Crown Prince.
MANY romantic stories have been
told of Wi1hem5' Wooing of the Schles

that in 1879, that when the future EN-
peror was student at Bonn, ne was

The Prince hurried away, but q few

were married and-wel1, Some of tia
pesky socialist sheets of Germany
have intimated. in times past, that
they did not live happy ever after. The
bone of contention between the impe-
rial pair, according to these authori-
ties, was that the Kaiser insisted up
on designing his spouse's costumes
and as a result the Empress was often
described as s.tl1e worst dressed Wo-
man in Europe OF late years the
Kaiserin has been wearing Partisan
costumes, and, while she is now clad

imperial husband has been too busy
to exercise any supervision. over tbs
matter.
A few years ago there was much
discussion over the allegation that tbs
Empress was only the morganatic
wife of the Kaiser. This charge was
made by enemies Of the Crown Prince
who hoped thus to prevent that young
gentleman from succeeding to the
throne, since the children OF NOR
ganatic wife are not eligible to ths
succession,

there is a flaw in the descent of the
Empress which bars her from beins

es have never been taken seriously BY
the masses of the German people, who

Mr.. and Mrs. Godfrey Stettler. for
merly we'll known residents of Nam

living in western Canada Il months
They left Nampa four years ago and
settled in Twin Falls Having heard
and read SO many glowing accounts
about western Canada. Mr. and Mrs
Stettler concluded TO try that coun-
try. They settled IA months ago in

road and Mr.. Stettler opened a meat

bad enough before the war because
everything had been over-boomed.

Mr.. Stettler said each family Of
homesteaders had been given sac by
the government to be used in buying
provisions. but there is much suffer
ing and he thought many would
starve before they could get out of
the country. No one here could imag-
inc how bad conditions really are
Mrs. Stettler declared it was a shame
the way the country had been boom
ed and misrepresented at great finan-
cial loss to Americans who had flock
ed in there and now were not able
to get away. She hoped that the
facts might be printed so that Others
would be prevented from going.

MEETS AN UNTIMELY DEATH.
Instantly Killed in Auto
Accident

1t becomes our painful duty this
week to chronicle the first fatality
that has occurred from an automo-
bile accident in this immediate vi
cinity since the machines came in
general use here. Monday evening
shortly after O'Clock an auto from
the Hazelton livery which was being

that it would be the last journey for
one of them at least.
No more was thought of the party
until, after midnight when Mr.. Geo.

containing some of the mem bers of

dent had occurred and that the driv-
er, Mr. Tillman. had been killed Re

and the other side of the divide
where the grade is declining. Here
the disabled car was found standing
erect on its wheels but having evi-
