A Mixed-up Case.

Chicago, Ills, Sept. 14.-Judge Ole
land has given up trying to solve Miss
Tillie Nolan's identity, and dismissed
the case.
Several years ago John Klimovicz
saw Tillie Nolan on the street and en-
braced her. She had him arrested.
Klimoyicx maintained she was bis
wife. She declared she never saw
him before. In the trial Klimovicx
produced his mother-in-lsw and sister-in
law, Mrs. Mary Zamsles, and her
daughter, OF Grand Rapids. Miss Nolan
produced mother and father, Mrs. Oscar
Tolano, of Chicago, and Rev. Erickson
of EscansbO Mich. Mrs. Females and
her daughter embraced Miss Nolan in
court and called her "sister and daugh-
ter" Mr.. and Mrs. Nolan declared the
others were either badly mistaken, crszy
or parties to plot. Rev. Erickson iden-
titled the young woman as the Tillie
Nolan baptized in his church and Henry
Hammerston declared that during the
time Klimoyicz charges he was married
to her in Grand Rapids. he was counting
Mills Nolan in Chicago. KlimOvicz left
declaring he would employ private de-
tectiyes TO prove his claim to the girl.
He contends he will bring into play as a
final proof the evidence Of q mole on the
young woman's shoulder. Miss Nolan
declares she has no such mark, and a
woman writer who made al examination
corroborated her.

indianapolis, Iud., Sept l4.-Vice
President Charles w. Fairbanks today
gave to the United Press what is prob
ably his first political interviewer
tainly his first since he has been in the
lime light as a presidential possibility.
Vice President Fairbanks believes that
public officials from president down
should keep in touch with the masses.
The highest interests of the American
people are common interests "We must
go up or down together. Lsbor's in
terest in making of our welfare is greater
than capitals. The man is dull indeed
who believes the people waking up to
their lights and wrongs eau be smOthered.
No one can rightfuIly reproach Presi-
dent Roosevelt for his prompt enforce
ment of the laws. Prosperity is the
paramount issue; there is always enough
hard times to go around. "
