BlSMARCK's ANGER.
Tho Incident That Made Certain the
Franco German War.

franco German War.
The Princess Bismarck, so the story
goes, changed the political history OF
France unwittingly, and but for her
the Franco Prussian war might never
have been waged.
Bismarck was unfriendly to France
but the Empress Eugene hoped with
her beauty to influence him SO that the
little trouble with France and Ger
many might be smoothed over, She
therefore invited the German prince
and his wife to visit the court OF
France, and the Prince and Princess
Bismarck arrived In great state at the
Tuileries.
That evening there was grand re-
ception, and Eugene received the
guests In gown which made her SO
ravlshingly lovely that even Prince
Bismarck, German, stolid and in love
with his wife, stood and gazed upon
her with admiration. And Eugene
was not slow to observe the effect OF
her beauty upon him. She called him
to her side. and Bismarck came, with
, his wife upon his arm.
Now. the Princess Bismarck was tall
and gaunt, and her feet were gener-
Gus. AS she walked she showed a
great deal OF sole.
While Bismarck stood talking with
Eugene an audible litter was heard
along the line of ladies. Bismarck,
who was quick as fash. followed
the glance of their eyes and saw them
rest upon the feet of his wife,
That settled the matter. The politl-
cal history of France was altered from
that moment.
A yess later, when Paris was be-
sieged. Bismarck himself fired a can
non over the ramparts, and those who
were. near him heard him Shout:
"Take that, for the feet of the Prin-
cess Bismarck
The slight was avenged.

Upon attaining full growth the silk
worm becomes restless, stops feeding
and throws out silken threads. The
silk is formed In fiuid condition and
issues from the body of the worm in a
giutInous state, apparently in a single
thread. From this silk the worm con-
structs Its cocoon, an interval of from
three to ave days being required to
complete its Imprisonment in the en-
velope. In order that the silken strands
may not be subjected to the danger of
breakage by the moth emerging from

this the silk may be wound off.-New

REVIVAL AT FREMONT.
Fifty.Five People Have Already Beer
Converted.

Fremont, Ia, Feb. 10.-Rev. Nc
Bride Of Cedar, assisted in the reviv-
|al meetings being neld in the Method
list Episcopal church by preaching at
the three Sunday services. The re-
vival has been in progress for the
past five weeks and has been blessed
with remarkable results. Nearly 10
persons from Fremont and the vicin-
ity have protested conversion and
la dozen of that number have united
with the church. The pastor, Rev.
Chas. r. Shook, has been doing most
|of the preaching himself and he feels
that in the conversion of the large
number of souls his work has not been
in vain. Although young in the min
istry, he has taken hold OF these
meetings in a way that leaves the
impression that he is preacher of
much experience and certainly a
man of GOO working in His vineyard
for the love of his Master and the
good he can do humanity. Rev. Nc
Bride preached yesterday both morn
| ing and evening and at mems meet
ling in the afternoon, and the attend
ance was large at each service. The
meetings will be continued for the re
mainder of this week nc least.

COAL TRADE REVIEW
CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS AZ
POINTED OUT BY LEADING
TRADE JOURNAL

Chicago, Feb. S.-The Black Dia-
mond today says:
with a cold, blowy day on last
Saturday, followed by zero weather,
snow storms and severe cold for most
of the week, the chicago coal mar
ket should be now in fairly good
condition. The improvement has not
been as great as would -e expected.
The reasons for this are obvious when
one takes into consideration the ire
mendous amount of coal which was on
hand either on track or in the yards
of the dealers.
The specific betterment of the week
has been the cleaning up of most of
the coal on track and the reduction
of stocks in the yards of the track
dealers. Out side of Chicago the
stocks on hand have not been quite
as heavy as was generally supposed,
this being evidenced by the fact that
many of the dealers are writing in for
rush orders on COAL some of them

Buying for storage has not started
and will not, probably, until it is

increase in contract requirements,

TWOCASES ARE ALIKE
SIMILARITY IN EscAPADEs OF
WOMEN FoRGERS.
.EsteIie Taylor and Elsie Jacobs, Both
Came From the Same Section,
and Were Active in Col
lege Circles.

Burlington, Feb. 10.-The similarity
between the cases of Estelle Taylor,
the fair forger, who is in Jail at Ev-
anston, ILL.,, and Elsie Jacobs, who is
serving a sentence in the Joliet pris-
'on, has attracted attention. Both
young women operated in a college
town, posing as students, and there
for the crimes. Elsie Jacobs came
from Mt. Pleasant, where her parents
are respected residents OF the COM
munity. Estelle Taylor, the dashing
law student OF Galesburg, was born in
Mt. Pleasant, and her mother still
lives there.
Both girls were in Burlington for a
short time and both went from here
to Monmouth, and afterward to Gales
burg Elsie Jacobs returned to Mon
mouth and entered Monmouth college.
The young girl passed several forged
checks on merchants in that city, her
connection with the college serving to
aid in the successful floating of the
bogus paper. She left Monmouth at
once and went to Galesburg where
she successfully passed a forged check
at one of the leading banks in that
city. From Galesburg the Jacobs girl
went to Abingdon, ILL.,, where she was
arrested at the railroad station, where
she was about to take train for some
other point. She was brought back
to Galesburg, tried and sentenced to
the Joliet prison.
A number of business men of Gales
burg have rallied to the support Of
Estelle Taylor, and have expressed the
determination of standing by the young
woman. II Is believed that defense
of insanity will be entered when Miss
Taylor is placed on trial for the forg
cry with which the girl was connected
at Galesburg.
Miss Taylor went from Burlington
to Galesburg last August, and secured
position with the firm of Williams
Allen, Welch and Green Mr.. Green
has been in Burlington during the past
week to obtain facts regarding Miss
Taylor's life in this city. The young
woman remained here about three
weeks, and left after failing to secure
a position in the public schools.

Mr. Hobson announced after the

so that the work of construction would
begin without a moments unnecessary
delay. Even so, it would be three
years before these vessels could be
made ready to go into commission
and this country has no time to lose
The preference of the committee
stood in favor of four battleship au
thorization. but the voting attitude
of the majority was expressed by
Chairman Foss when he said: Eek
perience has shown that it is more

ton for four battleships could not be
put through at this session"
