Field seized the opportunity of the
decks seclusion to propose. He was
accepted.
OF course, the whole thing was to be
kept secret. Miss Marshall went to
her home and for some time Mr.. Field
fitted back and forth between New
York and Chicago. He lived at the
Ritz while in town, only short taxi
ride from his fiancee's home. A few
weeks ago he went back to England,
probably to see his mother-the widow
of Marshall Field, Jr., who married
Captain Maldwin Drummond of the
British army, and tell her of his hap
piness. He liked the Lusitania so
much after his pleasant September
trip that he elected to return on the
same ship.
Miss Marshall has been called one
of the most beautiful young women in
New York and she made a distinct i'm
preston which she presented at
the court of st. James within the past
year in London. When the war broke
out Mrs. Marshall, her mother, who
was Miss Josephine Lenox Banks, long
prominent figure in New York So

good there in the American hospital.
1t is said Mrs. Marshall will return
home about Christmas to prepare for
the wedding. which will be very quiet.

Wounded Sailors.

When a soldier fighting on land IS
wounded he is generally carried out OF
the firing zone without much delay and
is soon made as comfortable as pos
sible in hospital out of range OF the
enemy's guns. Not so the sailor on
board a warship. Warships are, above
everything, fighting machines. There
is very little spare room on board and
in the confusion of battle the wounded
sailor cannot get the best attention all
at once, nor can he be carried out OF
range of the big guns of the enemy.
But efforts are made TO carry him TO
place of safety. Such places, easy OF
access and not too hot, are scarce
enough. OF course all that can be
done is done. The wounds are dressed

as possible in the circumstances. Then

Musical authorities seem agreed that
when used in a proper way the drum
is thoroughly musical. The common
snare or side drum is freely used in
musical composition. A large number
of drummers performing simultaneous
ly out of doors produce good music. In
this connection Berlioz, the composer,
pointed out that a sound that was in
significant when heard singly, such as
the clink of one or two muskets at
shoulder arms or the thud as the butt
comes to the ground at ground arms,
becomes brilliant and attractive if
performed by thousand men together.

An offer to donate 20 acres of land

Gated a spring of highly medicinal
water, for use as the location of a
tuberculosis sanatorium, has been
made by Sheriff o. L. Bruner. who to-
day became possessor of a 24O acre
farm of the Frank Carr estate.
This site is particularly adapted for
such an institution and any organiza-
ton which is considering the erection
of a sanatorium would do well to con-
slider the tract, since it is ideally locat-
ed for a hospital.
The city at present is giving much
thought to sanatorium sites, and there
would at least be one particularly
favorable advantage in this location in
that the site would be away from
roise or impurities filling the air.
Bought as Speculation.
Sheriff Bruner purchased the tract
for purely speculative purposes. He
bid $4,000 for it at a master in chanc-
cry sale at the court house ten days
ago. paying $500 down, and complet-
ed the payment today of $4,000. The
deed has been transferred to him.
The land had been in the Carr fam
lily since the early SOS. 1t was origin
ally part of a strip, one mile wide and
two miles long, decided by the govern
ment to L. l.. Case in 1886. Mr.. Case
was a pioneer of this county. 1t sub
sequently passed from the Cases to
Peter Carr, and at his death to the
son, Frank Carr. Mr.. Carr died leav-
ing no will and the land was sold at
the master in chancery sale to clear
the estate.
Mr.. Bruner announced this morning
that he would not retain it, but would
sell at the first figure that suited him.

during the last naif of the present
month were provided by Il resolution
passed by the house tonight. The
resolution extended Appropriation
bills of the last fiscal year to cover

extended up to tomorrow.

Of the tangled Legislative situation in
which the majority found itself. The
determination Of the rules committee
not to meet in the face Of pending

lutions made il impossible for Dem

opening up both these questions, and
Republican Leader Mann refused to
allow the resolution to go through
