collected a small sum of money as the
first payment.
After that first visit there was not a
day passed but two or three people
visited Mr.. Scheller's studio, asking
why their pictures had not been de-
livered, and from each of them he
heard story exactly like the young
woman had told him who first unfold

Naturally the photographer was ex-
ceedingly indignant, and declared that
he would be willing to pay reward to
anyone who would secure information
leading to the arrest and conviction
of the confidence man, as they made
things very uncomfortable for him.
At no place did the smooth agent
give the name of Scheller, but in near
ly every instance it is said to have
been a name something like this, and
as Scheller's studio is the only one on
Sixth street. he naturally "fell' for the
consequences.

PROSPECTS ARE FLATTERlNG,
Forest City to Have Chautauqua :
Fioht on at Ida Grove.

Forest City. Feb. 3.-Having sold 500
tickets in Forest City the prospect for
a siX-days' chautauqua is flattering
The Redpath bureau has just complet-
ed a canvass OF the place with the
above result, and plans to open the
chautauqua on July IS. There will be
three programs each day. At Ida Grove
the same bureau is involved in fight
against the home chautauqua, and
threatens to put in a six days program
on their own responsibility. They base
their attitude on the promise of Ida
Grove people to take tickets for the
Redpath chautauqua this year If the
home people did not enter the field. But
the "home people" have decided to
hold chautauqua of their own, and it
is the seeking to hold the people to
their promises of tickets made last
year that is causing the trouble, which
may be taken into the courts for set
tlement.

many years to big Ben" In Westmin-

is twenty-five and one-half feet In d.
ameter, while that Of the Metropolitan

1t will be a clock suitable in every
way to be part Of the tallest perma-
nent structure in the world as the new
tower will be. The tower will be for
ty-eight stories, 658 feet above the
street, and the clock will occupy part
of the twenty-fifth, twenty-sixth and
twenty-seventh floors. The middle Of
the dial will be 348 feet above the
street
Notwithstanding the fact that the
dial will be little more than halfway
between the street and the top of the
tower, it will be far above all sur
rounding buildings. 1t will be fifty
feet higher than the Flatiron building.
The immense size of the clock will
make it easy to tell the time from a
great distance The letters on the dial
will be four feet high, and the hands
will be twelve feet long.
No clock has been ordered for the
building yet. and it is not known just
how it will be run. Some of the lar
Rest clocks are run by electricity, while
