EIopers Wed In
 City Of Churches

Brooklyn. Nov IA marriage li- cense was issued here yesterday by the Borough Marriage bureau to Em- erson c. Krug of the City Engineer ing department of New Haven, Conn. and Miss Martha E. Popp of the same city, The pair appeared somewhat down here for elopers. They said the marriage was to be performed last night. but did not tell where
 New Haven, Nov. 1-Emerson c. Krug. spoken of in the above dispatch, is a civil engineer on the staff of City Engineer Cassius W. Kelly. He is 9 years of age having graduated in 1910 from the Sheffield Scientific Sullivan. Ind, and while here met the Poop girl and fell in love with her.
 In one sense of the word Krug's marriage was not secret, as it was pretty well known around the city hall yesterday that he was planning to get 'hitched.'' Krug had found himself the butt of a lot of good na- tured "jollying' and this is probably his reason for jaunting off to Brook lyn.
 Miss Poop did not tell her parents of her planned marriage, and Ernest Poop of 79 Greene street, her father, was informed of her act by the Jour- nal-Courier last night for the first time. He seemed not displeased with the match. however and said that he was ready to forgive the couple and they return.
 Krug. after his graduation from Shelf, took post graduate work there for a year.

mental Democracy which is creating the Progressive Democracy and the lnsurgent Republicans of today.
 To be able to dominate this great agricultural alliance is tremendous political asset. For years the govern Ing bodies of the National Grange nave been controlled by certain DOW erful factors whose activity in na- t1onal politics is everywhere recog- nized. Its organization is in the hands of forces as reactionary as any politi- cal ring. The extension of the grange has been deliberately hindered: it's in nuence miminiZed. As big interests have controlled bar associations, cham bers of commerce, boards of trade, and legislative bodies, in order to control public sentiment and public useful ness, so likewise have they obtained control of the National Grange and used it for their purposes.
 ''The isolation of the farmer com pels him to trust leaders. Without publicity he cannot know conditions. The struggle to correct these condi- tions is now started, and whether the present officials are elected or not at dition of affairs will be revealed by a searching investiga ton of grange al- liances.''
 These are sweeping charges, and since the National Grange is on the verge of starting country wide in vestigation into the cost of living problem, it is important, not only to the farmers, but to those who buy their products. to move toward clear ing the grange of the charges named.
 Who are the politicians who control the grange? Are they the same ''po- litical-Wall street-farmers'' who were so alarmed lest reciprocity be brought into being?
 On the action of the farmers at Co., lumbus much depends.

Missing KrahI
 Is Heard From
Wife Gets Letter Which Causes Her to Expect Salesman's
 Return Home

New Haven, Nov. That AdOlph Krahl, who mysteriously disappeared from this city three months ago, af- ter being last seen in Torrington, may in all probability be back in New Ha- ven within two or three days, is the confident statement made by his wife, who since her husbands abrupt de- parture from town has been living with her parents, MT. and Mrs An drews, in Shelton avenue. The only thing that may prevent KrahPs re- turn is possible lack of funds to get back East.
 Ten days ago Mrs. Krahl received a telegram signed with her husband S name from a place west of Chicago, the name of which she refuses to dl- vulge. In the telegram the runaway husband expressed a request for for giveness and asked if he might return home. In the opinion of the family this was a bait thrown out to learn the feeling toward him. Mrs. Krahl answered the tidings. directing it to the place from which the telegram was postmarked, with the instructions to return it if not delivered in ton days The letter was returned to her unopened. No other communication passed between Krahl and his wife.
 Two days ago Mrs. Krahl received letter from her husband. expressing repentance for his sudden decamp- ment, and saying that he was coming home AS the case now stands the family are awaiting his arrival Mrs. Krahl and her brother, MT. Andrews, are not at all certain that the tele- gram came from her husband, and for that reason are doubtful whether he will turn up or not He may not have funds to get back here, and it may be many days hence before he can secure the wherewithal to return to his family.
 Naturally some pretty explicit ex- plantations from Krahl will be de- manded by his wife and her family for while they want to see him and learn just what his motives were in deserting his family, there is more or less of a spirit of resentment against him for his actions.
 Mrs. Krahl denied last evening that there was any trouble between Kra afl and his mother-in-law; in fact, she said he was more friendly with her family, if possible, than with his own.
 The family is now beginning to look upon Krahls disappearance as due to a sudden impulse which seized him to shake off responsibilities. which at the time of his last trip to Torrington pressed rather heavily upon him. He was young HldH anu nOl uSeu lo family cares, and his family think they may have momentarily unbalanc- ed him.
 It is said by members of Mrs Krahfs family that Krahl had been not at all friendly with one of his brothers, although the slight differ ences of opinion existing between them offered no reason for his disappear ance. In fact neither the Krahl nor Andrews family can give any clue to the reason which prompted him to leave his wife and child just as they were about to move into a new home which he had, purchased and his re- turn will clear up a mystery which has stirred New Haven.

