Miss Hazel Liebfarth and MIR. Raleigh
w. Goodson Are the Prin-
cipaIs In This Ro.
nance.
BOTH ARE WELL KNOWN
Miss Llebfarth Is the Charming
Young Daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. G. A. Llebfarth of
This City.

! From time to time young couples OF
this city, much in love take it into
their young heads that they would like
to elope, not always on account of par.
entail objection, but for the novelty
and excitement of the thing. Such
was the case in this particular one.
Last evening Miss Hazel Liebfarth,
charming young daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. G. A. Liebfarth, and her escort.
Mr.. Raleigh W. Goodson of Princeton,
Ind, and who has made this city his
home for the past several months de-
cided to attend the theater together
as Mr.. Goodson was to leave soon
for his Indiana home and the time
was fast approaching when good.
byes must be said and the young peo-
pie parted.
At s o'clock members of the family
noted that the suit case of both Good
son and Miss Liebfarth were missing
and the suspicious of the immediate
family We're aroused at once At IL
O'Clock messenger came to the
house and announced the fact that the
couple had taken the S:25 train for
ST. Louis and had been married.
The reason for the elopment can
not be ascertained by the parents of
the young lady as there were no par
entail objections in this case as was
stated above and she was surrounded
with every luxury that young girls
heart could desire, but probably wish
ing to be with the man of her choice
who by the way is an excellent young
man of sterling qualities and has
made scores of friends while in this
city during the past few months.
The pair had been engaged two
years and the only objection on the
part of the parents was the fact that
both are young and were to have
been married next summer.
letter announcing their marriage
is expected some time soon but no
word had ben received up to this af
tArnoon and the parents of the couple
take it for granted that thew have
been married. All of the leading ho-
tells IN Quincy were telephoned to this
morning but they had not stopped at
any of them and where they were mar
ried still remains mystery but a
letter is soon expected to, clear ev-
erything.

300 and 700 O'Clock and the present

1t mas been suggested by Postmaster
Moorehead that business firms in the
city which have a great deal of mail
send such mail to the post office as
early In the afternoon as possible.
This will make 1t possible for the
post office force to get the mail ready
Tor the early evening trains. MANY
firms send their afternoon mail to the
post office after 500 O'Clock and the
great rush of mail can hardly be en-
countered and handled successfully
by the present force.
The business in general has shown
marked increase at the post office
during the past year and each month
shows an increase over the cores

This increase is very gratifying for

Austrian's Plan In the Balkans viii
Elicit the Opposition of the
Russians.

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 3.-Inter-
est in the Balkan situation is centered
in the positive statements of several
parliamentary leaders that Russia has
determined to drop the idea of the
proposed international congress and
will refuse to recognize the annexa-
ton by Austria-Hungary of Bosnia and
Herzegovina.
This information, although purport-
ing to be from official sources. is not
entirely exact.
The foreign office states that the
negotiations between Russia and Aus.
tria-Hungary and other powers are
still in progress and considers that
an acceptable formula for submission

found.

Duke to be Americana

ELKINS, w. Va. Oct. 31.-The duke
OF the Abruzzi may become citizen
of the United States. Many persons
say he will have to or give up all
hope of marrying Miss Elkins.
These folks declare that certain
members of the Italian royal family,
including the dowager empress, hold
out againsts the marriage, and that
while the duke and Miss Elkins are
deeply in love, no actual engagement
exists.
1t is asserted that her family is
willing that Miss Elkins should mar
~ her royal sutton provided his fam
lily consents unanimously. Unless
this comes to pass, it is believed the
duke must give up all the rights and
privileges of the purple and come as
a plain American to get his bride.
