MAD PURSUIT Of tovEs|ck WIDOW
SHE FOLLOWS MAN SHE LOVES
everywhere AND He LOSES
GOLD MINE.

CHICAGO, Dec. 13.-The Chronicle
today says that the story of a man
who has travelled half way around the
world and most of the distance on foot
to escape the wiles of a woman who
he asserts has matrimonial aspirations
in which he figures as the prospective
husband was unfolded tt the Chica-
go police yesterday.
The tale in which a flight from the
United States to Germany, and back to
this country again was included, was
related by John Novatne, half-owner
of a gold mine near Prescott, Ariz.
NOvatne arrived in Chicago with but
Is cents in his pocket after having
walked all but seven miles of the dis
lance from New York. He is now Sc
years Of age; first came to the United
States in 1897, and went Immediately
asserts, he later acquired a half in
terest in n of the largest mines in
that section. Then, according to his
story he returned to Austria. where
he recounted his good fortune to
relatives and friends. Again he came
to the United States, but upon his
second return to his native country
Novatne's love affair began, as did also
his subsequent financial misfortunes.
Il was in a cafe at Paris one night
he said yesterday, when 1 made the
acquaintance of a young woman-a
widow-who at once fell desperately in
love with me. I returned the affection
at the time, but l soon grew suspi-
cious, for she asked so many personal
questions. She wanted to know the
value of my mine, and wanted to know
exactly how much money 1 was
worth, then she SUDDENLY proposed
marriage. 1 was surprised at the offee,
but h insisted. I will marry you
whether you like it or not she said,
but 1 decided right there that there
would be no marriage, so I left"
The miner then told of his flight
through various European countries,
and Of the pursuit Of the widow. Fin
ally he embarked on an American
York last October. The day after land
ing, he learned for the first time, he
said, that the other person interested
in his mine had defrauded him out of
his share and had sold the property to
a corporation.
The once wealthy and much sought
after, passed the night on a cot at a
municipal lodging house. Today he
| says he will resume his long walk to
Arizona, where he will seek to regain
possession of his mine.

LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 13.-Because

divorce here.
Mrs. Eaton, who lives in Cody, Wyo.,
is willing to be a friend and sweetheart
to her husband, but not a wife, &C
cording to a letter n wrote him,
which he introduced.
In this letter h said in part: III
we could live and work together as
friends and lovers 1 would gladly wish
to be with you again. Unless you get
a divorce We can never do So"
Later Mrs. Eaton wrote her husband
another letter along the same lines.
She said she wanted to correspond with
him till they meet again. h assert
ed that she will not marry again, al
though she says she has found a noble
man who is lovable and kind to her
and believes just as she does.

more" she wrote. There is a higher
law than the law of church or man.

APPLETON, Wis, Dec. 13.-When
Miss May Carter. preceptress at Orms-

renee university, entered the attic OF
the building at 1880 p. m. she found
twenty-five co-eds in the room. The
rules require all lights to be out and
the girls in bed at 1880.
When the p%receptress made the
rounds of the building shortly after

teen minutes later twenty-five young
women noiselessly slipped out of their
beds up to the attic, where they lighted
candles and began to prepare a
spread"
All were seated on the floor in a cir
Gle. One girl blew out the candle, at
the same time throwing a sheet over
her head. When her companions saw
what was seemingly a ghost several
screamed and one girl almost tainted.
Miss Carter heard the noise, and twen-
ty-two suspensions are the result.

WHY NOT RAISE FLAX FOR SACKS
WOULD MAKE BETTER BAGS
WHICH COULD BE SOLD
CHEAPER TOO.

CORVALLIS, Ors. Dec. 13.-Appro-
DOS Of the high priced wheat~sacks of
this season, and Of the agitation rela-
tive to a state jute mill, there Is a be-
lief at the Oregon experimental sta
ton that the situation might be mater
tally aided by encouraging flaxseed
production. The fiber from the flax
straw would furnish material for grain
bags and mop cloth, the seed would
go for oil and certain of the ~bi-products
could be used in the manufacture of
paper.
DIR. Withycombe Is Of the opinion
that such a plan would go a long way
In aid of the solution of the present
situation and at the same time estab-
lish a useful and very profitable indus
try. He said:
There is no doubt that the Will
lamette valley will produce as gne fiber
as can be grown n the world. Out OF
this possibility there ought to be a
means of aiding the solution Of the
grain sack and mop cloth question. The
fiber from the flax straw, If grown
coarse enough, would be a good substi-
tute for jute as raw material for grain
sacks.
1.-THE jute production is in the hands
of a trust, and we shall probably con-
tinue to be at the mercy of the cor
poration. The production of flax as a
substitute would be in the hands OF
the farmers. BY introducing varieties
of flax that will yield heavy, coarse
straw in large quantities it Is possible
to obtain a yield Of from 500 to 1000
pounds of flax per acre. The seed has
it's own value in the oil mills and here
is a by-product Of value to the paper
mills. the by-product from the seed
largely increased as it would be. would
be of inestimable value to the dairy
interests Of the state.

Judge Wade Not Candidate For Con-
gress This Yer.

In an authorized interview Judge
Wade announced last week that he
positively will not be a candidate for
congress this year, and that he will
not under any circumstances accept
nomination for that OF any other
office.
The Judge has spent twelve of the
best years OF his life in the service
Of the public and no doubt feels that
for Il time at least he should devote
his energies to his private interests
where he can better provide forthose
dependent upon him.
The Judge believes, however, that
the Second District will be redeemed
this year and that it will remain de-
mocratic while democracy stands for
a square deal between rich and
poor-between farmer and manu-
facturer-a square deal between the
laborer who bears the heat and bur
den Of the day, and the employer
who profits by his toll"

The lndianola Herald does not
favor the state wide primary law
and gives the result of four years
trial of it in Warren county. 1t says:
The farmers Of Iowa should study
their interests politically very closely
before urging the passage of a state
wide primary law. Warren county
is probably a fair sample of its re-
suits which in four years filled our
court house with men from Indian
,ola. A State primary would soon
result in filing the Capitol building
with Des Moines citizens for that
city could give its candidates such a
vote that it would be hard to over
come it in the state. 1t would oper.
ate in the interests Of the cities to
say the least. Warren county tried
the primary system for four years
and at the end Of that time the farm
ers rose up and smashed it into
small pieces. The case of the revolt
was the fact Of the county seat get
ting all the Offices, result sure
follow the primary plan in the ma
-jority of the counties of Iowa. A
state wide primary law would in a
few years fill all the offices in both
state and counties with men from
the cities and larger towns Of the
state. The farmers will not be in it
under that system.

Serious Differences Between France and
Germany.

AS the date. for the forthcoming
conference regarding Morocco
draws near, the relations between
France and Germany become more
hostile. Both nations are said to be
making preparations for a possible
resort to arms At the present time
France has or claims to have special
rights in northwestern Africa.
These rights are recognized by Great
Britain and denied by Germany.
Great Britain is believed to be in a
position to prevent an, open rupture
between France and Germany. Eng
land has already warned the Kaiser
that he must not attempt any grab
game in Morocco, and that if he
does not heed the warning, Great
Britain will support the French con-
tentions. England is willing that
Germany shall have equal trade re-
lations with all other countries in
Morocco, but no right to land Ger
man soldiers in that country for any
purpose. France and Great Britain
do not intend to permit the Kaiser's
army to occupy any part of the coun-
try south of the straits Of Gibraltar.
