LOVES FoNDEsT DREAMS
BEsET WITH DIFFICULTIES.
Pretty Romance OF a German Love AZ
fair Lasting Many Years and FL
nally Ending In Marriage.

CID GO, Nov. 3.-A romance which
had It's origin In the fancies OF a a.
ycar-old German girl IN Druisburg, Ger
many. has been brought to a happy end
ing by the marriage Of Ethel Schwann
OF this city. to Carl Redlinger. Of Rock
port, Ill.
Six years ago the young people 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 Germany to come to
this country he was In ignorance Of her
devotion, She followed him to America
five years later and since her arrival
has been living with her sister in Chi
cago.
During all these years she had heard
nothing OF Redlinger beyond the mere
Information that he had settled In IL
linols ard was engaged in farming Her
early affection was still alive and after
her arrival in America she began a
search for the companion of her girl
hood. He was eight years her senior
and the promises Of ''undyng love" had
not been spoken.
Miss SChwann's knowledge 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 inquiries were made in
vain She could learn of no Corl Red
linger, a farmer who had ever lived at
Druisburg.
Then she hit upon rather. extraor-
dlnary scheme, through which she pur-
sued her quest She wrote a letter ad-
dressing It to Carl Redllnger, Elgin, On
the outside of the envelope she wrote,
please return " not called for In ten
days"
Then she wrote another letter and ad-
dressed 1t to Carl Redlinger, Blooming
ton. with the same instructions on the
envelope.
Every day she wrote one or more Of
these letters, all addressed to Carl Red
lnger, and each addressed to 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 result 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 Red
linger. the one Ethel had learned to ad-
mire years ago in Germany, had for five
years lived on farm near Rockport,
Pike county Ethel directed one OF her
circulars to this place, copying the name
from the atlas, and one day last July
Redlinger received It. Redlinger wrote
to her and followed his letter with a
visit.
Tho 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.

then United states minister az NIcaragua,

President Zelaya assured Mr.. Baker
that no such intention existed. and that
he proposed % act In absolute good faith

United States Minister Baker thus closes
a memorandum which he prepared for
President Zelaya the day following the
interview he had with him:

FRENCH WANT PEACE.

NEW YORK. Nov. "A dispatch to
the Herald from Paris says.
France is regarding England with anx-
ious e''es. Everything indicates the war
like spirit prevailing across the channel.
All the journals record the British naval
preparations with pessimistic comments.
Nobody here desires war. In the first
place. Fashoda is not worth IT, In the
second. France is not ready. II force Is
resorted 20. it win be England that in
sists upon II.
The Temos even advocates the avoid
ance OF a struggle at any cost.

her interests and those Of civilization.
both Of which forbid an appeal to arms.
She ought to preserve her dignity by
impartlng a new character to her rela-
tions with the United Kingdom. Some
victories. either diplomatic or otherwise,
are dearly purchased. In abusing a
momentary advantage, the risk is run Of
determining the general direction OF in
ternational politics IN a sense quite Op-
posite to the interests Of the country.
which seems TO triumph"
This means presumably. that England
is in a strong position, but that If she
pushes France too hard she risks bring
ing about a European coalition against
her everywhere abroad.
In another part the same journal. COM
menting upon the news OF the day on
the Fashoda question. says:
"As the English government does not
seem to be aotuated by a conciliatory
spirit. 1t may be as well that France
examine the question Of recalin~ Mar
chand."
The Liberte attributes the re-crudes-
cence OF the warlike spirit in England
to the return OF Mr.. Chamberlain. who
may have thought that as France accepts
the principle Of the evacuation Of Fa-
shoda. a few more threats would pro-
cure further concessions from her.
This is by no means certain" argues
our contemporary. If Great Britain
seems invulnerable. there are many
points in her empire where she may be
attacked. Her name is not exactly VEN
Grated in Ireland, where a revolution
might break out the moment war was
declared, besides which II seems fairly
certain that a strong Abyssinian force
is rapidly drawing near Fashoda."

UNITED STATES WILL
BUILD THE CANAL,
A Government Omcial Says the Presi.
dent is Pledged TO Its Construction
Nicaraguan Congress WIN Assist.

