If he does he can accomplish more than the state of Indiana has been able to accomplish In 23 years. Wolford does not make speeches befcre congregations of Christians yet Metsker's name is found on the criminal dockets of the Justices of the Peace in Center township and on the Criminal docket in the circuit court of Matshall county fwice to Wolford's once Wolford docs not , claim to be a saint by any means, yet there is not a man, woman or child in Plymouth, with a dollar in their pocket that would rather'meet Metsker "on! the bridge at midnight" than Wolford We are willing to wager ten grains of corn that Metsker will be in the penitentiary crying for some of Wolford's "vater" long before John is it in jail. Mails "Bomb to Cortelyou. The explosion of what appears to have been a large percussion cap in a package addressed to Secretary ot the Treasury George B. Cortelyou, created excitement in the Nicetown substation of the Philadelphia postoffice Tuesday. "The package, which was collected from a box in the northern section of the cityt was received by Clerk Roberts, who says it was about four inches long by two wide and threefourths of an inch thick. When Roberts' brought his steel cancellation die down upon the stamp the package exploded and was trrn to pieces: Roberts was unhurt. The pieces of paper were put together and the package was found to have been addressed to Secretary Cortelyou, Washington, D. C, the address having been cut from a newspaper and pasted on the package. Chief Postal Inspector James B. Cortelyou, a brother of the secretary, ia trying tu solve the mystery sur- . rounding the explosion, though most ; of the authorises think the package was mailed a9 a joke. There was not sufficient explosive matter in it to have done injury to anyone. Whit was in the package aside from the explosive cap the officials will not say. Claims To Greatness. Dr. William A. Weiser of South Bend, "whoever dat is," who has anthe Democratic nomination for congress, is exploited inr the Truth as having "inspired" the Colliers' infamous attack on Vice President Fairbanks in writing to President Roosevelt while following "a rule eacfi year to send a letter to the president on ..May 31, following the Decoration Day address of the nation's chief executive." Wouldn't it b interesting to have the president's confirmaion of a claim that he had part in the Collier business? Another of Dr. Wcistr's claims to greatness is that he wrote a congratulatory letter to Judge Landis "and received an acknowledgement from the federal judge!" Evidently , the Democratic papers of the district which have not indorsed the Truth's recent announcement of the doctor's candidacy with ecstatic acclaim are ignorant of the potentiality ; of the man. Elkhart Review. Nonunion Keymen Strike. A walkout of twenty nonunion telegraph operators at the main office v of the Western Union Telegraph Cable, company at Chicago,, was reported at the headquarters of the Striking Commercial Telegraphers' union Thursday. ; Fryik Likes, chairman of the strike tomittce, "said he has assurrances more would be out before night.

