was appointed to the mission to Italy,

1897 Count Won Buelow was selected
by the kaiser for the post OF foreign

Queen Wilhelmina has proclaimed
her betrothal to Duke Henry Of Neck
lenburg- g-Schwerin, a dashing young
officer and special favorite Of Kaiser
wilhelm.
Duke Henry is tall. bright-looking
and German in appearance. He is q
lieutenant in the Prussian Life guards
and is also attached TO the Mecklen-
burg fusileers.
The marriage will take place next
spring.
The duke is scarcely known in Am.
sterdam and not particularly we'll at
The Hague. 1t was rumored that the
queen had selected his elder brother,
Duke Adolf.
BY betrothing herself to the duke
of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Queen Viii
helmina disappoints all the schemes
of royal matchmakers. The name of
the bridegroom selected has at no
time been coupled with hers. The
news of the engagement will bring
disgust to dozen or more highly
eligible princes of royal families.
Here are few OF them to whom she
has actually been reported betrothed
at one time or another:
Prince Frederick William, oldest
son Of the kaiser.
Prince William OF Wied.
Prince Bernard Henry of Saxe-Wei-
mar.
Prince Harold OF Denmark.
Prince Nicolas of Greece.
Prince Eugene Of Sweden.
Prince Alexander of Teck.
Prince Frederick Henry of Prussia.
Prince Adolph Bernard of Schaum-
berg Lippe.
Prince Louis Napoleon.
Prince Max of Baden.
The queen, in choosing the duke for
q husband, has fulfilled the require
ments of the law which demand that
she shall marry Protestant and that
he shall he prince of rcigning
house. The Mccklenburg- -Schwerins
have been devout Protcstants from
the time OF the reformation and they

Wedekind was 10 years old when
one day he went hunting. Lven the
game had suffered from the civiliZa-
tion ;hat had come to the state and
then gone to such measures as to
leave it a population less than it had
when admitted to the union. He was
discouraged with hunting and was re-
turning moodily homeward. Climbing
down the SIDE of bluff his foot
slipped
And uncovered n gold mine!
He saw the unmistakable color" in
the yellow earth and he staked right
and left. Reno awoke to new gold
fever and the stakes were planted
everywhere that they had not been
driven before. One hundred thousand
dollars was bid for his first claim and
the old man and his wife are said to
be worth $1,OOO,OO0.
But long years of hardship have dis
counted this great sum. Privation
and makeshift means to live have SO
affected the old people that they have
little capacity for enjoyment Of their
great wealth. They live in the same
little house in the same frugal way
that they had lived for 80 years or
more. They have better food and
better clothes, but the old mans chief
pleasure is to potter" around the
mine, while the wife sits with folded
hands looking across the alkali
plains, day-dreaming.

in which Mr.. Clyde A. Whitney. son OF
Mr.. Frank Whitney, of 905 Iowa street,

Both Of the young people are promi-

were least expecting the surprise that
was in store for them when about
twenty-five members Of the Keystone
League, the young peoples society of
the United Evangelical church, gath
cred at the Whitney home to Transact
such affairs as might be brought up at
any ordinary business meeting. Mr.
Whitney is president OF the league and

John Freestone, of the Soldiers Home,
who was in Des Noines Tuesday az the,
complaining witness in the case Of adul-
terry brought against Mrs. Freestone and
II. j. Thompson, OF the Soldiers Home,
was served with an original notice in.
Des NIoines Tuesday evening, which in
formed him that Mrs. Freestone had
filed in the Polk county district court an
action for divorce on the grounds of ha-.
Ibitual drunkenness and cruel and inhu-
man treatment
Freestone returned this morning from
Dea Moines and is as yet undecided
what further action he will take in re-
gard to Mrs. F'reestone and Thompson.
He says his wife and her lover remained
in Des Moines after the case was dis
missed Tuesday and that probably
neither will return to Marshalltown.
Thompson did not take a discharge from
the Home, but the feeling against him
in the institution will bar him from en-
tering again
The result of the Des Moines justice
court decision in the case was great
surprise to Freestone, as it was also to
Sheriff Shoemaker and his officers, but
under the circumstances nothing else
could be expected. The witnesses upon
whose testimony the case hinged. who
informed the sheriff when the arrest
was made al9ng what lines they would
testify, backed down entirely and did
not swear to anything that could be
Iconsidered convicting.

