MOTION PENDING IN THE LOWER COURT
Aellaar Mayor I,) man Isaacs Proc
lamation ' railing for the Ok
tmare of McKlaley
Memorial Day.
(From a Staff Correspondent
LINCOLN, Sept. 11. (Special.) Tae su
preme court haa hern asked to con l.-.ui
the hearing of the noted Miles will css
from the sitting of next week until the
Beit regular term. It being urged thit thla
ahould be granted because the trial court
now baa under consideration a motion for a
Bew trial, based upon the grounds cf newiy
discovered evidence.' The case Involve the
disposition of the vast estate I' ft by
Stephen B. , Miles of Kails City. ha d'ed
October 30, 1898. It Is asserted that evi
dence of the execution of a later will has
been found, and until ths motion for a new
trial la acted upon the supreme court
ahould take no action on the app al.
The pending appeal la from a decree ren
dered by the district court refusing to tet
aside the probate of a will. It presents
questions of both law and fact. In asking
for the continuance John L. Webster, at
torney for the plaintiffs, says to the ccurt:
It la my opinion that the hearing of the i
penning appeal la unnecessary, ror tne rca
ann that when she said race was tried 'he
appellants were not able to produce the
person who wrote the last will of the de
ceased nor any witnesses who could testify
to the contents of sttld will from the ac
tual seeing or reading thereof, and the
failure to i roduce enld evidence wns one of
the most potent reasons In the mind of the
aistrict judge in rendering me decree from
which the endlng appeal was taken.
Since the date the appellants discovered
the person who wrote the will and there
upon filed their petition for a new trial and
upon the hearing thereon produced a large
amount of additional testimony touching
the execution of the will and produced as a
witness Paul T. Cadaen, who was thrnun
attorncy-at-law In the city of St. Louis,
and be further tent Hied to the contents of
the said will and that It contained n clause
revoking all prior wills. The appeilents
also produced the testimony of Mrs. Wll
aon, who was the stenographer In the said
Oadsen'a office, who testified to the fact of
making a copy of said will on the type
writer and to the fact that "aid Miles and
another person called at the anld office in
one. or more occaslona to see the said Gad
sen about the aald will.' Appellants also
produced Judge Wind of Ht. Louis as a
witness, who testified to consultations of
Paul T. Oadaen with him regarding the
aald will and particularly with reference
to the revoking clause therein, which con
sultations were had about the time ht the
writing of the anld will; that the defend
ants have not produced any witnesses who
contradict ' any of the above staternenta
made by the said Oadsen, the said Wilson
and the said Wind; thst the date of the
writing of the aald will by the said Oadsen
and the execution thereof as stated bv him
la confirmed by the testimony of Miller anil
Oulnn, who testified In the main case that
they witnessed the execution of the said
will In the St. James' hotel.
In view of this evidence f am persuaded
that the district court will grant a new
trial and vacate the decree.

PEOPLE OF MARS ARE SMART
Chicaa-e Profeasor Saya They Are
Saperlor la Intelligence to In
haMtaats of Earth
CHICAGO, Sept. 11. That a people supe
rior in Intelligence to those of the earth
Inhabit the planet of Mars is a conclusion
that will be set forth by Prof. O. W. Hough,
head of the department of astronomy of the
Northwestern university, In a report which
he Is compiling of his summer's observa
tions from the Dearborn observatory- He
aaearts this la a probability based on recent
discoveries and adds thst, of course. It can
never be established positively.
The conclusion Includes tbe acceptance of
the theory of evolution and the statements
of leading astronomers that climatic con
ditions of Mars are tbe same .as of the
earth. Ths possibility of Venus and Mer
cury being inhabited Is sdmltted, because
they have solidified, and ths Intense heat
resulting from their proximity to the sun
may have been overcome by a deeper cover
ing of atmosphere. None of the other
planets, the professor said, could contain
animal life.

Orleans is Indicted.
SETTLES THE ESTATE OF HER HUSIAND
Charged with Kan ore to Aceonnt for
Valoahle Severities aad Money
Which He Kept In a
Boa In His Room.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept 11. The grand Jury
haa returned an Indictment agalnat Mrs.
Rosa La Blanche Dauphin, widow of Max
imilian Dauphin, for many years president
of the Louisiana State lottery.
The action was not made public Imme
diately, In order to enable the diatrlct at
torney to get ths necessary requisition
papera from Governor Heard and arrest Mrs.
Dauphin, who is said to be 111 In or near
New York.
Dauphin, who was president of the Louis
iana lottery company,' died In 1891. His
cstata was Inventoried at $100,000, hla widow
and a friend being executors.
There were other heirs, Including Dau
phin's mother. The estate was settled up,
the heirs were paid their share and ths
widow, and legatee came Into possession
of the rest of the property.
Eleven years after the aettlement, among
the effects of Judge Perche, who had beeh
Mrs. Dauphin's lawyer in the probate case,
an old, badly worn paper was found, giving
a list of a large number of bonds which ap
parently formed a part of the Dauphin es
tate, but which had not figured In the in
ventory. Mrs. Dauphin was called on to explain.
She failed to appear before a Louisiana
court, but piece by piece the secret burled
for )it waa brought to light. Dauphin
had kept his money and securities In a box
In his room and waa a much wealthier man
than many supposed.
From that box bis widow. It Is charged,
had stolen from the estate and secreted
$214,000 In securities and $40,000 in cash.
In order to cover up her work she sold
the bonds, invested and reinvested tbe
money In new securities so that no tracs
could be found of It. She kept no bank ac
count and frequently had $100,000 on her
person in $1,000 bills.
Judge Lazarus, counsel for the heirs, suc
ceeded In tracing every bond for more than
twelve years. The court awarded Judg
ment against Mrs. Dauphin for $388,066, tbe
entire amount, with interest. Her home
here was seized, only to find that she bad
removed everything and had fled.
