THE FORBIDDEN
ROAD"- WHERE?
SCANDAL OF UNUSUAL INTER
EST TO AMERICANS is NINE
DAY WONDER"

a scandal of unusual interest to
Americans is the "nine-day wonder" Of
England just now and centers about a
man whom many people of this city
Will remember as a comparatively
recent guest of the municipality. He
is Sir Samuel Broxburne, who visited
this country for a prolonged stay and
who only returned to England last
month.
Sir Samuel according to the story,
went almost directly on his arrival in
London, to house party at the su-
burban home of the Hon. Mr.. Bren-
ton. There, in the strangest possible
manner, he became aware Of crime
committed two years earlier, whereof
he had all along been the unconscious
victim. On the eve of his departure
for America, his name had been forg-
ed for large sum by woman with
whom he had been for some time car
rying on rather desultory Irritation.
This woman was no other than the
famous young society beauty, Mrs.
Camilla Lancing, widow who carried
last years London season by storm.
Broxburne, to his surprise, found
himself and Mrs. Lancing fellow

roof. complications at once set in.
Mrs. Lancing, during Sir Samuel's
absence, had become engaged to Mr..
Rupert Haverford, decidedly new
conner in the social whirl Haverford,
from boyhood on until his thirtieth
year, had been poor and over-work-
ed factory employe. When he reached
thirty, his uncle died, leaving him an
enormous fortune. The young man
resolved to get some belated pleasure
out of life, but found his early habits
of hard work and retirement had left
him scant ability in the role of social
butterfly. So he threw himself on the
mercy of Mrs. Brenton, who took him
under her motherly wing and taught
him to penetrate the intricacies of so.
ciety.
In the course of this tutelage, Hav.
erford had met Mrs. Lancing and had
been told by Mrs Brenton that the
lovely widow would prove an excel
lent match for him Dutifully he pro
posed to her, and was accepted. Her
friends-and Camilla Lancing had the
faculty Of making many-were delight
ed at the match and hoped it would
curb the widows f1ightiness and pas
sion for gambling and other forms o
questionable excitement She being
in pressing need of money, and realiz
ing that Haverford was the richest
man she had ever met, consented tc
become his wife.
Haverford, being wholly ignorant O
1.-THE ways of the world and having nc
intimates in his new circle Of life te
advise him, knew nothing of Camilla.
reasons for accepting him. The fail
widow and her friends did all in theil
power to keep him from finding out.

CORN BELT IS
RE-ORCANIz.ED
THE MEAT GROWERS ASsOCIA-
TIoN REVIVED IN WA
PELLO COUNTY.

The Wapello County Corn Belt Meat
Producers association met at the
grand jury room in the court house
Friday afternoon and re-organlzed
the local branch of the association.
During the meeting A. Sykes, OF Des
Moines, gave an interesting talk on
what the association had accomplish
ed in the past and what it should en-
deavor to do in the future.
In part he said: 1T was the privi-
lege of the Iowa farmer to pay TWEEN
ty-five per cent higher freight rate in
the transportation Of his products
than the farmers of any otaer sur
rounding states were compelled to
pay That the railroads would haul a
car load of stock from Missouri river
points in Missouri at the rate of TWEEN
ty cents per one hundred pounds to
Chicago over the same roads with the
same equipment, train service and all,
while they charged the Iowa farmer
| % cents per 100 pounds when he lives
800 miles nearer Chicago.
"The association through the rail-
way commission, secured reduction
of 1871 per cent in local freight rates
within the state, saving the shipper
| from $3 to Sill per car on the basis
of 100 and 3O0-mile haul. During the
coming week the association will take
up the matter, with the railroad COM
missioners, the subject of reduc-'
tion on interstate freight rates. in
which they will undoubtedly succeed
and save the farmers more tnan ST.
100000 in freight annually
Assets Farmers.
"The fact that the association was
instrumental in, securing the return
pass for shippers of live stock and the
4 assumed reduction Of the terminal
charg.e at Chicago shows that for
actual benefits procured for the farm
er 1t stands second to none.
"The annual report OF the state as
sociation shows that Wapello county
is one of the very few counties in the
state that has not contributed to the
support of the state association but
/ that with the prospects of this after
Moons meeting Wapello county would
soon be in the first ranks"
Mr. Ames of Chicago, followed
speaking a few moments on the sub
ject of what the association was Go
ing and what could be done by CO
. operation: now in cOne instance the
| commission company was acting as a
r governor on the live stock exchange
with reference to live stock conditions
