CHANCE OF LIFE TIME
BUT WILLIAM BALKS
Offered Small Fortune if He Weds
Young Lady Within Ten
DAYS.

One thousand dollars in cold cash,
rent free for five years in an aristo-
cratic neighborhOod, and the POSSIBLE
ity that a house and estate valued at
approximately $4,000 were to be
yours at the end of five years-wOuld
these things, If you were an eligible
young bachelor, prove inducement at
tractive enough TO start you on To-
day search for a wife,
Would you, still with the under
standing that you are an eligible
young bachelor, ask a woman you had
known but a few days TO share the
joys and vicissitudes Of married life
for a period OF five years, if these
things which have been enumerated
were to become yours?
There is man in our town TO whom
this proposition was put Friday morn
ing, and who hesitated before he gave
his answer. In fact, he is still hest
tating. and his friends declare that he
will probably refuse TO even consider
the matter further
The man is William Hagedorn, 1907
W. Washington av., and the PROPOSE
ton was made to him by his very
good friend, Lewis Ivan. member Of
the firm Of Ivan Bros, manufacturers
Of hardware novelties and shovels.
Mr.. Ivan, according to the statement
he is accredited with by men who were
present when he offered young Hage-
dorm a home for himself and wife-tO-
be. is moved TO his plagiarism of Dan
Cupid by a friendly and godfatherly
feeling toward William.
But the latter must hustle If the
contract is TO be entered into He is
given but % days TO locate, WOO and
win his bride on his wedding he will
be given $500 Six months from that
date there Will be another $500 placed
TO his credit in a local bank At the
end of five years he Will be given a
house and estate located at 916 w.
Washington aV., the intrinsic value of
which has been placed at S10. 900. This
is owned at present by Mr.. Ivan, ana
is the house young Hagedorn Will Oc-
cupy while the conditions of the con-
tract are lived up TO.
BUT-and here is the rub-William
doesn't like the women.
Who would have me-" he asked
Ivan.
Well. who Will?

Italian front the AustrO- Hungarian

TUMULTYS STATEMENT

The exhaustive statement by joseph
Tumulty, secretary to the president.
concerning the dealings with affairs
in Mexico by President Wilson, and his
secretaries of state. and the reasons
that led TO the recognition OF Car
rama az president de facto of the
Mexican republic. should satisfy every
religious denomination, and every
patriotic citizen, that President VIII
son and his administration have full
filed all their duties, both to their
country and to Mexico in the prem
Uses.
Politicians aud mischief makers
have been industriously circulating the
most malicious lies about the neglect
of the government TO do its duty,
while in fact the government has con-
scientiously and faithfully protected
as far as possible every right of for
eign residents of Mexico and OF every
religious organization in that repub-
lie. Secretary Tumulty's statement
makes ii clear that many Shiny
stories" about outrages by Mexicans
upon religious orders and females
connected with some OF them, were in
nearly or quite every instance manu-
featured TO order by mischief makers
with the ulterior purpose Of bringing
into iisrepute the government of the
United States.
1t is great pity that such stories
which have been circulated should re-
ceive any eredence at all But it is
we'll that having been circulated they
should be authoritatively denied and
disprosed This Secretary Tumuity
has emphatically and effectively done
by his statement,
Well disposed people OF all parties
will heartily approve OF President
Wilson's policy in dealing with the
delicate questions which the internal
struggles in Mexico forced upon the
attention Of the United States gov
eminent He has made a record for
this country and its people that will
defy assaults from any quarter. He
has been democratic and right. and
American and right. in his attitude to-
ward nation that needed help and
a people who needed sympathy.
