Antwerp Holding Out
Belief in England

London, Oct. 9. 1905 A. M.--So far
as England knows this morning Ant
werp, the latest of the cities of Bel
gium to be beleaguered, is still hold
ing out against the German onslaught.
King Albert has Withdrawn from the
city toward Ostend where the admin
istration is now fully established but
practically hte entire Belgian field
army has remained to resist as long
as possible the fire fthe great Ger
man guns. the horrible effects of
which were made plain at Liege.
The nations opposing Germany
hoped that the defenders could hold
out till the allied delivered some de-
cisive blow along the battle line in
France which has now almost reached
the North Sea and, taken in conjunc-
ton with the fighting which extends
across the Belgian frontier to the
northward of Lille. makes a gigantic
front sprawling like a snake half
across Belgium and across practically
all of the northeastern part of France.
The siege of Antwerp an dthe battle
of the Aisne are thus becoming more
and more closely related and both
the Germans and the allies are making
the most desperate efforts to crush
each other and smash through the
ever-lengthening western wings.

Defenders Inspired
by Presence of King
Rr dssoeinted Prstr

London, Oct. Q. All a. m. - The
fierce resistance of Antwerp's defend
ers on the Scheldt was partly in
spired by the presence of King Albert
himself, says the Client correspondent
of the Chronicle in dispatch under
Thursdays date. The repeated Ger
man attacks aimed at the line of de-
fense proved futile and the German
attack was attended with terrible
losses.
THE batteries We're engaged in q
brisk duet while on our side the ma
chine guns were also hard at work.
This continued for some hours The
Germans for time did not succeed
in lociling the Belgian batteries, and
it was amusing to watch their shells
exploding as rule in any but the
right place.
Early in the afternoon, however,
they sent an aeroplane over the Bel
gian lines and positions and very
shortly afterwards their shells began
to drop in inconvenient places. The
Belgians found that they were being
overpowered and orders were given to
withdraw from their positions"

STOP TAKING DOPE FOR
HEADACHE
Remove the Cause by One Dose ot
MOrrePs Salts-"rhe

It's dangerous to kill headaches with
so-called headache remedies. They
simply deaden the pain without remov-
ing the cause. You are left still sick,
even If you do not feel the pain. And
the deadly drugs employed often create
the dreadful drug habit in a mild form.
Avoid headache powders and tablets
as you would avoid POISON! You can
secure quick and certain relief by
using Morrers Salts - 'The Safe
Cathartic." This simple, natural rem
edy is prepared from the waters of

The bowling alleys are already in
use, although the bowling league will
not organize until the first week in
November. One of the most popular
of the additions to the equipment has
been the natatorium. 1t has had a
successful year, and has been very

swimming is impossible, it will be used
more than ever, for the room is kept
at an even temperature of so degrees,
and the water Is heated to 76 degrees.
Several meets are being planned with
the swimming teams of other associa-
tions, and the season will be opened
by a local meet. in which only men,
bers of the Harrisburg association will
participate. This meet will be held
November 90. and will be a. great help
in choosing the swimmers to form a
representative team.

CRACK SPRING CITY BAND

Once more the Telegraph was well
serenaded this morning by one of the
crack bands of the State which made

fire-fighting organization for which
they played, the Liberty Steam Fire

Surely" l thought as,I put Kitty
Malram's announcement of her en-
gagement to a minister down and
picked up my last letter, this note
from Eliene Symone must be just a
commonplace invitation after such
sensational bit of news. Fate cannot
hurl a second one into my lap.
But l had not realized that if the
things that actually happen every
day in the most monotonous lives
were chronic1ed they would be set
down as the emanations of the most
unreal of fictional imagination.
Here in one morning l, Margaret
Waverly, who had lived most I'M
eventually, had been asked to help
and advise in a case where the whole
future lives of two people depended
upon the outcome.
Suddenly l began to feel very old
and hoped that Eliene's note was an
invitation to do something particular
ly frivolous-I wanted to put off the
responsibility for a little time.
Eliene's note read:
L Sudu Call IOI YOU dI Ii U CLOCK
tomorrow, dear Madge. want you to
go with me to see my babies-I am
going to adopt twins two wonderful
boys. 1 am the happiest and most
miserable woman in the world"
This last letter capped the climax.
Eliene was going to adopt twins and
was the happiest and most miserable
woman in the world What could it
mean? Had Harry at last given his
consent? What had happened? For
moment this last letter overshadoWed
the contents of the other one. look
ed at the clock; it was after nine, and
if 1 was to be ready for Eliene must
hurry and dress for the street. 1 was
barely finished when Eliene opened
my door after light knock. Her face
was gray; she looked as though she
had not slept for a week. Her hands
