private one; but his father lived and when
he heard of it, nearly year aferward he repudated
his sons marriage. That not to be endured.
my girl appealed to St. Petersburg, and her
protest sent back to Prince Ivan Menikoff
who was permitted to judge his own cause His
son engaged with his regiment in a small cam
paign on the Samarkand border Ny daughter
was torn from me, knouted in the streets, pro-
claimed vile creature, and thrust into prison.
There enfeebled with her distress of mind and
body, she contracted smallpox. That was sufficient.
She released distgured and half blind. | left
her this morning, poor blighted woman who is
slowly dying Her sister Vera joined the revolu-
tionaries. Her dead body was found in lake
your house in England many months ago.
Proof? Do such stories of family life in Russian
Province require proof"
Does Prince Boris Me1nikoff know of these
things?" demanded Ermyntrude, and there
a light in her eyes that never before had found
abiding place there.
Again came that gesture of helpless despair.
HE Olga once. 1t suficed!"
And you, her father, have dared to warn me,
to brave his wrath if he discovered your mission!
Why have you done this? | nothing to you.
You cannot hope to be revenged through me-
His features lit with a savage exultaton.
The passion that sprang into his voice almost
frightened her. Through you, mol His fate is
you. Child of a free country, what would you do
in this land? Leave it! 1t is accursed!"
Then l indeed indebted to you'll" she cried.
Il cannot explain each motive of many which
compelled me to seek you. Prince Melnikoff
hitherto has contented himself with spending his
revenues life of pleasure. Now he is about
to rule his faithful people. The existence of my
deserted Olga will not long bar his marriage She
is dying. He knows it, and were she the only
hindrance he would have waited. He does not
fear her Why should he? She is almost blind,
a ruined soul in wasted body. But there are
those whom he does fear and that is why he wishes
to marry you. By the Cars order he is here to
crush them, and his marriage will force their hand.
As for me and my daughter, worthless,
worms to be trodden under foot should we
dare to cross his path
What peril was he foreshadowing? Vaguely
realizing that she had been plucked from the verge
of precipice, Ermyntrude anxious to learn all
that Sassulitch could tell her.
q" In what way do | become a pawn in this
game of which 1 have knowledge?" she
demanded
Ere he could answer the door opened slightly.

with suffering.
Il am glad you
are English" he said without a trace of vehe-
mence in his voice, though her scornful repudia-
ton of his statement we'll might have evoked
remonstrance. Were you a Frenchwonan,
l would not have dared to tell you the TRUTH
for valueless as hold my life, l must not die yet.
But you will not shrek aloud for guards to seize
me- because 1 have risked all in the hope that fur
Their evil may be prevented. You will listen to me.
l give you proof
1t was impossible to resist the conviction that
this man, however mistaken he might be, meant to
do her no harm. His candid admission that he
had gained an entrance to the palace by the help
of confederates his frank recognition of the peril
thus incurred, helped to bring Ermyntrude back
to a state of critical, if somewhat excited, judg-
ment
DO you mean" she said slowly, that Prince
Menikoff has a wife still lving?"
Yes. Had it pleased God to take her from
world of misery, it had been better for her and for
those who love her"
But why should he seek to do me this monstrous
wrong? | village maid whom he can cast
off at pleasure My father is British peer. Prince
Menikoff would be bounded from society were
what you say true"
He threw out his hands to stay her protest
''You do not yet understand me, he cried, 1T is
my daughter whom he wrongs, not you. Your
position is recognized and secured by law. Were
it not so, why should 1 seek to torture you mere
child, with this disclosure? | would go to your
father and count his assistance But under the
Cars edict, you will be Princess Menikoff. When
you older you will know that of the great
ladies of Europe in the category. Your
father might laugh at me- You, a woman, who
may have dreamed that she was loved for her own
sake to whom the thought of another's suffering
would be horrifying may take different view.
He seemed to think that there was some chance
of rank and wealth gaining the day, in the
mind of this innocent girl. He spoke with bitter
acknowledgment of law opposed to justice and
honor Now he did not look at her, but
bent his head between his hands and awaited her
questions, if she had any to ask. This attitude
of hopeless detection appealed to her sympathy.
She longer felt anger or bewilderment. 1t was
borne in her that who had dared much
to her not there to deceive her, but to
make her cognizant of the circumstances purposely
withheld from her in the past.
You spoke of proofs" she said quietly
He raised his head and gave her a mournful
glance Il produce them" he said. My

pcnsive.

