YEISER MAY YET BE A LORD

tarhed.
Judge Yelser or Lord Yelaer, which?
John O. Yelser Is In the peculiar position
of not knowing whether he Is a plain law
yer, candldated for a $2.no judgeship or a
rival of John D. Rockefeller In wealth and
heir apparent to a lordship and an estate
In Ireland. The estate. If there Is one, Is
that of Lord Dlllard, who died about 100
years go, leaving property declared after
the lapse of a century to be of fabulous
value. Mr. Yelser's grandfather was Rev.
Ryland T. Dlllard of Lexington. Ky who
was born In Virginia about 196 and died
in Lexington In 187S. The story of the big
estate comes from the Lexington Dlllards
and Is related aa follows In the Lexington
Herald:
Like a fairy legend of poor people coming
into Immense fortunes and becoming kings
and queens Is the story of Professor C. W.
Matthls of 769 Eighth street, and Mra. Annie
E. Gore of 1618 Wllllama street, wlP expect
to come Into the tremendous estate of Lord
Dlllard of Ireland,- from whom they claim
direct descent. Although a hundred years
have passed since the death of Lord "Dll
lard. none of his descendants have at
tempted to secure the Immense fortune,
which Is one of the largest estates In the
world. From father to son the story of the
grea estate has been handed down, and
each In his turn has dreamed of the tre
mendous wealth which should be his Own.
Professor Matthls and Mrs. Gore have made
a serious attempt to secure the wealth, and
expect to be entitled to It In a few years.
C'larenoe Brown of Elisabethtown has writ
ten the officials In Dublin, and the records
of the family will be opened and com
pared with those kept here through
many generations, for the family has
kept trace of their ancestors back to
the American Revolution, when Lord Dil
lard's son came to this country and fought
for the liberty of America from English
rule. In 1780 Lord Dlllard died, leaving a
vast estate, which comprisec 1,C00 acres of
fertile land and many homes near Dublin.
His son, William Dlllard, had come to
America in I'M and settled in Virginia. He
enlisted in the Revolutionary war under
General Israel Putnam and was killed In
the battle of Bunker Hill. His son, James
Dlllard, moved to Kentucky and was one
of the founders of Ellzabethtown. His
daughter Nancy married John Matthls and
was the mother of Prof. Matthls and Mrs.
Gore. Besides these two In Louisville, Ky.,
Mrs. Mandy Brown of Cecelia. Ky., and
Mrs. Maggie Rayne of Mlssqurl will In
herit shares of the fortune, which has been
the byword of the family for years back.
A. P. Culley of Iup City. Neb., a nephew
of Mrs. Gore, will start for Ireland In sev
eral months to determine the status of the
estate. Prof. Matthls la a graduate of
Bradenburg academy and a doctor of phil
osophy. - He Is an applicant for a Carnegie
pension for aged teachers. Mrs. Gore's
husband waa Lieutenant Dennis Gore, U.
8. A,
Similarity of family given names Is also
marked and Is further evidence of Mr.
Yelser's connection with the family,
"I am not worrying much about the
money," said Mr. Yelser, diacuaslng the
story, "but I think I will be able to es
tablish my right to put an apostrophe
after the O In my name. All the money I
get from this estate I will spend right here
in Omaha."
It is reported that other heirs are taking
steps to establish their right to a part of
the old estate.

The company Is. showing at Sioux City
this week, in connection with the Interstate
fair, now being held there. It was at
Minneapolis last week, where It made a
great, sensation. Scenes Illustrative of the
Jewish operations under Joshua against
the walled city of Jericho are enacted, and
tho whole affair winds up with a display
of fireworks, supposed to Indicate the crash
of the walls as the seventh circuit of the
city is completed by the marching hosts,
led by the priests, blowing on their rams'
horns. ...
Papa Bill Rourke Is uncertain whether
he will accompany the team to Des Moines.
While he Is Immensely Interested in the
pennant fight, ha la also Interested In
making a success of Ills flrat venture Into
the show business outside of base ball.
As manager for the display he feels that

Owing to the congestion of traffic on ?he
railroads east of St. Louis the Burlington
will not take any grain consigned to St.
Louis until further notice and has notified
shippers to this effect. No Burlington or
foreign cars will be loaded with grain to
St. Louis or East St. Louis, no Burlington
car will be loaded to these points oY be
yond and foreign cara may be loaded with
grain on tho Burlington only when destined
to polnta on connecting lines beyond St.
Louis.
Local officials of the road say the ele
vators at St. Iouts are full of grain and
the roads beyond are swamped with It.
This condition of affairs Is expected to
swell receipts at Omaha, as many who are
ready to sell their grain and would ordi
narily ship to St. Louis will now ship to
Omaha.
It Is expected that other roads will fol
low the action of the Burlington.