Taylor Tries Kentucky Lure WilliamS. Taylor, who was gov

crnor of Kcntuckv a the time of the assassination oi Gov.-Elect William Goebel seven years ago, offers to return to Kentucky as a witness in the Powers' case if given certain guarantecs. ' Political feeling ran so high in Kentucky after Goebcl's murder that Taylor, who was a Republican, sought refuge in Indiana immediately after his term of office expired'. He was accused of having part in the conspiracy to murder Goebel and indicted. Successively thc Republican governors of Indiana have always refused to grant requisition warrants which the Democratic authorities made upon them for his arrest. Caleb Powers, who was1 secretary of state of Kentucky at the time, has been tried and sentenced toi be hanged for th murder of Goebel. Each time the higher courts have granted him a new trial. He is soon to be placed on trial -a fourth time. Taylor's preserice is wanted as a witness. It was to secure his attendance that the Kentucky; authorities recently offered him v immunity from arrest. Friday Taylor replied in a signed statement, which he says is the first public statement he has made since leaving his native state. He savs: "For more than seven years I have borne in silence the slanders and persecutions of those who robbed me of what heaven knows was my own, and who, to conceal that crime against liberty, and for no other reason, indicted and drove me into exile. I trust an indulgent public will permit me noiw to break that silence. "Commonwealth Attorney; Robert B. Franklin knows that I fully testi fied in the Powers case by deposition. This testimony is a part of the record of the case and is accessible to him at all times. He knows, too, that he had a right to cross examine, me at the time I gave it, and did not do so. He knows that neither he nor any other officer or combination of officers in Kentucky has the legal power to grant immunity, and that were I to return under such promise oi immunity I would at once be arrested, denied bail, and, like 'Powers, be sub--jected to nothing less than a mock trial by a partisan court, before a packed partisan jury, and with a $100,000 corruption1 fund as a power. ful. incentive to conviction. The la v is- clear that Mr. Franklin or any other officer, has no power to promise immunity. "But, inasmuch as Mr. Franklin abounds in propositions and promises, and seems enamored of the idea that he can do things, I will say this: If he will, in some way, provide an absolute guaranty not merely a promise a guaranty that will inspire confidence among sensible, level headed, honest men a guaranty, th; spirit of which may not be violated, though the letter be observed that I will be given a, fair and impartial trial, I will gladly return to Kentucky and submit to trial. "In other words, if Mr. Franklin will cause what remains of the $100,000 corruption fund to be returned to the treasury of Kenucky, no part of it to be used in these prosecutions, thus putting my case on the same footing as other criminal cases; will guarantee that all trial juries in my case shall be composed of six upright Democrats and a 1ik number of upright Republicans; will guarantee that bail will be granted me within the limits of $100,000; will dismiss the indictments against all parties used' as prosecuting witnesses except myself, leaving them free to testify without fear, coercion or restraint; and, last, but by no means least, will inf advance, by mutual agreement, select an able, upright, and impartial judge1 to trv my case, I will, without any promise of immunity, voluntarily and gladly re'.urn to Kentucky, not only to testify in the Powers case but to submit myself to trial before a jury of my native state." Lynched by Nebraska Mob. Louis Higgins, who killed W. L. Copple and his wife near Rosalie. Nebraska, was taken from Sheriff Young at Bancroft, Neb., Monday and lynched by a mob of twenty persons. Higgins1, who was a farm hand employed by Copple, had engaged in a quarrel with him and in a fit of anger shot both his employer and the lat-t'.-r's wife. He was captured soon after and taken to Omaha, where he had been held in jail. Sheriff Young broaight him to Bancroft, but the lynchers captured him before he was placed in jail, dragged him in a cart, and carried him to the outskirts of the town, "where he was hanged to a tree. The sheriff had been warned previously that an attempt might be made to lynch his prisoner on their arrival there. On Sunday Young was accosted by several men, who asked him what he would do if they should attempt to lynch Higgins. "Shoot the first man who tries it," he said. "Well, we just wanted to know, for the chances are that you will have some shooting to do," was the reply. Nappane Youth Shows that He is Real Desperadb. Harvey Holdcrman, the Nappanec youth wanted for looting a B. & O. merchandise car at Walkerton, three weeks ago has been capttred at his home in Nappanee. He returned t visit his mother. Surprised by the authorities, he climbed out of a second story window, and attempted to make his escape. Armed with a revolver and knife, he put up a desperate fight. He emptied the six chambers of the revolver at the posse, but fortunately his aim was bad. One bullet passed through an officer's hat. The youth was finally caught and lodged in jail, until the authorities of St. Joseph county could arrive from South Bend, to transport him to the county jail there.

Fleet for Pacific Sure. The Atlantic battleship ilect will tart for the Pacific next December,

