There Is whole lot of political

perhaps no one is being discussed as

some time ago was suggested to head
the republican ticket for governor
There seems also to be cons iderable
evidence which shows the colonel Is

and the colonel is not letting any

1t was stated today that Ridpath
has been around to all the wards
arranging for a campaign with a
scheme as deep as though city
election was on. In getting men out
in all parts of the city to sing his
praises the public will eventually
come to look upon the colonel as a
two-time winner and think he can't
lose.

Pretty Young Wife Is the

Troubles.

BERLIN, Jan. IA miniature
Humbert case is just now a subject of
much discussion in certain Berlin cir
Giles. Professor Moritz Meyer, IS years
of age, and his pretty wife who is
40 years younger, have been arrested
on charges of obtaining goods and mon
ey under false pretenses, and also with
perjury and procuring. Dr. Meyer,
who was formerly lecturer on politi-
cal economy at the technical high
school at Charlottenburg, and is, be-
sides, a well-known author, was mixed
up in the Cassel and Leipsic bank
failure. Two years ago he married his
present wife who was then a music nall
artistic. The unequally- matched pair
began their married life by contract
ing large debts, and it is alleged that
the young wife obtained large amounts
of jewelry on credit from fashionable
shops in Berlin. She was always ele-
gantly dressed and it is stated that she
could obtain anything on credit at the
best milliners and dressmakers. At
their elegant home-also furnished on
credit-they entertained most lavish
ly. Now the crash has come and scores
of shopkeepers and tradesmen and sew
eral bankers as well have found they
were but the dupes of pair of clev-
er swindlers who did not hesitate at
any means to crafty their luxurious
tastes.

where he witnessed all the horrors of
the Iriquois fire, In speaking to The
Press this morning he said:
When l left Chicago a few days

In the theater happened. The ordi-
nances are very strict on the matter

paid no attention to existing affairs
until the great fire took place. Every

themselves have now gone to the
other extreme and are passing ordi-
nances that are foolish in the ex-
treme.
