THE WILL OF s. B. ARMOUR.
All of His Property, Except S25,0O0 for a ChiIdren's Home, Goes to His Widow
 and K. E. Armour.

Kansas City. Mo, April 5.-The will of the late s. B. Armour was filed in probate court to-day. MT. Armour remem bcred the Children's home, 1115 Charlotte street, which Mrs Armour was instrumental in founding. The home received $25,0 in cash. Mrs. Armour gets all the real estate, notes, cash in bank and stocks in various corporations, except that of the Armour Packing company, and the homestead at 1916 Broadway with all its contents. The entire re- mainder of his estate MT. Armour be- oueaths to his nephew, Kirkland E. Armour. This includes his share in the Armour Packing company, as he takes pains to designate the stocks and shares Mrs. Armour is to have, and her list does not include the packing plant stock. It is impossible to form close estimate of the value of Mir. Armour's estate and this will not be definitely known until an inventory of his hold ipos is taken. Various estimates of MT. Armour's wealth have been made, but the most conservative is that it is worth not less than si,oo0, 900.