according to an official .statement is sued by Secretary Loch at the direction of President Roosevelt. The statement was made following a conference between the president and representatives of the navy department. It follows: "A conference between President Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of the Navy Newberry,, Rear Admiral Brownson, chief of the bureau oi navigation, and Rear Admiral Evans, commander of the Atlantic fleet, was held to decide some of the details in connection with the tlectV goin to the Pacific. 'The fleet will consist of sixteen battleships and will start some time in December, going through the straits of Magellan and up to San Francisco, and probably will visit Puget sound. The question of the route by which it will return has not yet been decided. ' "The destroyer flotilla will leave for the Pacific about the same time as the fleet, but will not accmopanv it." The officials who attended the conference refused to tell the object of their visit on their arrival at Oyster Bay. Secretary Newberry and Rear Admiral Brownson came early and went at.; once to Sagamore hill. They would not be interviewed. Admiral Evans got in later. When he got notification to join the conference he was fifty miles off the Chesapeake Capes, on his flagship, the Connecticut, which is maneuvering with the First"' and Second division of the Atlantic fleet. "What are you here for? someone asked the admiral. "I wish toji 11 you would toll me what I am here for," he replied. The reporters tol.d the Admiral that they would see him later, to which he replied. "Not if I see you first." The reporters wefe given to un derstand that the president's visitors were to leave Oyster Bay on the C:22 train, but they learned that the navy department experts stole a march on them by going in one of the government automobiles to Syossct, seven miles from there, on the Wading river division of the Long Island railroad, where they caught a train at 5:22 o'clock, which didn't get them to Long Island City much before they could have arrived on rhe 6:10 train from Oyster bay. Business Men of Nation Show no Fear of Hard Times. Are conditions such throughout the country that hard times arc coming? The New York World has asked this question of merchants, bankers, manufacturers, capitalists, and farmers in every section of the United States, and the answers show a wide divergence of opinion.- In the financial centers of the east a contraction in business is generally conceded That it will lead to hard times is not believed. General manufacturing however, even in the east is reported to be enjoying high prosperity, the textile industry being especially fav ored. ' In the west the reports show that commerce is still going on at high pressure. Counting on fairly good crops, the fear of hard times is gen erally scouted. In the northwest prosperity is relied on to continue. The south also reports conditions looking to a continuance of good times. x . Here and there a warning is sound cd and by the few the prediction is made that hard times are coming. In nearly all sections a reasonable con servatism is urged and the remark frequently made that "the pace has been too fast Wellman Polar Trip Delayed. The Hammerfast correspondent of the London Daily Mail says Walter Wellman did not start from his- camp at Spitzbergen for the north pole in his airship on Aug, 23, as he hoped to do. The fast two tourist steamers , of the year arrived at the camp at Vir go bay on Aug. 20. They saw the balloon high in the air, confined by anchor ropes. Mr. Wellman said he was not able to start, as the breeze was wrong. He could start in a south east wind. The tourists banqueted Mr. -Wellman and his: companions Mr. Wellman said to them: "If I am lucky you will hear from me and the north' pole in a week. If I am less lucky in, a fortnight. If you do not hear from me in three weeks you will never hear from me at all. The steamers left twenty-four hours later. It was then remarked that the balloon seemed gradually bp ing inflated. They passed Virgo bay for the last time on Aug. 23 and no start had been made, although the weather was calm and bright. The passengers doubt if Wellman will or can start this year. Philippine Secret Society to be Sup pressed by Government. The Katipunan society of t'c Phil ippines, whose emblems have been ordered suppressed by the United States government, has been described as the most powerful and most ef fective secret organization of modern times. It was organized originaMy for the purpose of overlhrowing Spanish rule, and natives high nd low became members. It belongs to the same class as the Mafia, the Ku klux Klan, and the Molly MaguireS, and has ruled the native thro-.igh terrorism. During the lar years of Spanish rule the Katipunan levied tri bute on rich and poor, issuing lev enue stamps and giving receipts, and the merchant who refi.sed to contribute was ruined and humbled, if he did not lose his life. The society has opposed American occupation, and lately banners are said to have been found showing the clasped hands of a Japanese' and a Fihpino. The sign of membership in the society is a small scar burned uoon the arm.

