The Kaiser. We love each other

and tried to conquer his emotions.
For several minutes he was labor
ing under great excitement, and con-
tinued: I'VE have loved each other
over a year. Our love story began
under the very eyes Of the royal
parents. While on duty at the
palace I would often walk In the
park On those occasions she would
meet me here and there, either alone
or accompanied by the court ladies,
At first only our eyes would meet
shyly. But little by little our eyes
grew bolder. At first [ did not dare
to speak to her But one day while
was reading the poems Of Schiller,
sitting on a lonely bench, heard
soft steps behind me and looked
around. The Princess, like a fairy,
stood gazing, smilingly, at the poem
in the open book that I had been
reading.
"'oh, you are reading ''Dle
Sehnsucht,' she whispered very
sweetly. Il am reading the same
poem
She showed me the page on which
was her finger, and we both laughed

Of the great park. Here our souls

WALL STREET is CHEERFUL
Financler Says Banking Center Holds
No Fear of Panic.

Chicago, May 30.--E. ID. Hulburt,
vice president of the Merchants Loan
and Trust company, has returned
from New York. His observations OF
the condition of pessimisrn in Wall
street were of a more cheerful charac-
ter than ordinarily find their way from
the Eastern banking center. Mr.. HUI
burt said:
"In certain money quarters found
a considerable degree of blueness. Up
on pressing for reasons why the New
York banks held such unfavorable
views the responses indicated that no
panic is anticipated.
II am inclined to think that we shall
get through the coming autumn in
fairly good shape, although interest
rates will probably remain high. But
IL New York, with its blueness, can
feel the situation is ~solyable, there is
no reason why we in the West should
look for more than a close money
market"

fuel to the fire and further develop

caused 10 small sensation here because
of the prominence OF the parties.
The charges against Montgomery
were instituted by United States Dis
trict Attorney A. Van Wagenen at
Sioux City. following the complaint of
Rev. q. 7. Notson Of Huron, superiu
tendent of the Huron district of the
Methodist Episcopal church conference
and Bishop Luccock of Helena, Mont.
The church was represented by AT
torneY f. +. Wagner of Sioux Falls,
who al United States attorney in South
Dakota. resigned that position follow
ing the recommendation of a pardon
for Charles L. HYDE of Pierre by the
United States attorney general.
Montgomery is considered wealthy.
He lives on a farm near Huron. Be
fore coming to Huron he lived at Ire
ton. Ia, for nearly thirty years. He
is nearly so years old and was an &C
tive worker in the affairs Of Rev. Mr..
Richmond's church.
Montgomery appeared before a con-
ference of officials of the church and

pared for the change. This is especial
ly true Of those manufacturing wool
products.
Great masses Of petitions have been
coming in from those conducting wool
en- business In all parts of the country
praying that Schedule X be made eff
fective Nov. /. They urge an imme-
such intention. They explain that this
is absolutely essential in order that
contracts may be made on that basis
and raw materials purchased with that
understanding.
OF almost equal Importance was the
suggestion brought to Senator Sim
mons by Secretary Redfield that the
levy on incomes be laid only on those
accruing after July /, 1913, and not be-
ginning with Jan. 1 of this year. This
would defer the gathering of an income
tax for six months. The plea is adj
vanced that an attempt 10 tax incomes
accruing after Jan. /, 1913, might be
regarded as retroactive legislation and
be pronounced unconstitutional by the
supreme court.
Winfred Il. Denison, assistant attor-
ney general, and James f. Curtis, as
sistant secretary of the treasury, In
charge of customs, are the authors of
an amendment Of ~farreaching impor-
lance. 1t had been previously laid be-
fore Chairman Underwood of the ways
and means committee. 1t has the in
dorsement of the attorney general and
the secretary of the treasury. There
Is a possibility that it may be approved
by the finance committee and presented
in the senate before debate begins.
Under the proposed amendment the
secretary of the treasury would be
given authority to proclaim the dutia-
bic value of any merchandise as finally
decided by the appraisers in case of no
appeal to be the dutiable value. But
whenever in the judgment of the Sec
rotary 1t is practicable to make a gen
eral schedule of dutiable values he may
from time to time proclaim such val
nes, publish them to take effect In no
case less than fifteen days after publ
cation, and lin the absence of such an
nouncement proclamation shall take
effect at the close of such fifteenth
day, and such proclamation shall con-
tinue in effect until revoked or modi-
fed by the secretary upon sixty days
notice"
Such proclaimed values by the secre-
tary would be used In lieu Of foreign
market values. thereby steadying the
customs case as derived from an ad
vaiorem system.

SINFUL PEOPLE
Huron Cause Court Proceed
ings by Their Misconduct.

Mitchell, June 2. ID. Montgomery of
Huron, was brought to this city late
Friday afternoon and taken before
United States Commissioner Drake for
commitment TO Jail pending his re-
moyal to the state Of Iowa on a white
slave charge. Montgomery was arrest
ed at Huron by Deputy Marshal
Laughlin. and they made the trip to
Mitchell in ~ automobile.
Spsngler and Haney Of this city APP
peared 81 the attorneys here for the de-
PENDANT, and demanded a preliminary
hearing of the case before permitting
the marshal to take him 10 Sioux Falls.
where be was 10 be turned over to the
marshal Of Iowa, after securing a re
moval before Judge Elliott in the
United States court.
Montgomery wss indicted 10 an Iowa
court on the charge Of enticing Mrs.
May Richmond from this state to Iowa
for the purpose of committing the
crime of adultery. In a statement MIR.
Montgomery denies that there is anv
thing to the story, but that ii started
by a jealous feeling.
The incidents in the case are to the
effect that Montgomery has been associ-
ated with Mrs. Richmond more or less
for some time, and that on April 16
she and her daughter left Huron for
Sioux City, where they were met by
Montgomery. He conducted them to
the Martin hotel and requested a suite
of three rooms, register ing under as.
sumed names, the woman taking the
mme of Richardson. Mrs. Richmond
received a telegram during the night
from her husband at Huron announcing
the death of Moutgomery's'wife which
occurred during the early part of the
afternoon Of that day. The clerk ia
the hotel had a suspicion that the
woman registered as Mrs. Richardson
was Mrs. Richmond, and delivered the
telergam to her at . o'clock in the
morning In apartments which Mont.
gomery had taken. She signed for
the message. The party of three left
the hotel and went to another
hostelry.
Mrs. Richmond is the wife of the
Methodist minister at Huron, and
MIR. Montgomery is said to be a leading
member of the church. A conferences
was recently held at Huron by BisLop
Luccock concerning the affair.
1t is stated Mrs. Richmond went to
Sioux City with her husbands con.
sent. The Huron Methodist church
called a meeting to examine into ru.
mors of an ugly nature that were
afioat. The result was that Richmond
resigned the pastorste. Instead of
this quieting the matter. it has added

GIVEN REVOLVER TO END LIFE
Austrian officer Accused of Treason

Vienna, May 31.-Disclosure of the
fact that Colonel Albert Redl of the
general staff of the Eighth army corps
committed suicide rather than face
trial on a charge of high treason is
made in the Military Gazette. He was
accused of selling to Russia important
military secrets.
II is the custom in the Austrian
army to give officers who are ac'
cused of a disgraceful crime the OPP
portunity of taking their own lives.
In accordance with this four officers
went to his home and discussed the
question and left behind on his table
a loaded revolver. They awaited out

that the disgraced colonel had used
the weapon as they intended.
