a pretty daughter of his landlady at
New Haven, Conn. Although the cere-

leaked out.
Young Clapp, according to the in

1t is said that the young groom's
father did not hear about the affair
SO well did the pair keep their secret
until he went to New Haven on a

possessed a daughter in law, and ru-
NOR says that he was not at first in
clined to bestow the usual parental
blessing But that feeling was only
temporary, and everyone, it is said, is
happy now.

c. NJ. Shapiro, the owner of the sec
and hand store that was robbed early
last week, took a trip to New Ulm yes
terday, to see whether he could identify
any of the property found on the depot
robbers as that stolen from his store.
He did not find any of his goods, but
saw large collection of watches
chains, rings, razors, pocket knives,
bracelets and revolvers, that the rob-
bers admit that they stole at different
places, but will not say where, how
ever. The jewelry is of good quality
some being solid gold and others filled
No Goods Are Identified
Mr.. Shapiro states that none of the
goods found have been identified a.
yet. He never saw the robbers be
fore. One of them was a good APP
pearing man, but he could not see the
Others very well. The one that was
shot was lying down and his heac
bandaged. Two pawn tickets were
found upon them, one for articles
pawned at Shapiro Bros store at Min
neapolis, and the other given by an
other Minneapolis store.

off the lake Crystal robbery, where
money, razors and knives were stolen.

CAR PLANS A TOUR
SECRECY SURROUNDS ARRANGE
MENTS; PLOT FEARED.
But II Is Known That He Will Visit

companied BY Several Members of
Imperial Household; Proposes to

St. Petersburg, June l6-Emperor
Nicholas completed his preparations
today for his meeting with Kaiser
Wilhelm in the Finnish Gulf tomor-
row, which will mark the beginning
of long tour of European capitals
which the car will undertake this
summer. Rumors of plots for the as
sassination of the ear during his
Forthcoming trip are current in St
Petersburg and extraordinary precau-
tions have been taken to prevent such
an attempt.
The deepest political significance is
attached to the trip of the Russian
Emperor.
Secretary Attends His Plans.
Though the utmost secrecy so far
attends his plans, it is believed that
there underlies them policy design
ed to place Russia in wholly new
relation with the other world powers
The tour will have its beginning
when Nicholas will meet Kaiser Will
helm in the Finnish gulf.
The German emperor will arrive ON
the imperiol yacht HOhenzollen, while
Emperor Nicholas will be aboard the
STANDARD, accompanied by NJ. Iswolsly
the foreign minister, and Admiral Voc
vodsky, the minister of marine.
The news of the proposed interview
between the sovereigns coming so soon
after the settlement of the Balkan
crisis, has aroused eager speculation
among the diplomats at st. Petersburg
1t was supposed in some quarters
that German mediation, which had end
ed the crisis, had left a heritage OF
bitterness which would estrange the
two monarchs and lead Russia to iden
tify herself more closely with Great
Britain's continental policy.
How Meeting Was Arranged.
The meeting, which according to most
reports, has been arranged on the
initiative of Emperor Nicholas is taker
to mean that Russia prefers an ami
cable arrangement with Germany to the
doubtful issue of an antagonistic poll
cy. If Emperor William also meets
President Fallieres, as reported from
Berlin, the European situation may bt
regarded as entering upon decidedly
peaceful phase.
After meeting the German emperor
Emperor Nicholas will 60 to Stockholm
probably ten days hence. He will ther
return to PeterhOlf. where. dl,rino th,
early days of July, he will receive Kins
Friedrich of Denmark. His Majesty viii
then proceed to Poltava, where he will
be present on July and at the cele
| bration of the 200 anniversary of tn,
battle of Poltava.
Emperor to Visit France.
The emperor will then depart b,
sea for visit to France and England
and probably Italy. The plans of thi
trip are held in the deepest secrecy
but elaborate preparations are alread,
being taken to prevent tampering will
the railway lines to Poltava.
Forty eight thousand troops will b.
stationed along the route during tn
journey. The military attaches of tn
various embassies AMI legations hav
been invited to accompany His Ma
lesty, but no other diplomatic repre-

WORLD WITHOUT CARE.

There's song that is sweet
And a whistle that's clear;
There's a dog at his feet
And another one near;
There's fish in the brook
And line that is whirled,
There's worm on a nook
All is well with the world.
There's rock that has slipped
From the bank to the brink,
There's a hat that is dipped
In the brook for a drink;
There's line that is cast
Where an eddy is whirled,
There's a fat perch caught fast
All is well with the world.
There's heartful of Joy
And handful of fish,
There's satisfied boy
Glad as gladness could wish;
There are leaves green and cool
Where the fat perch is curled
There are more in the pool
All is well with the world
There's an angler come home
At the close of the day,
There's the chirp in the gloam
| OF whistle so gay,
There's a monster near-caught
! Where the foam danced and curle
There's meal piping hot
All is well with the world.

DANGERS OF the HUNT
BROUGHT HOME TO the
ThE0. ROOSEVELT PARTY
Especial to The Free Press.]


Niavasha, British East Africa,
June I5.-TheOd0re Roosevelt
has had the dangers of big
game hunting in Africa brought
home to him by the mortal in
juries suffered by H. Williams,
who while hunting with F. c.
Selous and w. N. Macmillan at
Sotik, was attacked by a lion
and fatally injured.
The runner who arrived today
with news from the Roosevelt
camp did not state whether
Mr.. Roosevelt was a witness of
the tragedy or not but as
Selous was to act as guide to
) the ex-president, it is inferred
that the latter was in the party.
