But the Tribune stated that it was all the other way when Mr. Kalver appeared, as they welcomed tho newspaper man and the photographer into their camp, thus letting Mr. Kalver secure his desired work, where all former ones had failed. The Tribune contained quite a lengthy article regarding the stunt and spoke highly of Mr. Kalver, the former Decatur man. - ■ - -o AT THE CRYSTAL.