Extensive Plans for Brazil A syndicate has been formed in

this country to develop two railroad systems in Brazil. The plans embrace the building of about 2,000 miles of connecting links, which will result in intercommunication of over six thousand miles of railways and the opening up of vast coffee growing And agricultural territories. Before all the railroad projects of the syndicate are carried out they will represent an investment of fully $50,000,000, and other undertakings which the same group of capitalists has in hand in Brazil in electric trac tion, lighting, and harbor improve ments, will, it is estimated, bring the aggregate figures almost to $U0,000,000. Among those primarily interested in the syndicate are Sir William Van Home, chairman of the board oi directors of the Canadian Pacific railway; . Percival Farquhar, vice president of the Guatemala railway company; Frederick S. Pearson, formerly chief consulting engineer of the New York street railway system; William Lanman Bull of the New York banking house of Edward Sweet & Co.; and Minor C. Keith, vice president of the United Fruit company. Thq syndicate has acquired control of the San Paulo and Rio Grinde Irailroad, which connects the state cd Sao Paulo with that of Rio Grande do Sul. The line is to be extended so as to permit of connection between Rio de Janeiro, the capital of Brazil, and Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay. Another section, six hundred miles long, will be built inland from Francisco to Iquaza Falls, thus opening up Paraguay and giving rail communication by way of the Brazilian coast. The Sao Paulo and Rio Grande line is said to represent the future railway interests of southern Brazil, in many respects the richfst and most valuable portion of that country. To Force Arbitration. , With the arrival of President Small, at New York, of the International Commercial Telegraphers' Union, definite efforts, looking toward forcing the officials of the Postal and Weitern Union companies into. some syt of arbitration conferences will be started. Samuel Gompers president of the American Federation of Labor; John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers of America, and Chas. P. Neill, United States Labor commissioner, are expected to be in New York this week when a conference will be held and the suggestion, at least, will be made that President Roosevelt be asked to intervene. In the face of the constant reiterations from the officials of the two companies that there is nothing to arbitrate the union leaders believe that diplomatic procedure will bring about a conference. Evidence of the use of mails by the companies when they are unable to send messages by wire is in the hands of the union. Two messages which were delivered by mail carriers were on display on Saturday at the headquarters of the union. Will Go to Notre Dame. i The Rev. John cavanaugh C. S. C, president of Notre Dame University, announced that Dr. James C. Monaghar of Borrkland, a suburb ot Washington has accepted the chair of economics at the university. Dr. Monaghan is now chief of the consular reports of th Bureau of Statis tics -in Washington. He. was gradu ated from Brown University in 1833. Being an admirer of Grover Cleveland, he stumped'the country for Mr. Cleveland in the campaign of 1684. He held the position of consul at Mannheim, Germany, from 1885 to 1889. Dr. Monaghan studied in Heidclburg University and then returned to the United States, where, in 18y0, he took up the study of law and newspaper work. He will arrive at South Bend to begin his duties with the opening of the school year -at Notre Dame, September 12. Army to go in Palace Cars. General Coxey, of Coxcy's army fame, is to raise a new army. Unlike his first battalion, the soldiers he will now recruit will not march across country to the capital, but will ride in Pullman cars and enjoy the best the land affords' The general doesf not make plain just where he is to get the munitions for this warfare, but says' they will be forthcoming. The object of the new crusade will be the conversion of the people to the doctrines of municipal and state ownership of public utilities, and in arguments for his campaign the recruits will be schooled. A call will be sent out at once for enlistments, which will not be confined to the hobo class. Contributions to the treasury will also be solicited. Studying American Methods. George Briggs, who has been a member of the common council of London for fourteen years, is at the Chicago Auditorium hotel with Mrs. Briggs. He is1 visiting the United States -for the purpose of studying the work of the various municipalities, with a view of adopting some of the best features that he may find in our city work. "This is a wonderful city," said Mr. Briggs, speaking of Chicago, "a town of great energy and confidence. I find a Chicago man is confident of himself and of almost everything he undertakes. The work of the city council here I have not yet been able to study, as the summer vacation is on, I am told. However, I shall visit every point of interest before leaving next week for the Pacific coast."

MORTUARY.

