NOVEL WILLMAY BE IN VAIN Effort of .Rick Farmer to Evade Con testa la Threatened with Defeat. The efforts of William Hopper, the wealthy Elkhorn farmer, to ao devise his property that hia will could not be con tested after death may be In vain. Some of the heirs, it is asserted, have employed an attorney to look Into the will with a view ttforutng, M provisions. General John CV Cowln. who 'has been employed, said Friday he had been examining the will but Could not aay until later whether any contest would be filed or not. General Cowln is said to represent several of the heirs. Mr. Hopper left hia property to his nine children. Mrs. I-omlla McLean, a daugh ter, Is said to be one "of the dissatisfied heirs. She will not under the provisions of the will receive any of the property In fee. The will provided for a trust of 15,000 and sixty-five acrea of land, the Income of whteh is to go to her during her life and at her death the property Is to descend to her children. Bryan B. Hopptr, a son, was left nothing by the will except what he owned the estate for debts paid by his father during the latter's lifetime. The will provided these should be cancelled. Daniel G. Hopper was given sixty-six acrea of land, with a provision he should pay Mrs. McLean in trust $5,000. The other six children were given deeds to property owned by the old gentleman, the deeds being signed by him before his death and transmitted to the executors In a aealed package. Mr. Hopper provided in hia will if any of the children refused to accept the terms of the testament and tried to break it they should lose all their Interest In the prop trty to the heirs who did not contest and should receive only 1100 in money. The estate is estimated to be worth l-W.OOO. WHAT THE MARKET AFFORDS Fruits that Will Supply the Demand t'ntll tha Local Crop Matures. Pears are to be more plentiful than they have been, two carloads from Colorado the first shipped from there this season having arrived Friday morning. They are selling wholesale for VI a box of from twelve to fifteen doien. Colorado peachea will come In the early part of next week and will sell wholesule for about $1 a box. The California crop of plums and prunea Is about exhausted, which has advanced the price of that fruit, but Idaho, Utah and Colorado will begin shipping aoon. Peaches will last until late In September. Grape will begin coming in next week, but they will be more scarce than usual. The hall did heavy damage to the local crop which will little more than supply the local demand. Muskat grapes from Cali fornia are In and sell wholesule for $1.50 a crate of four basketa. Tokay grapes will be In the middle of September. Cantaloupea are not altogether satisfac tory Just now aa the home crop ia Inferior to the shipped melon, which earns earlier In the season. Rocky Ford melons are atlll going east and the dealers say It will be the last of August before they begin coming to the local market. The cool weather haa decreased the demand for watermelons, which are selling cheaper, good melons being sold for centa retail. Homegrown tomatoea are especially good now and are selling wholesale for 76 cents a market basket. Women who have been looking out for little pickles to put up are going to be dis appointed. There have been very few and no more are expected. Pickles for dill are also scarce.

Aug. 20. - Tlarry Culver, Omalia. Neb.: NutifU-Htion committee will arrive in Omaha by automubile 6 tonight, Henshaw hotel. Arab Patrol. This teli gram was received by "Captain'" Harry Culver at his office In the Paxton block Just before 6 o'clock Thursday even ing. It was a mystery to him. He did not know whether lie liuu been nominated on the lithlu na'.cr ticket or appointed sultan of Swat. But it was evident that a notification committee was coming to vlalt him to break the news to him eoout something. It was to be a genuine surprise, no make believe notifUatlon like Mr. Taft received and he rather leared a pumpkin show such as Mr. Hran had. Whatever H was the tommittee was going to convey to hiiti was unknown to him und had not been discussed in the newspapers for several weeks. H t! "Captain" Culver was on. With Sherlock Holmes Instinct he realized that th co.nmltte which was to visit him was very likely a aiiiad of I'nlted States in ternal revenue officers after him for sell ing lithia water without green stamps. The captain decided to duck. He wouid not he surrounded by federal officials If lie knew it, "Arab Patrol" wus Just a niBe to catch him napplntr'. or else there had been a horrible mistake. So the captain ducked. Out at the Happy Hollow club he kept out of sight and with Mrs. Culver t'J"k a long walk through the woods, something ho had not done for years. It was Just 7:3'J when two hie automo biles pulled up at the Henshaw hotel. Both chug-wagons seemed weary. The party registered from Lincoln, tin following "noble" writing their nanus across the big book in unsteady hands: C. C. juit;glc. W. C. Shlnn. Dr. S. 8. Shean. Alhtrt lavis. W. H. Hawes. Jack Matthews. William Dunster. Kred Kunk and Victor Seymour. But the patrol could not find Captain Culver. They explained that they were the notification committee from Sesnstri Tem ple, Noble of the Mystic Shrine, and as Culver hacl been elected cuptuln of the patrol for another year, even though he moved to Omaha, they hud come all the way from Lincoln to break the news to him nith a stick of dynamite. The search for Culver availed nothing and the patrol waited over until morning and the notification was pulled off a 10 o'clock Friday morning in the captain' office. The blinds were drawn bnd "All Nebraaka" had no opportunity to "honor" Culver the captain. L want ada ar buslnc booster. JIM DRUMS CROWD FOR FOE Mayor Issue Proclamation Calllaa n I'ro;Ie to tttruil Lecture of Mr. Armor. Mayor Dahlman has Issued a proclama tion urging the people of Omaha to attend the prohibition licture. of Mrs. Mary Harris "Armor of Geornia at the Auditorium Sun day n'ght. This Is the woman with whom the mayor debated the prohibition question at the Bellevue Chautauqua. The mayor will not himself attend this meeting, lie leaves tills evening on his campaign tour and Sunday when Mrs. Armor will be talk ing on temperance In Omaha to the cheers of the m mbers of the Women' Christian Temperance union Mayor Dahlman will be tulklrg ort ntl-prohlLitlon In Waiioo to the music playod by a big braa band which has been promised him for the oc casion. Here is the proclamation: OMAHA. Aug. CI, 18. To the People ol Omaha: Mrs. Mary Armor of Georgia will deliver a lecture on How Georgia Went I'iv" Sunday evening, A'JKUMt -i. at the Auditorium. This leituie no doubt will be very Inter esting, aa Mrs. Armor is recognized ad over the nation as an eloquent and forceful s-hW r. Tlmse questions are being dis cussed at the present time all over the country, and I nope that as many people aa can post-lbly do so will go and hear tills lecture. I believe In hearing both s.des of ail questions. Kverybodv go. You will hear an Interest ing speaker. JAMKS C. DAHLMAN. Mayor. When arrangements were made for the address by Mrs. Amor in the Auditorium her manager, Klmer E. Thomas, w-nt to the mayor and asked for permission to post signs on sidewalk board advertising the coming event. But he was surprised at the magnanimity shown by the executive, who met the temperance lecturer on tha plat form at the Bellevue Chautauqua. Mr. Dahlman told Mr. Thomas that "there is nothing too good for Mrs. Armor and she can have all the permission she want." However, Mr. Pahlman will not ba pres ent to hear the second address by Mr. Armor. Irish Humor Alive. People sometimes complain that the sense of humor is dying out In Ireland. W are therefore epeclally glad to record a pro .f to the contrary. An Irish tenant who had Just bought under the purchase act boasted to the agent that his landlord was now "Ood Almighty," and that lit need fPar nothing. "Don't you be too sure, Pat." wa the reply. "Remember God Almighty evicted hi first . two tenants.'
