piled that In that case she would accom-
pany Electa-
So on a Wednesday evening Electa put
on her new gray suit, her new violet
toaue and her white gloves, got into the
cab with Louis and drove to the
parsonage, where small company of her
friends and Louis waited to witness the
ceremony. And there she plighted her
faith forever to Wcstmore's orse.. AS
Mrs Jim said afterward, it was a good
deal like seeing q mouse caught under
the paw of cat But she won't squeak
even when she's scared enough to die.
They went away for a few days, then
came back to the house of the cupolas
and corners. which Louis had made no
attempt to fix up for his bride. In ten
years of emptiness it had grown rather
shabby.
Housekeeping was new to Electa, but
she attacked ii bravely. And for a while
Louis found no fault with her. Then
trouble began. Mrs. Jim DAILY went in
unexpectedly one morning and found
Electa crying her eyes out.
''Oh, darlin'"' she moaned. Il know
what this means
NO, you DON'T sobbed Electa- ut

sour. And-and-oh. / wish l didn't love
him so much. Mrs. JIM
you won't long" prophesied Mrs. Jim.
He'll kill your love for him, poor dar-
lin"
So the story got about that Electa was
having q worse time even than poor May
had had
shell leave him. said Mrs. Jim. she
can't live with him.

the grave the way he did poor May
snarled Miss Tousely
So it went on for six months or so
Then something happened-so quietly
and secretly that nobody in all Westmore
save, indeed, Electa herself knew any
tn ng about it. Louis Martn reformed.
One day it was noticed that he was wear
ing clean collar. This was sufficient sur
prise n itself. But greater surprise was
still to be. One Sunday morning he walk
ed to church with his wife and sat de-
emily hes de her until service was over.
1t was the first t me Louis Martin had
ever been seen inside a Westmore church
The next week Electa ave tea party
for ali her acquaintance, and Louis, in a
really mannerly way, helped her to make
things pleasant for them. He went to
church that Sunday also, and the day
following a corps of painters and paper
hangers began work on his house. Ii was
turther noticed that Electa was acquir-
ng a pleasant expression quite different
from that she had worn since her mar

So It went on from better to best,

bath morning he actually joined the
church Westmore went W Id with cur1os-
ity. Mrs. Jim Daily sought the confidence
of happy Electa.
What have you done? HOW did you
do it?' she lasped.
Electa laushed That's my secret.

gone. Ill have it written out for you.
That's time enough for you to know"
Many were the conjectures of how
Electa had got the mastery of Louis
Did she hold some knowledge over him!
All, that must be it. 1t was Mrs. Jim
DAILY however, who found out the only
satisfactory explanation, and that by
merest chance. Her white kitten, now
grown cat cornered a mouse one day De-
fore her very eyes. The mouse at bay
turned on the cat with such show or
fight in its desperate little visage that the
startled, bewidered cat let 1t go, scurry-
ry,ng away to safety. ''There! cried

Il don't expect. I'm hoping" Electa
sighed.

after that there was no more to be

I4ObOOE bEOlINO LNyb
Washington, July 3.-The House
rules committee today began draft
ing a sweeping resolution for a sep
arate investigation into the Iegisla-
tive and labor union corruption
charges of Col. M. M. Mulhan by a
select House committee.
The resolution will be reported to
and probably adopted by the House
today. The inquiry will begin next
Tuesday.
Chairman Henry says the investi-
cation will be ordered in a new resO-
luton, which will probe: Mulhal
charges against senators and con-
gressmen; Mulhall charges in re the
corruption of congressional commit
tees; MulhaH charges in re the. cam
paign of the National Association of
Manufacturers against organized
labor.
Another point for inquiry will be
the charges as to j. P. Morgan & Co.,
Standard Oil and other Wall Street
concerns maintaining costly publicity
bureaus.
The name of Samuel Untermeyer,
who conducted the money trust
probe has been suggested for special
attorney for the House committee.
The OveFman Senate committee
has approximately 10000 letters,
kilograms, expense accounts and re-
ports in it's hands. They constitute
the documentary evidence in support
of the MuIhal charges.
MulhaII's latest exposures are in
answer to former Congressman Jim
Watson of Indiana, and his denial of
the MulhaIl charges.
A letter signed by Fred c. Schwedt-
man, secretary to late president of
the N. A. NJ, Van Cleave, expresses
regret over Watson's defeat in his
campaign for governor of Indiana.
The letter follows:

GOmpers is absolutely defeated, but
l repeat what 1 said in yesterdays
letter, that Mr.. Van Cleave was more
interested in Mr.. Watson's election
than he was in Mr.. Taft's.
Speaking of the dead and
wounded, judge from reports in our
afternoon papers that HemenWay,
Overstreet and Foster may be among
these. Surely Indiana has suffered
more than any other state in which
we were interested. But we must
bear it like men.
eff you think it best for Mr.. Van
Cleave to write a personal letter to
Mr.. Watson and to others defeated
in Indiana, please say so in your next
letter. So far we have wired only
Mr.. Taft, Mr.. Sherman and Mr.. Can
non. Our st. Louis papers do not
seem to give sufficiently detailed in
formation as so far to speak intelli-
gently about all the districts in which
we are interested"
January II, 1909, MuIhan says
he wrote D. M. Parry, former presi-
dent of the N. A. NJ, saying he sup
posed Parry knew that Watson was
a candidate for secretary Of COM
MERGE and labor in the Taft cabinet.
The letter signed by. Parry, under
date of January %, 1909, and adj
dressed to MulhaIl, says:
81 certainly hope Mr.. Watson can
land the secretaTyship of commerce
and labor, and I have been doing all
1 could with this idea in view for
some time. l know he would satisfy
the manufacturers generally. I per-
sOnally would feel just as safe with
Mr.. Watson in that job as if Van
Cleave or myself were in that chair"

