WAS ORGANIZED
Met at South Haven, Monday,
to Adopt Constitution
and Elect Officers.
MAYOR JOHNSON PRESIDENT
Executive Committee to Arrange
For First Banquet. Club
Members Enthusiastic,

The Van Buren, county republican
club is now fully organized and ready
to take up the important work of the
campaign.
About 100 republicans representing
all sections of the county gathered at
South Haven last Monday and in the
beautiful palm garden of the Colonial
hotel, which was rendered the club for
the day by the genial and courteous
manager, Ray Wilson, the organization
of the club was perfected.
The visitors gathered at the garden
soon after the arrival of the morning
train and enjoyed several solos furnished
by the singers at the garden At IL
o'clock Hon. n. F. Simpson, chairman
OF the county committee, called the
meeting to order and gave an outline of
the work already done towards the or
ganiZation Of republican club. He
also stated that Congressman f. l..
Hamilton would lend assistance in Sc
curing speakers for the clubs first ban
quet. r b. Bennett, secretary of the
county committee, was called as tenn
porary secretary, and Mayor James II.
Johnson as temporary chairman. Mr..
johnson thanked the club for the honor
conferred and gave forceful, earnest
speech, which met the hearty approval
of his listeners
The constitution prepared by the COM
mittee was read and adopted.
Judge Benz f. Heckert presented the
name of Judge JamessH. johnson as the
first president of the. club. Mr.. John
son protested and the name of Hon. n.
f. Simpson was presented Mr.. Simp-
son declined the honor on account of
his candidacy for auditor general, which
requires all of his time. The audience
was willing to excuse Mr.. Simpson on
those grounds, but insisted on the selec-
ton of Mayor Johnson.
The officers of the club were unani-
mously elected as follows:
President, James III. Johnson; vice
president, Don Cochrane; recoroing Sec
retary, +. n. Wakeman; corresponding
secretary, Arba n. Mouton; treasurer,
g. o. Monroe.

proprietor for the use of the palm gar
den and the meeting adjourned.

SLIGHT TROUBLE
At THE NEW DAM
Water Pressure Under Floor
Broke UP Cement Work. !
No Serious Trouble.
PUT IN NEW Cement FLOOR
This Time 1t Is Three Feet Thick.
Day Current Turned On
To-day.

Paw Paw was thoroughly alarmed last
Saturday when the report was circulated
around town that there was serious
trouble at the new dam and that the
water would all have to be drawn from
Maple Lake An investigation Of the
facts showed, however, that there was
no serious difficulty and that the report
was greatly exaggerated.
About II o'clock last Friday night
water began oozing through the cement
floor of the power house. 1t continued
to flow steadily until about o'clock In
the morning, when the pressure of wa
ter from beneath raised the cement
floor several inches, and the water con-
tinued to flow steadily until about )
o'clock in the afternoon, when it stopped
suddenly. None of the machinery was
thrown out of line or injured in any way
and the lights were turned on again
that evening.
Engineers Goss and Hammond were
soon on the ground, but where the wa
ter came from is something Of a mystery
1t is probable that it came through un-
der the core wall of the dam and that the
cement floor was not heavy enough to
hold it. A new floor is being put in
and this one will be about three feet
thick. The opening through which the
water came is evidently closed and nc
further trouble is anticipated. The lake
which was lowered about two feet, is
nearly filled to its capacity again anc
the day current will be turred on today
The stability of the plant cannot bt
questioned and just where the immensC
pressure, which broke up the cement
floor, came from and what caused it will
] probably remain mystery

WATER SUPPLY HAS BEEN LOW
Citizens Should Remember to Keep
All Faucets Closed in Case
of Fire

During the extreme hot, dry weather
of the past two weeks the supply of wa
ter at the water works has been very
low. The use OF the water for street
sprinkling was stopped and everything
possible done to keep a reserve in the
tank. Yet in the case of fire the pres
sure would be low, and the village coun-
Gil requests that, il the fire alarm should
be sounded. water users keep all faucets
closed. Should that be done, the water
from the wells would be ample to cope
with any emergency that might arise.
This is an important matter and should
be kept in mind by every citizen of the
village. With good heavy rain, so that
not so much water would be used on the
lawns, the tank could soon be filled
again.

GERMAN MUIR
DER MYSTERY

Berlin, Feb. 5.-More than usually
gruesome is a murder story which
comes from Leipsic. Paul Giegler was
the proprietor of book shop in the
Gorchenstrasse, and with him lived,
professedly as housekeeper and as
sistant, a young woman named Minna
Doell. About the middle of November
Gieggler disappeared from view, but
his housegeeper explained this by say
in that he had gone to Italy on bust
ness. AS he did not return inquiries
became more pressing, and the young
woman then made the fatal mistake
of altering her story. asserting that
Giegler was in Vienna hospital.
This change of tale aroused suspic-
ions, and when Investigations in Wen
NJ failed to reveal any traces of the
missing man, a search at his hou e
was decided on. Accordingly the po-
lice went to Giegler's rooms, where
upon the Doell girl jumped from a
window and fed. Investigation
showed that the bed, whichwas made,
and apparently unoccupied, contained
Giegler's body. The remains were
black, and in an advanced stage of
decomposition. There were traces
that death had been caused by suf-
location. It was evident that he girl
had cooked and slept in the same
room with the dead man for weeks.
She had made off with the sum of
S25O0, but was arrested at Halle. 1t
was ascertained that she had sweet
heart, and he has also been taken into
custody on the suspicion that he had
something to do with the crime.

shotgun and opened fire. Another
negro, named Babe" Gano, fell, shot
in the abdomen, just outside the win
dow. The ambulance wagon was
summoned and Gano placed in it, but
he died before reaching the hospital.
The missile which broke the window

DEATH BE- %
FORE UGLINESS

Vienna. Feb. 5.-Having for long
been queen of beauty. Baroness Won
Schwitzer could not bear the thought
of growing old and ugly, so she COM
mitted suicide. The Baroness was
the daughter of a Roumanian shop.
keeper, and was married at sixteen TO
wealthy Russian, Count Taliewitch,
who was captivated by her remarkable
beauty. After a married life of TWEEN
ty-four years the Count died. leaving
his widow a fortune of over $4,000, 900.
Still beautiful, in spite of the lapse of
years, and with the added charm of
immense wealth, the Countess had no
difficulty in finding a second partner,
and soon after her first husbands
death she was married to an Austrian
nobleman, Baron Won Schwitzer.
The Baroness, who had passed her
flftieth year, and had always been
very proud of her remarkable beauty,
recently became very melancholy, ow-
ing to the fact that the ravages of
time were becoming more and more
evident. So greatly did the loss of
her beauty prey upon her mind that
some time ago she attempted to poison
herself. The effort failed, but she
was determined upon self-destruction,
and few days ago she obtained a
revolver, with which she blew out her
brains. She left letter stating that
she could not bear to survive her good
looks.
