the probate court today. Norman B.
Ream and Robert 7. Lincoln are FAMED
as executors, his wife not being ap-
Lointed because Of his wish to relieve
her from the labors, cares and respon-
sibilities Of the position. The total
value of the estate is shown by the pc
tition for letters testamentary to be
81 100000. Of this amount $780, 900 is
personal property and 100000 realty
Attorney Runnells, who prepared the
will, said that these figures are con-
sentative but fair estimate of the value
of. the estate. The bulk of the estate
goes to the two daughters, Mrs. Frank
0. Lowden, of Chicago, and Mrs
Frank Carolan, of San Francisco, who
receive 600 each and also the
reSiduary estate, the amount of which
is now unknown except to the execu-
tors The homestead on Prairie ave-
nue., the construction of which cost
100000, with the furniture, pictures.
etc, is devised to his wife for life and
she is also to receive $50 GOO for the first
year and thereafter during her life the
income of $1,250,000. Castle Rest. on
one of the Thousand islands, is given
with the furniture for life. She is re-
quested to keep Castle Rest open from
July 26 to Aug. IA for the accommo-
dation of all the descendants of the
testator's parents and is authorized to
designate in her will who shall have
the property after her death. A sum
OF $1,000 is left in trust for its main
tenance. The sum of $2000,000 is left
In trust for the daughters until they
are thirty-five years old, when each is
to receive $500,000 to become hers abso-
lutely, the other 100000 to be still
held in trust the income going to
them. If either daughter leave issue
the sum held in trust is to become b.
solutely the property of such issue. In
case of the death of either daughter
leaving no issue, but leaving a hus
band, one-half of the property then
held in trust for such daughter is to
be absolutely the property of such hus
band, the other half becoming a part
Of the residuary estate. The eighth