Mrs. Caroline Lauer. Mrs. Caroline Lauer, whose maiden name was Marks, was born in Felkeshauscn, Saxe-Wcimcr, Germany on February 15, 1S34 and died at her residence in Plymouth, Indiana, on Aug. 20., 1907, aged 73 years, G months and 11 days. Mrs. Lauer left her native town and came to America in 1853 locating in Cincinnati, Ohio with her parents, brothers and sister. At the latter city in September 1S58 she was united in marriage to Mayer Lauer, and they took up their residence in Plymouth, Indiana where they continued to live together until Mr. Lauer's death which occurred in this city May :!0, 1904. To this union was born six children, those surviving their mother being Benjamin M. Lauer of Osage City, Kansas; Leopold M. and Moses "M. Lauer of Plymouth, Indiana, and Mrs. Jacob Speyer of Lexington, Ky. Among Ihe lolder residents and early settlers' in Plymouth Mrs. Lauer was well known, to the younger generation not so well, as she was an invalid and closely confined to her home for many years. In the early days she devoted much time to charitable enterprises among Plymouth's worthy poor,, being one of the founders of The Hebrew Ladies Aid Society, an organization which dispersed aid to all without respect to creed. Although Mrs Lauer had been an invalid for more than twenty-five years, she patiently and with remarkable fortitude accepted her situation, and during all her years of suffering she remained a firm believer in the Jewish religion, and to the last followed its beautiful teachings and manifold promises to the faitViful. During the last few weeks of her life she maintained intact a wonderful intellect and her -active mind retained a clear conception of past and current events in an unusual and keen degree. , All of her surviving children were here at the time of her'demise. The funeral services will be held at the residence on South' Michigan street Thursday, August 20th, 1907, at 2:30 o'clock p. m. and will be conducted by Rabbi Feui licht, of Indianapolis, Indiana, ind interment will be at Oakhill. , y Grenades of War of 1812. While examining the contents of the ordnance storehouse at Ft. McHenry at Baltimore, Lieut. J. L. Holcombe, of the One-hundred-and-twenty-cighth Coast Artillery, . discovered several boxes of Old hand grenades which are supposed to be more than one hundred years old. The missiles are of the earliest make usid by the United States Government, and were probably placed in the historic old fort when it was first erected, in 1812. Owing to the way in which they were packed the grenhad had only the slightest , trace of rust upon them. The discovery of the weapons recalls a bit of the ancient history of the country. In explaining their use Lieutenant Holcombe said that the grenades were handled only by the grenadiers of the ship, who, walking out upon the yard arms of the oldfashioned fighting vessels, threw them into the ranks of the enemy. An explosion followed which created havoc. y They weigh about four pounds and are shaped after the fashion of the bombs used by anarchists and are iron and loaded with gunpowder. '. Several days after the discovery one of the new recruits at the fort was found trying to dry the powder in one of the missiles by roasting it on the fire. A report was made to Lieutenant Watson, in command of the post, who said that he intended to write to the authorities and ask permission to dump them in the middle of Chesapeake bay, as they were so old-fashioned that they would be of practically no use whatever in modern warfare. Wants a Wealthy Wife. The offices of Mayor Tom L. Johnson of Cleveland, Ohio, as a matchmaker are being sought by a son' of the Hoosier state. B. F. Thompson, Box 224, Vinccnncs, Ind., has written the mayor requesting that he find him a Cleveland wife one with money. Here's the letter: "Dear Mr. Johnson I am a widower, 45 years old, am sober, honest and industrious and of good' character. Am a sawmill man and the loss by floods this year put me behind.

Name Mail Car Thief. " George Bell, known throughout the country as a mail pouch robber, is being blamed by secret service men for the theft of the two registered mail pouches which were stolen from a Burlington train between Denver and Omaha Sunday morning. Bell's sensational escape from two postoffice inspectors in Philadelphia three years ago is fresh in the minds of officials. Several of the government's best detectives went to work on the case at Omaha Wednesday. The first clew was found Wednesday when it was learned that a large package supposed to have contained the stolen money was sent through the mails last Monday from a point east of Denver to a man in Chicago. Two secret service men have been at work since Monday examining every package that passed through the local postoffice. Bell is said recently to have been 6een in the West, and his wife is known to have lived in Omaha for some time. The police of Omaha know both Bell and his wife, having came in contact with them when Bell was arrested three years ago for- a mail pouch robbery in western Nebraska. Captain, Dunn, chief of detectives, says the robbery looks like Bell's former work and that all circumstances appear to connect Urn with the case. Bell, after' his arrest three years ago, was taken to Philadelphia,' and escaped through a car window. Inspector Thompson feels sure that Bell directed the Burlington robbery, and expects to apprehend him, be cause nearly every secret service man

