SENSATION IN ECU ROPE.
lac Dowager Empress Said to Have
Been Secretly Married

Paris, Aug. 15.-Was the late Dow
dger Empress Frederick secretly mar!
ried in 1896 to Count Won Seckendorf?
In a story in the affirmative the
French papers are now reveling. 1t is
the European sensation of the day.
1t is eneveu TO be true, and it is
quite likely that other sensations will
soon follow these revelations.
The kaiser is furious at publica-
tons concerning the empire SIS, not
only in France, but in England and
the United States. He is understood
to have ordered censorship Of all
kilograms sent to foreign papers.
In the French journals numerous
anecdotes are recalled concerning
quarrels between Emperor William
ton of a marriage between the latter
and Count Won SeckendoTf.
In letters written by the Baroness
Won Rosbach, who was formerly one
of the chief Understanding to the
empress, she insists that the empress
and Seckendorf were secretly married
in 1896; that ley lived together as
man and wife; that they nad the
deepest affection Ior each other, and
that their marital relations were as
happy as they could possibly be I'M
der the circumEt ances.
The marriage was known to the
kaiser and to all the empress royal
relatives, but was never officially or
even privately acknowledged. The
kaiser never allowed his children to
visit Friedrichsnof, and only permit
ted Count Won Seckenuorf to enter his
presence under protest and only then
in his mothers suite.
1t is understood that the empress
has bequeatheo a large amount of
money to the count. Other conul-
tons of her will will likely cause con-
sternation among her German and
English relatives. It's real terms.

taken to prevent any leakage of it's

Implement dealers report that the
sales and transfers made through
Des Moines houses SO far this season
have been about 80 per cent less than
a year ago.~and that the aggregate
of sales will be the smallest in sew
eral years This is because of the
failure of the small grain crop in
considerable portion of the state, the
uncertain condition of the corn crop
and the small demand for machinery
in states bordering on Iowa, due to
crop failures.

She Was Too Kind Hearted.

There is one young woman living at
LAnse, Mich, whose benevolent dis
position received a severe shock last
Sunday evening. She was at church
and sat directly behind a tall. we'll
dressed stranger. with a raveling hang
ing to his collar. Being one of those
gencrOus-hearted, w~hole-souled girls
who grow up to be motherly old ladies'.
a friend to everybody in town, she
thought how glad she would be II some
kind-hearted girl would do as much
for her father were he to 90 to church
with a raveling hanging down his back.
so when the audience rose for the first
hymn she concluded to pick It on.
Carefully raising her hand. she gave q
little twitch, but 1t was longer than
she supposed, and a foot or more ap-
peared. Setting her teeth. she gave a
pull and about a yard OF that horrible
thread hung down his back. This was
getting embarrassing. but determined.
she gave it another yank and discov-
cred that she was unraveling his I'M
dershirt. Her discontinue was SO
painful that chloroform would not
have alleviated her sufferings o a
pint OF powder hidden her bushes
when the gentleman turned with an
iuquiring look to see what WAS tickling
his neck.

AS the nerves of our nostrils are so
little protected, they are very delicate
sensitive, and when we take SNUFF
the nerves in the body are affected
in sympathy. In consequence, snuff
taking. like smoking. has a narcotic
effect upon the brain, and naturally
acts upon the intelligence. Thus it
can easily be seen that it weakens the

The old proverb; "To be at peace
prepare for war; is the secret OF the
larger part of life's successes, whether
OF nations or individuals.
