Had Been There sefore.

Things did not &c SO smoothly for
the newly married couple. Mrs. Smith
learned that her husband had been
married three times before; had twice
before secured wives in the same
way in which she had been brought to
him. His children, some almost as old
as the new mother, showed little re
spect for her She came to repent the
action which had placed her in such a
situation. She saw her life of toll in
New York City more desirable than
the lonely, neglected life in the shanty
across the river. And after but six
months of married life, the little
woman, with her cheeks little less
plump and rosy than on that wedding
day last winter and her eyes looking
out into the world with an unaccus-
/ toned sad light, has come back to her
life of toll.
Just as soon as she can raise the
carfare, she says, she Is going back
| home The place she thought would
be a real home in the west proved not
Ito be so, and she is going back, where
lif she has not relatives, she still has
4 friends and work and can begin again

ROME, July 26.-Police preparations
We're hegun today to guard King Vic
tor Emmanuel and Queen Helena
against another attempt at assassina-
ton when they go to the pantheon
annually on the anniversary of King
Humbert's murder by an anarchist.
1t was as mis- majesty was on his
way to the mass celebrated over the
late kings tomb on the anniversary
of his birthday that the anarchist
D'Alba tried to kill King Victor March
IA, this year, and despite the certain
ty they feel that the attempt was the
result of conspiracy in which many
men were involved, the police have
never succeeded in arresting anyone
but DAlba. The fear that they may
try again to kill the king is worrying
off1cialdom and the anniversary of his
premier's assassination strikes them
as likely date for it.
AS precaution it is understood
their maiesties will go to the pan
theon in closed automobile instea5
of their usual open carriage and al
fast clip as the mounted guards cal
keep up with. The automobile will bs
surrounded by cavalry and troops viii
line the streets through which tht
royal couple will pass, and the piazz;
in front of the pantheon. In the mean
time every unknown person in Rom,
lis under surveillance.

HUSBAND DECEPTIVE.

Another romance of matrimonial
advertising was brought to a sad finish
in Fort Madison Wednesday, when
Mrs. Judea D. Smith, 22-year-
old bride Of 53-year-old Judea D..
Smith of near Dallas City, returned
here, where she and her husband were
married on January 4, 1912, and sought
employment to earn enough money to
take her back to her old home in New
York City. In return for several
months of what she says has been
awful drudgery, the husband gave the
young woman three dollars in money,
when she expressed her wish to be
free from him, and told her to go.
It will be remembered that last
winter Mr.. Smith, the farmer living
near Dallas, was reported to have adj
vertised in a New York City paper for
ia wife to share with him his large
farm and home on the prairies of Iii
nois. Miss Rose McCue, an orphan,
to whom life in the city had become
at once burdensome and hopeless, saw
the advertisement and answered it.
Through the succeeding correspond
ence she determined to come west and
accept the young and wealthy farmer
who SO longed for a wife to share his
lot with him.
An attractive girl with sparkling,
bright eyes, who saw only joy iii the
new life and trusted the fond lover
who had written her beautiful letters,
she was united to Mr.. Smith at this
place on chill day last new years
time Then came the disappointment.
She had been rather startled to find
Mr.. Smith much older than she sup
posed, but still believed in him. But
when she was taken to the large farm
on the Illinois prairies and found it to
consist of four acres of scarcely
arabic land in creek bottom and the
| big home to be four-room shanty
settled on the ground heartache fol
lowed disappointment.

pie at the last city election By which
the primaries are 70 be made non-par-
tisan. City Attorney Rollin K. Page Is
Of the opinion that the amendment Is

pass such legislation as viii put the
amendment into working order. that
IS provide the necessary forms Of
blanks for its operation as well as TO
indicate the procedure necessary for a

clause in the amendment which puts
its execution under the Direct Primary
Law is wholly adequate to make the
amendment operative. This being the
case there can be no doubt as to the
effectiveness Of the nOn-partsan pri-
maries which will be held on Novem-
