The brewers at their national con-

drive out the dives and disreputable
saloons, In order to save themselves
and make legalized rum selling re-

thing must be done. They make a
great mistake by supposing that the
saloon can be made respectable. He'll

Congratulations should again be
extended to Victoria, Queen of Spain,
who has just given birth to daugh-
ter. The new Princess will be named
Beatrice, after her grandmother. The
first two children are boys, Prince
Alfonzo, born May 10, 1907, and
Prince Jaime, born June %, 1908
The eldest, the heirlto the throne, is
fair like his mother, but he has the
protruding lip of his father, a pro-
nounced characteristic of the Spanish
Hapsburgs. The second son, on the
other hand, is dark complexioned and
looks the real Spaniard. He was
named after Jaime, the conqueror,
king Of Aragon.

Trafford and Beckwith.

On the morning of the day succeeding
that of Altenburg's death Mrs. Altenburg
came to Lanceboro and went at once to
the farm. She was a woman of fifty
five. who at times looked TO be seventy.
She WIS accompanied by her son and
daughter. the latter girl of twenty and
the son some five years older. In the
afternoon of the same day the son gave
out the following statement through their
ATTORNEY. Harrison ReckWith:
MY mother was not the wife, but the
sister, of the late John Altenburg. Her
name is Mrs. Elizabeth Calden. but for
family reasons some ten years ago she
assumed that OF her brother and permit
ted herself to he known as his wife. My
sisters name is Judith. and my own
Horace Calden. Six months ago my
mother left her brothers house to take
up her residence elsewhere. Her return
at this time is due solely to her brother s
death and the necessity of looking after
his affairs. She is prepared to do every
thing in her power to secure the arrest
and punishment of his murderer, if it be
proved to have been murder"
This statement caused sensation In
Lanceboro second only to that caused by
the murder itself. Bushrod Trafford, the
detective summoned at Fry's instance,
read the paper within five minutes of his
arrival He was struck at once by the
little that it said under the guise of alb
solute frankness The public had been
taken into the family's confidence with
out being told anything. His first visit
was to Beckwith's office.
How much am 1 to be told?' he asked
as soon as their greetings We're over
Beckwith glanced at the detective with
something resembling smile Oh his lips,
and yet with an air not unlike that which
the latter wore when lie wished to EN-
phasiZe his professional character. as he
did at this moment. Each felt that in
the other he had something of his own
qualities To meet. Beckwith'S eyes re-
which was their marked characteristics
II might answer with another ques-
ton. How much do YOU want to know
from us? That. l presume. will be about
the measure of it finally. We pre-
pared to tell what is necessary To the
work you have to do Al the same time.
II! be frank with you. We don't care to
tell anything more and he handed him
the printed statement.
II don't need be told that you. or some
other keen-edged lawyer. wrote that
said Trafford. It's SO simple that one
wonders why il was ever given out, until
one sees that on nothing short of this
could the woman take Il single step. At
the same time it seems to say SO much
that ninety nine people out of a hundred
be dashed off in two minutes. and I'll
bet YOU the writer gave two solid hours
to it, Now, I'm the hundredth person,
and I'm asking not for more. but for
something. This" and he gave the pa