NATIONAL GRANGE SESSION
ABOUT TO ASCERTAIN WHY THE
 COST OE LIVING IS so HIGH.
Political and Financial Interests Seeking Control of the Grange
 A Timely Warning.

(By Clyde H. Tavennor, Special Cor
 respondent of The Farmer)
 Washington, Nov. Ion November 15 there will be held, at Columbus. O., a meeting of far reaching importance, and of direct importance to every in habftant of the country. This meet ing will be the annual one of the Ma tional Grange.
 The National Grange is the only farmers organization in the country s4Sch embraces all the states. Its ac- A~sfies are of vast importance just
 -, not only to farmers, but to city dweIlers as well, because the grange has undertaken an organized effort to find out who is responsible for the high cost of living, and if possible, to propose a remedy.
 In view of the importance of the coming meeting, one of the New York weekly magazines tCo1lier's) sounds a warning to the farmers. It is as fol- lows:
 Farmers, Look Out
 The story Of the struggle within farm organizations is one of the most dramatic in the history of the devel- opment of Democracy in America.

Vernet, the celebrated painter of sea
pieces, eager in the study of nature,
made several long voyages in his
younger days in order to observe the
various scenes which the changefui
elements exhibit. In one of these ex-
cursions undertaken merely for the
love Of the art most violent gale of
wind arose, when Vernet. without at
tending to the perils with which he
was surrounded, desired one of the
sailors to lash him fast to some of the
rigging. Soon after this request was
granted the storm increased, attended
with thunder and lightning and with
every circumstance that could add to
the horror of the scene, and consterna-
ton and terror sat on every coun-
tenance, but in the young painter every
emotion was lost in that of admiration.

Knife Duels In Mexico.

A duel between cattle herders on the
Mexican plains is about as savage and
deadly a manner of fighting as one
could possibly imagine. Each opponent
extends his left arm, and a third party
who has been selected to act as ref
cree binds their wrists together with a
thong of rawhide. He then places a
knife in the right hand of each, and
the fight is on. Needless to say, 1t does
not last long. Every stab may be cal
culated upon to do damage, and it often
happens that both duellsts receive IA
tai wounds. Yet, in spite of the severe
rules Of the game. there are men who
become experts and terrorize a whole
neighborhood. They pride themselves
on being able to strike so quickly and
so surely that they caR kill an oppo-
nent with the first blow and get away

raise it. 1t refused to move. Then
she gave it a little jerk, and the iron
opened with a suddenness that can be
ascribed only to the total depravity of
inanimate things.
1t opened its jaws with a vicious
pop and then shut them again with a
clap that made the young wife dance
away from the stove and cover both
eyes with hands under the impression
that they were full of red-hot batter
In the rebound she came up against
the pan of batter, and it fell to the
floor with crash.
At this crucial moment the little de-
mons that preside over such annoying
affairs moved Tom, the large and in
nocent, to the open door. Ignorant
that the situation was explosive in a
high degree he called jovially:
Breakfast ready, Pudge?"
Driven to frenzy by the sight of the
immaculate and MISUNDERSTANDING
masculine thing, the young wife gave
wild, inhuman below. Then she
deliberately kicked the waffle iron to
the other side of the room.
He Spoke No Word.
In terrible cries we sometimes have
almost preternatural intuitions. Toms
behavior on this occasion was almost
uncanny in its intelligence. He spoke
no word, he made no offer of assist
ance. He beat hasty retreat, while
the once happy bride flung furious
words after him.
Tom, like the really lovely creature
that he was, softly returned to the
kitchen, cleaned it up after his own
peculiar though sincere fashion, made
himself some toast, and an hour later
was furnishing a stalwart shoulder
for a repentant young wife to shed
tears copiously upon.

The Suicide of Hannibal.

Defeated at Zama, Hannibal fed to
the east to avoid falling into the hands
OF the Romans and found temporary
security in the dominions of Mithri-
dates. He melted this monarch to en-
gage In Roman war, and, his advice
as to its conduct being rejected, the
war proved unsuccessful, and Mithri-
dates was required as one of the con-
didons Of peace to deliver up Hannibal
70 his enemies, the Romans. The I'M
fortunate Carthaginian heard of his
approaching fate, swallowed the poison
which for years he had carried about
his person and expired just as the en-
voys arrived to take him in charge.
