TAFT TO VISIT ROYALTY
PLANS MADE FOR HIM TO sEE
KAISER AND KING.
His Coming Meeting with the German
Ruler Causes Stir in OFFICIAL
Europe.

Berlin, Nov. emperor William
during his visit to England will see
Secretary Taft at Osborne house, Isle
OF Wight. A message conveying this
wish was sent through the German
embassy at Washington, it being un-
derstood that Mr.. Taft has finally de-
cided to return to the United States
by way OF Europe. It is regarded as
likely that Mr.. Taft will also seek an
audience with King Edward, as for the
American secretary of war to visit
the German emperor on British soil
without paying equivalent respect to
the king might be regarded as dis
courteous.
So much has been said about Mr.,
Taft planning to see the emperor that
some of the other governments have
seemingly become curious in regard
to whether anything is intended by the
step taken by the American govern
ment. Ambassadors Bryce and JUS
serand, 1t is asserted here, already
have made inquiries on the subject at
the state department at Washington,
and 1t Is further asserted that there il
q feeling at the foreign offices In Lon
don and Paris that Mr. Taft would be
sighting King Edward and President
Fallieres If he did not ask to see them
on his way home or If he stopped orly
at st. Petersburg and Berlin while on
his way back to the United States.
Washington, Nov. 9.-Cable advices
received at the war department FRI
day confirm the recent press dis
patches from Manila of Secretary
Taft's intention to return to the United
States by way of Asia and Europe.
Secretary Taft left Manila Saturday
morning on the flagship Rainbow Of
Admiral Hemphill's squadron for Vlad.
ivostok. The following cahlegrams
regarding the secretary's movements
were received Friday from Rrig.-aeH,
Edwards, who is accompanying Mr.,
Taft on his trip: "Manila-Will take
advantage of the fall cruise of Hemp
hills squadron to so on his ship to
Vladivostok tomorrow. One OF tho

The ships accompanying the Rain
bow will be the Galveston and the
Chattanooga. The latter will touch
at Nagasaki November IA for any
cable communication which may be
awaiting the secretary at that place.
At the war department. to-day 1t was
said that nothing had been received
from Secretary Taft respecting his
itinerary.
A brilliant farewell reception was
given to Secretary Taft Friday night

AND NOW IT'S CHICO CIGARS.
Interesting Talk b. P. A. Clemmer
On What Makes Cigar Popular.

The remarl,at,e srccass of Wads-
worth Bros s.il.coc meeting into
the mouths of smokes IN Cresco is
astonishing.
Less than year ago the Chico was
unknown here. To-day, it is the most
popular cigar in P. A.Clemmer's large
stock.
Advertising alone will not make
cigar popular, said Mr.. Clemmer. "a
cigar must be good to meet with sale
in this city. LIDO not know of town
where the smokers ase as discriminat-
ing as they are in Cresco, and the fact
that they have made Wadsworth Bros.
Chico their favorite, speaks volumes
for its quality. While it sells for &C.,
it is better than the average ten CEN
ter, so that it reaches all classes of
smokers. 1t is an all long Havana filled
cigar, and a good one, that am glad
to recommend to my customers.

sweeping over the territory from
north Of Angus to a point a few miles
north Of this city. The entire heavens

the suicidal mania that has pervaded this
city during the past week. during which
twelve women have attempted to take
their lives, five others tonight drank
poison by mutual agreement One of the
latter-Grace Howard-is expected TO die.
and her companions were saved from The
same fate only by the heroic efforts Of
the physicians.
Last nights victims Of the strange epi-

death with a calmness and precision that
gave thorough evidence Of their deter
mination TO carry out the desperate re-
solve that they had made.
Their plans were well laid, and the
death compact would have been carried

mutual friend OF all discovered the five
women unconscious in the one room. Her
alarm brought speedy assistance. and all
were taken at once TO a local hospital
On regaining consciousness, one of the
women confessed to the suicidal COM
pact, and said that they had drunk chic
ride of mercury.
The cause OF the epidemic of suicide
in Bristol is complete mystery to the
authorities here, and the fact that only
women have attempted to take their lives
during the period only compIicates the
mystery
