Cedar Falls, June 15.-The board of
trustees of the State Normal school
fear that the military department will
be dispensed with. Nothing has been
heard from the government lately in
regard to the regulations. They say it
will be impossible to give the time to
the drills that the government requires
under the new regulations and the stu
dents rather favor the physical train-
ing in preference to the military work.
Major Olmstead expects to be returned
to Des Moines to take charge of the
work there, and If he is and the gov
eminent does not rescind the order for
six hours drill each week. the depart
ment will be dispensed with.

Des Moines, June ia great deal
of interest is taken here in the story
published Sunday from Marinette, Wis.
to the effect that DR.. c. H. Hoffman,
of this city. about whom there has been
a great deal of mystery, is none other
than Prince Rudolph, of Austria. While
there are few people who really believe
there is anything in the story, yet peo-
pie have romance and mystery and
the mystery in DR.. Hoffman's life re-
mains unsolved. There are many things
that lend color to the theory that Hoff-
man might be the prince he is sup
committed suicide and was buried with
royal honors. The suspicion that the
prince never killed himself and substi-
tuted corpse not his own and made
his way to America has long been
abroad.
When seen by reporter DR.. Hoffman
said the story was preposterous.
1T is a. mystery TO me how such a
preposterous story could be started OF
course there is not the least vestige of
truth in It, In the first place, am
but 3S years of age IL Prince Rudolph
We're alive today he would be SO years
of age. He was fully my age when
he met his tragic death in the hunting
lodge fifteen years ago. AS TO the state
ment that he did not commit suicide or
was not found dead, that is all fool
ishness, too, for he was buried directly
after the discovery of the body. His
tory will tell you that. He was buried
under the walls of Hapsburg, with all
honors, military and otherwise, due
one of royal blood, and of course the
body was fully identified. 1t is true

was struggled out of the country after

The Verdict of the People.

The American people are broad
gagged and liberal-minded. They are
ready to hear any remarks. listen to
any song. read any book, try anything
new, and they pass their verdict
promptly and infallibly. Anthing that
becomes popular is good. and nothing
can become popular that is not good.
The people never make mistake
Newspaper advertising will induce the
readers to try anything that's adver-
tised,-once. Merit does the rest. A

Injunction No. 7.1I-+4.

The persistence of the Stark Eiec-
tric company deserves reward. If dis
couragement is the legitimate dover
of any corporation it belongs to this
company. Injunction after injunction
has impeded and forestalled the con-
struction of this line; it has been tied
up by litigation, tangled in red tape
and robbed by selfishness and avarice
But in spite OF all this it has forged
ahead. Its progress has been slow.
even sluggish at times, but it has never
faltered The latest obstacle thrown
across the Stark company's right-of-
way is an injunction suit brought by
the Wheeling and Lake Erie railway
company. The railroad claims that the
electric line will damage ii by crossing
its tracks at Maple avenue. IL the
railroads OF the country were damaged
each time they are crossed by an cleo
trio car line, what a depreciation Of
values we would have! Az matter
OF fact the only damage such an inter-
section causes is to the railway cCm-
pany's feelings. In case Of this kind
the feelings of the Wheeling are enti-
tied to no consideration. The Stark
company deserves to get into Canton
II has long since demonstrated the
integrity of its purpose. Every citi'
zen OF the county is anxious to see
the first car run between this city and
Alliance. Now in the face of all OF
this, will the courts procrastinatc this
matter any further? The suit of the
Wheeling should be thrown out as
should all others which seek only to
delay and embarrass the men, who are
anxious to give the county new in
terurban line, line that Is bound tc
be a big benefit to Canton as we'll as a
sreat blessing to our neighbor city on

The pitchfork has been temporarily
laid aside for the assassin's bullet.
Lieut.. Gov. Tillman, true to the ruff
tian traditions of his house, has made
cowardly attack upon Mr.. Gonzales,
the editor of the Columbia State, q
newspaper which had thwarted his am
bitlon. His father, 1t is said, was a

some months ago distinguished himself
by brutally assaulting a colleague on

is the person who at that time offered
insult to the president of the United
States because the president, recogniz-
ing the senate's suspension OF his un-
Gle, corrected his official dinner lis.

The "Iiired. Girl" Probl G m.

Mayor Hinkle, OF Columbus, upon
being pressed yesterday to appoint a
new director of public works to re-
place an official, who has lost his po-
Bition through an custer suit. said:
II am great deal more Interested
In securing hired girl just now than
In finding n new director of law or
lodging service ON custer suits. Yes.
we had a girl out at my house, but we
discharged her three weeks ago and
have not found successor yet ana
ny wife has been doing her own work,
| can find q dozen law directors, but
Aot one hired girl"
And the mayor is right. Politicians
are plentiful but hired girls are few
md far between. A good hired girl
IN this age and generation is a rare
wis. People are willing to pay fair
prices and make all sorts of conces-
Bions, but it is no go. The girls pre-
fer factories to Observation-Disclosures
to cook stoves. In city like Canton,
where a diversity of manufacturing af-
fcrds plenty of opportunity for fem
lnine employment, the servant girl
question becomes very difficult of So
iutio.n Local manufacturers who en-
ploy hundreds OF women in their fac,
tories cannot secure u single recruit
for their households. The few do
mestics, who remain on the market
are so affected by the demand that
their independence knows no bounds
and their actions brook no interfer-
ence. Naturally they are likely to re-
main only a short time at one station

itself upon the possession of a per

part that the supply ard price of coal
in New York will not be materially
improved by the repeal Of the tariff

be very small in comparison with the
demand Moreover, British coal, plus
the ocean freight, cannot be brought
to this port for much less than the
50 or $40 ton which our own an
thracite coal now costs. The dealers
believe that long before it can reach
us in any considerable quantity the
Pennsylvania product will be plenti-
frl at much lower prices. "If," says
one Of them, "the coal duty had been
taken off four months ago it would
have been of some benefit. New
