morning. and caused their parents no
end OF anxiety.
After they had been absent for more
than an hour and the police were aid

cation, one of the biggest policemen
on the local force found them at Ninth
and Main streets. The policeman was
not sure that the two little girls were
the right parties. but he has a kindly
face and soon was exchanging conf
dences with the two little tots.
The little girls were veritable flirts
as in response to every question asked
by the big policeman they would fling
back some childish. but nevertheless
coquetish answer Finally the little
girls were induced to give their names
and homes, Dorothy Hart, saying that
she lived at 81 North Third street. and
Jennie Morris. giving 1891. Main street
as their residence.
The policeman returned with the
little girls to their respective homes.

SPANISH KING ILL
Worried Over Affairs of State
Since the Ferrer
Execution.
MADRID is QUIET TODAY


Lisbon, Oct. 2O.-Alarming reports
as to King Alfonsos health were re-
ceived here today. Distraught by the
furore raised by the execution OF Fran
cisco Ferrer at Barcelona, the king,
according to the dispatches, is with
out appetite and has been unable to
sleep. The fear OF ali uprising and
his own danger of assassination have
SO worked on him that his condition
of mind is said to be serious.
His conflict with the ministry and
the attitude Of Premier Maura, whom
he censured for the execution of the
school teacher, have added to Alton
SOS uneasfness over the situation at
home and broad growing out of Fer
rer's death. Threatening letters pour
into the palace and although an effort
was made to keep the fact secret from
Alfonso, he learned of it and became
greatly agitated.
Premier Maura refused to retire I'M
til a demonstration of public opinion
strong enough to convince him that
his position is hopeless compels him
to step down. Senior Moret, the re-
publican leader in the Cortes, is strug.
Cling to force the crisis in the legis-
lative assembly.
Madrid and Barcelona are quiet it
was reported today, but the calm is
that which precedes a storm. accord
ing to those familiar with the situa-
ton.
