ENGLISH PRINCESS ROYAL.
The Person Of the Duchess of Fife is
Sacred

The Person Of the Duchess of Fife is
Sacred.
The position OF princess royal OF
England, which the duchess of Fife
eldest daughter of King Edward, has
recently attained, is very high one
Her person is sacred. To strike her
would be high treason, the same as in
the case of the king, queen, and
prince of Wales.
Since James of Scotland stepped
over the border and made a triumph
ant progress to London, where his
dead kinswoman Elizabeth was lying
in state, very few daughters of Eng
lish monarchs have been born prin.
cess royal. To speak correctly, the
number is but three, and those are the
eldest daughters of Charles l., George
III. and of the late Queen Victoria.
The first of these, Mary Stuart, was
born in 1851. and was great grand
daughter to the ill-fated queen Of Scot
land. This princess royal was mar
ried to the prince of Orange at a very
early age, and was conveyed to Hol-
land in 1641, partly for education and
partly to avoid the troubles that were
rolling up SO black and heavy in Eng
land. She and her young husband
were passionately attached to each
other but death snatched him from
her side before their only child-King
William III.-came into the world.
Coming to London to congratulate
her brother, Charles Ill.,, on his restor-
alton, she died there Of smallpox, and
was buried in the vault Of Mary,
Queen of Scots, at Westminster Alb
hey.
From the death of this Stuart
princess royal in 1860 a century pass
ed away before another girl was born
to the dignity. Charlotte Augusta
Matilda was the eldest daughter and
fourth child Of King George Ill, and
his consort, Charlotte of Mecklenburg-
Strelitz and her father had been
reigning six years before her birth
took place, in 1915. In 1897, when
nearly 81 years of age, she was mar
ried to Frederick Charles William of
Wurtemburg. She died widow in
1928.
Twelve years after her decease, Vic
toria Adelaide Mary Louisa, the eldest
child of Queen Victoria and her la
mented consort, was born princess roy
al. She became the wife of Crown
Prince Frederick of Germany and the
mother of the present kaiser.

Two Of the most notable features in
Jack O Briem are his endeavors to car
ny himself as gentleman, and his
Willingness to fight any man with a
reputation so long as there is good
purse in sight. O'Brien, despite his
grasping disposition, is kind-hearted
and often does good turn for some
needy person. Jack receives at least
dozen letters a day from persons
asking financial assistance. When he
finds a needy case he always goes
down in his pockets and helps the suf-
ferer out. Recently Jack was cross
ing the street when he saw a wagon
run over mangey cur belonging to
a newsboy. He picked up the unfor-
tunate canine and pressed it to his
breast like it were child. Then he
took out a costly silk handkerchief
and wiped the mud off the dogs legs
and handed the youthful owner a
g1eenback, telling him to take the dog
to the doctor to have him examined.
The handkerchief which Jack ruined
on the dog was costly present from
Japan, but he never for an instant
stopped to think of the value Of the
article 50 interested was he in the
sufferings of the poor little dog Of the
streets.
OBrien is one of the few fighters
that never wears a sweater In all
his years of training work he has new
Ell put sweater on his back. He is
also adverse to wearing a hat in train
ing, and oftimes when on the road
running like wild in his bare head
people have stared at him like he
was an escaped lunatic. Jack says
all training methods as well as his
style of fighting are original with him,
and he does not pay any attention to
others.

Council Instructs Water Com
mittee to Repair Mill Dam
Near Pumping Station
HOLDS ii HAS RIGHT TO DO so
Legal Opinion That the Injunction
Gives the Council the Privilege to
Maintain Present Dam-Work to Be
Done at city's Expense-only One
Opposing vote-Trouble Threatened.