Talks BUILDING Plans
School Board Meets in Regular Sos.
sion to Consider Work on
Arson School.
Heating and Sanitary Supplies Men
Present to submit Plans in
Those Directions.
Board Takes No Action, But Favors
Steam Heating-To Sell the
Old Building.

The regular meeting of the school
board Tuesday night proved to be quite
a lengthy session., and considerable im-
,portant business, principally in the mat
ter Of making preparations for the
building OF the new Arson school and re-
modelling OF the Arnold. was transacted.
All Of the members Of the board were
present excepting DR.. Devine, who was
lunavoidably detained, and the first
thing to come up was the submission Of
plans of representatives Of heating and
sanitary appliance firms
Mr.. Taft. who is. with q Chicago and
Kansas City, Arm, manufacturing a
heating appliance, a system Of hot air
furnaces with fans to properly distrib-
ute the heat, was first given an audi
ence and his drawings. plans etc.. were
carefully looked over The system is
practically the same as IL In use here in
the Methodist church, and sis@very COM
Eplete.
After Mr.. Taft had finished, Mr.. Bas-
kins. representing Chicago sanitary
supply house, was given a little time to
introduce his firms articles, but no ac-
ton was taken excepting to allow him
the privilege of sending for inspection
the supplies themselves.
A motion was then made appointing
President Lennox and Chairman Atkins
son of the building and grounds COM
mittee members of committee to pre-
pare plans and specifications for plumb
ing and heating Of the new school build
ing.
Altho there was no action taken on
the plans submitted by Mr.. Taft for
heating, the board is hardly in favor Of
the fan system, altho the members think
that the system Is probably the best in
vogue. 1t is q little too expensive, how
ever, for the size of the building. they
think, and they favor more a steam
heating plant. owing to its economical
tendencies The fan system, of course,
requires motive power. and besides the
continual expense for power, the guam
tity and quality Of coal have to be bet
ter. Steam coal, or a cheaper grade. can
be used in steam heating plant, and
there will not be such great amount
required.
The sale of the old Arson school prem
ises on South Center street was talked
over at considerable length, and Secre-
tary Trotter was authorized to advertise
for the sale OF the property and builds
ing, either singly or in lump.
Strange to say there was not a petit
ton in for the remission OF school taxes,
and in that direction it seems as IL the
general public had forgotten that 1t was
the night for a regular meeting. The
usual number OF bills, however, always
coming upat regular sessions, We're al

DR.. Getz has been receiving the con-

OF the state, from members Of the pro-

Niscrcants Discovered to Have At.
tempted a Haul From the Heavily
Stock cd soldiers Home Lake.
The fact that Marshalltown needs a
deputy game and fish warden, and
needs one badly. is becoming more APP
parent every day, and following closely
upon the recent fact that dynamiting
In the river was being INDUCED in
comes the disclosure that Dewey Lake,
situated on the Soldiers Home grounds
and the property of the state of Iowa
and not the general public, has been
seined.
1t is thought, however. that very
great haul could have possibly been
made, owing to the character of the
lake, which is quite deep and hard to
seine At any rate the bank showed
the evidences off drag net having been
used. and parties We're seen. early this
morning, by members Of the Home
leaving with what appeared, in the
darkness, to be a large net.
.Commandant Horton is considerably
put out over the matter, and altho he
does not fear that the men secured
enough fish to repay them for their
trouble. yet he dislikes to think that
he will have to adopt troublesome
means to protect the fish, most Of
which We're put in by Fish Commission
er Delavan last fall. Hereafter, how
ever, stringent measures will be
adopted. and the men, all Of whom take
pride In the lake and do not relish the
idea of poachers. will be placed on
guard, armed. and parties who have no
business at the waters edge, If not
complying with the old army com
mand, halt" will be halted in another
way not so pleasant Commandment
Horton looks upon the matter as the
worsb kind of theft. and thinks his
guards would have as much reason to
shoot encroachers on the Home waters
as they would IL thieves entered their
own homes in the dead Of night to rob
and plumber.
