Prince Bismarck said: All! We have

That is Lucca's story. 1t might be
added that she took four of the photo
graphs, but later they mysteriously
disappeared from her house. She said
nothing about it for some years, but
later mentioned it to a journalist
friend, who had something printed
about it. A few days after the APP
pearance of the newspaper Pauline
Lucca received mail package from
Varzin, small place near Berlin, con-
tanning one Of the missing pictures. 1t
is from this picture that the accom-
panyiRg sketch was male. Lucca
now claims that no letter accompanied
the returned picture, but some years
ago she exhibited to chosen friend a
letter long and affectionate, the sig
nature to which was twisted almost
into illegibllity, bnt was still like that
of Bismarcks Bismarck was living
at yaszin at the time the picture was
returned.
Here is the story Bismarck's friend
tells about the taking Of the photo

FIRE AT BENTON.
Benton Milling Companys Large Mill
Destroyed. Other Buildings on Fire,
Providental Intervention OF Rains.

Last Saturday night, about 8
o'clock the alarm of fire was heard
when it was discovered that the Ben
ton Milling Company's Mills were on
fire. The confagatlon was great and
this structure was speedily reduced to
ashes. A shower of burning embers
from the burning building was falling
all over Town and but for the rain,
not a vestige of the beautiful town
would have been left. Seeley and
Penington's store was twice on fire.
Sheriff McHenry's stable was on fire,
also several other buildings. The
heat broke many window lights in
adjacent buildings. The excitement
was intense. On Sunday morning.
after the excitement and fright sub
sided, the good people of town could
doubley appreciate their beautiful and
comfortable homes. Some had al
ready moved valuables to places of
safety while others were making pre-
parations for removals. The rain was
providential Intervention in the sal.
vation of the town. All was hurry
and hustle, and from appearance the
bucket brigade did an effective work.
The loss is calamity not only TO the
proprietors and town, but to the COM
munity at large.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
but the common accepted theory how
ever is, that it was caused by a not
box. The loss was $4,000, with
$4,000 insurance.

BICYCLE ACCIDENT.

Mr.. A. w. Jones, of the firm of
Jones and Walter of this place, and
George Wetter of Catawissa had a
collision on their bicycles near the
river bridge at Catawissa last Thurs.
day afternoon. AS result Mr.. Yetter
was considerably hurt and Jones had
good shaking up, both wheels were
wrecks. AS we are informed it oc-
cured as follows:
Mr.. Jones was going toward Cata
wissa on his wheel and had descended
the hill from the canal bridge toward
the river bridge and as he rounded
the left hand turn going up the hill
into the river bridge, Mr.. Yetter came
out of the bridge on the same side
and came down the hill at rapid
gate, Jones turned to the right toward
the middle of the road and Yetter
turned in the same direction, to the
left. Mr.. Jones kept on to the right,
thinking Yetter would turn to the left,
but for some reason he did not and
the two wheelmen Collided in the
middle of the road. The collision
sent both sprawling, but Jones was
little hurt, he merely sustaining a few
bruises. Yetter was not however, SO
fortunate, as Mr.. Jones found when
he picked himself up that Yetter was
lying in the road, where he had fallen,
unconscious. Mr.. Jones tried to get
the injured man up, and while thus
engaged, two boys who had been fish
ing in the canal nearby came up and
together they worked with vetter, but
he did not become conscious the
boys then secured a wagon which was
passing near the scene, and with the
assistance of the driver of the wagon,
the boys took the injured man to his
home in Catawissa Mr.. Jones, whose
wheel was badly broken, walked
home.
In an article one Of the town papers
in commenting upon the accident
say, that after the collision, the party
wko collided with Yetter gathered up
his wheel and started for home paying
no attention to Yetter. 1t will be
noticed by reading the above that
such was not the case, but Mr.. Jones
staid until he was placed on the
wagon and sent home. Not only
this, but he went to Catawissa the
next day to see how he was getting
along, surely this does not manifest
the spirit the article above referred
to, would have its readers believe
actuated Mr. Jones. 1t was an acci-
dent pure and simple, and no one
regrets it more, than he does.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.

Last Saturday morning, DR., ]. r.
Evans had bearing before Guy
Jacoby, Esq. charged with cruelty to
animals. The information upon
which the warrant was issued was
furnished by Dennison Brink, who
has charge Cf the horses of john B.
Hunt. A large number of witnesses
were examined and their testimony
was in substance as follows:
Dennison Brink was exercising one
of the said horses, and in doing this
led it through the alley adjoining the
residence Of Mr.. Evans. 1t appears
that in the said alley and near Third
Street there is grass patch, at which
place Mr.. Brink stopped and watched
the men who were at work on Jeffer-
son Street, on the opposite eide O
Third Street, and whilst thus engaged
it is alleged the horse got .on the
grass and commenced eating. The
doctor appeared about this time ant
commanded Brink to take the horse
away, which he refused to do, claim
ing that the alley was public high
way, and did not belong to him
They got into an argument over the
matter, and the defendant seizing
shingling hath struck the horse on tn,
neck and rump. After hearing thu
evidence Me Justice bound him owe
to Court in the sum of $500.