characteristics which marked him as
one of the strongest. and most re-
markable characters that ever ap-
peared in public life in Minneapolis.
Within the tenure of his official life
he stood upon propositions which
divided sentiments on some of the
big questions of the day. Quietly
and persistently he advocated his
ideas, but firmly and encompromis-
ingly. Remarkable also for extra
ordinary political luck, Mayor Haynes
combined with it capacity for
meeting and knowing men which
added to his strength. He entered
the political field in 1890, when he
was elected to the city council by %

PROPOSES Radical Chances.

Postmaster General Burleson has
determined to effect the most radical
reorganization of the postal service
ever proposed in this country. The
plan upon which he is at work is
distinguished by these features:
All postamsters to be placed under
civil service and required to pass ex-
animation for admission, retention
and promotion.
Postmasters to be appointed and
transferred without regard to local
ity, SO that, for example, resident
OF San Francisco could be made post
master Of New York, and resident
of Duluth postmaster of New Or
leans.
The postoffice department. to be
taken out of politics and made an
organization of business efficiency.
Mr.. Burleson has reached the con-
cluslon that politics is a blight on
the, postal service. Postmasters are
appointed, he says, as a reward for
political services and not for their
fitness to discharge the duties of
the position efficiently and economi-
cally.
President Wilson enthusiastically
recommends the plan of the new
postmaster general.

Whipping the Stream,

In the Franklin Journal, pub
lished at Pennington, Maine, re-
ceived by Charles Keith this week,
appears half-tone cut of one of his
old schoolmates, Chas. E. Wheeler,
and a 164 pound trout which was
landed with an eight-ounce rod. Mr..
Keith was born in trout country
and in his boyhood days was an ex-
pert at ''whipping the stream" for
brook trout. "Whipping the stream"
casting line around bends in
brooks with overhanging bushes and
trees-is an art not often practiced
in the state of Minnesota. The
anglers content themselves with
dangling worm in the water, but
there is no sport in this procedure
as compared with "whipping the

His Reason for Leaving,

Albert Wehlast, who recently
moved to Colorado from the lake
country, writes the Wahkon Enter
prise as follows: "Concerning the
many questions that are being asked
about why [ am leaving the country,
it is on account of no roads and not
on account of the country''
1t cannot be disputed that herein
Mr.. Wehlast sets forth a good reason
for leaving the lake country. No
roadside could not market his farm
produce without encountering nu-
merous obstacles. And this is the
principal reason why so many other
farmers leave. Mr.. Wehlast expects
to return, however, now that the
Dunn good roads bill has passed.

Presidential Primary Measure Offered.

Congressman Stevens of St. Paul
on Monday introduced bill in the
national house of representatives
providing for presidential primary
in all the states for the selection of
candidates for the presidency by all
the parties. The bill, if it becomes
law, will disp]ace the present
method of nominating presidential
candidates at conventions by dele
gates selected in various ways, and
will, in Mr.. Stevens Judgment, re-
suit in the nomination of the choice
of the majority of the membership
in each party to be voted upon at
the November election. It will
leave the party conventions nothing
to do but to adopt platform on
which the candidates are to stand.

A Good Old Gentleman Gone.

Nicholas W. Murphy, one of the
most amiable old gentlemen who
ever lived to make this world better
by his presence, passed peacefully
away at the home of his son-in-law
and daughter. Mr.. and Mrs. Isaac
Martin, in this village on Sunday
evening last, April Is. Mr.. Murphy
had been ailing for some time, more
in consequence of a fractured leg,
which he sustained before coming to
Princeton, than from his advanced
age, although at the time of his
death he had reached his ninety
fifth milestone on life's journey.
He came of sturdy Kentucky stock,
having first seen the light of day in
that state in 1918. He was married
in Wisconsin in 1916 and came to
Minnesota in 1856, settling near
Plainview. In may, 1912, he and his
wife came to Princeton to pass their
declining years with Mr.. and Mrs.
Isaac Martin, where Mrs. Murphy,
now 80 years of age, is still cared for
by loving hands. Sixteen children
were born to this good old couple,
four Of whom have passed to the
great beyond, and there are los per-
sons living today who ,reverently call
them either father and mother or
grandfather and grandmother.
Mr.. Murphy was one of Gods no.
blemen, charitable to fault and
honorable in the highest degree.
He performed his duty on earth con-
scientiously, and that duty was per-
formed we'll. He has earned that
promotion to higher sphere where
trouble abideth not. Funeral SER
vices were held at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Isaac Martin yesterday
morning at 10 O'Clock by Rev. Emer-
son Service, who paid high tribute
to the worth of MIR. Murphy, and
the interment was in Oak Knoll
cemetery.
The sons and daughters of the de-
ceased from out of town present at
the obsequies were DR.. Lea Murphy
and W. N. Murphy of Montevideo,
Mrs. NJ. A. Crane of St. Paul. Mrs.
Ozmun of Chicago, and Mrs. Wedge
of Waupun, Wis. Mrs. Wedge was
accompanied by her husband.
