THIS WOMAN STOLE.
Mrs. N. A. Dauphin Indicted BY
New Orleans Grand Jury.
Widow Of Former President OF Louisiana
State Lottery Made Way with Cash and
Securities AgGregsting Quarter
OF . Million Dollars.

New Orleans, Sept. 12.-The grand
jury has returned verdict against
Mrs. Rosa LaBranche Dauphin, widow
Of Macmillan Dauphin, for many
years president of the Louisiana
state lottery. Dauphin died in 1891.
His estate was inventoried at $780,
600, his widow and friend being
executors. There were other heirs,
including Dauphin's mother. The
estate was settled up, the heirs were
paid their share and the widow and
legatee came into possession Of the
rest of the property. Eleven years
after the settlement among the ef-
fects of Judge Porcha, who had been
Mrs. Dauphin's lawyer in the pro-
bate case, an old badly-worn paper
was found giving list Of q largo
number Of bonds which apparently
formed part Of Dauphin's estate.
but which had not figured in the In
ventory.
Mrs. Dauphin was called on to ex-
plain. She failed to appear before
a Louisiana court but piece by piece
the trouble buried for II years was
brought to light. Dauphin had kept
his money and securities in box
in his room and was much Weather
man than many supposed. From that
box his widow, 1t is charged, had stol-
en- from the estate and secreted $214s-
600 in securities and $4,000 in cash.

state University's Opening.


The address Of Henry j. Allen, Of
Ottawa, marked the formal opening
of the fall term of the thirty-first
year of school at the University Of
Kansas. Chancellor Strong made his
first appearance among the students,
and was given the college yell as he
mounted the platform. In the course
of his address Mr.. Allen said: "The
good wishes which go out from
Mount Dread to-day are from the
hearts Of the Kansas people. They
have watched with loyal pride the
progressive labors of Chancellor
Snow for o dozen years; they will
always have an affectionate and
grateful memory of his work. They
will watch with hope and high expec-
tation the labors of the splendid man
who comes to take his place and lead
the university into new admins
trative era. He brings US a good
name. We welcome him to Kansas.
I'm told that when all the different
degrees which he has earned by his
scholarship in the universities in the
east arrived there were wagon
load of them. If in addition to this
New England education he can take
on the Kansas polish what Kansan
we will make of him."