Des Moipes. July lone Of the in
terestng things about the biennial
statement OF the board OF control re-
lating to the finances or the thirteen
state institutions. is the variation OF
expense for the same service at the
different institutions.
For instance. salaries nj the SCHOOL
for thetdeaf at Council Bluffs cost the
st:rte $2101g per capita. while At III
dora they amounted to but 5000 per
capita. AT Council Bluffs there were
lSG pupils and nfty-one employees who
got $50, In wages, while at Ell
dora there were 5o3 inmates and six
ty-oue employees getting $i0.i0l,30 in
wages during the biennial period. This
variance comes about because Of the
fact that Council Bluffs n run as u
school, as n matter Of fact. requiring
peculiarly fitted teachers. although. OF
course the number of employees would
not increase IN proportion as the num-
Der Of pupils Increased.

AFTER Gas CONTRACT
Two Rival Companies Will Seek
Privilege Of Furnishing
Gas ut Grinnell
QUESTION OF REGULATION
Home COMPANY Willing to Have the
Maximum Price Named and Seems to
Have the inside Track---oome Talk
of Dollar Gas-counoiI May Decide
Next Monday.
pecial to Times Republican,

Special to Times Republican,
Grinnell July 1.-The propositions
of two rival gas companies which will
be presented to the council next Mon
day night, are the subject of consider
able discussion about town this week.
A. has already been noted in these
columns, the promoter of one of tn.
concerns is O. X. Cole manager Of TIN,
city lighting and heating plants. by
the franchise updcr which these plants
are operated Mr.. Cole, has power to use
the streets md alleys for heating and
lighting purposes. without It's being
stated what the nature OF the systems
used shall be. There Is, therefore, no
legal obstacle in his way. However. he
wishes the city to net on the PROPOSE
ton fixing maximum rate and franz
ing a franchise adapted to the reRula
ton OF 81 city gas plant. Altho he does
not state what he Will recommend as q
maximum rate, 1t was learned thru q
number of the council today that he
was considering IL dollar rate.
Mr.. Cole has been working on his
plans for some time. has secured the
necessary financial backing and is now
reudy to construct plant
1t Is rather Il remarkable coincidence
that on the day when Mr.. Cole first
announced his plans the representative
of another concern. the Northern Gas
CONSTRUCTION Co, with headquarters az
Brooklyn. appeared OH the scene. geek
ing franchise for his concern. They
are at some disadvantage In the mat
ter Of rates, az ii Is understood they
will recommend maximum OF dol
lar and half.
Both companies are absolutely good
financially. aud either would no doubt
give the city a thoroughly sasisfac-
tory and up date plant. Their pc
tItions next Monday will be awaited
with much interest.

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

BY local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness Isl caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have Il rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness Is
the result, and unless the innamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to it's normal condition, hear
inr will be destroyed forever: nine
cases out of ten they are caused by
catarrh, which Is nothing but an in
famed condition Of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

Varies On All Items.

The variance In the cost OF other
supplies is MOI so large AS In the ex-
pense for labor, This is natural be-
cause there are fixed charges for sail
aries which cannot be lessered as long
as nm institution remains open. sh-
perinHeudent. matron, cooX engineer
and scores Of other employees must be
kept on the pay roll whether an M
stitution has ten or n thousand IN
mates. BUT only enough food and
clothing need be bought to supply
those actually IN the institutions
So the variance IN the per capita
cost of provisions IS not large. Vinton
the college for the blind. has the larg-
est. sI2A75 per capita for the two
years of the period. These blind wards
OF the state are entitled to spend more
than other classes. Davenport. which
is home for mere children, spent but
$63.72. Glenwood. where there are
mnny children, expended but $70.32
during the period. But again Eldora
took. the banner expanding but $4S.h"
for food per capita. There are many
mere boys at Eldora, and the girls at
Mitchelvllle consumed only $80bl
Marshalltown old soldiers enjoyed the
greatest expense per capita, next to
the blind, $11693 being spent there.
The Fort Madison convicts are we'll
fed, $113.59 going for provisions there
for each inmate during the period.
Council Bluffs spent $111.83. The av-
erage was $9Q.3G.
The insane hospitals spent less per
capita for clothing than the other in
stitutions Mount Pleasant spent but
| $9.45. Independence. but 1892. Clarnd:.
| but 1922. aud Cherokee ~
shalltown veterans are well clothed
spending $3.50 each for clothes alone
during the period Fort Madison adopt
ed the grade system which ran the
clothing expense to $27.44 each. Glen
wood spent $3.50 and the MITCHELL
vile girls got $31.1S each for clothing.
| The average was almost $40.
| Big Variance in Fuel Bill.
| The fuel and light bill ranged from
| $2s.9S at Eldora to Ss6.2s at Cherokee.
and $sG59 ut Council Bluffs, the aver
age being $54.57.
The per capita expense of the care
! of the wards of the state was greater
at Vinton than any other institution
during the period. 1t went there
to $613S4 Council Bluffs was next at
$574.S7. the average being S372.21.
