diate family of Thaw, especially his
aged mother, on the other, becmes

WATSON 0'kEAL
WILL GET PLUM
The Sixth Ward Councilman
Will be Member of Board
of Works.
SELECTION is APPROVED
MAYoR-ELEcT scHiLLINGER SAT.
IsFIEs REPUBLICANS IN GENER.
AL BY THE cHoIcE-WERE
MANY OTHER AsPIRANTS.

1t is said to have been determined
by Mayor Schillinger and his political
advisory board, that Watson O'Neal,
member of the council from the Sixth
ward, is to be the Republican mem.
ber of the new Board of Works, that
will begin it's service on Septembe., /.
Some OF the close friends of the in
coming administration have had this
information for some time past but
1t has only been within the past day
or so that the fact leaked out that
Mr.. O'Neal's appointment to a place
on the board is absolutely assured.
There have been strenuous endeavors
made by several other well-known
Republicans to land this coveted po-
sition and petitions signed by scores
Of Republicans have been prepared in
the hope that pressure of this sort
might avail.
Came Unsolicited.
1t is understood that Mr. O'Neai's
selection was unsolicited by him,
though some of his friends were ac-
tive. At the time the petition was
put in circulation asking the mayor
elect to name Mr.. O'Neal, his selec-
ton had already been determined up
on though the fact was not known
even to Mr.. O'Neal nor to his closest
friends.
The choice of the incoming Demo
cratic mayor will meet with approval
generally. Mr.. O'Neals Republican,
ism has never been questioned and
he has displayed ability in council
that shows him to be eXcellen:ly
qualified for the place. Mayor-elecs
Schillinger, it is asserted, will an
nounce the entire makeup of his
official family some weeks prior to en-
tering upon his duties.

st. Petersburg, July 22-(s, a.
m.)-lt Is reported upon the best
OF authority that the days off the
Oouma are numbered, and that
the decree, prepared ten days
ago dissolving IL and which has
waited ever since the signature
Of the Gar, has now been signed
and the promuleation is but
awaiting certain events which. are
expected to transpire within the
next "a hours.
A council Is In progress In the
Palace at Peterhof at which there
are present the Gar and all Of
his reactionary advisers. It has
been In progress for nine hours
and 1t is understood that all Of
the consequence that would fol.
low the promulgation Of the de-
cree have been carefully can
vassed. The result must soon be
known.
Since noon on Saturday regi-
ment after regiment Of infantry
has filed into the city and has as
silently taken up the place as
signed to It by the commanding
officers. What 1t means no one
knows, but the inference is that
the "oowers that be" are prepar-
ing for a conflict with any one
that may dispute the "power Of
the Gar"
II is absolutely announced that
the date set for the general strike
has heen set for. August 18 by the
Union of Unions. Why this delay
is deemed necessary is at present
unknown as all of the leaders OF

st. Petersburg, July 21.-It can be
stated upon the authority Of a men,
Der of the court that although the
victory of the reactionaries seems at
present to be complete. neither the
Socialists nor the Terrorists have ac-
cepted the situation and while the
people are apparently completely
overawed by the display Of force on
the part of the authorities it will be
necessary to continue the rule of the
bayonet" for some time to come. In
fact General Trepoff himself Is au-
thority for the statement that he was
again been warned that he Is marked
for assassination. Despite this fact he
continues actively in evidence, al
though at all times surrounded by a
heavy armed guard.
y Socialists Active.
The Socialistic members OF the
Douma have held a number of secret
meetings, but so far they have re-
Trained from carrying out. their avow-
ed intention of issuing special proc.
lamation attacking the Car. the reac-
tionary element. and more especially
their former allies to constitutional
demands If they do SO trouble must
come. The Car is now more fully de-
termined than ever that he is master
( of the situation. The triumyerate,
Pobiedonostzeff, Pognatieff have him
completely under their thumbs and
they have thoroughly impressed upon
him that concessions at this time
will end forever monarchial rule in
Russia Their will is law and Pobfe-
donostzeff is more than ever The
power behind the throne"
The display of cowardice on the
part of the Douma. which followed
the presence in the city of the enor-
nous masses of troops sent in by
Trepoff for that very purpose has
greatly disheartened those who be-
lieve that through the Douma was to
come the dawn of a new era for the
down trodden in the Russian empore.
Although the military may continue
In control it is a certain fact that out
RACES against prominent Russians
will be even more frequent than in
the past. The Terrorists are already
planning a campaign of assassination
which has for its ultimate object the
death of every prominent reactionary
from the Car down. Trepoff Is. OF
course, the one shining mark.

