Clay Centre Times: The wages of sec
ton men on the L. P have been raised
from s1.2O to 1925 per day, and the only
mention we have seen of the raise is a

Prince Rudolph, their apparent to the
throne of Austria, has been stricken
down in the prime of life, and is gathered
to his fathers. Just what caused his death
is not certainly known outside of a small
circle. Some say it was stroke of apo
plexy: some his dissolute habits had
poisoned his blood; others affirm that
acute rheumatism claimed him as a vic
tim; and still others believe that his
career was brought to an end by the hand
of an outraged husband whose family
had been broken up by the princes pen
chant for pretty women. Let this be as it
may, Rudolph's death is only another
instance of the hand of fate " ing heavily
on the royal families of Europe. They
have married and intermarried, and lived
profgate lives regardless of the laws of
nature of man. And as they nave sown so
are they reaping. Unless some plebeian
red blood is soon allowed to Strengthen
their aristocratic blue mixture. European
royalty will be exterminated by its own
excesses. And it win take NO inconsider-
quantity Of rich red blood to prevent
his catastrophe.
