STORY TO THE EFFECT THAT
O. J. KELLOGG is CHESTER
BRANDED As A FAKE

Fairfield April 30.-The story sent
out from Green Bay, Wis. yesterday
to the effect that Grin J. Kellogg, form
| erly of this city, is none other than
the famous writer George Randolph
| Chester, creator Of Get Rich Quick
Wallingford,' is discredited here. The
yarn from the northern city was to the
effect that Kellogg married Wisconsin s
Indian princess, Laura Minnie Corne-
Illus and that the pair are now in Fair
field spending their honeymoon. In
vestigation here reveals the fact that
Kellogg is not here and that his
mother, who lives here, has heard
from him only recently from town up
north. Mrs. Kellogg says he is mar
ried, but she refuses to divulge the
name of the girl he wed. The Green
Pay story follows:
Wisconsin's Indian princess. Laura
Minnie Cornelius, is the wife of
George Randolph Chester, author Of
Get Rich Quick Wallingford," and
other stories. The pair is now on 3
honey moon in Fairfield, Iowa. They
will make their home in Oneida, Wis.
The identity Of the bridegroom in
the marriage which took place at
Stevenspoint over week ago became
known only today when the brother
and sister of the bride came from the
reservation to this city and stated that
Grin ]. Kellogg, under which name the
groom went, was none other than the
we'll known author.
Chester only recently was divorced.
Two Yeas ago the Indian bride
toured America and Europe dancing
and speaking The proceeds went to
aid the red man. She gained recogni-
ton from kings AMI has medal from
the English court. On her return she
stopped in the east. where she met
Chester. Friendship grew to courtship
and marriage.
The young woman is known as The
RED Mans Joan Of Arc" and was
recently in Chicago, where she was
received at the hotel La Sale by club
women.
She there stated what she thought
of the white mans treatment OF the
indian and what she thought of her
paleface friends in general. She is a |
graduate Of Grafton Hall, Fon du Lac
and Wellesley college.

BULK OF ESTATE.
TO AST0R'S SON
WIDOW SIGNED AWAY DOVER
RIGHTS AND WILL ONLY
b, RECEIVE 100000.

New York, April 30.-Public Interest
in the will Of the late Col. John Jacot
Astor was increased with the arrival
of his body at Halifax. Speculation
has been rife since his death as tc
what the terms Of his will are and
what his young bride, Madeline Force
Astor, will get.
In spite OF many rumors, these four
facts are learned from a reliable
source:
First, the Aston estate which has
been reported to be from $125000, 600
to $3.50, 100000. amounts to no more
than sS0,00o,000, perhaps only $75,oo0,-
900.
Second, Colonel Astor made no will
which is known Of in this country
since his second marriage.
Third, whatever will he did leave.
and the terms Of that are known to
only one person. Lewis Cass Lanyard,
will not make any appreciable differ
cnce in the financial standing Of any
of the persons concerned.
Fourth, that Mrs. John Jacob Aston
the widow of the colonel signed away
her dover rights and will receive only
5000, 900.
The outstanding fact in the question
of the Astor Inheritance is this:
Eighty per cent Of the Aston estate is
left as it was left to John Jacob Astor
by his father, William Astor, and goes
to Vincent Astor.
Remaining 20 Per Cent.
The remaining 20 per cent goes to
the other children. At present there
is only one other child, Muriel, ten
years old Should there be issue from
the second wife, this child will share
the 20 per cent with Muriel. If the is
sue is a girl each will have 10 per
cent; If the issue is boy, Muriel will
receive less and the boy more.
With the terms Of this bequeathal
John Jacob Aston had nothing to do.
They were made by his father, Will
liam, and have been on file in the sur
rogate's office for more than forty
years. but have never before been
published.
When William Astor died the estate
amounted to approximately 100000, 900
At the present time it amounts to not
more than $s0,000,000. and is probably
about $75,0O0,0O0.
The funeral Of Col. John Jacob
Astor will be held in Rhlnebeck, N. Y,
at the church which he built. The serv-
Ices will be private. No date will be
fixed until after the arrival Of the
body in New York.

KINDERGARTEN WORK
OPENS IN DES MONIES

Des Moines. April 3O.--Miss Mabe
MacKinney, supervisor of kindergar
ten work in the Pratt institute ano
supervisor Of the free kindergarten Of
Brooklyn, president of the 1nterna
tional kindergarten union, heads the
list of visiting delegates and Officers
to the nineteenth annual meeting OF
the union, which convenes here today
and lasts until May 3.
at is extremely fortunate In many
respects that the present meeting or
the union is being held in Des
Moines," said Miss MacKinney. From
personal reasons I am glad Of it, but
from business reasons it is time the
western cities got share of the honor
for the work they are doing. Des
Moines was the second city in the
United States to adopt the klndergar-
ten work in the public schools. St.
Louis was first.
"Des Moines is also the farthest
west the meeting has ever been held,
and it is, time the people of the east
began to recognize the fact that there
is something west of the Alleganies."
Miss MacKinney expressed herself
as more than pleased with Des
Moines. 1T is a boosting city, she
said, land has led us to expect much
from it. We are not disappointed.
While l was born in Iowa l have only
been in Des Moines once before and
that was when I was very little girl
and I remember we were entertained
at the home of the late Mrs. Cogges-
hall. Of course that was many years
ago. added Miss MacKinney with
blush.
Miss MacKinney is the daughter of
the late James B. MacKinney Of De-
corah, who was a member Of the state
legislature when the capital of the
state was located at Iowa City.