in the country knows him. Spurn Taylor Offer. An armed military escort to protect him is the immunity which Governor Beckham and Commonwealth Attorney Robert Franklin offer to ex-Governor William S. Taylor to return to Kentucky from Indiana .o testify in the coming fourrh trial of Caleb Powers, charged with complicity in the murder of William Goebel. Following the receipt of a letter from Governor Beckham in which the executive pledges his evry aid to Franklin in his offer of immunity to arrest of Taylor to return to Kentucky, the prosecutor addressed and mailed a letter to ex-Governor Taylor in which he offers him a military escort should he desire it, in order to furnish absolute' guarantee of immunity to molestation while irr Kentucky on the mission named. v The letter to Franklin is a direct reply to the statement issued by Taylor several days ago. In concluding Franklin says: ;-. "Referring to your proposition made in the published statement of Aug. 23, hereinbefore mentioned in so far as they relate to a trial of your self, I desire to say that the commonwealth of Kentucky, so long as I continue to prosecute its pleas, will never agree that you shall name the judge, select the jury and prescribe qualifications for witnesses who may testify against you. When you are brought to trial on the indictment now pending aginst you in the Franklin Circuit court, if I be heri the prosecuting officer, the procedure shall' be 'according to the laws of Kentucky for such cases made and provided." In a letter addressed to Commonwealth Attorney Robert Franklin, Governor Beckham assures that officila of his co-operation with him in seeing that William S. Taylor is protected from arrest and, allowed to return to the State of Indiana if he will come to the Scott Circuit Court at Georgetown, Ky., to testify in the next trial of Caleb Powers, charged in the murder conspiracy cases. The Governor declares that he and the commonwealth's attorney can "absolutely insure" Taylor such immunity and a safe return to Indiana. Typhoid Due to Weeds. Because a number of cases of typhoid fever have recently developed in Anderson, a dispute has arisen as to whether the disease is? due to water from the city's plant, or from an unusual weed crop in the city. Dr. S. C. Norris, the bacterologist for the city water plant asserts that the water is in good condition and contains no germs or bacteria to an extent that would cause illness. The city health department maintains that weeds are responsible for fever and the city health officer has begun work with a two-horse mowing machine to cut down weeds on vacant lots and in, some remote alleys and streets. Taft's Versatility. Secretary Taft having delivered his key-note speech at Columbus, Ohio, and the same having been given wide publicity, he docs not repeat what he said at f the beginning of his tour. Instead, he touches upon other subjects in the speeches which he delivers at other points. For example, when he addressed a large mass meeting in Oklahoma, he discussed at length the new constitution that is soon to be voted upon by the peopl? of that applicant for admission to statehood..

Child Murdered; 5,000 Hunt Fiend. The biggest man hunt in the history of the central west is in, progress in the country around Gary. Five thousand men, fully armed, are scouring the country in search of a wretch who ill-treated then murdered Lizzie Schräder,' the 9-year-old daughter of William S. Schräder, a Gary resident. The tragedy reached its climax when the mother, seeking her child, found the bruised and bleeding little body lying in a pool of blood in a

