night.
According to the story OF the girls
father, a cousin of the unlucky young man,
Engle, aged II, recently became infatuated
with Miss Emma Lind, aged Is, who, rumor
had 1t, was to have become the wife Of
the elder Engle. The admiration Of the youne
brother for Miss Lind was returned and
when it became apparent to them he was
high man he determined he would take no
chances Of his brother cutting him out"
by waiting until he was a grown man.
1t was agreed they should marry. How to
accomplish it in the face of unusual cir
cumstances was a question that concerned
them not a little. 1t was finally deter
mined, however, that an elopmeut was
necessary. They came to Des Moines Sat-
urday afternoon and secured a marriage
license. Their ages and identification were
sworn to by some man giving mis- name as
John White and his residence l416 Walnut
street and who is now wanted by the Of
hcers on a charge OF perjury.
DisRrm Suspicion.
Returning to Metz Saturday night, Miss
Lind went to her home and Engle to the
home OF his father, no one suspecting what
had been done. On Sunday Engle drove TO
a netghbor's, where he was met by Miss
Lind, and they drove to Mitchellville, where
a justice OF the peace tied the knot. The
newly welded couple spent Sunday night at
Colfax. An uncle OF the groom resides at
Newton, and thither they went on Monday
to enjoy a wedding supper.
In the meantime Father Lind OF Metz
got wind Of the elopement. Securing Ave
officers, he fastened TO Mitchellville,
tracked the couple to Colfax and finally
Newton, where he swooped down on them
az they were in the act OF partaking OF
the wedding dinner.
OF course there was a scene. Mrs. Engle
cried like the little girl she was and re-
fused TO leave her husbands side until as
sured the latter would be allowed to Join
her at her fathers home. Engle was taken
In custody, brought 20 this city. where he
gave a $500 bond today. Mrs. Engle was
taken to her home in Jasper county, and
the police officers OF this city and Sheriff
Hook OF Jasper county are looking for
White. Lind says his daughter is but 10
years OF age and that Engle is not over II.
Their ages appear on the license record a.

After securing his release on bond Engle
began action in the district court to recover
his wife. A writ OF habeas corpus was is
sued by Judge McHenry this morning ana

fought battles ever waged In lows
for a saloon contest petition was
brought to a close today, when Judge

sion OF the Harrison county district

sent petition was null and void. The petit
tion contained the names OF so per cent OF
the voters Of this city. as required by Law.
but the saloon men failed to nle their ap
peal bond in ten days. as specified In the

through an oversight. As but one petition
can be circulated In any one year. this city

MERGERS LAW CLASS
ISM LIVELY WRAN GLE

MACON, Feb. 5-Mercer,s law class is
divided against itself. The frats and the
mons are pitted against each other In a
fight that might prove serious and sensa-
tional. unless wiser counsel prevails.
Last night when President Stapleton
called the class to order, as was his Gus
tom. he was confronted with motion to
declare his place vacant, also that OF
treasurer and of historian. The reasoD
for the motion was stated to be that the
officers. had been elected on the idea that
they were non-fTaternity men, but that
after election they Joined fraternities and
thus proved themselves unentitled to the
honors that had been conferred upon
them.
President Stapleton vacated the chair,
turning 1t over to a fraternity man. he
stated that he had not campaigned as a
non and that he was elected by acclama-
ton. showing that the fTats as we'll as the
mons were his constituents. The temper
arv chairman ruled the motion out of or
der. The mons appealed from his ruling
but they could not get the necessary two
thirds vote They remained in the meet
ing until the close. but they then went TO
themselves and held another meeting ana
elected Mr.. Lamar Clay, of Macon, for
their president, declaring that Mr.. Staple
ton should no longer preside over them.
They also elected to fill the other two
offices.
Now, the interesting feature is in what
the future might develop. If the mons
call meeting it is said the frats will bolt
II and try to have meeting of their own,
and if the frats call a meeting the mons
will bolt 1t.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Sat the opening
of yesterday Session of the senate Mr..
Keene of New Jersey presented the Gre
dentials OF John +. Dryden elected to sue
coed the late Senator Sewell, for the unex-
pired term of six years, beginning on
March 4, 1901. After the credentials had
been received Mr.. Dryden was escorted

