incentive to each school to send as
large delegation as possible is the
hope of Mr.. Elliott

Dubuque, Oct. 5.-A romantic chap
life story of an attractive young Jew
eSs of the city, in the return, after
who deserted her as a bride, more than
three long years ago.
Twas lovers quarrel that caused
the separation of Max Macabe and Re-
becca, his bride, after only a few short
months of Joyful! welded life. In the
bitterness Of his heart the husband
left the new little home after the
harsh words had passed between them,
ard went out into the world, seeking
solace for his aching heart. The little
bride watched and waited, her dark
eyes heavy with grief, her sweet face
pale with sorrow, and daily prayed for
his return.
No word came to tell her of his
whereabouts. Only the hopelessness
of uncertainty grew upon her day after
day. Her little store of money was
grocery and notion shop on Seven
teenth street, east Of Maple.
Meanwhile the husband travelled the
world over in the effort to forget his
great love for the dark eyed little
sweetheart left alone Westward, to
the coast, then upon ocean steam
ships. to Hawaii, to Japan, to Aus
tralia. later across the Atlantic to
England and the continent, he travelled
aimlessly, only seeking to drown his
grief and forget his love. The effort
was unavailing. Ever pulling, tug
ging, straining his art-strings was
the love for the little woman who
meant more than all else in the world
to him. Love won. Max Macabe re-
turned to Dubuque and entered the
little shop to seek reconciliation with
his wife. But the hurt had been griev-
GUS; the sorrow of years was deep,
and the wife has not yet spoken her
forgiveness. nor received him as her
husband.

Cedar Rapids, Oct. 5.-There's gong
to be something doing very soon be-
tween the travelling men and the rail-
roads according to the statements
made yesterday to reporter by
the veteran knights of the grip.
Since the two-cent law went
into effect in the various states the
railroads have refused to issue the IN
Interchangeable mileage books and now
the members of both of the travel
ing mems organizations are sitting up
nights to devise ways and means to
get what they want
The travelling men want 1000 mile
book for forty dollars. The railways
have not seen fit to concede to their
requests as yet but the travelling men
hope to find out ways to help them get
what they are after. 1t is said that
made is for every travelling man to
demand a receipt for every ticket
which he buys. There are upwards of
eighty thousand members in the two
travelling mems organizations and
with every one of these men demand
ing a receipt every time he purchases
a ticket and starting a lawsuit against
the railroad if the receipt is not forth
coming. it is calculated that the rail-
roads will be kept fully as busy as
they would be under the Interchange
able mileage book system. If not so
then something else will probably be
started. In the meantime. however.
the travelling men will try to gain
their point by milder measures and
they hope to succeed.

ASK PERMISSION TO
BUILD GAS PLANT
NEW CITY COMPANY SHIFTS ITS
PLANS FROM VERNON
Ready to Start Building Operations on
Seven-Acre Tract on Santa
Fe's Right of Way Near
Tenth Street

Showing that it means business, the
new City Gas company organized late
last year by Los Angeles capitalists, yes
terday asked the board of fire commits
sioners for permission to operate its
proposed plant within the city limits.
This follows the rejection by trustees
of the town of Vernon of the plan to
build there.
Randolph H Miner, William M. Gar
land and Attorney E. E. Millikin repre-
sented the company before the board.
The company asked permission to es-
tablish it's new plant on a seven-acre
tract it owns just west of the Santa Fe's
right of way between Tenth and Eleventh
streets and east of Santa Fe avenue.
A separate permit was asked to operate
two 2O0-horse power boilers.
At Mayor Harper's suggestion both
were laid over a week in order to permit
the usual courtesy of giving near by
property owners a right to protest if
they wished.
Commissioner Anthony Schwamm re-
marked that the company would get
square deal and its representatives de-
parted, believing that there would be
no active opposition from the property
owners and therefore none from the
board.
The City company, controlled by
Messrs. Sartori, Miner, Fishburn, Gar
land and fifty-seven directors, expects
to be serving gas by next February, it's
officers declare. Steel and corrugated
iron are to be used for the principal
structural material and it is stated that
forty carloads of pipe have already been
assembled
