TOPEKA GIRL A BARONESS.
Husband of Mabel CanniR Proves
His Title.

The following is from a Davenport
paper. Mrs. Schaezler was formerly
Miss Mabel Cannif and lived in Topeka:
Mr.. and Mrs. Otto L Schaezler came
to Davenport a few months ago. At
that time the proper title of the gentle
man named was the Baron Won SchaeZ-
Ter, but since then he has proved his
title, the gratifying news coming from
Germany that his present mission there
has resulted satisfactorily and that he
will sail for America again on the 18th
inst.
1t was Is years ago that young Won
Schaezler, fresh from a first Heutenancy
of dragons in the German army, came
to this country. He was the oldest son
of Baron Won Schaezler, whose estates
surround the SchlOss VOrnbacb, near
Munich. Here he supported himself,
and in 1894 became shipping clerk for
the Marquette Third Vein Coal COM
pany, at Marquette. He was there last
spring, when word reached him of his
fathers death, and he realized that he
was heir to the title and estates.
At TOIuca H.. in 1895, Won Schaez-
Ter and Miss Mabel Canniff were mar
ried. Shortly after receiving word of
his fathers demise, Mr.. and Mrs Won
SchaeZler came to Davenport and from
here the former instituted the negotia-
tiOns that finally led to his going to
Germany He left his wife and son
here.
A letter from Won Schaezler states
that he has been successful in prov
ing his title to the baronial estates, and
that by an arrangement with a young
er brother he will get their equivalent
in good German marks. while the
brother takes the title and the estate.
Otto Won SchaezIer has lived too long in
and before the end of the month will

LARGEST IN THE WORLD.
Gold Ore Reduction Plant at Cripple
Creek-1OOOTons Daily Ca
pacifV

Colorado Springs, Col, Dec. THE
opening up of the great plant of the
Economic Extraction company at Vic
tor is of importance, in view of the
fact that for two months past Cripple
Creeks production has been limited to
the capacity of mills and smelters to
treat the ores.
The new mill is the largest in the
world, having 1000 tons daily capacity,
or about three's fourths of the combin-
ed capacity of all the smelters and re-
duction works now operating in the dis
trict. It is situated at Eclipse Gulch,
near Victor, and is under control of the
Woods Investment company for the
special treatment of the Gold Coin and
tributary mines. LOw-grade ores can
be successfully treated by the process
employed. Recently s15, 900 900 English
capital was refused for the mines,
whose ores are to be treated by this
plant.

Basket Ball and Football at K o

Lawrence. Kan, Dec. IA meeting
Of those interested in basket ball was
held Wednesday, It was decided to try
to get place fitted UP in the Y. NJ. Q.
A. rooms for practice. There is no room
in the gymnasium for basket ball prac-
tice at present owing to its small size,
but next year efforts will be taken to
have this remedied. The team may give
up a part of their trip on account of
this.
The captain of the football team for
next year was not elected on account of
a technicality by which an election
must be called one week prior to the
meeting. Fifteen men who have played
in the league games are entitled to vote
and a week from today they will elect
a captain. There is little possibility of
the team playing the Medics in Con-
vention hall Christmas day. Professor

YELLOW FEVER APPEARS.
In the Interior of Costa Rica Supposed
to Be Immune Territory

Panama, Dec 6.-Reports from Costa
Rica indicate that yellow fever has ap-
peared in the interior of the country.
For the first time on record cases of
the disease have broken out in Alajue-
Ia, II miles from the capital, where on
account of its high altitude, it was not
believed yellow fever could develop.
Several of the patients have died. The
government is taking vigorous meas
ures to stamp out the disease.
Bishop Pereira. of Nicaragua, has ar
rived at San Jose. He was recently
expelled by President Zelaya because
of his vigorous protest against the de-
cisiOn of the national assembly rela-
tive to the disposition of property Civ
en- to the church. He took the ground
that all landed property, movable ar
ticles and other valuables appertaining
to religious fraternities belonged ex-
clusively to those bO1ies.
A shipment of 81. .5OO,O 900 American
gold arrived recently for the Costa Ri
can government. 1t is to be put into
circulation when the change to the gold
standard goes into effect.

M'coY AND RYAN.
The "Kid " Promises His Rival a
Match at 1853 Pounds.