The mill dam controversy, which
has been in a quiescent state for sew
eral months, pending ruling from the
supreme court, is In prospect of becom-
ing more active than ever. The city
council has made radical move and
at its meeting Monday night instruct
ed the water committee to proceed to
replace and repair the old dam OIL the
property Of George w. LaPlant.
This resolution was adopted on mo-
ton Of Chairman Clark, Of the water
committee, and received the almost
unanimous support of the council be-
cause of the belief that the
dam ds necessary to maintain
the city water supply. The reso-
luton authorizes the committee to
place the dam in the condition it was
when the district court ordered the
gates closed one year ago, the work to
be done at the city's expense. The
committee and the council assume the
position based on a legal opinion from
City Solicitor Burritt, that the city has
the right to repair the old dam, about
half Of which remains in position.
Early in the controversy the city se-
cured an injunction restraining the
owners from removing the dam and
granting the city the privilege of main
tanning 1t in its condition at that time
until such time as the final decision
should be rendered by the court It is
contended that It's removal by natural
causes does not affect the city's rights
to maintain the structure.
Councilman Sieg, one of the heavy
land owners along the river and a
party to the suit to obtain the. dam's
removal, told the council that while
he might be biased, the water superin-
tendent's report showed that the citys
water supply is not endangered, and he
cautioned the council that it might be
dangerous to proceed to spend the pub
lies money. He advised awaiting the
decision of the courts. Other mem
bers Of the council spoke in favor of
proceeding with the work. and all voted
for the resolution excepting Mr. Sieg,
Messrs. Mcdonald and Packer were alb
sent.
According to the report Of superin-
tendent E. q. Mack, submitted at the
meeting, the head of the water in the
gravel beds is at present two feet and
one inch lower than on May / last, and
stands in the wells fifteen inches above
the strainers. The stage of water re-
mains about as it was during; August
and September.
AS the dam is private property and
located. on private land, 1t is quite GER
tain that the plans of the council will
be opposed by the owners.

CLANG Of BUSINESS

City Council Petitioned to De-
clare Night Work in Fac
tory a Nuisance
Ne'eAsoRs CAN NOT REST
Hum Of Industry in the shorthll Shops
Distu,.bs sIeep-obstruetion Of the
Streets and Alleys Also Complained
of-councilmen Smile and Refer
Complaint to the Streets Committee.

Prosperity has u disadvantages ac-
cording to. the complaint laid before
the city council Monday night. The
institution that is too busy to cease it's
noisy operations is the A. e. Shorthill
Company, and citizens residing in the
vicinity of the company's plant who
are not so busy as the employees desire
the opportunity to indulge in slumber
before the unseemly hour of midnight.
A lawyer was on hand at the council
meeting to press the complaint of the
Mclaughlin and other residents of
South Second avenue, and vicinity, was
presented, and the legal rights and du-
ties Of the council were presented, from
the lawyers standpoint. The petition
complains especially of the noises made
at night by the operation Of pneumatic
riveting and other machines, but also
ask the city fathers to require the re-
moval from the streets and alleys adj
jacent to the plant the boilers and iron
which they allege oDstruct the same.
The petitioners ask the city to open to
public travel the alleys surrendered to
the company by a previous council,
some of>which were vacated by ordi-
nance. The attorney representing the
petitioners told the council the city had
no right to vacate the alleys, and fur
therlnore that il the Instructions were
not removed the municipality would be
liable for damages from injuries that
might result to people or teams.
Councilmen Psenicka and Herman
were the only members who deemed
the question one that called for speech
making, the former remarking that he
was glad to know that our institutions
were so prosperous that night work was
necessary. Mr., Herman spoke from
the standpoint OF the petitioners, as he
resides in the neighborhood of the fac
tory. The petition was referred to the
streets and alleys which has jurisdic-
ton over the public thoroughfares, but
will probably not attempt to regulate
the noises penetrating the atmos-
phere.

Thieves some time Monday night,
entered the G. w. McGregor general
merchandise store at Quarry, which
also contains the postoffice, and stole
from the stock goods valued at about
$780, and about $3.50 in money from
the postoffice and store cash drawers.
There Is no clue to the robbery, altho
officers from this city went to the
scene early this morning.
Entrance to the building was gained
by smashing out window pane on the
postoffice side of the building. The
robbers evidently mad plenty of time

was closed at $50 o'clock and was not
opened until 4 o'clock this morning.

May Be Burns Gang.
There is a suspicion that the burg
larry may have been committed by
remnant Of the once famous Burns
gang, which was notorious in central
Iowa a few years ago. A Northwest
ern brakeman reported to the police
Monday morning that he put off his
train between this city and Quarry two
men, whom he recognized as former
members of this gang. Police patroled
the east railroad yards yesterday
morning in search of these men, but
they could not be found. 1t is thought
possible that they may have broken
into the McGregor store.
Put Hounds on Trail.
George McNutt, chief of the Des
Moines detectives, and his pack of
hounds were summoned by the local.
officers this morning. McNutt and the
hounds reached here the middle of this
afternoon, and were later taken to
Quarry, where they were put on the
trail. The officers who were in Quarry
this morning claim they have reason
to believe that the hounds will be able
to run the burglars down.

chased of him and also a sixteen foot
driveway on the north side of this
tract. George w. LaPlant later pur-
chased portion of the adjoining land
and the council, ignorant Of the contract
with Mr.. Long, decided to him without
reservation some of the right Of way.
Failure to fulfill the contract with Mr..
Long will permit two and one-half

extension is located to revert to him,
and he is now demanding his rights.
The solicitor has been instructed to
