survive.
Jack, as he was familarly
called, was an Episcopalian, and
his wife a Catholic, but nc
religious differences ever arose,
he deferring to her in all such
matters.
Perhaps there was no better
known man in the county than
Jack Dorrance, all his extensive
farming and stock operations &C
4 quainting him with people in al
sections, not only in the county,
but in the state and beyond. HI
was a jovial, fine looking man
with energy to spare. The fact is
there never was another man il
!. the county like him and perhap
never will be. In many respect
he was in a class all by himsel
: and was indifferent to recruits
His widow and son are no
settled in their plans as yet, no
| having determined whether the
will reside in Kansas City, go t
the farm and i've with her sis
: ter for the summer ormove bac
) to the farm here. one Of the mos
. beautiful and valuable in tn
4 county. If young Charles az
. Quires ownership by inheritanc
4 he will become one of our bi
/, land owners and a prominen
. citizen of the county if he cor
. cludes to make his home on tn
7 farm.

Test The Corn

Everyone is handing it strong
to the farmer to be sure to test
their corn for termination this
year. So much poor seed has
been raised the last year as to
make termination tests neces-
sary. Twelve ears Of corn viii
plant an acre. This may mean
from $50 to $40 per acre output.
Each ear accounts for from So to
SIS per acre. A couple of poor
ears means big money loss, the
difference between profit and
loss. Better test the corn.

Men Are So Foolish

Yes, men are foolish some
times. To prove it, Mrs. Char
lott D. Briggs Of New York
thinks it is fierce that her hus-
band is suing her for divorce on
account of her posing fora paint
ing entitled Innocence" in
which she appears draped only
in a smile. Mrs. Briggs thinks
her husband SO absurd for OBJ
|jecting to a pi:ture which is Sc
admired in the art stores. No
doubt all the rest of the people
also will think Mr.. Briggs SO alb
surd to kick about a little thing
like that.

Two Sad Deaths.
Mrs. Charles Hardin, Jr.

In the early morning hours of last
Saturday, Mrs. Willie Ford Hardin died
at the Hardin home in Macon, of perto-
nitis following sn operation for acute
appendicitis. She bore her great suf-
fering with bravery and fortitude and
faced death with a sweet Christian re-
signation that robbed it of it's sting.
Mrs. Hardin was the daughter of the
late Mr.. Will Ford and wife, and in 1905
was married to Mr.. Chas. Hardin, Jr.
She leaves surviving her three small
children, Mildred, Charles Jr. and Par
melia, the last only a few weeks old.
Few young matrons possessed in so
large degree the love of all who came
in contact with her as did Mrs. Hardin.
A sweetness of disposition and a rare
charity of heart won the love of all who
came under their influence, and at her
death many many mourn.
