Father Stappenawitz returned to
Chicago and the guests went to
the Vember house. There the
bridegroom had prepared feast
and had musicians for a dance.
Margaret refused to sit next
to him at the table," aaid Kate
Kziliski. "She would not look
at him. When the dinner was
over they started to break plates,
as the custom is, and she was
given more than 800.
"This custom is that every
guest take a plate, break it with
a silver or gold coin. The
money goes to the bride. In this
case she collected it all and put
it in her pocket, and when her
husband asked for S15 with
which to pay the musicians she
refused. She has threatened to
use this money in going back to
Europe"

hibited large roll of bills which
he asked her to keep for him.
Mrs. Adams believed what he
said and took the money.
Manley's curiosity to find out
if anybody was following him
from Deep River led him to loiter
about in the vicinity of the Polk
street depot. He had not waited
long before he found out to his
sorrow that the man he wanted
to avoid the most was on his
tracks. Wood caught him and
took him to the central police
station.

New Light on Information possessed b,

PARIS, Sept. 30-An import
ant work, which throws a fresh
light on the discovery of Amerl-

secretary of the United States
embassy here. 1t is in French

the vice-president of the Ameri-

made a life study of the early
history of America.
"The present work is intended
to show that for the last four
centuries we have been deceived
by a fraud which hides from us

project and that famous docu-

mer. were fabricated. l submit
excellent reasons for believing
that Toscanelli never wrote the
letter of 1474 to King Alfonso of
Portugal and never traced the
chart alleged to have accompan-
led it. The design of Columbus
was not founded on any scientific
basis, but on opposite confirm
alton as to the existence of lands

Reideknite, a 17-year-old Lithu
anian girl of Washburn Springs.
a suburb of Waukegan, had to be
supported during her wedding
ceremony in the arms of the
groom, Michael Trunks, whom,
she says, she did not wish to
marry.
The wedding ceremony was
performed before large audi
ence of the brides fellow country
men, who did not understand un-
til too late that she was unwill-
ingly at the altar. Now the vii
lage is in a state of Indignation
and the girl refuses to speak to
her husband.
The scene at the close of the
service was dramatic. The girl
had been led into the church by
her cousin, Mrs. John Vember,
and her pale face and halting
steps caused comment. She
leaned heavily on her cousins
arm during the early part of the
long service, and when the priest,
Father Stappenawltz, asked her,
will you, Margaret, take this
man to be YOUR welded husband?"
she dropped to the floor. The
bridegroom hastily lifted the
girl to her feet, but 1t was sever
al minutes before she answered.
Then, in faltering tones, came
the reply, which groom and
priest took for the required
"yes," but which some of those
in the audience say was mo"
The conduct of the girl, her
reluctance, and her pitiful state
caused the priest to ask her a
second time if she was willing.
No reply came, but the priest
was told that the girl was indis-
posed, and the wedding went on.
Unknown to the priest Miss
Reideknite had begged her
friends and her cousin-the only
relative she has in America-not
to allow the ceremony to take
place. To her pleadings they re-
piled:
"We Lithuanians marry young
and you must, too. Trunks is
a good man and you must not OBJ
ject."
Trunks, who is one of the
wealthy men of the village,
understood the girls reluctance,
but was hopeful that after the
marriage the disagreement might
disappear.
The girl came to America from
Russia three months ago. She
had received several encourag-
ing letters from Mrs. John Vem-
Der, and, induced by these, had
left her parents. Once here she
became the belle of the district.
Two neighbors sought her hand.
One was Trunks and the other
Carl Voulke. Of the two Voulke
apparently was the favorite.
"She would have married him,
too" said Mrs. Charles Vember
yesterday, "but some of the fam
lily objected. Then they began
to press the case of Trunks. He
was so much in love with her
tt That he apparently overlooked
the coercive means. Whenever
he came to the house she ran out
the back door. Once he entered
my parlor, where she happened
to be, and out she went, crying
that they wanted her to marry
him and she would not"
81 don't know how it was man
aged" said Mrs. Paul Burke,
s'but after time the girl was in
duced to say she would marry
Trunks. She even went to Chi
cago and bought her outfit, but
she came back crying as if her
heart would break"
ION Sunday the girl refused
to be seen by any one," said
Kate Kzliski. when Trunks |
came to the house she begged |
that he be net allowed to come
near. He did not know of this
and went away, thinking she
was i'll. On Sunday she fed
from the house when they told

oLEoMARGARINE BILL REPORTED.
Action of the Senate Committee on

Senator Proctor, chairman Of the Senate

noon presented to the Senate the report
Of that committee on the oleomargarine

measure from organized labor, and Whie IL

WALKED TWENTY MILES ASLEEP.
Lake Forest Academy Oll) Students
Feat of SOmnambuIiam.


A dispatch to the New York Herald from
Waukegan, ILL.,, says: The remarkable SOM
nambulistic trip of Kenneth Hughes, Lake
Forest Academy student. is the cause OF
much talk. He had been i'll with infiam-
matory rheumatism.
He had written to his parents that re
wanted to come home, but that he did not
think that he couldiBtand the long cold ride
out there from Waukegan at that time. The
most he knows is that he went to bed IN
Lake Forest and was aroused the next
morning in his fathers barn, twenty-five
miles away.
He retired about 81 o'clock on the night
of January Is at his college boarding house
in Lake Forest That was the last thing
he remembered until his father, greatly
surprised, aroused him. Young Hughes had
been sound asleep in the barn, sitting up in
a buggy fully dressed and wrapped in robes
and blankets.
When his father awakened him young
Hughes was as much astonished as his
parent. He could recall none of the hap
penings of the night further than his 60
ing to bed at Lake Forest. A count of his
pocket money showed fifteen cents gone.
the price of an electric car ride from Lake
Forest to Waukegap. -
The fact that he felt somewhat stiff and
lame corroborated the idea that he had
walked the twenty miles overland from
Waukegan to the home farm.
The story of bis trip can only be guessed.
He must have arisen and dressed warmly.
Then he must have caught a Chicago and
Milwaukee electric car, paid fifteen cents
and ridden to the end of the line In Wau-
kegan. From there he must have walked
twenty miles over rough country roads in
northwesterly direction in the darkest time
Of the night and against a strong west
wind.
Late DEVELOPMENTS show that Hughes left
his room about l in the morning of January
10. DIR. Haven, who attended Hughes, says
that on Friday the boys condition was nor
NAL; he had no fever. though he suffered
considerably.

Florida and California Oranges.

In your issue of January %, in the ar
ticle, 1.-The Lady. and the Orange" the
statement that these trees ''do not grow as
we'll In Florida" as in California, calls for
correction. Having eaten the navel seed
less oranges fresh from the trees in both
states, 1 unhesitatingly say that those
grown on Indian river surpass those of
California. where all fruit runs rather to
size than to sweetness and delfcacy. And
In this opinion / find many travellers to
agree. On my table today are oranges
from Err Iidoune Grove, at the junction Of
Indian and Sebastian rivers, which, al
though two weeks old measure eleven full
inches in circumference and weigh from
seven to eight ounces. and this is the av-
erage weight Of those in the box. There are
many who will indorse the statement that
where intelligent cultivation is given the
Indian river seedless orange excels that of
California. JUSTICE TO FLORIDA.