NEW YORK. Nov. S-A dispatch TO
the Herald from washington, says:
Action has been taken by the adminis-
tratlon looking TO the maintenance OF the
status uuo with respect to the conces-
sion OF tho Maritime Canal Company
for the construction OF the Ncaraguan
Canal.
Secretary Hay has cabled instructions
20 Minister Merry under which through
Consul Donaldson at Managua, remon-
strances will be lodged with president
Zelaya against the concession his govern
ment has awarded to Messrs Eyre and
Cragn, representing an American syn
dlcate for the construction OF the canal
upon the eXplratinon OF the contract held
by the Maritime Company.
Information in the possession OF the au-
thoritles Is Of very meagre character,
due to the fact that all information re-
ceved from Minister Merry has been by
cable and he has been unable to send
tho text OF tho agreement entered into
with Messrs. Eyre and Cragin. Although
II has been reported that the Nicaragua
congress has ratified the ''provlslonal
NEIecIlOnl SNhHllNNtu W II Wy NAlN NNNNh-
critics, tho authorities are hopeful of
preventing final approval being given.
Results of the call Consul Donaldson
will make upon President Zelaya cannot
be forecast by the officials, but In some
circles, Il is not believed II win have @..s
important effect Tho president a-.-, M
bers of his cabinet are of the opinion
that the new syndicate has not entered
into the agreement with the Nicaraguan
government to build the canal, but to
make q deal with the Maritime Canal
Company, under which the syndicate will
receive a certain sum for its rights,
So far as the administration is con-
cerned its objection to transfer of the
concession lies In the bad effect 1t will
have upon congress, which would hest
tate to vote the government aid so neces-
sary to the construction Of the canal.
'Prlvate enterprises will never build
that great waterway" said an official
last night, "a government will have to
build It. and that government will be

tratlon is concerned. 1t Is q question OF
what company has contract, but the
president is pledged to the construction

sion the American peace commissioners

as follows:
First-That the United States should
take over the Philippines entire.
sccond-That In So doing they should
reimburse 20 Spain the sum OF her per-
manen, and pacific expenditure in the
Philippines
HAVING heard the American propos'-
tion. the Spanish might have Immediately
declined Il. as they certainly will do at
tomorrow's session. Whether they will
accomplish refusal with counter propo-
sition has not been definitely ascertained
though at a late hour this evening that
course seems improbable
The result will he that the commits
sloners will retire from confronting po-
sltlons untr one or the other shall have
reformed It's lines FOR the next meeting,
which viii probably occur next week. II
the Spanish ministers entertain hope
that. after the elections in the United
States the American commissioners will
relax their demands as to the Philippines,
they have not uttered it here for the qub-
lic ear. nor has anything been said or
done hy any member of the United states
commission to warrant such hope.

SCHOOL BOARD REGULATES
SALARIES OF TEACHERS.
Several Slight Reductions Made and Two
Immaterial Increases-other SAL
aries VIII Remain as Heretofore

The report that the salaries Of nearly
all OF the teachers In the public schools
had been materially decreased appears to
have been erroneous, for the reductions
are slight. and affect only a few OF those
engaged In the schools.
The school board held a meeting Mon
day evening. and the finances Of the dis
trict came up for discussion. The board
Is short OF money. II seems, but II was
decided not to reduce the salaries, but to

grade OF McClure's. which formerly was
So. was reduced 50. leaving the salary At
$50.
The salary OF the teacher OF room S,
Shively's. was reduced s.. The salary
formerly was S5e Teachers In similar
grades In the other schools receive a like
amount.
The salary OF the teacher OF room 4.
Shivelys was reduced from $50 to s56
The primary grade in the same school
was reduced from $3.50 to $50. The sal
aries Of teachers In the primary grades
In other schools In the eitv are $3.50
The salary OF the teacher Of the seventh
grade at the Adair school was fixed al
$5I. The salary Of the teacher OF the
third grade. McClure's, was Increased
from $i5 to S475O. An increase Of 50 cents
was made in the salary OF the teacher
Of the third grade OF shivelys.
The action Of the board affects the fol-
lowing teachers: Mrs. Carrie Rrager.
whose salary was reduced from S62 to 800:
Miss Annie Olsen. whose salary was in
creased from s5 to $3.50; Miss Mary
Garner. whose salary was reduced from
$50 to 81; Miss Mary Dealey, whose sal
ary was reduced from $50 to So; Miss
Nora Nickerson. whose salary was in
creased from $3.50 to SIS; Mrs. Jennie
