London. Aug. 23.-Italy's decIara-
ton of war against Turkey is ex-
pected to have an almost immediate
effect on the Balkans, still debating
which side to take in the conflict.
Bulgaria still awaits reply from
Serbia to the suggestions of the en-
tente ministers that Serbia cede
Macedonia to Bulgaria. while Greece
is likely to declare her future policy
when the chamber meets this week.
The continued retirement Of the
Russians seems to have little, if any
influence on the situation. Military
critics believe victory for the en-
tente allies in the Dardanelles would
more than offset this so far as the
near east is concerned, and the
Franco-British forces are increasing
their efforts to force the straits.
There is little change in Poland
and the Baltic provinces.
Little is doing in the west and the
Italians report progress.

Make RECORD CATCH Of FISH
F. r. ZISKE AND ED. RABER GET
100 POUNDS OF FISH IN
TWO HOURS

F. R. Ziske, proprietor of the Model
Bakery Of this city, and Ed. Raber
who is employed by Mr.. Ziske, can
vouch for the statement that the Mis-
sissippi affords just as good fishing as
any river or lake in the country.
On Monday afternoon they journey
ed up the river about eight miles and
spent about two hours with the hook
and line, returning home with twenty
four wall-eyed pike, representing near
ily one hundred pounds Of fish.
Out Of the catch three Of the pike
weighed IL pounds each. two weig ghed
8 pounds each and one weighed
pounds. Mr.. Ziske said that it requir-
ed the greatest care on the part Of his
companion and himself to land the
three largest ones. Although Mr..
Ziske is fisherman of experience and
skill, and his great success was largely
due to that fact, nevertheless the re.
suits Of his fishing trip disprove the
old theory that fish are not plentiful
in the Mississippi.

Mrs. Margaret Adams Of this city
was forced to take refuge on the roof
Of her home at the corner of Broadway
and Seventh street northeast early
Sunday morning when flames which de-
stroyed her home prevented her from
running down stairs. She screamed for
help and was heard by neighbors, who
came to her rescue.
The fire started at about 1920 Sun
day morning, presumably from stove.
Mrs. Adams was sleeping upstairs and
did not awaken until the flames had
gained considerable headway and it
was impossible for her to descend the
stairway and escape in that manner.
She therefore opened window and
climbed out on the roof of the summer
kitchen and screamed for help.
The alarm was turned in by neigh
bors and the fire truck answered the
call and the flames were extinguished
in comparatively short time. The in
terror Of the house was badly damag-
ed but the walls remained intact. The
furniture and other contents were a
total loss.

At the meeting Of the literary Sec
tion of the Musical Art club at the Ii
brary parlors Tuesday evening Mrs.
Gertrude s. Hunter of Minneapolis,

al Union of Washington and state Sec

very interesting talk on "Woman and
Civic Life.'' The meeting was we'll
attended.
Mrs. Hunter gave as her definition
Of government the association of men
and women together in communities
for the regulation of human life. She
said that the suffrage movement is not
a movement Of women against men but
a movement of men and women who
see and understand what equal suf
frage is, against men and women who
do not. She said that she did not be-
lieve that women could accomplish
great things alone but that the only
way in which the great problems of
the day can be solved is by men and
women together.
Equal suffrage or full franchise for
women has dawned upon the world
and already many nations have given
women the ballot, among them being
the Scandinavian countries, Australia,
New Zealand, Isle Of Man, Tasmania,
and in twelve states in this country.
cover four million women now have
the right to vote in this country she
said, "and hereafter the president
who does not stand for this principle
will not be returned to the chair a
second time.'
AS instances of what woman has
done and can do in a civic way Mrs.
! Hunter pointed out that the present
excellent school system has been
brought about by them; night schools
for foreigners; vacation schools; kim
dergartens; the establishing of new
water supply at New Orleans through
the efforts of Miss Kate Gordon, a
prominent woman Of that city.
Mrs. Hunters talk was interesting
from start to finish and indicated that
she was greatly interested in her work
and had made deep study Of it. She
is very fluent speaker.
At the close Of the meeting num-
Der of those present joined the Con-
gressional Union, to help have tho
Bristow- -Mondell resolution passed in

TAXES COMING IN SLOWLY

County Treasurer Renick states that
the taxes are coming in slower than
usual this fall and that up to date the
payments are more than two hundred
less than at the same time last year.
This, the treasurer believes, is largely
due to the fact that most farmers are
still busy threshing, owing to the de-
Law caused by the recent rains. On all
taxes remaining unpaid on November
penalty Of ten per cent will ac-
crue.
