I learn that the marriage of Miss
Gladys Kerens of ST. Louis and George
H. Colket of Philadelphia, which Will
take place in the autumn, will, In all
likelihood, be celebrated in Vienna,
where the father of the bride-elect Is
United States ambassador. The an
nouncement of the engagement caused
a great deal of a flutter in st. Louis
and In Philadelphia. Richard Kerens,
father of the intended bride, made mil
lions as a railroad contractor.
Miss Gladys Kerens left New York
in February last to go to Italy to visit
her brother, Mr.. Vincent Kerens. Later
she intended to go to Vienna and join
her father, who leased the Kolowrat
palace there, and whose health and
social position as American ambassador
gave the young woman entrance to the
most brilliant circles of society In the
Austrian capital.
While Miss Kerens was staying at Hot
Springs, Va, with her father in October
last, the attentiveness OF Prince Schoen-
berg of Saxony to the attractive young
woman caused It to be reported that the
prince had cabled to Saxony for permits
sion to marry her. The prince denied this
and declared that he had merely
friendly acquaintance with Miss Kerens.
Mr.. Kerens was a member of the re-
publican national committee from Mis-
souri, and more than once candidate for
United States senator.

MUNICIPAL WATER SYSTEM
To Be Issue Decided at Special Cit,
Meeting.

Indications are that the people of
Putnam will soon place themselves on
record either for or against the pur-
chase of the city's water system. There
has been expressed dissatisfaction with
the service rendered for the past year
and with the idea of getting at the de-
sire of the citizens in general on the
matter a special city meeting is to be
called on Sept. 27. The question to bs
discussed and voted upon is the pTopo-
sition to have the city establish and
operate it's own water system. The
special committee appointed some tirns
ago to investigate as to the advisability
of such a move has reported favorably
to the common council.