treme right of the chamber. His desk
was adorned with beautiful floral offer
ings from the New Jersey delegation in

of Mr.. Dryden's family and some inti-
mate friends from New Jersey occupied
the senate reserved gallery during the
ceremony of his induction into office.
At the conclusion of routine business
consideration of the bill providing for an
increase of the salaries of United States
judges was resumed. Mr.. Teller thought

pared to vote for "pice-meal operation"
He suggested that the salaries of members
of the cabinet ought to be increased.
Mr.. Ellxins offered an amendment pro-
viding that members of the cabinet be
given salaries of $12,5OO year, but it was
laid on the table by a vote of 80 to p.
The bill then passed. SO to q.
BY the terms of the measure the follow

ENGLAND DECLINES
OFFERS OF DUTCH
If Beers WANT PEACE TERMS
MUST COME FROM THE
Beers.

LONDON. Feb. 4.-The British govern
ment replied to NJ. Schuyler. the Dutch
premier. that II, the Beers in the field de-
sire to negotiate for peace, negotiations
can be entered into; but. only IN South
Africa.
The British government adheres to It's
intention not to accept the Intervention
OF any foreign power.
The text OF. the reply Of Lord Lans-
downe, the British foreign secretary. 10
the communication OF DR.. Kuyper, the pre-
mier OF the Netherlands. is as follows:
THE foreign Office. January %.
Sir: You were good enough TO lay
before me. January p. a communication
from the Netherlands government, In
which II was proposed that with the OBJ
fect Of bringing the war TO an end, his
ma iesty's government might grant SAFE
conduct 10 the Beer delegates now in
Holland. for the purpose of enabling them
TO confer with the Boer leaders In South
Africa.
1T Is suggested. that. after a confer
ence. the delegates might return to Eu-
rope with power to conclude treaty OF
peace with this country. and the Neither
lands government intimate that. in this
event they might. at a later stage. be
instrumental in placing the BOer plenipo-
tentiaries in relation with plenipotentiaries

and whilst entirely appreciative OF the mo-
tives OF humanity. which led the Neither
lands government TO make this proposal,
they feel they must adhere TO the position
adopted and publicity announced by
them some months after the commence
ment OF the hostilities by the Beers. that
il is not their intention 10 accept the in
PREVENTION OF any foreign power In he
South African war.
Should the Boer delegates themselves
desire TO lay a request for a safe conduct
before his majesty's government there is
no reason why they should not do so.
Il may, therefore. point out that IL is
not at present clear TO his majesty's gov
eminent that the delegates retain any in
fiuence over the representatives Of the
Beers in South Africa, or have any voice
in their councils. His maiesty's govern
ment on the other hand, understands that
all the powers of government, including
those OF negotiation. were now complete
~ vested In Mr.. Steyn. for the Beers of
the Orange River colony. and Mr.. Schalk-
Burger. for those of the Transvaal. IL
this IS so. Il is evident that the quickest
and most satisfactory means OF arranging
a settlement would be by direct commune
cation between the leaders OF the Boer
forces in South Africa and the comman-
der-In-chief OF his majesty's forces, who
has already been instructed TO forward
Immediately any offers he may receive.
His majesty's government has decided
that II the BOer leaders should desire TO
enter into negotiations FOR the purpose of
bringing the war to an end. these negoti-
atoms must take place. rot IN Europe, but

ROME. Ga, Feb. 5.-A card appeared in
The Tribune this morning signed "Citi-
zen," charging Mr.. Seaborn Wright with
an effort on his part to rent storeroom

censes and to lease them for five years.
Mr. Wright stated to a Journal repre-
sentative today: 81 never made any prop
osition to any saloon man to rent build
ing Of mine at any time. The statement is
absolutely false that 1 ever in any way
attempted to lease property for the pur-
pose of selling liquor. Ny brother and