The above letter was yesterday re-
ceived by County Clerk Haas and af-
ter consulting the records of the Of
fee and finding that the allegation of
Mrs. Wilson was correct in part at
least, he communicated with Prosecu-
tor Jessup who will investigate. Mrs.
Wilson's maiden name according to
the marriage record book, was Hattie
Duffy. The license was granted on
May 81, 1908, and the certificate,
signed by the Rev. NJ. S. Marble, at
that time pastor of Grace Methodist
church, shows that the ceremony
was performed as stated by Mrs. Will
son.
Prosecutor Jessup will see that
proper officials in Girard. Kan. are
notified and if Wilson's location can
be fixed and it can be shown that he
was married in Kansas as Mrs. Will
son states and also that he was new
er divorced from his first wife. an
affidavit charging him with bigamy
will result.

BURGLAR LOOTS
MAIN ST. SHOP
D. L. Woods Electrical Supply
Store Target for the
Thieves.
VALUABLE STOCK TAKEN
APPROXIMATELY $3.50 WORTH OF
ELECTRICAL SUPPLIES WERE
TAkEN-No CLUE TO THE Gull.
TY PERSONS.

After prying open a ~..-avw, that
opens into blind alley on one
side of the building, burglars entered
the electrical supply store of Dan L.
Wood, 1925 Main street, during Fri
day. night, and stole electrical attach
ments and fixtures valued at $3.50. The
robbery was reported to the police de-
partmenta yesterday, but no clue has
been found, although an investigation
was begun at once.
Evidently. the work was done by
professionals or some one we'll &C
quainted with the methods of burgla
ry Enough material of various kinds
was stolen to stock up a small estab
lishment Mr.. Wood took an inven
tory of the property stolen which is as
follows:
100. Small Sockets.
40, Rosettes.
2 Chandeliers.
l Portable brass lamb.
10 Knife switches.
20 Snap switches.
$500 feet copper wire.
Several extension plugs.
Besides this quantity of brass
goods for use in making chandeliers
was taken.
One of Long List.
The burglary is but another of the
long list that has been accumulating
within recent months. Last winter
a number of homes were entered and
jewelry, money and small articles OF
value taken. In almost every instance
a report was made to the police and
assistance asked, but with no results
The work was continued during the
past spring and despite the efforts OF
the police department to locate clues
nothing has ever resulted and no ar.
rests were made. 1t was the opinion
of the police that the work was that
of amateurs or home talent. A mum.
Der of boys. whose names happen to be
on the black list at police headquar-
ters, were called before the authorities
at various times, but that was as far
as matters proceeded.
Work of Professionals.
In the case of the robbery OF the
Wood store. it appears that the am
ateur theory must be abandoned. Mr..
Wood holds the opinion that his place
was robbed by some one who is we'll
acquainted with the business. He
stated last night that he thinks pro-
fessional electrical thieves did the
work. He does not have any idea
that an effort will be made to dispose
of the fixtures in this city, but IT
would be an easy matter to box them
up and ship them out OF the city.
There is no mark of Identification of
any kind on the goods and they would
not be hard to dispose OF.

The Queen Who Works.

Elizabeth, queen of Roumanla,
known to all the world as Carmen
SYLVIA" is taking a characteristic step
to encourage the Industries of her
peasant subjects.
Following the example of the Irish
ladies of rank who have held exhibit
lions of the handiwork of their peo-
pie, Queen Elizabeth is organizing a
public display of the beautiful textile
fabrics for which ROumania was once
celebrated.
With this end in view the queen is
sending agents all over the country to
bring about a revival of the beautiful
silks and as practical incentive she
has had a loom set up in one of the
rooms of the palace and seated at this
she daily tolls as a royal object lesson.
Queen EliZabeth's attachments in
handicraft are as remarkable as those
in the Lines of music, literature and
art. At the exposition held in Paris
in 1900 some of the finest and most
beautiful embroidery in the Roumanian
section was made by Carmen Syl-
VIA" who received a gold medal.
