MUST RETURN THE MONEY
Paid After Peter Faber's
Insolvency Must Refund.

Peter Faber within period stated by
Referee Merriman must turn the funds
back into the estate. The referee has de-
Terminated that Mr.. Faber was insolvent
four months previous to the fling OF

creditors will have to turn back money
received within four months in order to
participate in the election of trustee
and in the estate itself Two collection
firms control the majority of claims, the
one holding those of the large creditors
and the other the more numerous but
small creditors. A fight IS promised be-
tween these two factions when it comes TO
the election early next week.

The
oraphie's
a CASE OF
CONSCIENCE
(Original.l

Peter Cortright was going home one
evening when, happening to glance at
the foot of a tree box, between the
box and the curb, partly hidden by a
tuft of grass, he saw Il package. Stoop
Ing, he picked it UP, tore Off corner Of
the wrapper and uncovered something
green and crisp. Looking about, he
cav that no one observed him and. put
ting the package in his pocket, made
straight for home. There he discov-
cred that he had come into possession
Of $4,000 in bills. He rerolled the
package, tied it up and locked it in his
bureau drawer.
There is Il tleit in humanity that
leads people who have made a st p
upward to desire to take another. Cort-
right had no thought of investing the
money and enjoying the interest. He
was seized with the idea of using it to
make fortune This was before the
great boom in the stock market which
began after the second election OF
President Mckinley. Cortright made
up his mind to take the longest chances
with view to re#ping the largest
profits. He selected five railroads
whose securities We're selling at the
lowest figure and invested $4,000 in
each of them, buying on 5 per cent
margin. which enabled him to hold
twenty times the market value Of the
securities. l.: the spring of 1901 he
sold out and after getting in his checks
:rom his brokers found that the sos
900 had hecouIe $sU0,uu0. Investing
the amount in bonds. he received an
annual interest of 5 per cent. Or $40,-
800.
No sooner did Peter Cortri@ht settle
down to the enjoyment of tnis abun'
dant income than he hc2-ar to feel that

that his comfort and his pleasure

:. personal that would be understood
by the owner should it meet his eye
and awaited 4 reply
1t was such an advertisement as the
owner of the bills had been looking for
for years. 1t had been inserted only
twice when Miss Esther Packard, a
girl of twenty, called upon Cortright
and informed him that on certain
day two years before she had been
paid legacy of $4,000. Going home
with the money, she was followed by
q man who. she feared. had seen her
draw the money from the bank. She
threw the package into the grass al
the bottom of a tree box and passed
on. She proved to have been mistaken

Had it not been for this extravagaEt

To be called an angel for keeping these
profits to himself was more than Cort-
right could bear. He tried to think

meant explanation. Besides, he knew
perfectly we'll that the girl was en-.
titled to the whole amount less any
commission she might see fit to allow
him-that is. if she refrained from
prosecuting him for retaining funds

upon his mind was that he had been
called an angel for dishonest act.
One morning when Miss Packard re-
ceiyed her mail she opened a very
small envelope that contained a very
large check 1t was for more than
$S25, 1000 and was every cent that Cort-
right possessed. Accompanying it was
q note stating that it was the profit OF
an investment of her money.
Miss Packard was dumfounded, be.

him an archangel. Not having any
knowledge of business and being too
emotional TO see the dishonesty Of
CortriGhts course in keeping and risk

HELD REUNION
SERVICE ALONE
ONLY ONE MEXICAN WAR VET
ERAN APPEARED AT
PARIS, ILL.

Paris, Ill, June 19-An element OF
pathos attached TO the annual reunion
Of Mexican war veterans Of Edgar
county, announced to take place at
the fair grounds near this city. At
the time appointed there appeared just
one survivor of that me morsble strug.
gle, in the person q Daniel G.. Burr.
Of Paris, who went through the cere.
monisl of holding reunion all by
himself, with evident enjoyment.
With no audience but the surrounding
trees, he called the roll Of the humid
red or more stalwart men who went
out from this county to follow the for
tunes of Scott and Taylor, and who
are now so widely scattered that the
known survivors may almost be
counted on the fingers of one hand
Only three survivors reside in Edgar
county.
The annual reunions were in former
years we'll attended, but through the
agencies of death and removal the
attendance dwindled, until for three
years past it has davolved upon Mr..
Burr alone to maintain the custom,
which, he says, will be done so long
as he lives. Having been the orderly
sergeant of the company which Edgar
county contributed to the Illinois
quota of troops, Mr.. Burr has care
fullylpreserved his roll book, and each
year he checks of the names of the
dead, absent and missing. His task il
nearly done, for he is SO years Of age,
and very feeble. He is already plan
ming, however, for next years reun-
ion, at which time he annou noes the
intention of delivering an address on
the cause Of the Mexican war and the
part borne therein by Edgar county
troops.

Berlin, June l9.-Recalling his his.
toric pilgrimage to the Holy Land in
its vivid and striking imagery was
the visit Of the saiser to AK La Chap
ellie today. In order to give more
brilliancy to the occasion the imperial
suite camped outside the walls from
midnight to daybreak, when the party
entered the city on horseback, the
kaiser dressed as Charlemagne. He
was preceded by heralds trumpeting
his arrival and followed by company
Of feudal lords, all costumed as their
ancestors were in the Middle Ages.
At the city gates body Of notables
delivered to the kaiser the symbolical
keys on a crimson cushion, and the
cortege then proceeded through the
medieval part of the town. After q
solemn visit to the cathedral the kaiser
was escorted to the town hall, the an
cient headquarters of Charlemagne,
where he met the authorities and not.
ables of the town.

seems nearing an end and yesterday
the Rhampendahl heading and stave
factory took all the union men which
it had discharged.
The proprietor recently discharged
them all and had not employed any
except non-union men for several
months. He seemed to be the only
manufacturer making a hard fight
against the unions and now that he
has come over looks like the back
bone has been broken and the others
will follow his example. This was
the limit set for all the union men to
walk out and few were left in the
mills to comply with this order.

SCOTLAND YARD ALARMED
RUMORS OF A PLOT TO ASsAS-
SINATE KING EDWARD.

London, June ia sensational
story is current in L ondon Of the dis
covery of plot to assassinate King
Edward. This story has created con-
siderable discussion in newspapers and
other articles, but il is lacking in
anything like official confirmation.
According to the current report,
King Edwards sudden illness at AL
dershot was not due to a cold, but
was merely an excuse fer withdraw
ing his majesty from public functions,
owing to the discovery by Scotland
Yard of q plot against his life. The
principals in this plot have not yet
been arrested.
IL is cited in confirmation OF this
story that King Edwards recovery,
when he was ensconced at Windsor
castle, was as complete and speedy as
his attack has been sudden.
On the other hand, it must be point.
ed out that If his maiesty's illness was
merely diplomatic the officials certain
ly took a great deal Of trouble in keep
ing up the fiction. Sir Francis LAX
ing, physician IN ordinary to the king,
was summoned by telegraph to Alder
shot; his prescriptions were hurriedly
filed, and everything about the kings
apartments indicated the genuine ma
ture of his illness. Furthermore, King
Edwards journey from Aldershot to
Windsor in his motor car, and his
subsequent drive today in Windsor
park, do not seem to indicate any fear
Of further attack upon his person.
