ILLINOIS SUPPLIES ROMANCE
GERMAN GIRLS PERSISTENCE
ENDS IN MATRIMoNY.
Followed Her Lover to America and
Located Him by Liberal Use of
Postal Facilities.

Chicago, Nov. ga romance which
had its origin in the fancies of a IA
year-old girl in Druisburg, Germany.
has been brought to a happy ending by
the marriage of Ethel Schwann of this
city to Carl Redlinger of ROckport, Ills.
Six years ago the young couple lived
in the town of Druisburg. He was
some years older than she, and he
scarcely noticed her, but she adored
him. When he left his home in Ger
many to come to America he was in
ignorance of her devotion. She fol-
lowed him to America five years later,
and since her arrival has been living
with her sister in Chicago. During all
these years she had heard nothing of
Redlinger beyond the mere information
that he had settled in Illinois, and was
engaged in farming. Her early affec-
tion was still alive, and after her ar
rival in America she began a search
for the companion of her childhood. He
was eight years her senior, and the
promises of ''undying love had not
been spoken. Miss Schwann's knowl-
edge of the American states was very
meager when she left home, and she
found her search beset with great
difficulties. For six months all her in

learn of no Carl RedHRgeT, a farmer,
who had ever lived at Druisburg. Then
She hit upon g rather extraordinary
tscheme, through which she pursued her
quest. She wrote a letter, az lressing
| it to Carl Redlinger, Elgin. On the
outside of the envelope she wrote:
Please return if not called for in ten
days" Then she wrote another letter
and addressed it to Carl Redlinger,
Bloomington, with the same instruc-
tions on the envelope. Every day she
wrote one or more of these letters, all
addressed to Carl RedlingeTs and each
directed to a different town. She sent
| these letters to- almost every town in
Illinois where there is a. postal station.
All but eight or ten were returned to
her, but while the uncalled-for letters
were pouring back, the longed-for re-
suit finally came. One of the random
shots sent out over the state had
reached the mark for which they were
/ intended, and the young woman's quest
was ended. Carl Redlinger, the one
Ethel had learned to admire years age
! in Germany, had for five years lived or
! a farm near Rockport, Pike county
Ethel directed one of her letters to this
place, copying the name from the at
| las, and one day last July Redlinger
received it. Redlinger wrote to heI
! and followed his letter with a visit. The
wedding that took place at the
| Schwann residence tells the rest of the
story. and the young couple left today
for their farm at Rockport.

London, Nov. 3.-The Paris cores
pondent OF the Times says: I under
stand that at tomorrow's (Friday's)
sitting, the Spanish commissioners will
reply textually as follows:
-'It is impossible for us either to ac-
cept or refuse the conditions the United
States impose. We do not desire to de-
clare a formal rupture, because it
would oblige Europe to run the risk of
beholding the humiliating spectacle Of
an American fleet bombarding Europe
an shores.
1--WE do not intend to furnish Amer
lea with a preteXt for the realiZat ton
of such an act; but we cannot sub
scribe to dictates which are not in con-
formity with the stipulations adopted
in the common agreement that }erm-
mated he war.
I'VE withdraw because we do not feel
we have a right to sign the abdication
sought to be imposed upon US. We
withdraw, leaving public conscience
and history to judge the act of violence
of which we are the object; and, al
though we are unfortunately convinced
that our attitude will have no effort
upon the minds Of our conquerors. we
cannot assume any other, because, by
accepting the conditions imposed, We
should become aecomplices in an in
justice and violation of international
law, to which we may submit, but in
which it is impossible to ask US TO take
any share of responsibility.
The Times, commenting editorially
upon the item of its Paris correspond
ent, says: The American demands
may possibly be hard, but we cannot
endorse the staement that they are in
violation of the protocol. Nor is it al
together to be regretted, even from the
Spanish view point. that Spain should
be relieved of the heavy burden of re-
storing Spanish dominion in the Phil
ippines'

with the murder of George Engelke and
Peter Edmiston The crime is alleged
to have taken place on the desert in
southern Nevada, in April of last
year. Hancock was arrested on the
strength of a confession made by Mrs.
William Myers. Engelke was a veteri-
nary surgeon, well known in southern
California, and Edmiston was a Can
adian and contractor by occupation.
Mrs Myers story OF the crime is
thrilling narrative. She left Perry in
company with Hancock bound for Salt
Lake. Her 7-year-old son accompanied
them They had team of horses and
when one gave out at Daggett,
Hancock stole another there to take it's
place At Shrump. Nye county, New,

