This annual feast of roses was inaug-

cation of lions Lutheran church placed
a memorial window back of the pulpit,
in which the principal object of decora-
ton was large red rose. This was SYM

to Baron Henry William Sliegel, the
founder Of Mannheim, and the first glass
and iron manufactures of note in the
United States, who, in December, 1772,
conveyed to the trustees of the Lutheran
congregation a plot of ground on which
to erect church.

This ground, decided forever yearly to

W0NAN WHO IS HCTIDG MAYOR.

FORT SCOTT, Kan, June S.-Not every
woman who has the distinction of being a
mayors wife would take up part of his
burdens of Office, especially if the self
appointed task necessitated going among
the homes Of the poor and lowIy, inves-
tfgating appeals for aid and distributing
the bounty of the public. This is the
work which has been Undertaken by Mrs.
c. w. Goodlander, wife of the mayor of
this city, and one of the prettiest and
most popular young women in society
here.
Not only is Mrs. Goodlander young, but
her husband has the honor of being the
youngest mayor in the United States,
He was elected short time ago on a
non-partisan ticket, to the great surprise
of the politicians ofs-alls parties. AS soon.
as he took Office he found that one of the
most. ,onerous of his public duties was
attending to what are known as "pauper
orders''-that is. caring for the poor of
the city by issuing orders for supplies
ensthe .city-,stofexeepers. In the past this
system has been greatly abused and the
enormous bills run up at some Of the
stores has amounted to a public scan
dial. Mayor Geodlander, while he de-
sired to reform all this, found it impos-

CHAPTER TX.

Those lines told story too ominous
to be disregarded. The hand in which
they were written was labored and dis
guised but Lieutenant Oakman knew
the writer as unerringly as did the one
who penciled the words.
He held the candle that he had
brought to his apartment in front of
the slip Of paper until every syllable
was read. Then he turned the missive
over and glanced at the other side.
There was nothing more. The fateful
message was stamped upon his brain
forever.
Setting down the candle, he twisted
up the paper, held one end to the flame
and did not stir until the charred atoms
dropped to the floor. Every vestige was
gone, and no harm could ever come to
the writer Of the friendly warning.
The officer sat down in his chair,
which was placed close to the window,
whose sash was raised. 1t was through
that window that the hand was thrust
in answer tohis signal from the margin
of the wood. What had become of that
individual who thus began a stealthy
communication only to terminate it
abruptly at sight of the negro lad
standing near the Union officer9 How
came he in that room and whittier had
he taken himself during the stay of the
prisoner
Apparently it was not these questions
that perplexed Oakman. His thoughts
ran in different channel.
When he babe his friends good night
below stairs, it was with the under
that he was to remain in the
house until the morrow, when he would
ride away on the horse Of Captain Tren-
holm. But here was an unmistakable
notification that the life of the guest
depended upon his leaving the dwelling
before sunrise.
"What will not man give in ex-
change for his life?' The officer i'm
plicitly believed the words penciled on
the paper, but there were several things
N this business that he could not I'M.
lerstand.
While 1t was impossible to implicate
Miss Eldridge, it was almost as difficult
% suspect Captain Trenholm, and yet to
believe the note almost forced the latter
conclusion.
When the mind enters upon the path
# suspicion, scores Of suggestions seem
o intensity ones distrust.
The captain lamented his inability to
'rovide the exchanged prisoner with an
scort, and yet, with Miss Eldridge's
nimal at command, he could have &C.
ompanied him until such escort was
ecured.

Major Blacks Sensational Testimony
Before the Beef Investigators.
Washington, March 3O-The military
court appointed to inquire into General
Miles charges concerning the beef sup
piled to the army during the Spanish
war had former Commisssry General
Eagan before it yesterday on recall, and
also heard the testimony of Rear Ad-
miral Stewart and Paymaster Colby, Of
the navy, and Major Black and Captain
Poneroy, volunteer officers, who were
engaged in the commissary service at
Ponce during General Miles Porto Rican
campaign.
General Eagan's testimony was not
startling. He stated that Messrs. Ar
mour Il Co. had put in a bid to supply
beef to be preserved by process of
their own, but that he had not consider
ed it. He also modified former state
ment to the effect that the "a hour clause
in the beef contract had crept in as
clerical error, saying that in the null
titude Of matters which had been de-
manding his attention at the time he hal
forgotten its insertion. There was an
apparent effort on the part of Major Lee,
representing General Miles, to show thar
Senator Hanna had sought to influence
the contracts, but General Eagan assert.
ed that he did not know the senator,
and no explanation was made Of the in
PRODUCTION of his name. General Eagan
made frequent reference during the CIV
ing Of testimony to the numerous de-
mands upon his time during the war,
