LINCOLN, Neb, Oct. 20-[By Tele-
graph. THE probate court today de-
cided a curiousiy romantic will case.
Thirty years ago Mary E Wallace was
engaged to marry al old schoolmate.
They quarreled and parted. The girl
after her lovers marriage to another
woman, entered a life of shame. For
twenty years she has been the keeper
of notorious house in Lincoln, under
the name of Lydia Stewart. Four years
after his marriage her old lover wife
died, and the lover dying two years
later, his only child was placed in a
home for friendIess waits in Chicago.
The facts came to the ears of Miss
Wallace. She went to Chicago, and
formally adopting the child, placed it
in the hands of friends, the girl being
afterwards educated in convent. Ali
knowledge of her foster mothers voca-
tion OR her own parentage was care
fully kept from her until she accident
ally learned of it, after she had mar
ried J. E. Klotz OF Omaha, two years
ago.
In August last Miss Wallace died,
after long illness, during the latter
part of which she made her will, giving
Mrs. Klotz $1,000. the balance of her
$50, ,0O0 estate being given to the testa-
tors sister, Mrs. Bailey of Chicago.
Mrs. Klotz began contest, and today
the court decided in her favor on the
ground that the sister had used undue
influence when the testator was men,
tally decrepit, aud that the contract of
adoption stopped her from disinherit-
ing her adopted daughter.

Not Force Bin sYmpathizer.


Not Force Bill sYmpathizer.
Senator Leland Stanford, o1California,
whose death is announced, was one of
the active spirits that exploited the
Pacific coast at the time when oppor-
tunities for gaining wealth were great
in that region.
He went to California in 1852. and had
already made some money when the
governments bounty to the Pacific
railways, in which he was intereste d.
greatly augmented his wealth. He was
pre- sident of the Central Pacific from
its completion, in 1859, till about two
years ago.
His fortune is estimated at from S25,
600, 900 TO $50, 000,0 ,000 Some $50, 000sO0O
of it he devoted to the founding OF a uni
versity at Palo Alto in memory Of his
only son, who died in 1884.
In 1885 he was elected TO the United
States Senate, and was reelected in 1880
for term which was to end in March,
1897.
The Senator was a "self-made man,
and somewhat erratic perhaps, in his
conclusions upon economic and monetary
questions. His project of land loans by
the government on a national scale indi-
Gates a benevolent purpose, unchecked
by lessons derived from the experience
| in other countries that have tried similar
schemes.
It is much to his credit that his kindly
nature had little sympathy with the
Force bill and like partisan schemes con
cocted in New England to further ruiz
/ the South.

ANARCHIST CONSPIRACY.
PLOT EMBRACES ANARCHISTS ALL
OVER EUROPE.

Officials EndeavOring TO Ascertain Names
of Those Implicated In the Bomb Ex-
pIosion at the Residence of Senior Cas-
tllo at Midnight Tuesday.
MADRID, June %. The official inves-
tigation into the bomb explosion at the
residence of Senior Canovas del Castillo at
midnight Tuesday has led to the dis
covery of plot that embraces anarch-
lists in several European countries. The
officials are still endeavoring to ascertain
the names of ali those implicated in the
affair
Twenty-three arrests have already
been made and more is expected to fol.
low shortly.
The police are still pressing Suarez, the
man who was badly injured by the eX-
plosion and who was captured before he
could make his escape, to divulge all the
details of the plot. He has already made
admissions. showing that the conspiracy
had wide ramifcations. He has also
told the police the name Of the man who
was seen with him near the residence of
Senior Cavoves del Castillo prior to the
explosion, but who disappeared just be-
fore the explosion occurred.
The third man of the party seen, ii
will be recalled, was blown to pieces.
Among the other things Suarez has told
is that he and several Of his comrades
we're the authors of the explosion that
occurred on June 10 in the Plaza
Oriental, directly in front of the
left wing of the royal palace. He says
their only object in causing this explo-
sion was to frighten the Bourgeoisie and
to remind them Of the existence of an
archism.
The letters seized show that the con.
| spiracy unearthed in this city was inter.
national in its character. These letters
cover the details of plans for the com
mission of dynamite outrages not only
in Madrid and Valencia, but in Brussels
and other foreign cities.
The supposition based upon letters
found in the clothing of the man killed
by the explosion, that the dead mar
was the well known anarchist, ErnestC
Alvarez, has proved to be incorrect
Suarez has confessed that the dead mar
was named Ruiz Once the police knew
that Alvarez was not dead, a search wa
made for him and this morning he wa
| taken into custody.
