Chapter
Fifteen

CTENOVICS was indeed in guam
dairy. NIistitch had precipitated
~ an unwelcome and premature
crisis. The minister's deliberate,
slow moving game was brought to a
sudden issue which he was not ready
to face. 1t had been an essential fea-
ture, governing rule, Of his campaign
to avoid any open conflict with the
Prince of Slavna until an occasion
arose on which both the army and the
king would be on his side. The king
was power not merely by reason Of
his cheaply won popularity, but also
because he was, while he lived, the
only man who could crown Stenovics'
operations with the contamination to
which the minister and his ally, Count
ess Ellenburg, looked forward with dis
tant yet sanguine hope. The army was
with him now, but the other factor
was lacking. The kings pride as well
| as his affection was enlisted In his
sons interest. Moreover, this occasion
was very bad.
Mistitch was no better than an as
sassin. TO take up arms on his behalf
was to fight in a cause plainly dis
graceful-one which would make sue
cess very difficult and smirch it forever
and beyond remedy even If it came 1t
was no cause in which to fight both
prince and king. That would be play
ing the big stake on bad hand, as
| Stafnitz put 1t.
Yet the alternative? Stafnitz, again,
had put that clearly. The army would
have no more to do with the man who
could not help it at the pinch, who
could not save its favorite. who could
not release Barabbas.
| The prince seemed to be in his most
unyielding mood--the Bourbon in him

ONCE A MILLIONAIRE.
G. J. L. Meyer Dies at Milwaukee in
Reduced Circumstances.

Milwaukee, July 1S.-C. ]. L. Meyer,
aged eighty-six years, former million
aire manufacturer of Fond du Lac,
Wis, but of late years in reduced cir
cumstances. is dead at his living
apartments in this city of heart trou-
Bile. Mr.. Meyer a short time ago
came to Milwaukee from Chicago,
where he had been living with rela-
tives, and applied for admission to the
county hospital. This was denied for
the reason that he was not resident
of the county. Later Mr.. Meyers rel
atives made provision for his care as
long as he lived.

Hearst Gets Setback in Des Moines

c. W. Roberts, personal representa-
tive of Willie Randolph Hearst, presi-
dent of the independence league, did
not get warm reception in Des Moines.
Labor Leaders in Des Moines have
been carrying on a campaign against
Taft months before his nomination.
To defeat him is their chief aim. They
thought that by supporting Bryan they
might accomplish this. end. But now
when Hearst comes along and says
they must vote for third man means
their strength will be divided, so they
say. These local men say that they do
not care to support Hearst and the
failure of the independence party in
Des Moines seems likely.

Trouble Arises Over the Question of

Because they refused to vote to

placing the consolidated school at

through the south Claridon precinct.
l.. j. Russell and John Gruber, MEM
bers of the school board were given

AT the present time the school
children are carried to and from their

claimed that the consolidated school
enables the pupils to receive bet
ter instruction at practically the
same expenditure. Thursday night a
petition was presented to the school
board of the township, asking that
the action replacing the consolidated
school be rescinded. 1t is claimed
that three-fourths OF the residents OF
the district signed the petition.
When 1t was announced that the pc
tition had been ignored an angry
crowd collected and as the members
of the board drove away in their
buggies they were besmeared with a
liberal quantity of eggs. There is con-
siderable feeling being expressed and
II Is probable that further trouble
will occur in the ordinarily peaceful

how to move. No wholesale millin-

We go to the markets with cash,
seeking to purchase the very best for

best discounts, and II you were in
this business you would be surprised
to know how many milliners fail to
take advantage of the all important
discount. Buying for cash, buying
where we get the best bargains, eat
ing, sleeping, walking, talking mil
linery are some reasons why we can
sell millinery for less at all times,
than other Marion concerns. The
growth of this millinery business is
short of phenomenal, all
things considered, and 1t is because
we make good on our advertised
claims that no matter what others
ask you we will suit you for less.

SUNDAY AFTERNOON
A Lecturer of World Wide

be Packed, at the Meeting
Tomorrow.

"The Kingly No" is to be the
subject of DR.. James Hedley's ad-
dress at the Y. NJ. G.. A. auditorium
,on Sunday afternoon. DR.. Hedley is
the same type of men as those who
have preceded him in this series OF
Sunday meetings, with the possible
exception that he is a man OF greater
experience than any OF those who
have gone before. This lecturer has
translated his lyceum experiences into
an interesting book known as "Twen-
lty eYars on the Lecture Platform"
Iand this work ranks high with con-
ltemporaneous autobiography as 1t
contains the life story of this man
who has given his time so assidu-
Iously to this work of education and
progressive reform in thought life.
The subjects OF DR.. Hedley's lee
lures indicates that the man who
discusses such Is of the optimistic
sort and Is old fashioned enough
to still believe In honesty and the
predominance of right II IL but re-
ceiyes a fighting chance. DR.. Hedley
makes 1t his mission In life to in
spire his hearers with those same
sort of convictions.
There will be some good music on
tap for the meeting Sunday and so
with the quality OF the address as
sured to be of the first class kind 1t
naturally follows that there will be
a well pleased audience at the part
ing Of the ways after DR.. Hedley's
address has penetrated to the inner
most recesses Z"