New York. Dec. AT last there is
Coy and Tommy Ryan will meet in the
squared arena and battle for the mid
dle-weight championship. The two
met in New York Monday and Mccoy
promised Ryan a meeting. 1t was only
a verbal promise, but those that know
the HOOsier well take stock in his ulti-
matum, and the pair will likely get
down to business some day ere long
and sign articles of agreement They
met in COrbett's place. Neither fighter
had been speaking to the other for
many moons, but the hatchet was
buried and the two had a long chat.
Mccoy started the conversation going
by asking Ryan if he would indulge in
a drink with him.
This sudden display of gOod-fellOw-
ship on McCOy's part somewhat stag
gered Ryan, but he was equal to the oc-
casiOn and replied: Certainly, Kid;
how are yOu?"
They they shook hands and had the
drink, and Ryan said:
I want to meet you Mccoy and I
think you ought to take me on. I have
challenged you very often lately, but
you have not paid any attention to me.
1 viii box you at 158 pounds. In doing SO
L am giving away weight, for. at best,
I am only a Welter- weight. If you will
consent to meet me I viii arrange a
match any time. We could both draw
a very large house, and the public is
anxious for US to come together
Mccoy replied that he would sign to
meet his old antagonist, win or lose
against Maher, at 158 pounds, within
four months. They then had another
hand shake and departed.

AT SEPARATE CHURCHES.
Report That Dewey and Wife Will
Worship Apart.

Washington, Dec. Admiral George
Dewey's name is upon the pews of two
churches of this city, one in the Epis-
faith. The admiral has rented a pew
in St. Johns Episcopal church, of
which the Reverend Mackay-Smith is
pastor He was recently elected a
trustee of the Episcopal Temple in the
northwestern suburbs of the city. The
admiraPs wife has retained her pew in
the St. Paul's Catholic church, but
Father Mackin, it's pastor, after the
marriage, changed the plate on the pew
so that instead of bearing the name
'Hazen," as it did before the ceremony
was performed, it now presents that of
Dewey
1t is understood, however, that Ad-
miral Dewey does not expect to attend
this church, but will continue to wor-
ship at st. Johns Episcopal church.

He Wins a Rather Youthful Bride
With Fortune of Seven Millions.

Bridgeport. Conn. Dec. REV Hen

won a bride 80 years his junior, worth
S7,O00,00O. The marriage took place at
noon today. Mr.. Sherman Will not
preach any more. He has given up his
pulpit to devote himself to his wife.
The minister married his bride once
before. At that time he was the rec
tot of St PauI's Episcopal church. but
he was then the officiating clergyman
and not the bridegroom, as he was to-
day. Then the present Mrs Sherman
was Miss Mary Perry, the daughter of
William H. Perry, one of the richest
men in Bridgeport. She was married to
Mark Leavenworth, a hardware dealer,
13 years ago. Mr.. Leavenworth died
three years ago. Then Mr.. Perry be-
came blind and died last June. Mr..
Perry gave his daughter 81 600, 600 out

Rev Mr.. Sherman has really been
lost sight of in telling the story, but he

all the Rest from Grease, Fats or
Oils, Combined with an AIkaIi.
THE NEW SOAP.
4 Perfect Skin Healer and a Delight
full Refreshing Toilet Article.
NO OTHER LIKE IT.

The first skin and toilet soap ever
manufactured by the new process is
proving a revelation to soap users. This
is not surprising when you remember
that heretofore it has been thought i'm
possible to make soap of any kind with
out fats, grease oil and alkaH These
ingredients have been the base of all
soaps from time immemoriaI, and have
been collected by street scavengers or
purchased from incinerating plants,
which burn the refuse of our cities; not
an agreeable thing to think of, but new
ertheless true. To be sure many of these
are nicely perfumed and no doubt made
as pure as possible; but if the alkai
is strong enough to kill the grease and
oil, it destroys and hardens the skin;
if the reverse the pores of the skin
become clOggad and disease follows,
all the medication in the world can not
prevent it-What a delightful change
then to have a soap free from these in
gradients and made from the fragrant,
green leaves of the Tasmanian Blue
Gum Tree, these leaves being acknOw-
lodged by the medical profession as the
most harmless, as well as the most
powerful germ destroyer and skin puri-
fer known.
a bath with Hyomei Skin Soap is
simply delightful. It leaves the skin
soft, cool and refreshed, imparting to
it the peach like bloom of health.
1t is guaranteed to cure all diseases
of the skin Sold by all druggists or
sent by mail, price 25 cents.
