overruled by her allies.

CHANGE BRIDGE PLANS
Only Five of The Forty-one To Be
Built Have Been Altered

A large number of farmers living
along the roads upon which new
bridges or culVerts are TO be con-
structed this summer took advantage
of the invitation extended by the
Board of Supervisors and met with
them yesterday afternoon. The date
was the time officially fixed by the
supervisors for hearing objections to
the construction of the forty-one new
b,idg59 inclLded in the resolution of
necessity passed couple of weeks
ago, but the Board had asked that
anyone interested in the county bridg.
es should meet with them and dis
cuss matters OF pertinent interest,
whether they wanted to object or af-
firm. Those who live near the loca-
tons of the new structures naturally
know more about the area to be
drained than do the Supervisors, and
the Board is anxious that none of the
new bridges shall prove too small.
AS result OF the meeting, the
plans for five of the bridges will be
changed somewhat Most important is
in the plans for the bridge over Mid
die Creek, in Madison township which
was originally planned for 50.foot
concrete arch. II was found that a
concrete arch was not advisable at
that location and the plans were
changed to a reinforced concrete Cir
der The other four bridges, the plans
for which have been altered to some
small extent, are located one In each
of White Oak, Harrison, Richland ana
Black Oak townships

MARTIN KoszrA

The first serious difficulty between the United States and the central European states resulted from the Koszta incident, which brought America and Austria, to the brink of war. Sxty-two years ago today, June 21, 1858, Martin Koszta, a. Hun garian patriot who had taken part in the revolution Of 184S and subse- quent years, and had come to Amer ica as a refugee and declared his i'm tention of becoming 8 subject of Uncle Sam, was seized while on a. visit to Smyrna and imprisoned on an Austrian war vessel off that port. He had with him a United States pass port, and claimed the protection of the United States warship St. Louis, then in smyrna harbor. Capt. D. N. Ingraham, the commander of the St. Louis, ordered the Austrian com mander to release Koszta, and when Francis Joseph's officer refused, the American Scaptain cleared his ship for action and sent an u1tinatum to the Austrian vessel. At a. m. he demanded that Koszta be released be- fore o'clock in the afternoon and before the expiration of the limit set the prisoner was freed and placed in charge of the French consul at Smyrna Although he had brought the United States near to hostilities, Capt. Ingraham was. not censured, but on the contrary was awarded a medal by Congress.

During a period of civil strife due to the disputed succession to the throne, the clever, cruel enuch by crime and daring, raised himself to the sovereignty. He was assassi- mated in 1797 by hut his chosen suc- cessor, Futti Ali, gained supremacy over his rivals. In 1884 he was sue who in 184S gave way to his son, Nasr- -u1-Deen, whose reign continued

 brother, Ahmed Mirza. The deposed shah, Mohammed-Ah-Mir was ed-.

 able to western ideas. He started his reign by granting Persia a constitu-
 ton, but later he revoked this, and
 a revolution broke out which drove
 him from the throne When forced
 to leave Persia the ex-shah went to

ANOTHER KIND OF
 JUNE WEDDING.

Not all the June wedding announce nrents are Of the fri1ly, fluffy, brides maidy kind of thing Frequently one reads in the papers of secret mar riages and e1opernents, where the only decorations are the dingy fur nishings of a. justice of the peace of flee, and the only attendants the legal witnesses. The newspapers scent romance, however, and set their crack s1euths at work. to scare up g. story and scare head.
 Probably the publicity given by the newspapers to affairs of this kind is largely due to the injudfcious attitude of the families Many parents, if they do not approve of a marriage, try to keep it out of the papers To newspapers the yellow type, this op- crates as a powerful incentive to use
 every effort to get a story on the af- fair.
 If the family does not approve of a | marriage, the wise course for them Is to keep their disapprova1 to them selves, and frankly give out the de tails of the ceremony, which are usu- l ally simple and short enough. This disarms the newspaper detectives. | When there is no desire manifested for concea1ment, the sle1ths can't see l any chance for a story. The report
 is boiled down and put in an incon- l spicuous place. The public fearz and forgets.
 If the family refuses to give out
 any facts, however, the yellow news l papers print a story in which imag- I nation fills all gaps.Home papers To- cated more closely to the people may or may not keep it out But even | if they join in the policy of suppres- sion, this does not silence gossip. In deed it directly aggravates it, for the 1 more feeling people show over ar I H.
 Frank publication of facts about 1 any event stops all that This is true not merely of weddings but of many other happenings, where people only 1 aggravate their own troubles by trying
 to suppress things that can't be con
 cealed.

rsPosinaveay the fuun4estv play which the CA1bNEn Musical Comedy Go has yet gAgen,~ was the general verdict of sthe aages9ndience last evening after the ArafAperforznanee of '1AIrna Where DO XoHFEaFe7'' It seemed that there was noSacessat1on to the Laughter for one now and unexpected feature fol- lowed another in quick succession
 That Hn9m1Ea;bEe pair, Jack Kearney and Billy EEnn, are at the height of their aNf11fyeas laugh producers in the characters of Theobold Martin and Gaston Duva1 and when to escape from an embarrassing situation they donned .zvonnen's cIothing-but why only enjoy by going themselves to see?
 The performance was given with the same finish which has .cha1a cterized fits predecessors and which has caused considerable wonder locally as to how the company is able to accomplish so much in one short week.
 Arthur Burf1ey stepped aside from the gallant hero types which he had hitherto played here and did some ex- kcepttona11y good work as Pierre Le- Eboy.
 Miss Florence Mackfe was Alma, tSweet Alma and sweet she was 1rl kthe part, and clever, too. TheoboId' s Faenpecking and strongmfnded wife i was admirably portrayed by Miss ! Laura Willard, while Miss Nell Mo- ; Cune was Louise, the housemaid, a somewhat smaller part than this little actress has been having, and which the audience wished were larger be- cause while she is very small they like to sec her on the stage as much as possible. Ger1naine, the daughter, was played by Miss Helen Larkins, and Nanette, by Miss Irc-o CattrelI
 The director of the company made his first appeaFance to a local audi ence as Count Bolivario, the hot-head- led lover of Alma, and his rapid en- i frances and exits behind a pistol were hF1earti1y app1auqedd. Harry Luck was PFrancois Piquart, quick change de- ltectiv9s aftd John Rove was RenauIt, la notary and William Doyle, Dunodr, lR minister.
