A GOOD MANY OPINIONS.
People Think Differently With Re-
gard to Mr.. Tfedeman's Position.

&HFu 10 mr. I1edeman's Position.
Politically speaking the position of Mr.. L
B. Tiedeman has been the most widely dis
cussed subject in a local way since the
wrangle in the executive committee. and
the split which resulted in the primary
and the mass meeting.
The question appears to be whether a
democrat can consistently take the posi-
ton that he will vote for Mckinley be-
cause the platform Of his own party is
directly contrary to his own views and
opinions. There appears to be a great va
riety of expression on the subject Mem
bers of the club which nominated Mr.
T1edeman as candidate for the legisla-
ture appear to be strongest in the opinion
that the position he has taken is incon-
sistent with that of a democrat All but
a few members of the Citizens Club saw
unhesitatingly that they indorse the Chi
cagO platform and VIII most ass uTedly vote
the ticket nominated by the democratic
convention This is why they say that
one of their candidates cannot consistent-
~ do otherwise.
There are many others, however. who
are as free in their expression that Mr.
Tiedeman's democracy should not he
questioned and many of them are mem
bers of the same club, though the ma
Jorty of those who hold this oAnion are
among the Independent voters. Neverthe-
less, they are men who. like Mr. Tiedo-
man, have been democrats all their lives
Mr. Tiedeman, they say, unhesftatinglv
refused to indorse a principle to which he
could not, with his opinion and views
give his assent. There are many othara
they say, who have done the same thing
and yet their democracy cannot be uues-
toned simply because they are not Doli-
ticians, and refuse to give their indorse-
ment 10 principle in which they do not
believe Subsequent events, however
must determine in what light these ques,
lions will be view

Insurance Men Say They Have Moth
ing to Do With the Rice Mill Ruins
An insurance man, who was largely in
terested in the loss on the rice stored in
the Planters rice mill at the time of the
recent fire, said yesterday that the state
ment that the insurance companies will
pay for the removal of the debris from the
mill out Of the salvage that might be oh
tanned there, is an error.
The insurance men will do nothing of
the kind" he said. I'VE have nothing 10
do with the debris from burned rice anv
more than the debris from broken
Drlcks. The insurance was settled on the
basis of total loss, and consequently we
are entitled to whatever salvage we can
obtain from that source. With the re-
moval OF whatever debris may be left We
nave nothing to do whatever. The Same
question was raised when the lower rice
mill was burned over a year ago. The
owners contended that as we received tho
salvage we should remove the debris from
the burned rice. We refused to do so
The matter was taken to the courts and
we won our case. We shall certainly adj
here TO this precedent"

CHAPTER XIII.
DEATH AND LOVE.

In May the first six months of the
new management Of the store were COM
pleted, and George Marston advised a
balancing of accounts He and Alec and
'Lisbeth worked steadily at the account
books for three days, aud then the result
was known. The profits exceeded by
$500 those Of any previous six months
III the history of the store. There was a
great jubilation of quiet sort among
the three managers. though Alec receiv-
ed the most of the congratulations.
But one success is only stepping
stone to another. 1t was good begin
ming, but what next?
As the summer was approaching the
old plan for summer boarders was re-
vived. and Alec suggested spending the
$500 they had gained in getting the old
hall into bedrooms furnished for the
boarders. The plan was well talked owe,
and at last decided on. and Alec was tc
be sent to New York to buy the furni.
ture aud arrange for the necessary ad.
vertising.
1t was tscitly understood that in the
following autumn 'Lisbeth and George
would be married. If Alec remained
and took charge of the store Tor Mrs.
Higgins. 'Lisbeth would go to live 4,
the house of the Marstons. 1t seemed t
be taken for granted that he would STAY
and when George spoke of the matter hs
always assumed that he should have
'Lisbeth with him very soon, though @,
course his and her share in the contro
Of affairs at the store would continue a.
long as there was any need.
1t was with a thrill that Alec heart
