A Sofia dispatch gives reports from

Some difficulties are being met
with at the ambassadorial conference

Music to Him.

Evansville, 1nd.-The mystery
surrounding a string of incen-

ter Bruner, 46 years old, confessed to
the pSolice that he had burned the
dairy barns of four milk companies
here.
Suspicion was diverted from bru-
ner for a long time because he ap-
peared to be simple-minded and harm
less, but an investigation by Police
man Zumstein showed that every
where Bruner worked there was a
blaze, which came at night, and de-
stroyed barns and animals.
Questioned for his motive in firing
the structures Bruner said he wanted
to hear the COWS below in fright
when they were in the blazing barns.
THAT was music" he said to the
chief.

Ssa'- DREADED TO EAT.
A Quaker Couples Experience.

How many persons dread to eat

Nature never intended this should
be so, for we are given a thing called
appetite that should guide us as to
what the system needs at any time

But we get in a hurry, swallow our
food very much as we shovel coal into
the furnace, and our sense Of appetite
becomes unnatural and perverted.
Then we eat the wrong kind Of food

London, Eng.--The pendulum OF
peace In the Balkans swings between
the fall of Adrianople and action by
the powers of Europe. Advice, sug-
gestions, good offices, pressure and
friendly offers-all that diplomatic
terminology has been able to invent
have been attempted by the powers
to bring the conflicting parties to
terms over Adrianople, but the re-
luctance of Turkey to cede the holy
city, is only surpassed by the deter
mination of the allies to win their
point to have it included in the terri
tory of Bulgaria.
Several so-called intermediate
courses for solving the problem, by
neither entirely separating AdTiano-
pie from Turkey nor entirely giving
it to Bulgaria, hay been refused by
