Duke and Miss EIkins Still to Wed
Declares Latest Runor.

Declares Latest Rumor.
Washington, Jan. THE engage
ment between the Duke OF the Abruzz
and Miss Katherine Elkins is not ofl
and has not been at any time, declared
off. Instead, the wedding has been
postponed because Of another APP
preaching marriage In the Italian
royal family
This is the newest report which
comes to Washington concerning this
famous romance. 1t is said to have
good authority. The Count OF Turin
brother OF the duke, is to wed Princess
Patricia Of Connaught. one of the most
distinguished members of the British
royal family. That wedding is moi
known to have been set for a definite
date as yet.
But the story goes that the British
and italian royal families did not want
the Abruzzi Elkins wedding to come
first. because 1t would inevitably over-
shadow the match OF the two royalties.

KAISER'S SON MAY VISIT
THE UNITED STATES

Berlin. Feb. 27.-The Crown Prince
Frederick William, the future German
emperor, is seriously considering the
acceptance of an invitation from lead
ing yachtsmen Of the United States to
pay a visit to America in the present
year. August is mentioned as a likely
date for his imperial highness' trip.
Ever since his uncle, Admiral Prince
Henry, OF Prussia, visited America in
1902. the crown prince has had an ar
dent desire to visit the land Of pretty
girls n skyscrapers. He never fails
to say so whenever he meets Ameri-
ans, of whom he is genuinely fond.
The crown princes appearance in the
United States as a sportsman will re-
veal him in the role wherein he is now
most conspicuous in his own country.
His imperial highness, who is equally
at home on horseback, tennis court.
motor car, skift or schooner. has put
himself unofficially at the head of the
movement to ineulcate the love of
sports In the Fatherland on some such
scale as exists In America and Eng
land.

The Great Berlin Library.

From the New York Evening Post.
The number of volumes on the shelves
of the Berlin royal library IS about ], 250, 900.
On the first OF August, 1905, there were
employed 45 librarians, 81 male and fe-
male assistants, 45 attendants, and so on,
making a force OF more than $50 alto
gether. The number of volumes lent out
during the last year was $4,000 in Berlin
and $1,000 elsewhere, while the daily de-
mand In the reading room averaged SSS
volumes. Sixteen persons are kept busy
in the cataloging department. the number
OF leaves added to the catalog within a
year was 6,7O0, and the titles of $4,000 new
volumes were registered. The number of
volumes, old and new added to the col-
lection was $1,000. In pursuance of a new
policy some aluable old books and manu-
scripts were obtained from other libraries,
among them 900 books of the 18th century,
contributed by Heiligenstadt. In 1906 a
musical department was added. The
scores and volumes in these were contrib
uted largely as gifts by various publish
ers, and how greatly this new feature is
appreciated is shown by the fact that no
fewer than three librarians, two directors
and Is assistants are already kept busy
in this youngest branch of the institution.

Thirty-Nine Doubtful.

Thirty-nine ballots were doubtful and
went to the contest committee appoint
ed by Speaker Feely. Corrie now had
a lead of five, and unless the recount
of the SO should give a majority Of
at least six to Baxter, Corrie had won
the fight.
Before the recount OF the 80 began
Attorneys White and Johnson, of Ida
Grove, appearing for Mr.. Baxter, ar
gued a motion to dismiss on the ground
that tho opening of the bags had dis
closed carelessness on the part Of cleo
ton officials in packing the ballots in
bags before sending them to County
Auditor Warner. The motion was over
ruled, and the committee. comprising
Representatives Stillman, Cooper,
Goodykoonts, Calkins and Bauman,
began a recount of the SO contested
ballots.
The result was hat six ballots were
thrown out, 16 were credited to Baxter
and II to Corrie. The committee was
unanimous On its decision on each bal
lot.
