Opinion Offered to Our Readers at
Greatly Reduced Rate.

Last year we secured the exclusive
right for an exceptionally low club
bling rate for the Chicago Daily
Tribune and sent in large number
of subscriptions. This year we have
been trying hard to get the same rate,
and have been successful in getting
the following proposition. which will
be good only during the months of
November and December. This rate
enables us to make the following offer.
which cannot be excelled anywhere for
good home and general reading:

tnnity to secure two such papers for

The Public Opinion is accorded first
place among the papers of Winnesheik
county in circulation, in the quality
aud quantity of it's news service, and
in giving the news before it is seen in
any other paper. 1t is growing steadi-
ly. Here is splendid opportunity to
get the two best for very little money.
THESE will supply any family with
all the local and general news of the
country the whole year. Take up this
proposition and you will never regret
it, What better present could you
make your friends and relatives than
a daily paper like the Tribune every
day and a good paper like Public
Opinion covering all the news of the
county every week? We want to say
that there is not cent of profit in
this offer for Public Opinion, but we
are prompted to make it from desire

| WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.-THE birth
Of the republic of Panama and its rec
ognition by this government was the
subject of spirited debate in the
house. Mr.. Dinsmore Dem, Ark
during consideration of the pensions
appropriation bill, severely criticised
the administration in connection with
the canal and Mr.. Hit (Rep., Ill
chairman of the foreign affairs com
mittee, replied in vigorous defense of
the president and his Central Ameri-
can policy. Mr. Williams of Mlssissip-
pi the minority leader, replied to Mr..
Hit, declaring that the minority did
not condone the part taken by this
government In connection with Pana-
ma affairs.
Mr.. DinsmOre said the republic of
Panama had been established and ex-
lists by the power of the United States.
and without that power it could not ex-
list. Nothing had. he said, been gained
that could not have been gained in a
straightforward and honorable way.
Mr. Hit said there was nothing hasty
or unique in the recognition of the new
republic, as it occurred five days after
the PRONUNCIATION of the independence
OF the republic
Mr. Williams asked II this was not
the first time in South American histo-
ry that the other fellow had been pre-

Mr.. Hit replied that he had seen it
stated in the press, but did not know it
TO be so. but said that troops could be
sent to Colon only to interfere with
trafic on the isthmus and that the
United States is undor obligation to
prevent interruption Of this traffic.

NORDICA'S DIVORCE.
Musical World Surprised by
Suit Of Great Vocalist.
WANTS HEX FREEDOM At AMI COST
Hungarian Tenor DOeme, Husband
of Famous Artist. Said to Have
Become Infatuated with = Pa
rIsian Singer OF Note.

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-The musical
world, already greatly shocked by the
news that Nine Lillian Nordica has
sued her husband, Zoltan Doeme, fa-
n+Is Hungarian tenor for divorce, will
be still more surprised TO learn that the
principal correspondent named in the
case is said to be one of the most cele-
brated singers who ever appeared in
! opera or concert in this city.
Because of the prominence OF this
woman in the world of music ard art
and her conspicuous position before the
public at the present time every effort
Is being made to keep her name out Of
the case
Nine. Nordica and the correspondent
were formerly great friends Under
Maurice Grau they shared honors at
the Metropolitan Opera House for sew
eral seasons, and their attachment for
one another was matter Of remark,
1t was a year ago that Nine. Nordica
FIRST noticed the growing friendship be-
tween her husband and her friend. For
awhile she thought nothing of it; then
when further evidence of an intimacy
between them came to her she could no
longer stave Off the inevitable and con-
fronted her husband with her suspi-
eiOns. Herr Doeme denied the charge
declaring that it was a libel on a good
woman, but when Nine. Nordica pre-
sented her proofs her husband shriv.

in Paris.
Nine Nordica never had n chance TO
face her rival, for that woman. warned,
ii is said. by Doeme, soon went to Paris
herself. In Parts the intimacy between
Doeme and the woman was matter of
comment. They We're seen much to-
gether and made very little secret Of
their close friendship.
Nine Nordca's furious jealousy,
which developed when she first dlscov-
cred the truth, gave way to an immov-
able resolution to be free at any cost,
even the cost OF her husbands and her
former friends regulations
The rumor that Mime. Melba was the
artist named in the suit has been de.
MED by both Nine. Nordica and Mime.
Melba
The two singers have been friends
for years. They are each too great to
be rivals and have never been such.
When Nine. Nordica first determined
to bring action against her husband for
divorce she consulted her friend Melba
and received her sympathy and friend
ly~tears as a solace in her time of trou-
BILE.
DOeme and his wife appeared to be a
very happy couple. Nine. Nordlca
seemed proud of his good looks and his
fine voice, and he seemed very proud of
Der. Their domestic life was said to be
ideal and was the admiration of the
Metropolitan Opera House set for sew
eral seasons

the reason that there is bound to be a
