Mr.. Marshalps objection to the oues-
ton as to the reason she was not with
her husband was sustained by Judge
Mcnamara. She said in direct exami-
nation that she was sure that her
brother was not intimate with anyone
but on cross examination Mr.. Mo
Manus made her admit that she wrote
a letter to George Smith of Chicago
which began with the words my
Dear Hubby and ended Mamma in
which she stated that her brother was
in the tolls of some woman who nao
been at the house for week. In the
letter she identified the handwriting
and signature. but was very wrathy at
the prosecution for opening a letter
which was sealed and stamped. Mr..
McManus remarked that he did not
blame her for sealing it.
The witness refused to answer
some of the questions put to her by
the state and the court was appealed
to and she was instructed to answer
the questions.
One more witness remains to be
examined by the defense and the ar,

Every Woman and Girl Should

Bloodlessness is one of the greatest
enemies of growing girls and young
women. So stealthily and gradually
does it af1ict them that the disease is
often well advanced before it is detect
ed. Therefore it is important to note
the first symptoms and check the thin

Queen LIkea Bryce.

LONDON, Nov. 22.--It Is under
stood in court circles that Ambassa-
dor James Bryce owes his continu-
ance in Office at Washington to the
personal Intervention of Queen Mary.
Bryce has many political enemies
here who wished to seize on the Pan
ANA canal controversy as an excuse to
recall him, and they would probably
have succeeded but for his wife and
the queen.
The ambassador has never troubled
to keep himself in the good graces OF
the cabinet, but his wife has power
full friends, and Queen Mary very
much approves Of Mrs. Bryce. Hence
the royal hint to the foreign office
that changes at Washington would be
displeasing to buckingham Palace.
British monarchs have more to 40
with the appointment OF ambassadors
than is generally known. During
King Edwards reign appointments
we're made to suit the monarch,s
taste, 80 that he could be sure of
finding congenial companion In any
country he happened to visit.

The party is coming to this city for
the purpose OF investigating the paw.

especially to look over the creosoted

ent time The decision to come to
this city was made after communica-
lions had been exchanged and long
Telephone conversation had taken
place, between Industrial Agent r. r..
Wilson and John Dewitt, manager OF
the Keokuk Industrial Association.
Mr.. Dewitt wrote Mr.. Wilson asking
for Information concerning the paving
that had been done here, and request
ing whether or not some of the in
formation secured when Quincy was
considering the question OF a new
paving, could not be furnished them
He expressed the opinion that no
doubt quite a little information as to
the qualities of various paving ma
terials had been gained in the inves-
hgation, and stated that the city
would appreciate such information
very much. Especially was he inter
ested In the creosoted blocks. Mr..
Wilson called him up by telephone
and informed him of conditions that
existed in this city and extended the
invitation for the party to come and
examine the paving, telling them that
the creosoted blocks were just in the
process OF being laid. Mr.. Dewitt
stated that they would be glad to
come and expressed thanks for the in
vitation. Just who will come, is not
yet known but 1t is assured that the
party will include some of the most
prominent men Of the city, both IN
business and public life.
Keokuk is now considering the
question Of quite little paving and
before any division is made as to
what the material shall be the matter
will be gone into thoroughly. AS in
this city the creosoted blocks are fig
uring strongly in the controversy and
it is the wish to make complete in
vestigation of their desirability before
any action is taken.
The plans for their reception have