.clump of bushes on the lonely prairie, one mile west of her home. A leash of bloodhounds, owned by F. E. Farley postmaster at Crown. Point, . Ind., under his direction, followed the trail of the murderer for a distance of twelve miles, in a north easterly direction from the scene of the crime.. , They ran in a winding way through the underbrush until they came-to a road One mile east laf the Hammond railroad yards, where the scent was lost. Monday mornin as was her custom, Lizzie left the home to bring her father his dinner. That was the last seen of her alive. Growing impatient and somewhat anxious at the child's delay, her mother started out for the pit where her husband was at work, calling for the child as he went along the path. Midway on the path she came upon her daughter's garments, and, supposing the girl had) gone into the bushes to. pick berries, she entered the tangled underbrush, still calling to her. ' v She had proceeded only a short distance when she heard moans, and, parting the bushes before her, looked upon the unconscious form of her little girl lying in a pool of blood. Seemingly aroused at ' her mother's shrieks over the awful discovery, the child opened her eyes. Just as the frantic mother reached down to take the little mutilated body in her arms the girl uttered a moan and expired at her breast. Crazed at' the terrible tragedy that had befallen her the mother dropped the body of her child and ran shrieking to tKe place where her husband was at work. Hearing her cries Schräder called to his companions, and they rushed to Ihe place where the girl lay. Ticking the child up, he carried her to their home and notified the police, Dr. George W. Hoskins, the county coroner, sent to Crownpoint, the county seat, for the sheriff and the bloodhounds, standing guard over the body of the child for two hours until he citizens and the dogs arrived. Grube Family Reunion. The Indiana Grubes- great and small, held their annual reunion at the farm of Henry Grube, which is the old Grube homestead, 3 1-2 miUs southwest of this city, Thursday, i Members of the .family had been arriving for several days, until there were about 230 seated at dinner in the orchard, "in the shade of the old apple trees." One of the the main features oi tht day was a ball game between the Grube Giants and Twin Lake white stockings, which was called at the end of the 7th inning because of the lateness of the hour and resulted in a. victory for the Grubes score 8 to 8. Clinton and Bert Grube twirled for the Grubes The game was followed by a liter-, ary and musical program. Remarks were made by John Behmer, George Miller, H. S. Grube and others. A few weeks ago a discovery was made by Clinton Grube, residing in this city, which may add a large list to his family. He is employed as mail clerk between Pittsburg and Chicago. While sorting some mail in Pennsylvania, he chanced to notice a letter addressed to a Grube. He jotted down the address and, wrote to that party. It developed that there ias to be a Grube reunion at a homestead near Punxsutawney, Pa., which was held and attended by 252 persons. Upon investigation , it was found that both branches of Grubes were supposed to have come from Buck's county, Pa. Among the- out of town guests were Mr. and Mrs1. Geo.

Shells Spread Death. Two sharp engagements b: vjn the French and the Moors' took place Monday afternon. About six miles from General Drude's camp a reconnoitering party of Spahis came in touch with the enemy, who opened a heavy fire on the cavalrymen. The latter replied with effect, but retreated, under instructions, with the object of attracting the attention of the French commander to the Moors ad-' vance. Re-inforcements with artillery were promptly forwarded to the scene of the. fighting and the Moorish force was driven back into the hills. No loss on the French side was reported. - The Moors began to form for another attack when- about three miles away, but a few well-directed shells quickly dispersed them. The Arabs suffered heavily from the shell fire during the fighting. ""As a result of r tne reconnoisanccs made by General Drude, the Arabs have entirely drawn olf, and normal conditions in Casablanca arc being resumed. A dispatch from Tangier says a large body of native -cavalrymen has been seen bearing down on Casablanca from the direction of Morocco City. t The French newspapers are energetically discussing the recent interview between the French ambassador to Germany, Jules Cambon, and Prince Buelow, the imperial chancellor at Norderney, which is now deemed to have been of the greatest im-v portance. Extensive speculations are made regarding the scope of the interview and its probable effect on tbe opinion that there was something more specific behind the meeting than an exchange of amicable" sentiments, as alleged in the official statement on the subject, and it is intimated that an understanding was reached on the subject of Morocco. The Journal avers that in spite of diplomatic notes the "skeleton of AL geciras. rattles in every joint tinder the irrestible pressure of - circumstances." The consensus of opinion appears to be; that Germany propably ha agreed not to oppose France being given a freer hand in Morocco should the situation warrant.it. Dispatches received here from Madrid say that the Spanish cabinet has taken action on the subject of Morocca, but add that the' step taken is of such a "delicate character" as to render it impossible to publish details. ,

Errors in Newspapers. The club women of Davenport, Iowa, are wise in their day and generition. Instead of essaying bridge or discussing the end of the vogue of the long sleeve they summoned a great question which they ably debated and then adopted the following resolutions:1 "Don't go to the managing editor and ask that a legitimate news story be kept out. It would be as unreasonable and just as indelicate to go to the banker and ask him to give you money, or to. the lawyer and ask him to give up one of his cases. A newspaper is a business enterprise. When you ask it to keep out news you ask it to injure its own business." Don't say, "I can't understand why. the papers make so many mistakes." If you had ever been in the business you would say instead, I think one of the miracles of the age is that newspapers cm do the amount of work under that amount of pressure and make so few mistakes," Newspaper men generally will open a cozy corner in their hearts for the women of Davenport. They are not only lovely butt sweet and gracious. U. P. Motor Car Sets Record Between Omaha 'and Denver.