FIENDISH PLOT.
An Attempt Is Made to Blow Mp a
Church At Tunkhann0ck.

During gospel services at the Bard,
we'll Evangelical Church at Tunkhan-
mock Wednesday night of last week
an attempt was made to blow up the
church and congregation with dyna-
mite. There was a crash, the Lis ghts
went out, the windows shook, the
plaster came down on the preacher,
pulpit and congregation, the women
screamed and tainted. When order
was restored it was found that an
attempt had been made to wreck the
church by the use of dynamite placed
under one corner of the edifice.
The motive is ascribed to the bitter
warfare growing out of the transfer of
the church property from the Dubsite
to the Bowman -Esher people.

CAPTAIN GUILFOYLES BUTTON.

It Is Encouraging to know that the boom towns
Of the seething Northwest have not outlived the
tender conditions under which so small a thing
as a suspender button ha power to disturb their
equilibrium. We had hoped that Lincoln. at
least the capital OF Nebraska and city OF vast
possibilities and still larger expectations, would
bv this time have acquired metropolitan repose
But here Is Lincoln agiated from centre to cir
conference, burning with fever OF excitement
rent into hostile camps and exhibiting the melan
choly spectacle OF a hopelessly divided aristoc-
racy Not since that memorable day when a
pioneer from the frugal End far-seeing East
bought the site OF Lincoln from an Indian for a
saddle blanket and bot lie Of "benzine" whis-
KEY, and subsequently shot the indian to forestal
dispute has the atmosphere OF that neighborhood
been so charged with woe and menace. And all
this about a miserable button belonging to Cap
tain GuiIfoyle's second best trousers.

THE PROVISIONAL ESTIMATES.

There has been no ''monkeylng' with the city
estimates this year The provisional budget has
been made up Just a. if 10 election was pending.
and the figures are given to tho public without
hesitation The total is larger than the amount
allowed last year by several millions; but the
members Of the Board of Estimate give the
people Of the city credit for common-Sense and
sound Judgment No will undertake 10 say
that n single item in the budget was made small
or than ii ought 10 be. with the intention OF in
creasny II after the election. That was the
Tammany method Of creating a reputation for
economy. We do not believe il ever deceived
any one. The people got onto it" a long time
ago: but Tammany officials persisted in II as
long as they were in power. and no doubt
chuckcd quietly at the very slick way in which
they were pulling wool over The taxpayers eyes.
But the taxpayers were not imposed on by
such diaphanouS device: It was not because
they were deceived IN this way that the Tam
many regime lasted so long. 1t required reyo-
ntiou TO shake of The clutch Of the Tiger. but
tbe people were well aware all along what
vile and obnoxious thing 1t was.
The provisional budget shows a total Of nearly
s.3 600 0OO-more than SJOOOO00 in excess Of
Tho budget as finally completed last year More
than half Of the excess is due 10 the increase in
the State taxes, far which, Of course, the Board
Of Estimate is not TO be held responsible. i
large increase has been made In the allowance
for Charities and Correction owing to the press
ing necessity for erecting some new buildings
for the care Of the city's wards. There IL no
extravaganza in this. provided decision is final
~ reached TO make the outlay. No other depart;
ment has received any large advance upon ts
present appropriation; the largest actual Increase
IL in the Street Cleaning Department, the larg
est proportionale Increase in the Building De-
partmeni. II must be remembered that all
these estimates are provisional All are subject
TO revision. The final work on the budget VIII
be done in December. When 1t is begun the
Board of Estimate will proceed in the same
spirit that has animated II thus far 1t lrls and

HONEST GOIERNUE

The issue here and every where else Is at bot
tom The same between honest government, and
government by shams and cheats. Local cam
naipnprs say that not n single speaker Of them
all has Il more royal welcome. impresscs an audi
cnrp more or wins moro votes than President
Roosevelt because he stands for Straghf0r-
ward and impartial enforcement of The law.
That I. what Americans like. There are some
fermans II IS said. who would rather pay black
mail every month for the privilege Of breaking
law. They want law which. rs they say. can
not be enforced at ALL and then want the pleas
urc of hiring some official scOundrcl u hclp
them break H. But that Is not the American
way. People educated TO be their own rulers
want every law on the statute books enforced
without fear or favor. and have an intense
liking for the man who shows the nerve and the
honesty TO carry cut their will. Locally this Is
q fact Of larger significance than many imagine
At first blush the National issue seems differ
cnt and YET it Is the same. Tho party now In
power pledged itself 10 abolish protection and
grant no flvOrs To n1nopollcS and trusts II
sold itself 10 the monop0ilcS and trusts. and
tried to bcfoo the voters with tariff which
gave certain corrupt rings many millions from
the public Treasury and AZ the same time favored
gone Industries greatly at the expense Of others.
II was not honest protection. nor WAS II taxa
ton for revenue 70 honest men on both sides
this Democratic tariff was an Infamous cheat
and fraud. and they rightly denounced It in the
strongest possible language Yet the Demo
cratic party nov goes before The country with
the claim that this shameless bib Of Sale must
be maintained without change. The very men
who denounced ii in the strongest terms. when
