POWERS ACTING TOGETHER.
No Difference of Opinion Regarding
Macedonia,

London, Aug. 1S.-According to in
formation in possession Of diplomats
In London there is no reason at this
moment to fear the danger of differ
ences between the powers in respect
to Macedonia or that the trouble Will
spread beyond the confines of Turkey.
One of these, who is participating in
the exchange OF notes regarding the
situation, said to representative OF
the Associated Press:
The powers are acting halmonl.
ously. Nothing has developed to indi.
cate any suspicion or cause for sus'
picion of the motives underlying the
demands made by Russia upon the
porte A full exchange of views has
occurred between the powers interest
ed Mr. Balfour's statement in the
house of commons outlining Great
Britain's attitude and the warnings OF
Austria and Russia to Bulgaria proved
that these three nations are in accord
and the advices received at my en-
bassy show that France and Germany
approve the policy Of Russia and Aus
tria War between Turkey and Bul
garia might lead to general con
tlagration. 1t is to prevent compica-
tions of such a grave character that
every effort is being made by the pow
ers to maintain peace between those
countries.
Il have no information regarding
the exact destination of the Russian
squadron which has been ordered TO
Turkish waters, but within forty-eight
hours it Will reach whatever point has
been selected. There is no doubt that
the sole object of the dispatch Of the
squadron is to make Turkey under
stand that Russia Is in earnest and
that her demands must be complied
with without delay"

lectors of this country and Europe
says the Herald. It's owner Is mem
ber Of a noted and wealthy New York
family and it was from her home In
this city that the ornament disap
peared.
Details are withheld and detectives
engaged upon the case have been in
structed to proceed with unusual Sc
crecy, but 1t is said the thieves are
known to have fed and there is little
hope of effecting their capture, while
there is possibility of recovering the
jewels, which may have been pur-
chased by an INSCRIPTIONS dealer In
the hope Of making large profits after
the search had become lax.
Authorities Of principal European
centers also are at work on the case.

watching the effect of the memOran

Macedonia They fear that 1t may ex-
cite popular opinion in Bulgaria and
point out that such emphatic, out
spoken criticism is usually reserved
for manifestos issued on the eve of
war. although it is regarded as being
quite improbable that the memoran'
DUN was prelude In the present case
to anything more serious than in.
creased tension.
Most of the diplomatic representa-.
tives at Sofia visited the foreign office
here during the day and received as.
surances from the foreign minister
that Bulgaria had not the slightest de.
sire to antagonize Turkey or any othei
power, but merely wished to show I'm.
mistakeably where the responsibility
for the Macedonian revolution be-
longed.

Ought not to mean growing weak and
feeble. 1t does not mean weakness or
feebleness for those who eat with good
appetite and sound digestion. 1t is OF
the utmost importance that old people
should retain the power to digest and
assimilate food which is the sole source
of physical strength. When age brings
feebleness it is generally because OF the
failure to assimilate the nutrition con-
tanned in food.

feet digestion and assimilation of food.

RetroSpection.

A phase Of the manner in which
newspapers became enshrined in fam
lilies is illustrated in this brief sketch.
Years ago when Michael Michaels be-
came a resident Of this county, he be-
came subscriber of the PLAIN DEAL
Err and SO continued to the time Of his
death. In the meantime on his farm
near Forenceville he had reared a
family consisting Of several sons and
a daughter, who became the wife OF
DR.. Will ]. Berringer, now residing at
Council Bluffs. The sons grown to
manhood, married, and living on farms
in the imme ediate vicinity, on leaving
the parental home, became subscrib-
ers to the PLAIN DEALER, five of
whom for several years have been its
patrons, and now the sixth member
OF the family as indicated by the fol-
lowing letter from DR.. Berringer, of
April 4th:
Enclosed find 81. for which please
send me your Semi Weekly PLAIN
DEALER for one year.
My wife says that it is the ';Old Re-
table, and Howard county's standby
since 1859. She thinks it is the only
paper published, having read it from
childhood up it seems like a letter
from home. My wife has been at me
time and again to subscribe for "her
paper" as she calls it. We keep NOV
ing around trying to find an ideal
place to make it our future home. So
far we have not found it. 1 suppose
we will finally land in Cresco. My
wife thinks that Cresco is the only
town in Iowa. must say that Cresco
is the incest town Of its size in Iowa,
Furthermore it has the incest class of
people OF Its size in the state. The
1only objection / have to northeastern
Iowa is the cold winters. II the win
ters were as pleasant as the people,
every thing would be O. T."