partner, Edmiston, who were going to

beyond question authentic, that before
the Philippine question is settled the
Spanish commissioners will declare that
to gain all the money possible from
the United States. Senior Montero Rios,
president of the Spanish commission,
and his colleagues, waving for argu-
ment any classification of the Spanish
or colonial debts, will point out that
Spain has borrowed on the collateral
of her colonial revenue. They will con-
cede that the national guarantee may
have been added, but that, for all the
purposes of this contention, the fact is
irrelevant.
1t will then be frankly urged by her
commissioners that Spain has pawned
the revenues of the Philippines and of
Cuba; that she did so in good faith to
her creditors, and this being true, that
she has no moral right to give away
or re-hypothecate territory already
pledged.
Senor Rios will urge that should
Spain, take that course her creditors
might fairly charge her with defraud-
ing them, to save for herself the Caro-
lines, Canaries and Belearic islands,
and to avoid possible damage to the
peninsula. The Spanish commissioners
will protest that such a transaction
would be intolerable to Spain, as it
would brand her as a. robber and pol
troon. They will declare to the Ameri-
cans that rather than be so pilloried
by their creditors they will, if they
must, be deprived of their remaining

Will Rid the City of Burglars and
HighWaYmen.

Spokane, Wash. Nov. "a special
meeting of the mayor, commissioners
and chief of police was held today to
take action regarding the growth of
crime. The city has become infested
with burglars and highwaymen, and
hold-ups and robberies have become of
nightly occurrence. As a result of the
meeting. the mayor issued proclama-
tion Offering a reward of $500 for the
arrest and conviction of any of the men
who have been engaged in the recent
hold-ups. 1t was also decided to swear
in as special policemen any reputable
citizens who may desire to carry arms
for their own protection.

SPAIN DEsPAIRs.
Abandoned to Her Fate and Futile to
Appeal to Europe.

Madrid, Nov. 9.-The announcement
of the intentions of the United States
regarding the Philippines has greatly
excited the populace here. 1t is gen.
orally recognized, however that it
would be absolutely futile to appeal to
Europe, which has abandoned Spain to
her fate. The newspapers protest vig-
oroUsly against the incredible cyni-
cism and abuse of strength of the
Americans"

America seem determined to sanction
by cowardice and selfishness a crime
that will be blot upon the history of

mainland.
If the United States feels it high
duty to retain the Philippines, Spain's
enyoys will declare that she has an
equally sacred duty in holding them to
the pledge of their revenues in honor
able Indebtedness; and that while pos
sibly unable to make good the indebt-
edness in dollars, Spain can, if only by
n fruitless adherence to high purposes,
save her name from the brand of theft.
This statement of the Spanish con-
tentfon comes from a source which
gives it all the weight possible to any
Spanish utterance, and in the presence
of these conditions, the two commis-
sions will meet again tomorrow.

RETURNED TO MADRID.
The Spanish Peace Commissioners Re-
ceived without Demonstration Bitter
Reproaches from the Press.

Madrid, Dec. 19.-Senor Montero
Rios and the other members of the
Spanish peace commission, reached
Madrid late Saturday evening. They
were met by Senor Gamazo, leader of
the dissenting liberals, and by many
other politicians and high officials.
Their arrival was not attended with
any special incident.
Last evening the queen regent re-
ceived Senior Montero Rios in audi
enee.
The newspapers assert that Satur-
days council of ministers agreed that
the cabinet should not appear again
before parliament. and it is believed
that Senior Sagasta will submit the
resignation of the cabinet to the queen
regent after the council to-day.
El Liberal. in very outspoken ar
ticle, declares that both the liberal
and conservative parties must disap-
pear, "as they represent the annihila-
ton of the Spanish prestige abroad,
the failure of the country's finances
and the loss of the colonial empire"

last that of woman known as Mamie
Adair, and living in Greenville. The
grand juries failed toindict in the cases
of Sibley and Farley, but the killing OF
the woman was generally considered a
cruel murder, and the grand jury now

was thought a true bill for murder
would be found. Huntley evidently
realized the situation and made his
